Chapter 530: The situation is opened up and suddenly becomes clear
In Xiao Yanan's heart, Ji Chuhe is the kind of person who can control all situations.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such thoughts naturally.
"Madam, how should we deal with this? The court has been divided into two factions because of this matter. Although my uncle intervened, Prime Minister Qin and his gang are fanning the flames openly and secretly. Father still has to face a dilemma."
Ji Chuhe smiled faintly, "This matter is not difficult to deal with, we just need to muddy the water."
"How?"
"Sir, you will go to see the emperor tomorrow and tell him that there is something fishy about Xiao Jincheng. I'm afraid that Xiao Jincheng is not the mastermind behind the assassination, and there is someone else who wants to kill you."
Xiao Yanan was suddenly enlightened when he heard this.
There was no need for Ji Chuhe to explain the rest to him one by one, he already knew what to do.
After Xiao Yan'an left, Ji Chuhe called Ming'er into the inner courtyard.
Ming'er tried to escape last night but was stopped by Ji Chuhe's men. He has been under guard since today and has not stepped out of the room.
When she heard that Ji Chuhe wanted to see her, she felt a little nervous.
Does Ji Chuhe want to get rid of her?
Arriving at the inner courtyard, Ming'er looked around. This was a wealth that she could not even imagine.
Looking at the prince's mansion again, the rules were strict and the servants were all well-trained. She finally realized how absurd her daydream was.
She thought that the Second Young Master had the Emperor's support, and it would be easy for him to replace Xiao Yan'an as the Crown Prince.
She can also follow the second young master as a concubine.
Unexpectedly, the Second Young Master would be in danger so soon!
Ji Chuhe sat in the main seat, waiting for Ming'er.
She had her usual hibiscus bun in her hair, with a gold filigree hairpin inlaid with rubies and decorated with kingfisher feathers inserted in it. She was wearing an ochre-red thousand-water skirt with ancient double-butterfly and cloud-shaped patterns. This outfit alone was worth a fortune.
What made Ming'er feel even more ashamed was Ji Chuhe's dignified and elegant mistress demeanor.
Seeing Ming'er distracted, Ji Chuhe took the initiative to speak, "Ming'er, when we were in Huaiyang, I had a feeling that we would meet again in this life. I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
"What do you want to talk to me about? Just say it directly." Ming'er tried hard to save his dignity.
"The Second Young Master assassinated the Crown Prince. This is an unforgivable crime and you cannot escape the death penalty. Have you ever thought about your own fate?"
There was a flash of panic in Ming'er's eyes.
"You must know about the Second Young Master's plan, right? Are you involved in the murder of the Crown Prince?"
"I didn't! I had no idea about the Second Young Master's plan!" Ming'er denied it flatly.
"Your words are not convincing at all, and no one will believe them." Ji Chuhe picked up something from the table, which was Ming'er's indenture.
Ming'er was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
"You...you don't actually want to kill me! Otherwise, you wouldn't be wasting time talking to me here." Her voice trembled.
"You are indeed very smart, and I also like to deal with smart people. Yes, you are right, I don't want your life, and I don't want Xiao Jincheng's life either, because of him, the reputation of me, the prince, my father, and my mother has been damaged, it is really not worth it."
Upon hearing this, Ming'er immediately begged Ji Chuhe for mercy, "Madam, please let me go. This matter really has nothing to do with me! The Second Young Master said that I was his concubine, but in fact, there was no procedure at all. You should know this best! I am not his concubine in name at all. At best, I am just a personal maid."
"Don't you want to save the lives of the two gentlemen?"
"I don't have that ability at all. I can't even take care of my own life, how can I save others? Madam, please return my indenture to me. I will never appear in front of you again in this life!" Ming'er kowtowed to Ji Chuhe continuously.
"Things have come to this point, and you still want to get away with it. Do you think it's possible? At the beginning, you must have thought that the Second Young Master had the Emperor's support and would definitely be able to seize the throne. Once the Second Young Master became the Crown Prince, you would be his bedfellow. Even if you couldn't be the Crown Prince's wife, you would at least be a concubine. Now that the Second Young Master has been arrested, you want to get away with it by saying it has nothing to do with you. Your wishful thinking is too good."
When Ming'er heard Ji Chuhe's words, her pupils dilated and she was shocked.
"You...how do you know it's the Emperor..."
"Ming'er, if Xiao Jincheng can survive, you have a chance of survival. If Xiao Jincheng dies, you have no chance of survival. It's up to you to decide what to choose."
"You just said that the evidence is irrefutable and the Second Young Master will not be able to escape death. Even if you know that the Emperor is behind this, you can't expose the Emperor, right?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Just answer me your choice."
Ming'er looked at Ji Chuhe, pondered for a long time, and then nodded slowly, "What do you want me to do? I will listen to you."
"Okay." Ji Chuhe slowly stood up and walked in front of Ming'er.
"Ming'er, we are not strangers to each other. You should know me to some extent. I think it may not be better for you to follow the Second Young Master than to follow me."
Ming'er's pupils trembled again, and he looked at Ji Chuhe in confusion.
Ji Chuhe raised his hand and patted Ming'er on the shoulder, "Think about it carefully."
After saying that, she walked away.
Ming'er stood alone in the room for a long time without coming to his senses.
When she walked out of Ji Chuhe's yard, she saw Ji Chuhe admiring the flowers in the garden from afar.
A woman with a big belly was surrounding Ji Chuhe. She was wearing luxurious clothes and accessories on her head. Especially when the woman raised her hand, the bracelet inlaid with colorful gemstones on her wrist was dazzling under the sunlight.
"Who is that pregnant woman?" she couldn't help but ask.
The maid replied softly, "That is the prince's concubine Dong."
Ming'er finally remembered.
It’s that little bitch Dong Ling!
When in Huaiyang, Dong Ling was the barking dog beside Ji Chuhe!
Looking at Dong Ling and then looking at himself, Ming'er felt sad.
A slightly absurd thought popped up in my mind: It turns out that in this world you don't have to rely on men to live a good life and wear gold and silver. You can live so well by relying on women!
……
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests to see you." Chao Sihai quickly came to the imperial study to report to the Emperor, his voice becoming a little lighter.
Now, whenever the emperor mentioned the prince, his hair stood on end.
He has followed the emperor for so many years.
As long as the emperor wants to get rid of someone, no one can escape! The prince actually escaped twice, not only that, but he dared to come to see the emperor at this time.
Chao Sihai all thought that Xiao Yanan was really brave!
The emperor threw down his red brush in annoyance and asked in a deep voice, "What is he doing here?"
