Chapter 79 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 37

"There is one more thing, Tingsheng, I have..."

Xie Tingsheng's eyelids twitched. He had been so engrossed in watching the show that he hadn't expected it to turn around and affect him.

The ministers' eyes followed Xie Hanzhou's gaze, and their eyes seemed to say to Xie Tingsheng: Do you also want to usurp the throne?

Xie Tingsheng strangely understood their micro-expressions.

"My lords, I am His Majesty's man. Please do not have any other thoughts."

The courtiers: Oh, alright.

"Your Majesty, my brother has an urgent matter at home, so I must take my leave first..." Xie Tingsheng quickened his pace to run away.

"Xie Tingsheng, come back here to me!"

Xie Tingsheng didn't move; instead, he quickened his pace.

His intuition told him that Xie Hanzhou's opening remarks were definitely not good news. Was he not afraid? Did he expect to stay for a meal?

In the end, he was stopped by Xie Hanzhou.

"Xie Tingsheng, if you don't stop, I might just arrange a marriage between Wenxi and someone else!"

Xie Tingsheng slammed on the brakes. "No! Wenxi is my wife! If you dare to arrange a marriage for her, I'll sabotage your coronation ceremony!"

Come on, brother, who's afraid of who?

Before Xie Tingsheng could even gloat for a moment, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a fierce appearance stood in front of him, frowning as he looked at him.

"Your Highness, please say it again, whose person is Wenxi?"

Xie Tingsheng dared not speak.

He was afraid that the general would punch him to death.

Xie Tingsheng thought he had a foolproof plan, but he was still tricked by Xie Hanzhou.

Xie Hanzhou: LOL, your imperial brother is indeed your imperial brother.

"Why is Your Highness mute? I didn't hear what Your Highness said clearly. Please repeat it."

Taking advantage of the moment, Xie Tingsheng glared fiercely at Xie Hanzhou, then whispered, "Wenxi, Wenxi is my wife..."

Immediately afterwards, a punch came with a whooshing sound, and Xie Tingsheng met General Wen Zi's fist without dodging or flinching.

The punch made him grunt, blood surging in his throat, which he forcefully suppressed.

"Hey, General Wen, General Wen, you can't fight like this!" A group of military officers pulled Wen Zi away, which angered Wen Zi so much that he cursed loudly in the Golden Palace.

"That's my son, the last child of my life. I treasured him like a gold nugget, but he was kidnapped by a man again."

Wen Zi sat down on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, my life is so miserable! It's one thing for my eldest son to marry a man, but that's because he didn't name him well. As for my younger son, I've kept him hidden for so many years, but he was still run off with someone else!"

"Your Majesty, I cannot live any longer—"

The young general Wen Xiang, who was standing to the side, touched his nose.

This probably has nothing to do with the name, right?

Wen Zi: Damn it, you're bent like a mosquito coil and you're still telling me it has nothing to do with the name?

Wen Xiang: Then what about my younger brother...?

Xie Hanzhou fell silent when he thought of the family's name.

When Young General Wen Xiang married a male wife, it shocked the entire capital. He had heard about it, and later Old General Wen Zi worked hard to raise a small account.

He even gave his alternate account a proper name.

As a result, Wenxi also...

"General, try to think positively. You've suddenly gained two more sons!"

Wen Zi glared angrily, then remembered that it was His Majesty above him, and turned to glare fiercely at Xie Tingsheng.

Xie Tingsheng sighed, "Uncle Wen, I really like Wen Xi, and Wen Xi feels the same way about me."

"Bullshit! I'm asking you, where's my son?"

Xie Tingsheng's face flushed unnaturally. "Wenxi is at the Prince of Anyang's residence."

Wen Zi felt like strangling Xie Tingsheng right now.

Damn it, he had already raised his youngest son in his maternal grandparents' home in Jiangnan, but he was still abducted all the way to the capital, and even taken to someone else's home.

Did Xie Tingsheng plan this all along?

Wen Zi was unaware that she had inadvertently guessed the truth.

Xie Tingsheng had been plotting against Wenxi for a long time.

That's why he was able to go to Jiangnan and trick his future wife into coming to the capital to become his deputy.

A wife is only reliable if she is kept under your watchful eye.

What if someone intercepts it halfway through?

"Uncle, I truly love Wenxi, could you please..." Xie Tingsheng's eyes were firm, and he was even prepared to be beaten half to death by Wen Zi.

Unexpectedly, Wen Zi sighed, waved her hand, and returned to her original position. "I'm old. Do whatever you want. I'm not some old-fashioned person who likes to break up couples."

"As long as you genuinely like it, I can't be bothered with you, anyway..."

Wen Zi couldn't help but glance at his eldest son, Wen Xiang. Since there was already one in the family, he didn't care about having another one.

Anyway, His Majesty is right, so he'll just treat it as if he has two more sons.

Xie Tingsheng smiled with satisfaction, but when he turned to look at the culprit Xie Hanzhou, his expression was far from pleasant.

"Brother, you're really something! Do you know you almost got me into serious trouble?"

Xie Hanzhou didn't take it seriously. "Did I wrong you? Didn't you kidnap someone's son? If you wanted to marry someone's son, you should at least let his father know, right?"

"so what?"

"I might as well give you a push. Your return is just in time. I may have to go on a long trip. During this time, I'll have to trouble you, Tingsheng, to oversee the country."

"After I return, I will bestow a marriage upon you and Wenxi."

Xie Tingsheng was extremely depressed.

He knew Xie Hanzhou was up to no good.

Who wants to be his regent?! Those piles of dubious memorials are enough to give him a headache. He thought he was finally free, but what is Xie Hanzhou saying now?!

He! Wants to get out again!

Then they dumped the responsibility on him again.

Xie Tingsheng wanted to refuse, but what he couldn't refuse even more was Xie Hanzhou's offer of a marriage decree.

Ultimately, the latter prevailed.

Xie Tingsheng finally gave in and nodded sullenly.

"Well, since there's nothing else to report, let's adjourn the court!" Xie Hanzhou couldn't wait to grab Yu Sheng and run off, leaving the ministers looking at each other in bewilderment.

The Emperor's faction, led by Wen Zi, pulled the Prime Minister's faction aside, saying, "We didn't expect we were on the same side! Sigh, you should have told us earlier that the Grand Preceptor wanted to be Empress!"

"When he was about to become empress, the whole capital was overjoyed and wanted to set off firecrackers."

At least they don't have to worry about a tyrant taking a liking to their daughter.

The Prime Minister's face remained expressionless. He hadn't expected that the Grand Preceptor actually wanted to become Empress!

They even thought the Grand Preceptor was going to rebel against the tyrant!

Unexpectedly, the two of them are now inseparable, making them both embarrassed to look at each other.

But it's all good, at least that tyrant listens to the Grand Tutor. Although she's the Empress, she seems to be no less capable than the Emperor.

Back then, they simply couldn't stand Xie Hanzhou's "tyrannical" behavior, and Yu Sheng looked down on Xie Hanzhou, which gave them the illusion that Yu Sheng wanted to rebel.

Then they risked losing their lives to seek refuge with Yu Sheng.

It seems that the Grand Preceptor is quite adept at managing his husband; the tyrant is completely under his control, and he hasn't been beheading people much lately.

The Prime Minister's faction nodded, seemingly agreeing that this was a good idea.
