MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 449 Patricide
Chapter 449 449. Patricide
Nowadays, there are only a few noble ladies in Dongdu City who are more noble than her, so her marriage must be a **** of Emperor Qi.
I won’t agree so easily, so don’t be in a hurry.
Feng Jinyao's marriage became a fulcrum for Emperor Qi to balance the court situation, and it would not be used easily.
As for his going to Fahua Temple to pray for the victims, it went quite smoothly under the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites.
In Prince Li's Mansion, the Ninth Prince, who had been scolded by a cane, still had a little pain when walking, but the rest of his recovery was pretty good.
But his mind became increasingly gloomy. Princess Li told him about her pregnancy since she met Duke Wei.
He didn't have any big emotions. He only asked her to take good care of the baby, and then he seemed to forget about the other concubines and concubines in the back house. He just wanted to go out all day long, and he didn't know what to do specifically.
They don’t know it, but it doesn’t mean that Wei Guogong doesn’t know it.
The Ninth Prince was looking for the whereabouts of Ling Guang, secretly and covertly, and Duke Wei was completely disappointed in him.
It’s a waste that he is still planning the overall situation, but the Ninth Prince is so unsatisfied.
So I searched for him for a while and found him, and started talking with a bad tone in my voice.
“Your Majesty, are you going to ruin all our years of planning just for an inconspicuous bodyguard?”
He did not tell Ling Guang's true identity directly because he wanted to save some face for the Ninth Prince. When the Ninth Prince heard what Duke Wei Guo said, he realized that the matter could not be hidden.
A little embarrassed and a little hesitant.
“Grandfather, he is no ordinary guard, he saved my life.”
“Hmph, aren’t the guards meant to block the sword for the prince? If you don’t have this awareness, why should you be a guard?”
The Ninth Prince could not refute. His attitude was never tough in front of Duke Wei.
What's more, now that such a scandal has fallen into his hands, he naturally has to let it go.
Although Wei Guogong had thoughts of abandoning him, in the end he still looked after his grown-up grandson. He had been hanging around him for so many years, so when he saw that his expression was not right, he did not continue to say anything.
The topic turned to the matter of Emperor Qi going to Fahua Temple to offer incense.
“The arrangements made by the Ministry of Rites are almost complete. Your Majesty will visit Fahua Temple in person in ten days. Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Chance?
The Ninth Prince quickly understood.
"His Majesty did not involve the Wei family in this incident at the Water Transport Department. It was not because he wanted to let the Wei family go because of his kindness, but because he wanted to plot more. I always feel that Prime Minister Bai is behind it, and I'm afraid he is still collecting other evidence. They’re going to catch us all in one fell swoop.”
The Duke of Wei knew very well about Emperor Qi and Bai Xiang, so he had this conjecture.
“It’s better to kill with one move than to sit back and wait for death.”
“So my grandfather’s intention is to take advantage of my father’s absence to take advantage of him…”
The Ninth Prince made a gesture of wiping his neck. Duke Wei smiled sinisterly and nodded slightly.
"When the time comes, we will push this matter onto the heads of those who are hostile to us. By then, we can eradicate the eldest prince, and the sixth prince is thousands of miles away. Isn't the prince the only candidate for unification? All he needs to do is raise his arms. Naturally, hundreds of officials will praise you."
These words moved the Ninth Prince's heart.
He had never thought of taking the initiative before.
With my father’s body and age, I always thought that it would take more than ten years before he would have the chance to inherit the throne.
Unexpectedly, with such a God-given opportunity, he could no longer hold back his mood.
Excitement showed on his face, and he wished he could go to Fahua Temple to guard it right now.
The royal family affection is really indifferent at this time, except for calculations, it is still calculations.
It is a pity that the Ninth Prince did not know that behind his happy eyes, the way Duke Wei looked at him was full of complexity and contradiction. This time he went to Fahua Temple in person. Emperor Qi only brought the queen with him, but the concubines in the harem did not follow him.
As for the eldest prince, he naturally has to guard his father and mother.
In the small courtyard where Wen Yuwei lives, she is not living a very comfortable life these days.
The nun sent by the queen is always there to take care of her. As a result, the eldest prince no longer has the pleasure he used to have here, and he naturally has less time to come and see her.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also celebrated alone, which is particularly desolate.
The mother is in a bad state, and the child will naturally suffer as well.
The fetal image, which was obviously stable, suddenly turned a little red, and the mothers who came to look after it were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
When the eldest prince hurried over, he saw Wen Yuwei lying on the bed to rest with a pale face.
There is distress and worry in the eyes, but there is no fakeness.
"What's going on? Isn't it already past the first three months? Why is it still so unstable?"
“The prince is not here, and I am afraid physically and mentally, so I hurt the child in my belly.”
“Aren’t there nuns? Didn’t they take good care of you?”
The tone of his voice suddenly rose, and several people standing in the outer courtyard looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
They were not very kind to Wen Yuwei. That kind of badness was not due to food and clothing, but to their appearance.
Since they entered this hut, they have rarely shown a smile. Even if Wen Yuwei tried to please her in every possible way, she always put her hot face on her cold butt.
So they were afraid that Wen Yuwei would complain and they would have to walk away without food.
Hands of fear hung in my heart, and my ears paid no attention to the conversations in the room.
Wen Yuwei looked like she was being bullied but didn't dare to speak out. She said good things about the mothers, but her face betrayed her.
The eldest prince is not a vegetarian either, he can see it at a glance.
When I thought that the princess was also pregnant, I couldn't help but feel that she might have been involved in this matter.
So he said calmly.
"Don't worry, the king will stay here to take care of you these days. I want to see who dares to treat you or my child lightly."
After saying this, he asked the nuns who were waiting outside to guard the outer courtyard. They were not allowed to come in without his order.
This can put the nuns in a difficult position.
On one side is the prince’s order, and on the other side is the queen’s entrustment.
The one who was brave immediately moved the queen out, and the eldest prince rewarded her with ten pieces of cake without changing his face or heart.
The old woman was beaten until her flesh and blood flew everywhere, and she almost died here.
“I think you should think clearly about who is in charge of this courtyard.”
With one word, those nuns did not dare to do it again, and the people serving Wen Yuwei returned to the original ones.
It is comfortable and pleasant to use, and your complexion is getting better day by day.
Soon, ten days passed.
These days, the eldest prince has not been back to Prince Ke's Mansion very often. Today, he always got up in the small courtyard. Wen Yuwei took care of him, washed and dressed, and then went straight to the palace to **** the emperor to Fahua Temple.
