Chapter 503 The Princess Was Deposed
three days later
Di Ran took Ji Yunxie to the tomb of King Xianzhan, paid homage to Ji Yunxie's biological father Liu Jinghong, and then went to the Huguo Temple.
Only after returning to Beijing did I learn that the princess had been deposed!
Because the princess had caused such a huge disaster this time, although the Duke of Zhenguo had withdrawn from the court, he was a senior official during the previous emperor's period. The princess tortured and killed his grandson, how could this be tolerated?
So the Duke of Zhenguo joined forces with his former connections to seek justice from the Empress. At the same time, news of the Crown Princess' various heinous crimes were revealed in the capital, causing dissatisfaction among the court officials.
Most of the ministers in the court have their own factions. The Second Princess and Prince Rui's faction both want to bring down the Crown Princess. Now that the Crown Princess has caused such a big trouble, people from both factions feel that a great opportunity has come, and they have written letters requesting the dethronement of the Crown Princess.
The empress was not very satisfied with the princess in the first place, and this time the princess came back with a blind eye. How could an emperor have a physical defect?
Finally, the empress weighed the pros and cons and, under pressure from her ministers, abolished Ji Xuan's position as crown princess and sent her to guard the imperial mausoleum.
"So the princess is so useless?"
Ji Yunxie lay on Di Ran's legs, blinked, and asked curiously.
Di Ran gently stroked his smooth black hair and said nonchalantly, "It's useless, Ji Xuan is not a good person either. It's not a blessing for Dong Zhou to have such a person as a princess."
Ji Yunxie raised his dark eyes slightly and asked boldly, "If the princess is deposed, who will be appointed as the next princess?"
Di Ran's eyes paused for a moment, and he said slowly, "The Second Princess and Prince Rui are becoming increasingly powerful in the court, and they are evenly matched. It is still unknown who will take the throne of the crown prince."
"Who do you think will become the crown princess?"
Di Ran pinched his little face and smiled faintly: "The empress is in her prime, she won't give up power so easily. Anyone who becomes a princess will be a thorn in her eyes and a thorn in her flesh."
"No matter who is the winner, it is none of our business."
"Oh."
Ji Yunxie rubbed her hand with his obedient cheek, suddenly thought of something, and got up from Di Ran's legs.
"By the way, Yue, there is something I want to tell you."
"what's up?"
Emperor Ran looked puzzled.
Ji Yunxie pursed his lips and told him about the plot against him by Yan Chen and Ji Chen on the day of their wedding, and also pointed out how he would handle it.
"Is that it?" Di Ran smiled lightly. She thought he was hesitating about something.
She had known about this matter for a long time, and she had no objection to Ji Yunxie's handling of the matter, but Ji Chen, that guy, actually schemed against her, so she certainly couldn't just let it go.
The General's Mansion is a good place to go. This marriage must be successful!
As for Yan Chen...
Di Ran frowned slightly. She had let him go time and time again, but she didn't expect Yan Chen to be so extreme.
Although the attempt to kidnap Ah Xie failed, she didn't want to see him again, so she ordered her men to forcibly send him back to the Valley of Divine Doctors.
"Ayue doesn't seem surprised at all?"
Di Ran's expression was so calm that Ji Yunxie, who was feeling a little nervous, was stunned.
Di Ran glanced sideways, his eyes fell on his surprised face, and said with a smile: "What's there to be surprised about? You have my people by your side, what can you hide from me?"
"Axie, please don't misunderstand that I am spying on you."
"How?"
Ji Yunxie raised his eyebrows, hugged Di Ran's slender waist and rubbed it, with a smile on his face: "I know, A Yue is worried about me."
"As long as you know."
Di Ran's eyes were full of doting, and he said softly, "There is nothing that cannot be discussed between you and me. We can discuss anything."
"You are the master in the palace. You can make the decision on some matters. Just make your own decision. If you are unsure, ask me."
"This is your home, you can do whatever you want. If anyone dares to disrespect you, I will never let him off easily."
"Ayue, you are so nice."
Ji Yunxie’s black eyes trembled slightly, his long eyelashes fluttered, and he tightened his hold on Di Ran.
Di Ran patted his back gently, as if coaxing a child.
