The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 41: The Little Puppet Emperor (7)
Jiang Yueshu was confused: "?"
Her face instantly turned red: "Brother cum, do you like me?"
Jicheng nodded and said matter-of-factly: "We are childhood sweethearts, right? Shouldn't I like you?"
Jiang Yueshu nodded and shook her head: "Y-should... eh?"
What seems to be wrong with these words?
She thought for a while and finally found an argument: "But it's brother Yu Zhi that I like?"
Jicheng asked her: "Li Yuzhi knows about our engagement, what does he think?"
Jiang Yueshu blushed and said, "He said he was willing to wait for me..."
Jicheng: "Oh."
"Then let him stop waiting," he couldn't help but yawn again, and said in a cold tone, "He has no chance."
Jiang Yueshu was a little anxious: "Brother Jie, I'm serious! Please!"
Jicheng's expression suddenly brightened: "Do you really like him?"
Jiang Yueshu nodded vigorously.
"He really likes you too?"
Jiang Yueshu nodded vigorously again.
"Must you marry him?"
Jiang Yueshu nodded vigorously again.
"Okay," Jicheng sighed, "Although I don't want to take the initiative to break off the engagement, there is still a way for you to be together."
Jiang Yueshu's face showed excitement, and Jicheng uttered two words: "Elope."
The excited expression on Jiang Yueshu's face solidified: "Elope?"
Jicheng nodded: "Don't you really like each other? In that case, why should you care about other people's eyes?"
He further advised: "You can earn glory and wealth by yourself, but true love only has this one value!"
Jiang Yueshu's face showed a look of being persuaded: "Brother Jie, what you said seems to make sense..."
So Jicheng added fuel to the fire: "Actually, I don't want to see you marry someone else, but if Li Yuzhi can really give up his identity as regent and prince for you, then I will accept it and be willing to do so." Speak to your father for you."
Jiang Yueshu hesitated again: "But, but I don't know where to elope?"
Jicheng said: "If you are really determined, I can help you arrange this. The only thing is, you must not reveal to others that I am helping you in this matter."
He sighed heavily, as if he was really sad: "After all, there is an engagement between you and me. Even if not many people know about it, if word gets out that I helped the person I like escape from marriage, everyone in the world will laugh at me."
Jiang Yueshu nodded excitedly: "Yeah! Thank you, brother! Don't worry! I will never tell anyone!"
Jicheng asked again: "Then do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go and rest first."
Jiang Yueshu immediately moved out of the way, and did not forget to thank you again: "Brother Jie, you are so kind!"
Jicheng waved his hand, yawned and returned to the dormitory.
After entering, the eunuch who followed him asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you really want to help Miss Jiang escape from marriage?"
"Escape from marriage," Jicheng replied casually. "The old man just gave him a jade pendant. Jiang Li was very cunning. Li Heng only stayed neutral when he tried to win over him. How could he be so eager to marry his daughter off? No. Seeing that he never publicized Jiang Yueshu's engagement? He was afraid that his daughter would get on the wrong ship."
The eunuch said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are an orthodox member of the royal family, how can you be considered a pirate ship?!"
"If Li Heng seizes power and usurps the throne, wouldn't he be a pirate?" Jicheng said, "Jiang Yueshu is not smart enough to come to me to help her break off the engagement."
The eunuch understood a little bit: "So you want to coax Miss Jiang first, and then hinder her relationship with the Prince Regent, waiting for an opportunity to win her heart? In order to gain Prime Minister Jiang's support?"
After all, Prime Minister Jiang is famous for his love for his daughter. If Jiang Yueshu fights for her, he may really come to the side of the royal family.
"Then am I not just as dirty as Li Yuzhi?" Jicheng said sternly, "How can an upright person like me use such despicable tactics to win Prime Minister Jiang's support?"
Eunuch: "Yes, yes...then are you ready...?"
Jicheng said: "Send a message to Jiang Yueshu in the afternoon, saying that I will prepare the carriage, horse and silver for her as soon as possible for the elopement route. The carriage will be waiting for them at the South City Gate three days later at Haishi."
The eunuch asked: "What about the Prince Regent?"
"Li Yuzhi won't go," Jicheng sneered and threw the question back, "Do you think he loves Jiang Yueshu?"
Eunuch: "..."
As instructed, the eunuch handed the news to Jiang Yueshu before the palace banquet in the afternoon. Jiang Yueshu left happily and went out to meet Li Yuzhi early the next morning, presumably to discuss elopement.
As an upright emperor who kept his promises, Jicheng indeed prepared everything, and even helped them add a little more.
At Hai hour on the fourth day, Jicheng changed into casual clothes and left the palace, heading to the south gate.
At this time, the city gate was closed, and there were no pedestrians at the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city also received orders to retreat slightly, so that they would not hear the movement here.
The carriage prepared for Jiang Yueshu was already waiting outside the South City Gate. The driver was holding the horse and standing beside it. Ji Cheng sat outside the carriage and waited.
A moment later, Jiang Yueshu, dressed in civilian clothes, hurried over with a baggage in hand. She looked around, with a look of hesitation on her face.
When she saw Jicheng, her eyes lit up for a moment, then she walked over and whispered hello: "Brother cum."
Jicheng smiled: "Where is Li Yuzhi? He didn't come?"
Jiang Yueshu's eyes flashed, and then she said firmly: "Brother Yu Zhi and I were talking about Haishi. Now the hour has not completely passed, he will come."
Jicheng nodded and did not ask further, but changed the question: "So are you sure you want to elope with Li Yuzhi?"
Jiang Yueshu nodded firmly: "Sure, I like him!"
"——Who do you like?!"
The curtain of the carriage that Jicheng was sitting in was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man walked straight out of the carriage.
He was dressed luxuriously, and he looked like he was in a high position. However, his voice was full of anger at this moment: "Shu'er, I usually let you off too much!"
Jiang Yueshu almost bit her tongue: "Daddy, daddy, daddy?"

The person who stepped out of the carriage was none other than the current Prime Minister, Jiang Li.
Jiang Yueshu suddenly turned her head to look at Jicheng in disbelief: "Brother cum?!"
Ji Cheng had a bright smile on his face: "I'm so sorry, Yueshu, for not saying hello to you in advance."
——That’s what he said, but judging from his expression, there was absolutely no shame at all.
Jiang Li stood nearby with an ugly face, but did not speak - although everyone knew that there was no way he would let Jiang Yueshu leave while he was standing here today.
Jiang Yueshu looked at Jicheng with wide eyes, still sad: "So you really don't want to let us go?"
Jicheng's tone was gentle: "First, the main person who is unwilling to let you go is Prime Minister Jiang. Second, Li Yuzhi won't come. You can remove the word "we"."
He took out a page from his arms: "His reply to you yesterday."
The words in the letter are eloquent and sincere, which can be summed up in two points: first, I will not elope, and second, I really like you.
It's so naive that even Jiang Yueshu can hardly believe it after seeing it.
After reading the letter, tears fell down her cheeks: "No, this is not true..."
Jicheng was too lazy to discuss philosophical issues about love with the little girl anymore. He turned to look at Jiang Li and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Jiang, fortunately, Yueshu hasn't really left the capital yet."
Jiang Li said with an ugly expression: "My little girl was naughty and sneaked out of the house to play. Fortunately, Your Majesty was here, so no big disaster was caused. I am grateful..."
"Hey," Jicheng interrupted him, "How can you say it's just for fun?"
His smile was bright, and the light in his pupils was cold: "It's obviously an elopement."
Jiang Li was choked up, and even Jiang Yueshu, who was sobbing on the side, looked over in disbelief.
Jicheng was sitting outside the carriage, holding his forehead with a somewhat troubled expression: "Prime Minister Jiang, you said that my wife, whom I had chosen since childhood, was seduced and eloped by others, and was intercepted on the spot. If this word spreads, where will my face be? ?”
He sighed again and said: "Well, actually, I am quite a useless emperor. It doesn't matter if I am more embarrassed. It's just Yueshu..."
Jiang Li's pupils shrank.
Being as sophisticated as him, he naturally understood the subtext of Jicheng's words - elopements have always been looked down upon, especially since they are detrimental to a woman's reputation. Li Ji's words were almost clearly threatening him with Jiang Yueshu!
Jiang Li gritted his teeth: "Really? Yueshu is obviously just a little naughty and wants to go out to the city for fun."
So Jicheng took out another letter from his arms: "Hey, isn't this letter from Yueshu meant for Li Yuzhi?"
When Jiang Yueshu saw the letter, she screamed: "Give it back to me!"
This time it was completely settled.
Jiang Li had no room for relief and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty wants to marry Yueshu?"
——There was an engagement between them. In recent years, the regent has become more powerful. Jiang Li was not sure who would lose and who would win. He planned to stay neutral, so he suppressed the engagement and never mentioned it to the public, thinking that it would still be possible if necessary. There is room for operation, but now...
Jicheng: "Oh, that's not true. I'm not Li Yuzhi's kind of person."
Jiang Li and Jiang Yueshu: "?"
Jicheng Yangyang held the letter in his hand: "I would like to ask Prime Minister Jiang to do something for me. After the event is completed, I will destroy this letter and today's incident will naturally disappear."
Jiang Li asked suspiciously: "One piece?"
Shouldn't he lead troops to rebel against the regent?
Jicheng nodded: "One thing, I can promise that this matter will not harm Daning Guozuo, nor will it harm the Prime Minister's Mansion."
——Although I don’t trust Jicheng’s promise very much, his actions today were almost all scheming, leaving no room for counterattack.
With his weakness under control, Jiang Li had no choice but to nod: "What does Your Majesty want me to do?"
Jicheng smiled: "Kill someone."
