The position of Right Vice Minister is not an important one and can be said to be a rather important position under the Crown Prince.
He actually gave it to her on his own initiative? Wasn't he afraid that she would dethrone the crown prince?
Xie Yunqi raised a sickly smile at the corner of his mouth: "I just want to let Your Highness know that whatever you want, I can get it for you."
"So, don't reject me, okay?"
Chu Qingluan: “…”
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will help you clear all obstacles."
At this time, the sound of a bell came from a distance. Xie Yunqi finally looked at her deeply again and stepped aside: "The time has come. Your Highness should go to court."
"I'm in the mansion, waiting for you to come back!"
Chu Qingluan clenched the memorial, looked at him deeply, turned around and got on the carriage.
…
At the same time, at the other end of the street, Pei Yuan was riding on a pitch-black horse. His eyes penetrated the morning mist and fell on the carriage that was gradually moving away.
The scene at the gate of the princess's mansion just now did not escape his eyes.
Including the deep affection in Xie Yunqi's eyes and the princess's attitude towards him.
This scene deeply hurt Pei Yuan's eyes like a steel needle.
If possible, he wished that he could still be the little guard who could always be by her side. As long as someone dared to take a step forward, he would be able to swing his sword immediately and drive away anyone who had ill intentions towards the princess.
But now, he is a general and a foreign official.
Foreign officials are not allowed to get too close to the princess, otherwise it would damage the princess's reputation.
Pei Yuan stood where he was, his fingers clenched tightly. The morning breeze blew up his black cloak, but it could not blow away the bitterness in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the rainy night ten years ago, when Chu Qingluan, who was only ten years old at the time, squatted in front of him covered in blood with an umbrella, and wiped the stains on his face with a silk handkerchief, "From today on, you are the guard of this princess."
The girl's voice was clear, like raindrops falling from the eaves, "As long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you again."
Later, he studied martial arts hard and strengthened himself, and was finally promoted to be the princess's companion. He was allowed to enter the palace and accompany the princess to study.
Now that he has achieved success, he is no longer qualified to stand by her side.
"General?" The deputy general called him cautiously, "It's time to go to court."
Pei Yuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything was clear.
He silently turned his horse around and headed towards the palace.
"Pass the order down. Within three days, you must find evidence that the Gu family colluded with the Third Prince to assassinate important officials of the imperial court."
The reason why the princess was so cautious about attacking Xie Yunqi was simply because of yesterday's assassination.
If the case can be solved soon, then will the princess have less contact with him in the future?
But Pei Yuan didn't know that Xie Yunqi would never give up so easily.
