Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 547.1: All Sides Ready

The reality of the matter, Gong Jiu also explained to Le Cheng Emperor as such, so as to avoid him needing to come shoulder the responsibility of Noble Consort Su’s death.

“You have that ability, yet never mind deliberately making excuses, to even shift the responsibility at this time, sure enough you really………”

“Third prince!” Gong Jiu unhesitantly interrupted him, “This commoner is just a mortal, not a god. This commoner merely just know a little more than the imperial physicians. If third prince still insist on believing that it’s this commoner not being diligent and responsible, then this commoner will just be in charge of curing her Highness’s poison. The rest, whoever third prince believes is capable, then just look for whoever.”

“Bastard thing, you really……I’m going to kill you, someone come.”

“As a mere commoner, thanks to Jin Qinwang’s high regard, one was thus able to become Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor, but in the end, also just a lowly life. If third prince wants, then just take it.” Gong Jiu didn’t fear in the slightest.

Le Cheng Emperor just felt his temple pulsing in pain, “Someone come, have Rui Qinwang taken down for this emperor. Without permission, not allowed to come in.” Just, this address, don’t know whether it was just out of habit, or having some special implication.

Li Hong Ming stiffly looked to Le Cheng Emperor.

“Considering that you are worried for your mother, this emperor won’t look into your faults, but old three, after everything, don’t even now, still blurt out whatever comes to mind.”

Li Hong Ming’s lips squirmed, having a dejected look. Wiping his face, “Imperial father, this son was momentarily worried, thus lost one’s propriety. ———–Just now, I was rude and impetuous, asking Doctor Gong to not take me seriously. I’ll be leaving consort mother to you.”

Li Hong Ming glanced at the already unconscious Noble Consort Su. Perhaps because standing here right now, he also wasn’t of any use, and might even cause trouble, after all, some thoughts, he simply wasn’t able to control, temporarily avoiding perhaps was the better option.

For people that were highly accomplished in certain areas, all will have this and that kind of strange little habits. Even Le Cheng Emperor’s tolerance towards these people was also relatively high.

In comparison, Gong Jiu was just a bit stiff and unyielding, so Le Cheng Emperor naturally couldn’t bear giving up on this kind of talent.

Perhaps for the sake of showing his trust towards Gong Jiu, Le Cheng Emperor directly had Noble Consort Su given to him, clearly stating that as long as Gong Jiu does his best, it is enough. It was just short of directly saying, even if Noble Consort Su dies, he also won’t do anything to him. Afterwards, he just went to take care of the follow-up matters.

In the end, Le Cheng Emperor was still selfish. Although Noble Consort Su saved his life, compared to his own, it was still far from enough.

After Noble Consort Su got restricted to her palace, the people that originally served in her palace, more than half got beaten to death with the rod. Without her high and majestic status, the Internal Affairs Department naturally won’t have the vacancies all filled. Now that Le Cheng Emperor left with his people, Yucui Palace returned to being desolate and bleak. And the people serving Noble Consort Su right now all were just some little palace maids and little eunuchs, not agile enough, and not capable enough.

Gong Jiu silently watched, and seeing that she was about to get up again, yet there still wasn’t anyone voluntarily stepping up to curry favor……

This way was also quite good.

TN: All

In the treatment afterwards, Gong Jiu appeared very nonchalant. To a very large degree, it completely just depended on Noble Consort Su’s own luck. Even if able to survive, it also didn’t matter. Noble Consort Su’s body previously was already quite damaged, rapidly declining, and this time, having lost too much blood, the impact will be even more serious. Even if she manages to survive, afraid she will be accompanying the Empress. And if she directly dies, perhaps that would be too cheap for her.

However, Gong Jiu also won’t because of this just give his all.

After leaving Yucui Palace, Le Cheng Emperor’s worry towards Noble Consort Su weakened a little, further focusing on tonight’s incident as a whole.

With that many assassins sneaking into the palace, nearly killing him, how could he not be burning in anger.

Taking along a large group of people, he angrily rushed towards the imperial gardens. The scene had already been cleaned up, but after learning how many of his sons and grandsons died, his two eyes darkened, nearly vomiting blood. But, compared to heartache, Le Cheng Emperor was further furious, “Where’s Yu Zhong Qing, where the hell did he go?”

“Imperial father, Commander Yu got heavily injured when fighting the assassins, similarly suffering from the poison. Right now, he’s about to not make it.”

Le Cheng Emperor was alarmed, momentarily not knowing how to react, seemingly as if clearly forgetting everything Yu Zhong Qing had once done, feeling he was too useless, wanting to have all his anger vented on him, but now, learning that the other party was on the verge of death, he was just like a deflated balloon, recalling the other party’s loyal and devoted past.

“Immediately have the person sent to Yucui Palace, let Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor have a look.” Shortly after, Le Cheng Emperor seemingly thought of something, “What about you all? Did you get hurt or poisoned? Go to Yucui Palace altogether, see if it’s the same poison. If it is, then just cure it altogether.” If there’s a way to cure the poison, yet die because of not making it in time, then that would really be………

And when Le Cheng Emperor learned that those grown sons of his, aside from old seven’s arm getting cut, all were without the slightest injury, his mood just became a bit peculiar. The things Shu Consort Qin saw, he naturally also saw some of. As a father, as a husband, in a desperate moment, to not protect one’s wife and children, instead having them pushed out, how many of those children died because of this behavior of theirs?

For humans, picking the advantage and avoiding the harm, this seemingly was an innate tendency, but to really do this, it was also very selfish and cold-hearted. If switched with him, their father, then would they also be able to this too?

Thinking of this possibility, Le Cheng Emperor’s complexion just thoroughly darkened, and without a second word, ruthlessly had them chewed out, practically just disloyal, unfilial, heartless scums. To not have responsibility at crucial times, what use is there for them?

Each and every one were all dumbstruck from the scolding, but no one dared to talk back, even if feeling that one completely didn’t do anything wrong.

The situation on this side very quickly just passed on to Ganlu Palace. Right now, the people of Ganlu Palace need to grasp everything that can be grasped.

Jing Wan felt it was quite funny. Le Cheng Emperor and those sons of his inherently were just ‘jackals of the same tribe’. He was the esteemed emperor, so naturally had plenty of people that had his life placed first, and because he had someone blocking the blade for him, that’s why, he was able to stand speaking without hurting his back. If there wasn’t Noble Consort Su blocking the fatal blow for him in time, and if by his side, there just so happened to only be frightened palace servants left, then can he a hundred percent guarantee that he won’t push someone else out to block?

In reality, he a hundred percent would, and afterwards, he perhaps would even confidently and boldly say that his life was very precious, and that those were all lowly servants, so dying for him, that was only natural. On the contrary, because they didn’t voluntarily stand out to protect him, they thus deserved to die.

To put it bluntly, those titled princes, what they did wrong wasn’t the act of pushing someone out to block the danger that was originally directed at them, but rather that they pushed the wrong person. This was the greatest difference brought about by status and position.

This kind of thing, if it happened in her past life, then even if you’d pushed a beggar, you would still get pointed at by thousands, getting condemned by the mouth and by the pen. The higher the status and position of the pusher, the more they would be criticized. But here, if you were to push out a hundred or even a thousand servants, and only you were perfectly fine in the end, then the people of the world would also just feel it was normal.

Only one’s own life was considered a life. The lives of lowly people, that was just a blade of grass, a piece of stone.

“Ah Yuan, when will we leave the palace?” Regardless of when, staying in the imperial palace, sure enough, was very uncomfortable.

“Afraid for the time being, unable to leave. What’s wrong, do you feel unwell somewhere?”

“Not really, just a bit sleepy.” Jing Wan shook her head.

“Then just sleep for a while in the side hall. This matter tonight, indeed won’t be over with that easily, perhaps won’t be able to sleep all night.” Shu Consort Qin said.

Jing Wan nodded, “Many thanks your Highness.” Accepting Shu Consort Qin’s good intentions.

Li Hong Yuan went together with her, the two of them embracing one another, directly sleeping in their clothes. Jing Wan slept in Li Hong Yuan’s arms, her breathing very quickly just becoming light and drawn out. Li Hong Yuan originally was still a bit worried that she would be frightened, but now, he was a bit relieved.

Pulling the thin blanket, Li Hong Yuan also closed his eyes to rest, contemplating tonight’s matter in his mind, using the information he currently grasped, spinning the silk from the cocoons little by little. All things have a purpose. The greater the matter, the stronger the sense of purpose. According to Shu Consort Qin’s explanation, it seemingly was just for assassinating Le Cheng Emperor and the imperial sons and grandsons.

The final outcome appeared very tragic, but Le Cheng Emperor was fine, and the grown princes were also fine. Killing that many people, it seemingly was just purely killing on sight. The ones that ran fast were fine, and the slow ones were just out of luck.

It shouldn’t be like this.

Then, starting from another standpoint, who suffered losses in this assassination attempt, and who profited?

Things were very clear, only Noble Consort Su profited. Although she had herself all thrown in, unlike putting on an act, but in this world, there didn’t lack those that would gamble with their life. To want to accomplish big things, one must be ruthless towards others, and when necessary, even more ruthless towards oneself.

Then, the question just returned to the starting point again. Based on Li Hong Yuan’s understanding, Su-shi and Li Hong Ming’s power right now wasn’t able to accomplish this meticulous assassination tonight. It’s not that they had no way of having the people snuck into the palace, but rather lacked this kind of trained assassins. Even if they have the Head Minister of Rites, that Sir Su, who Li Hong Yuan didn’t have the slightest impression of in his past life, assisting in the dark, it still wasn’t too possible to reach this step.

It was obvious, there were still things he didn’t know.

Towards this, Li Hong Yuan wasn’t vexed either. Although he had the ability of ‘foresight’, occupying the advantage, but the things he knew were limited after all. Moreover, because it was too long ago, for him to overlook or forget, it also couldn’t be more normal.

As he pondered, Li Hong Yuan entered a half hazy state, all the way until someone knocked on the door outside.

Li Hong Yuan opened his eyes, “Wan Wan, wake up.” Right now, he wasn’t comfortable with having Jing Wan left alone here.

Jing Wan was still drowsy, “What’s wrong?”

“There’s probably something outside, get up first, once over with, we can return to the manor to sleep.”

“Oh.” Jing Wan clearly was still half-asleep, somewhat absentminded.

Li Hong Yuan let someone go draw warm water, slightly washing the face to wake up.
