The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

The next morning, Ji Weiyu brought the Chu envoys to meet the empress. The civil and military officials of the court were on the left and right, and the atmosphere was solemn and majestic. Today, Ji Chenghao and Ji Chengyin both came to the palace. After the ceremony, they quickly got down to business - in front of the civil and military officials of the court and the Chu envoys, Yong and Chu signed a friendly alliance.

Ji Chengyin stood aside, his face was visibly haggard and pale. He watched the officials of the two countries complete the signing process in silence, and his heart was filled with regret.

The queen mother lost power and the prince was deposed. He once thought that his chance was the best, because he was the queen's legitimate son and the most legitimate candidate for the crown prince.

However, the emperor chose Ji Weiyu. This decision was beyond everyone's expectations and caught many court officials off guard. Ji Chengyin was like hearing a ridiculous joke. He went from full of hope to despair quickly. He could not accept such a result at all.

He even knew how Ji Weiyu did it.

Now he understood everything.

Ji Weiyu must have colluded with Yong Changgong secretly. The two had reached an agreement early on. Yan Qing helped him fight for the crown prince, and Ji Weiyu helped Yan Qing spread rumors to help her ascend the throne as the empress.

Now it is just to get evidence of their collusion to prove that Ji Weiyu's position as the crown prince is legitimate. If the officials of Chu knew that His Highness the Son of God, who was respected by everyone in Chu, helped his duke to rebel and usurp the throne, they would definitely be disappointed with him.

No one could accept this fact, and his emperor would never agree.

Ji Chengyin secretly thought about how to deal with Ji Weiyu after returning to Chu. Officials from both sides had already signed the alliance. Her Majesty sat on the dragon chair, her voice full of majesty: "In order to show the sincerity of the alliance, Ji Yong promised to only support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Ji Weiyu as the crown prince. No matter when the emperor abdicates, as long as Ji Weiyu is the legitimate crown prince and the new emperor of Chu in the future, the alliance will always be valid."

These words were like a thunderbolt, instantly waking up Ji Chengyin who was immersed in his thoughts. He looked up at Yan Qing in disbelief, trying his best to restrain his shock: "Her Majesty means..."

"My meaning is very simple." Yan Qing smiled faintly, "The alliance was signed with the crown prince Ji Weiyu. If Ji Weiyu is the new emperor of Chu in the future, If Yu can be the master, then the covenant will naturally be invalidated, and Yong will no longer keep the promise of peace. My meaning should be difficult to understand. "

The Chu envoys looked at each other, then bowed and said: "Your Highness is the faith of the people of Chu. As the crown prince, you are the popular choice. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Yan Qing hummed: "I also believe in the vision of your emperor in choosing an heir. He must be considering the people of your country."

"Your Majesty is wise!" The Chu envoys took the situation into consideration. Even if they heard the Queen's intention, they would never question it. They bowed sincerely and said, "I hope Yong and Chu will be friends forever, and there will be no war within a hundred years."

Ji Chengyin's face was gloomy, and a cold color flashed across his eyes.

Is this a threat? A legitimate threat.

Use a covenant as a threat to ensure the throne of Prince Ji Weiyu?

It's ridiculous.

"The journey back is long. Please take care of your Highness, the two princes and everyone else. Have a safe journey." Yan took the wine cup from the tray of the palace servant next to him and gestured from a distance, "I would like to use this cup to see you off. I look forward to attending the coronation ceremony of your Highness the Crown Prince one day, and I will definitely send you a generous gift at that time."

Ji Weiyu quickly followed suit and picked up a glass of wine. Others followed suit. After saying some polite words, Ji Weiyu raised his glass and drank it all. He suppressed his resentment in his heart, "The little prince bids farewell here, and looks forward to the future. Meet Her Majesty the Queen again."

Yan Qing's tone softened a bit: "Ministry of Rites, please send the Crown Prince of Chu and the envoys for me."

"I obey your order." The Minister of Rites accepted the order, turned his head to look at Ji Weiyu, raised his hand and gestured, "Your Highness, please come in, and the envoys please come in."

Ji Weiyu really wanted Yan Qing to send him off in person. After all, after today's separation, they would be able to meet often in the future. However, now that he is the Crown Prince of Chu, according to the etiquette of diplomatic relations, it is absolutely unreasonable for the king of a country to personally send him off as a crown prince.

What's more, what if he sent him off?

After leaving the city gate, he still couldn't help looking back a few more times. He should give up or leave, and he should leave or go.

Ji Weiyu sighed, turned around and left the palace, straightened his back, and was unwilling to compromise the demeanor of a crown prince.

In the palace behind them, Yan Qing and Wen Jin watched them leave without speaking for a long time.
