Chapter 327 The marriage is over, and the journey is smooth
Even so, the old emperor did not waver in the slightest. If he softens his heart and lets Jinghe go, he will not be able to give a good explanation to Ji Mingxuan, and Ji Mingxuan will definitely be unhappy.
Now Ji Mingxuan is his parents who provide him with food and clothing, which is naturally more important than his children.
In the end, Jinghe didn't even know how he got out, and it didn't end well anyway with a bloody head.
The emperor didn't care about this. After dealing with these troublesome things, he continued to sleep.
At this time, the Liu Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion were already in a state of uproar.
Not long after Liu Wentao returned home, he received an imperial edict from the palace and was demoted without any explanation. He trembled with fright, knowing that his relationship with the third prince seemed to be exposed.
When he had just been demoted to the position of minister, he was anxious to find the third prince, and it was probably at that time that he was caught.
But now I can't think of whether the person targeting him is another prince or Ji Mingxuan.
Although Ji Mingxuan is more likely, there has been little movement from Ji Mingxuan recently, so it cannot be ruled out that other princes are confusing the situation.
As soon as he was anxious, he wanted to find the third prince again.
He couldn't bear to be demoted one level before, let alone being sent to a bitter cold place now.
The emperor became furious this time and probably wanted his life.
He didn't want to die, so he had to beg for mercy and find someone to help him no matter what, otherwise his life would be over.
He didn't even bother to change his clothes and hurried out. As a result, he saw someone coming from the Third Prince's Mansion as soon as he arrived at the door of his house.
The visitor was a regular attendant of the third prince, and everyone knew each other.
He looked happy, thinking that the third prince must have come to find a solution for him.
Just as he was about to come forward to say a few words, the man stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liu, this is a letter from my Highness to you."
He handed the letter to Liu Wentao and immediately turned around and left, as if he didn't know him at all.
Liu Wentao had a bad feeling in his heart. He hurriedly opened the envelope and saw that it was indeed the third prince's handwriting. There were only two lines of words on it: The marriage is canceled and everything goes smoothly. He will be called back when the prince makes a comeback.
Such words directly threw Liu Wentao into the cold palace.
He originally thought that since he had done so many things to help the third prince, the third prince would take care of his old relationship and help him intercede in front of the emperor, but the third prince was unwilling to do anything for him in order to protect himself.
He even talked about giving up on the marriage.
The third prince took the initiative to bring this up at the beginning, saying that as long as he helped him with things, he would be able to give his daughter the position of concubine. But now, his efforts have come to nothing.
"master!"
His limbs were so weak that he couldn't stand still for a moment. He took a few steps back, and his whole face looked decadent.
The royal family is so ruthless, making all kinds of promises when needed, but then ignoring everything after something happens.
Even the regular attendants around the third prince have such an attitude and don't even want to say polite words to him. How can they expect to recall the third prince when he becomes powerful?
"Heaven wants to destroy me, God wants to destroy me!"
Over the years, he has helped the third prince do all the bad things and offended many people. Now that he is in decline, how should those people take revenge on him?
He instantly fell to the ground, tears of regret flowing out uncontrollably. If he had known better, he shouldn't have chosen sides randomly in the first place, and he wouldn't have become an outcast now.
Liu Ying was originally embroidering a wedding dress in the backyard. When she heard something happened in the front yard, she hurriedly came out to see her father crying loudly on the ground. Her heart suddenly dropped and she had a bad premonition.
But he still suppressed his uneasiness, stepped forward to help dad up, and asked with concern: "Dad, what's going on?"
"Daughter, we have helped the wrong person! The third prince blamed everything on me and even said he would cancel the engagement with you..."
Liu Wentao cried while talking, feeling that he had failed his daughter.
It was clearly for the best of my daughter at the beginning, but now it has become like this, and it may even ruin my daughter's reputation. What should I do for the rest of my life?
When Liu Ying heard this, she was also shocked. There was good news half a month ago, and she was happily planning to sew a wedding dress for herself. But now she was told that the engagement was cancelled, and her family and
The third prince has nothing to do with him anymore.
But why is this happening? Isn’t everything going well?
"No, no, he said he liked me and would marry me, how could he change his mind like this? No, dad, you must have made a mistake, right?"
Liu Ying's mind was in a mess. She didn't believe this was true, but seeing her father so sad, she knew clearly in her heart that she had been abandoned.
The poor third prince always confessed to her verbally and never had any real evidence. Now even if he complained to the emperor, it would be of no use.
Liu Wentao cried a lot and felt that there was no hope for this day, so he showed the note in his hand to Liu Ying. When Liu Ying saw the words "Have a good trip", she asked again: "Dad, what happened? You
Where are you going?”
The servant next to her hurriedly told her what had happened. Liu Ying instantly felt that her legs were sore and weak, and she was speechless for a long time.
Why was he suddenly demoted? It could only be because someone complained to the emperor behind his back.
They always thought that what they were doing was very secretive. They never thought that they would always know the beginning and the end in front of others.
"No, I want to go find the third prince! I want to ask him in person!"
She stood up and ran out, and Liu Wentao didn't hold her back. Anyway, now that things have happened, he is not afraid that things will get worse. Maybe the matter will become too big and the third prince will have to protect them.
Liu Ying ran all the way to the Third Prince's Mansion, crying as she ran, looking dejected and embarrassed, but she couldn't care about that at all now, she just wanted to go to the Third Prince to ask questions in person.
However, when he arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion, he was stopped before he even entered the door.
"Get out of the way, I want to see the third prince!"
Liu Ying felt a bad breath in her heart. Could it be that the previous vows of each other were not as difficult as the present one? Her father was released. As long as the third prince was willing, he could definitely stop it. But the third prince did not. He just quickly told her family
Draw clear boundaries.
If this relationship can be broken off so easily, then what will all her hard work and expectations mean over the years?
"Where did you come from, crazy bitch? How can you see the Third Prince whenever you want? Get out of here, don't force me to hit him!"
The guard at the door didn't show any sympathy for her. He looked at Liu Ying fiercely, and the stick in his hand was about to drop at any time.
Liu Ying wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves and said, "I am Liu Ying, the young lady from Shilang Liu's family, and I want to meet the third prince!"
"That's right, you say? Besides, now that the minister has been replaced, you still have the nerve to say that you are the daughter of some minister's family. It's really shameless. Get out of here! Don't bring any bad luck to us!"
The sarcastic smiles on the guards' faces stung Liu Ying's eyes. They clearly knew about her and deliberately refused to let her in.
If someone hadn't specifically ordered it, how could these servants dare?
