Quick Wear: The Villain's Beloved

A month later.

Prince Xuan has found out the truth about the assassination that day. As expected, all the evidence points to Prince Qi and the Prime Minister's Mansion behind him, including the assassin who assassinated Prince Duan on the road, who also came from Prince Qi's Mansion.

The evidence is irrefutable and cannot be disputed.

Prince Duan seized this opportunity to completely suppress Prince Qi.

Soon, the King of Qi was demoted to a commoner.

Confined to the Prince of Qi's palace forever.

The prime minister and his family were imprisoned.

When Prince Qi fell, Prince Duan was in high spirits. Just when he thought the position of Crown Prince was in his pocket, someone suddenly reported that Prince Duan had rebellious intentions and secretly kept the dragon robe in his palace.

So after a search, they found a dragon robe in the secret compartment of Prince Duan's bedroom.

If you hide the dragon robe secretly, you will lose your head if you are not careful.

This is a more serious crime than the King of Qi's.

Prince Duan naturally refused to admit it.

"Unfair! This prince is wronged!"

"I want to see my father!"

"Let this prince go see the father!"

……

Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted, it was useless. The emperor was seriously ill, and Prince Xuan deliberately blocked him, so Prince Duan could not see him.

"Your Majesty."

In the study, Mu Qiu reported respectfully:

"Now the Prince of Qi is under house arrest, and the Prince of Duan is in prison. Both candidates for the position of Crown Prince have fallen. However, recently, the Prince of Xuan has begun to emerge in the court, and several ministers have praised him highly."

Mo Chen stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the snow scene outside.

After a while, he spoke calmly:

"Send a copy to each of the ministers in the court."

"Yes."

Mu Qiu accepted the order and left.

The thing to be given to the ministers is a piece of evidence. Prince Xuan first used his birthday banquet to frame Prince Qi, and then framed Prince Duan for hiding the dragon robe, clearing the obstacles on the road to becoming the crown prince.

The dragon robe was secretly hidden by King Xuan.

The assassination incident was actually directed and acted by King Xuan himself.

Even the Taoist priest who prayed for the emperor was arranged by Prince Xuan.

The ministers looked at the evidence that suddenly appeared in their houses, and they felt their hearts pounding, shocked and terrified. Especially after secretly asking around, they found out that they were not the only ones who received the evidence, and they became even more uneasy.

Who can do this?

Or...is this a test from His Majesty?

This is a big deal.

No matter who sent the evidence, they had to go to the palace to report the matter to His Majesty.

The next day, the emperor summoned Prince Ding.

No one knows what was said.

But afterwards, Prince Ding personally led the imperial guards and surrounded Prince Xuan's palace at lightning speed.

"Master, we can't leave."

The confidant covered the wound on his shoulder and said with difficulty: "There are imperial guards outside, the secret passage has been discovered, and a large number of imperial guards are guarding the exit."

Prince Xuan's expression changed.

Finally, he was no longer gentle, but looked anxious.

"What about the secret pavilion?"

The confidant lowered his head:

“They have all been destroyed.”

"Where are the secret soldiers?"

"All captured."

“Ah——” King Xuan yelled, his face ferocious as if he was going crazy, “How could this happen! How could this happen! More than ten years of hard work and keeping a low profile are ruined, everything is ruined!”

"Prince Ding, it must be Prince Ding!"

A "touch" sound.

The gate was knocked open and the imperial guards surrounded the place step by step.

Prince Xuan slowly stood up and looked around at the imperial guards approaching them step by step. His gaze finally fell on the tall figure in military uniform sitting on the warhorse in the front.

He laughed.

"Fifth brother, how are you?"

Mo Chen's eyes were cold, and there was no expression on his handsome face.

Prince Xuan looked at him and continued, "Fifth brother, you have great skills. I still underestimated you."

He had no doubt that this person had known everything he had done in secret, but had kept quiet until he thought victory was within his grasp.

Good trick!

What a good idea!

"Hahahahaha..."

He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed out loud.

Mo Chen's expression was calm, and his dark eyes were still without any ripples. After King Xuan had laughed enough, he spoke coldly:

"take away."

"Yes!"

The imperial guards stepped forward.

King Xuan did not resist.

He knew he had failed utterly.

-

Prince Xuan was imprisoned, but Prince Qi and Prince Duan were still confined to their palaces, because in addition to Prince Xuan's framing of them, the two were also guilty of forming a clique for personal gain, corruption and bribery, etc.

Therefore, the emperor did not release them.

Naturally, the position of crown prince would not be chosen between them.

[Host, the position of the crown prince has been confirmed. It is the ninth prince.]

This morning, the emperor dragged his sick body to court, and the first thing he did was to appoint a crown prince. However, the choice was beyond everyone's expectations. It was neither the invincible Fifth Prince Ding, nor the elegant Seventh Prince, but the still young Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince is only ten years old, and the Emperor's condition is...

I don’t know how long I can hold on.

The ministers were quite worried.

But there is no other way.

I heard that the emperor had approached His Royal Highness Prince Ding, but Prince Ding refused. He also approached the Seventh Prince, but the Seventh Prince only wanted to be a leisurely prince.

The only one left is the Ninth Prince.

"Alright."

Lan Qian recalled the plot.

"Although the Emperor's illness has recurred, according to the plot's destiny, he still has several years to live, so he still has time to teach the Ninth Prince."

If it really doesn't work, there's still Mo Chen here.

With him around, no one in Xuelan Country dares to invade.

[There is one more thing,] Xiaotuanzi said, [The heroine actually ran away secretly and has now left Shengdu.]

"Ran?"

Lan Qian frowned slightly.

【yes. 】

Little Dumpling also found it incredible.

[Didn't she and Princess Ningxi plot against you at Prince Xuan's birthday banquet last time? Later, Princess Ningxi suffered the consequences of her own actions, and the Emperor ordered her to be confined to the palace forever.]

After the birthday banquet, Princess Ningxi's reputation was completely ruined.

Although King Xuan warned at the time not to spread the news, how could it be kept secret with so many people present?

But within one day, the news had spread like wildfire.

Those ministers who had sons of marriageable age in their families and had originally wanted to marry into the royal family also gave up the idea.

Perhaps Princess Ningxi had brought shame upon the entire royal family, and before long the Emperor issued an edict confining Princess Ningxi to the palace, never to leave it again.

[Although you didn't expose the heroine at that time, she was always worried that you would retaliate against her. After Prince Xuan was imprisoned, perhaps she felt that she had no one to rely on here anymore, so she ran away? ]

"maybe."

Lan Qian did not comment.

I don't care why the heroine ran away.

【Want to chase after him? 】

The little dumpling asked.

"No need," Lan Qian said calmly, "Whether she knows the plot or not, it's not easy for an ordinary person who traveled from modern society to live like a duck in water in this feudal ancient society on her own."

In the original plot, she opened jewelry stores, rouge stores and other stores. The reason why she was so successful was because of her identity as a princess married into a foreign country and the help of the male protagonist.

Ultimately, it is the power that backs it up.

Now that she has abandoned these identities and is an ordinary citizen, her future life may be even worse than that of the confined Princess Ningxi.

[Then... let her go? ]

"Ah."

"Qianqian."

Mo Chen came behind her without her knowing, and gently put his broad arms around her waist, holding her in his arms.

"You're back?"

Lan Qian turned her head to look at him.

"Well," the man placed a kiss on her lips and smiled, "From now on, you can spend all your time with Qianqian. I will accompany you wherever Qianqian wants to go."

"Okay!"

"Tell me, where do you want to go?"

"Let me think... I heard that the peach forest in East City is beautiful."

"Then let's go."

“The waterfalls on the west side are spectacular.”

"also go."

"And to the south..."

"Both go."
