As the matter became more and more involved, it finally came to involve the third princess.
In order to gain the throne, he even colluded with the enemy and sold out his country.
Extremely stupid.
In the end, all the clues were straightened out, even involving many things in the past.
The empress went from being furious at first to calming down later.
It only took a few days.
Later, several decrees were issued.
Everyone knew that the Third Princess had absolutely no chance of turning things around.
The biological father of the third princess was banished to the cold palace. Because the third princess was his own flesh and blood, his father did not abolish her status as a princess, but simply sent her to a very poor and backward place.
This also included her husband Jing Mu, who she was about to marry even though they were not married yet.
All other officials were dealt with seriously.
A major reshuffle in the court.
Chu Mu also felt threatened. Chu Ci's power was originally too weak, and she had been crowned king long ago. She only felt that Chu Ci was an eyesore because she occupied the position of Crown Princess.
Originally, the power of these princesses was evenly divided in the court.
But now look.
Those who were promoted to fill vacancies in various official positions seemed to be Chu Ci's people.
Moreover, it was Chu Ci who won them over when they had no status yet. They were very loyal to Chu Ci and each of them thought that Chu Ci was their mentor and could not be pried away.
But it was too late to say anything now.
At this time when some are happy and some are sad, the Dafeng Empire has reached another grand festival.
Lanterns were hung everywhere, shops were open until late at night, and many stalls were open until the next morning.
The largest restaurant in the imperial capital was even more dazzlingly lit.
Xiao Qi sat by the window of the restaurant, with a plate of snacks and a pot of tea, watching the various activities outside.
His eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a painting, and his eyelashes drooped, fluttering gently from time to time. He looked a little bored and tired.
He picked up a piece of cake from the table.
The white and glutinous pastry feels great on your fingertips.
Although the pastries here are not as delicious as those in Qiuyue Tower, they are more exquisite and taste good, and the view here is also very good.
Looking at the pairs of people walking outside.
Xiao Qi's eyes were filled with irritation. He took a bite of the pastry and let the sweet taste spread on his tongue.
At this time, a dinner was being held in the palace.
These princesses cannot be absent at will.
However, due to some regulations of today's festival, outsiders are not allowed to attend the dinner.
I couldn’t find anyone from Chuci, so I could only come out and relax by myself.
That is, I just had a plate of snacks.
I saw so many pairs.
Xiao Qi felt even more irritated in an instant.
Put the cake in your hand into your mouth.
He chewed the food, took a sip of tea, and sighed in his heart.
He said it was boring and was about to go home.
But before he stood up, another voice was heard.
"Isn't this Xiaoqi? When we invited you before, didn't you say you couldn't come? Why are you here again today?"
Xiao Qi frowned and glanced over.
I saw several people coming up the stairs one after another.
They are all young boys dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Jing Mu and Hu Tianhao were also among them.
The leading man asked with doubt in his eyes.
Xiao Qi frowned slightly, and the irritation in his eyes became even more intense.
He responded, speaking nonchalantly, his tone somewhat contemptuously, not taking them seriously at all, and said coldly, "I don't want to go to your appointment."
