Chapter 35
Ye Bojian's face flashed with embarrassment, but for the sake of his life, he nodded.
"Third, you swear in front of His Majesty that you will leave the title of Marquis to Mingxiao."
Ye Bojian's face froze.
He actually forgot to promise.
Gu Rong sneered in his heart.
As expected!
He wanted to leave it to Gu Yingxue and his son, so he was hesitant.
All these years of sincerity really went to waste!
Gu Rong looked at him with a half-smile: "What are you hesitant about, Marquis? Do you want to leave your title to someone else? Do you have someone else outside?"
"Absolutely not!" Ye Bojian argued loudly, and then he said aggrievedly: "I just think that the lady has no feelings for me, and now she treats me very... You are now thinking that I will give up the title, will you still live with me in the future?"
Gu Rong almost laughed out loud.
Why didn't she realize that Ye Bojian was so good at pretending and acting before?
With such acting skills, she deserved to be deceived for more than 20 years!
Gu Rong sneered, "Marquis, it seems that you are complaining to someone bad! You know how I treated you these years. You also know how I was in the Marquis' Mansion. I wanted to be a good wife and a good mother, but you forced me! First, you ignored Gu Yao'er's plea, and then you married Yue'er to Zheng Shaoling, a useless man. Marquis, is there anything you can't do?"
Isn't it just acting?
Do you think she can't do
it? Gu Rong said bitterly: "Marquis, how can I trust you? How can I not resist? If I continue to be kind to you, my sons and daughters will be ruined in your hands. Marquis, you are old and your brain is not good. You should quit now!" If you
are so confused, what kind of Marquis are you? Just be
a waste!
Ye Bojian's face was red, and he didn't know how to refute.
Gu Rong's change was indeed after she learned that her daughter was replaced, and then something happened to Ye Yunyao.
Later...
Ye Bojian really wanted to slap himself now.
Gu Rong was gentle and considerate in front of him all these years, which made him arrogant and conceited, and he was sure that no matter how excessive he did, Gu Rong would tolerate and understand him.
He never thought that she would resist and refute him.
If he had known that when the incident with Ye Yunyao happened, he should have apologized humbly and comforted her gently. He
should not have rushed to frame Ye Mingche when she was in a bad mood.
One after another, Gu Rong was completely blackened.
Ye Bojian hurriedly swore to Xiao Ci!
"Your Majesty, please bear witness that the title of Marquis Cheng'en will be left to my eldest son Ye Mingxiao."
Xiao Ci waved his hand: "Okay."
Then he looked at Gu Rong with gentleness.
"Do you still want his life?"
Gu Rong pulled the corner of his mouth, and had to accept Xiao Ci's "goodwill".
"Your Majesty, this is a family matter, we can handle it ourselves."
Xiao Ci nodded.
Then he said, "Okay, now that your household affairs are taken care of, it's time for me to take care of my own affairs."
His eyes fell calmly on Zheng Shangshu and Liu Qinglian.
"Zheng Shangshu, your son is already dead, and everyone in the city knows it. You still want to marry your son. Tell me, what do you think?"
Zheng Shangshu was sweating all over and shaking all over.
Even though Xiao Ci's voice was gentle, without a trace of anger, and could even be considered gentle, he couldn't help but be afraid!
After all, their Majesty was a mad man with a Buddha's face!
The worst thing was the two years after he returned from the victory and learned of the death of the late emperor. For two whole years, the imperial city was in a bloody storm, with corpses everywhere. All those who had anything to do with the late emperor were either dead or crazy.
Those two bloody years are still the nightmare of the Great Qian Kingdom, the darkest moment!
After more than two years, the Majesty suddenly changed his temperament and became gentle.
Everyone thought that the bitterness had finally come.
But what was waiting was an even more terrifying Majesty.
He became humble, gentle, and spoke in a gentle way.
But with a wave of his hand, the head fell to the ground.
Others don't even know how they died.
They were fine, but suddenly they were killed!
Then the news spread that His Majesty was moody and would kill people at any time.
This is also true.
Minister Zheng kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. I was foolish! I love my son so much and I was afraid that he would be lonely, so I thought of finding him a companion. That's why I did such a foolish thing. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Minister Zheng and Liu Qinglian kowtowed to the ground so hard that their foreheads were broken.
Xiao Ci said casually.
"Since you know that your brain is not good, just withdraw."
Minister Zheng thought Xiao Ci was talking about withdrawing the engagement, so he kowtowed and admitted it.
"Withdraw! I will withdraw immediately when I go back!"
Xiao Ci sneered.
"I'm talking about leaving the Imperial City. You should be glad that today is a special day and I don't want to kill anyone. Otherwise, ten heads would not be enough for you. Fengcheng is short of a governor, so you should move your family there."
"Yes! I obey your order!"
Shangshu Zheng trembled.
Today is the birthday of the late Empress.
He didn't know whether to be glad or cry.
In fact, when he came here today, he had already thought that his life was in danger.
Although he has escaped a disaster now, he will be exiled to Fengcheng...
Fengcheng is poor in resources and the climate is not good. It will be difficult to come back once you go there.
Your Majesty spared their lives.
But he cut off their possibility of returning to the Imperial City.
However, there was something even more heartbreaking!
"Since you love your son so much and are afraid that he will be lonely, let's put it this way. Since your son is dead, I just happen to be short of an eunuch in my palace, so let him come in and serve me."
Did the Zheng Shangshu and his wife dare to say no?
No!
Even if they didn't want to, there was nothing they could do!
Zheng Shangshu bowed down obediently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
This time, he lost completely.
Xiao Ci waved his hand and asked Eunuch Cao to take Zheng Shangshu and his wife away, and ordered him to move out of the imperial city within three days.
After Zheng Shangshu and his wife were dragged away, Xiao Ci's eyes fell on Ye Bojian again and he chuckled.
"Marquis Cheng'en, do you know why you are called Marquis Cheng'en?"
In fact, the title that Ye Bojian inherited was "Marquis Yongyi", but this title fell to Ye Bojian, so Xiao Ci changed his title. Changed
Marquis Yongyi to Marquis Cheng'en.
Ye Bojian's face turned pale and his body trembled.
"Your servant... I know."
Xiao Ci snorted coldly.
"My negligence back then allowed you to take advantage of the situation. It was Gu Rong's own choice to marry you, so I let you go. Originally, I planned that as long as you treated Gu Rong well in this life, I would turn a blind eye to some things. However, Marquis Cheng'en, what are you doing now?"
Marquis Yongyi, a real man with courage and strategy.
And Ye Bojian is just a man who got the help of Gu Rong and gave up the title because of others, so he can stand at the height he is today.
It turns out that Ye Bojian is an ungrateful person.
