Chapter 220 Mission Completed Successfully
Ye Xiaoman crawled out from the teleportation array under the bed in her room and looked around suspiciously.
After making sure that Ji Wenyi didn't follow her, she quickly closed the doors and windows.
He pasted several high-level defensive talismans on the wall and put on all the self-defense magic weapons.
Whoosh and hid under the sheets.
It was as if a ghost was chasing her.
I didn't even have time to take stock of the gifts I received from Ji Wenyi tonight.
She acted cold and ruthless in front of Ji Wenyi and remained calm even when threatened with death. It was all an act. She was essentially a coward who was afraid of death.
If Ji Wenyi really grabbed her and wanted to hit her, she would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy in an instant.
Holy crap, that's horrible.
When Ji Wenyi was angry, the austere temperament of a superior was simply amazing.
When she was pretending to be cool, she always felt that Ji Wenyi would rush over and chop her.
Fortunately, I ran back safely.
At night, Ye Xiaoman had a good sleep.
It's been so tiring to battle wits and courage with Ji Wenyi for the past month, but fortunately, we finally achieved the desired result.
The next morning, Ye Xiaoman immediately found Concubine Shu.
Move quickly and don't give Ji Wenyi any chance to react.
Concubine Shu quickly took Ye Xiaoman and went straight to the emperor's residence.
Ye Xiaoman had applied tear gas in advance, and upon seeing the emperor, she immediately knelt down, crying loudly with snot and tears:
"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seduced me. You must stand up for me, Your Majesty!"
After the emperor heard the whole story from Concubine Shu, he was angry, surprised and happy.
The emperor had disliked Ji Wenyi for a long time, but Ji Wenyi was the heir chosen collectively by the ancestors of the Ji family, and the emperor had no way to touch Ji Wenyi at all.
The emperor was worried. He had been trying to make things difficult for Ji Wenyi since he was a child. However, he did not expect that Ji Wenyi was very intelligent and scheming. His suppression was like a whetstone for the monarch. It not only did not defeat him, but made him grow faster.
After Ji Wenyi came of age, the emperor was half-sidelined and his health was not good, so he could no longer do anything to Ji Wenyi.
God has eyes. He waited and waited, and finally Ji Wenyi made a big mistake.
Today, the emperor attended court after a long absence.
After all the civil and military officials paid their respects, the emperor did not enter into the established meeting process, but instead asked most of them to go home, leaving only the royal family and important ministers.
The fewer people who know about family scandals, the better.
"The Crown Prince and Prince Rui will also stay."
Ji Wenyi and Ji Weiming both had indifferent expressions today, and their faces were a little pale.
When the two of them attended court, they did not stand in the same camp, but stood far apart. When they met, they did not greet each other. The atmosphere was like that of enemies.
The ministers who attended the court together noticed something and keenly realized that there was a problem in their relationship.
No one could find out the specific reason.
The emperor specially kept them, and they just responded indifferently. The two identical faces stood there with their eyes lowered, not knowing what they were thinking.
It was not until Ye Xiaoman walked in that they had special expressions and turned their heads abruptly to look at the entrance.
It was Ye Xiaoman's first time attending such a grand occasion, and her legs felt a little weak.
In other words, the politicians of a big country were standing in a room together, staring at her. Each of them was a powerful figure who could call the wind and rain, and they were very excited.
Luckily, she had already rehearsed it.
The emperor sat on the throne with a dark face and said angrily, "Gong Zhaoyi, tell me again what you have said to me."
Ye Xiaoman didn't look at Ji Wenyi and Ji Weiming. She pushed her wheelchair and stood between the two rows of civil and military officials. She presented the evidence that Ji Wenyi seduced her and cried about Ji Wenyi's harassment of her.
Her evidence is sufficient.
Dozens of people looked up at the huge water mirror above the hall.
——In the garden, Ji Wenyi's face appeared, high-definition and uncensored, "Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for a long time."
——Beside the Taihu Lake, Ji Wenyi said: "My father is weak and can't hold on for many more years. When I ascend the throne, you will be my only queen."
——Under the light, Ji Wenyi hugged him and said, "Abao, I only love you."
Dozens of people bowed their heads. Ye Xiaoman smoothed her sleeves, showing everyone the Jinlan mark on her arm. This was the mark that Ji Wenyi had personally branded, erasing the emperor's mark, for the crown prince. "I, your concubine, feel bitter. Woo woo woo—"
Ji Weiming watched with heartache, and he felt so heartbroken that he wanted to draw out his sword again and stab Ji Wenyi again.
The old ministers of the royal family, who had a calm image, all showed expressions of horror after listening to Ye Xiaoman's story and watching the video.
I really hate hearing about this kind of thing where the emperor has a green head.
I’m not going to be beheaded tomorrow for entering court with my left foot first.
Prime Minister Su was angry, disappointed, and secretly despised him. Fortunately, her precious daughter was not chosen by the prince.
The emperor's face turned black, "Prince, do you plead guilty?"
Ji Wenyi listened to the whispers around him. Except for the anxious emotional fluctuations when Ye Xiaoman came in, he remained calm and composed throughout the whole process, maintaining an elegant and self-contained demeanor.
Even when playing the video, he looked at the warm moments he and Ye Xiaoman had spent together in the past, with a gentle and nostalgic look on his face.
I really want to go back in time.
He looked at Ye Xiaoman's profile gently, "What Gong Zhaoyi said is true."
With Ji Wenyi's straightforward admission, the hall exploded and the discussion became louder.
Prince Teng and his followers celebrated with great joy, as if it were New Year's Day.
The prince's faction was greatly disappointed and sighed repeatedly.
The emperor raised his hand to silence the discussion in the hall.
He asked with great sorrow, "Prince, why did you do this?"
Ji Wenyi stared at Ye Xiaoman even more unscrupulously, and answered calmly, "Because I love her deeply."
"Rebellion, rebellion!" The emperor slapped the chair, almost pissed to death by Ji Wenyi.
The emperor angrily asked, "My dear ministers, how do you think the Crown Prince Hui should be dealt with regarding his debauchery in the harem?"
The old ministers of the royal family were in different camps and their opinions often diverged in the past. But today, both the Prince's faction and the Prince of Teng's faction had unprecedentedly consistent suggestions.
The evidence is irrefutable. This kind of thing is wrong and cannot be treated in a partial manner.
"Severe punishment."
"The Crown Prince is a role model for the entire nation. If he makes a mistake, he must be severely punished."
The emperor asked, "How should the punishment be?"
Such major events are usually judged by referring to historical cases.
The chief of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was the first to step out of the team.
He is Jiaying's man and has always obeyed Jiaying's orders. He observed the stars at night and predicted that a great disaster would come from the sky. He also collected prophecies from all over the country impeaching the prince, and tried his best to make Ji Wenyi lose his position as a priest.
How can we miss such a great opportunity?
"Your Majesty, the sacrificial ceremony is sacred. The priests of all generations have been of impeccable character. Only in this way can the gods be pleased and blessings be bestowed upon the people."
"In my opinion, His Royal Highness has failed in his duty."
After the Imperial Astronomical Bureau finished its report, the Minister of Rites, who was a member of the Prince's party, immediately stood up to oppose it.
"Your Majesty, absolutely not! The Crown Prince has always been the priest of sacrifices. How can you abolish it arbitrarily?"
What a joke! Ji Wenyi lost his position as a priest, which was equivalent to the emperor telling the world that he was going to abolish the crown prince.
