Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 527: Reduced to a Commoner

The others also exploded along with. After briefly digesting, they noisily began discussing.

Jing Wan leaned in closer to Li Hong Yuan, “Princess Heyang has a son?” She was obviously shocked.

“She doesn’t lack men, so having a son isn’t anything strange.” Li Hong Yuan casted Jing Wan a glance, feeling Jing Wan was being surprised over nothing.

“No, but……” That was ultimately a princess of the imperial family. Never mind raising male lovers, to also have an illegitimate child, wouldn’t that…..

“Wan Wan isn’t an ordinary person to begin with, yet how come unable to accept this? Princess Heyang also isn’t an ordinary person, so naturally can’t view her with common reasoning. For her to have the imperial family’s dignity taken seriously, then she wouldn’t be today’s Princess Heyang, and would be the same as the other princesses, ordinary and discontent, dying in an unknown corner somewhere.”

It was obvious, the two ‘unordinary’ people Li Hong Yuan spoke of weren’t really the same in meaning.

Jing Wan blanked and shortly after just smiled, “It seems I was narrow-minded, just thinking that the women of the world are all more or less the same, thus becoming too shocked, yet forgot that regardless of where, there will always be those that are very much unique and unconventional.”

If it was the Li Hong Yuan of the past life, prior to the big changes in his life, towards this kind of thing, he certainly won’t be able to accept. But now, his acceptance level was quite good, or rather, should say that because it had nothing to do with him, that’s why he inherently didn’t care.

“How many children does Princess Heyang have?” Once Jing Wan entirely accepted, she just began wanting to gossip.

“A single son, having just turned twenty. Princess Heyang had him and his birth father appropriately taken care of. And just that coincidentally, his wife and third sister-in-law got pregnant around the same time.” Li Hong Yuan calmly said.

That’s why, they just got ruthlessly used by you.

Because everyone were all speaking, their attention also all on Rui Qinwang and Princess Heyang, Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan’s conversation was rather ‘out in the open’.

Rui Qinwang just felt everything was over, thoroughly over.

At the time, when receiving the child, seeing the birthmark on the back, he also felt it was a bit inappropriate. Just, considering that the child’s family have all been killed off, he thus just dropped the matter. After all, having a birthmark wasn’t really anything, but if it were to get burnt off or scraped off for no reason, getting noticed by others, then that would only be making it more conspicuous by trying to hide it, even though under normal circumstances, aside from the closest people, as well as the ones carefully looking after him, no one can easily see a qinwang heir’s body.

But now, he actually really fell on his head because of this birthmark.

Exactly where did it go wrong? How come this child was Princess Heyang’s grandson?

Sure enough, he got schemed against from beginning to end?!

TN: All

“Imperial great aunt.”

“Shut up, right now, this princess doesn’t want to hear a word from you. You also don’t need to make excuses, that daughter of yours is in this princess’s hand.” Princess Heyang carefully shielded the child, yet there wasn’t the slightest warmth in her eyes. Looking at Rui Qinwang, her eyes were ice cold, carrying sharpness. Her face was just short of saying, ‘if you dare say another word, it won’t just end with another slap’.

Just, before Rui Qinwang could react, Rui Wangfei’s complexion just greatly changed, “Nannan^[1] is in princess’s hand? Princess, princess, can you have her returned to me?” Rui Wangfei was originally indifferent to the matter before her eyes, but this while, she was unable to maintain herself no matter what. To say she was going to breakdown in an instant wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Rui Wangfei went forward, pulling on Princess Heyang’s clothes with a sorrowful look, directly kneeling before Princess Heyang, “Princess, begging you, please have nannan returned to me. After she was born, before I could even see a glimpse of her, she just got taken away. Princess, I’m begging you, please…………..”

Towards Rui Qinwang’s great cause, Rui Wangfei didn’t have the slightest thought at all. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, she didn’t count on being able to receive the slightest benefit.

Perhaps she once had the ambition of becoming the mother of the country, but some things have long gotten cleanly grinded down into nothing over time. Towards Li Hong Ming, this person, she truly understood too well.

And once Rui Wangfei’s words came out, great, there was no need to say anything. Since one of the party involved already admitted, then there was nothing left to say. All arguments were useless. Even if Le Cheng Emperor wanted to help him cover up, or rather, cover up the embarrassment for the imperial family, it was all impossible. In this very moment, the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

Just, everyone’s thoughts varied. Those that had sided with Rui Qinwang, don’t know how bitter and pained they were. And for those that were on the opposite side of Rui Qinwang, they were naturally feeling refreshed inside. That share of delight and pleasure at another’s misfortune, even if trying their best, they were all somewhat unable to cover up and could only borrow other things to help conceal. However, right now, no one would pay attention to them. Of course, there were also some that were completely expressionless, not having the slightest ripple inside, because these things all had nothing to do with them.

Just, when looking to Rui Qinwang again, although knowing that this time, he most likely won’t be able to escape, but getting completely exposed by Rui Wangfei, there wasn’t the slightest leeway to turn the matter around, so Rui Qinwang naturally hated that he can’t eat her alive.

However, Rui Wangfei completely pretended to not see, just desperately pleading Princess Heyang.

Speaking of which, Rui Wangfei, just because of learning her daughter’s whereabouts, just lost her rationality, disregarding everything and having everything all revealed? It certainly was unlikely. After all, Rui Wangfei didn’t go crazy, so wouldn’t go so far as to not know this bit of severity. That’s why, because of hearing the child’s whereabouts and losing her bearing was one thing, but there was also the factor of her deliberately doing this.

How was it not staking everything on one throw? She and Li Hong Ming have already thoroughly shed all pretense of cordiality. In a certain sense, Li Hong Ming ascending the throne didn’t benefit her in the slightest. Moreover, because she knew too many things, perhaps sometime in the future, she will just get silenced. Besides, as time passed, Rui Wangfei increasingly felt that Li Hong Ming’s hopes of ascending the throne were remote. Rather than this, it was better to take the opportunity to have herself cut clean. Moreover, only if Li Hong Ming falls will she be able to preserve her children. Don’t say that she didn’t care for her husband, it was this man that didn’t care for his own flesh and blood first!

Princess Heyang waved her hand and brushed away Rui Wangfei, simply just refusing to acknowledge her. That little junzhu of Rui Qinwang Manor, don’t know whether she was really in Princess Heyang’s hands, or it was just a lie she made up. If it’s the former, how she will deal with that child, she also didn’t say a word of.

Princess Heyang looked towards Le Cheng Emperor, clearly not planning on continuing to stay here, letting unrelated people watch her for amusement, “This matter, presumably your Majesty already have an understanding inside, and will certainly give me a satisfying explanation, so I won’t say anymore, farewell.”

It was obvious, Princess Heyang was very angered by this matter. When facing Le Cheng Emperor, she was entirely treating him half-heartedly. Perhaps, there was even a trace of a threat. When coming, she was aggressive and bold, and when leaving, it was also that firm and decisive.

Le Cheng Emperor’s face right now already can’t be described with ‘darker than the bottom of a pot’. As the esteemed emperor, to lose his face as such, yet even unable to vent, and the perpetrator of it all was once the son he had hopes for, but repeatedly did stupid things, letting him become disappointed…………..And this time, he was even more daring, attempting to muddy the imperial bloodline, further angering Princess Heyang.

In reality, for Le Cheng Emperor to be this accommodating towards Princess Heyang, it wasn’t just because of Princess Heyang’s contributions towards Qi Yuan, but also because in this imperial aunt’s hands, there was an imperial decree, an imperial decree that was additionally sealed by the previous emperor. The reason why it was additionally sealed was because that imperial decree was left behind by Le Cheng Emperor’s grandfather^[2].

Although it wasn’t something like a death talisman, but it was more than enough for this Princess Heyang to live unrestrainedly.

“Rui Qinwang will be reduced to a commoner, confined in the manor, without pardon, not allowed to take a single step out.” Le Cheng Emperor didn’t even bother wasting his breath, directly giving Li Hong Ming the ‘death sentence’. Afterwards, he just directly got up and left.

“Imperial father——-” Li Hong Ming probably never thought that this time, Le Cheng Emperor would actually be this ruthless. He wanted to charge up, wanting to let Le Cheng Emperor take back his decree, but unfortunately, in just a few steps, he just got suppressed by Yu Zhong Qing.
