Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 408: The Dust Has Settled? Keep Dreaming!

The Former Wei first prince looked to Princess Yi Ning, “Tell me, right now, do you want to die or live?”

The Princess Yi Ning, whose eyes were filled with hatred, yet also appeared to be pitiful from crying, upon hearing this, blankly froze, forgetting to cry, and also forgetting to maintain the emotions in her eyes, contemplating in this moment. Her mind most likely momentarily blanked.

A moment later, a look of panic appeared on Princess Yi Ning’s face. Grabbing onto the Former Wei first prince’s sleeve, her tears fell like a shattered pearl necklace, “Imperial brother, imperial brother………………”

“Enough, what are you crying for, what use is there crying now? You are already Qi Yuan Emperor’s person. You should know, the previous plans have all become nothing. Right now, either be obedient, and I will fight for a relatively high position for you as much as possible. After all, among Qi Yuan Emperor’s four consorts, there’s still two empty positions. If you continue crying endlessly, it will only incur the Qi Yuan Emperor’s loathing. What kind of ending that will be, you should be clear. Or if you really don’t want to live anymore, then just die right now. You’re our Great Wei’s di princess after all. Dying after getting disgraced in Qi Yuan, our Great Wei more or less all can use this as an excuse to revolt against Qi Yuan. If handled properly, no matter what, all able to obtain quite a bit of benefits.”

Princess Yi Ning crumbled in despair, “How can you all treat me like this? How can you? You’re all just a bunch of inhumane bastards, bastards————-”

The Former Wei first prince was indifferent, “The imperial family has no familial love. You should’ve long been aware of this. Also, already told you, if you want to let your days in the future be a bit better, then just put away this terrible temper of yours. Qi Yuan Emperor is the esteemed ruler of country. The women that he’s slept with, regardless of whether it was willingly or forced, in his eyes, getting pampered by him, that is just an enormous honor. This sorry look of yours, is it hating that you can’t directly enter the cold palace?”

Although Princess Yi Ning was furious, she still gradually put away her emotions, no longer acting hysterical.

The Former Wei first prince coldly sneered, “Naturally it’s best if you can think things through.” This younger sister naturally didn’t want to die. If she really had that courage, then back in Great Wei, she would’ve long committed suicide. “Following the Qi Yuan Emperor isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Aside from being a bit old, in other aspects, isn’t it all better than a powerless Jin Qinwang. Yi Ning, you’re still young and beautiful, occupying an advantage that others don’t have. If you can make the Qi Yuan Emperor happy, never mind monopolizing his favor, even if it’s just attaching a bit more importance to you, you similarly can live a life of luxury. You have always ben smart. The schemes and deceptions of the inner palace, you also have deep knowledge of, so what you should do, you probably don’t need me to teach you, right?”

Princess Yi Ning was unwilling to resign inside, feeling indignant, but ever since she got ‘expelled’ from Great Wei, she was already no longer that naive, having all things go her way. Moreover, as someone born from an imperial family, perhaps it was just naturally having the ability to weigh the pros and cons, knowing how to play with political power. Based on all this, Princess Yi Ning was also very clear of her current situation. But recalling Jin Qinwang, then thinking to the Qi Yuan Emperor, such enormous disparity, no matter what, it all made her unable to balance. “Could it be that it’ll just be over like this? I was clearly schemed against!”

“Then why don’t you tell me, how did you get schemed against? As long as you can point out a single suspicious point, then I will help you investigate to the end. Yi Ning, from the moment you entered the palace, you’ve just been together with us the entire time, never once coming in contact with someone from Qi Yuan. All your food and drinks were all the exact same as ours. Even if you got drunk and left Qian Chen Hall, you also never once left your servant girls line of sight. So why don’t you tell me, where is the problem? Moreover, prior to entering the palace, I’d already told you, Qi Yuan’s imperial palace, this kind of place, you can’t randomly walk around as you please. You still think this is Great Wei’s imperial palace, where you can intrude as you please?” Towards the end, the Former Wei first prince’s face filled with a dark expression.

Princess Yi Ning blankly stuttered, unable to speak. Actually, the entire process, she for the most part all remembered, even though everywhere all penetrated with a sense of strangeness, she was still unable to say exactly where had problems.

“The following matters, I will handle. You just obediently stay there and properly behave. If you cause any more trouble for me, just wait to perish on your own.” With that said, the Former Wei first prince directly stormed off. For those that refuse to listen, it was always needing to deeply get taught a lesson before they’re finally able to learn.

In reality, who this younger sister ended up with, for him, it was all irrelevant. He just hated her for not listening and causing trouble.

The Former Wei first prince returned to the imperial gardens. Compared to the anger when he’d left, this while, he’d calmed down quite a bit, “Qi Yuan Emperor, regarding one’s younger sister……………”

“Enough.” Le Cheng Emperor waved his hand to interrupt him, “Have someone draft an imperial decree, conferring Great Wei’s Princess Yi Ning as Xian Consort, bestowing the main hall of Yihe Palace.” His head didn’t even turn, but who these words were for, everyone was all clear inside.

However, Le Cheng Emperor being this straightforward and firm still shocked quite a few people. Those that weren’t aware of the matters regarding the Imperial Noble Consort, but knew of the previous matter, were just startled at the fact that Le Cheng Emperor was a bit too good to that Princess Yi Ning, especially those imperial consorts apart from Empress Sun, Noble Consort Su, and Shu Consort Qin, nearly just shredding the handkerchief in hand. The thing they were unable to obtain no matter what got easily obtained by a princess of another country, merely because she was a princess?

It was obvious, these people were muddled by jealousy, completely forgetting what Le Cheng Emperor’s attitude was like previously.

Speaking of the Former Wei first prince, he was further like having a breath stuck in his throat, unable to spit out, unable to swallow back down, very much uncomfortable. Along the way, he’d thought of a lot, already for the most part formed a mental outline as to how to win over the greatest benefit for their side. However, Le Cheng Emperor was too blunt, completely not waiting for him to open his mouth.

So everything just settled like this? Having power but nowhere to exert, there was no sense of accomplishment.

Did the dust finally settled? Heheh, how can that be. Li Hong Yuan lifted the tea cup shallowly taking a sip. The good play has yet to come. However, Li Hong Yuan was completely indifferent, still carrying a bit of laziness and a bit of carefreeness as he watched the play. As for how much he took in, probably only he himself knew.

After all, the matter of Le Cheng Emperor sleeping with Princess Yi Ning, for the people of the other countries, aside from the party involved, Former Wei, the others still didn’t know yet.

And just as expected, the person in charge for West Xiongnu as well as the most tall and sturdy figure by his side————-the person that previously feared He Shi Hai’s abilities and didn’t take the field, both stood up, carrying a hard to describe anger and ruthlessness, “Qi Yuan Emperor, Great Wei first prince, what is the meaning of this?” It was practically said through clenched teeth.

Le Cheng Emperor frowned, with confusion written in his eyes.

The Former Wei first prince was also confused at first, but immediately thought of a possibility. In an instant, he felt as if he would explode, inwardly cursing. The original target for Yi Ning’s political marriage was precisely West Xiongnu. Looking at it now, nine times out of ten, the court must have already informed West Xiongnu beforehand, but they actually didn’t tell him? To the extent that with the current situation, he simply didn’t think of West Xiongnu. Originally, if West Xiongnu didn’t know, then naturally it was all fine, but now, the Former Wei first prince just wanted to vomit blood!

Sure enough……………….

T/N: To clarify, the Former Wei first prince does know that Princess Yi Ning was intended for West Xiongnu, but he assumed that he had to negotiate the marriage with West Xiongnu himself, so he thought that West Xiongnu didn’t know about this matter yet. More will be explained in the .
