Chapter 93 Dirty Heart
Hearing Ye Lin's screams, Wen Yingxue couldn't help but close her eyes, and then her ears were blocked by someone.
Nie Chubai stood in front of her, blocking the bloody scene and covering her ears.
Wen Yingxue looked at Nie Chubai, whose eyes were a little dazed and confused, stood up, and covered his ears with her hands.
Wen Yingxue smiled and mouthed, "I'm here."
Nie Chubai nodded.
The sound quickly disappeared, and the secret guard brought Ye Lin's eyeballs and tongue in.
As for that thing, it was not suitable to be sent to Nie Chubai and Wen Yingxue for review, so it was thrown away directly.
Hearing the screams outside the house, all the women in Ye Lin's room began to cry softly.
Nie Chubai directly asked the officers and soldiers to come in and take these people away, and deal with them as the families of criminals.
After everyone left, Nie Chubai let go of Wen Yingxue but did not look back.
"I took revenge, but I don't know why? I always feel empty in my heart. I don't know what to do all of a sudden?" Nie Chubai touched his chest in confusion and asked Wen Yingxue.
Before Wen Yingxue could answer, he saw the eyes and tongue on the ground, and his body shook suddenly.
"Why don't you know what to do? Didn't you say that you would accompany me to see the lanterns every year? You also said that you would treat me better than my dad treats me. Can't these be your future goals?" Wen Yingxue said.
She knew that Nie Chubai was alive just for revenge, and now that his revenge had been achieved, she suddenly felt at a loss as to what to do next.
"They are just your enemies, not the reason for your survival. You still have a long time to live, and you still have me."
Looking at Wen Yingxue, Nie Chubai's confused eyes finally cleared up, and he nodded seriously.
"Yes! I said I would accompany you to see the lanterns every year. I will pester you for the rest of my life."
Wen Yingxue nodded, then added: "Besides, Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan are not dead yet, we still have to deal with them."
"You're right, let's go home."
"good!"
Tonight, not only the entire Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion was executed, but also Prime Minister Lin's Mansion, the Zhang family, and other families who supported the Fifth Prince the most strongly, all had their properties ransacked.
Zhang Ge Lao was the one who regretted the most at this time. He was already very old and would retire in a year or two.
He had not originally intended to get involved in the fight for the throne, but because of Zhang, he could not swallow this humiliation and ended up with a miserable old age.
The new emperor did not kill Zhang Ge Lao, but instead forced him to retire and sent him back to the countryside along with his two sons.
The imperial court was in great turmoil. A wave of court officials were demoted, while another was promoted. Some were happy while others were sad.
The emperor's brothers were all given the title of princes.
Nie Chu, Bai An, Wen Yuan and Hao Wanlin are the three greatest contributors to the cause of following the dragon.
An Wenyuan became the new Prime Minister, and the Emperor granted him a marriage with Princess Biyun. They were to marry after the one-year national mourning period.
Hao Wanlin was conferred the title of second-rank Huaiyuan General, replacing Nie Chubai's position.
Nie Chubai was granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, holding the tiger talisman and able to lead the three armies.
Wen Yingxue became the wife of Marquis Dingyuan.
The happiest person was Wen Ze. Although Wen Yingxue had severed their father-daughter relationship, Wen Yuyan became the queen and he became the father-in-law of the emperor.
Wen Ze also understood. The day after Wen Yuyan was canonized as queen, Aunt Yang was promoted to become Wen Ze's wife.
On the second day after the late emperor's coffin was placed on Lianxin Lake Island, the late queen, the newly appointed empress dowager, also passed away because she missed the late emperor too much.
Poor Wen Yingxue, she had just finished crying for the late emperor and now she had to cry for the empress dowager.
"Today, the emperor really demonstrated the role of a filial son to the fullest. If I didn't know that the empress dowager was killed by the emperor, I would have thought they were biological mother and son." In the evening, after returning to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, Wen Yingxue complained to Nie Chubai.
Nie Chubai patted Wen Yingxue's butt and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The Queen Mother killed the Emperor's mother and bullied the Emperor for so many years. Now that he is the Emperor, he naturally has to understand her.
Now, this is just for show to the world."
Wen Yingxue nodded and said, "I know, I just feel a little sad."
Seeing Wen Yingxue lying obediently on the bed, Nie Chubai's hand that was patting her butt gradually turned into a gentle caress: "What are you sighing about?"
Wen Yingxue slapped Nie Chubai's dishonest hand away and said, "Those who play tactics have dirty hearts."
"What do you mean?" Nie Chubai asked.
Wen Yingxue glanced at the smiling Nie Chubai and rolled her eyes. Okay, this is also a heart thing.
When the eighth prince ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to handle affairs, and the second thing he did was to check the situation of the national treasury.
Then the new emperor sadly discovered that even with the treasure in the Eagle King's tomb, the treasury was still not very full.
Moreover, now is the time to use money. The emperor counted on his fingers and calculated that even with the subsidies from Wen Yuyan's shop, the treasury would be empty in less than three years. This is also under the condition of annual taxes.
At this time, the new emperor realized that becoming an emperor seemed to be a wrong decision.
Just when the emperor wanted to make more money, the Ninth Prince, who was rich enough to rival a country, suddenly came into the emperor's sight.
Looking at the Ninth Prince, whose body was glowing with golden light, the Emperor swallowed his saliva.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Qi Chen saluted the emperor.
The emperor was born with a smiling face, and now his smile was even more amiable, which made Qi Chen feel creepy when he looked at him.
What's going on? The emperor looks at him strangely! Ouch! I feel a little sick. What should I do?
"Ninth brother! Why are you here? What's going on?"
Qi Chen suppressed his discomfort and said, "Brother Emperor, I came here to ask for an imperial edict."
"Oh, you want an imperial edict? What for?" The emperor's eyes brightened even more and he asked with a smile.
"I want to marry a princess. Please, my royal brother, grant the marriage. The one I want to marry is Nie Chubai's sister, Zi Su." Qi Chen bowed.
"So that's it. I don't agree."
Qi Chen said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Hmm? Why don't you agree?"
Seeing the emperor smiling brightly, Qi Chen thought the matter was settled, but he didn't expect the emperor to refuse with a smile on his face.
If I don’t agree, why are you laughing?
The emperor sighed and said, "Ninth brother! You and I both know exactly what Zi Su's status is. How can she be worthy of you? She can only be a concubine, not a principal wife."
Qi Chen hurriedly said: "Royal brother, I don't mind."
"Shh! I know you don't mind, but the royal family does. You can only be a concubine, not a principal wife. Okay, go down. I still have things to do." The emperor's face changed quickly, and then he kicked Qi Chen out.
Watching Qi Chen's back disappear, the emperor suddenly threw away his pen and tiptoed to the door to peek.
Seeing Qi Chen's dejected look, the emperor suddenly laughed cunningly, then put his arms behind his back and staggered back to the dragon table.
"You said you had no money, but now the money is here. Looks like we need to add some fuel to the fire. Hehehehehe!"
