The clothes, jewelry, and food given to me are all things my sister likes.
It’s really thoughtful!
Thinking of this, Chen Jue suddenly remembered an interesting thing.
Wang Yuanqi was the deposed prince's companion, so naturally he and the third princess grew up together.
Childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, if the late emperor were here, they would probably be married by this time!
Chen Jue put it down, touched his chin and examined Wang Yuanqi carefully.
Well, he is good-looking and capable. His family background is that he is the second son of Langya Wang family and the future head of the family.
Even in modern times, this would be considered a tall, rich and handsome man.
This man is also clean and has no wives or concubines at home.
It matches well with Chen Jue's cheap sister who has the same father and mother.
Judging from the frequency of Wang Yuanqi's visits to Linzhou, most of the two are friendly, Chen Jue thought to himself.
Thinking so, he asked.
"Do you love the third princess?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yuanqi was a little surprised and slightly nervous. Did he think that he was so obvious?
However, Wang Yuanqi relaxed again soon, took a deep breath, and suppressed the emotions that were about to come out.
He then said, "Your Majesty, I have different opinions on what Su Xing said."
No need to guess, Chen Jue knew that he was changing the subject.
Chen Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes signaled him to continue.
"I have grown up with the third princess since childhood. I know what kind of temper she has. The third princess is extravagant and weak. She doesn't like reading and is not very smart. She has never thought about intervening in policies, let alone ——”
Thinking of the person imprisoned in the abandoned palace, Wang Yuanqi suddenly paused.
Then he continued: "She will not support the deposed prince. I ask your majesty not to misunderstand the third princess!
Wang Yuanqi knew he shouldn't mention this, not even that person.
However, he still mentioned it when he thought of the third princess' forced smile every time before leaving Linzhou.
Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, not expecting Wang Yuanqi to say such words.
Logically speaking, with Wang Yuanqi's current status, he should avoid suspicion, but he didn't expect...
Chen Jue coughed lightly and smiled.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the letter that he had casually put down, and thought about it for a while.
Chen Jue suddenly spoke, "The third princess said in her letter that she wanted to return to Luojing to fulfill her filial piety. It's hard to praise her for her filial piety. It just so happened that the Queen Mother also said she missed the third princess yesterday, so I gave her permission to return to Luojing."
"You and her are childhood sweethearts and have known each other since childhood. It's up to you to pick her up in Linzhou."
"Third princess, huh?"
Wang Yuanqi was still thinking about how to successfully persuade His Majesty to allow the third princess to return to Luojing. Unexpectedly, the next second he heard that His Majesty allowed the third princess to return to Luojing.
And he still allowed himself to pick it up.
Wang Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, followed the order and left.
After Wang Yuanqi left, Chen Jue called Liu Zhong in again, said something to him, and saw Liu Zhong retreat respectfully.
At night, a carriage quietly set off from the west corner gate of the palace and disappeared without a trace.
In the early morning of the next day, several carriages had already stopped at the gate of Dongcheng, waiting for a long time.
There was a group of people beside the carriage, including men, women, old and young. The leader was Li Wan, the right prime minister who had just been deposed and demoted to Bozhou.
As well as Wang Si and others who came to see him off.
"Brother Li, it's all my fault for being incompetent and unable to intercede for Brother Li." Thinking of yesterday's incident, Wang Si felt quite regretful and self-blame.
But more than that, he didn't believe it. He said: "I believe that Brother Li will never do such a thing. Brother Li can go with peace of mind. When I find the opportunity, I will definitely find a way to testify for Brother Li in front of His Majesty." clean.
Let Brother Li come back again one day - wait! "
Before the word "Luo Jing" was uttered, Li Wan knew what he was going to say and immediately stopped Wang Si.
"Brother Wang, please don't do this!" Li Wan shook his head and once again refused Wang Si to prove his innocence in front of His Majesty.
"Why?" Wang Si was puzzled. Even he could see that Brother Wang was wronged. How could His Majesty not know?
At that time, as long as there is sufficient evidence, His Majesty will definitely let Brother Wang return to Luojing and even restore his status as Right Minister.
Wang Si thought so and said so.
However, after listening to Wang Si's words, Li Wan shook her head again, "No, no."
In Wang Si's confused eyes, Li Wan asked, "Brother Wang, don't you really think that His Majesty only dismissed me from the position because of those poor students?"
Wang Si looked at it doubtfully, thinking, "Isn't it?"
But before the words were spoken, Li Wan's words were heard here.
He said: "Everything that happened yesterday, whether it was the death of a poor student or the death of Xu Duanhuai, was just preparation for the permanent removal of the prime minister."
"To depose the Prime Minister?" Wang Si was a little surprised. Could it be that His Majesty intends to depose the Prime Minister?
Li Wan nodded.
