"Go ahead." Xie Qingrong waved her hand, signalling for Ji Rufeng to be straightforward.
Ji Rufeng then cleared his throat and coughed, "Princess Consort Chen actually understands in her heart that my uncle Ji Cangming is your biological father. If Princess Consort Chen is not sure about this, I can write a letter to Shang Zhiqing, which means that Shang Zhiqing definitely knows more than you do."
"However, I do not understand why Princess Consort Chen has always been unwilling to acknowledge him as uncle. I have always felt that Princess Consort Chen is a righteous and loyal person, but why are you so hesitant about this matter?
As he continued to speak, Ji Rufeng unconsciously emphasized on his tone.
Xie Qingrong frowned, a wave of unhappiness rising in her heart, she pursed her lips and said: "What status does Ji gongzi have to tell me this? Cousin? A relative? I grew up in the Xie Clan, and everything about the Xie Clan is familiar to me. I'm familiar with the maids, and I'm familiar with the servants. Even if it's General Xie, he's also my familiar father.
"What's more, Ji Cangming asked you to come as a lobbyist? If he really wants to acknowledge me as his daughter, why didn't he send you to persuade me personally? "
Ji Rufeng laughed, shook his head, and explained: "Princess Consort Chen, I told you from the start that I'm not a lobbyist. I just felt that uncle was a little pitiful, that's why I …" Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly paused, as if he was unwilling to continue.
After a moment of silence, he continued: "I already knew what Princess Consort Chen had said, but Princess Consort Chen really felt that the Xie Clan's servant girl was a servant girl that you were familiar with? This matter, Prince Chen should be more clear about it than me. "
"When Princess Consort Chen jumped into the lake to commit suicide, it was because she was bullied by the servant girls that she chose to do that. But Princess Consort Chen definitely doesn't know one thing, she did not commit suicide, and was pushed into the lake by someone. "
Hearing that, Xie Qingrong's sharp gaze directly shot towards Ji Rufeng. Frowning, she coldly said: "What do you mean by that?"
Xuanyuan Chen knew too?
Why had she never told him before?
Xie Qingrong turned her doubtful gaze from Ji Rufeng to Xuanyuan Chen, and stared at him for a long while, before lowering his eyes.
"Princess Consort Chen has gone from a weak and incompetent woman, to a powerless one, filled with the scent of slaughter and blood. Do you really think that no one will be able to detect her?" Ji Rufeng asked indifferently, but the meaning in his words was obvious.
At this moment, Xie Qingrong already had a murderous heart. With a flip of her wrist, her finger pressed onto the mechanism on the sleeve arrow. As long as Ji Rufeng said another word, she would press the mechanism.
Ji Rufeng suddenly stood up and approached Xie Qingrong, forcing him to ask: "Does Princess Consort Chen really not know of all this, or does she pretend to not know of all this?"
The three thin swords on top of the sleeve arrow had already extended out, a cold light flashed past the sword tip, and in the next moment, the sword tip had already pierced Ji Rufeng's throat.
However, Ji Rufeng's two fingers were firmly holding onto Xie Qingrong's wrist, causing her hand to be unable to move even an inch forward. Xie Qingrong was a little shocked in the bottom of her heart. After all, to be able to receive one of her moves in such a short period of time, there was practically no one, Xuanyuan Chen was one, and Ji Rufeng was another.
He pursed his lips, and the killing intent in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Ji Rufeng was a nuisance that had to be removed.
"What, Princess Consort Chen wants to kill us to keep our mouths shut?" Ji Rufeng said coldly, as if he was not afraid of Xie Qingrong's actions, as if he had a plan in mind.
"Rather than killing me and silencing the Princess Consort Chen, it would be better for me to think about how to end up like this." Ji Rufeng continued to speak coldly but his fingers slightly exerted force, pulling Ji Rufeng's wrist far away from his neck.
He returned to his seat and calmly continued drinking.
He had already given Xie Qingrong an important reminder just now, so whether Xie Qingrong could comprehend it or not depended on her own perception. If she could not understand it in the end, then she could not blame him.
Although Xuanyuan Chen saw how Ji Rufeng kept pressing down on him, and he was anxious in his heart, he still remained unmoved. This was because he could understand the concern and kind reminder Ji Rufeng had given him under his sarcastic words.
Therefore, he did not stop them.
Xie Qingrong repeatedly chewed on Ji Rufeng's words. Something flashed past her mind, and quickly caught it, but it was just a flash of inspiration, unable to be captured.
After coming back to his senses, Xie Qingrong suddenly realized something. He realised that he had been stunned, and actually did such an unreasonable thing, as if his entire IQ had been eaten by a dog.
"I'm sorry about what happened just now." Xie Qingrong apologized to Ji Rufeng.
"However, what I said to Princess Consort Chen just now was not empty talk. After Princess Consort Chen calms down, there's no harm in thinking about it. Perhaps I can reach a different conclusion." Ji Rufeng said indifferently.
He once again emphasized the words he had hinted at before. Ji Rufeng did all this, he thought that he was the one who should be merciful and benevolent, if this was still unavoidable in the future, he had already chosen the best method, he couldn't blame him for it.
Before leaving, Ji Rufeng's hand that was about to push open the door to the private room suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, and said: "Although the Ye Family was almost annihilated due to the Prince Chen's hard work, the Armored Snakes still survived. After all, the Ye family was once a family of a hundred years. If they want to completely topple the Ye family, then they need a very legitimate reason to make use of the royal family's power. "
"The reason why Chu Country is so prosperous, is not only because of Gongsun Heng's efforts alone. The main reason is because Chu Country is not controlled by an aristocratic family. If the Heavenly Saints want to prosper, then there can't be a single phenomenon. "
"It's almost the end of the year. It's time for Prince Chen and Princess Consort Chen to prepare to return to the capital, so be careful on the way back to the capital. I'll be waiting for you guys in Mo Bei, hopefully you guys won't be lacking arms or legs by then. "
After saying that, Ji Rufeng decisively pushed open the door to the private room and left.
Xie Qingrong watched as Ji Rufeng's back gradually disappeared, and the expression in her eyes darkened. Her fingers unconsciously felt around the side of her wine cup, looking at it now, she realized that Ji Rufeng seemed to be a friend and not an enemy. However, this person has some contradictions. He first used a method to provoke me, but after that, he became indifferent. "
He had never thought that he would be goaded into this. Even now, he still found it hard to believe.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen nodded, taking a small sip of the wine, he said: "There are so many hints that he left behind for us, it's a little interesting."
"Ye Family?" Xuanyuan Chen lowered his eyes and muttered these two words. After a long period of silence, he sneered.
It seemed like the journey back wasn't going to be peaceful.
"A Rong, we need to re-plan the way back." Xuanyuan Chen said.
Xie Qingrong asked: "The Ye Family can't wait to take action?"
"Listening to what Ji Rufeng said, it is indeed true." Xuanyuan Chen said softly, "We need to prepare well, we must not let the Ye Family succeed, but we must also let the Ye Family succeed."
