Chapter 226: Your Majesty, I implore you to grant me marriage (Part 2)
Can't we all just look over here?
Li Wuyang's eyes were icy and terrifying. "The Emperor hasn't spoken yet. When will it be your turn to speak? You are just a prince. You should stick to your duties."
The Third Prince knew he was getting anxious, but he had no other choice. He absolutely could not allow these two to marry! Never!
"Father, I have overstepped my bounds, but I am truly worried."
He rolled his eyes and said, "Ninth Prince is in charge of the Mirror Bureau and has enormous power. Yun Zheng owns the huge Yun family business and is an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He controls a lot of resources and makes money like water."
"The combination of money and power is a huge force. Your Majesty, can you still sleep at night?"
These words directly exposed the emperor's suspicion, but also angered him.
There are some things he knows very well, but he cannot point them out. Where would he put his face?
"What the hell are you talking about? Shut up."
"Nothing is wrong. I have never doubted your loyalty."
Li Wuyang said calmly, "As long as the emperor trusts me, nothing else matters."
The third prince was very angry. His father was too partial. He was extremely harsh to his own son, but very tolerant to his younger brother.
He cried out, "Anyway, whenever I think about this, I can't sleep or eat, and I'm terrified."
Li Wuyang said in a cold tone, "Then you are too fragile. You have not inherited the emperor's great talent and courage. It is difficult for you to achieve great things."
These words were equivalent to blocking the third prince's path to success.
Li Wuyang cupped his hands, his expression serious. "Brother, although I have no intention of marrying, now that things have come to this, I must shoulder the responsibilities that a man should bear and give an explanation to Princess Jinyun."
"Please help me, my royal brother."
The Emperor has always wanted his ninth brother to get married, but now that he is willing to get married, this choice of person... is not acceptable.
"No worries, don't push yourself. I don't want to see the two people I trust the most become a couple of enemies."
The corners of the Third Prince's mouth rose slightly. He knew this would happen.
No emperor would allow a powerful official to marry a wealthy man. His father was too suspicious.
"Yes, yes, father is right. A forced melon is not sweet. You won't be happy if you force yourself to be together."
Li Wuyang was annoyed, what an unlucky thing!
"Then, Your Majesty, please teach me how to silence everyone present?"
He looked at everyone with murderous intent in his eyes, "Kill them all? Not impossible."
Everyone in the audience was shocked and trembling, help!
Who doesn't know that Jiu Qian Sui is a murderer and is cold-blooded and heartless?
Everyone is afraid of being targeted by him.
Someone boldly advised, "As the saying goes, people's words are terrifying. When something like this happens, a man can still say it's a romantic thing and laugh it off. But for a woman, it's fatal. Your Majesty, please grant the marriage."
No one knows whether Jiuqian Sui will suddenly go crazy and kill people randomly. You only have one life, so who dares to take a gamble?
"Your Majesty, things have come to this, why not just cover them with a brocade quilt? The Ninth Prince and Princess Jinyun are a match made in heaven, their talent and beauty are perfect for each other, let them get married."
"Yes, Princess Jinyun is a woman, and the world is especially harsh on women. Your Majesty, please leave Princess Jinyun a way to survive."
Everyone pleaded for mercy one after another, but the emperor remained silent.
Li Wuyang's eyes were gloomy, "Royal brother, please don't let me down!"
The head of the Lei family's eyes flickered slightly. "I don't agree. Princess Jinyun is not an ordinary woman. She is an official of Da Qi and has a strong psychological quality. There is no need for her to marry for fame."
The Lei family members came out in support, "That's right, that's right. She hangs out with men every day and has lost her good reputation. Is she still afraid of others pointing fingers? She has no right to be the Princess of Rui."
"One is from a merchant family, and the other is from the royal family. They are not a good match."
Since we are destined to be enemies fighting to the death, we must never let the enemy become stronger.
The emperor looked at the woman who had remained silent. "Jinyun, what do you say?"
Yun Zheng's expression was calm. "It's all up to the emperor."
The emperor's eyes were heavy, his thoughts were indescribably complicated. "Tell me what you think."
"I..." Yun Zheng pursed her lips. Just as she was about to say something, her arm was grabbed by Yun Mu. Yun Mu's eyes were red and tears were shining. "Zheng'er."
Yun Zheng's heart trembled, and she felt guilty. "According to my thoughts, I don't want to get married. I just want to be a good official and make money for the emperor."
Yunmu fell to her knees with a thud, "Your Majesty, please have mercy and grant my daughter a marriage with Prince Rui. My daughter has suffered so much, and as a mother, I don't want her to suffer any more criticism."
Yun Zheng knelt down, her expression solemn. "But, I have parents and a family. My parents gave birth to me, raised me, and loved me with all they had."
"I don't care about the rumors, but they shouldn't be humiliated because of me. Please grant me that, Your Majesty!"
Madam Lei Wu sneered coldly, "Madam Yun, it's not a big deal. Why are you so nervous? Your daughter hangs out with men all day, and you don't even try to discipline her..."
This completely infuriated Yunmu. "The men in the Lei family are useless. They rely on selling their daughters for fame and fortune, time and time again. They are so shameless that they naturally don't care about these things."
The Lei family was humiliated and extremely angry. "You are shameless, your whole family is shameless..."
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the emperor coldly stopped them, "Enough, shut up and deal with the matter at hand first."
He pointed at the unconscious Cao Dewen and said, "Wake this bastard up. I want to hear what he has to say."
Yun Zheng and Li Wuyang exchanged glances. The emperor's suspicion was too severe.
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled, a plan came to her mind, and she moved in front of Cao Dewen calmly.
Li Wuyang nodded slightly, "Splash it with water."
A basin of cold water poured over him, and Cao Dewen was awakened. He was completely bewildered. Where was he? Why was his whole body in pain?
Just as he was about to take in his surroundings, a cold female voice rang out, "Are you awake? Are you okay? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the tendons in your hands and feet have been severed. You'll be a cripple for the rest of your life..."
It was Yun Zheng. She took the initiative to move forward with a disdainful smile on her lips and a provocative look in her eyes.
When Cao Dewen saw her, he suddenly remembered the scene before he fell into coma. A surge of anger rushed to his head and he lost his mind.
"Ahhh, Yun Zheng, you bitch, just wait for me. If I don't take revenge, I'm not a gentleman. I will ruin your reputation! I want you dead!"
He hated it so much that his eyes were bloodshot and all he could see was Yun Zheng.
She ruined herself!
His ambition and aspirations were shattered because of a woman!
Yun Zheng sneered, "Just you? A mere salt merchant? I'm a princess personally appointed by the imperial court, haha."
Cao Dewen's eyes were filled with resentment and anger, "Just because I'm the Third Prince's man! Just because the Third Prince is the future crown prince!"
The whole audience was silent, and everyone looked at the Third Prince with different expressions.
The third prince closed his eyes, you bastard!
The emperor's face was as gloomy as water and he snorted coldly.
Yun Zheng heard it and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, it's stable!
If you dare to plot against her, just wait for your entire family to be executed!
Her desire for revenge is super strong!
