The best ring

Of course, as the Minister of Justice, Guan Zhuo could also ignore the opinions of others and insist on releasing Zhao Ke.

But doing so would lead to other consequences. He would inevitably become the focus of attack by Zhao Lun, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two. They might even use this as an excuse to deprive him of his position as the Minister of Justice!

In fact, Guan Zhuo was not a person who coveted official positions. If things had to be like this, he could do so. However, things had not yet reached the point where he had to do so. So, at this time, he chose to remain silent and wait and see.

"Pa pa pa!"

Applause sounded, and Zhao Lun walked among the crowd with a smile on his face and said, "Now, everyone has expressed their opinions. Obviously, three people agree to release the second prince, and four people oppose. Then, the final conclusion is already very clear."

Yuan Ji and Hou Yi still had gloomy faces and did not speak. This time, they lost, and they lost completely.

From what happened today, they can see that Zhou Yanfeng and the other two are completely unlikely to stand in their camp. They are not even willing to help release the second prince. Obviously, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two are not prepared to support the second prince. As for whether they will support Zhao Lun, it is hard to say at present.

But that is obviously not what Yuanji and others need to consider. They just need to know that Zhou Yanfeng and the other two will not support the second prince.

"Minister Guan, you have also seen the result of the vote." Zhao Lun looked at Guan Zhuo and said, "Then I will trouble you, Minister Guan, to continue to take care of my second brother and let him not suffer in prison."

Guan Zhuo nodded expressionlessly.

"So, does everyone have anything else to say?" Zhao Lun looked at everyone, as if he was the owner here.

"I have something!" At this time, Qi Kai spoke.

"Oh, what's the matter, Minister Qi?" Zhao Lun asked in a very kind tone.

After all, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two stood on his side just now, so Zhao Lun's attitude towards them was naturally much kinder.

"I received news that the Seventh Princess will arrive in the imperial capital soon. I would like to ask you how to receive her. Should we let her live in the palace, or make other arrangements?" Qi Kai asked.

Qi Kai's words made everyone slightly stunned. Then they remembered that because of the sudden death of the old emperor, Zhao Qi and the prince of Tianji Country had been cancelled by Tianji Country, and the Seventh Princess Zhao Qi had returned all the way. According to the schedule, it was indeed time for her to arrive.

As for how to receive Zhao Qi, this is indeed a problem.

Logically speaking, Zhao Qi had been married off, and when she came back, it would naturally be different from before. In other words, when Zhao Qi was married off, everyone did not think that she could come back.

Therefore, she could not continue to live in the palace as before after such a sudden return.

But Zhao Qi's situation was a bit special. Her marriage was unilaterally cancelled by Tianji Country, which means that she still had only one identity, that is, the princess of their Yanfeng Country. Since she was a princess and had not yet been married, she naturally had to live in the palace.

As a result, things seemed to be contradictory, and Qi Kai was also undecided, so he said this matter in public, wanting to see everyone's opinions. He was the Minister of Rites, and he was responsible for welcoming and arranging Zhao Qi.

"Seventh sister is coming back?" Zhao Lun was slightly startled, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

When the late emperor was still alive, if you ask which child the late emperor loved the most, the candidate is almost a no-brainer, it must be the seventh princess Zhao Qi. This is not only clear to Zhao Lun, her elder brother, but also to all the ministers in the court. Zhao Qi's birthday every year is a major event in the court, and it is the most lively birthday party among all the descendants of the late emperor. This shows that the late emperor loves Zhao Qi.

And Zhao Qi and the other descendants of the late emperor actually have a good relationship, or in other words, Zhao Qi treats all princes and princesses well. Although a little spoiled, she has never torn her face with anyone.

But even if she has a good relationship with everyone, there are still some differences. Among all the brothers and sisters, she is closest to the eldest prince Zhao Xuan, and the relationship between the two is the best.

It is precisely because of this that all the princes who have ideas about the throne, except the eldest prince, are actually wary of Zhao Qi, and even suspicious and hostile, because they are afraid that Zhao Qi will use her position in the heart of the late emperor to help Zhao Xuan fight for the throne.

And Zhao Lun is one of these princes.

Zhao Lun also had hostility towards Zhao Qi because of the relationship between Zhao Qi and Zhao Xuan. Although it can't be seen on the surface, he often asks Zhao Qi about her well-being, but in fact, in his heart, he has long had evil intentions towards Zhao Qi. When Zhao Qi secretly went to Qingyuan County, he wanted to assassinate Zhao Qi, but because of Wu Fan, he failed.

Originally, Zhao Lun was ready to find an opportunity to make another move, but who knew that Tianji Kingdom suddenly proposed a marriage proposal, and the object of the marriage happened to be the seventh princess Zhao Qi, which made Zhao Lun overjoyed. Once Zhao Qi left the imperial capital, she would not have any influence on the late emperor, and it was even more impossible for her to help Zhao Xuan in the fight for the throne.

Therefore, Zhao Lun strongly agreed to the marriage with Tianji Kingdom at that time, and even wanted to send Zhao Qi away as soon as possible.

However, Zhao Lun did not expect that after a round of twists and turns, Zhao Qi actually came back again, and she came back as the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom.

Fortunately, the late emperor was no longer around, so Zhao Qi's influence in the palace was naturally not as great as before. Zhao Lun didn't have to worry about her using her influence to help Zhao Xuan. Zhao Qi at this moment was no longer a threat to Zhao Lun, and he didn't care whether Zhao Qi came back or not.

"Yes, according to the schedule, the Seventh Princess will be able to return to the imperial capital in about two or three days." Qi Kai replied.

Zhao Lun thought for a moment and said, "Although the Seventh Sister married to the Tianji Kingdom, she is the princess of our Yanfeng Kingdom after all. She also left with a mission. We can't treat her badly. In my opinion, after the Seventh Sister comes back, she should be taken back to the palace to live. Her previous bedroom was always cleaned by my father, so she can live there directly after she comes back."

At the moment, Zhao Qi was no longer a threat to Zhao Lun, so he didn't mind. Making some kind gestures could show the brother-sister relationship between him and Zhao Qi.

Qi Kai nodded and looked at the others. After all, Zhao Lun was only a prince and not an emperor. Therefore, he still needed to listen to everyone's opinions on how to receive Zhao Qi.

However, Qi Kai's move made Zhao Lun feel very uncomfortable.
