Chapter 690: Showdown Negotiation, Refusing to Cooperate
Ji Chuhe was sitting on a chair. When he heard the noise, he looked up at Chang Ru, whose face was pale.
Chang Ru originally wanted to slap Ji Chuhe, but she held back. She secretly clenched her fists and looked at Ji Chuhe with a questioning look.
Ji Chuhe's eyes were very calm.
In the end, Chang Ru looked away first.
"All of you go down." She ordered, trying hard to control her emotions.
"My queen!" the nanny called anxiously.
They were extremely worried about leaving Changru and Ji Chuhe alone.
"Get out!" Chang Ru shouted angrily.
These people reluctantly retreated.
Chang Ru sat beside Ji Chuhe, tears streaming down her face. "Did I not give my sister more benefits? Can't I just watch me get rid of the thorn in my side, the Grand Princess?"
Ji Chuhe didn't say anything, but took out a handful of arrows.
The arrow is green.
"That day, the arrow was aimed at me. If it hadn't been stopped by someone, I don't know if I would still be alive sitting here talking to you."
Chang Ru smiled coldly and stopped pretending, "At first, I didn't want to kill you."
"How could you not have thought so? The Empress Dowager only wanted my father to go to Yancheng, and it was you who suggested that I go with him."
Chang Ru was speechless for a moment, "Ji Chuhe, you are indeed very smart, and nothing seems to escape your eyes. However, you can't hide anything from me. Do you think the Empress Dowager trusts me more or you more?"
"I don't care about the Empress Dowager's trust." Ji Chuhe responded indifferently.
"How is that possible? You want the throne! How can the Empress Dowager tolerate rebellious officials like you?"
"Madam Chang, where is the evidence?" Ji Chuhe asked in a soft voice.
"Ji Chuhe, you are so calculating! I am also part of your plan!"
"What kind of calculation is this? I'm just letting you get what you want. Marrying the emperor as his principal wife is better than entering the palace to be a concubine to the late emperor, right?"
"You..." Chang Ru looked at Ji Chuhe in shock, "You know all this?"
Ji Chuhe also got the news from Chao Sihai.
Chang Ru wanted to enter the palace and become a concubine.
However, the late emperor suppressed the matter and did not agree to it immediately.
However, according to Chao Sihai, the late emperor also had this intention, but the time was not right yet, and he wanted to get rid of Prince Huaiyang first before considering this matter.
At that time, even if Ji Chuhe did not take the initiative to bring Chang Ru and the Fourth Prince together.
Chang Ru will also make her own plans.
Ji Chuhe just added fuel to the flames.
Chang Ru only now realized how powerful Ji Chuhe was. She actually knew so much information. In front of Ji Chuhe, she had no secrets at all!
"Chang Ru, how about we make another deal? This time, it's a formal deal between us." Ji Chuhe suddenly spoke.
"What deal?"
"Don't cause me any trouble, and I'll save your life."
Chang Ru is very smart. Ji Chuhe doesn't want to waste too much time to deal with Chang Ru. If Chang Ru behaves well and doesn't cause trouble for her, she will never let anything happen to Chang Ru.
With Chang Ru's intelligence, how could she not know that she was actually trying to survive in the gap between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor?
Whether the Emperor defeats the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager defeats the Emperor, she will not have a good ending.
If Chang Ru rejected her.
That is, Chang Ru placed all her hopes on Xiao Wenxuan.
How sincere is Xiao Wenxuan to Chang Ru?
"You'll save my life?" Chang Ru couldn't help laughing. "Ji Chuhe, sometimes self-confidence is a good thing, but if you are too confident, it will become conceited. In the future, I will be the queen, the mother of the country, and my husband will be the emperor. How can I possibly rely on you? Moreover, I can tell you clearly now that you will never get what you want! If you dare to covet the throne, you are a traitor and a traitor, and everyone can kill you!"
Ji Chuhe stood up slowly, "Then there is nothing more to say between us."
Chang Ru looked at Ji Chuhe's departing back and clenched her fists even tighter.
She didn't know why, but she felt uneasy.
"Someone come!" she called out.
Someone came in immediately.
"Has the emperor left the court?" She was still worried about her father's condition.
"Not yet!"
"The emperor knows how important my father is to him, so he will definitely find a way to save my father, right?" Chang Ru murmured to herself.
Why did Deputy General Cheng, this idiot, identify my father? Can't he take all the blame himself?
Could it be that Ji Chuhe had resorted to some trick again?
Chang Ru was unable to see Deputy General Cheng and was extremely upset.
Previous dynasty.
Xiao Wenxuan summoned some ministers to discuss the matter together.
He didn't expect that Prince Huaiyang not only sued Chang Yi for murdering Princess Taichang, but also captured the key witness, brought back a box of treasures, and sued Chang Yi for embezzling military pay!
"Your Majesty, Chang Yi imprisoned the Princess Dowager, disrespected the royal family, and even dared to assassinate the Princess Dowager. These are crimes punishable by death! I beg Your Majesty to let Lu Hongru take over this case and convict Chang Yi! In addition, the case of Chang Yi's embezzlement of military pay must be investigated again. It is definitely not just Chang Yi. It is still unknown whether his subordinates have also embezzled military pay like him. Moreover, the person in charge of the investigation must be selected carefully." Marquis Wuyang bowed and said.
Now that he is the head of all officials, he naturally has to handle such matters properly.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Marquis Wuyang's proposal." Rong Yuchuan also stood up.
"This matter depends on what the Empress Dowager means." Xiao Wenxuan did not dare to make a decision on his own.
He also knew that there was no way Chang Yi could escape the crime he had committed.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager came to court to listen to government affairs for the sake of political stability. This is not a long-term solution. Some court affairs should be decided by the Emperor as soon as possible." Marquis Wuyang expressed his attitude directly.
Xiao Wenxuan was delighted.
Fortunately, it is a righteous and selfless person like Marquis Wuyang who serves as the prime minister, the head of all officials!
With the support of these ministers, would he still worry about the Empress Dowager controlling the government?
How long can the Empress Dowager hold on?
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is absolutely right. I also want to take charge of the government, but I cannot be unfilial. I am in a dilemma now." Xiao Wenxuan declined.
"Your Majesty, it was the Empress Dowager who took the initiative to return power to you. Your Majesty is not a young child and does not have the ability to handle state affairs. It is better for Your Majesty to take charge of state affairs as soon as possible." Marquis Wuyang was firm.
"Your Majesty, I think that since the Empress Dowager has asked Your Majesty to order Chang Yi to escort the Princess Grand Princess back to the imperial capital, and an accident happened during this period, it is up to Your Majesty to decide how to deal with the matter. Now is the best time to immediately order Lu Hongru to take over the case of Chang Yi imprisoning the Princess Grand Princess and attempting to assassinate her." Rong Yuchuan said again.
