The Duke, who was sent back to her own courtyard by Ji Yunkai and was forbidden from wandering in her own household, was not only feeling wronged, she was feeling wronged!
If he remembered correctly, this was his manor, right?
Why was it that once he left, his subordinates would come and tell him, "My prince, the wangfei said to let you rest well, lest you lose your spirit in front of the sage tomorrow."
Looking at the square, bare courtyard, the more the prince looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became.
It was clearly the same as his old courtyard, but he just couldn't get happy. He didn't like what he saw at all.
He did not enter the palace to become a saint. Instead, he dragged Ji Yunkai back because of the unspoken words he had left behind. He did not want Ji Yunkai to wander around the courtyard alone.
Thinking of the withered flowers and plants as he approached, the prince could only stride towards the study.
He had to endure it!
Fortunately, Ji Yunkai was not going overboard, and she returned after an hour. Of course, she had no choice but to return. The emperor's decree had arrived, so she had come to receive it.
The imperial edict was given to the Duke, but the Duke had not come out to receive it due to shock, and only Ji Yunkai came out to receive it.
Seeing that the emperor did not kneel, Ji Yunkai naturally did not need to kneel down to receive the imperial edict. After listening to the eunuch standing there finish reciting the imperial edict, Ji Yunkai said "Long live and long live the emperor" and accepted the imperial edict.
Of course, according to the emperor's personality, it was impossible for him to only give the prince benefits and not take anything from him.
The emperor had said in the imperial edict that if the prince was frightened, he would take good care of it. There was no need to rush to the palace, nor was there any need to deal with government affairs.
With regards to the Yanbei Army, the Emperor will send someone to take over the matter in place of the Prince so that the Prince can rest and recuperate in peace.
It was very obvious that the Emperor wanted to use this matter of the Prince's "shock" to openly seize power and place people in the Yanbei Army.
"Your Majesty finally became smart once, but unfortunately …" The Emperor has underestimated the Duke and Prince Yanbei. " After sending the person who gave the order away, Ji Yunkai ordered his subordinates to count the rewards given by the Emperor into the treasury.
To be honest, Prince Yanbei's Mansion was rather poor right now. Previously, who knew how many good items had been stored in the Prince's Mansion, but they had all been destroyed in that disaster where Ji Xin had defected.
Although the palace had been rebuilt, and it was more exquisite and grandiose than before, the warehouse was empty. If it weren't for the things brought from the north to the capital, the mansion wouldn't even have any furnishings.
The items that the Emperor had bestowed upon him could be used to fill up the storeroom and be given to others in the future.
After taking care of the matters at the residence, Ji Yunkai took out the imperial edict and went to find the Duke.
After stepping into the Duke's courtyard, looking at the bare ground, Ji Yunkai silently mourned for the Prince for a second.
Think about it, your highness is really quite pitiful...
"Your Highness." Just as Ji Yunkai knocked on the door, she heard the Duke's low and serious voice: "Come in."
"The Emperor has given you an imperial edict." Ji Yunkai entered the study, he was no longer as nervous as she was before, but shook the imperial edict in her hand, and sat down at the side.
Thinking of the past, when she had entered the Prince's study, she had been like a primary school student entering the teaching office. She had not dared to take a single step further, not even a single word of error.
Look at the present?
It was like the difference between heaven and earth...
"Revealing benevolence and seizing power along the way?" The prince did not go out to receive the decree. He did not know what the emperor said in the imperial decree, but he could guess.
The Emperor's personality was just like that. He was narrow-minded, unable to tolerate others, yet he had to pretend to be magnanimous. It was truly embarrassing …
"More or less, the Emperor has told you to rest in peace and recuperate. You don't need to worry about everything else, including the Yanbei Army." His Royal Highness had sent ten thousand soldiers and horses into the city. Now that he had nearly forty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, the Emperor must be afraid.
Although the imperial government had two hundred thousand Imperial Guards in the capital, to be honest, those Imperial Guards were really just a show. They looked good, but in reality, they were fighting back.
If they were to fight, even two hundred thousand soldiers of the Imperial Guard might not be a match for the forty thousand men under the command of the prince.
With these forty thousand men in his hands, the prince could launch a coup at any time and take the capital away, expelling the emperor from the throne.
"If he could control the Yanbei Army, he wouldn't still be busying himself until now." The prince didn't think much of it and didn't take the emperor's decree seriously at all.
The power in his hands wasn't so easy to seize. If the emperor rushed forward to make a move, he would only fall head first.
"His Majesty is afraid, you're giving him too much pressure." Ji Yunkai saw that the King had confidence in him, so she put down the matter. She placed the imperial edict on the table, stood up and said: "Alright, the imperial edict has been delivered.
Riding in a carriage, returning and strolling around the garden for an hour, Ji Yunkai was somewhat tired.
"What's the rush?" The Prince waved his hand towards Ji Yunkai: "Come over, this king has something to say to you."
"What is it? Can't you say that? " Ji Yunkai did not move forward.
She wasn't stupid. Going up front was like sending a sheep into a tiger's den. She didn't want to send herself to the door.
"It has something to do with your mother, so it's not appropriate to let too many people know." The duke had kept an eye on him, and the expression on his face was extremely serious. Ji Yunkai thought about it, and still decided to step forward …
From the looks of it, the prince must have some serious matters to attend to.
However, she didn't expect that the moment she walked over, the solemn and serious Prince would reach out and hold him in his embrace, pinning him to his lap.
"Your Royal Highness, don't cause trouble." Ji Yunkai didn't struggle, she only looked at the Marquis powerlessly.
How old was he to have this kind of child's trick up his sleeve? Seriously …
"Nope." Didn't he say to go home slowly before he finished his words on the carriage? Now. This King has plenty of time, let's talk slowly. " He wasn't a curious person, but he really wanted to know what Ji Yunkai wanted to say at that time.
If he didn't ask about this, he reckoned that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight …
