Wan Ge was telling the truth. The new emperor must have felt some guilt towards Zi Shuyan, but that guilt was not enough to make him like her more than he liked Zi Shutang.
Moreover, another truth is that Zishu Tang is simply not cut out to be an emperor. If it weren't for the protagonist's halo, the original owner would probably have realized it long ago, given his appearance.
How could he have gone unnoticed all this time? It's just that he was influenced by a halo; his luck shaped who he is today.
Moreover, how could an emperor who rose to power by deceiving and using female supporting characters possibly be a wise and benevolent ruler?
It's all thanks to the halo. Once a situation like Wan Ge's occurs, where she's completely unaffected by the halo, then the other party is nothing.
…
"No, I'm not! It's clearly you aristocratic families who have divided up my imperial power. You aristocratic families are the biggest cancer."
"How dare you say such things? You marry the daughter of a powerful clan and use us to consolidate your position, while at the same time you slander us."
The aristocratic system was indeed not a good thing, but Zishu Tang was not qualified to criticize it, after all, he was just someone who wanted to rely on the aristocratic families to consolidate his position.
After Wan Ge finished speaking, she seemed to remember something else: "So your liking for the daughter of a minor official is not true liking for her, but just your resentment. That's why you don't want to like the daughters of the major aristocratic families."
Wan Ge then mocked him again: "Zishutang, you are truly pathetic."
After finishing her speech, Wan Ge returned to the Princess's tent.
…
Ruan Ruan was a little confused: "Why did you provoke him, sir?"
Although the male protagonist is now unaware of the adult's true background, he is not actually that bad; the forces behind him are still quite powerful.
The adult is genuinely unafraid of the protagonist's assassination attempt. But then again, the adult is so capable, how could he possibly be afraid of him?
Wan Ge slowly began to speak: "Instead of worrying about whether the male lead will assassinate me, you might as well think about whether the male lead will harm his own flesh and blood."
When Ruan Ruan heard these words, a chill ran down her spine. What... what kind of words are these adults saying!
"What do you think a weak and incompetent man who desperately desires the throne would do if he discovered that his son might threaten his position?"
To be honest, after Wan Ge arrived, she didn't get to spend any time with the legendary eldest prince. In the original owner's impression, he was alright, and he seemed quite respectful in front of her.
I wonder if, like in other storylines, he was manipulated by his biological mother, causing her to hate his adoptive mother intensely.
Before things became clear, Wan Ge didn't want to kill him. She had already made arrangements for the Crown Prince, and he still had his birth mother.
Yunmei wouldn't let Zishu Tang do anything; after all, she was his mother.
…
However, Wan Ge did not expect that the eldest prince was even more terrifying than she had imagined.
After they returned from the hunting grounds, Zishutang did indeed have the idea of taking action against the eldest prince.
As for the one Yunmei is carrying, he won't touch her if it's a little princess.
Unexpectedly, Yunmei protected her son. She stared at Zishutang in disbelief: "Are you really going to kill our son because of her words? Your Majesty! You are still the supreme ruler, how can you so easily listen to her?"
When Zishutang heard her say that she was the supreme emperor, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Supreme emperor, how ridiculous! You have no military power, and even among the civil and military officials in the court, how many listen to me?"
He thought that once he became emperor, he would have everything, but he ended up with nothing.
His maternal grandfather's family was once very powerful, but because his uncle embezzled, the family eventually fell apart and died. Although he and his mother were unaware of this, they were not implicated.
However, his maternal grandfather's power collapsed, and his mother died in despair because of this. In the court, he had very few people who fully supported him.
They used to side with him, but that was entirely because of Wan Ge and the Prime Minister.
Now Wan Ge and the Prime Minister have completely fallen out. The Prime Minister has been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but he never showed it in his relationship with his daughter. Now he knows everything he should and shouldn't know. In addition, she has Zi Shu Yan's help, so he has no chance.
If the child is disposed of, and there is no suitable bloodline, at least the other party won't harm him.
"That vile woman wants to support him to become emperor, so she deserves to die." Zishu Tang comforted himself countless times, knowing that he could have another son, and what he needed to do now was to protect his throne.
Just then, the eldest prince, who had been terrified, seemed to be encouraged by something. He picked up a knife and stabbed Zishu Tang directly.
Zishu Tang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, clutching his stomach with both hands, but the knife was quickly pulled out, and blood flowed freely, seeping between his fingers.
Seeing the other person pointing a knife at her, Yunmei quickly shook her head: "Jin'er, I am your mother, I am the mother who loves you the most, what else do you want to do?"
"If my mother loves me, she will be willing to grant my wish, right?"
Yunmei was completely terrified. The eldest prince was only a few years old and no match for her at all. Zishu Tang was stabbed because he was caught off guard. But she was terrified because she was stunned.
Yunmei took a step back, tripped over the chair, and quickly bled.
The guards finally heard the commotion and quickly stopped the eldest prince.
…
Zishu Tang has fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss, Yun Mei lost her baby, and the eldest prince was imprisoned for attempting to kill his father.
