Chapter 231
Looking up, the trading market looks like an ordinary market selling some antiques, but it is actually a black market with many types of businesses, among which there are like clouds of killers, as long as they have money, they will do anything without leaving a trace.

Entering the black market, you can see many people of all kinds hawking. It may seem like a normal business stall, but in fact, these hawkers are hiding their true identities.

Because of this, the imperial court has never had any evidence that it can stop this black market in one fell swoop.

Holding the money bag in both hands, Ji Mingzhu came to a closed shop that was not doing business. She knocked on the door and said, "Boss, the door is open for business."

In less than a moment, the closed wooden door opened a crack, and a rough and powerful voice came from inside asking, "What do you want?"

"For the life of a rabbit."

This is a shop dedicated to murdering people. In order to avoid unnecessary market confusion, people who come here must receive a code to open the door to do business before they can enter.

Then the wooden door opened, and Ji Mingzhu walked in.

The docking man brought her in front of the shopkeeper, "Boss, it's time for business."

The shopkeeper turned around and asked Ji Mingzhu, "How much money? How many lives will it cost?"

Ji Mingzhu had already left a few gold bars for herself in advance, she put all the remaining money bags on the table, and said simply and neatly, "This is all, one person."

The shopkeeper picked up the purse and looked at it, then at Ji Mingzhu, "Are you sure there's only one person?"

"That's right, just one person. The money is enough for you to arrange a few more people to kill this person for me, right?"

The shopkeeper once again received an affirmative answer from Ji Mingzhu, and nodded, "It's fine, just leave the person's information."

Then Ji Mingzhu picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the information about Ji Jiaoyue, handed it to the shopkeeper along with the portrait and left the shop.

As long as she thinks that Ji Jiaoyue will soon be a cold corpse, Ji Mingzhu will be in a good mood, and she will leave the trading market in a happy mood.

But there was another man who came to the market with her, and that man was Huo Dao.

Chu Xun asked Huo Dao to observe secretly all the way in order to cause trouble when Prince Dongqin left Beijing, but unexpectedly discovered Ji Mingzhu's malicious whereabouts by accident.

Huo Dao looked at the closed shop, confused, and didn't know what Ji Mingzhu said when he went in.

A trace of unease welled up in his heart, he didn't dare to waste time, turned around and immediately rushed back to report the matter to Chu Xun.

Ji Jiaoyue, who didn't know that she was about to be murdered, was waiting for Chu Xun to return home at Prince Chen's Mansion. She had the good fortune of not seeing Chu Xun, so she purposely waited in the mansion today to meet Chu Xun.

But it was already evening at this time, and the court meeting had ended early, and there was no sign of Chu Xun yet.

Ji Jiaoyue walked back and forth in the front hall, feeling very uneasy.

Seeing this, the butler was almost blinded, and he hurried forward to persuade, "Princess, please sit down and wait for the prince. You have been walking back and forth for almost an hour, and your feet should be tired."

Ji Jiaoyue waved her hand, staring at the door, "I'm fine, I'm not tired."

"Then drink some water."

She took a sip from the water glass and handed it to the butler, frowning and back and forth again, "Butler, go outside and see if the prince is back."

"Well, the old slave will go now."

The housekeeper understood Ji Jiaoyue's uneasiness, and rushed outside to have a look without stopping.

Just halfway there, the housekeeper saw a familiar figure, took a closer look and found that it was Chu Xun who made the princess wait anxiously, and hurried back to tell Ji Jiaoyue.

"Princess, the prince is back."

Hearing that it was Chu Xun's return, Ji Jiaoyue rushed outside to check.

Seeing that Chu Xun was walking in with a tired face, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare meals.

Ji Jiaoyue trotted forward and said, "I'm back."

Chu Xun nodded and didn't say much.

At the dinner table, Chu Xun ate without saying a word. Ji Jiaoyue saw her and asked concerned, "What's the matter? Did the meeting not go well?"

"No."

"What's that for?"

Chu Xun's eyes turned cold at this moment, and he slowly explained to Ji Jiaoyue.

It turned out that Chu Zeyan had been secretly taken back to Dali Temple to be imprisoned today, but who knew that the news had leaked out. As soon as he was locked up, the queen brought the prime minister over to make trouble, and Chu Xun had a dispute with the queen.

"Get out of the way, what's wrong with me wanting to see my son?"

Chu Xun's people blocked the queen at the door, and specifically ordered no one to visit her.

"Empress, I dare not disobey the prince's order." The guard stood in front and said firmly
"You dog slave, you are actually running in the way of the empress, and you don't even know who you are." The prime minister reprimanded loudly and displeased

Obviously, the power did not threaten the guards, and a group of people blocked the door of the dungeon to confront the queen and the prime minister.

At this time Chu Xun came out, saw the queen's angry expression, and quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, you just got out of the confinement, and you ran around, why don't you stop resting in the palace?"

Chu Xun's words hurt the queen deeply, she was obviously really angry, and trembled all over again, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, let your people get out of the way, I want to see my own son."

"Empress, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the second prince is now a felon of the imperial court, did you just see him?"

"Chu Xun, don't think that you can act recklessly just because you are the late emperor's son. Yan'er is still convicted of a crime. Why do you imprison him?"

"Just because this king caught him on the spot when he colluded with foreign races to rebel."

Chu Xun didn't give the queen any face, and he didn't need to give it any more, "I stopped them all, and anyone who slack off a bit will be dealt with by military law."

With a word of leadership, all the soldiers stood in front of the empress with all their strength, but the empress only brought the prime minister, who couldn't stand up to the tall bodies of these guards, so they stood in a stalemate.

In the end, the queen was really at a stalemate and could only leave the place with the prime minister's resentment, and diverted to the emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation to make a big fuss.

The queen once again threatened the emperor to let him see Chu Zeyan by crying, making trouble and hanging himself in front of the emperor. If he couldn't see him today, he would kill him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and even threatened to see him even if he didn't want to be the queen. Chu Zeyan.

The emperor did not expect that the current queen would be such a shrew, and he was very disappointed with her.

Such a commotion made the sick emperor's condition worsen again, and fainted again because of the rush.

The queen who made the emperor dizzy again was willing to give up, and finally turned away without even looking at the emperor.

Chu Xun was worried about the emperor, so he stayed in the palace until the emperor woke up before leaving the palace.

After hearing this, Ji Jiaoyue reprimanded angrily, "Why are you so unreasonable?"

Chu Xun sighed deeply and shook his head.
