Chapter 1393: The whole family rushed to give up their lives
Xuanyuan Jin openly supported Tang Bao in front of everyone.
If you don’t know this, you might actually think that Tang Bao is a delicate and weak girl who can be bullied.
However, when everyone looked at Madam Wang and her daughter, who were terrified and speechless, they also wanted to ask the Third Prince, where are your eyes?
Xuanyuan Jin doesn't care what others think.
In short, the Wang family's actions have crossed his bottom line.
"Lord Wang has failed to educate his wife and daughter properly. If you can't manage your own family, how can you manage the empire?" Xuanyuan Jin continued in a cold voice, "In my opinion, Lord Wang is not fit to be an official. It would be best for you to return home and study the sage's books!"
Lord Wang: “…”
My body shivered!
What does the Third Prince mean by this?
Are you going to remove me from my official position?
Lord Wang was terrified.
Fortunately, the third prince is just a prince and does not have such rights.
Lord Wang tried hard to calm himself down and told himself to stay calm.
"Your Majesty, I swear that my wife and I have absolutely no intention of bullying Princess Ford!"
Lord Wang looked towards Emperor Tianxi, his face filled with fear and trepidation.
After saying this, he looked at Madam Wang and Miss Wang, mother and daughter.
Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang showed a similar expression on their faces.
The mother and daughter nodded vigorously at the same time.
Although, they wished they could bite Tang Bao to death.
But they dare not admit it!
Princess Linghua curled her lips and said, "What a family of idiots! Originally, it was just my daughter who was punished, but now, they insist on asking the whole family to come forward and give themselves up!"
After Princess Linghua finished speaking, she shook her head and gave the Wang couple who were kneeling on the ground a hopeless look.
It seems that Su Tang was right. This girl from the Wang family is really a jinx.
This time the Wang family is in big trouble!
Xia Siya said bitterly, "Serves them right! Do you think everyone else is stupid? Can't you see their purpose? They clearly want to ruin Sister Fu Ya's reputation!"
Princess Linghua patted Xia Siya on the shoulder and said with emotion, "That's why I say this family is stupid. They don't even know who not to mess with."
Xia Siya: "...You seem to sympathize with them?"
Xia Siya looked at Princess Linghua with suspicion.
Princess Linghua immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Which eye of yours saw that I sympathized with them? That was the contempt of a wise man for foolish people!"
Xia Siya: "...Okay, that's about right."
Although, she didn't think Princess Linghua was a wise person at all.
Lord Wang looked at the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, I have always been loyal and dedicated to my duties, never slacking off even for a moment. I beg Your Majesty to understand." Lord Wang cried, "The Third Prince has misunderstood me and wants to remove me from my position. I beg Your Majesty to see justice!"
After Lord Wang finished speaking, he wiped his tears with his sleeve.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Humph! To humiliate their family like this is a great shame!
He will definitely not let it go easily today!
Otherwise, how can he gain a foothold in the court in the future?
I'm afraid my career is over!
If you don't let me live a good life, then I won't let you live a good life either!
Thinking of this, Lord Wang began to praise Xuanyuan Jin.
"Your Majesty, although the Third Prince is the son of a great emperor and a great grandson of a phoenix, this world is still Your Majesty's. The Third Prince, as a son and a minister, is overstepping his authority and exercising power on Your Majesty's behalf. I am terrified. I fear that in time, the Yuan Jing Rebellion will recur..."
As soon as Lord Wang finished speaking, the faces of all the civil and military officials present changed.
Even King Xiaoyao changed his expression and put down the cup in his hand.
The Yuan Jing Rebellion was a palace coup recorded in history books.
The prince forced the palace and wanted to kill his father and usurp the throne, and he almost succeeded.
Although the prince failed to force the emperor to abdicate in the end, there was a river of blood inside and outside the palace, and countless people were killed and injured.
For a moment, there was complete silence.
Many people broke out in a cold sweat for Xuanyuan Jin.
For the emperor, the prince's rebellion is a thorn in his side.
Once this thorn gets stuck in, it will be difficult to remove.
Even if you just plant a seed of doubt, it may grow into a towering tree one day.
However, at this time, no one dared to plead for Xuanyuan Jin.
Because it is a taboo for a prince to make friends with ministers.
Standing up to speak for Xuanyuan Jin at this time would more likely arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Not only would he be dragged into this, but it would also be harmful to Xuanyuan Jin.
Even the old general and Yang Wei stared at Lord Wang with flaming eyes, without saying a word.
Of course, there were people who were worried about Xuanyuan Jin, and there were also people who couldn't suppress their joy.
For example, the eldest master of the Bai family.
He originally only wanted to punish Tang Bao and the Xia family, but he never expected that Lord Wang's actions would directly drag Xuanyuan Jin into the water.
This is such a pleasant surprise!
It was fine before. It didn't matter which prince inherited the throne to the Bai family.
But now it’s different. Because of Tang Bao, the eldest master of the Bai family definitely doesn’t want Xuanyuan Jin to ascend to the throne in the end.
It would be perfect if the emperor had a grudge against Xuanyuan Jin.
The eldest master of the Bai family was secretly happy, and the second prince was even happier and beaming with joy.
As long as the emperor has doubts about the third brother, then he will have another chance, right?
"Are you happy?" Princess Mingli, dressed in a bright dress, glanced at the second prince and asked in a low voice.
Second Prince: “…”
I tried hard to push down the upturned corners of my mouth.
Princess Mingli's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but her face was full of pride. She said, "Why are you pretending in front of me? Don't I know what you're thinking? I've already said that I will help you fulfill your wish in the end!"
After Princess Mingli finished speaking, she gave the Second Prince a charming and alluring look.
The second prince felt a tingle in his heart, and a hint of eagerness appeared in his eyes.
"Princess, don't worry. I, Xuanyuan Ming, will never let you down in the future!" said the second prince meaningfully.
Princess Mingli was extremely disdainful of the Second Prince's words, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
"Doesn't the Second Prince blame Mingli for forcing Princess Ford that day?" Princess Mingli said somewhat sadly, "Back then, the Second Prince was determined to marry Princess Ford."
The second prince's face changed, as if he had been slapped in the face.
He wanted to ask for her hand in marriage, but she refused to marry him.
Even he, a prince, was treated like a toad.
This is the greatest insult!
If one day...
"If one day the Second Prince gets what he wants, will he dislike Mingli for being a foreigner and marry someone else?" Princess Mingli asked.
The Second Prince quickly shook his head and said with certainty: "Absolutely not!"
But I thought to myself: That’s for sure!
It would be fine for the princess of Western Qin to be a concubine.
If she were to become the empress, not only would all the civil and military officials in the court disapprove, but even the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family would not agree!
"Since you won't, then why don't you swear an oath, Second Prince?" Princess Mingli said happily, "If the Second Prince ever breaks his oath, he will be struck by lightning!"
Second Prince: “…”
