Chapter 614

The third prince's personal guards stood at the side, not daring to make a sound. After being confined, Prince Jin had become restless. A few days ago, he had ordered his staff to kill a maid who was to wash his feet. The reason was because the foot washing water that the maid brought over was too hot, causing the atmosphere in the Third Prince's residence to become especially tense.
After a long while, the third prince finally calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Prepare some ink and pens. I want to write a letter of repentance for my royal father."
Since his eyes had already recovered, it was only a matter of time before his legs would stand up again. The battle for the throne had reached a critical point, he could not be left outside.
Even if it was a prince, he was still the son of his father the Emperor. There was no reason for the throne to land on either King Wu or King Yu, so he would try his best.
"Yes." The personal guard quickly brought the brush and ink over. The third prince was still flipping through the books.
The Third Prince had a happy expression, and when he saw that part of the banquet, he couldn't help but be shocked on the spot. The guard nodded his head, "Yes, and they even set fire to Grand Princess Yi De's body, but the Emperor doesn't believe it at all. He executed all the witnesses and declared in front of the officials that King Yue was his son forever, and that this fire was even directed at Grand Princess Yi De, saying that she deliberately concealed her identity as King Yue.
with the intention of confusing the royal bloodline. "
"Hahaha!" Hearing the actions of the King and Li Family, the Third Prince couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The King is really stupid!"
Grand Princess Yi De's status was simply too special, and as the Grand Princess, she supported the Emperor to ascend to the throne. Her relationship with the Imperial Father was especially deep, and unless she was tired of living, no one would be willing to probe the depths of Grand Princess De.
The guard quietly stood by the side with his head lowered.
Suddenly, the corners of the third prince's lips moved as his gaze fell on a certain date. The expression on his body instantly turned gloomy. "Eighteenth of the first month …"
"The Emperor has already decreed that Prince Fu and Princess Wen Xian will be married on the eighteenth day of the first month."
The third prince narrowed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he quickly laid down the paper and began to write.
Three days later, a thick letter of repentance was delivered to the emperor's table. In the letter, the Third Prince happily admitted his guilt from the beginning, and even expressed his extreme remorse. From the time when he was young, he had been reminiscing until he became blind and fell into deep thought in the darkness. His every word was sincere, and every sentence was touching.
He left the palace to visit the Third Prince's Mansion.
Mu Yunyao combed her hair in the bronze mirror, leisurely choosing which hairpin to wear. "Miss, the news has spread, saying that after the Emperor came to the Third Prince's side, he found the Third Prince crying while holding an old piece of clothing of the Emperor's. That appearance perfectly explained what it means to have tears flowing down one's face, and after seeing the Emperor, he was even more agitated.
Then, he fell off his chair. That old set of clothes was taken care of by the Emperor through the night when he fell ill many years ago. It was changed during the morning assembly the next day and was carefully kept by the Third Prince. "
As Jinqiao said this, she couldn't help but twitch her mouth. She didn't feel awkward when she heard it just now. Besides, the third prince could keep all the clothes he had worn years ago. He was thinking long and hard about them.
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but curl her lips. "Third Prince should be excited." "It's just that this excitement wasn't for the emperor's arrival, but because he finally saw the light again." Miss, it is said that during this period of time, His Highness the Third Prince did not think or eat, and that he had been regretting his actions throughout the day. He did not shave or change his clothes, and in addition to that, his clothes were soaked through with tears, making him look miserable to the extreme. The Emperor was very angry, so he ordered the servants who took care of the Third Prince to be punished. Currently, many officials were watching to see if there was any chance that the Third Prince's legs could recover. Compared with surrendering
The perverse and reckless King Yu or the upright and meticulous King Yu, they would rather submit to King Jin. "
Mu Yunyao selected a pearl hairpin and gently inserted it into her hair. After carefully measuring for a moment, she nodded in satisfaction. "Has there been any reaction from your side?"
"Reporting to Miss, the Duke Palace was very quiet at the beginning."
Mu Yunyao slightly raised the center of her brows. "Quiet?" "Even if he did not fly into a rage, the King should have thought of a way to deal with the Jin Emperor and not let him mess up his plans. Why is it so quiet?" It has been three days since the Emperor visited the Third Prince's Estate. Yet, he has only sent people to spread rumors. It does not seem like it is the Li family's style. " "Could it be that he felt that there was no hope for the Third Prince to fight for the throne, so he left?"
You don't seem to care at all? "
Mu Yunyao chuckled. "If the King is able to see the point of what you've said, then perhaps the prince from two years ago wouldn't even need to intentionally rope him in."
At this moment, Jin Lan walked in with a cup of tea. "Miss, a message has just arrived from outside the palace saying that an envoy from the Northern Frontier has arrived. They will arrive in the capital in half a month."
Mu Yunyao's eyes suddenly trembled and she hurriedly raised her head to look, "What did you say? The Northern Frontier has sent envoys over?"
"Yes." The last time the two countries communicated with each other was more than ten years ago. These years, the relationship between the Great Tang Empire and the northern border had been getting more and more tense. Especially in recent years, the Northern Tribe cavalry often harassed the border, causing quite a few people to leave and move to the nearest city to earn a living.
Every year, there would still be a lot of deaths. Of course, there were also a lot of deaths in the north.
The two countries had already become mortal enemies. Now that they sent out their envoys, people couldn't help but think of the Li family.
Mu Yunyao suddenly thought of something else. "Wait, half a month's worth of Northern Frontier envoys have arrived. Isn't that the perfect time to recommend the Crown Prince?"
"Yeah, I wonder if it will have any effect." Jin Lan nodded.
"If the envoys from the Northern Frontier Tribe are truly related to the Li family, then the Crown Prince's proposal this time might not be a success." As Mu Yunyao thought about this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Mu Yunyao's smile became even wider, "The Emperor knows this very well. The earlier we arrive, the better. However, the envoys from the north will need to consider this carefully." She and King Yue had planned to screw over the Li Clan and the Northern Frontier for a bit, but the northern border was a long way from here and it was inconvenient for them to send news back and forth. It was already difficult for the Third Prince and the Northern Frontier to contact each other, not to mention other plans.
