Chapter 208 I am the only one in the world who is kept in the dark
Ji Weiming lifted the curtain with a whisk and was about to lower the door curtain.
Hearing Prince Teng's humiliating words, he paused.
He played the role of Ji Wenyi's stand-in very diligently, being quiet and inactive, with no particularly memorable points.
In the past, even if King Teng cursed at him at the top of his lungs, he would not pay any attention.
But it was precisely these words "sharing a woman with his brother" that made him particularly concerned.
The emperor's behavior towards Ye Xiaoman was too weird.
He is like an adulterer who stole someone else's wife and cannot be shown in public. However, he cannot suppress his jealousy and has to dance in front of the wife, desperately trying to find a sense of existence.
Prince Teng suddenly felt a strong suction force, and the next moment, before his men could react, he was sucked in front of Ji Weiming.
Ji Weiming grabbed his neck and pinched him so hard that his eyes rolled back and his throat gurgled.
Under the fear of death, the drunkard sobered up immediately.
Prince Teng's men drew their swords, but were immediately suppressed by the golden-armored guards.
Ji Weiming narrowed his eyes slightly, with no smile on his face, "What did you say?"
Prince Teng's face turned purple and he pointed at Ji Weiming's neck.
Ji Weiming relaxed a little, and Prince Teng grabbed his arm and greedily took a few breaths of air, timidly denying: "I didn't say anything!"
"Ji Xun," Ji Weiming said calmly, "My patience is limited."
"I, I..." Prince Teng's eyes were bulging in anxiety, and he regretted why he had spoken so rudely just now.
Ji Weiming and Ji Wenyi have the same face and are King Teng's nightmare. Stared at by those narrow eyes, King Teng's legs became weak and turned into two noodles.
Only then did he remember that although Ji Weiming was not very prominent, he was in charge of the Ministry of Justice and was responsible for helping Ji Wenyi do the dirty work in secret. He was a well-known living devil in the capital.
Few of those who entered the prison of Prince Rui's Mansion could come out alive, and those who came out were all crazy.
Ji Weiming tightened his grip again, and King Teng saw the murderous intent in his eyes and confessed everything.
"Didn't your men receive the tip-off? I thought you knew it a long time ago."
Prince Teng said quickly, "The Crown Prince and Consort Gong were having an affair. To make it easier to sneak her out of the palace, they even set up a teleportation array in Yihua Palace. Consort Gong only needs to walk a few steps to reach the Crown Prince's residence."
Fortunately, Ye Xiaoman had already made a plan in advance. King Teng had sworn a blood oath with her that if she died, he would die too. In order to save his own life, he did not dare to reveal her core plan.
Prince Teng looked at Ji Weiming's face and said with a mixture of true and false information:
"The Crown Prince dotes on Concubine Gong so much that he even takes her with him when he goes out to discuss cooperation. Whenever he has free time, he holds her in his arms and they are so infatuated that they can't bear to be apart for even a moment."
"The servants in the Crown Prince's Mansion have spread the word that Gong Zhaoyi is secretly called the 'Knee Concubine', meaning that Gong Zhaoyi sits on the Crown Prince's lap from morning to night and never leaves his lap..."
"Enough!" Ji Weiming's face became more and more gloomy as he listened, and he shouted to stop.
Only then did Prince Teng stop sharing information.
The two princes' attendants, staff, and servants, a huge crowd of people, were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. They just wanted to poke their ears out and pretend they heard nothing.
Some secrets can be fatal if known.
The prince stole the emperor's concubine.
The prince also stole the emperor's concubines.
The two brothers also stole the same concubine.
With such similar hobbies, how can they not be considered brothers from the same mother?
Fortunately, Empress Shengde died early, otherwise she would have been angered to death by her two rebellious sons.
Ji Weiming lost the indifference of a free-spirited Taoist priest.
He was stunned by the sudden information, and his mind was in a mess.
He thought of Ye Xiaoman's maids again. They begged him to help Ye Xiaoman escape from the sea of suffering. Their expressions were hard to describe, and they looked at him with sympathetic eyes.
He asked with difficulty: "You... know everything?"
Prince Teng was almost suffocated by him, and he struggled to squeeze out the syllables, "most, most, divided among people..."
Ji Weiming stood there for a long time.
His first reaction was actually laughter. "Okay, very good."
The whole world knew that Ji Wenyi had stolen his woman.
He was the only one kept in the dark.
Ji Weiming threw Prince Teng away.
Prince Teng covered his neck with his hands and coughed violently.
Ji Weiming raised his hands, and a guard tied King Teng's arms behind his back, and another guard clamped King Teng's chin to force him to open his mouth.
Ji Weiming took the dagger from his subordinate, walked up to King Teng, and played with the knife in his hand without saying a word.
Prince Teng thought Ji Weiming was going to cut off his tongue. His round face was covered in cold sweat and he tried to retract his tongue into his mouth.
He was so scared that he cried, tears streaming down his face, and begged for mercy.
Ji Weiming waited until he was almost embarrassed before he slowly patted his face with the handle of the black gold dagger.
"Do you understand what to say and what not to say from now on?"
Like his brother, he is a monster with a hypocritical heart.
"I understand! I understand!" Prince Teng nodded repeatedly.
Ji Weiming glanced around and saw that those who had overheard the royal secrets knelt down with pale faces, saying that they would never tell the truth even if they died.
The guard let go of his hand and Prince Teng fell to the ground.
Ji Weiming walked back to the sedan chair.
Before getting on the car, I looked back at the Prince Teng's Palace, where even the plaque had been knocked down.
"It's burned."
Prince Teng did not dare to move until Ji Weiming's procession disappeared around the corner of the street, and then he was helped up.
"Your Majesty."
The guard approached the silent Ji Weiming cautiously.
"explain."
Ji Weiming was holding the whisk, and suddenly remembered that the whisk was recently returned to him by Ji Wenyi.
He suddenly put the whisk's whisk under his nose and sniffed.
Maybe it was because he was suspicious, but he mistook the well rope for a snake. He always felt that the whisk had the scent of Ye Xiaoman.
How could the things Ji Wenyi was using be tainted with Ye Xiaoman's scent?
How can we trust Prince Teng's words completely?
He might be trying to sow discord between the brothers.
The guards didn't dare to look at Ji Weiming's unusual movements. "Shu Fei forced Gong Zhaoyi to offer the poison pill to the emperor."
Ji Weiming had issued an order to protect Ye Xiaoman and report any difficulties she encountered in the palace.
When Ji Weiming heard that Ye Xiaoman was in danger, he immediately ordered the carriage to turn around and rush to the palace.
The coat of arms of King Rui was hung on the eaves of the carriage, and other vehicles on the road immediately gave way and made way at full speed.
Suddenly, the roar of monsters was heard from the sky.
Ji Weiming lifted the door curtain and looked out, and saw the prince's carriage galloping across the sky, also flying towards the palace.
In order to demonstrate the supremacy of imperial power, flying is prohibited over the imperial city.
Unless there are special circumstances.
Something big happened to Ji Wenyi and he had to rush to the palace.
There's no need to be so hasty in plotting to usurp the throne.
Ji Weiming's heart moved, and he asked the guard who transmitted the information, "Did the Crown Prince also place people around Concubine Gong?"
The guard didn't dare to raise his head, "Yes."
I really don't dare tell Prince Rui.
The Crown Prince sent people, and Prince Rui also sent people. The big trees around Yihua Palace were crowded with people.
Anyway, they were all targeting the same person, and they were all colleagues. The guards had overlapping tasks, and they even made private schedules. Some of them secretly took leave with their salaries.
