Chapter 467: Chapter 374: I am the Sea King_3

When he got to this part, his voice paused; "Do I need to remind Earl Jingan personally? Should I let him spend an extra day or two in the prison of the Dali Temple?"

Upon hearing this, the Jingtai Emperor sighed: "There’s no need. In order to depose the Crown Prince, this level of momentum is already enough. We should at least save the Crown Prince some face.

Ever since I ascended to the throne, the Crown Prince has not done anything to offend me, and has regarded me as his father over the past ten years. I have let him down because of my selfish intentions to change the heir for the sake of my own flesh and blood. We should try not to cause him too much embarrassment.

Also, send a decree to Yu Shiyue, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments. Since Li Xuan has nothing to do with this case, he should be released as soon as possible. However, the case of the fire in the Inspectorate must still be investigated. Some people are so audacious, we need to find out what really happened, or I won’t be able to quell my anger."

Then he got up and dusted off his robe: "Let’s return to the capital. The matter of changing the heir has been causing trouble for two years now, it’s about time for it to be settled."

A look of joy emerged on Zuo Daoxing’s face: "Your servant has arranged everything in Beijing! Shangshu Wang also said that everything is set, waiting only for Your Majesty to return to the capital."

The "Shangshu Wang" he mentioned was Wang Wen, the Daxueshi of Jing Shen Hall and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Of course, I trust Shangshu Wang’s methods." A smile flashed in the eyes of the Jingtai Emperor: "Also, where is my son Jianji? How long until he can return to Capital City?"

"The second Prince has already completed the ancestral sacrifice at Fengyang, and is rushing back from Fengyang." Zuo Daoxing bowed deeply: "It is estimated that His Highness will be able to return to Beijing before New Year’s Eve."

Sun Jizong’s actions were faster than Li Xuan had imagined. Before it was even the Hour of Chen on the second day, Sun Jizong had delivered all the items Li Xuan wanted.

So Li Xuan promptly dusted off his clothes and strolled out of the prison.

—In fact, he couldn’t wait any longer, Luo Yan had a rare half day of leisure and came over to accompany Li Xuan. Yu Hongshang was also not feeling at ease about this situation, she came to the Dali Temple prison late at night after arranging all matters of the palace.

The situation was very awkward with the three girls making Li Xuan aware of what it meant to have a sword-like tongue and knife-edged teeth.

In the beginning, Luo Yan was targeted by Xue Yunrou and Yu Hongshang, but this Demoness Zidie was not an easy opponent at all.

"Miss Xue, ah! I mean, Master Zhang, I believe your Tianshi’s mansion wouldn’t let you get married, would it? Are they looking for a son-in-law? I wonder who would have such honor?"

"Your Highness Princess, the Clan House is currently discussing your marriage. Li Xuan has already been granted nobility, and he might not be suitable for them. According to the traditions of the Jin Dynasty, arranging your marriage could be an issue."

She plunged two figurative knives deeply into the chests of the two girls, and she lifted her tea cup in unison with Li Xuan, putting it down in unison, and then together pretending to scratch their heads in distress.

"See, even our intentions are exactly the same. Such tacit understanding, we must have been husband and wife in many past lives, right? Oh right, Xuan even wrote a poem for me about it."

Luo Yan lifted her chin, crossed her arms over her chest: "The stars of last night, the wind of last night, to the west of the painted tower, to the east of the osmanthus hall. With no rainbow phoenix wings to fly with, but a touch of telepathy in our hearts—"

Xue Yunrou and Yu Hongshang were so angry they couldn’t speak. Xue Yunrou was not as bad, but Yu Hongshang’s eyes became red. The way she looked at Li Xuan made him shiver, feeling that his thick resilience was on the verge of being penetrated.

Possibly realizing each other’s strong characters, the three girls stopped speaking afterwards. They all sat in silence, staring at Li Xuan coldly, making him break out in cold sweat. He could only try to quench his thirst by drinking tea continuously,

So when Sun Jizong delivered all the requested items to the Dali Temple prison, Li Xuan felt like he had received a pardon, he almost wanted to hug this uncle and give him a big kiss,

The reactions of the girls were different at this time. Xue Yunrou already knew, so her face was calm and her thoughts were steady.

Yue Qianqian was overjoyed. She hugged the ’Seven Orifice Illuminating God Pill’ with glee, as if holding this item was like having the whole world.

Luo Yan, however, held the evidence handed over by Lin Youzhen and was momentarily stunned. Her eyes then slowly reddened, and large tears fell like broken kite strings.

Yu Hongshang’s feelings turned from sour to sweet. She thought Xuan still cared about her.

These two mirrors, "Xihe" and "ShenChan", ever since she ascended to the heavenly level, her father the emperor had always wanted to obtain them from Empress Sun, but all his attempts had been refused by Empress Sun.

Xuan could have asked for better things from the Sun family, but he specifically asked for these "Xihe" and "ShenChan" mirrors.

However, when she thought of the line from the poem, "With no rainbow phoenix wings to fly with, but a touch of telepathy in our hearts", Yu Hongshang couldn’t help but grit her teeth again.

At this moment, Li Xuan, who was outside the prison, was accepting a brand new court suit for an Earl from Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue as the sky was just beginning to lighten. He put it on with a cold expression.

He looked towards the direction of the Forbidden City, his face filled with anticipation: "Is everything I asked for ready?"

Today was the 27th of the last moon. Due to the New Year, the First Hope Dachao which was originally to be held on the first and fifteenth day of each month, would be held today.

You can’t expect the ministers to rush to the palace for a meeting early on the morning of New Year’s Day.

"Everything is ready!" As Peng Fulai spoke, he handed over a list: "The Inspectorate and Jishizhong of Six Departments, a total of ninety-seven people, are willing to follow your lead, Qianzhi. Qianzhi, you must not underestimate your influence now, they are all enthusiastic and honored to know that I am advocating for you."

Zhang Yue asked solemnly: "Qianzhi, are you really going to do this?"

"If not, should we leave them to celebrate the New Year?" As Li Xuan spoke, he adjusted his clothing: "As for the Crown Prince, he naturally cannot be left, and the Duke Yansheng too, I can’t let a person like him tarnish the reputation of the Saint and bring shame upon the Saint. If I don’t give them a little payback, will they really think I, Li Xuan, am easily bullied?"
