The next day, no one knew what Prince An and the Empress had discussed in secret the night before. All that was known was that the Empress's decree had been issued early in the morning, which was to bestow the title of princess upon Prince An's daughter and send her to the Southern Dynasty for a marriage alliance with the Southern Dynasty's envoys in the near future.
The news has already spread throughout the capital and will soon reach the entire Great Wei, including the Southern Dynasty.
When the Southern Emperor finds out, he'll discover that things are completely opposite to what he imagined, and he'll probably be so angry he'll vomit blood!
When Hua Manlou and Liu Feng heard that along with these news items, there was also the story of Yang Yurong, the Fifth Miss of the Yang Clan, asking for marriage from the Prince of Ye of the Southern Dynasty before the Emperor, which angered the Empress. As a result, she was flogged twenty times and then sent directly to the villa by the Prime Minister, all they felt was disbelief, sadness, and despair.
Those who usually disliked him also came over to kick him while he was down, saying, "You really thought he would be interested in you? He was just playing around."
"Yes! But with her status, she still wants to climb up to Prince Ye? You two are birds of a feather!"
With Yang Yurong's fall from power, her talent and reputation could no longer help her. Or rather, her talent and reputation were based on her status as the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, but she never saw this clearly, believing she was relying on the power of her descendants. Having lost the Prime Minister's family's protection and angered the Empress, no one was willing to help her.
As for the businesses under her control, they naturally couldn't be protected either, and they were all divided up by others, with the Prime Minister's residence taking half of them.
"No, no, she said she would marry me, take me away from here, and treat me well for the rest of her life," Liu Feng cried.
Seeing Liu Feng's seemingly insane state, the others said nothing more. They were all pitiful people; they just couldn't stand how he had relied on Yang Yurong before, acting all high and mighty and looking down on everyone.
However, this brothel will never be his refuge again...
The Sixth Princess's Residence.
Wei Wangqing: "Have you found out who the assassin was last night?"
Li Nuo replied, "They are Ye Wang's men."
"Prince Ye?" Wei Wangqing frowned. Just who is this Wuchen?
"Yes, the other party didn't seem to try to hide anything, so we found out quickly."
What does Prince Ye mean by this? He's not only killing people without any real intention, but also making a big show of it. Isn't this just bluffing? No, he's putting on a show for others. Who else could make the mighty Prince Ye put on such a performance?
Haha! I think I've saved someone extraordinary this time!
"Have someone send a formal letter to Prince Ye; I want to meet him." He added, "Privately, and don't let anyone else know."
After all, Wei Wangqing didn't want others to misunderstand that she had any dealings with the Southern Dynasty.
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
embassy.
Prince Ye: "The Sixth Princess?"
"yes."
Ye Wang smiled coldly: "She investigated quite quickly. It seems she's not as incompetent as the rumors suggest."
"Then let's meet."
Wei Wangqing was secretly sent to the embassy by Li Nuo.
Looking at the man who had almost become her husband, Wei Wangqing realized that her resistance to a political marriage was not without reason. His arrogant and self-important attitude was simply repulsive.
All I can do in my heart is pray for Nan Xiangyue's well-being.
"What do you want?" the man sitting down asked lazily.
"I want to know about Wuchen's background."
"Ha! Why should I tell you?" Nan Lin didn't even look at her directly, only glancing at her lightly.
"If the Southern Emperor knew that Prince Ye was only putting on an act and was actually disobeying orders, that would probably be bad!"
"So what? He's disliked me for a long time, but what can he do about it?"
Look at that arrogant tone again.
It's infuriating! Wei Wangqing actually felt that he understood the Southern Emperor a little.
"And what about the fact that Prince Ye changed his choice for the marriage alliance? The Southern Emperor originally intended for a princess, but Prince Ye chose a noblewoman instead. And regarding Prince An... Prince Ye couldn't possibly not know that!"
"If the Southern Emperor were to join forces with his ministers to attack you, Prince Ye, I'm afraid you would be in a very difficult position."
Wei Wangqing deliberately spoke ambiguously, after all, she only guessed about Prince An and did not actually know him.
Ye Wang's face instantly darkened. "You're threatening me?"
"No, I just wanted to have an open and honest talk with Prince Ye, but he doesn't seem to be cooperating."
King Ye suddenly laughed, "I underestimated you."
"Fine, I might as well tell you, so that old geezer can lose face."
"Wuchen is the child of the late emperor and the princess."
Even though Wei Wangqing was mentally prepared, he was still greatly surprised when he heard it.
Ye Wang looked at her leisurely and continued, "Judging from Wu Chen's appearance, you can easily tell how beautiful his mother must be. His mother is a princess, and she is stunningly beautiful. There are countless suitors and admirers. But she attracts not only those people, but also that old codger, oh, that is, the princess's own brother."
As Wei Wangqing listened to the royal secret being revealed, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"It's not that she didn't resist, but who would believe it? One is a princess of unparalleled beauty, and the other is the supreme crown prince. Even if it were made public, people would only think that the princess couldn't stand being alone and seduced her own brother. She even tried to kill herself, but that old bastard always managed to find her weakness and use the people around her to threaten her."
"The worst part is, she's pregnant!"
"Ha! An unmarried princess is pregnant!"
"She still couldn't bring herself to abort the child and wanted to give birth secretly. The Crown Prince naturally wouldn't agree, but somehow she managed to persuade him. On the day the child was born, no one knew what happened, but the palace maids, old women, and all the servants, including... the princess, were all killed."
"From then on, no one in the palace dared to mention Princess Jiaoyue again, as if she had never existed."
"That old bastard thought the child was dead until his death. I just don't know how my royal nephew found out he was still alive. He's been trying to cover up his father's scandal." He chuckled after saying that.
Seeing that Wei Wangqing was still in a daze, he said, "There's no need to be so shocked. There are plenty of dirty things in the royal family. As a member of the royal family, you don't need to be so surprised."
"It's nothing, I'm just surprised by Prince Ye's frankness."
"Hmph, I wouldn't stoop to lying. Besides, I don't care about the royal family's reputation. I'd be happy if that old codger got stigmatized even after he dies! And it'll make my royal nephew unable to hold his head up high."
That's right, it's something only someone as unscrupulous as Prince Ye would do.
"Will Prince Ye send assassins again?" Wei Wangqing asked directly.
"Once is enough. I don't have that much free time. Besides, this little emperor has caused me so much trouble. How could I possibly grant his wish?"
"Thank you for informing me, Prince Ye. I shall take my leave now." Wei Wangqing cupped his hands in greeting.
"So you really do use and discard things! Alright, let's go! Go back and comfort your little male concubine."
Wei Wangqing frowned. "He's not."
After saying that, he turned and left.
King Ye did not care and summoned his subordinates, preparing to return to court soon.
