The clothes, jewelry, and food given to me are all things my sister likes.

It’s so attentive!

Thinking of this, Chen Jue suddenly remembered an interesting thing.

This 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 of the second son of Langya Wang family and the future head of the family.

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."

Without guessing, 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 her temperament. The third princess is extravagant and weak. She doesn't like reading and is not very smart. She has never thought of 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, he didn't expect 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 difficult for her to show 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 go to Linzhou to pick her up."

"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 then saw Liu Zhong retreating respectfully.

At night, a carriage quietly set off from the west corner gate of the palace and disappeared without a trace.

The next morning, several carriages had already stopped at the gate of the East City and had been 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 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 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 her head and once again refused Wang Si to prove his innocence in front of His Majesty.

"Why?" Wang Si was confused. 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 his head again, "No, no."

In Wang Si's doubtful eyes, Li Wan asked, "Brother Wang, don't you really think that His Majesty only dismissed my position because of those poor students?"

Wang Si looked at it doubtfully, thinking, "Isn't it?"

But before the words came out, I heard Li Wan's words here.

He said: "What 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.

Wang Si probably understood, and also knew that His Majesty would not restore the position of Prime Minister.

So I didn't think about finding an opportunity to go to His Majesty to explain clearly to my friend.

But he still didn't understand why His Majesty went to such trouble to depose the Prime Minister?

It was probably Li Wan who noticed his doubts. Li Wan looked at the distant place and pondered, and said meaningfully: "Our Majesty - he is becoming more and more unpredictable!"

In the past, I would go crazy from time to time, and would make fun of these ministers in the court, just like a foolish king.

Now it seems that it is really developing in the direction of Mingjun!

It's a pity that he probably can't see it anymore! Li Wan shook his head and sighed, sighing in his heart.

"Master, it's getting late, and my wife is urging you."

At this time, a voice from behind Li Wan reminded the two of them.

"Look at me, we were so busy talking that we forgot the time." Wang Si put aside his doubts and handed over the gift prepared by his servant.

He said: "In the past, when I left, the willows clung to me; now when I came to think about it, it was raining and snowing. Brother Li is leaving today, and I don't have any willows to send him off. I can only send him the four-season crabapple, a famous flower in the capital. I hope Brother Li will be here."

Have a safe trip and see you in Luo Jing one day!"

"Thank you!"

Li Wan took the Four Seasons Begonia and raised her eyes to look at the three words "Luojing City" on the city wall, feeling a lot of reluctance in her heart.

I don’t know when I will come back again after saying goodbye!

Maybe one year, two years, or even a lifetime!

Li Wan smiled bitterly, shook her head, and turned to leave.

The carriage was swaying because it was on an official road and the road was smooth.

Li Wan raised her hand to lift the corner of the car curtain and looked at the gradually retreating scenery, feeling an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the servant's voice came from outside, "My young master invites Mr. Li to have a talk at Shan Pavilion."

Li Wan's thoughts were interrupted. He raised his eyes and saw clearly the people standing outside. He was so frightened that he quickly put down the curtain and stood up to go out.
