Chapter 196 A Thunderclap in the Clear Sky
Imperial city, imperial palace.
"Father, I truly do not know who framed me like this. I swear to heaven that I have nothing to do with this matter. If I lie even a little, I will be struck by lightning!"
In the imperial study, Crown Prince Ji Mingshuo and Second Prince Ji Mingzhao were kneeling. The person who said this kowtowed loudly, and the person who was shouting out his injustice was the Second Prince Ji Mingzhao.
After the morning court today, the two brothers were called by Ji Yueze to the imperial study. As soon as the two brothers knelt down, Ji Yueze, who was sitting in front of the imperial desk, hit them in the face. When the two brothers picked up something and took a look, they were both shocked.
Ji Mingshuo was the crown prince after all, and he was more composed than Ji Mingzhao. He knelt on the ground with his back straight, his face full of anger and innocence. Yes, innocence! When he heard Ji Mingzhao's resounding oath, he looked especially innocent!
Because he did send people to assassinate the emperor's uncle, but... none of the people he sent survived, they all died, and those who escaped were the second brother's men. For him, this matter meant there was no evidence, and he would deny it until his death. As his father doted on him, he was not afraid of his father's punishment at all.
It was Ji Mingzhao, however. Ji Mingzhao's men were now sent directly to the gate of the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor's uncle's men, so of course he was panicked.
As Ji Mingzhao finished speaking, a loud "boom" suddenly rang out from the clear blue sky outside.
A loud thunder struck the corridor in front of the imperial study, scaring the eunuchs waiting there almost to death.
The father and his two sons in the imperial study were all stunned.
Which of the two brothers hadn't sworn an oath to the heavens? But they firmly believed that they were noble descendants blessed by heaven, and they had never expected the scene just now to happen. Even if they thought it was a coincidence, they still felt a little scared.
After coming back to their senses, Ji Yueze and Ji Mingshuo all looked at Ji Mingzhao, who was kneeling there and had not yet recovered from his daze.
This vicious oath... in broad daylight, it's not a good sign at first glance.
Ji Yueze coughed lightly, and reached out to stroke the beard on his chin lovingly. This was the only long hair left on his head.
Speaking of which, this was the only hair left on him by the thief who sneaked into the palace that night.
In fact, the little Su Wanyan at that time just thought that a bare boiled egg was too ugly, and it would look better with some beard, so that it would not be too eye-catching.
Her starting point was really simple, not as beautiful as Ji Yueze thought.
"Okay, it's shameful to repeat this useless oath in the future." Ji Yueze glanced at Ji Mingzhao and couldn't bear to watch it.
Ji Mingzhao was also terrified and bowed, "Yes."
Ji Mingshuo also lowered his head obediently, but from out of sight, a mocking smile slowly curled up the corners of his lips. Ha! Did you see that? Even the heavens were helping him.
Ji Mingzhao couldn't get rid of this blame no matter how hard he tried.
Ji Yueze was familiar with the personalities of his two sons. He didn't think there was anything wrong with them secretly attacking Ji Xiaohan. He couldn't tolerate Ji Xiaohan, so how could his sons tolerate Ji Xiaohan?
However, they shouldn't be able to be caught in the act. As long as one is careful, one can easily find out which prince's family these people came from. They are just too young and inexperienced!
However, for Ji Yueze, who is in his prime, it is okay for his sons to have this intention, but they cannot be too ambitious, otherwise, it will not only threaten Ji Xiaohan, but also himself.
