Chapter 204, Wen Li’s Choice Ji Caiyan chose a simple dress and asked casually, "Do you know why?""It's probably for Princess Leqin." Yuan'er is not only Ji Caiyan's personal maid, but also one of the most famous maids in the Eastern Palace. Ji Shuchen has been the crown prince for more than 30 years, and his spies have long been spread throughout the entire palace. The emperor will not be on guard against Ji Shuchen. The East Palace’s spies will be the first to know about any disturbance. "Father and mother haven't come back yet?" Ji Caiyan picked out a silver hairpin that was delicate but not luxurious, and let Yuan'er help her dress up. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess have gone to the Bai Mansion and have not returned yet." Even though Ji Shuchen was still the deposed crown prince, Yuan'er still called him the crown prince directly. She is from the East Palace, so naturally she will not forget who her master is. Ji Caiyan stretched lazily, let Xiao Zhuzhu and Xuanwu go, and let them communicate with the animals.
The dragnet has been formed and naturally needs to be maintained. The little dragon wrapped around her wrist like a snake, and at first glance, it looked like a green bracelet. Ji Caiyan held Fat Tiger in his arms and walked slowly towards the imperial study. Along the way, all the palace maids and eunuchs they met bowed respectfully to Ji Caiyan. The palace maids and eunuchs were not stupid. The rumors outside that Ji Caiyan was a witch did not affect the palace. Everyone knows the importance of the Donggong family of three in His Majesty's eyes. No matter who it is, when seeing the deposed Crown Prince Ji Shuchen, they have to salute respectfully. Not to mention Ji Caiyan who also has a title. The journey was smooth, no one stopped him or searched him, and Ji Caiyan went straight into the imperial study. In the imperial study room. The atmosphere is rather depressing. The old and frail former prime minister and former prince's tutor Wen Li was kneeling on the ground with his face facing the ground. Ji Caiyan didn't hear what he said before, but she could guess something from the expression on the face of the emperor who was sitting in his seat. "Grandpa Emperor, Saint An." Ji Caiyan put Fat Tiger aside and bowed respectfully. No kneeling. This is the privilege of the three people in the Eastern Palace. After knowing that Grandpa Emperor had traveled through time from that era, Ji Caiyan always felt closer to him whenever he met him. "Cai Yan, Wen Li wants to sue you for murdering the heir to the throne, do you have anything to say?"
The old emperor glanced at Wen Li who was kneeling on the ground without looking up, then looked at Ji Caiyan with a smile. The voice was very stern. The plan to kill gods cannot have any mistakes. The old emperor is old and should have been caring about his grandchildren, but now he can only pretend again and again. "How can you start with the idea of murdering the heir to the throne?" Ji Caiyan's voice did not change. Ji Muan deserved to die, and she did not hide the fact that she killed Ji Muan from Ji Shuchen. The Emperor must also know this. To a certain extent, Ji Shuchen is the only biological son of the Emperor, and the other princes are all descendants of the tyrant before the Emperor traveled through time. Not to mention that Ji Caiyan had the right to kill him, even if there was no reason, the Emperor would not punish her. The moment Wen Li knelt here, he had already lost. "Mu An died at the hands of Princess Cai Yan before he could marry or have children." "In the past few years, Mu An's identity has been replaced by Mu Xiu. It was because Mu Xiu Shuyuan was afraid that the old minister would be too sad, so he went out of his way to comfort the old minister." "I beg Your Majesty to seek justice." Wen Li looked at Ji Caiyan with cloudy eyes. The kind look that Ji Caiyan saw on his face before now turned fierce. Ji Caiyan knew that this old tutor, whose students were all over the world, had already made his own choice. To be honest, Ji Caiyan was not surprised. He actually had no choice. Although Ji Shuchen was his student, because he was his only daughter, it was impossible for them to return to the polite relationship between master and disciple as before. Old Tutor Wen has nothing now. He no longer has the title of Tutor, no only daughter, no grandson, and only one granddaughter left. Ji Caiyan understood and respected his choice, but that didn't mean she had to give in to him. Her father had already given him the respect he deserved, but because of different personal choices, the results were naturally different. "Why do you say I was the one who murdered him? Ji Muxiu is much more likely to be the one who did it than me." Ji Caiyan raised her eyebrows. She was efficient and quick in her work, and even if there were any traces left behind, Ji Shuchen would definitely help her clean them up. She didn't think she would be caught. "Master Tianshi said it himself. Princess Caiyan is not only a witch, but also the murderer of my grandson. Your Majesty, please understand." Wen Li said as he pointed outside again. "Your Majesty, please give an explanation to the thousands of students and scholars in the world."
Ji Caiyan didn’t think he could give any explanation to the scholar if he killed Ji Muan. Wen Li was using his only and most useful connection to threaten the old emperor. "Even if Master Tianshi said it himself, there is no evidence. The laws of the Great Yan Dynasty do not specify that Master Tianshi's words can determine a person's guilt." Ji Caiyan spoke quietly. Da da da…… There was the sound of feet hitting the ground. Ji Caiyan knew the identity of the person without looking back. It’s the Heavenly Master, and Fan Tongtong, the non-mortal. "Princess Caiyan is indeed eloquent. This Heavenly Master has already known your crime through divine power, yet you still refuse to plead guilty." "She is indeed a witch who will bring disaster to the country and the people in the future." The Taoist priest stood beside Ji Caiyan and did not salute the old emperor. He stood straight, with an air of superiority even stronger than the old emperor. Fan Tongtong stood behind the Taoist priest respectfully, his face trembling with fear. Ji Caiyan touched the green bracelet on her wrist calmly and smiled slightly. "Master Tianshi, it would be better if you could provide evidence." "The witch is indeed a witch, she is stubborn and unrepentant." "This Heavenly Master does not have any evidence, but for Elder Wen's sake, I can cure Princess Leqin's foot." The Heavenly Master spoke in a gentle and elegant voice. Just like the elegant Mr. Xing that I saw in Feichai Village. "Thank you, Master Tianshi." There was no sign of excessive excitement on Wen Li's face. He just staggered to his feet and glanced at the old emperor. "Old minister, please retire." Wen Li no longer questioned Ji Caiyan and the old emperor, nor did he ask about Ji Muan's death. After staggering a few steps, he steadied himself, and without waiting for the old emperor's response, he continued to walk outside with big strides. There was no more ferocity in those cloudy eyes, only determination. He no longer has any choice and doesn't want to live in this world anymore. He felt sorry for his daughter, so he decided to sacrifice his life for her descendants. Let this former prime minister, who has students all over the world, exchange his life for his own. As for how the scholars of the world will spurn the Eastern Palace in the future, what does it have to do with him?
Wen Li thought, he taught the prince so seriously in the beginning, why couldn't the prince marry Zheng'er? Even a concubine? The root of all this seems to be the deposed crown prince again. Please vote for recommendations.
