Chapter 374: Restrain Liao Yunfei and Test His Reaction
"Set things right?" A sneer flashed in the emperor's eyes. "Princess Yue, the real way to set things right does not lie in Ji Chuhe, but in you."
Ji Qingyuan was stunned for a moment before she realized what the emperor meant, and she felt a surge of fear in her heart.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am only thinking about your best interests."
The emperor said nothing.
At this point, the emperor basically knew everything he wanted to know.
He didn't have time to waste with Ji Qingyuan anymore, so he got up and left.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Ji Qingyuan called out twice anxiously, but the emperor didn't even turn his head.
Watching the emperor's figure disappear from her sight, she collapsed to the ground.
What did the emperor mean by that just now?
It took her a while to react!
"Ji Qingyuan, you are such a fool. Now you have done something that backfired! Not only did you fail to implicate Ji Chuhe, but you also got yourself involved!"
"But what can I do? The emperor must think that the situation has changed because of my marriage! That's why he said what he just said!"
The more Ji Qingyuan thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
If she hadn't said the last sentence, perhaps the emperor wouldn't have thought of this!
It’s all her fault. She was too eager to get rid of Ji Chuhe!
What should I do now?
……
When Ji Chuhe returned to the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yan'an immediately came to her yard.
"Madam, how was the visit to the palace today?" Xiao Yan'an asked anxiously.
Ji Chuhe told Xiao Yan'an what happened in the palace today.
Xiao Yan'an was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Madam, do you believe that Ji Qingyuan really survived this life?"
Ji Chuhe didn't expect Xiao Yan'an to ask this question.
"With all the circumstances combined, I don't believe what she said is true."
Xiao Yan'an looked Ji Chuhe up and down again, "Madam, I think that compared to Ji Qingyuan, you are more like someone who has survived a lifetime."
Ji Chuhe couldn't help being shocked. He picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea, and then asked back casually.
"Why would the prince feel this way?"
"Normally speaking, shouldn't people who are reborn avoid the unpleasant things that happened in their previous lives and live this life better and more smoothly?"
"Your Highness is absolutely right." Ji Chuhe nodded in agreement.
"Even if Ji Qingyuan lived a new life, nothing would change, because she married Shen Chengjing in this life, and her life should be more difficult than in her previous life. After all, in her previous life, she married into the prince's mansion and became my prince's wife. Even if I don't like her, as long as she doesn't do anything excessive, I won't take the initiative to embarrass her."
Ji Chuhe was holding the teacup, a little absent-minded.
"Madam, in your previous life, you married a man like Shen Chengjing. He must have risen to prominence because of you and eventually became a powerful figure. I can't imagine what kind of life you led with Shen Chengjing, and whether he treated you well."
Ji Chuhe put down the teacup, lowered his eyes and hid all his emotions.
"Prince, the person who was reborn is Ji Qingyuan, not me. As for the things of this life, they do not exist to me. I am a very realistic person. I only focus on the present and this life." Ji Chuhe responded indifferently.
"Madam, you are right. I thought too much. Rebirth is Ji Qingyuan's business. The past life she talked about has nothing to do with us! Madam, in order to protect Ji Qingyuan, the emperor will definitely hide Ji Qingyuan's true identity. Will the case of Shen Chengjing continue to be investigated?"
"Yes, we must close the case. Otherwise, Ji Qingyuan's matter will not be over."
"If that's the case, the government office should report the situation soon."
"Correct."
"Prince, Madam." Mianzhu walked in quickly from outside. "Someone from ***'s mansion just came to tell me that *** suddenly felt unwell, so the birthday banquet was cancelled."
"There is no more drama to perform, and there is no point in holding a birthday party. Since the birthday party is not going to be held, Liao Yunfei will also come back."
"Madam, I saw Liao Yunfei and Shen Chengjing quarreling with each other. Can I use this incident as an excuse to divorce Liao Yunfei?"
"We can give it a try." Ji Chuhe was not sure what the result would be, but he could test the Queen Mother's reaction.
"Okay! I'll do it right away." Xiao Yan'an immediately stood up and left.
When Liao Yunfei heard that ***'s birthday party was not being held, she felt sad.
How can she go back to the Prince's Mansion in this state?
How can I face the prince after I go back?
That loser Shen Chengjing, instead of hooking up with Ji Chuhe, got her into trouble.
"Madam, this is bad!"
Liao Yunfei frowned, "What happened?"
"The prince said he wanted to divorce his concubine, and he even personally delivered the divorce letter to ***'s house."
"He wants to divorce me!" Liao Yunfei's face instantly lost color.
"Madam, please don't be anxious. This divorce letter is not stamped with an official seal, so it is not valid. Your marriage was personally granted by the Empress Dowager. Who dares to stamp the official seal on the prince?"
Liao Yunfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Even if the divorce letter is useless, how can I go back to the Prince's Mansion?"
Lian'er also became worried.
The prince has even gone to the concubine's residence to make a scene. He must have made up his mind not to let the concubine return to the prince's residence.
Xiao Yan'an is still outside ***'s mansion and has not left.
*** claimed to be ill and did not see Xiao Yan'an, nor did he let Xiao Yan'an into the mansion.
Xiao Yan'an had no intention of entering the mansion; he just came to deliver the divorce letter.
However, no one dared to accept his divorce letter, and there was a long struggle outside the mansion gate.
The roadside was crowded with people watching the excitement.
"I've heard for a long time that the prince was not willing to marry this concubine, but it was this concubine who insisted on marrying the prince. Now that something like this has happened, it would be strange if the prince didn't divorce her."
"She was the one who had an affair with Shen Chengjing, and the prince saw it with his own eyes. Even if she was divorced, she deserved it."
"This kind of thing, let alone someone of the status of the prince, even an ordinary man would not be able to accept it, right?"
"Yes."
Xiao Yan'an was still struggling with the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper had no choice but to unbutton his clothes and crawl out of them, leaving the clothes in Xiao Yan'an's hands and escaping.
Then he quickly entered the house and closed the door.
Xiao Yan'an threw away the clothes in his hand and slammed the door hard a few times.
"You guys are unwilling to help this prince pass on a divorce letter. Okay, figure it out yourself." Yan An took out the divorce letter from his pocket and called out, "Tian Xi!"
Tianxi ran over immediately.
"Where's the paste?"
"Prince, here."
Xiao Yan'an took the paste and smeared a little on the divorce letter, then turned around and pasted it directly in the middle of ***'s house door.
"Let's go." Then he walked away with a swagger.
