Chapter 112 Dagger or Poison, Choose One
Li Wuyang's expression was icy. "Chief Ji, if you can't handle this matter properly, then submit it to the emperor and ask him to make the final decision."
Everyone knows that the emperor hates this kind of scandal the most.
The head of the Ji family broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head desperately, "The emperor is busy with many things every day, so I won't bother him with such family matters."
This is not an ordinary scandal. If it disgusts the emperor, the Ji family will be in big trouble.
Ji Fangfei was still pleading with her eyes wide open, "Nine Thousand Years Old, please marry me. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
Gu Yu could no longer bear it. "How dare you, a withered flower and withered willow, covet my prince? Are you worthy? You have no sense of shame."
Ji Fangfei turned a deaf ear and gave it her all, making a passionate confession.
"Nine Thousand Years Old, I have loved you since childhood and only want to marry you. Please, for the sake of our true love, save me."
Even if a man doesn't like a woman who is madly in love with him, he will still feel inexplicably soft-hearted.
Ji Fangfei's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful. "I don't want any status. As long as I can serve the prince, I will be satisfied."
Yun Zheng curled her lips. Ji Fangfei was really scheming. She knew it was impossible for her to marry Li Wuyang, but she still played this trick.
First make an excessive request, then make a smaller request. This will increase the chances of getting agreed to. This is called the concession tactic.
First he asked for marriage, then he took a step back when he was rejected.
She doesn't ask for marriage or as a wife, she just wants to be by his side. That's humble enough, isn't it? As long as the Ninth Prince has a little sympathy, she can get away with it.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
It would be even better if I could stay with Jiu Qian Sui. I can always find a chance to turn the situation around.
Most men in this world are kind and gentle to women.
However, the Ninth Thousand Years Old is not an ordinary person, "This King finds it dirty."
Ji Fangfei's face was as pale as paper, and hatred in her heart grew like weeds.
"Why is the prince so caring towards Yun Zheng, an abandoned woman, but so mean to me?"
Li Wuyang's expression was terrifyingly cold. "She is not an abandoned woman. She is open, brave, sincere, and passionate. She is completely different from you."
"Most importantly, she is very useful. She is useful to the country, the people, the court, and the army."
So, why do you compare with her?
Yun Zheng felt very happy. Was she so good in the eyes of Jiuqian Sui?
Ji Fangfei felt as if she had been slapped hard, "Your Majesty, what is the difference between her and me?"
She considered herself to be of noble birth, as her grandfather's generation had once been glorious.
What about Yun Zheng? She was just a merchant's daughter, her ancestors had been pariahs for generations.
Yun Zheng rolled her eyes. After all, she was unwilling to admit defeat to a merchant's daughter.
Li Wuyang's expression turned cold, "You, a shady piece of trash."
"She is a pillar of talent recognized by the emperor."
She had to force him to say such harsh words. It was her own fault.
Ji Fangfei was extremely embarrassed. "Isn't it just about making money? It's just a small business trick. You stink of money..."
Li Wuyang lost his patience and said, "In that case, I will report this matter directly to the Emperor."
Patriarch Ji couldn't help but get anxious, "No, no, no, Your Majesty, please have mercy and let me handle it."
He had someone bring a dagger and poisoned wine, "Ji Fangfei, Ji Qi, you choose one."
The two of them were trembling with fear, and Ji Fangfei even burst into tears, "Sister-in-law, save me."
Princess Yongning frowned, "Chief, she's still young and was murdered. Why don't you show some mercy and send her to a temple to become a nun?"
The head of the Ji family hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to offend Princess Yongning, so he subconsciously looked at Li Wuyang.
Li Wuyang looked at them coldly, as if he were looking at a group of clowns.
The head of the Ji family felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but the Ninth Thousand Year Old was unwilling to show mercy.
"You two must die to preserve the good name of our family. I will bury you in our ancestral tomb and will not let you become wandering ghosts."
However, the two refused to commit suicide.
Seeing this, the head of the Ji family waved his hand and said, "Send them off."
The tribesmen stepped forward to carry out the execution, holding down the two men's bodies and pouring poison into their mouths.
The two men fought back desperately, the scene was in chaos, and the others quietly moved away.
Seeing the poison about to be poured into their mouths, the two were filled with despair. Princess Yongning could no longer hold back, "Stop it, everyone! Anyone who dares to touch them will be punished by me."
She also asked her men to stop them.
Li Wuyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly. She finally stood up and the evidence was conclusive.
"Grain Rain."
"I'm here."
Li Wuyang ordered, "Report what happened here to the emperor."
"Yes." Guyu responded and ran away.
Princess Yongning's expression changed slightly, and she had a bad feeling.
It wasn't too early, it wasn't too late, but it happened to be reported right after she came forward. Was this a coincidence? Why did it seem like they were waiting for her to come forward?
Could it be that he knew the secret?
No, that's impossible. That was forty years ago. He couldn't have known.
The Ji family was terrified and begged, "No, no, no, we will do it ourselves."
The head of the Ji family used his trump card, "Princess, if you stop me again, your entire family will be expelled from the clan."
"Princess, do you really want your two children to become people without a family?"
Princess Yongning looked struggling and uneasy.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out, "Show mercy."
"The prince consort is here."
Prince Consort Ji was handsome, and even in his middle age he was still graceful and elegant. "Your Majesty, Ji Qi is not from our Ji family. He is my father's adopted child."
When these words came out, everyone's eyes widened. Is this true?
"These two couldn't help themselves and did something bad, but love between men and women is human nature. Please, Ninth Prince, grant them happiness."
With just two sentences, he brushed the matter over lightly.
Ji Qi was like a drowning man who had grabbed the last piece of driftwood. His eyes lit up, "Yes, I'm not a member of the Ji family. Ji Fangfei and I are not uncle and nephew."
As long as he can save his life, he can have any last name.
"I'll marry her."
The prince consort looked calm, "We in the Ji family are not unreasonable people. We will not let you divorce your wife, so... just take her as your equal."
"Yes, yes." Ji Qi burst into tears of gratitude. His eldest brother was really the best. In order to save his life, he did not hesitate to tell a huge lie.
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled around, "Whose child is Ji Qi?"
The prince consort looked at her deeply, his expression puzzled, "An orphan, whose parents are unknown."
Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." The prince consort's tone was extremely firm.
Li Wuyang shouted coldly, "You're lying."
Prince Consort Ji raised his right hand with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, I swear to heaven that every word I said is true. If it is false, let me..."
He paused, and Yun Zheng said crisply, "The entire Ji family will be executed."
Prince Consort Ji frowned slightly, and Ji Yuer flew into a rage, "What does this have to do with you? Shut up."
Yun Zheng smiled, "Don't you dare?"
Prince Consort Ji took a deep breath and said, "Let my entire Ji family be executed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wuyang said calmly, "Ji Qi, your biological father is the former Crown Prince Li, and your biological mother is a prostitute."
"Boom." It was like a heavy bomb exploded in the crowd.
Everyone's expression changed. Oh my god, the sky is about to be broken!
