Chapter 113 Those who dare to disobey will be killed
Li Wuyang said calmly, "Forty years ago, on the night of the palace coup, Crown Prince Li led an army into the palace, attempting to usurp the throne. After the plot failed, his entire family was executed, leaving no one alive. Only Ji Qi, who was kept as a foster child, escaped."
"At that time, Master Ji was the teacher of Crown Prince Li. He secretly brought the infant Ji Qi back home and raised him as his own son."
In just a few words, he revealed the turbulent situation in the palace forty years ago.
Prince Consort Ji’s face turned pale.
The Ji family head's expression turned extremely ugly, "This is impossible!"
Although he said this, he knew in his heart that he was right.
How foolish! How could you take in the son of a sinner? There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world!
Princess Yongning's body was shaky, but she managed to say, "Ninth brother, your impromptu story is quite convincing."
Li Wuyang shattered her fantasy with one sentence, "There is a record in the royal secret files."
Princess Yongning's pupils trembled violently and her face instantly lost color.
Did the palace already know about this? So, in the eyes of the Emperor and Li Wuyang, she was just a clown after all her efforts to stir up trouble?
But why didn't the emperor pursue the matter? This didn't fit his suspicious nature.
Li Wuyang said calmly, "The Emperor was kind and turned a blind eye, not killing everyone. Princess Yongning, you deliberately set up this trap and dragged Ji Qi into it. What are you trying to do?"
That happened when the late emperor was fighting for the throne. The late emperor did not pursue it, so the current emperor naturally won't interfere.
Princess Yongning was extremely confused, but she reacted very quickly.
"I don't know this secret at all, so how can it be a deliberate trap? Ninth brother, I know you want to avenge Princess Jinyun, so I said this."
"I was wrong today. As the host, I failed to protect the guests."
"Princess Jinyun, I apologize to you. I owe you a favor. If you have any problems in the future, please come to me and I will grant you whatever you ask."
Most people would be ecstatic to throw out such a big bait.
However, Yun Zheng was extremely smart and could see the poison in the bait at a glance.
He used her to frame her, and now he's using her as a shield. What good things are he planning?
"When I have something to ask, I can only ask the Ninth Prince for help. If that doesn't work, I'll ask the Emperor for help. You can't do it! It's useless!"
This straightforward statement of the truth made Princess Yongning tremble with anger, and made everyone else laugh and cry.
Yes, the most powerful person in the world, besides the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, is the Emperor.
Ji Qi slumped on the ground, his eyes dull as he stared at the ground, countless fragments flashing through his mind.
Although he was a concubine's son, he received the most favor since childhood and had everything he wanted. If he couldn't bear the hardship of studying, he would not study.
While his other brothers were studying hard, he was playing with crickets.
While other brothers were practicing riding and shooting, he was snuggling with beautiful women in brothels.
He used to be proud of such preference, but was it really preference?
"Nine Thousand Years Old, I don't believe it. If I were the son of the Crown Prince, how could the Emperor not kill me?"
Li Wuyang's eyes were cold and indifferent. "Because you will never be able to have children in this lifetime. It is impossible for you to have an heir. The lineage of Prince Li ends with you."
Ji Qi's whole body was shaking, and his lips were trembling. "So, you've already done something to me?"
Li Wuyang looked at this guy who had long been spoiled, and his heart remained calm.
"You should be glad that you are still alive."
"If it weren't for what happened today, your life story would have been buried in history, and you would have lived the rest of your life in peace."
Once it is revealed, there will be no peace and life and death will be unpredictable.
His gaze fell on Prince Consort Ji, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. "As quiet as a chrysanthemum?" Haha.
"If you want to blame someone, blame the Ji family and Princess Yongning for their ambition."
"Come here, take everyone from the Ji family into custody and wait for the Emperor's orders. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"
"yes."
At his command, no one dared to resist.
There was one room for men and one room for women, both of which were locked up and heavily guarded.
The implicated members of the Ji family were angry and scared, and complained continuously.
The clan leader's lips trembled, and he was extremely angry. "It's been forty years, why are you digging it up again? Prince Consort, you are confused."
Prince Consort Ji lowered his head and said nothing.
The Queen looked around in bewilderment. How could she explain this Spring Banquet to the Emperor?
The old nanny beside her asked tremblingly, "Empress, will the banquet continue?"
The queen hesitated for a moment, looking at the young girls in gorgeous attire all over the garden, and said, "Continue."
In the garden, everyone was eating, drinking, laughing and chatting, as if nothing had happened.
Someone suggested, "Sitting around is boring, why not play some games? Does anyone have any good suggestions?"
The eldest princess smiled and said, "How about a talent show?"
Everyone was waiting for this sentence and was very excited.
The eldest princess asked, "Who will come first?"
Miss Gu, the granddaughter of the dean of Qingyun Academy, was the first to step forward. "I'll do it."
She is well-known for her talent and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She sat in front of the guqin, took a deep breath, put her hand on it, and the melodious sound of the guqin rang out.
Yun Zheng admires these people's psychological qualities.
Jiangcheng County Princess chuckled and said, "It's none of my business."
Yun Zheng nodded with a smile, "Indeed, choosing concubines for the princes is more important than anything else."
Both of them were chattering in a relaxed manner without any desires.
The third prince glared at them unhappily. What a noisy couple!
After the song was over, thunderous applause broke out. The two of them clapped a few times following the crowd, with a perfunctory attitude.
Miss Gu suddenly looked over and said, "Princess Jinyun, what do you think of my playing?"
Yun Zheng was a little confused. They weren't familiar with each other, were they? "Not bad."
Miss Gu pursed her lips. She was actually chatting while playing the piano. This was disrespectful to her and to art.
"What do you mean by 'okay'? Do you understand?"
Yun Zheng casually said, "I played two notes wrong. I was a little nervous in the first section, and at the end, I was too eager to succeed, so I made another mistake."
Miss Gu's expression froze. How could he hear her even though she was so perfunctory?
The son of the Minister of Revenue was unhappy. He fell in love with Miss Gu at first sight and immediately stood up.
"You know so much, so why don't you let everyone open their eyes?"
Several young masters echoed, "You can do it, go ahead."
Yun Zheng has a clear distinction between love and hate, dares to love and hate, and has a polarized reputation.
Those who like her like her very much, and those who hate her hate her to death.
Many young gentlemen disliked her, thinking that she had stolen their limelight and resources and obtained the royal favor and attention they had always dreamed of.
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled, and she came up with an idea. "This is too childish, boring. If we want to play, let's play big."
Jiangcheng County Princess was very supportive and asked, "How do we play?"
Yun Zheng looked at the young gentlemen and daughters of famous families present, her eyes sparkling.
The opportunity to grab the fat sheep and control the six ministers has come!
Hahaha, she wants to make a contribution! She wants a divorce!
"Is the Queen interested in making some money?"
As soon as Li Wuyang saw her expression, he knew that she was going to cause trouble, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Looking forward to it!
The palace is the most luxurious place in the world, but it actually has a strict hierarchy and restrictions on food, clothing and daily expenses.
As the mother of a country, she naturally has no shortage of things, but her expenses are also high.
This is so true! Who doesn't know that she has the Midas touch?
The Queen sat up straight, her eyes instantly shining. Was it her turn to be happy? "Tell me about it."
