Chapter 334: Husband and wife team up to break the situation
Ji Chuhe knew that he couldn't escape today.
"Okay, I'll be there right away. Please go ahead, Madam."
"Madam, please don't delay too long." The nanny reminded again.
"I see."
As soon as the nanny left, Xiao Yanan's anger was hard to contain!
"It's just too much!"
"Prince, let me make it short. I guess that the wolves we encountered today were not wild animals from the hunting grounds, but were artificially raised. These wolves are likely to be controlled by humans."
"These wolves were arranged by the ***!" Xiao Yan'an said confidently, "And they are coming for Madam!"
Ji Chuhe shook her head, "It may not be aimed at me. However, *** took the trouble to set up this trap, she must have her own purpose. Since the prince has seen through it, then everyone involved today is in this trap set by ***."
After Ji Chuhe finished speaking, he looked at Liao Yunfei who was still unconscious.
Xiao Yan'an also followed her gaze.
"Prince, Liao Yunfei's appearance today is really strange. Even though she was injured so badly to save you, I still can't trust her."
"Ma'am, don't worry, I understand what you mean. In fact, I have my doubts too."
"If Liao Yunfei is also part of the conspiracy, then we should wait and see what happens. Liao Yunfei's life or death is still unknown. Prince, please send Liao Yunfei back to the mansion and instruct someone to take good care of her."
"Ma'am, I can't leave you here alone!"
"My Lord, listen to me. They don't want my life. I still have the jade pendant given to me by my father. They won't hurt my life easily at the moment."
"But……"
"Prince, I know you are worried about me. Don't worry, I will be fine." Ji Chuhe said again.
"Okay." Xiao Yan'an finally nodded.
"After sending Liao Yunfei back, you don't need to come back to the hunting grounds. Just stay at the mansion. Don't let anyone see your suspicion of Liao Yunfei."
"Ah."
Ji Chuhe turned and left.
Xiao Yan'an looked at Ji Chuhe's departing back, his clenched fists trembling.
No matter what happens, he will do everything he can to protect Ji Chuhe!
……
When Ji Chuhe returned to the banquet hall, he heard *** talking to the Queen Mother about what had just happened.
It’s just that what came out of ***’s mouth was too different from what actually happened.
"Mother, this time it was all thanks to the prince's rescue. I will report to the emperor later and reward him well."
"And that concubine is also a person with feelings and intentions. When she saw the prince being besieged by wolves, she rushed forward without hesitation. She was torn to pieces by the wolves and her life is in danger now."
"In comparison, the Crown Prince's wife only cared about escaping for her own life and deliberately led the wolves to this place. Her intentions are simply sinister!"
"Is this true?" the Queen Mother asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of murdering you!" Ji Chuhe immediately stepped forward and knelt down.
Her voice was strong and powerful, without a trace of guilt.
"However, what happened today was indeed someone trying to murder me!" Ji Chuhe changed the subject.
*** chuckled.
"Ji Chuhe, who do you think is trying to murder me?"
"The situation was so dangerous just now, and none of ***'s guards were around. We should first hold ***'s guards accountable! Moreover, these wolves have shiny fur and strong bodies, and they look like someone has carefully raised them! I don't know who wants to murder ***, but I can always find out who is behind it!"
***There are some differences.
I didn’t expect that Ji Chuhe could actually recognize that those wolves were artificially raised.
"Madam Crown Prince, you are really good at making excuses. The royal hunting grounds are different from the wild animals in the wild mountains. In order to ensure the variety and quantity of prey, some extinct beasts will be caught from other places, and some food will be fed from time to time to make the prey stronger. You have never participated in the autumn hunting before, so you don't understand these things. I won't bother with you."
*** acted magnanimously, evading the main point and not saying a word about why her guard was not around at the time.
"Perhaps the situation was too urgent at the time and some misunderstanding occurred. I believe that the Crown Prince's wife would never bring danger to you." The Queen came out to smooth things over.
"I don't have any evidence, so I won't engage in meaningless arguments." *** decided to quit while he was ahead.
Ji Chuhe really felt like he had punched cotton.
*** is not only a madman, but also a very smart madman!
"Your Majesty the Queen, this is the first time the Crown Prince's wife participated in a hunt, which led to some misunderstandings. She was also concerned about her husband's safety." The Queen continued to ease the atmosphere.
"The royal hunting grounds are heavily guarded, and the location where the Queen and the Crown Prince's wife went is relatively safe, so it's normal for the guards to be a little lax. Who could have thought that a pack of wolves would rush out from that location? In my opinion, everything that happened today was just a coincidence."
The Queen Mother nodded, "The Queen's analysis makes sense."
The excuse given by the Queen was just right, and the Queen Mother did not pursue the matter further.
In fact, it cannot be pursued.
*** is just taking advantage of the situation. Her plan has been completed, and she wants to accuse Ji Chuhe of another crime and give him a good beating.
Ji Chuhe was smart. After hearing what she said, the authorities couldn't accuse her of any crime.
"Empress Dowager, there is another important matter today, which is to select beauties for the Emperor to fill his harem. The selected beauties are all talented and beautiful. Let them come out and show their talents first. I have already sent someone to invite the Emperor." The Queen quickly changed the subject.
Ji Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter had ended in such a muddled way.
However, the King and the Queen Mother would never let her go.
This is just the beginning.
The ladies of the Duke's Mansion also breathed a sigh of relief. However, they were not completely relaxed.
The trees really want to be quiet but the wind keeps going.
From now on, He'er's life will be even more difficult.
"Then let the beauties get ready and perform well when the emperor comes. I and the queen will just be doing a preliminary selection. Whether they can gain the emperor's favor depends on their own performance." The queen dowager said softly.
"Yes." The queen responded immediately.
Not long after, a message was sounded.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted the emperor.
"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
"Mother." The emperor also saluted the empress dowager.
After the ceremony, everyone took their seats.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are all ready. I will arrange for them to perform right away."
"Yes." The emperor nodded.
He has already looked at the list. If these beauties are not too unpleasant to his eyes, they should all be able to stay today.
*** looked in the direction of Ji Chuhe and smiled.
Ji Chuhe felt a pair of eyes staring at him, so he turned around and met ***'s eyes.
*** asked Liao Yunfei to risk her life to save Xiao Yanan, just to help Liao Yunfei get Xiao Yanan's favor as soon as possible.
In today’s talent show, she also prepared a big gift for Ji Chuhe!
