Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Ji Lanjin, Qingwan came out from behind him, stood in front of the people and said: "The person involved is here, wouldn't it be better to ask me?"
"Are you... the Ninth Princess?" She was dressed as a maid and hid behind Ji Lanjin, so no one noticed her. But now that she stood up from behind Ji Lanjin, everyone's attention almost immediately changed.
It all fell on her.
Qing Wan was not used to being looked at by so many people, but she calmly smiled and said: "The fifth prince is leading troops outside. He must not know that the ninth prince and I have divorced. Just call me Qing Wan."
Suddenly hearing the word "heli", the man behind her frowned slightly unconsciously, but did not speak.
"Really?" The fifth prince suddenly heard it and was slightly stunned. Then he looked at Ji Lanjin behind her, and then smiled and said: "Miss Qingwan just said that you were the person involved. I don't know, but this prince just heard
Is what you said the truth?"
The fourth prince also looked at her and said: "Miss Qing was summoned to the palace by my father, but the fifth brother thought that it was me who captured Miss Qing and put her under house arrest in the palace to blackmail Uncle Nine Emperors. Miss Qing might as well tell
What happened to him?"
Qingwan smiled faintly and said: "I'm afraid the fifth prince has misunderstood. The emperor has been feeling unwell recently. He heard that folk girls can make soothing incense, so he called the folk girls into the palace to help make incense. The prince and the fourth prince also know about this.
It’s not what the Fifth Prince thought.”
If he admitted that he had been summoned to the palace by the emperor at this time and was placed under house arrest, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that he had rebelled against the emperor and escaped from the palace privately?
Although she wanted to help the fifth prince, she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Moreover, it would not be a bad thing to be able to take advantage of this opportunity and get rid of the palace in a fair and just manner.
At least, the fourth prince had no reason to trap her in the palace anymore.
On the side, Ji Lanjin also agreed in a warm voice: "That's true. I didn't know the emperor's purpose in temporarily calling her into the palace before. It was only afterward that I found out that he just called her into the palace to make incense." Although he admitted this.
The emperor did not embarrass Qing Wan, but he did not deny that he was threatened.
A person with discerning ears will naturally be able to discern the true meaning, but as for how it will be transmitted afterwards, that is beyond his control.
Qing Wan secretly praised this guy's cunningness.
After throwing such a shock, Ji Lanjin said: "I came to the palace today specifically to ask for leave from the Queen."
The queen looked a little surprised and confused, "Your Majesty wants to ask for leave?" The emperor was mourning and there were many things that needed to be dealt with. He stopped doing it at this time, which was equivalent to putting everything aside.
"Exactly, I originally planned to remarry Awan in the near future. Unexpectedly, it coincided with the funeral of my royal brother, and the whole country was mourning. It was not appropriate to make such a big deal, so I decided to take her out of the capital and travel around the world. Wait.
After the new emperor ascends the throne, the wedding will be held again." Ji Lanjin looked calm and spoke indifferently, as if what was about to happen in the palace, the capital, and even the world had nothing to do with him.
Hearing this, not only the queen, but also everyone in the hall, including Qing Wan, were all shocked.
No one expected that he would actually propose to travel around the world at this time.
This is tantamount to announcing to everyone that the next battle for the throne has nothing to do with him.
