Chapter 35 Let’s die together
Yun Zheng smiled coldly and spared no effort to add insult to injury.
"The prince just said that Zhenzhen is his beloved. She is more important than his family, the Marquisate, and the king. For her, he will do whatever it takes, at any cost..."
Every word he said was like stepping on a minefield. Mingjingsi looked at Jiang Wenzhou with a different look. Is he still a romantic?
Being more important than family is unfilial!
More important than the king, that is disloyalty!
Mrs. Hou looked as if she had eaten shit, and glared at Ye Yichen hatefully. This was also a disaster.
Jiang Wenzhou felt unwell, his head buzzing. "You're talking nonsense. I never said that."
Yun Zheng pointed at the couple. What they said was even more disgusting. "Ye Yizhen is feigning injury, but she's actually fine. Jiang Wenzhou is shielding a criminal. Take them both away."
Ye Yizhen's eyes rolled around. What should she do?
"Sister-in-law, you are really crazy. My lords, please don't embarrass my husband. I will go with you now."
She got up and stumbled forward, gasping for air with every step, looking like she was about to die.
Jiang Wenzhou was heartbroken and rushed to the point of complaining, "I want to file a complaint with the emperor."
The Marquis's wife wanted to slap him in the face. Who could she sue? He ignored her for a woman. She had raised him in vain.
Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh. He had already been stripped of his position as a guard of the imperial guards, so how could he still be qualified to write a letter to the king?
Let’s wait until he takes the position of Marquis of Pingxi one day.
"Master Guyu, the prince is going to sue you, the Mingjing Division and the Ninth Prince. This person is narrow-minded, knows how to pretend, and fabricates facts. Please be careful."
This sound made everyone in the Mingjing Division change their expressions, and they stared at Jiang Wenzhou coldly.
They are cruel to outsiders, but they are loyal and devoted to Jiu Qian Sui.
Jiang Wenzhou involuntarily took a few steps back, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his hands and feet became weak.
Ye Yizhen was almost going crazy. How could such a person be so cruel as to prefer to injure eight hundred of his own men to kill a thousand enemies?
I really want to cover her mouth!
"Yun Zheng, if anything happens to the prince, you will also be implicated, so please stop adding insult to injury."
Jiang Wenzhou was moved by Ye Yizhen's gentleness and kindness, but was very angry at Yun Zheng's inconsiderateness.
"Yun Zheng, I will never fall in love with a vicious woman like you in my life, ever."
Yun Zheng laughed angrily, "Sir, they are stalling for time."
Jiang Wenzhou was determined to share the misfortune. "Master Guyu, take Yun Zheng with you. She is my wife. Husband and wife are one, sharing honor and disgrace."
If I die, I want to drag Yun Zheng with me.
Husband and wife as one? This made Yun Zheng very sick.
Guyu glanced at her and gestured for her to come in. "Miss Yun, please."
He seemed serious and merciless, but he inadvertently gave Yun Zheng a soothing look.
They have followed their master for many years, and the master has never been polite to any woman except Yun Zheng.
Yes, very different.
This is the only woman who can eat at the same table with the master. She is so special.
How dare they be rude to her?
By the way, Li Qiu also followed his master to the Yun family's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. After returning, he praised it highly and couldn't forget it. It made everyone itchy and wanted to eat it too!
If I please the eldest daughter of the Yun family, will I have a chance to eat it?
Yun Zheng understood and decided to go. She had never been to Mingjingsi before, so she decided to go and see the world.
Chunhua and Chuntao were extremely anxious and protected her. "Don't arrest my young lady. She didn't do anything. She is innocent."
Yun Zheng gently soothed him, "Don't panic. The innocent will be cleared. I believe that the Ninth Prince is very perceptive and will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will he let a bad person go."
"Two maids, please guard the yard well and don't let anyone in or out. Wait for me to come back."
"Yes." The two maids looked at each other and immediately delivered the message to the palace.
Yun Zheng walked out first, her back looking extremely decisive, and Chunhua and others followed.
Jiang Wenzhou's mind raced as he looked at Madam Hou, "Mother, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Even though the Marquis' wife had a thousand complaints, she was still concerned about her son. "Be smart and don't be stupid."
"I know my limits."
Ye Yizhen looked pitiful, her face pale and frightening. "Husband, I'm scared."
Jiang Wenzhou picked up Ye Yizhen and walked out. "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will be with you."
Before Ye Yizhen left, she glanced calmly at the corner where she saw an inconspicuous black shadow.
The black shadow nodded slightly, and quietly slipped out during the chaos to report the news!
The Marquis's wife gritted her teeth and ordered, "Go to the West Mountain Camp and inform the Marquis that the Crown Prince has been taken to the Mingjing Division. Ask him to return quickly to take charge of the situation."
As a nobleman, Marquis Pingxi held a position in the army.
He has not been in the mansion these days. He has gone to the Xishan camp to train troops and eats and lives in the camp.
"yes."
In the palace, the Yangxin Hall was unusually quiet, with only the sound of the emperor reviewing memorials.
Li Wuyang strode in and bowed slightly. "Greetings, my royal brother."
Sitting at his desk, the emperor threw the memorial aside, picked up his teacup and took a sip. "No harm done. The memorials impeaching you have piled up like a mountain. Take a look for yourself."
"Oh." Li Wuyang randomly chose a seat and sat down, feeling familiar and comfortable.
He casually flipped through the memorial, paying no attention at all.
Impeaching him is a common occurrence, we are used to it.
Hey, are these accusations that he deliberately picked on weak women and made things difficult for the families of nobles?
He curled the corners of his mouth, which was interesting. The weak woman refers to Ye Yichen?
The emperor rubbed his brows and sighed helplessly, "Why did you make such a fuss this time?"
Li Wuyang picked up several memorials and presented them to the emperor. "The Pingxi Marquisate may seem to be in decline, but its ability to connect with the upper and lower levels is beyond my expectations. Five of the ten great dukes and marquises are speaking for him. His power is truly astonishing."
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "You still have to be careful not to arouse public anger. If that happens, I won't be able to protect you even if I want to."
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Li Wuyang's lowered eyes, then disappeared in a flash.
The atmosphere seemed peaceful, but in fact, there were undercurrents. The eunuch in the corner held his breath and dared not breathe heavily.
The emperor suddenly looked around and shouted softly, "Damn you slaves! Why don't you serve the Nine-thousand-year-old some snacks? The Nine-thousand-year-old loves jujube paste cakes and mung bean cakes. Bring them up quickly."
"Also, bring me a pot of the first batch of Biluochun, which I treasure."
His busy schedule made the servants envious. The emperor was so good to the Ninth Prince and always cared about him. Those princes did not receive such treatment.
The palace maid brought steaming hot tea and snacks, which the chief eunuch took personally and presented to Li Wuyang with both hands.
"Nine Thousand Years Old, the Emperor knows that you love these snacks, so he has them prepared daily in the Imperial Kitchen, just waiting for you to come to the palace and eat them."
Li Wuyang took the teacup and gestured slightly with the lid, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cold and resolute, with sharp edges and corners, he exudes an unquestionable dominance.
The emperor looked at the elegant young man in front of him, and his mind was in a trance. It was as if he saw his younger self.
"No harm, I brought you up single-handedly, and I know you well."
The Emperor looked at him deeply and suddenly said, "You are not young anymore. It's time for you to get married. The Empress has collected many talented and beautiful ladies. You can choose one."
"The Queen will hold a flower viewing event in a few days. You must attend. If you don't choose a princess by then, I will arrange a marriage for you!"
Princess? Li Wuyang frowned slightly, and a light and agile figure suddenly flashed through his mind.
Why is it her? No, it can't be! I must be overthinking it!
