Chapter 198 Punishment
God!
In an instant, no one in the entire Kunning Palace dared to breathe.
What is Ji Guozhang talking about? !
He wants to die!
Pei Fan glanced at Ji Xiangli in surprise, his expression ambiguous.
He had a vague feeling that the Ji family was hiding something!
Queen Ji forgot to conceal her emotions for a moment, and stood there in horror, her blood almost freezing.
Father, how could you say such outrageous words!
If this goes on, I'm afraid I won't be able to save the Ji family!
The emperor did not question their responsibility this time, and I was just trying to get it as usual. How could he use this to seek repayment?
Even she knew that this was a big taboo.
Could it be that my father has lost his mind due to anger? !
Ji Bozhou was also shocked by Ji Xiangli's words and stood still.
Didn’t my father teach everyone in the family to be humble and not to be too ostentatious?
When did he become like this?
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly pulled Ji Xiangli from behind, signaling him to stop talking.
Disrespecting the emperor will result in beheading. He can understand that his father is feeling unfair, but this is in front of the emperor, and there are hundreds of lives in the Ji family. How can he be so foolish!
The emperor looked down at Ji Xiangli, a trace of panic flashing in his cold eyes.
He wouldn't say those fatal words, would he?
But he remembered what Jiang Aiqing said, and quickly raised his eyes and looked at Ji Xiangli.
The momentum was not inferior at all, as if waiting to kill him with one blow.
Empress Ji had never seen such an emperor before, and her heart sank anxiously. She quickly gave Ji Xiangli several glances.
But Ji Xiangli just remained in a stalemate with the emperor, as if he couldn't see anyone else.
Empress Ji was completely panicked, worried that the emperor would punish the Ji family again. She no longer cared about anything else. In front of her family and palace maids, she reached out and took the emperor's hand and placed it on her heart.
She said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I just can't bear to leave my father and brother. Since you have forbidden me from entering the palace, then I won't go in. But I can leave the palace occasionally, isn't that okay?"
The emperor felt relieved when he saw that Empress Ji had surrendered to him.
Jiaru still understood herself. If she hadn't been reluctant to leave her, the Ji family would have been destroyed long ago.
But he couldn't do it too obviously, so he still glanced at Empress Ji from a distance, and said with a look of dissatisfaction: "Of course you can go out, but you can't go out too often. After all, she is the mother of a country..."
At this time, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the mutual concessions between the emperor and the empress did not make Ji Xiangli feel comfortable.
Instead, his anger burned even more fiercely.
His daughter, who had been promised by this man to be a delicate and darling daughter, was now begging him so humbly and even offering her beauty to him!
Thinking of this, his blood surged rapidly, and the anger in his chest almost burst out of his chest: "Since you act like this, then don't blame me! Tomorrow, I will let the world see what you, Jiang Muyao, have done and what kind of face you really have!"
The emperor didn't expect that even at this moment, he would still not give in.
In an instant, his eyes fiercely pierced Ji Xiangli. His eyes were as cold as ice, filled with surging murderous intent: "Then you come and see what the consequences will be for threatening the emperor!"
He gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.
The Ji family has really been raised to be lawless!
In the past, he rarely got angry when facing Ji Xiangli and Queen Ji.
Because the Ji family members are smart, it is very comfortable to get along with them.
But recently, for some reason, he was forced to break through his defensive bottom line again and again.
It seems that this person really doesn't want to live!
Ji Xiangli was about to speak again, but was stopped by the emperor: "If Ji Guofu is stubborn and refuses to change, then don't blame me for not remembering my kindness!"
As he spoke, he stared at him gloomily, then glanced at Ji Bozhou beside him, "Si Luan is the only male left in the Ji family. Does Father-in-law Ji want the Ji family to be extinct from now on?"
He glanced at Empress Ji beside him again, then looked at Ji Xiangli: "Or is it that your Ji family is willing to give up Jiaru's position as empress and let her go with you, and be willing to just be a commoner?"
When Empress Ji and Ji Bozhou heard the emperor say this, they not only panicked, but even felt a sense of despair as if they were walking a tightrope on a cliff.
Surprisingly, he even had the thought of deposing the queen?!
This has never happened before.
In fact, all the emperor's thoughts revolve around himself!
Therefore, Empress Ji glared at Ji Bozhou, immediately knelt down, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, my father did not mean it. He was also confused by anger for a moment, so he said these words. Please do not bear grudges. Just treat it as a fart and let him leave the palace first, Your Majesty."
"I promise I will obey everything you say. Please let Si Luan go. I will stay with you for the rest of my life, Your Majesty..."
When Ji Xiangli heard that the emperor was showing signs of deposing the empress, he was also shocked.
This, this is his trump card...
But seeing Empress Ji like this, he still felt a little disappointed with her.
He remembered clearly how the emperor had once wanted to ask for Jiaru's hand in marriage in front of him!
How could Jia Ru be deposed?!
But... he wasn't quite sure.
After all, he had taken several people into his harem, and they had children...
Empress Ji has always been the Ji family's greatest supporter and ceremonial guard. If Jiaru loses her position as empress, the Ji family will indeed face a complete decline...
Ji Xiangli thought for a few moments and finally regained a bit of calmness.
He said with dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, please don't threaten me. We are meant to prosper together and suffer together. If you force yourself to harm my Ji family, you won't have an easy time either!"
As soon as these words came out, the emperor unexpectedly laughed, but there was still a cold light in that laugh.
"Father-in-law Ji, do you still understand that we share the same fate?"
Ji Xiangli choked.
He understood!
I'm afraid that the words the deposed queen just said had some truth in them!
He looked at the emperor hesitantly for a few times, and considering his face, he still said sarcastically: "Keeping our Ji family out of the palace has indeed preserved your reputation as an emperor. You won't have any more messes to embarrass or trouble the emperor again! And you've completely gotten rid of the Ji family. What a good plan!"
If Jiaru doesn't enter the palace, and if she is imprisoned by the emperor again or not allowed to leave the palace, wouldn't the Ji family be completely cut off from the palace and the center of power?!
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the emperor smile: "So you are worried about this."
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, I won't abandon the Ji family. Aren't you just worried that the Ji family won't be able to see the queen in the future, and that she will be lonely in the deep palace? Aren't you worried that she will be away from wealth and no longer be able to enjoy the scenery?
The emperor directly exposed the Ji family's true intentions and said, "How about this? Choose someone from the Ji family to accompany the queen in the harem?"
He looked at the queen gently and said, "This way, Jiaru won't have to miss home all the time. It will also ease her longing..."
After saying this, Ji Xiangli and Ji Bozhou were both stunned.
In this important harem, can someone be specially chosen to accompany the queen?
The emperor knew about the incest rumor between the Ji family and his sister, and he must have felt a knot in his heart because of it.
Why would someone be specially sent to accompany the Queen at such a critical moment?
Qingyan is dead, and now the only female member left in the family is Wang...
But the relationship between Wang and Jiaru has not been good since that incident was exposed...
Several people in the Ji family were somewhat distressed by what the emperor said.
Then they heard the emperor speak again slowly, saying something that would be difficult for them to let go of in their lifetime.
