The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 139 The King Will Protect You

"I actually saw the concubine change into another appearance, devouring the energy of the two girls beside her and flying out of the palace!" When Yu Meiren described it, her expression seemed to be realistic and terrified, and it was difficult to see the traces of her performance.

But Li Huai hated this even more. He strode forward and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Father, my son doesn't believe this kind of nonsense!"

"My lord, what the charming woman said is absolutely true. You haven't returned to the mansion these days, so you don't know that after the wangfei took action against her two maids, she never came back..."

"Shut up!" Li Huai reprimanded in front of everyone: "This king's concubine is a human or a demon, does this king still need you to talk about it?"

After all, Yu Meiren still had feelings for Li Huai, and when he saw him rebutting her in front of the court, she was taken aback, bowed her head and cried.

Nalan didn't wait for the emperor's answer, so she came over, pretending to be a mother to the world, and said very caringly: "Huai'er, I heard that this jade charming person once saved your life, and she stayed in the palace. For so many years, she has been diligent and conscientious, and has never done anything that He Yue did, I believe she did all this for your own good!"

"What does the empress mean, is it possible that the princess will do something bad to my son?"

In the past, Li Huai would never refute if the empress wanted to accuse him of something in front of the emperor, but today, there is obviously an exception.

The emperor's thick brows tightened, and he intentionally reminded: "Huai'er, don't talk like that to your queen mother."

Li Huai stood up with his head buried in restraint, his hands were already in the embroidery of his robe, and he clenched slightly.

At this time, the empress still had to pretend to say to the emperor: "Your majesty, the concubine understands Huai'er's worry about the concubine. If it were someone else who identified the concubine in this way, I believe the emperor would also stand by the concubine. After all, the concubine is The emperor's first wife!"

Li Huai didn't look at her, this queen was cunning and eloquent, he had seen her before in his lifetime.

At this time, to understand him, it is just to get the approval of the emperor!
Sure enough, Nalan immediately went on to say: "However, the authorities are bewildered. Ever since the marriage was arranged, Huai'er has had many accidents. First, the other courtyard was haunted, the queen concubine disappeared, the mansion of General Ji was washed bloody, and then Luxi Palace appeared again. The wooden man curse incident, among these strange incidents, which one is not related to the princess? And, where is the princess now?"

The emperor looked at Li Huai, and asked worriedly: "Huai'er, didn't the princess go hunting with you? What happened to you these few days and disappeared."

Li Huai's expression was serious, and he replied truthfully: "Returning to Father, Jin Hua did not go hunting with the son to the west mountain because of his unwell body, and the son disappeared for the past few days because he lost his way in the mountains..."

Before he finished speaking, Nalan took over and said, "Huai'er, why did I hear that someone kidnapped you from the camp? If you lost your way, your father has sent so many people here these days I searched on the west mountain and found nothing, how could I not find you?"

Li Huai deliberately concealed the real situation that day, and also considering that the queen would make things difficult for him from here, he replied without changing his face: "On the day my son left the camp, it was pouring rain, and there was lightning, which injured several people in the camp. Confused, there was indeed a mysterious person appearing on the western mountain at that time, and Erchen was chasing the mysterious person, so he lost his way in the mountain. Later, he spent two days in a cave in the mountain, and today he found the way down the mountain. Immediately after returning to Beijing, enter the palace!"

The emperor nodded reassuringly and said, "It's good that the emperor comes back safe and sound!"

The queen saw that the emperor intended to suppress the situation, so naturally she refused to let go of this opportunity. "Your Majesty, it is of course good that Huai'er came back safely, but now there is a more serious problem. The two maidservants serving the princess in the palace turned into shells that lost their spirits overnight, but the princess is nowhere to be found... No, the concubine is obviously no longer alive, that is just a monster under the guise of Jin Hua's skin!"

"The queen mother, based on the words of a dancer from the palace, concluded that the son's wife is a monster, which is obviously too hasty and unconvincing."

The queen said hypocritically: "Naturally, whether the current princess is a demon or not, you can't just rely on other people's opinions, you have to find the princess to judge. Huai'er must be very tired after eating and sleeping on the mountain these days, why don't you go down and rest for a while!"

Li Huai didn't want to continue listening to what they said, so he bowed respectfully and retired!
On the other side, Xi Lan, who didn't know that she had fallen into a crisis, immediately returned to Ji's house.

She has been there for two days, and it is absolutely impossible for no one to know about the palace.She would not be so stupid as to go back to the palace directly, she needed the Ji family's help to confuse this matter.

She climbed over the wall from the back door of the Ji Mansion, but just as she landed, countless knives were placed on her neck.

It's the guard of Jifu!

It's just that during the day, there were so many guards, as if they had expected her to appear a long time ago.

It seems that something happened in the past two days.

At this time, a tall and straight figure hurriedly came out from behind the guards. It was Ji Jinjiang. He gestured to order everyone to put away their weapons, and asked her sternly, "Why did you show up now?"

"What happened?"

"You still have the face to ask me what happened?" Ji Jinjiang looked very angry, grabbed her hand, and ran to the courtyard behind.

She was dragged across a yard, and when she saw that there was no one around, she shook off the hand that was pulling her.

"What the hell happened?"

Ji Jinjiang echoed and answered her in a low voice: "Your recklessness killed two girls, and the queen is trying to get rid of you because of this!"

Her heart tightened, but she didn't panic.

"Did something happen to Qinglian and Qianmo?" Hearing that she killed two girls, and seeing Ji Jinjiang so angry, she immediately thought of that.

"What did you do to them?" Ji's mansion received the news the day before, but at that time, everyone was busy looking for Li Huai, and no one seriously asked about it.

Xi Lan's heart tightened when she heard this question, so Qinglian and Qianmo really had an accident!
"I want to leave the palace, and I don't want them to bother me, so I gave them some drugs before leaving. The dose is not large, and they will wake up soon!" After answering, she asked nervously, "What's wrong with them?"

Ji Jinjiang's expression was solemn, he had already expected this to be strange.

"What happened to them, I don't know. I only heard that they lost consciousness and still have a breath. Now this matter has nothing to do with you. You go and change your clothes now..."

When the other party said this, there was hesitation in his eyes, and Xi Lan was still worried about other things.

"Yes, I must change immediately, and then go back and see what happened to them!"

Ji Jinjiang came up again annoyed, and raised his voice: "You are still worried about them until now, it doesn't matter whether they live or die, what matters is how you protect yourself!"

Xi Lan was shocked, as the daughter of the Ji family, the person in front of her was actually asking her to protect herself.

"What do you mean I have nothing to do with this matter? They say I killed two maids?" If this is the case, she is a princess after all, what did she really do to two lowly maidservants? There is no need for the queen to care about it, so this matter will be more complicated.

"You go and change your clothes first!" Ji Jinjiang said forcefully, and sent her back to the wing where she lived before, and changed into a sky blue long skirt embroidered with breasts.

During this process, she made a divination for herself, and the shifting of the statue was a sign of great misfortune.

This time, I'm afraid it's more ominous than good!

But in the hexagram, it is not inevitable, there is a turning point, she did not panic, she came out of the wing calmly, Ji Jinjiang was guarding outside, seeing her coming out, he walked over and whispered: "Just now the Habayashi guards from the palace came, I blocked you from the courtyard, I will help you prove that you have been in the mansion these few days!"

She asked simply and directly, "Just tell me, what crime did they charge me with?"

Ji Jinjiang was stunned for a moment, and replied in a deep voice: "They say you are a demon!"

Xi Lan listened and smiled coldly.

"It's ridiculous!"

After taunting here, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"So, is your Ji family going to be neutral for a while, and wait for me to fend for myself?"

The other party denied it immediately: "I found you, how could I not help you?"

She still sneered, and approached him and said, "But I am not the real Ji Jinhua after all. If they find out that I am a fake, your Ji family will be guilty of deceiving the emperor. But on the contrary, if it is proved that I am a demon, then you will be punished." It's the demon's fault, your Ji family can find an opportunity to get rid of it, can't you?"

Ji Jinjiang didn't deny it, what she said was indeed what the Ji family was doing.

Even Abbot Zhixian from Bailian Temple was invited to play the Queen's play. Whether he wanted to prove that Xi Lan was a demon or a fake is unknown, but he must have been prepared.

Their Ji family must find a way out at this moment.

To put it bluntly, Xi Lan is just a pawn of the Ji family. This pawn can win them the throne of the princess or even the future queen, and it can also be thrown away when their situation is unfavorable!
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, we will never abandon you. I have already said that we are in the same boat at this moment!"

Xi Lan would not believe such nonsense, but in her eyes, they had already done so!

She said: "I am not afraid that you will abandon me, I am only afraid that you will help the queen to prove that I am a demon!"

Ji Jinjiang was startled, and turned his eyes away from her eyes.

Not long ago, when Ji's mansion got the news, Ji Changqian did say such a thing, if he couldn't guarantee it, he would follow the queen's wishes.

Seeing his silence, Xi Lan's blood surged even more, and she actually grabbed his wrist with an arm half thinner than Ji Jinjiang's, and asked, "Tell me, you haven't reached that step yet?"

This was actually not Ji Jinjiang's original intention, but he would not disobey his father's orders.

She angrily shook off the other party's hand, and said in a deep voice: "As long as your Ji family doesn't come out to make trouble at this time, I can save the day. I want you to help me this time!"

She couldn't convince Ji Changqian, but for Ji Jinjiang, she wanted to give it a try.

Ji Jinjiang also couldn't bear it, he said: "The Habayashi guards will take you away, you are so smart, you can definitely find a way to clear your innocence!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Jinjiang was about to take her out of the courtyard.

The people of Habayashi Wei are still waiting outside.

During this process, Xi Lan's mood was still unavoidably ups and downs. The good and bad times of this trip had been predicted in the hexagrams. Now she was thinking about one thing, so she stopped and asked Ji Jinjiang next to her.

"Li Huai... Li Huai also knows, right?"

Ji Jinjiang replied: "According to the news from the people in the palace, he was in the palace at that time."

"Did he... believe it?"

In this world, she doesn't care if anyone believes that she is a demon.

She just wanted to know if that person had a letter.

The other party heard the cautiousness in her tone, and felt compassion.

He replied: "You should know what kind of person Li Huai is. Whether he believes it or not depends on how you look in his eyes!"

Yes, Li Huai is by no means a person who easily listens to other people's slander, he only believes in evidence and his own eyes.

But at this moment, Xi Lan was scared!

Since the queen dared to point the finger at her, she must have prepared everything and waited for her to throw herself into the trap. Would Li Huai not believe it?

It would be great if she was Ning Wanzhu!
In this way, Li Huai will definitely believe her unswervingly!
……

Although the palace sent a chariot to take her into the palace, the chariot was obviously very different from the horse-drawn carriage in the past.

The iron frame was extremely hard, there were no windows, and it was all blocked by a layer of black cloth. When she sat in, the car door was locked, and there was no more light inside.

The journey into the palace also became long and difficult. She was thinking about Li Huai's various reactions when she heard the news.

In front of him, she was inferior after all. She had thought about so many things, but none of them was Li Huai's willingness to believe her...

Finally, the carriage stopped, she didn't know where it was outside, presumably, she had already arrived in the palace.

She heard the sound of soldiers rubbing against each other outside, surely, this is the treatment for demons, right?
The car door finally opened, and she saw Habayashi guard who 'escorted' her outside, who was on guard, and asked her to go down with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, a group of Habayashi guards surrounded her.

It is conceivable that if she does something at this moment, she will be "justified" on the spot, right?

"Get out of the way!" A familiar voice suddenly came from in front of the wall holding him.

She was startled, it was Li Huai.

"Prince Xu, the emperor has a decree..."

Before the voice fell, a person was kicked to the ground.

Then, a handsome figure stepped in quickly, came to her, held her hand and said softly: "Jin Hua, if you feel wronged again, this king will definitely protect you."
