MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 429 demoted
Chapter 429 429. Demotion
“Did you say something to frame me in front of His Majesty?”
“How bold, a little nobleman dares to talk to the Queen like this!”
The aunt around the queen has always been unhappy with Concubine Wei. Now that she has this opportunity, she still doesn't establish her authority properly. That would be weird.
The word "noble" made Concubine Wei feel distressed.
Obviously there is only one word difference, but there is a world of difference in terms of status.
The honor of a noble concubine is second only to that of the queen. When she was the most favored, no one took her seriously.
How could a noble person, but an inconspicuous person in the harem, be worthy of her status as a daughter of the Wei family?
Very dissatisfied with what happened today, he retorted to the nun who spoke.
"I am the emperor's concubine, the biological mother of the ninth prince, and the daughter of Duke Wei. Who do you think you are? How dare you act wild here!"
After all, she has been a noble concubine for many years. Even if she is reduced to a noble lady now, her domineering spirit is still there.
So the grandma was shocked for a while.
People around her don’t dare to be too presumptuous towards her. Who knows whether she will make a comeback in the future.
So I made up my mind not to come here to show off my power.
The queen smiled lightly, as if the person being criticized was not her nanny, and still spoke in a pleasant manner.
"What my sister said is true. No one knows who will win until the end. I am waiting for the day when my sister makes a comeback, and will still come to Changle Palace to pay my respects to me."
How about the imperial concubine? What about the noble people? Aren’t they all the people under her control?
There is only one master in the harem, and that is her, the empress of the world.
Want to understand this, the queen has no intention of getting too entangled with her here.
What I want most is to know why His Majesty did what he did today, so that they can have a countermeasure.
As the gate of Hanzhang Palace was sealed, Concubine Wei, who was originally domineering, now collapsed on the ground.
The bluestone floor is no longer as warm as before, and a heart-breaking chill rises from behind.
What she fears most now is that she will be implicated in the Ninth Prince. After all, her only hope is Xiao Yunli.
It would be troublesome if something happened to him too.
So, I hope my father can know it earlier so that he can have countermeasures quickly.
The news that Concubine Wei was demoted to a noble lady soon reached the Wei family.
Wei Dalang was worried, "Is it because the Water Transportation Department failed to handle the matter? Did it involve the imperial concubine?"
But it shouldn’t be. They started to wind up the line long in advance. How could they still be caught?
On the contrary, Duke Wei was very calm and could not hide his eyes.
“Either Liang Quanbin was not dead and exposed us, or the evidence in his hand was discovered by Bai Chaoan and the others, so His Majesty took this step.”
“Not completely dead!”
When Wei Dalang heard about this possibility, he was angry.
"What are you doing for food? How can such an important person survive! Does he have nine lives?"
I wish I could transform into an eagle and fly to Jinling City to find out.
But now is not the time to pursue this matter. How to restore Concubine Wei, or to regain the former glory of the Wei family in front of His Majesty, is the top priority.
“Tell this to the Ninth Prince. Isn’t Liang Quanbin’s daughter his concubine? Of course she should know what to do!”
“Where is Nalan’er…”
Duke Wei shook his head, "She is not the Ninth Prince. She is soft-hearted. There are still children from the Liang family. If the news is wrong and Liang Pan escapes, it will be troublesome."
"Yes, father, I will make arrangements right away." After Wei Dalang left in a hurry, Wei Guogong began to think quietly about what to do next.
The person who came to deliver the news once said that His Majesty spent some time alone with Prime Minister Bai before he was convicted.
Although Prime Minister Bai has always been neutral, it is hard to say that he will favor his son because of the Water Transport Department.
Bai Chaoan will definitely need to upgrade to another level after coming back from here. If he does his job well, he might be able to reach the first level in one leap.
In this case, the future prospects of the Bai family will be brighter.
So what words will he use to make His Majesty believe it and prepare to take action against the Wei family?
With his eyes slightly closed, his mind was thinking rapidly, and suddenly his eyes widened and he thought of something.
“Is it possible that he discovered the Qianzhou incident?”
I have to say that Duke Wei is as good as Bai Xiang in trying to figure out His Majesty's thoughts.
They all know that when core interests cannot be affected, Emperor Qi would rather check and balance than disrupt the situation.
The only possibility is that he exposed the matter.
Now some refugees have been admitted to Qianzhou, and official rations and the money that was previously stolen are also being transported to Qianzhou.
If your Majesty sends someone to make an unannounced visit, the truth may be exposed.
It will take at least half a year for the private soldiers they support to be effective. Even if there are 200,000 soldiers now, they are just ordinary people with little fighting ability. Let alone the Imperial City Army, even the Jeju Army cannot defeat them.
In this case, they may have to abandon their car to save their commander.
Thinking of this, a poisonous note soon hit my mind.
Here, Duke Wei had noticed the problem and began to think of other strategies to deal with it.
In Prince Li's palace, Liang Luo was frightened by the sudden angry appearance of the Ninth Prince and backed away repeatedly.
He has always been ruthless when he came to his own yard, but he has never been like this today, as if...
As if he wanted to kill her to satisfy his hatred.
He tremblingly shouted "Your Majesty", but before he could finish his words, the Ninth Prince grabbed his neck.
Her guess was right, the Ninth Prince just wanted to kill her.
Soon, the feeling of suffocation came over him, and Liang Luo pinched his hand desperately to no avail.
Jinxiu on the side could only kneel down and beg for mercy, her forehead was bruised.
“Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!”
″
Just when Liang Luo thought he was going to be strangled to death, the Ninth Prince suddenly let go.
She fell to the ground, not caring about the painful place where she was thrown, and breathed frantically, fighting for every chance of survival.
Jinxiu crawled over to help her, but was kicked in the center by the Ninth Prince, and died on the spot.
Liang Luo didn't even say a word to her before he was taken away by the guards who broke in from outside.
Before she left, she didn’t even understand why she was treated like this!
Suddenly I saw the unobtrusive wisteria in the corner, and looked over with pleading eyes.
I regretted why I didn't agree to it in the first place. Not only could I save myself, but I might also be able to save my father.
Now, she can't shake out the wisteria, this is her only life-saving straw.
