Chapter 560 The General Was Rescued (35)
Chen Jiyao was indeed a person who valued talents. When he saw how talented Luo Qiwen was, he couldn't help but feel pity for him and thought about giving him a chance.
However, what Chen Jiyao had not expected was that Luo Qiwen was so stubborn and unyielding.
"Kill you? Why would I want to?" Chen Jiyao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile, and said slowly, "Mr. Luo's scholarly pride is a good thing! Well, go ahead, I will never stop you."
Luo Qiwen obviously did not expect Chen Jiyao to say this. He was a little surprised for a moment, but he quickly reacted and realized that this was the perfect opportunity to escape. He could not miss it.
So, he did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly ran out the door. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared outside the gate of the Third Prince's Mansion.
After Luo Qiwen left, Huo Yuan, who had been hiding in the back, walked out slowly.
He frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked Chen Jiyao: "Third Prince, what exactly do you mean by this?"
Obviously, Huo Yuan was quite puzzled by Chen Jiyao's behavior of letting Luo Qiwen go.
However, despite being full of doubts, Huo Yuan decided to plead for Luo Yuhe's brother.
After all, he had a close relationship with the Luo family, and he really couldn't bear to see Luo Qiwen being severely punished for this matter.
He just said softly: "Brother Luo has always been just a scholar, so it is inevitable that he will act on impulse. In my opinion, as long as he calms down over time, he will naturally figure out the pros and cons."
However, in response to Huo Yuan's plea, Chen Jiyao shook his head slightly and responded firmly, "It's impossible, I know him too well.
In my opinion, before tomorrow, he will definitely hand over the things in his hands to my father without hesitation."
As he spoke, Chen Jiyao nonchalantly played with the wine glass in his hand, his eyes deep and dark, as if he had already seen through everything.
Just as Chen Jiyao had expected, the next day Luo Qiwen took the evidence he had collected and broke into the Golden Palace relying solely on his own courage.
The atmosphere in the hall was as heavy as a block of solidified lead.
The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, looking gloomily at Luo Qiwen who was kneeling below.
"Your Majesty, everything I have presented is true. There is indeed a hidden story behind the matter between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince." Luo Qiwen's voice echoed in the empty hall.
The emperor's eyes swept over Chen Jiyao who was standing beside him, "My son, do you have anything to say?"
Chen Jiyao took a step forward, his expression calm and composed, "Father, I believe that I am innocent and I will leave everything to your judgment."
This obviously kicked the ball back to the emperor.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was really thinking about the ins and outs and the truth of these things.
At this time, most of the ministers knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, we can all testify that the Third Prince has always been friendly and respectful to his brothers, and he is fair in his conduct. He would never do such a thing. Please understand your majesty."
Luo Qiwen's eyes widened: "You...you!"
Chen Jiyao looked at him and said slowly: "Brother Luo, you have been used. Your so-called evidence is just forged and pieced together by someone with ulterior motives."
Luo Qiwen was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Let's end today's matter here. I will investigate it thoroughly." Upon seeing this, the emperor snorted coldly, then walked away, and the storm was temporarily calmed down.
After the emperor left, Luo Qiwen was still unable to recover for a long time, and those officials who were originally familiar with him now avoided him.
Luo Qiwen returned home in a daze. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his younger brother Luo Qitai directing his confidants to move things.
"Brother, what are you doing..." Luo Qiwen never thought about what consequences his impulse today would bring. He only knew that his best friend could not die in obscurity.
Luo Qitai looked at his brother with a sad face. He was a businessman and liked to think about things with the logic of profit.
When all the fights were over, the final beneficiaries could tell that the Third Prince was definitely not a simple person, but since the dust had settled, there was no need to worry about it anymore.
At least the third sister and her daughter were taken care of as the prince's widow.
"Brother, wake up!" Luo Qitai felt that his elder brother had become stupid from studying too much. "The emperor has four sons, the crown prince, the second prince, and the fourth prince are all dead. The crown prince has a daughter, the second prince has no children, and the fourth prince has not yet married.
Even if the third prince has problems, what does it matter? Does the emperor have other options? Not to mention whether a new prince will be born in the future, who would give up a ready-made candidate for the crown prince and support a baby or child who may die at any time? "
"You mean?" Luo Qiwen seemed to have figured out the key point only now, "Yes! Such an obvious flaw, but His Majesty didn't let anyone investigate at all!"
"But, Prince, Ah Hong!" Luo Qiwen seemed to be unconvinced, "That's the eldest son of the Huo family!"
"Huo Chengle is already the third prince's concubine, and Huo Yuan is still the third prince's confidant." Luo Qitai's simplest words shattered Luo Qiwen's last bit of hope.
