I asked you to save the villain, not to take him as your wife!

Chapter 267 Saving the Undercover Villain from the Enemy Country (31)

The news of the prince's death finally reached the palace.

When the emperor learned about this, he was furious.

There are many people who have the same idea as Wei Ji.

They immediately tacitly directed their attacks at the third prince.

Just like the tacit understanding in dealing with the prince.

There is only one throne. One less competitor means one more hope. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to kick someone out, one must seize it.

The third prince was also filled with anger.

His proposal to block the city gates to investigate spies was indeed an idea that killed two birds with one stone.

But the problem is that the spy was not caught, so his behavior became very suspicious.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured in an assassination attempt, and he sent someone to rush back to the capital to invite the imperial physician, but he was stopped outside the city.

The prince then died on the road.

The third prince must take responsibility for this matter no matter what.

When the news of the Crown Prince's death reached the palace, the Third Prince ran to the outside of the Imperial Study and knelt down.

This idea was thought of for him by the kind-hearted Wei Ji.

It is a fact that the prince died of his illness, and it is also a fact that the people who came to invite the imperial physician were stopped outside the city.

This is something the Third Prince cannot shirk.

As an aide to the Third Prince, how could Wei Ji not give some advice?

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is dead and His Majesty is furious. If you keep shirking responsibility, His Majesty may dislike you even more. It would be better for you to confess your guilt. However, it is not the crime of preventing the Crown Prince from seeking the imperial physician, but an unintentional mistake."

The third prince frowned at Wei Ji's previous words, but when he heard the end, he suddenly felt enlightened.

After some persuasion from Wei Ji, the third prince ran to the door of the imperial study and knelt down to confess his guilt.

The emperor was quite satisfied with the third prince's initiative to admit his mistake, and he was not so furious.

As for the third prince's claim that it was an unintentional mistake, the emperor naturally did not believe it.

He was once a prince, so how could he not know about the fights between princes?

He punished the third prince, although it was unintentional, but it is a fact that the crown prince died as a result.

However, compared with the crime of murdering the crown prince, the punishment for this unintentional mistake was much lighter.

At least for the Third Prince, it was not a big deal, at most he would just lose face in front of the other princes.

The third prince therefore trusted Wei Ji even more.

As Wei Ji also had contact with other princes, he didn't say anything more.

Wei Ji was just helping him collect information.

The third prince firmly believed that Wei Ji was on his side.

Otherwise, why would he help him when there was such a good opportunity to kill him?

Wei Ji gained the trust of the Third Prince, and the Third Prince also thought that the matter had come to an end.

But for Wei Ji, this is just the beginning.

What's the point of kicking out only the third prince? Didn't several princes participate in the assassination of the crown prince this time?

With such a rare opportunity, of course we have to kick out more people!

The capital was relatively peaceful over the next few days.

Of course, it's only calm on the surface.

Wen Qi knew that Wei Ji was secretly fanning the flames, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it all the time.

Now that the crown prince is gone, the fighting between the princes will inevitably escalate.

If any of the princes suddenly drew his knife, the situation would get out of control.

He has to have the ability to calm everything down.

So he was very busy, busy making money and busy smelting weapons.

But the peaceful days did not last long.

On the day when the prince's body was brought into the capital, paper rained all over the city.

There are six editions of these papers in total.

They revealed the evidence of the six princes assassinating the crown prince.

The contents of the paper are very convincing, and there is also testimony from witnesses.

The paper rain fell from the sky, but it pierced the sky.

This kind of thing is simply too absurd.

After all, when it comes to fighting for the throne, even though everyone is fighting fiercely, they still have to maintain superficial peace.

But this rain of paper simply tore off the fig leaf.

Of course, this is not the most crucial thing. The most crucial thing is assassinating the prince, which is a serious crime.

The Crown Prince's mother's family is not a pushover either.

In addition, supporters of other princes will also make a move.

In this wave, the one who had the biggest headache was not anyone else, but the emperor.

Assassinating the prince is a serious crime and should be severely punished.

It is said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but when members of the royal family commit serious crimes, very few of them are actually beheaded.

Being demoted to a commoner and imprisoned is the greatest punishment.

But the crown prince died, and six other princes were involved in the assassination. If they were all demoted to commoners and imprisoned, the emperor would suddenly lose seven sons.

The emperor felt that he was still young.

But he himself felt it was useless.

Concubines in the harem rarely get pregnant. This is the bloody reality.

The most important thing is that six princes were demoted and imprisoned. Where is the face of the royal family?

This time the emperor was truly furious, even angrier than when he learned that the prince had died.

Compared to the emperor's anger, the six princes were more panicked.

There is no doubt that this matter was promoted by Wei Ji.

Maybe he is more approachable.

Several princes trusted him quite a bit.

So, they all started spreading accusations of crimes all over the city.

When I was spreading the seeds, I saw others spreading the seeds too, and I thought they were all my own people.

When they found their own crimes in the rain of paper, the smart ones among the princes wanted to grind Wei Ji to ashes.

Some of the not-so-smart ones are still wondering what went wrong.

But Wei Ji is not afraid.

When the princes' men were scattering paper rain all over the city, he had already secretly hidden himself.

Wei Ji was not too worried that these princes would take revenge on him later.

They committed such a serious crime as assassinating the crown prince. Even if they were not demoted to commoners, they would at least be severely punished.

He could also use the credit of this incident to reasonably request to return to the State of Chu.

He dealt with six princes at once, how could that not be considered a great achievement?

He had no place to stay in the Yuan Dynasty, and no one could object to his return to Chu.

When he returns to Chu, that person will probably want to know the details of the Yuan Dynasty royal family.

At that time, he can find an opportunity to send that person to the west!

Killing seven birds with one stone is really great.

Wen Qi was also shocked by Wei Ji's ability to stir up trouble.

This, this, this...what a tough guy!

He felt that if Wei Ying had not informed on the plot, Wei Ji would have been able to cut off the Yuan Dynasty royal family.

After checking Wei Ji's situation through the system, Wen Qi found out that he was fine, just hiding. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

But hiding in the capital is not safe enough.

Wen Qi sent a letter to Chang Feng as quickly as possible, asking Chang Feng to take Wei Ji to the place where he trained his private soldiers.

Moreover, he specifically instructed that Wei Ji must not be allowed to leave.

Wen Qi was worried that Wei Ji would take this opportunity to return to Chu and assassinate the new emperor of Chu.

That's another male protagonist.

Although he doesn't have many scenes, he still has the aura of a leading actor.

When the villain fights the hero, no matter how you look at it, the villain should be the one who dies.

Wen Qi would never allow Wei Ji to take risks.

If it were before, Wen Qi wouldn’t be so worried.

But now it's different.

After all, Wei Ji is really too brave.
