Concubine Jinghua

Chapter 114
Li Jianyang knew that Ximenxue had always been calm. If there were no important matters, he would never bother him at this time.

"Go and open the door, there may be something wrong." Ji Chenxi said softly.

Li Jianyang nodded, turned around and opened the door.

"Jian Yang, something serious has happened." Ximen Han's face was solemn like never before, which made Li Jian's sword eyebrows tightly knit together.

"Is it those jewels?" Ji Chenxi came to Li Jianyang, and a gleam flashed in his charming peach eyes.

"That's right, it's these jewels. Now the people from the Prince's Mansion have surrounded Li's Mansion, and they want to search Li's Mansion."

"Surrounded Li's Mansion?" Ji Chenxi was taken aback. When the jewelry was transported back, Ji Chenxi had an ominous premonition, but what she didn't expect was that things would happen so quickly.

"Have those jewels been placed? After all, this belongs to the previous dynasty. Once the emperor finds out, it's not good to bet on those who have ulterior motives?"

Ji Chenxi couldn't help looking at Li Jianyang worriedly.

The cold pool where Li Jianyang narrowed his eyes slightly shone with a cold light as fast as lightning.

"Stay in the room, I'll go and have a look, and I'll be back in a while."

Seeing Li Jianyang's leaving back, Ji Chenxi's anxiety became more and more intense. She hurriedly called Yan'er and asked her to go to the front hall to inquire about the news. If there was any disturbance, she would come back and report to her.

Li Jianyang, who came to the front hall, saw people from the Prince's Mansion standing on both sides of the gate, while Ji Lichen sat on the main seat with an arrogant face.

"Ji Lichen, what are you doing?"

Li Jianyang shouted in a cold voice, with a bloodthirsty taste in his evil voice, and a cruel and cruel aura exuded from his whole body.

"Under the order of the emperor, search Li's mansion, and find out the belongings of the former general." Ji Lichen came to Li Jianyang's side, with obvious gloating in his tone.

"Li Jianyang, I didn't expect you to be so courageous. You dared to put the jewels left by the former general in the mansion without permission. Are you planning to use these jewels to recruit troops and betray your father?"

Li Jianyang's complexion changed instantly, and his eyes were full of coldness.

"Ji Lichen, even if you are the prince, you can't just wrong me, Li Jianyang. You should know that even if you are the prince, as long as you offend me, I will not let you go easily."

Li Jianyang swished out the soft sword at his waist, and the tip of the sword, glowing with cold light, ruthlessly touched Ji Lichen's throat.

"Presumptuous, put down the soft sword." Several guards nearby, seeing Li Jianyang's actions, also quickly drew out their weapons.

"Ha..." Ji Lichen suddenly burst into a smirk, and waved his hands to the guards behind him.

Several guards took a big step back knowingly, but they still stared at Li Jianyang with bright eyes.

"Li Jianyang, the most stupid thing about you is that you have offended women. Although they are powerless, they can still capsize you in the gutter."

Ji Lichen's words made Ximen Han secretly scream, could it be... Could it be that all of this is caused by a woman behind the scenes?
"Come here, bring Li Zhou's mother and daughter in."

Under Ji Lichen's order, Li Zhou's, Li Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter were brought into the front hall by the guards.

Seeing the smug smile on Li Zhou's face, Li Jianyang could be sure that everything was related to her.

"Li Xiaoxiao, tell the prince, where are those jewels?" Li Xiaoxiao bowed to Ji Lichen with a charming face.

"If you go back to the prince, those jewels have always been in the warehouse in the backyard of the mansion."

"Li Xiaoxiao, are you crazy?" Ximen couldn't help feeling cold, and rushed directly in front of Li Xiaoxiao. If it wasn't because of Li Jianyang, he would have twisted Li Xiaoxiao's neck with both hands.

"That's right, I'm crazy, but I was also driven crazy by him. I'm not willing to be his sister, but now he not only makes me unable to be a younger sister, but also wants to marry me out of Li's mansion. Li's mansion is mine. , I won't leave."

Li Xiaoxiao shouted loudly at Li Jianyang, those charming eyes were full of hatred and sorrow.

From the beginning to the end, Li Jianyang's handsome face did not show any fluctuations, and he still stood there calmly.

"Li Jianyang, you should know that once the crown prince finds out these jewels, you will only die. Even if your mother is a noble concubine, it will not be able to prevent your fate."

Li Jianyang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

"My young master can ask your people to search, but if the jewels are not found, how will the crown prince explain to me?"

Li Jianyang's confident expression made Ji Lichen hesitate. He had dealt with Li Jianyang too many times, and he deeply understood that Li Jianyang was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface, and the forces behind him were absolutely beyond his imagination.

However, even though his own people secretly investigated, they still found nothing. What made Ji Lichen even more angry was that the people he sent out were often thrown directly outside his bedroom within less than three days. The unpredictability made him feel apprehensive all the time.

"What if the crown prince finds it?" Ji Lichen firmly believed that Li Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter did not have the guts to deceive herself.

"If the prince finds it, all these jewels will belong to the prince."

Ji Lichen nodded, and waved towards the hands behind him.A large number of guards went directly to the backyard of the Li Mansion.

"Jianyang, do you really want him to search like this?" Ximenhan came to Li Jianyang's side, and couldn't help but said worriedly, if he remembered correctly, those jewels were in that warehouse.

On Li Jianyang's handsome face, there was a cunning smile like a fox. He had already made arrangements for the jewelry matter. If he hadn't done it carefully, how could he let Ji Lichen's people run rampant in his mansion.

After about a stick of incense, Ji Lichen's subordinates returned to him one after another. From the disappointed expressions on their faces, Li Jianyang could guess that things were as he had guessed.

"What? No? Are you sure?"

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Ji Lichen stood up from his chair, the expression of gloating on his face disappeared instantly without a trace.

"Back to the prince, there is nothing in the warehouse except for some worn-out furniture."

Hearing these words from his subordinates, Ji Lichen shot fiercely at Li Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter with a pair of sharp black pools.

"How dare you deceive the prince."

Ji Lichen rushed directly in front of Li Xiaoxiao, raised his right foot, and kicked her hard in the stomach.

"Ah..." Li Xiaoxiao, who had always lived in the Li residence and had never been wronged in the slightest, was kicked directly and passed out in pain.

"Take their mother and daughter back to the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince will personally tell them what will happen to him if he cheats on the Prince."

"Yang'er, save mother quickly."

Li Zhou's whole body trembled with fright, and pinned all her hopes on Li Jianyang, but Li Jianyang, who had already been disappointed in them, ignored them.

"Prince, you have already sent someone to search the place you should search in the Li Mansion. I wonder if you have found the jewels you mentioned?"

Li Jianyang leaned on the chair, picked up the teacup gracefully, and looked at Ji Lichen indifferently, his aura without anger made Ji Lichen afraid.

"Jianyang, this should be a misunderstanding. The prince immediately took these people away." Ji Lichen's face no longer had the arrogance just now, but was a little uneasy.

Even the high-ranking prince, for Ji Lichen, there will be people who are afraid, and among these people are his father and Li Jianyang.

"Come here."

Li Jianyang gave an order and kept guarding outside. The "Guardian" who had already prepared well rushed into the front hall quickly.

"Master, what are your orders?" The uniform password and the gleam in his eyes made Ji Lichen instantly sure that these people were definitely not simple nurses.

"Let me take down those who tried to assassinate the prince."

Li Jianyang pointed to the guards brought by Ji Lichen. Without any hesitation, the guards pulled out the weapons at their waists and stabbed directly at the guards.

"Li Jianyang, you... what are you doing? They belong to the prince."

Seeing his bodyguards entangled with Li Jianyang's subordinates, and taking less than the slightest advantage, and several of them were knocked to the ground by these guards, Ji Lichen looked gloomy and questioned Li Jianyang in a cold voice.

Li Jianyang smiled slightly, and those bright and dark pupils released an evil light.

"I only know that they don't have any proof of belonging to the palace. I only know that they are assassins who broke into Li's mansion. In order to protect the prince, I can only let my men do their best to take them down."

Li Jianyang acted as if he was sincerely protecting Ji Lichen, and this behavior made Ji Lichen even more furious.

"Li Jianyang, don't bully others too much, the crown prince has tolerated you long enough." After saying this, Ji Lichen drew out the soft sword at his waist, and stabbed mercilessly at Li Jianyang's body.

Li Jianyang snorted coldly, his body was like a flexible snake, and he avoided Ji Lichen's sharp move in an instant.

"Ji Lichen, you will never be my young master's match." Li Jianyang took the soft sword thrown by Ximen Han, and the beautiful sword flowers danced in the air, and the two soft swords collided with each other, sending out dazzling sparks.

"Damn."

Ji Lichen only felt numbness in the tiger's mouth. He forced himself to hold the soft sword in his hand, but he couldn't use his strength, and the soft sword fell directly to the ground.

Li Jianyang's two deep hawk eyes, like ice pools, flashed a look of disdain.

"My young master wants to fight quickly." Hearing Li Jianyang's order, these 'guardians' even accelerated their speed. In less than half a stick of incense, all the guards brought by Ji Lichen were taken by them. Catch it, and kneel on the ground in embarrassment.

"The emperor is here, the imperial concubine is here."

The father-in-law's sharp voice suddenly came from outside, which made Li Jianyang's sword-like eyebrows furrow more and more tightly.

"Father, you are finally here."

Seeing the emperor, a smug look flashed across Ji Lichen's eyes.

With the help of his father-in-law, the emperor and Xiao Shen'er walked into the front hall, and they couldn't help being shocked when they saw the mess in the front hall.

"What's going on? Why are they...they kneeling on the ground?"

The emperor recognized several guards, but he looked puzzled when they were kneeling on the ground.

"Father, it's..." Before Ji Lichen finished speaking, Ximenhan, who received Li Jianyang's hint, directly touched his acupuncture points.All of this was done in a very concealed manner, and no one discovered it.

"Going back to the emperor, these people broke into Li's mansion suddenly, and the grass people saw them coming towards the prince. For the safety of the prince, the grass people had to order the guards to stop them, but the grass people didn't expect that these people were just wine bags and rice bags. After ten tricks, all of them were taken down by these guards, since the emperor has come, let the emperor deal with it."

Li Jianyang said it very easily, even in the face of the emperor, he was still neither humble nor overbearing, exuding the innate aura of a king all over his body.

"You mean these nursing homes, take them all down?"

The emperor couldn't believe that the masters in the palace were captured in less than ten moves, which made the emperor look at these guards with admiration.

"That's right, that's what the emperor saw."

Li Jianyang's expression was calm, showing no emotion.

"Aren't you still up? You didn't wear the badge of Ouchi's bodyguard when you went out to protect the prince, which caused a misunderstanding today. When you go back, someone will punish you."

The emperor said coldly, although he already knew the truth of the matter, but these guards were Ji Lichen's subordinates after all, once a severe punishment was imposed, Chen'er would definitely lose face, so the emperor had no choice but to reprimand him in a cold voice.

Seeing the emperor intending to calm down, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Jianyang's mouth.

Li Jianyang, don't have any illusions, even if you have a blood relationship with him, in his heart, there is only Ji Lichen, a good-for-nothing son.

"Yang'er, why don't you order your servants to pour tea for your father?"

Xiao Shen'er said softly, breaking the weird atmosphere in the air.

"Have some tea."
