Ji Che's face suddenly stiffened.
princess?
Who is the Princess Regent of the Prince Regent?
From the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yun Si beside him, tilting her head and looking at him with a sneer on her lips...
"You...you are..." Ji Che looked at Yun Si with wide eyes: "Don't you like King Chu and have nothing to do with King Chu!"
How could a second-married daughter like Yun Si be Huo Shenzhi's regent?
What's more, this is a combination that is not allowed by ethics!
"Your Highness has always made a mistake..." Yun Si pointedly raised her chin towards Huo Shenzhi: "That man is my legitimate husband. As for the King of Chu, it is just a misunderstanding."
Ji Che felt cold all over.
He looked at Emperor Ming and opened his mouth to talk about how dirty the two of them were, but found that Emperor Ming was not shocked at all.
In other words, my father knows about this matter!
So, the Yun family also knows?
So, the Yun family broke off the engagement with me?
How dare Yun Si run so unscrupulously in the imperial capital!
In fact, he is not afraid of marrying low at all, and what's more, he is so confident in rejecting himself!
"Father...Father..." Ji Che's mind was filled with dizziness.
He no longer dared to think about what he had just said!
"Misunderstanding, it turned out to be... a misunderstanding!"
How long has this happened? There was still a misunderstanding... Yu Wanzhi was angry and regretful. She gritted her teeth and looked at Ji Che's back. She was really blind when she fell in love with such a thick-skinned and shameless hypocrite!
"Is it true that you can't conceive? Please tell me carefully. I promise you that I will let you be the crown prince no matter what." Emperor Ming assessed Ji Che.
Ji Che was heartbroken and angry, and nodded seriously: "It's just...just for a while. Father, my son is not suffering from a hidden disease since he was a child like the rumors outside! I must ask the regent princess to treat me, so that I can have an heir as soon as possible." Father, are you relieved?"
"Huh?" Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows: "No, I am more relieved that you have no heir. It also saves you from secretly looking for a woman, and I have to ask someone to help the pregnant woman cook."
Ji Che looked at Emperor Ming in shock, breathing heavily in his chest.
Huo Shenzhi just said: "Keep the prince here so that we can use him to fish out those ministers who are disloyal and want to form cliques for personal gain. In the future, we can remove the thorns from the scepter and hand it over to the future prince with peace of mind. Your Majesty, this chess piece is played with great skill."
Emperor Ming waved his hands and laughed: "Fortunately, okay, my chess is only on my own board, and you, the chessboard has been moved from Dazhou to Xizhou. Hahaha..."
Huo Shenzhi smiled back.
Yun Si watched them talk about such heart-wrenching plans as if they were talking about a trivial matter, not caring about Ji Che's mood or life and death.
When she looked at Ji Che again, Ji Che was speechless.
It is said that the most favored and most trusted prince in Xizhou, Ji Che, is the most trusted by the emperor.
In the end, it's just a shield and a fishhook.
Mortal ministers, even if there is a prince in front of them, can only be loyal to the emperor.
Adhering to the spirit of "I would rather kill the wrong one than let him go," Emperor Ming specifically used it to lure those ministers who were close to the prince, leaving only those who were die-hard loyal ones to pave the way for the true crown prince in the future.
And her Yun family almost became one of the big fish on Emperor Ming's hook!
Yun Si thought of this and suddenly looked at Huo Shenzhi.
If he hadn't made a crucial move in the process, allowing his father to submit a memorial to show his loyalty, and he had also been involved as a guarantee, Emperor Ming would have chosen to give the Yun family a chance in the end.
The Yun family is completely finished!
Thinking of this, Yun Si felt like waking up from a big dream, and her mind suddenly became clear and bright.
"Yun Si."
Emperor Ming called Yun Si: "When you go back, please help the prince to testify. He is in good health and everything is fine."
After that, the emperor looked at Ji Che again: "As for you, you will stay in the palace honestly these days. The secret guards, dead soldiers, and retainers you have trained around you will still come back to you. Go. After all, they are all sent to you by me, and they have to help me clean up your mess. As for the concubine... just stay as the crown prince's concubine! "
Yu Wanzhi collapsed on the ground.
I want to ask Yun Si.
But looking at Yun Si's indifferent expression, she fully realized what it means to have the world be unresponsive and the earth and the earth to be ineffective. Life is worse than death!
Yun Si looked at Yu Wanzhi. From now on, Yu Wanzhi would have to endure such a miserable life in the Prince's Mansion until the real crown prince ascended the throne. When the time came, she would be given a death.
Based on Emperor Ming's plan, he might even find someone to give Yu Wanzhi a child so that he could clear Ji Che's shield and catch more fish.
"Pfft!" Ji Che couldn't bear it for a moment and vomited blood heavily.
Huo Shenzhi stood up and said softly: "Your Majesty, please lend me to the prince."
Emperor Ming naturally agreed.
Huo Shenzhi stood up, nodded to Yun Si, and walked out of the palace.
The eunuch carried the prince, who was sitting on a chair and lingering.
Seeing Huo Shenzhi, he let him go.
"What do you want to do!" Ji Che gritted his teeth. All the strength in his body had disappeared when he realized that he was a pawn.
There was a smile as cold as ice in Huo Shenzhi's eyes: "You asked the royal family of Zhou Dynasty to kneel down for you. This matter must be carefully calculated."
Ji Che sneered angrily: "Don't be hypocritical! You two don't get along in the first place. Why are you a good person? In your heart, you really want him to be humble!"
Huo Shenzhi still smiled unhurriedly: "The prince doesn't understand. Between men, there is the country first, and then there is the individual. Talk about business first, and then talk about private matters. My great Zhou's face has been damaged by you, what do I think? A passing moment? Take good care of yourself, and I’ll let you kneel down and come back in a few days.”
After saying this, he stretched out his hand and patted Ji Che's head gently, as if patting a dog:
"How could the prince think that you are so clever at deception that you can blindfold your father?"
He was far away in the Zhou Dynasty, and spent two years gathering all kinds of information about Emperor Ming before he could clearly see his true intentions, so that this time, he would talk about it in one fell swoop.
Huo Shenzhi admires this kind of person.
At that time, in the study.
Emperor Ming handed down the list of a group of officials that the prince had colluded with before, and then smiled lovingly at Yun Si and said: "You have to thank your husband. If it weren't for him, your Yun family would also be on this list today. Yes. It’s just that he said he didn’t want to involve you. He always felt that it was his business. Well, this guy is good. If it weren’t for you, I would be prepared to betroth my most beloved little princess to him."
Yun Si understood it.
She stood up and said nothing.
Waiting for Emperor Ming's orders.
Emperor Ming saw that she was also smart, so he suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "Someone will take you down later, and you can help me treat someone. The day she recovers will be the time for you to leave. If not, This deal can only be considered half done.”
Yun Si was silent: "Your Majesty, Yun Si wants to ask, what deal did he make with Your Majesty?"
Emperor Ming's brows jumped: "He didn't tell you anything?"
With such a good opportunity, speaking out will win over a woman's heart, but you don't even know how to speak?
Emperor Ming suddenly laughed and said jokingly: "Then I'll just tell you a few words. Don't tell anyone. I said it. Just say...the prince said it!"
