After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

After leaving Liu Zhaoran's courtyard, Chu Huanyan went to the mourning hall again to offer incense and worship.

There were some other people in the mourning hall who looked at Chu Huanyan with complicated eyes.

Naturally, they had all heard about why Liu Qianran died, and now that they saw Chu Huanyan, they couldn't help but whisper.

Chu Huanyan just pretended that she hadn't heard anything and silently burned incense and paid homage.

The moment he inserted the incense into the incense burner, Prime Minister Liu and Xiao Jinzhi walked in from outside.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have met Prime Minister Liu." Others present quickly raised their hands and saluted.

"I'd like to thank you all for coming today. It's getting late. There are still matters in the house, so I'll keep you here soon." Prime Minister Liu issued an order to expel guests.

Others present were also very discerning and quickly said goodbye.

After everyone left, only Chu Huanyan, Xiao Jinzhi and Liu Changhan were left in the mourning hall.

"I wonder where Miss Chu went just now?" Liu Changhan looked at Chu Huanyan coldly.

Although he was trapped by His Highness the Crown Prince just now, he sent someone to look for Chu Huanyan, but he could not be found.

"Went to Miss Liu's courtyard." Chu Huanyan said.

Prime Minister Liu frowned quickly, "It seems that the guards at our Prime Minister's Mansion are not strict enough, and Miss Chu was able to sneak in without anyone noticing."

"Miss Liu is the daughter of Prime Minister Liu, not a prisoner, so why should the Prime Minister do this?" Chu Huanyan looked at the other party quietly, blessing her body, "If the Prime Minister is dissatisfied with this, then I am here with you." You apologize."

"Ms. Chu's words are serious, after all..." Liu Changhan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "You are the future crown princess, and you have a distinguished status. I am afraid that this gift will not be tolerated by me."

"My daughter and His Highness the Crown Prince have not yet been married, so they are not considered noble. And this time..." Chu Huanyan's eyes fell on the spirit tablet, "I owe it to the Liu family."

Liu Changhan narrowed his eyes. Since Chu Huanyan took the initiative to bring it up and already said he owed it to the Liu family, there were some things he could mention.

"I only have one son, Qian'er, and I really didn't expect it to end like this. Of course, I did something wrong in the previous things. I was confused and chose the wrong person, so..."

Liu Changhan looked past Chu Huanyan and looked straight at Xiao Jinzhi.

"I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince can give Wei Chen a chance to make a new choice?"

Chu Huanyan's gratitude is not important, and the Liu family can't get much benefit from her, but the prince is different. Now the third prince has completely lost hope. Since he made the wrong choice before, he should correct it now.

"Prime Minister Liu is joking, if you are willing to help Gu, Gu will be happy. But..." Xiao Jinzhi got straight to the point, "To be honest, just relying on Mr. Liu's kindness to save me is not enough to make Gu trust Liu." The Prime Minister is really willing to stand by Gu's side wholeheartedly."

"Now the situation in the court could not be clearer. Except for His Highness the Crown Prince..."

"In addition to Gu, there is also the father." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted Liu Changhan, "The Prime Minister should know that the relationship between Gu and the father has reached the point of death. No matter what, he cannot sincerely hope I will inherit the throne alone."

Liu Changhan's eyes trembled, "Your Highness's words are a bit serious, I don't understand."

His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to completely expose what he said, but on the Emperor's side...

"The Prime Minister has been in a high position for many years. Since Gu has already said this, why do you continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb. No matter how neutral you were in the past, you can't offend both sides, but now there are only two ways in front of the Prime Minister... "

Xiao Jinzhi paused for a moment, his peach blossom eyes slightly cold, with a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

"One, stand on Gu's side completely and help Gu ascend the throne. Two, stand on the opposite side of Gu and choose the father."

"Your Highness, why bother..."

"Other than that, there is no neutral option." Xiao Jinzhi said without doubt.

"What if Wei Chen wants to observe further?"

"The Prime Minister has been observing for so many years, did you really choose the right one in the end?" Xiao Jinzhi smiled coldly, "After observing for so long, the result is Xiao Rongxuan. How can the Prime Minister be sure? If you continue to observe like this, in the end You can choose the right one. Prime Minister Liu, once you miss some opportunities, they are gone."

Liu Changhan's eyes were deep, obviously thinking about Xiao Jinzhi's words.

He originally wanted to use this incident to sell His Highness the Crown Prince a favor, and then verbally choose a camp. But looking at His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude, once he makes a choice, there is no room to look back.

Does he really want to choose Xiao Jinzhi?

Looking at Liu Changhan who was struggling and hesitating, Chu Huanyan said: "Prime Minister Liu, in fact, you have no choice at all. How Master Liu died, you should be very clear in your heart. Even if you can let go of your hatred, don't think about what happened to him. He died in someone's hands, but can the Emperor really let it go?"

Chu Huanyan's words were like thunder, exploding in Liu Changhan's heart.

He couldn't help but look at her, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Miss Chu is really ruthless, and one sentence is enough to attack your heart."

That's right, even if he can let go of his hatred, the emperor may not be able to let go of his suspicion of him.

Regardless of whether he knew it or not, for the emperor, Qian'er's death was the biggest hidden danger. It was impossible for him to completely gain the emperor's trust again.

With the decision made in his heart, Liu Changhan breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his hands to Xiao Jinzhi and said, "I am willing to obey His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Jinzhi stretched out his hand to help Liu Changhan, "Okay, I can guarantee here that as long as Prime Minister Liu can help me with the next thing, I will definitely not treat the Liu family poorly in the future."

"What's next?" Liu Changhan looked at Xiao Jinzhi doubtfully.

The latter spoke in a low voice: "Do you know, Prime Minister, what day will it be in seven days?"

"It's the emperor's birthday. The Ministry of Rites has already started preparing for the birthday banquet according to the usual specifications, and the preparations are almost complete."

"I hope that Prime Minister Liu can resume the morning court before then, and propose to my father that Xiao Rongxuan be executed immediately."

"This..." Liu Changhan shook his head, "The emperor's birthday banquet is coming soon. Even just because of this, it is impossible to execute the third prince immediately."

Xiao Jinzhi smiled and said, "I know it, so after Prime Minister Liu proposed it, some courtiers would come out to object, and also proposed that Xiao Rongxuan attend his father's birthday banquet for the last time."

Liu Changhan's brows furrowed even more tightly, "But the third prince is guilty after all, so I'm afraid the emperor may not be willing."

"Then it depends on Prime Minister Liu. After all, besides being suspicious, Emperor Father doesn't like anyone to challenge his authority, especially in public. If Prime Minister Liu can take a tough stance and insist on executing Xiao Rongxuan immediately, it will If the father's rebellion is violated, then...it will naturally be counterproductive."

In order to intimidate the courtiers and maintain the authority of the emperor, Emperor Xiao would let Xiao Rongxuan attend.

Liu Changhan understood what Xiao Jinzhi meant and looked up at him.

"Your Highness, what good will this do to you?"
