Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 865: Is the girl’s meaning what I understand?
"Your Majesty does not want to pass the throne to Li Yuqi." Ji Wuyan shook his head, "Your Majesty, the authorities are confused... In today's royal family, the adult princes have already become mature enough to take his place, but His Majesty is seriously ill and weak, so it is inevitable that he will not have enough ambition. But he is not strong enough. He does not want to abdicate, so he hopes that you and the East Palace will restrain each other, so that your majesty can have a chance to take over the power after recovery. "

Her eyes were calm and gentle, but her words were direct and sharp, hitting the bull's-eye with a hint of meaning.

Li Yiwei was slightly stunned.

It's not that he didn't guess the emperor's plan. He was just looking for an excuse to say this, thinking that it would arouse the other person's empathy and bring him closer to him. The "vulnerability and pitifulness" deliberately shown by the superiors is sometimes a weapon. This was the case in the past. The only legitimate son of the royal family could still make people feel friendly and polite if he occasionally put on airs. At the same time, one could also realize that the person in the East Palace now is just... a bastard.

Li Yiwei also likes to hear this.

I have never met someone like Ji Wuyan, who is not smart enough but too bold.

Ji Wuyan dared to speak, but Li Yiwei was worried that he had ears across the wall and didn't want to continue the conversation in this direction, so he shook his head helplessly and went straight to the topic and asked, "The girl just said that she brought a big gift for me. I don't know." What is it? At this time, I really can’t guess that there is anything more important than the prescription for the epidemic... After all, the girl also knows that this prescription is related to the people of the city..."

He stood on the moral high ground, with a seemingly compassionate smile and deep eyes, implying that Ji Wuyan was hiding and ignoring the lives of the people in the city at this time.

Ji Wuyan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, thinking to himself - Fortunately, he didn't have such a strong sense of morality, and he had no interest in taking the lives of the people in the city and putting them on his shoulders. All she wanted was the safety of those around her. It’s just...does this prince really love his people so much? She raised her eyebrows and nodded with a smile, "That's right... Then, in His Highness' opinion, which is more important, the lives of the people in the city, or the life of the Prince of the East Palace?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wuyan saw His Royal Highness the County Prince, who had seemed so steady before and loved his people like a son, stood up suddenly, "Girl, are you serious?!"

When I stood up, I took the table aside and shook it. The tea cup also shook, and it lost its stability and fell over.

The tea poured out and inevitably splashed on Li Yiwei, but he didn't look at it or help him. He just stood there, a little excited and trying his best to suppress his excitement, so that he looked a little weird and at a loss. . He licked his lips and asked hesitantly, "Miss Ji... what did Miss Ji mean just now, but... is this what I understand?"

It's like playing charades.

Looking at Ji Wuyan, his pupils were trembling - although he tried his best to suppress it, it was obvious that he failed.

Chen Lao said that no one can remain calm when faced with the moment when something they have always wanted is suddenly within their reach. Therefore, he always said that you should not be too obsessed with anything or anyone, otherwise you will be easily taken advantage of and manipulated by others.

For example, Li Yiwei at this time. Ji Wuyan was very satisfied with this. She nodded and said with crooked eyebrows, "Yes. I had the honor to go to the East Palace before and found a secret passage under the study room of the East Palace. Go down the secret passage and you will find a secret room. Behind the cabinet in the secret room is a secret passage. There is a secret door... After that, it is enough evidence to destroy the East Palace," she said frankly without hiding it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yiwei took a step forward, then stopped for a moment, and asked tentatively, "What... is in there?"

Ji Wuyan shrugged, "The situation is a bit complicated, but His Highness might as well bring more people there. It would be difficult for His Highness to destroy the evidence in full view of everyone."

It had been kept secret before because it was worried that the witchcraft would be exposed and the Ji family would be forced to get involved. But now that the fifth elder has been captured and the formation is complete, Lin Yi is still throwing weapons. Ji Wuyan feels that if he touches the East Palace in this way, Lin Yi will definitely take risks... By then, Lin Yi will die, who can kill these things? Does the matter of conscience have anything to do with the Ji family?

It's risky, but it's worth a try.

The warm winter sun slanted down, leaving an exceptionally clear dividing line on the ground. Ji Wuyan was sitting upright, with half of her body bathed in the light and the other half in the shadows. Just like the impression Ji Wuyan gave others, at first sight they thought she was a gentle little girl, harmless to humans and animals. After getting along with him, he felt that he was independent and courageous... Li Yiwei once thought that this was all Ji Wuyan was.

Unexpectedly, the little girl Yanxiao sat there and told him calmly and calmly that she "had the honor" to go to the secret room under the East Palace Study... Did she treat the East Palace Study as her own back garden? Li Yiwei looked at Ji Wuyan, who had a matter-of-fact expression on his face, as if he was saying, "There is a particularly lush tree in my back garden." He suddenly understood why Li Yuqi wanted to arrest Ji Wuyan, as if he was the one who killed his father. While facing many embarrassments, he also hired assassins to assassinate him.

If it were him, he would have sent someone to kill him to save his worries.

It's just... Li Yiwei looked at Ji Wuyan, and his eyes suddenly became more scrutinizing. After a while, he smiled suddenly, and calmly fell back into the big nanmu chair, dusting off the part of his robe that was soaked with tea, so that he could rest on it. The back of the chair smiled lazily. At that moment, the royal heir's grace and pride were finally no longer concealed, and even his eyes became sharp.

He lowered his eyebrows, straightened the tea cup that had fallen on the table, and then looked at Ji Wuyan, "Miss Ji said so confidently that she will definitely win, but if the girl wants to deal with Dong Gong, she can just tell the third master about it directly." Yes...I think the third master should also know. But the reason why you have stood still so far...I can't figure it out. If Miss Ji doesn't mind, can you explain it to me?"

Ji Wuyan turned his head to look at him, his face expressionless and he didn't say anything.

Their eyes met. After all, Li Yiwei, who was expecting more, was defeated first. He took the opportunity to pour himself tea and avoided looking. After smiling, he explained, "Miss Ji also knows. Just lead the people in." Even if I were to do something like this in the East Palace, it would be an act of overstepping the bounds of etiquette. If the prince wants to punish me based on this, I would be wrong. Therefore, it is normal for me to have concerns."

Ji Wuyan nodded silently, and after a while, he smiled suddenly, "The daughter of the people is not going to deal with the East Palace, and the Ning family does not have a strong relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. If we take action rashly, we will definitely be counterattacked by the Bian family, and both sides will suffer... The harm will outweigh the good. "
