Chapter 213 Formation Eye
"Father, Father, you can't..."
The third prince rushed into the inner hall and stopped in his tracks when he saw Empress Ji being embraced by the emperor.
He just learned that his mother had killed Tang'er and was under house arrest by his father.
I was so scared that I almost lost my soul.
Thinking of his father's protective attitude towards Tang'er last night, he was afraid that he would get angry and punish his mother as well.
He was so frightened that his heart dropped and he rushed over immediately.
Seeing that both of them were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
That's fine.
Although he and Tang'er have a childhood sweetheart relationship, compared to his mother, the queen mother is naturally more important.
The Ji family is no longer reliable. As long as the queen mother is around, the position of crown prince will be his one day!
When the emperor saw the third prince coming, he patted Queen Ji on the back and quickly let her go.
Empress Ji felt the rare tenderness shown by the emperor in the past few days, and was reluctant to see such a good atmosphere broken, so she glared at the third prince.
The third prince touched his nose, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
He hurriedly stepped into the room and bowed to the emperor and empress.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. I have heard the news of Tang'er's death. I believe it was an unintentional mistake. So I came here, firstly, to ask Your Majesty to forgive you. Secondly, I want to go see Tang'er and comfort his spirit in heaven."
Ji Tang has passed away, but after all, she was the emperor's former concubine, so the emperor still glanced at the third prince.
"The Ministry of Rites will be responsible for the funeral arrangements of Concubine Wan. Xu'er, I know that you have a prejudice against me because of her. So if you want to go and see her, go ahead. But in the future, don't worry about it anymore, and don't let it cause you any more trouble..."
When the third prince heard the emperor say this, he thought that he still felt that he was harboring thoughts that he shouldn't have.
His knees trembled with fear, and he quickly knelt down. "Father, I have no intention of worrying about you. I figured it out last night. It was my fault. Father, you make all the decisions based on your own considerations!"
His kneeling made the emperor feel inexplicably bitter.
Xu'er had been closest to him in the past, and their father-son relationship was a warmth that emperors of all dynasties had rarely enjoyed.
When did we become so estranged?
Moreover, he was actually just worried that the Third Prince would blame him and Jia Ru because of Ji Tang's matter.
Presumably, Xu'er still has some misunderstandings about himself.
His voice softened: "That's not what I meant. Anyway, please don't blame me and your mother..."
"I don't blame you, it's all God's will..."
The third prince quickly explained.
After all, he still remembered yesterday when his father punished him to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes.
The emperor finally experienced his anger.
When Empress Ji saw that the Third Prince was so considerate, tears had already welled up in her eyes and she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Now, she is even more certain that only Xu'er and the emperor are truly her family and the ones she can respect.
She choked up and looked at the Third Prince: "My mother did something wrong. My mind was confused at the time, and I don't know why I impulsively attacked Tang'er. But, but my mother doesn't want to kill Tang'er, so later, my mother and your father will go to the Ji Mansion together to explain this matter to your grandfather."
She looked at the emperor again and said, "How about Xu'er, come with us!"
There was a hint of timidity in her eyes. "I think my father will be angry about this. I'm afraid he won't let it go and forgive me. When that happens, I'm afraid there will be another fight."
She paused, "Let Xu'er go with me. Perhaps Father will be more understanding of me because of the past relationship between Xu'er and Tang'er..."
Queen Ji also knew that it was almost impossible to forgive.
Qingyan died here, and Tang'er also died because of him.
When the Ji family heard the news, they must have hated her.
She wanted Xu'er to go with her, but she wanted to use Xu'er's name to let her father and Si Luan and the others know that if they had a falling out with her, it would be bad for everyone.
Xu'er is most likely the future emperor, and since he is a junior, they should be a little understanding for his sake.
The emperor thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "It would be good to let Xu'er go. By the way, he can also burn some incense for his aunt."
The Third Prince understood Empress Ji's intention and immediately agreed: "I will obey the will of my father, the emperor, and my mother."
……
Outside Kunning Palace, Jiang Yuanfeng was looking up at the palace with a serious look.
Threads of white air flowed into Kunning Palace.
That is the Yin energy.
His eyes were as deep as a pool, and his face was filled with worry.
Kunning Palace is an extremely important part of the Qiankun Five Qi Formation. Now that Yin Qi has flowed in, the entire formation has instantly lost half of its effectiveness.
Since the Yin energy has broken through the Yang energy and entered, does this mean that the center of the formation installed in Kunning Palace has been destroyed?
Thinking of this, he immediately walked towards the gate of Kunning Palace.
Two eunuchs were standing at the door. Seeing Jiang Yuanfeng rushing in, they quickly reached out to stop him: "Sir, the harem is a restricted area. No outsiders are allowed to enter."
Jiang Yuanfeng frowned, he was so impulsive that he almost forgot that Kunning Palace was the first palace in the harem.
Therefore, he retracted the foot that involuntarily wanted to step forward.
"Has anything major happened in Kunning Palace recently?" he asked the young eunuch.
"Big news?" One of the eunuchs looked startled. "We've had a lot of big things happen here recently. Which one are you talking about, sir?"
Jiang Yuanfeng was stunned by the question, his heart paused, and he frowned and said, "Then tell me all the major events that have happened in Kunning Palace recently. I will see if there is anything I want to ask about."
Seeing that he was wearing an official uniform of a high rank, the young eunuch began to count hurriedly.
"First, there was the flower-viewing banquet, then Miss Ji II had an affair with Lord Pei Fan. Then, Miss Ji II fell into the lake and died. Then, the Empress held the Second Miss responsible for her death and executed four palace maids. Then, the Emperor personally appointed Miss Ji Tang as Consort Wan. Finally, this morning, it was the Empress who stabbed Consort Wan to death..."
The young eunuch listed a lot of major events, and Jiang Yuanfeng was shocked.
Unexpectedly, the Kunning Palace was already in turmoil.
But there was so much to say that he was fed up with it, so he hurriedly asked, "Did anything happen inside related to the Nine Dragons Spouting Water Fountain?"
The young eunuch glared, "Nine Dragons Spouting Water Fountain?!"
In the eyes of their servants, this is a serious matter that must not be mentioned!
Because those eunuchs who were executed were all familiar to them, and thinking of their deaths, everyone was horrified...
The young eunuch's reaction made Jiang Yuanfeng subconsciously feel that there was something fishy going on, and he hurriedly asked, "Did anything happen there?"
The young eunuch scratched his head, looked around, and finally answered, "The Nine Dragons Spouting Water Fountain that your Excellency mentioned is gone."
"Gone?!" Jiang Yuanfeng couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Why is it gone? What happened?"
Hearing the anxiety in his voice, the eunuch whispered, "It was on the day when Miss Ji and Commander Pei had an affair. That fountain was accidentally blown up by Xiao Xizi and the others..."
“Exploded?!”
Jiang Yuanfeng couldn't help but scream, his throat was broken.
He felt like he was about to explode.
His expression suddenly turned solemn, his eyes revealed a strong anger and overflowed with oppressive pressure.
The young eunuch in front of him was frightened, and now he couldn't help but tell everything like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
"That day at the flower viewing banquet, Xiao Xizi and the other two were moving the fireworks for the evening. They accidentally lit a firework under the fountain, and it exploded in the gap under the fountain."
After saying this, Jiang Yuanfeng's expression froze, but he was a little skeptical: "But how could that firework completely shatter the fountain?"
A fountain stone statue that big would probably require a lot of gunpowder.
When the young eunuch heard his question, he quickly looked around again.
Jiang Yuanfeng understood that this was a secret that had not yet been spoken.
He quickly lowered his voice and threatened, "Tell the truth now!"
Seeing that no one was around, the young eunuch continued his gossip: "I told you, my Lord, you can't mention it in front of others. Otherwise, if the people in the palace find out, they will definitely give me a beating!"
Jiang Yuanfeng suppressed his impatience and hummed.
Then the young eunuch said, "It was the Empress. She went to see the fireworks and got angry. She slapped the fountain hard with her hand, creating a huge hole. Then the fountain collapsed!"
what? !
These words made Jiang Yuanfeng take two steps back.
Surprisingly, it’s the queen!
Does this mean...
