The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

The discussion on suppressing the rebellion lasted for nearly an hour. After that, Wen Jin left the palace and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wei Yun came quickly and reported respectfully: "Master, the spies sent out have news."

Wen Jin's expression changed.

"The eldest prince should have gone to Chu."

Chu.

Wen Jin walked towards the courtyard without saying a word, his eyebrows were calm, and his voice was so light that no emotion could be heard: "Has Chu recently had anything special happen?"

"I heard that the sixteenth prince of Chu, who was regarded as the son of God, was poisoned. The emperor of Chu posted the imperial edict all over the world, but no one could decipher it."

The imperial edict was posted all over the world. This matter was no longer a secret. As long as the spies approached that direction, they would know about it.

Wen Jin stood in front of the window in silence for a long time before he said calmly, "I know."

"The people we sent to Jizhou completed their mission. The night before Xiao Chongshan returned to Jizhou, Madam Xiao died."

Wen Jin's eyebrows deepened.

The person who came to deliver the message to Xiao Chongshan was not from Jizhou at all, but a subordinate arranged by Wei Yun. At that time, Madam Xiao had not yet died.

The purpose of reporting the news was to allow Xiao Chongshan to leave the imperial city earlier.

Xiao Chongshan got the news and rushed back to Jizhou from the imperial city. The night before he arrived in Jizhou, Madam Xiao died. The time was just right.

After returning to Jizhou to understand the situation, Xiao Chongshan would be suspicious of the matter and then investigate the identity of the messenger and the truth of Madam Xiao's death.

But if Madam Xiao died, nothing else mattered.

Xiao Chongshan had to stay in Jizhou to mourn. Even if he knew there was a fraud, it would be useless.

Wen Jin stared at the window quietly, watching the sky gradually darken until the sky was completely covered by darkness.

If he thought about it, it was not difficult to make a plan without any omissions.

But why...

Wen Jin looked down at his hands, why did she have to get into trouble at that time?

The body was warm, and the blood was warm.

But the warm body gradually lost its temperature in his arms and became cold, and the bright red blood coagulated little by little, so dazzling.

It hurt his eyes.

Wen Jin's face was pale, and the corners of his lips tightened little by little.

Xiao Chongshan, Xiao Jinghan, Yan Chen, the Queen Mother, the late Emperor, and those accomplices who helped the tyrant to commit atrocities, all deserved to die.

All those who harmed her deserved to die.

Including himself.

He would definitely seek justice for her, and he would make all those who harmed her pay a heavy price.

"...I deserve to die too." Wen Jin murmured with a bit of loneliness and sadness in his voice, "I am also one of those who deserve to die."

After standing alone in front of the window for an unknown period of time, Wen Jin calmed down and went to the Duke's Mansion again.

The Duke's Mansion was no longer strictly guarded, and it was as if he was in and out of the mansion.

Wen Jin arrived at Yunqi Palace, walked up the steps, stretched out his hand to push open the door of the palace, walked in slowly, and tasted the taste of loneliness in the room.

The golden cage taller than a person was still there, and no one moved it.

Wen Jin stood quietly for a long time, walked into the inner hall, lit the candlestick and brought it out. The room suddenly became bright. He turned and walked to the hall, and ordered the maid in the mansion to get him a basin of water.

Wen Jin walked in with the basin of water, soaked the soft handkerchief, and began to wipe the golden cage. Every fence was wiped carefully and cleanly.

The attitude of cherishing is like treating a priceless treasure.

The gentle and jade-like Wen people, the calm and unruffled Wen people, the Wen people who always smile and make people feel like spring breeze, are concentrating on wiping this golden cage at this time, no one disturbs, and the heart is at peace.

…

On the fifth day of March, Xie Yunzhou led the army to the southeast, and the chief assistant served as the military advisor, and they selected troops to leave Beijing together.

Yan Chen stood on the city wall and saw him off in person. It was not until the army was getting farther and farther away and the generals sitting in front of the horses were getting smaller and smaller that the emperor's heart was completely relieved.

Finally, he stopped making any more noises.
