Chapter 204 Dare to Die Once
Chapter 204 Dare to Die Once
"Mother?!"
Ji Xuze screamed.
Although the eldest princess still looked sick, pale and weak, it did not affect her noble pride as a favored daughter of heaven at all.
She glanced at Ji Xuze indifferently and said, "I am not worthy of being called a mother by Prince Ji."
Ji Xuze seemed to be deaf to all this, and crawled to get closer to the princess, but was kicked away by Ye Xuanke: "What the hell!"
All the resentment towards Ji Xuze that had been pent up in his heart for years was finally released, and Ye Xuanke just felt relaxed all over.
Nanny Liu helped the princess sit down, but her grief and anger had reached its peak. The princess smiled and patted the back of her hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Ji Xuze yelled, "Mother, mother, please save me, they... they want to kill me!"
Theoretically, it was one thing to know that her son called another woman "mother", but when Wan Biying heard it with her own ears, she felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.
She ignored the fact that she had instigated Ji Hongwen to deceive and exploit the eldest princess. All she could think about was how the eldest princess had used her status to snatch away her beloved man and made him his concubine, and had snatched away her only son and separated them from each other.
All the hatred burst out the moment Ji Xuze called the eldest princess "mother".
Although he couldn't speak, his sad and angry "wailing" sounds and his scarlet eyes were like sharp blades that seemed to want to stab the princess.
Madam Liu, who had been patient for a long time, went up and slapped Wan Biying a few times: "You lowly thing, who gave you the courage to disrespect the princess?"
If she hadn't realized that Song Yunxi still had some use for her, Nanny Liu would have killed her long ago.
Wan Biying was beaten so hard that she saw stars again. Her head was so dizzy that she could hardly stand up. She fell to the ground with her body tilted.
No one cared about her life or death, not even her beloved man and son.
At this moment, Ji Xuze didn't care about his biological mother's life or death at all, and only wanted his adoptive mother, whom he hated to the core, to save him.
Ji Hongwen stared at the eldest princess infatuatedly, his eyes full of nostalgia, which made Song Yunxi feel sick.
If you don’t know, you would think he loves the princess so much. It’s so disgusting that I just want to kill him!
Ji Hongwen could never have imagined that after twenty-one years of separation, she was still so beautiful and noble. Time had only faded away her youthfulness and immaturity. Now, time had polished her to become more calm and elegant, as well as more dignified and beautiful.
Compared with her, Wan Biying's graceful and elegant appearance seemed even more petty.
But he forgot that it was her beautiful girl who once made him obsessed and willing to give up everything for her.
"A Sheng..."
Ji Hongwen had just called out the eldest princess's name obsessively when he heard the eldest princess's ruthless and cold voice the next moment: "Zhou Feng, go slap me in the face so that he will remember that not everyone can call me by my name!"
Ji Hongwen was beaten so hard that his eyes went dark, but in his heart he still couldn't believe that the princess would treat him like this.
The old prince rubbed his eyes and confirmed that it was indeed the eldest princess. Then he asked in confusion: "Princess, what is going on?"
The imperial physician had confirmed that the eldest princess had passed away, but now she appeared in front of everyone in good health, and the old prince was really confused.
The princess looked at Song Yunxi and Ye Xuanqi: "Thanks to these two children, Yunxi and Xuanqi."
She also thought she was doomed, but Song Yunxi not only saved her, but also made a bold proposal.
"Do you dare to die once to see the true face of some people?"
After escaping death, everything became clear to her. She naturally understood who the people Song Yunxi was talking about were.
She was brought up by the late emperor himself, a treatment that no other prince had ever received. She had learned the art of being an emperor and political tactics since she was young, so how could she not see what kind of person her adopted son really was?
But since she had made the promise back then, she had to keep it. Plus, she had always been self-righteous about the deep love between husband and wife, so she was unwilling to face it.
What she didn't expect was that Ye Xuanqi had secretly dug out everything.
She listened to everything in the side room and could hardly believe her ears.
But she knew better than to keep running away.
"Old uncle, I originally just wanted to use this incident of being secretly poisoned to see the true colors of the people around me, especially my adopted son whom I have raised with all my efforts..."
The princess heaved a long sigh of relief: "But, I didn't expect that not only did I see his true face, but I also knew about a conspiracy that had been planned for decades against me and used the royal family."
The old prince was also filled with sorrow. He knew old Su Anbo. He never thought that such an ordinary and inconspicuous person would dare to risk the extermination of his own clan and plot against the royal family.
The princess finally looked at Ji Hongwen straight in the eye: "Ji Hongwen, you dare to plot against the late emperor and me like this, I think you must be prepared to do it at all costs."
The eldest princess really didn't want to face this man, so she turned to Ye Xuanqi and said, "Fourth Brother, I'll leave it to you."
"Aunt, just rest and take care of yourself. I know what to do."
After saying that, he stopped Ji Hongwen from disturbing the princess and ordered Zhou Feng to take him and the unconscious Wan Biying away.
Only then did she take a serious look at Ji Xuze who was still leaning in front of her.
How could she not know that this adopted son was ambitious, narrow-minded and intolerant?
But the advantage is that he is filial and obedient enough, so he can still keep the title of Earl Su'an.
So she just hoped that he could become a leisurely earl and live a comfortable life after inheriting the title, and that it would be enough for the Ji family to have more children.
But I never thought that even my filial piety and obedience to her were fake.
And she had to admit that he disguised himself so well that she didn't notice it at all.
"Take it down!"
The princess took a deep look at her adopted son, and finally closed her eyes in despair: "Don't be lenient in how you deal with him, but don't forget to tell your father, so that he doesn't have to worry about me anymore."
After all, this was her son whom she had raised with all her heart and soul for more than twenty years. How could she be completely calm?
But she is the daughter of the Ye family, the eldest princess who was carefully raised by the late emperor. She absolutely cannot fall for such an ungrateful man.
Ye Xuanqi called An San, as he thought Ji Xuze was too noisy. An San simply knocked him out and dragged him away.
Song Yunxi: “…”
[Actually, there is no need to do this. I'd be dead if I didn't find such a fellow.]
Ye Xuanke said unhappily, "Don't you always say that evil will last for a thousand years? So that ungrateful wolf will definitely not die."
After Ji Xuze was taken away, the eldest princess slowly opened her eyes. There was no trace of weakness or hurt in her eyes, and she was still as intimidating and fierce as before.
"You are all members of the royal family. You should know that you and the court share the same fate. People with ulterior motives dare to plot against the late emperor and me, let alone you?"
