Chapter 623 The Queen Confesses! Father-in-Law Jiang Che?
After learning that there was a mastermind behind the chaos in the world who had comprehended the rules of space, Ji Nantian's panic almost reached its peak.
That kind of existence is not something the current court can contend with.
Only by winning over the strong can we have the power to protect ourselves.
And the old ancestor Ku Rong can contend with such a strong man without being defeated. He is almost the strongest person he can meet at present. He must win over this person, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
The old ancestor Ku Rong was obviously a little moved, because he was also afraid of the mastermind behind the scenes. If he succeeded in his plan, there might be a great terror.
And the reason why he appeared was actually because he had the idea of coming out.
Now that the world has changed drastically and the rules have reappeared, it is time to make his foundation more solid at this time, otherwise, he really has no confidence in impacting the true immortal tribulation in the future.
"I can help you, Ji family, but I have a condition."
"Senior, please tell me."
Ji Nantian was delighted.
He was not afraid that the old ancestor Ku Rong would not make any request, but he was afraid that the other party would refuse his invitation.
"It is said that the imperial court's treasury collects the world's treasures. This time, I must get one-third of the imperial court's treasures, and I will only make one move, and I will not die for the imperial court.
If I really meet a strong man that I can't compete with, then I will not die for the Great Zhou."
The Ji family has been established for more than 600 years, unifying the Central Plains of China, and mastering the most extensive resources. If he wants to enrich his foundation, he must get a big share. Moreover, only in this way is it worth his risk.
Ji Nantian's face changed. One-third of the treasures in the treasury are exchanged for only one move. There is no doubt that this is definitely a sky-high price, but the problem is that the current situation does not allow him to refuse.
Gritting his teeth, after thinking again and again, he decided to agree. With the old ancestor Ku Rong in charge, Jiang Che is no longer a threat. The only thing he needs to be wary of is the mysterious mastermind.
"Okay, let's do as you say."
Ancestor Ku Rong nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good, you are a smart man."
If Ji Nantian bargained with him, he would not really fight with him. With his current strength, even if he robbed the entire treasure house, it would not be a problem at all.
It was just that he did not dare to be too presumptuous because of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Mother, disaster!"
In the capital, in the prince's mansion, the third prince Ji Changsheng ran to the backyard with a horrified face, with some lingering shock on his face, as if he had encountered some great terror.
"What's wrong? You are so flustered, how can you let outsiders see you?" Xue Baiyi looked at her son so flustered and immediately started to teach him a lesson. She was already in a panic because of helping Jiang Che before.
The most unbearable thing is bad news.
After all, once the news is leaked, the entire Xue family will be greatly implicated.
Fortunately, the secret of the innate thick earth energy has not been exposed so far, which made her feel a little relieved despite her panic.
"Mother." Ji Changsheng looked worried and frowned.
"Go on."
"Big brother seems to be dead." Ji Changsheng looked around, lowered his voice after getting closer, but there was an uncontrollable fear in his voice.
Even listening to the tone, he was trembling.
"Ji Changgan is dead? Impossible, don't talk nonsense here." Xue Bai'e didn't believe it at all.
If someone else died, she might believe it, but it was impossible for Ji Changgan to die. As the eldest son of Ji Wenhao, Ji Changgan is a well-deserved prince.
He was even a very popular candidate for the throne.
Even though the limelight has been taken away by the second prince Ji Changzhi, as the blood of the Ji family, Ji Changgan will not be killed, just like Ji Wenhao, who only killed the former prince's family after he came to power.
Although the other brothers and sisters were punished, none of them were killed. Even the sister of the former crown prince was only married to the South Vietnam as the queen.
Moreover, Ji Wenhao was still alive. How could Ji Changzhi dare to kill Ji Changqian?
She didn't believe such rumors at all.
"Really, mother, I'm not talking nonsense. This is true." Seeing that his mother didn't believe it, Ji Changsheng's tone was even a little excited.
"What's going on?" Seeing that her son's expression didn't seem to be false, Xue Bai'er's face also showed a trace of solemnity.
Ji Changsheng's throat moved and whispered:
"Before, because the Taoist sect was..."
Immediately, he told the whole story of the matter.
It turned out that since the Taoist sect broke with the court, Ji Changqian, who lost the support of the Taoist sect, lost his power. Later, Ji Changsheng was also implicated because of Jiang Che.
Almost deprived of the qualification to compete for the throne, most of the vassals around them also dispersed, which made the two of them a little panicked. Finally, under the arrangement of the eldest prince Ji Changqian, the two met secretly.
Finally, they reached an alliance agreement to help each other and keep each other warm.
Of course, this group is not that they still dream of competing for the throne. In fact, they all know that without the support behind them, they have completely lost their qualifications.
The real reason for their group is that they don’t want Ji Changzhi to take revenge on them in the future.
After all, although Ji Changzhi is very warm on the surface and very friendly with his brothers, no one knows what kind of heart he has behind him, just like their father.
Before he ascended the throne, he was a well-known virtuous king, but after he ascended the throne, his face suddenly changed, implicating many officials and brothers, although not many were killed.
But he killed all the brothers who were a threat to him.
Naturally, the two of them didn't want to do this. Later, the friendship between the two brothers became deeper and deeper in private. Especially after Jiang Che gradually gained momentum, Ji Changqian once made a vague suggestion.
That is, if one day, if Jiang Che breaks into the capital and the rebellion succeeds, Ji Changqian hopes to use his relationship to establish some contact with Jiang Che, so as to keep a wealthy and virtuous king as much as possible.
At that time, Ji Changsheng also pretended to agree to this.
Originally, Ji Changqian and Ji Changsheng could only stay like this, waiting for the final trial, but yesterday, Ji Changqian's princess secretly sent someone to invite him into the palace.
Ji Changsheng didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that he would contact him privately, but when he arrived, he saw the emperor's sister-in-law with tears on her face and handed him a soul lamp.
And that soul lamp was done by the eldest prince Ji Chang, and it was completely extinguished.
As for the reason why the princess told him the news, it was because of something Ji Changqian once told her. When it comes to the most dangerous time, she can trust Lao San.
At that time, Ji Changqian looked horrified and repeatedly asked what was going on.
But the answer he got was that his father summoned the eldest prince to the palace to practice, but the soul lamp went out that night.
After hearing the news, Ji Changsheng could no longer sit still, and even felt unspeakable fear. He quickly asked for more details, and then asked something from the princess.
That was before that, within the royal family, several cousins who had a good relationship with Ji Changqian were summoned to the palace, but they were not as cautious as Ji Changqian and only left the soul lantern in the clan mansion. No one thought there was anything wrong with entering the palace.
At that time, the emperor's sister-in-law asked him for asylum, and he agreed in a confused manner. Then he ran back to the prince's mansion in a panic, and immediately sent someone to investigate some things, and the news he just received was.
Since the past few days, his father had summoned dozens of royal family members for various reasons, including several of his uncles who were imprisoned in the capital.
And so far, of all the people who entered the palace, not one has returned.
He even tried to use some of the connections he had bought before to investigate the matter, but the people he sent still had no news, so he couldn't sit still and came to his mother to seek asylum.
After all, although he has lost power now and has even been implicated because of Jiang Che, he has gained some support again after his mother clan came to have Marshal Xue who guarded the capital.
After listening to Ji Changqian's story, Xue Baichi also looked stunned and surprised. She originally thought that Ji Changqian might have died due to other matters, but she didn't expect that he died quietly in the palace!
And there was no news about it.
Even if what Ji Changsheng said is true, that means that since the past few days, dozens of the prince's children have also died in the palace.
You know, that is not a prison, but an upright palace!
She couldn't help but have an extremely terrifying thought.
What on earth is Ji Wenhao doing?
That is his biological blood!
"Mother, what should we do now? Do you want me to seek refuge with my ancestor?" Ji Changsheng asked quickly.
In fact, he was also suspicious of the hidden secrets. Obviously, this had something to do with his father, and now that his eldest brother Ji Changqian was dead, if there was really any conspiracy.
Maybe it will be his turn next.
After all, Ji Changzhi is currently the prince and heirloom. Even if there is danger, he will not come to him.
The news hasn't spread yet, so it's the best time for him to escape.
"The ancestor's place"
There was a trace of hesitation on Xue Baiji's face. Ever since that showdown with her ancestor, her relationship with the Xue family had dropped to a freezing point. Although she didn't break out, she also knew that her ancestor most likely hated him.
What's more, if the emperor really had any conspiracy to kill his son, Patriarch Xue alone would obviously not be enough to protect Ji Changsheng.
"Mother, is there something wrong?"
Seeing his mother's bad expression, Ji Changsheng couldn't help but ask.
"The ancestor is also in the capital. If Ji Wenhao really wants to do something, you will be waiting for death if you stay here. Now, you should leave the capital."
"Leave the capital? Mother, is this too dangerous? Besides, even if I leave here, where can I go?" Ji Changsheng frowned.
At present, there is a rebellion in the south. With Jiang Che's previous victory, it can be predicted that it will not be long before the three states in the southern region are captured and the battle line is pushed to the border of Zhongzhou, although he had some relations with Jiang Che before and reconciled.
But now the opponent is a rebel. If he runs south, it will obviously be a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
The north is also unsettled. Now the Central Plains is in chaos. Soldiers and horses have begun to gather in the northern barbarian grasslands. Several battles have been fought on the border. The king of the North, Feng Yujiang, asks the court for reinforcements almost every day.
If you go there and encounter something bad, you will die.
The east and west sides are also undesirable. Except for Buddhism, there are turmoils and rebellions everywhere. Buddhism is a supporter of the second brother Ji Changzhi. If he goes to the west, he may also die.
What's more, the father has taken control of the entire intelligence network of the Black Court and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He may be discovered as soon as he leaves the capital. At that time, he will die even faster.
"Go to the south and find Jiang Che!"
Xue Bai'e stared at Ji Changsheng and said word by word.
"Find him? Am I not looking for death?"
Ji Changsheng asked with a look of astonishment, not understanding why his mother suddenly said so.
Xue Bai'e sighed lightly and whispered:
"Now that things have come to this, my mother will not hide it from you. In fact, my mother has given herself to Jiang Che. In fact, he is still your second father. When he made a big fuss in the capital before, my mother helped him a lot.
He promised to protect you and me."
"What? Second father?!!!"
Ji Changsheng was like being struck by lightning out of thin air, with a look of confusion and shock on his face. He couldn't imagine that such words were spoken by his mother, who was always dignified.
It simply broke his inherent cognition.
That bastard Jiang Che actually slept with his mother and entered his hometown!!!
At this moment, Ji Changsheng was stunned.
And Xue Bai'e did not defend herself, but just looked at Ji Changsheng quietly. If possible, she certainly did not want to say such things, but now there was no other way.
"Mother, did Jiang Che, that bastard, force you?!" Ji Changsheng was furious, and he seemed to have murderous intentions.
Anyone who was insulted like this would not tolerate it.
Xue Bai'e shook her head:
"No one forced me. It was my mother's own will. He and I are in love with each other and have a mutual understanding. Otherwise, when he made a big fuss in the capital before, my mother would not have risked her life to help him.
Moreover, Xue Laozu also knew about this."
Ji Changsheng's mouth twitched wildly.
In love with each other?
In love with each other?
If this was said by a young girl, he would not be surprised, but the problem is that his mother is the queen, the mother of a country, how can she say such words with such calmness?
Where does this put his father?
"Sheng'er, this matter. Mother. Anyway, if you want to survive now, you have to go to the south to find Jiang Che. Don't worry, mother will not harm you." Xue Bai'er advised hesitantly.
Ji Changsheng pushed away the hand of his mother on his face and asked blankly:
"In other words, now that the Great Zhou has not been destroyed, you and the Xue family have already surrendered? This news, my child, is really hard to accept for a while."
The mother of a country surrendered first and devoted herself to the rebel king. This is a story that would not even be written in a storybook, but now it is alive and well in front of him.
He really couldn't accept it for a while. (End of this chapter)
