Chapter 347: The New Emperor's Decisive Execution x The Poor Princess of the Former Dynasty 30
Wang Yutong sat down on the ground limply, without any trace of the toughness he had just mustered.
He glanced at Li Qiaoqiao who was still in a daze and said, "What? Are you looking for someone to back you up?"
Li Qiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "Sister Wang, why do you say that? How can I possibly seek support from the Queen? We are grasshoppers on the same rope."
"Our top priority now is to find a way to leave here. Otherwise, not to mention the emperor, I will even hate myself."
Wu Xinsi heard the conversation between the two and sneered, "You can leave if you want. Anyway, I have to stay here to gain experience. When I am done with the experience, the emperor will love me as much as he loves the queen."
Wang Yutong and Li Qiaoqiao looked at each other. They wondered what Prime Minister Wu was thinking. Letting such a beautiful but brainless person enter the palace was just courting death.
"Hey, it seems that Sister Wu really wants to stay in Zhenbaozhu. We won't force you. Of course, we will still tell Sister Wu when we leave."
Shun Qing quickly reported what happened to Zhen Baozhu to Jun Molin.
Jun Molin suppressed his laughter. He just realized that his queen was so playful and fond of experience? This excuse was not bad.
Wang Quan received the letter that Wang Yutong had someone secretly send back. After reading it, he was so angry that his face turned pale and blue and he almost passed out.
Just when he was about to lose his temper, Li Shanchang walked in without letting anyone know and just barged in. It was obvious that he was so angry that he had lost his mind.
"Brother, do you know this? Our daughter was raped like this. The emperor is going too far."
Wang Quan gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't agree with our daughter entering the palace, you can just say so. Why do you have to insult us like this? Isn't this disrespecting our reputation?"
Li Shanchang calmed down his anger and said, "Brother Wang, do you have any ideas? We can't just let this go."
Wang Quandu's eyes gleamed, and he said sarcastically, "In this case, let's use Prime Minister Wu one last time. I guess he doesn't know the news yet. His daughter is so happy with the treasures that she doesn't want to leave."
The two looked at each other and agreed to the proposal.
In the next two days, Wu Yuan felt that Wang Quandu and Li Shanchang didn't try to curry favor with him much. Even when he took the initiative to go over and say hello, they just nodded indifferently.
Wu Yuan was puzzled until the third day, when Wang Quan came to him and said, "Prime Minister Wu, Brother Li and I have thought about it and decided to come to you. Only you can help us with this matter."
Wu Yuan frowned and asked, "So you guys have been ignoring me these days just because you have something to ask of me?"
Wang Quan said awkwardly, "We are too embarrassed to speak up."
Wu Yuan's self-esteem was greatly satisfied. He waved his hands complacently and said, "Come on, what could possibly make you and the charity so embarrassed? I will definitely help you if I can."
Wang Quandu smiled triumphantly and continued, "Alas, the emperor doesn't like Qiaoqiao and Yutong, only Xinsi is the one who wins the emperor's heart. This has already begun to test Xinsi."
"Brother Li and I thought that our daughter is not young anymore, and we cannot let her be tortured in the harem like this."
"So I would like to ask Brother Wu for help and find a way to get Qiaoqiao and Yutong out of the palace."
Wu Yuan suddenly perked up. Ever since Wu Xinsi entered the palace, no letter had been sent to him. He never expected that such a thing would happen.
"Oh? Yutong sent you a message? What Yutong said is the most pleasing to the emperor?"
Wang Quan looked worried and said, "Yes, poor Yutong and Qiaoqiao, they are crying and shouting about leaving the palace."
Wu Yuan was very proud of his daughter, but he couldn't believe everything Wang Quan said, so he could only say helplessly, "Well, I will consider this matter. Please wait for my news in the mansion, brother Wang."
After sending Wang Quandu away, Wu Yuan's confidant came up and said, "Master, can you believe what he said? I always feel like there is something fishy going on."
Wu Yuan said meaningfully, "If you ask her whether she is cheating or not, you will know what she is thinking."
Wu Yuan sent a letter to Wu Xinsi, but he did not receive Wu Xinsi's reply until dark the next day.
In the letter, Wu Xinsi wrote how much the emperor cared about her, and even the empress felt a sense of crisis, telling Wu Yuan to relax, saying that it wouldn't be long before she would be favored by the emperor.
Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. Since Wu's plan was half successful, there was no need for Li Qiaoqiao and Wang Yutong to stay in the palace, lest they become enemies of his daughter in the future. It would be better to eliminate the trouble now.
Thinking of this, Wu Yuan wrote a letter and ordered his men to pass it to Wang Quandu.
Wu Yuan acted quickly. Since he had his own people in the palace, Li Qiaoqiao and Wang Yutong were sent back to their homes within a few days.
The news Jun Molin received was that Li Qiaoqiao and Wang Yutong had died in an accident.
"Very good, Prime Minister Wu, this is a handle that is delivered to your doorstep."
Liu Cheng observed a moment of silence for Prime Minister Wu. Originally, they had not found any evidence of Prime Minister Wu's mistake, but Prime Minister Wu ran into trouble at the critical moment. It can only be said that God helped the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wu is helping Wang Quandu and Li Shanchang. Wang Yutong and Li Qiaoqiao have already sent letters to their fathers, but only Wu Xinsi has devoted himself to Zhenbaozhu."
"Haha," Jun Molin sneered, "I didn't expect that Auntie's words would have such a big effect. If Wu Xinsi knew that he was fooled in the future, he would probably be so angry that he would die."
Liu Cheng also smiled and agreed, "That's right, this Wu Xinsi is really stupid. I really can't figure out why Prime Minister Wu sent her to the palace."
Jun Molin knew, "Why else? Besides Wu Xinru, Wu Yuan only has Wu Xinsi as his daughter. He doesn't want to miss this opportunity, so he decided to go for broke. But he didn't expect his daughter to be so stupid."
"Send the order to investigate which servants are Prime Minister Wu's men, arrest them for interrogation, and after getting their confessions, lock Prime Minister Wu up. I am going to start cleaning up the court."
As early as when Jun Molin fell in love with Jin Jin Qiao, he had predicted the current situation. Dealing with General Sima was only the first step. The next step would be to deal with the ambitious and ulterior motive ministers.
And the confidants that Jun Molin has cultivated secretly will soon come in handy. As long as these cancers of the court are solved, the future of Da'an will be decided by Jun Molin alone.
If Jun Molin had not fallen in love with Qiao Jinjin, the eldest princess of the previous dynasty, he might not have had the idea of taking control of the entire Da'an Dynasty. But now, Jun Molin, who has a wife and children, must of course put his wife and children first. Jun Molin will never allow anything that will threaten the people he cares about to exist.
