Chapter 250 Decision
But the two had been in power for a long time and were strong-minded. They were not the kind of people who were indecisive or easily swayed by emotions. Soon, they suppressed their negative emotions with the self-control they had cultivated over the years.
The eldest prince knew clearly that the purple-robed envoy and Chu Ci were quite good friends. He immediately gave the purple-robed envoy a look that said "you go and tell him".
When the purple-robed envoy received the signal from the eldest prince, he was stunned at first, then he took a deep breath helplessly and waved his hand with a serious expression to let all his subordinates present retreat.
Then he calmed himself down, tried to adjust his state, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked as calmly as possible: "Can you tell me the reason?"
"You should know that this matter is of great importance. It concerns the fate of many people and also affects the stability of the government."
"If we can't figure out the reason, there will be endless troubles and I don't know what kind of chaos it will cause."
"So, please let us know so that we can have a better idea of what's going on and better deal with the various situations that may happen next."
Although he tried his best to make his tone sound gentle, it might be the majesty that he had developed from being in a high position for a long time, or it might be the habitual way that he had developed from interrogating others all day long.
The Purple-Robed Envoy's words unconsciously carried a sense of moral coercion, which made people feel invisible pressure.
Chu Ci heard this, sighed softly, and said with a slightly serious expression: "If you believe me, then go and check the King of Qi. Although I don't have any conclusive evidence, but all signs indicate that this matter may be inextricably linked to the King of Qi."
"Second brother?" Hearing Chu Ci's answer, even the eldest prince was a little frightened. He frowned, his eyes full of disbelief, "Although he is a bit cunning, he wouldn't collude with those villains of the previous dynasty, right?"
A thief from the previous dynasty? Even though the "female protagonist" has been deposed, is the second prince, the male protagonist, still connected with the forces behind the "female protagonist"?
If this is the case, has the fate of the Fan family and her own fate changed or not?
Thinking of this, Chu Ci's body trembled slightly involuntarily, and a flash of panic flashed across his eyes. The panic was like ripples suddenly appearing on the calm lake, clearly visible.
But soon, she bit her lip, and with the toughness and calmness she had developed over the years, she quickly concealed her panic and regained her usual calmness.
But that brief gaffe did not escape the eyes of those who were paying attention.
Fan Jingrui didn't know why Chu Ci was like this, but he was definitely not an irresponsible person who would let his wife take the blame when something went wrong.
He stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Chu Ci's right hand, his strength was firm and warm, and he said affectionately: "My lady, don't be afraid."
"No matter what happens, we will carry it together. Even if the sky falls, I will be there to support you."
"I promise that what I said is true. I will keep my word."
"No matter how many storms and difficulties the future holds, I will hold your hand tightly and never let go. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you and face everything together."
Chu Ci looked at Fan Jingrui who was anxiously trying to comfort him, his thoughts surging in his heart.
No, she shouldn't dwell on the original plot anymore. Even if the second prince had the aura of a protagonist, so what?
Haven't they discovered what he did by now?
What was the original plot? It was just a bunch of ridiculous bullshit.
She cannot be bound by those established frameworks. Since she was able to abolish the "female protagonist" before, she can also use her own strength to invalidate the halo of the "male protagonist".
She firmly believes in her own abilities and will never allow the so-called predetermined fate to dominate everything. She wants to break the rules and write her own chapter.
After figuring it out, Chu Ci smiled slightly, with a confident light in her eyes. She shook Fan Jingrui's hand and said softly, "My husband, I have nothing to fear with you by my side. For the rest of our lives, no matter what happens, we will go forward hand in hand."
The atmosphere is beautiful and warm at this moment.
However, there are always people who break this atmosphere at inopportune times.
"Awooo, you two, are you being so affectionate now and don't care about the occasion?" Just then, the fifth prince who was out on business came back.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui, a couple, blowing pink bubbles as if they were alone. The sweet scene made him unable to help but tease them out loud.
He didn't notice at all that the eldest prince and the purple-robed envoy both looked extremely solemn at the moment, their faces so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out, forming a sharp contrast with the warm atmosphere around them.
Until the eldest prince faked a cough, breaking the somewhat subtle atmosphere, and said in a deep voice: "Fifth brother, you still haven't caught up with her?"
The Fifth Prince then woke up from his dream and discovered that Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui were showing their affection right under the noses of the First Prince and the Purple-robed Envoy.
He was stunned for a moment, then paused, and then shook his head and said, "Hey, you guys. What on earth happened that I don't know? Why does the atmosphere feel so weird?"
After hearing the Fifth Prince's answer, the First Prince and the Purple-Robed Envoy looked at each other quickly, with a tacit understanding in their eyes.
Then, the two of them tacitly attacked from both sides, holding the Fifth Prince on the left and right, and took him to a more secluded corner without any explanation.
With serious expressions, they asked the Fifth Prince to go over all the questions Chu Ci had asked them before, no matter how big or small, for fear of missing any crucial details.
But the feedback they received made them even more frowned and worried.
Especially the eldest prince, as the eldest son, he was favored by the emperor. He had always relied on his status as the eldest son, and always felt superior when facing the second son, the King of Qi.
But now, this sense of superiority has disappeared, and there is even a hint of timidity.
That trace of timidity was like a seed that quietly took root and sprouted in his heart, gradually eroding his original self-confidence and pride, and he began to feel fear and anxiety about the unknown situation.
"Fifth brother, who exactly is the second elder brother..." The eldest prince was about to say "what kind of monster is he", but the words stopped at his lips, and he suddenly remembered that Confucius does not speak of strange things.
So Shengsheng changed the topic and said, "What's so strange? Why can it influence our thinking so easily? It seems that there is an invisible force controlling everything, making us fall into such a chaotic and confused situation."
The Fifth Prince naturally didn't know the reason for all this, but looking at the eldest prince's appearance, he seemed almost mentally ill.
He couldn't help but feel worried, so he said, "Since we have no other options at the moment, why don't we put aside our doubts and try to trust Chu Ci. Perhaps she can bring some clarity to this chaotic situation."
"Okay." This was the decision that the eldest prince was waiting for. Hearing the fifth prince's decision, he said without any hesitation, "Then I will do as you say. I hope this will turn the situation around."
