Chapter 154 The Emperor Doesn’t Love the Time-Traveling Girl (17)
"Master Wen, what you said... is a bit too much. We are all the emperor's subjects. How can we do such a thing and go against the emperor? This is disobedience!"
The others refused repeatedly, saying that they were all loyal subjects, so how could they do such a disloyal thing?
But Hao Lingyao's eloquence was extraordinary. He calmly persuaded them, "Don't you gentlemen want to make further progress? You've worked so hard for so many years to pass the imperial examination just to serve the emperor. We all have the same desire. If you want to achieve great things for the emperor, you can only do more by standing in a high position, right?"
After hearing this, several people were obviously shaken. Hao Lingyao continued, "Don't you all have ambitions? Don't you want to be the highest official in the country? And I'm not saying anything outrageous, it's just a form of strategy. Now that we've reached this position, we should do more, right? We're all doing this for the people, for the betterment of the country!"
In fact, these words are nothing more than everyone's ambition. Having reached this position, who doesn't want to do more, go further, and leave their name in history? Otherwise, what is the point of their years of hard study?
In the end they were persuaded, as everyone in the world came here for profit.
So after Long Yichen spent a very torturous day, he still felt a toothache when he saw Hao Lingyao in court the next day. As a result, he was threatened by several of his own ministers.
Originally, he was thinking that after Yun Nuo handed over the recipe for the weapon, he would slowly kill Hao Lingyao and Yun Nuo together. Even the Prime Minister would not protect such a rebellious son. Although the Prime Minister only had this one legitimate son, he had many illegitimate sons.
Who knew that Hao Lingyao could actually come up with such an ally, not only with civil but also military strength, and suddenly took Long Yichen hostage. Long Yichen looked at those people who spoke for Hao Lingyao, and felt dizzy. He was purely angry.
"Withdraw from the court!"
After hurriedly saying "dismiss the court", he left quickly. Long Yichen was afraid that he would faint on the spot if he stayed any longer.
As a result, he couldn't hold on and fainted halfway through.
It’s so infuriating, really so infuriating.
So the imperial physician who came in a hurry prescribed Qingxin Tea for Long Yichen. After waking up, Long Yichen drank three big bowls of it and then slowly calmed down.
But his head still started to hurt uncontrollably. He was completely helpless against these two people now. He could only announce the news of the imperial concubine's death as soon as possible. This matter could not be concealed.
Suddenly, everyone in the harem received the news that the imperial concubine had died of an acute illness, and everyone was more surprised than the other.
Although they turned to attack Wen Qiangwei after listening to Yun Nuo's words, the imperial concubine was still a big worry in their hearts. After all, everyone could see how much the emperor doted on the imperial concubine. Who would have thought that the imperial concubine would die like this?
What's even more bizarre is that not only did the imperial concubine die quickly, but the emperor didn't even hold a grand funeral for her. When everyone wanted to take this opportunity to comfort the injured and sad emperor and win his favor, they discovered that the imperial concubine had still been buried. There wasn't even anything hanging in white in the palace, except for a few white lanterns in the imperial concubine's former palace.
It's so abnormal, this is really abnormal!
Even if the emperor no longer favors the imperial concubine, and her family members are not high-ranking officials, she is still the imperial concubine after all. Other concubines must be present at her burial. Why would she be buried in such a hurry?
Anyone who can survive in the harem for so long is not a fool. How could they not understand that there must be something wrong?
Those concubines who originally wanted to use this incident to turn things around and gain favor all stopped. If there was really a problem with this matter, then the good cards would turn into a bad one.
Long Yichen looked at the tablet of Concubine Yue Yueran and wished he could burn it to ashes and eat it himself.
"Let Lord Wen and his wife enter the palace to pay tribute to the imperial concubine!"
Long Yichen spoke grimly to the eunuch beside him, who didn't dare to ask anything and could only respond.
Ever since the imperial concubine passed away, the emperor's mood has become increasingly strange, and he even made such a strange request.
Because this matter was so embarrassing, Long Yichen let the secret guards handle it throughout the process. Even the eunuchs around him didn't know about it, so basically everyone in the palace who knew about it died.
So the eunuch couldn't understand why their emperor would make such a request, but he did it anyway.
Hao Lingyao and Yun Nuo got married very quickly and informed few people. After all, this was ancient times, and it would not be good or convenient for the two to have much contact without getting married, so they just got married.
Anyway, the two of them don't really care about these things.
So everyone is paying close attention to the fact that the prime minister's son is getting married so quickly, and his wife is a person no one knows, and he is separating from the prime minister. After all, many people wanted to marry into the family before.
But Hao Lingyao hid Yun Nuo very deeply, and no one else could find out Yun Nuo's identity.
Hao Lingyao brought Yun Nuo into the palace. Long Yichen's face became even uglier when he saw them. There were several bowls of refreshing tea placed around them. He drank two bowls immediately when he saw them, which prevented him from fainting.
"I have already agreed to your conditions. Where are the weapons I want?"
Yun Nuo wasn't stupid either. "I've already made the weapon, but I want to keep the recipe secret. Who knows if you'll abandon me? I need to have leverage!"
Long Yichen quickly picked up the Qingxin tea and drank a few more cups. He was really angry to death, but even after drinking it, he couldn't stop his anger.
Long Yichen threw the bowl to the ground suddenly. Hao Lingyao pulled Yun Nuo back a few steps, and the flying fragments did not hit Yun Nuo.
Long Yichen became even angrier after seeing this scene, "Yue Yueran, do you still remember that you are my imperial concubine?"
Yun Nuo remained calm, "I am Mrs. Wen now!"
Long Yichen was so angry that his face turned red. He gripped the table tightly with his hands, wishing he could make a hole in it.
"I am the emperor. If you don't hand over the weapons and the house today, neither of you will be able to leave alive!"
Long Yichen also became angry. He felt that he was thinking too much. He was the emperor. All the land under heaven belonged to him. Everything in this world belonged to him. Why should he be polite to them?
Yun Nuo suddenly pulled out the soft sword wrapped around his waist and placed it across Long Yichen's neck. In order to prevent others from hearing his conversation with them, Long Yichen had asked everyone to leave. Now he didn't even have a single person to protect him.
Long Yichen felt the chill on his neck and froze.
"Yue Yueran, what are you trying to do? You are plotting treason. I can kill your entire clan!"
Long Yichen's voice was trembling as he spoke. He didn't dare to move at all, for fear that the sword would cut his neck if he moved.
