Chapter 300: Reminiscing about the past
"See His Royal Highness the Prince." After a brief pause, Changfeng hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
And Ji Changye looked at the person who walked in and bowed slightly, thinking about why he appeared here, obviously he and the emperor had agreed not to let Ji Qirui interfere in these things, and there was a chance to do something. Could it be that the emperor repented, and in the end he couldn't bear Ji Qirui?
Thinking of this, Ji Changye was a little surprised by his thoughts, and quickly dispelled this idea, after all, he had to believe in the emperor.
Ji Qirui looked around here, and finally fell on Ji Changye's body, and said thoughtfully: "The prince is really hard here, and he has to interrogate so many people."
Although he is polite on the surface, he is already angry in his heart now, if it weren't for the emperor's ill health today, he would not have had the opportunity to come to see what Ji Changye was doing, and whether it would threaten him. He really didn't expect that his biological father would actually have the same hatred and hatred with his enemies and come together against him.
Changfeng suddenly felt bad at this time, knowing that Ji Qirui was not good at coming this time, so he made eye contact with Ji Changye in secret, thinking about how to get out next.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, and the minister is also investigating this matter at the behest of His Majesty, so naturally he will not feel hard. I don't know what instructions and wills His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has here? It's cold and damp here, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should take care of himself and don't get sick here." Ji Changye replied, and the words in it also had a deep meaning.
Ji Qirui sneered and said, "Now the prince must have sent many family members to prison, right? However, this prince is very puzzled, why would His Majesty hand over such an important matter to the prince, after all, the prince has not been in contact with the affairs of the court for many years, and he may not know about some families, but don't accidentally make a wrong decision and cause trouble for himself." As he spoke, he approached Ji Changye, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, as if to advise.
Changfeng took a step forward nervously, afraid of what Ji Qirui would do to Ji Changye, but he was signaled back to his place by Ji Changye's eyes.
Ji Changye knew that Ji Qirui had come to give himself a horse, although he was still very respectful on the surface, he still replied not to be outdone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried, if he didn't do anything unfortunate, how could the minister send people to prison for no reason? The minister knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about the safety of the minister in the court, but since His Majesty has entrusted this errand to the minister, the minister will definitely be able to do a good job and will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations."
Looking at Ji Changye's eyes, Ji Qirui secretly clenched his fists, because now the emperor's trust in him has disappeared, but Ji Changye still said that the emperor trusted him, so he felt threatened, and he was afraid that his future position as emperor would be snatched away.
Ji Changye, who knew that it was not too early, didn't have the heart to waste time with Ji Qirui here, so he glanced at Changfeng and prepared to leave, and said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have anything else, the minister has to take the first step, because there are still many things to do, and the minister will not accompany him." Since he wants to be here, let him be here.
After that, Ji Changye bowed slightly, and then left here with Changfeng, leaving only Ji Qirui trembling here.
After returning to the palace, Changfeng said worriedly, "Lord, will the prince secretly use any means to stop you from continuing to do this? What are you going to do in that case?"
"The crown prince is now the target of public criticism, who doesn't know that he is just a name, His Majesty's trust in him has long been exhausted, and he will not be abolished, firstly, he cannot violate the rules handed down by his ancestors that his wife and son-in-law are the prince, and secondly, it is just for the sake of the face of the Empress Xiao family and other henchmen who support the prince, so the prince has no real danger to us. But if he can unite with other forces, it's impossible to say for sure about this." So Ji Changye was still a little worried.
Song Qian's appearance made the two of them put this matter aside for the time being, because they didn't want to show a worried look in front of Song Qian, so Ji Changye suddenly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, "Song Niangzi."
I didn't expect Ji Changye to change his face so quickly, Changfeng couldn't help but swallow his saliva in surprise.
"Lord Wang, Changfeng. I made milk tea today, would you like to try it?" Song Qian said, as for why she suddenly made milk tea, or to teach Mu Di, what made Song Qian happy was that Mu Di learned things quickly and had understanding, and she could do every step she taught very well, which also made Song Qian put down his hanging heart, knowing that it was the right thing for him to stay with Mu Di, maybe Mu Di could really afford the dessert shop.
Ji Changye naturally agreed, and Changfeng couldn't resist the temptation, and planned to investigate Xie after drinking, so the two of them followed Song Qian to the backyard.
Holding the steaming, unique aroma of milk tea suddenly warmed Ji Changye's heart, and also dissipated all the anger he had suffered in Ji Qirui's place just now.
Although they didn't say it, Song Qian knew what they were doing, and he was also very worried about whether this matter would cause trouble, so he took the initiative to ask, "Lord Wang, did those ministers really do those things? What should we do now when we really want to bring them to justice?"
"Song Niangzi, don't worry, if they really do these things, they will definitely not escape the law, is there any problem with Song Niangzi?" Ji Changye asked nervously, worried that Song Qian would be involved.
Song Qian hurriedly shook his head and explained, "The prince has thought about it a lot, I wasn't involved, I just asked curiously. The prince still has to take care of himself, don't be too tired because of this matter, otherwise the old illness will outweigh the loss."
In the past few days, she has always been anxious, afraid that it will be Ji Changye and they will have an accident, so she asked this question. However, seeing Ji Changye's confident appearance, Song Qian also dispelled this idea, thinking that he still had to believe in Ji Changye.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Ji Changye breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, what happened next was within Ji Changye's grasp, and there were no accidents.
Those families who were deliberately not embarrassed by Ji Changye also became grateful to Ji Changye, and secretly sent a lot of things to Ji Changye, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.
However, Ji Changye did not accept these things, after all, if he accepted these things unruly, it would be completely contrary to his original intention.
So Ji Changye sent these things back one by one, and pretended to inadvertently tell them about the escape of the Queen Mother's mother, and sure enough, the people of these families had a dislike in their hearts, thinking why the Queen Mother's family could leave them all and leave here, which made them naturally dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything openly, after all, the power of the Queen Mother's family was too strong.
Royal Palace, Study.
"Your Majesty, those people have already been arranged." Ji Changye handed a roster to the emperor, and many of the personnel appointments on it were people related to the queen mother's family.
When the emperor saw this, he nodded with great satisfaction and said, "This matter is very well done, so that the contradictions between them will become deeper and deeper, and when the time comes, they will naturally fall into the net without me doing anything with you."
This is their plan, so they don't care too much about what the people of those families do, and the ultimate goal is to bring down the queen mother's mother, and they won't go through their hands, so as to startle the snake.
"But the minister has another question, that is, how to explain the Queen Mother's place?" Ji Changye expressed his worries, after all, they want to bring down the queen mother's mother, and the queen mother is the biggest obstacle here, after all, the emperor can't violate the rules of the ancestors to do anything to the queen mother, so if the queen mother wants to help her mother, they have no way to stop it, or even have no way to deal with it.
After hearing this, the emperor sighed and said, "This matter can only be taken one step at a time, and the first step we can do now is to try our best to hide this matter from the Queen Mother, if it is really impossible to hide it at that time, it is okay to find other ways."
Now there is only one way, Ji Changye responded, and when he was about to leave, he bumped into the Queen Mother and others at the door. This made Ji Changye feel shocked in his heart, and he was worried in his heart
It's not that the Queen Mother came when she heard some rumors, otherwise she usually went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
In desperation, Ji Changye could only return to the study, thinking about waiting for another excuse to leave here.
"Your Majesty." After the Queen Mother walked in, she saw Ji Changye's figure, but she didn't say anything, and even ignored him.
At this time, Ji Changye was also relieved, so that he could leave more smoothly.
"Why did the Queen Mother come?" The emperor was also a little surprised why the Queen Mother came, but in order not to reveal anything, he pretended to ask casually.
After sitting on the chair, the Queen Mother said leisurely: "What does Your Majesty mean by this? Isn't it possible for the mourning family to come to His Majesty if there is nothing to do?"
The emperor naturally didn't believe her words, and after seeing that Ji Changye was still here, he gave him a look, and after comprehending it, Ji Changye planned to leave quietly, but was suddenly stopped by the Queen Mother: "Where is the regent going? Don't you stay with the mourners to talk? After all, it's been so long."
In desperation, Ji Changye had no choice but to turn back and reply, "Queen Mother, the minister is still entangled in some things, so he wants to leave, and I hope that the Queen Mother will not blame her, and wait until the next time the minister enters the palace to accompany you?"
The Queen Mother obviously didn't want to stop there, after all, the purpose of her coming was not simple, so she heard her say: "Recently, the people and the court are not stable, and even turbulent, some people have already begged to go to the mourning family, the mourning family is a harem person, and they can't participate in the political affairs of the previous dynasty, but there is no way, so I want to ask Your Majesty and the regent, what should I do if I encounter these things?"
The emperor and Ji Changye glanced at each other, knowing each other that the Queen Mother already knew something.
But in order not to take the initiative to expose it, Ji Changye pretended to be unaware and said, "Those people really have no rules, and they have already disturbed the Queen Mother, but there must be something unspeakable hidden in this, and I hope Your Majesty can find out."
