Emperor Mu looked at him with unclear meaning, his eyes revealing some deep meaning: "Do you believe that a man can treat his wife like the same for ten years?"
"The King of War is the emperor's son. The emperor doesn't believe him?"
Emperor Mu's expression was subtle: "This is not a question of whether I want to believe him or not, but that people's hearts are fickle. Master Ji doesn't want to find a backer for Prince Zhan's Mansion?"
"The emperor is joking." Ji Ziyi looked calm, with a calm and elegant attitude, "Langya City is just a small city, how much reliance can it give to Princess Zhan? King Zhan has 400,000 elites in his hands. If the day comes when the couple separates. , His Highness the War King can destroy Langya City with just a raise of his hand."
Emperor Mu's eyes were attentive: "Ji Ziyi, you should understand what I mean."
Ji Ziyi fell silent and thought for a while: "Reporting to the Emperor, Langya City has earned a lot of property over the years. If His Highness the War King's army needs food, grass, military pay, bows, crossbows and arrows, the common people are willing to go all out, but that's all. Others. There is nothing we can do in Langya City, and we hope that the emperor will leave a peaceful place for Langya City."
Emperor Mu looked at him expressionlessly for a long time, then nodded slowly: "You do one thing for me, and I will fulfill your wish."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Since there are many masters in Langya City, you choose a few powerful ones to take one's life for me."
Ji Ziyi's expression changed slightly: "Who?"
Emperor Mu didn't say anything. He just dipped his pen in ink and slowly wrote a person's name on the rice paper.
Ji Ziyi is very smart, so smart that even if she is not involved in government affairs, she still understands the situation in the world.
When his eyes fell on that name, he was silent for a long time.
The person the emperor asked him to kill could completely affect the situation in the court to a large extent.
He vaguely guessed what the emperor meant, and it was probably related to the issue of establishing a crown prince that the courtiers were recently concerned about.
It's just that Ji Ziyi really doesn't want to wade into troubled waters. He just wants to live quietly, but His Majesty the Emperor insists on letting him wade into troubled waters.
...Sigh, it’s hard to disobey the holy will.
Ji Ziyi had no choice but to agree: "This matter is of great importance. The common people can agree to the emperor, but in terms of time, please ask the emperor to grant some grace."
"I'm not in a hurry, I can do it within two months."
Ji Ziyi reluctantly agreed and proposed to resign and leave.
"Can you find the person who bewitched Rong Cang?"
Ji Ziyi stopped and did not answer the question directly, but said: "The poison that His Highness the War King has is the Heart-Eating Gu, which is also the mother-child poison. The mother-gu controls the child-gu. This kind of poison wants to be silenced." The most important thing about controlling people without being suspected is that it takes a long time. When the poison takes effect, it is impossible to find out who caused the poison, leaving people with no clue and no way to solve the poison."
It was an unexpected surprise to be able to find the Mother Gu on Chu Yunjiao so quickly this time. After all, who would have thought that a person with a Mother Gu would come to his door?
Emperor Mu listened expressionlessly: "You continue."
"The person who raised the poisonous poison should still be in the capital." Ji Ziyi thought of Chu Yunjiao, "Didn't the concubine of the Prince's Palace say yesterday that he was the mastermind behind it? I think that person has been living in his palace."
After a pause, "Also, please forgive me for overstepping. Since he has so much patience to bewitch the War King and spends ten years raising such an evil person, he probably won't only be able to control the War King." "
Emperor Mu's expression changed slightly: "You mean..." Is there anyone else who was also bewitched?
"The top priority is to find this person first." Ji Ziyi's expression was calm and gentle, and his tone was gentle and harmless. "Let him be interrogated by someone who is good at extracting confessions. Maybe he can get the answer."
Emperor Mu didn't say anything, but there was a strange color in his eyes.
…
The news that Chu Yuanzhong was demoted quickly spread.
It is not a shocking event for a court official to make a mistake and be punished, but Chu Yuanzhong is the father of Princess Zhan.
Whether Chu Yuanzhong was demoted means that Chu Yunfei will be in a difficult situation in the future. This is the news that many people are concerned about at the moment. After all, many official women have been jealous of her recently, and they hope that she will fall into the abyss immediately and let everyone They all stepped on it.
However, what is disappointing is that no news has been reported from Prince Zhan's palace for the time being, and the emperor has not summoned Prince Zhan and his wife again.
After Mrs. Chu got the news, she reacted very calmly, but Aunt Chen was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.
"Master was demoted three levels in a row?" Her expression suddenly changed, and she stood up in shock, "How...how could this happen? Isn't Chu Yunfei the princess? How could she just watch her father being demoted without any mercy? Help?"
"It must be that bitch's fault!" Chu Yuxiao, the eldest son of the Chu family, was furious and his face was ashen. "She just doesn't like her father. I'm going to settle the score with her right now!"
Damn Chu Yunfei! trouble marker!
His father was demoted three levels in a row and transferred directly from the central office of the Ministry of Household Affairs. How could he, the eldest son of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, still hang out in the officialdom? It will only be more difficult to enter the official career in the future, and all the children of aristocratic families in Kyoto will gradually alienate him.
"Xiao'er, please don't be impulsive." Aunt Chen quickly grabbed him, "The War King has been recuperating at home recently. You won't be able to get better by going to the palace."
Chu Yuxiao gritted her teeth: "Is this the end of it? That bitch Chu Yunfei is so cruel, I can't swallow this!"
Aunt Chen frowned: "I have a way."
"mother?"
Aunt Chen raised her hand to signal him to come forward, and lowered her voice to whisper in his ear, which made Chu Yuxiao nod repeatedly.
Mother and son looked at each other, exchanging unspoken plans.
In the evening, Chu Yuanzhong returned home with a dull look on his face, his steps were staggering and his face was ugly, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years and no longer had the high spirits of the past.
Chu Yuxiao stood in the front yard waiting for him. When she saw him coming back, she immediately went to greet him: "Dad."
Chu Yuanzhong raised his eyes and looked at the eldest and only son in front of him, feeling defeated.
"Dad, we all know about you." Chu Yuxiao looked at him angrily, "This was all instigated by my mother! In order to retaliate against her father for doting on her aunt, after Ji Ziyi came to the door, she gave him the order to marry the emperor. Complaining in front of me and impeaching my father for being an official. All of this was ordered by my mother. My father——"
"What did you say?" Chu Yuanzhong was shocked, and then his eyes seemed to be filled with overwhelming anger, "Ji's instructions?"
"Yes." Chu Yuxiao's face was gloomy, "Just because I am not her biological son, she wants to make it difficult for our family. Anyway, her daughter has become the Princess of War, and now she has someone to support her-"
"That bitch!" Chu Yuanzhong was so angry that he lost his mind and rushed towards the inner courtyard angrily.
A cold calculation flashed across Chu Yuxiao's eyes.
Ji, if you don’t make it easy for me, I won’t make it easy for you.
Regardless of whether you are the mother-in-law of the War King or the legitimate daughter of Langya City, you are still just the Chu Ji of the Chu family, can you still make a comeback?
Chu Yuxiao snorted coldly, turned around and followed: "Dad, calm down! Dad! Dad!"
Chu Yuanzhong rushed into the main courtyard of the inner house with his sinister anger. When he saw Ji sitting in a daze in front of the window, he was furious. He walked over and gave her a slap in the face: "You bitch!"
The unsuspecting Mrs. Chu was slapped and fell to the couch. The corners of her mouth were immediately broken, and she was completely confused.
