Once he left the Taiji Hall, Wang Fengyue couldn't contain himself any longer and disregarded the fact that he was in the palace.
"You really wish me well? What good will it do you if I lose my position?"
The Fifth Prince laughed and said, "My wife is mistaken. How could Wu Yan wish for anything bad for my wife? But stripping her of her official position is also the Empress's order. How can I, as her son, disobey it?"
“However, if my wife is truly dissatisfied, we can go back and plead with the Empress Mother. Wu Yan will definitely intercede for her,” Wei Wu Yan said innocently.
Wang Fengyue was furious. How come she had never noticed that the Fifth Prince was so sharp-tongued? She couldn't argue with him at all. If she went back to plead for him or if word got out that she was dissatisfied with the Empress's orders, it would probably be more than just a matter of being dismissed from her post.
So he could only say, with a sigh, "No need."
Wei Wuyan, however, felt incredibly satisfied, wondering why he had to suffer such humiliation in his past life.
It's a pity he returned a little late. If he had returned earlier, he would never have let his eldest sister meet that palace maid, and he would never have married Wang Fengyue.
But this is fine too, so he can take revenge himself. He won't let any of those who hurt him get away with it!
But who would have thought that the person who would eventually ascend the throne would be her?
The Sixth Princess!
Just like in my past life, she didn't come today.
Then she thought of Chen Zhiyan, who married her. He was really lucky; they were the complete opposites.
And that person also used his name to act as an accomplice to the tyrant.
I truly hated myself back then!
He hated everyone: he hated Wang Jun, Wang Fengyue, that person, and also Chen Zhiyan and the Sixth Princess.
He resented that no one offered him any help.
Suddenly remembering that he had a long-standing grudge against the Sixth Princess, it was already good enough that she hadn't bothered him after ascending the throne. To think that he could ask her for help made Wei Wuyan realize that he was being too naive.
Don't you see all those close friends who used to fawn over him, all those rich young men who used to fawn over him? Now that he's fallen on hard times, they all stay far away from him. It's already a favor if they don't come to ridicule him or kick him while he's down.
But if he didn't want that person to gain power, there were only two ways: one was to prevent the sixth princess from sitting on the throne, and the other was to prevent her from marrying Chen Zhiyan.
But when he stood before his father, he felt that all that hatred had faded.
The Empress Dowager is still alive and hasn't been driven to death by them.
With his father by his side, he knew his father would help him. As long as his father was there, he could still be the spoiled fifth prince, and he wouldn't have to worry about the affairs of the court and the harem.
The Queen saw that Xiao Wu, who had only been away from her for a day, was looking at her with red eyes, feeling wronged and dependent. She felt a pang of heartache and asked, "What happened? Who bullied your father's Xiao Wu? Don't be afraid, your father will stand up for you." She glanced at Wang Fengyue as she spoke.
Wang Fengyue was truly furious. This fifth prince was really going against her. He had just spoken out of turn in front of the Empress in the Taiji Hall, causing her to lose her official position. Now he was complaining to the Empress about being wronged. What did he want from her? All she did was leave him hanging in the bridal chamber for one night.
Is it really necessary?
If Wei Wuyan heard this, he would really laugh. Is it really necessary?
Doesn't she realize the immense harm her actions will cause the man? If he weren't a prince, ha!
But that's not all she's done for him. Just wait, this is only the beginning!
"Father, I want to speak with you alone."
The Queen gave a wink, signaling everyone to leave. She then said to Wang Fengyue, "Fengyue, you should leave too. Xiao Wu and I have a private conversation, which is not appropriate for you women to hear."
"Yes." Wang Fengyue had no choice but to leave first, giving the Fifth Prince a warning look before he left, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Wei Wuyan sneered; he would not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk.
When the Queen saw that Wang Fengyue dared to give Xiao Wu a meaningful look right in front of her, she couldn't help but frown.
"Xiao Wu, what exactly happened?"
Wei Wuyan hesitated for only a moment before deciding to speak up. After all, he couldn't see things clearly and couldn't make a decision. It was better to leave this matter to his father.
Wei Wuyan only said that he saw the future, saw Wang Fengyue flirting with other men and even marrying one, saw the sixth princess ascend the throne, saw the rise of the Chen family, and saw his own tragic death.
The Queen looked on in disbelief, "This...how is this possible?"
"Xiao Wu, are you still half asleep?"
"Father, I also hope that all of this is fake, but it isn't." Fearing that the Empress wouldn't believe him, Wei Wuyan cited two little-known secrets that would later be revealed, asking the Empress to investigate.
In fact, the Queen believed it when she heard this; her fifth son wasn't like this before. Before, he was always arrogant and spoiled, but when he looked at Wang Fengyue, his eyes shone with light; otherwise, he wouldn't have let his fifth son marry him.
But now Xiao Wu is terrifyingly calm. When he talks about those people, his eyes are filled with endless hatred, a madness that wants to drag everyone down to hell.
The Empress was heartbroken; she felt that her fifth son must have suffered a lot.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Wu, your father believes in you."
"Father will definitely not allow these things to happen." He will send people to investigate. He is, after all, the head of a palace. Even if he is not favored, he will not allow anyone to harm or humiliate Xiao Wu.
After saying that, he asked in a somber tone, "Who is that person?"
“Chen Zhishao, the second young master of the Chen family,” Wei Wuyan said coldly.
"I understand, I'll send someone..."
"Wait, Mother, don't kill him. Bring him into the manor, I want to deal with him myself." He wanted to return everything they had given him back then.
The Queen did not want to dirty her son's hands, but now it seemed that Xiao Wu's hatred needed an outlet, otherwise, she feared... Xiao Wu would lose his will to live.
"Okay." He would definitely help his son achieve his wish.
"Father, should we help the Fourth Princess..." Wei Wuyan asked, after all, he had always been a carefree prince and had never cared about these important court affairs, whether in the past or now.
The Queen thought for a moment and said, "We should not get involved in these matters. After all, whether it is the Fourth Princess or the Sixth Princess who ascends to the throne, it has little direct relation to us. There is no need to take the risk."
"But, I had some dealings with the Sixth Princess before..."
"It's alright. I don't think the Sixth Princess is a petty person. Those things are long in the past, and she wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for a man like you."
Wei Wuyan thought about it and agreed that it made sense. After all, in his previous life, until his death, Wei Wangqing never came to cause him any trouble.
At worst, he can just try to please her more in the future.
"Um."
Wei Wuyan then thought of Chen Zhishao, "What about the Chen family?"
"I will handle this matter properly. Don't worry, he's just a son who doesn't uphold the proper conduct of a husband and has brought shame to the Chen family. No one will care about him."
His father is always the most capable in handling matters, so he trusts him.
Sure enough, it's best to leave all these scheming and intrigue to his father. He only needs to live a carefree and unrestrained life and send those people to hell!
