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

Wei Ji was picked up by someone sent by Changfeng.

He didn't want to leave at first.

However, Changfeng conveyed Wen Qi's words, asking Wei Ji to be obedient and not act rashly.

As soon as Wei Ji heard it, he guessed that Wen Qi knew his plan.

Various thoughts collided in his mind, and finally, Wei Ji chose to listen to Qi.

People have already let him get in touch with his private soldiers, which are the most secretive force.

Wen Qi trusts him so much, he cannot let Wen Qi down.

Besides, he was not 100% sure that he could send that man back to Chu.

It’s better to keep a low profile and wait until this period of time comes.

Wei Ji was taken away, and Wen Qi had to clean up for him.

Although he didn't want to get involved in the fight between the princes, Wei Ji had created such a good situation for him, and he couldn't back down.

Of course, the same thing applies: if you can avoid showing up yourself, it’s best not to.

It just so happens that those people who were gathered before can now move around.

Even if we can't bring down all six princes this time, some of their supporters will have to fall.

There are so many important positions, it’s time to push your own people up.

Wen Qi didn't know what decision the emperor would make this time.

The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was relatively fair in his dealings. At least he punished those who made mistakes in front of him.

However, it is indeed difficult to punish the six princes for committing such a serious mistake this time.

Wen Qi was also waiting for the emperor's decision.

This determines how he will sit in that seat.

To Wen Qi's surprise, before his men could take any action, the imperial decree from the palace had already reached the six princes' residences.

I won’t go into the specific content of the imperial edict, but the result was that the six princes had committed a heinous crime by assassinating the crown prince, and they were all demoted to commoners and temporarily imprisoned in the prince’s mansion.

Wen Qi was surprised by the emperor's decisiveness, but when he thought about it, he felt that this decision was the most correct one.

If the emperor treats the six princes leniently, it means that the emperor cares about the princes.

As long as he is a prince, he can be treated leniently even if he kills the crown prince.

If the crown prince can be killed, does that mean the emperor can also be killed?

Especially since these princes had assassinated the crown prince and their crimes had been made public.

They had already cut off the normal path to ascending the throne.

But are they willing?

They will definitely not be reconciled.

If they were willing, the assassination of the prince would not have happened.

If they want to sit in that position, they will have to resort to extraordinary means.

For example, forcing the emperor to revolt.

The emperor probably thought of all this, so he didn't even wait for the supporters behind the princes to speak, and directly issued an order to demote the princes to commoners.

Even if they are unwilling, the emperor is a man of honor. Can they still make the emperor take back his order?

The Yuan Dynasty royal family also has a long history.

In the previous two generations, because of the influence of the imperial relatives and powerful ministers, the emperor had to consider the opinions of all parties.

But this generation of emperors was the most successful one.

Those ministers who were difficult to control were all eliminated by the late emperor in the struggles among the princes of the previous generation.

When the current emperor took over the throne, the late emperor finally cleared all obstacles for him.

Nowadays, the emperor seems to value his courtiers very much, but if he insists on having his own way, no one can influence his decision.

There were suddenly six fewer princes and six more commoners in the capital.

But Wen Qi didn't expect that there was still something to do with him.

The emperor actually entrusted the burial of the prince to him.

Wen Qi was a little surprised, but he had no choice but to take the job.

After all, he is the only prince who can do the job nowadays.

He couldn't just push the task onto his infant brother, could he?

I have to say, Wei Ji’s move was really powerful.

Except for him, all the emperor's adult princes were crippled.

It is worth mentioning that when the six princes were demoted, the male protagonist Wei Ying was in the mansion of a prince.

Then, he was imprisoned as a slave.

Wen Qi also used the system's monitoring function to watch the show for a while.

Wei Ying tried countless ways to get out of the prince's palace.

Even drilled a dog hole.

Unfortunately, he was caught red-handed by the guards guarding the prince's palace and was placed under even tighter guard.

In the surveillance footage, Wei Ying looked extremely pitiful.

But Wen Qi didn't have any mercy at all.

Maybe because he has been siding with Wei Ji for a long time, his stance naturally sided with Wei Ji.

In the plot, Wei Ying exposed Wei Ji's identity as a spy, and Wei Ji was sentenced to being torn apart by five horses.

Although Wei Ying hasn't done this yet.

But it can also be seen that Wei Ying does not care about the kinship between him and Wei Ji at all.

Wen Qi would not take the initiative to harm him, but he would not help him either.

Speaking of which, Wei Ying is now imprisoned in the prince's palace, and it is difficult to get in and out.

After about three months, the antidote may not be delivered.

It will be a death word by then.

I just don’t know whether the new emperor of Chu is willing to save him.

In a blink of an eye, the prince was properly buried.

After finishing his mission, Wen Qi wanted to go back to his Sixth Prince's Mansion and have a good lie down.

But he was summoned into the palace by the emperor again.

When Wen Qi saw the palace maid coming to invite him, he had a hunch that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in the imperial study, the emperor threw a bomb at him.

The emperor wanted him to enter the court.

Wen Qi was full of rejection.

In fact, it would definitely be beneficial for Wen Qi to enter the court at this time.

Even if some people suspect that the demotion of the six princes was related to him, he was the beneficiary after all.

But so what?

Now among the emperor's princes, he is the only adult prince.

When he was arranging the burial of the crown prince, many people secretly expressed their intention to surrender to him.

But Wen Qi didn't respond.

He's not in a hurry.

He did not have enough weapons, money, and soldiers.

The emperor is still in good health and can still work for at least another ten years.

Ten years later, his younger brother, who was now in swaddling clothes, was only eleven years old and was completely unable to compete with him.

He almost has a trump card in his hand, why is he forming a clique for personal gain at this time?

Is he dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor likes him too much, so he wants to find something to do?

Of course, Wen Qi’s unwillingness to go to court had nothing to do with the above reasons.

He simply couldn't get up.

The morning starts at five o'clock.

Even though the prince's residence is close to the imperial palace, he does not live in the imperial palace.

Plus, she had to wash, dress, and put on court clothes...

That means he has to get up at 4:30 at the latest.

This was almost the end of him.

Putting it down, Wen Qi felt more panicked than ever before.

He knelt down with a thud: "Father, please spare me!"

emperor:"……?"

The emperor was a little confused.

He didn't punish me just now.

After thinking for a while, the emperor frowned and said, "Xiao Liu, are you unwilling to attend court?"

"Father, it's not that I don't want to. I also want to share your worries, but I..." Wen Qi paused here, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.

"But what about you?" the emperor asked.

After thinking it over, Wen Qi decided to tell the truth: "I really can't get up."
