One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]
When he said these words, not to mention the officials, even Baili Qingyuan was stunned. The title of crown prince was the position of monarch. If he died one day, the crown prince would be the rightful successor. Did Jun Yi not have any thoughts?
"Jun Yi, have you decided yet?" In fact, Baili Junyi's ability was outstanding, and he was more adept at controlling people's hearts. He was a bit more courageous and aggressive than the crown prince, so perhaps he would be more suited to be the emperor of the Great An Country than the crown prince.
However, such a thought flashed through his mind. Even though Baili Junyi's mother was of noble birth, she was still a princess of another country. There had never been a son of a princess from another country who had succeeded to the throne.
With a resolute gaze, Baili Junyi's handsome face was filled with seriousness. "Father, your son spoke from the bottom of his heart!"
Finally, someone couldn't help but jump out:
"Prince Yi, is your proposal a bit inappropriate? Although the Feng family has given their proof, there is no way to verify those proof. All the witnesses are dead, and just a few letters from the Feng family is not enough for the crown prince to reverse the situation."
Baili Junyi looked puzzled, "My lord, I remember that royal father has never tried to convict the crown prince's brother. Since he has not been convicted, where does the 'fair and opposite' come from?"
"No, Prince Yi, you don't understand what I'm saying. The important thing is the evidence, not the conviction!"
"Whether there is any problem with the evidence is not up to you to decide. I'm not wrong, you are an official of the Ministry of Rites right? As an official of the Ministry of Rites, you are the one who is talking about what should happen in the Ministry of Justice."
"Prince Yi, you're trying to force your way through!"
"Heh, This King is forcing logic? royal father didn't even say anything, who do you think you are! " Baili Junyi narrowed her eyes, the aura emanating from her body becoming more domineering than ever before.
The official was forced to take two steps back. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he nearly died from anger. "Prince Yi, you're too arrogant. No matter what, I'm a government official. How can you be so contemptuous of me?"
The smile on Baili Junyi's face grew even more contemptuous. She cast him a glance and asked, "Court Official, what rank are you?"
"... Four... Fourth level. "
"Fourth rank?" Baili Junyi smirked, the disdain in his eyes obvious.
The officials standing at the side could not bear to look at the face of the fourth rank official. Their hearts were filled with sympathy for him: "You're a court official, but he's a prince. So what if he looks down on you? If you have the ability, go up and hit him, do you dare?" Do you dare?
You don't dare to be so honest and look down on me? Look at you, Prince Yi. It's good that he didn't directly trample you to death. They even pulled out a hair that was thicker than your waist!
The official held his breath as he swayed back and forth before finally standing firm. His face was pale and devoid of any color. He looked very pitiful.
Seated on her throne, Baili Junyi looked at her with a sharp gaze, and let out a sigh. Although she didn't say it out loud, Jun Yi was sure to be angry with him. It would be good if he could vent some of his anger.
"Alright, regarding the matter of the crown prince, we will hand the evidence over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation. We will discuss this matter later." However, the Crown Prince should be exempted from the ban first. "
The officials looked at each other, then exchanged glances. The Ministry of Justice hadn't even begun investigating the emperor before lifting the crown prince's ban on his feet. The meaning was clear, and it was obvious that the Ministry of Justice wouldn't be able to find anything.
After leaving the imperial court, Baili Junyi disregarded the surrounding officials and rode straight back to the estate.
When he returned to the pavilion, he found the two babies asleep, drooling and blushing. Baili Junyi shook his head and picked up his son. His eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Indeed, when he was in a bad mood, he would be in a much better mood after tormenting the chubby boy.
Shen Ninghua walked in with his uniform in hand. Upon seeing his actions, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. "Quickly put down the Psalm Chen. He was just tired from playing earlier and just slept for a short while."
"How could our son be so delicate? It's not like Little Treasure."
He treated his son and daughter like two extremes. Whether his daughter was a treasure or a rare treasure, his son was grass or something that could be found everywhere in the wilderness. One of them cried in pain, while the other struggled.
Moreover, the father and son were extremely similar in personality. The eldest wouldn't cry even if he was tormented. He had to stare into the dark eyes in an attempt to make his father submit, but even this pair of eyes could still stare for a quarter of an hour.
The older the better, the more experienced the better. In the end, the boss was unable to resist his father's gaze. His pajamas were still on and he fell asleep in her hands.
Seeing that his fat son was sleeping, Baili Junyi couldn't help but laugh. She gently and gently put him down, covered him up, and then dragged Shen Ninghua out of the room.
Shen Ninghua smiled inwardly. This father of his knows his limits.
When they reached the outer court, Baili Junyi changed out of his court uniform, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Ninghua, you have no idea how impressive I am in the imperial court today."
Shen Ninghua could not help laughing out loud, "Yes, how awe-inspiring and impressive?"
"Those people actually dared to use the identity of mufei to talk about matters. I've forcefully pushed them back. Even if mufei was someone from the Great Yue State, she was still a princess. How could they allow people like them to speak carelessly about her? royal father even asked me what I think of the crown prince, what do you think I should say? "
"Ah, how so?" Shen Ninghua was willing to cooperate as she listened to him flaunt his skills.
"Naturally, I said that the Crown Prince was innocent. For the sake of peace, for the sake of the people, he endured the humiliation and the humiliation, and in the end, he even righteously destroyed his family. How could such a Crown Prince who was only for the sake of his country and his people be deposed?
Shen Ninghua's lips curved upwards, "You think this capital is not chaotic enough?"
"Anyway, we've decided to leave for the time being. It's better to be a bit more chaotic. Only when everything is in a state of chaos will the various powers be able to keep on fighting and maintain a balance. Only then will royal father be able to control the imperial court.
Shen Ninghua nodded. "The Third Prince has always been short-sighted, and ever since he had married Bu Tinghe, he had relied entirely on the Great Yue State's support. He also didn't think that the Great Yue State would be so easy to deal with, it's like a wolf, and a hungry wolf at that."
"He is too focused on being happy. How could he possibly think of doing all of this? Right now, he is the happiest person in the entire imperial court."
"Ever since returning from the expedition to the northwest, the Second Prince had become much quieter and devoted himself to being a filial son. Even in the imperial court, he spoke very little, as if he had lost all confidence due to the humiliation."
At the mention of the Second Prince, Baili Jinchuan, Baili Junyi's face hardened, "Baili Jinchuan …" In the past, I didn't have any scruples towards him, because his self-righteous and headstrong character really makes it difficult to achieve great things. But now, it's different. What I'm worried about the most is him. "
Thinking about that man with the cold expression, Shen Ninghua's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. "If we leave, the powers in the capital must pay more attention to him. I feel that he's too dangerous."
"Yes, I will make the arrangements." Baili Junyi nodded. "There's also the Crown Prince. The timing of our rebellion is impressive, but there's definitely something fishy going on."
Shen Ninghua slightly frowned, "This matter is too suspicious, just who did the poison that Zhao Huiying drank from? The Zhao Family's death in the Sky Prison is even more puzzling, what kind of place is the Sky Prison? It can be said that its defense is only second to the Imperial Palace, how could it be easy to poison it?"
"This is also something I haven't been able to figure out for a long time, and I had someone investigate secretly, but they didn't find any clues at all." This is the strangest part. "
Shen Ninghua sighed, "Looks like we still have a lot of things to do before we leave. Even if we leave now, we won't be able to rest at ease."
"Yes."
A few days later, the Ministry of Justice's investigation into the conspiracy was sent to Baili Qingfeng's case, "You said that the evidence provided by the Feng family is all true?"
The Minister of Justice knelt on the ground and said stiffly, "Yes, Your Majesty. The time of writing those letters was indeed correct, and it was also the empress's handwriting. This humble subject has interrogated the guards and palace servants by the crown prince's side.
As he said this, he felt guilty. After all, the things he had investigated were all evidence, but there were very few things that could be proven. If he just relied on these things to prove that the crown prince was innocent, that would be a bit far-fetched.
However, Baili Junyi didn't seem to understand. "Fine. Since your investigation proves that the crown prince is innocent, then it means that I'm not mistaken. You can withdraw."
The Minister of Justice's heart relaxed and he quickly retreated out of the room. Only after exiting the hall did he feel his legs go soft. He raised his sleeves to wipe his cold sweat. He was completely unable to investigate anything and could only rely on his guesses to send a report. Fortunately, he guessed correctly what the Emperor was thinking.
As soon as the Ministry of Justice's conclusion was out, the Third Prince angrily smashed the study room.
"Father, are you mad? How obvious is the crown prince's plot? He actually managed to turn things around with just his sharp mouth! "Damn it, this is really damn it!"
Prince An sat to the side and waited for him to finish before he opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, why are you so angry?"
The third prince sat down on the other side in indignation, "How can I not be angry? We've finally managed to restore the crown prince's reputation. And judging from father's words, it seems like the crown prince's reputation will be restored in just two days!"
Prince An smiled in a rather secretive manner, "Third Prince, you said that you accidentally broke a mirror. Even if it was stuck back on itself, would it still remain as it was before?"
