Xiao Chengyi said: "Are you blaming the second princess for taking the initiative and taking risks to save Ye Xiuchen?"
Wen Qiyu sighed and said, "I told her that Mr. Ye will be fine, but she just doesn't believe it and insists on going to jail, for fear that my sworn enemies in the court will not be able to find a reason to impeach me."
Ye Xiuchen stood up and said, "It's all my fault. I was the one who caused the second princess to suffer. If Mr. Wen wants to punish me, just punish me."
Wen Qiyu glanced over with a cool look and said, "Young Master Ye is really very capable."
I don’t know what method this man used to coax his sister into such a state that she didn’t even take his words to heart.
Ye Xiuchen lowered his head and said nothing. After all, everything happened because of him.
Jiang Ru went to rescue him, which was unexpected by him. He also didn't expect that this girl would be so generous.
And she risked a lot to save him. This affection is so precious that he must remember it.
Jiang Ru hurriedly explained: "Brother, I saved him for the sake of the overall situation, not for personal reasons.
The Queen Mother wants to use Ye Xiuchen as a hostage to force His Highness the Crown Prince to submit. I do this to understand His Highness the Crown Prince’s crisis."
With that said, he winked at Xiao Chengyi, indicating that it was his turn.
Xiao Chengyi echoed: "What the second princess said is true. Every mistake is my brother's fault. It is up to Mr. Wen to decide how to punish him. There is no need to take my face into consideration."
Jiang Ru: "..."
Why is this different from what I imagined?
Jiang Ru went to see Ye Xiuchen, as if asking him: "Is Xiao Chengyi really your brother?"
She has never seen a brother who deceives his friends like this.
Ye Xiuchen looked unconcerned. He was already used to it anyway.
Wen Qiyu said: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince has said so, then Wen will not be polite."
Jiang Ru's expression changed when she heard this, and she quickly protected Ye Xiuchen behind her: "Brother, are you serious?"
The corners of Wen Qiyu's lips twitched, and he seemed to hate the fact that iron cannot become steel: "Look at your future."
He wasn't even in trouble yet, so he was protected.
Wen Qiyu snorted, looked away, talked about business with Xiao Chengyi, and asked, "What are your plans next, Your Highness?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Abolish the Gu Palace."
Wen Qiyu's eyes lit up, he stood up and saluted Xiao Chengyi: "Wen, the people of Southern Xinjiang, would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Chengyi helped him up and said, "What are you doing?"
Wen Qiyu said: "The old customs of Gu Palace have harmed too many people. Although I have the intention to change it, I am unable to change it. Although His Highness is not from Southern Xinjiang, he is devoted to the people of Southern Xinjiang. Having you in this country is a blessing to all people in the world."
Xiao Chengyi said in a deep voice: "Without the help of talented people, even if I have the ability to do it, I can't do it."
Mu Yun'an said: "I know you guys care about each other, so don't say anything high-sounding. I'm almost starving to death. Is there anything delicious in Mr. Wen's house?"
Wen Qiyu smiled and immediately ordered his servants to prepare meals.
Soon, the food was ready. Mu Yunan looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed, "The food in Gu Palace is simply unpalatable. Every day, there are only green vegetables. There is not even a hint of meat."
Xiao Chengyi picked up a chicken drumstick for her, put it in a bowl and said, "I've wronged you. Eat more and replenish yourself."
Mu Yun'an nodded, grabbed the chicken leg and took a bite. He saw Chu Liancheng sitting beside him holding chopsticks but not moving.
She asked: "Why don't you eat it? It's not to your liking?"
Chu Liancheng shook his head and said: "I wonder how Yun Xi is doing? She has been gone for several days and there is no news at all. Is the Kongming Lantern safe? Nothing will happen, right?"
