Chapter 53 Wei Yang's Past
"My husband, please be careful with your words." Zhao Quan wanted to cover Xie Zhi's mouth. Although Wei Yang was not favored by His Majesty, he was still a prince of the Wei Dynasty. Saying that he was unlucky for his husband was just trying to please His Majesty.
"Master, my Qiang'er is gone. If he hadn't insisted on marrying this bitch, how could I be childless today? It must be his fault." Xie Zhi was too sad at this moment to care about much else.
Xie Zhi didn't like Wei Yang from the beginning. Even though he was a prince, without the support of a powerful family, he would be of no use to his son.
Not only that, in the past four years, not only has she failed to win her husband's heart, but she has also been unable to have children. I really don't know why my son is so obsessed.
Wei Yang sat there blankly, without any rebuttal, his thoughts drifting back to four years ago.
Four years ago, before Sheng Yuan left, he asked him to wait for him and gave him a golden hairpin. He waited for Sheng Yuan's return in this palace day after day.
Later, news came from the front line that Sheng Yuan was seriously injured. Although his life was not in danger, his legs were disabled. Wei Yang was devastated when he heard the news and fell into a coma.
When he woke up, he went to ask about Sheng Yuan's situation despite the risk of being scolded by Emperor Wei. After several inquiries, he found out that Emperor Wei and Queen Jun were in Queen Jun's palace.
Wei Yang came to Fengxiang Palace alone without any palace servants. No one stopped him after he arrived. At this time, Wei Yang didn't care about many things. He just wanted to know the news about Sheng Yuan.
After entering, Wei Yang was stopped by the Queen's personal eunuch, who pulled him behind the curtain and signaled Wei Yang not to speak.
"Your Majesty, we have lost several cities on the front line. These barbarian thieves are truly hateful." The Queen began her performance when she saw Wei Yang coming in.
"Hmph, Sheng Yuan is the son of General Sheng, but he is really useless. It hasn't been long since he was overthrown by the bandits and lost several cities in a row. His crime is simply unforgivable and he deserves death." Emperor Wei was very angry about Sheng Yuan's loss of several cities in a row.
In the eyes of Emperor Wei, there is no one left in the Sheng family who can fight. Sheng Yuan is now useless and can no longer be of any help on the battlefield. There is nothing wrong with executing such a person.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You have been worried about the war these days. Why don't you take a nap here with me?" The Queen pretended to be understanding and comforted him.
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty are so thoughtful. In that case, I will take a rest for a while." The emperor suddenly felt a little sleepy for some unknown reason.
When the Queen saw that the Emperor was fast asleep, she came to the side hall. The Queen's personal eunuch immediately brought Wei Yang to the side hall. Wei Yang knew that the Queen might have deliberately lured him here.
"Please, Queen, save Sheng Yuan's life." Wei Yang was isolated and helpless at this time, so he could only ask the person in front of him for help.
"You can save him if you want, but what are you willing to pay for it?" Jun Hou sat on the couch and said while drinking tea.
"As long as I can save Sheng Yuan, I'm willing to do anything." Wei Yang knew that the only thing he could plot against was him.
"I guess you are also a smart person. At the flower-viewing banquet in the uterus a few days ago, my nephew fell in love with you and insisted on marrying you. If you agree to marry him, I can save Sheng Yuan's life." The Queen narrowed her eyes and looked at Wei Yang calculatingly.
The Queen was also having a headache. His brother-in-law had come to him for help, and he was really at a loss. But he was just a prince born to a lowly concubine, and he had plenty of ways to make him agree.
"Your son is willing. I only ask Your Majesty to save Sheng Yuan's life." Wei Yang replied with difficulty while kneeling on the ground. Tears could not help but fall to the ground silently.
"In that case, go back." The Queen didn't want to waste any more words with Wei Yang. He looked down on Wei Yang. In the Queen's opinion, it was a great blessing for him to marry his nephew.
"I want to hear with my own ears that my father agrees to let Sheng Yuan go." Wei Yang was worried that the queen would go back on her word, so he had to hear it with his own ears before he was willing to leave.
"It's really troublesome. Just stand there for a while." The Queen couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was really not presentable.
Wei Yang responded in a low voice, and then stood straight in the same place as before. Wei Yang only hoped that Sheng Yuan could survive. As long as he survived, there was still hope.
The emperor slept for an hour before getting up, and Wei Yang also stood there for an hour. The queen never ordered anyone to bring a chair to Wei Yang from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty, you are awake. I have thought about what happened before, and I don't know whether I should say something or not." The Queen said gently while tidying up the emperor's clothes.
"Well, you say." The emperor opened his arms and let the queen serve him.
"Your Majesty, you said before that you wanted to sentence Sheng Yuan to death, but most of the soldiers on the front line are General Sheng's former subordinates. If we punish Sheng Yuan, I'm afraid those soldiers on the front line will be dissatisfied."
"Hmph, they dare." The emperor didn't care. This whole world belongs to the king. Could it be that they want to rebel?
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, so they naturally dare not have such thoughts. But now everything is more important than the overall situation. Sheng Yuan is nothing, so Your Majesty should just ignore him." The Queen consoled.
After hearing what the Queen had said, the Emperor had some concerns in his heart. If General Sheng's former subordinates did not fight well on the front line in order to protect Sheng Yuan, the losses would be great.
"Since the Queen has pleaded for him, I will spare him this time." The emperor walked down the stairs.
"Your Majesty is wise." The Queen took the opportunity to flatter him.
"I still have official business to attend to, so I'll leave first." After a good sleep, the emperor, feeling refreshed, left Fengxiang Palace.
After confirming that the emperor had left, the queen sat in the main seat with a sullen face and said to Wei Yang behind the curtain, "Come out."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave." When Wei Yang heard that his father was willing to let Sheng Yuan go, his heart settled down and he fell silent.
Wei Yang waited and waited in the palace, but there was no news of Sheng Yuan's arrival in Beijing. Instead, he received the imperial edict granting the marriage. Wei Yang felt nothing after receiving the edict, as he had known that this day would come.
When Wei Rong heard the news, he rushed to Wei Yang Palace immediately. Wei Rong was still young at that time, but he also knew that marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion was not a good thing.
"Brother, why would His Majesty grant you and Zhao Qiang a marriage?" Wei Rong asked Wei Yang while suppressing his anger.
Wei Rong is Wei Yang's younger brother, so he would not hide anything from Wei Rong, and told Wei Rong everything that happened in the Queen's Palace that day.
"Brother, it's obvious that the Queen deliberately lured you into this. Why are you so stupid?" Wei Rong looked at Wei Yang with some disappointment.
"I know."
"You know you still agreed to it, for that Sheng Yuan, is it worth it?" Wei Rong was very angry. He was angry that Wei Yang gave up her marriage for a man.
"It's worth it, Rong'er. From now on, when your brother is not in the palace, you have to take good care of yourself, okay?" Wei Yang reminded her worriedly.
"I'm going to ignore you." Wei Rong left angrily. He really couldn't accept this fact.
