Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 68: Golden Dragon

After the Ninth Prince disappeared, Xing Yucheng, who was filled with despair, belatedly realized that this was the Ninth Prince’s first time out of the palace. It was no problem for him to lead the way before, but now he is alone, can he find the way back to the Taifu Mansion smoothly?

But it was useless for Xing Yucheng to worry about this matter. The Ninth Prince had already disappeared, and it was too late to catch up with him. He and Xiao Luzi could only hide aside, secretly worried, and quietly observe the movements in the house as instructed.

But in fact, although it was Ye Shuo’s first time out of the palace, he had already memorized the complicated route he passed on the way, so it should not be a problem for him to find the Taifu Mansion.

Seeing that the young master of Cao family had unsteady steps, Ye Shuo estimated that he was a good-looking but useless guy. Afraid that the tutor was slow and would come too late to catch the most exciting scenes, Ye Shuo even used his internal strength in the end.

The people along the street only saw a ragged child suddenly emerge from the alley, run wildly all the way, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Emperor Jingwen and his entourage sat in the most famous restaurant in Shangjing City for a while, and then wandered around. Seeing that the time was almost up, Emperor Jingwen and his two companions, along with a group of eunuchs and servants, staggered towards the Taifu Mansion.

Given the Grand Tutor’s temper and being under his supervision, Xiaojiu would definitely not have the opportunity to go out.

If you tell him about the lively scene outside, he will definitely be extremely envious.

Emperor Jingwen could not help thinking so. When he thought of his youngest son crying and making a fuss later, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and Prince Jin on the side was surprised again and again.

Even Prince Jin discovered that his brother seemed to be particularly concerned about his son.

However, the reality seemed to be different from what the three of them thought. What Emperor Jingwen thought in his heart was that his son must be studying and practicing calligraphy with a sad face under the strict supervision of the Taifu.

But when I walked in, I heard the loud quarrel between the tutor and his wife.

Not to mention Emperor Jingwen, even the Crown Prince who had been prepared did not expect that his teacher’s house would be even more lively than the outside world.

The King of Jin was even more surprised, because the Grand Tutor had only one wife in his life, and had no concubines or maids. The deep love between the couple was known to almost the entire court.

But when he saw it today, it seemed that it was not the case at all.

The butler at the side couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed when he saw this. He was anxious, but had no way to remind him.

He was shocked when the butler opened the door just now.

After all, the Grand Tutor is the prince’s teacher, and the butler has naturally seen the prince in person. As for Emperor Jingwen, although the butler has never seen his holy face with his own eyes, judging from the prince’s attitude and the demeanor of the middle-aged man in front of him, who could not guess?

The butler was about to kneel down when Emperor Jingwen called out to him. After all, Emperor Jingwen came here as a surprise attack today and wanted to see what his son was doing. Naturally, he did not want to alert the people in the Taifu Mansion in advance.

As a result…Emperor Jingwen felt a little regretful. He should have asked them to pass the message earlier.

When Emperor Jingwen and his entourage of three arrived, the quarrel between the Grand Tutor and Madam Zhen was almost over. When a couple quarrels, they usually lose their rationality at the end and both sides start to speak without thinking.

The master must have been furious. He stared at his wife, trembling all over. “Asshole, such an asshole! Look at you. You still look like a lady from a noble family!”

Madam Zhen sneered: “I don’t act like a lady from a wealthy family, but do you act like Yin’er’s grandfather?”

“You only know how to fulfill your promises, but you don’t care about Yin’er’s life or death. Do you think you can do justice to Xuan’er who passed away so early?”

When she thought about her eldest daughter who also failed in marriage and died at a young age, and then about her granddaughter facing the same problem, Mrs. Zhen couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Zhen Zhiyuan, unless you divorce me now, I will never agree to this marriage!”

The Taifu was also annoyed when he heard this. It was precisely because his eldest daughter had chosen her own husband, but ended up meeting a bad man, that he wanted to find one for his granddaughter early on.

Is there anything wrong with him doing this? No!

How could a dignified Grand Tutor be threatened like this by his wife?

The Grand Tutor was quite old, and on impulse he followed Madam Zhen’s words and said, “Divorce! Divorce now!”

Madam Zhen was not afraid at all: “Divorce if you want!”

Although Mrs. Zhen’s dowry was not much, it was enough for her to use. After the divorce, she would take her granddaughter and move out independently. She would go to the government to register as a female household, do needlework every day, write letters to people, copy articles, etc., and maintaining her daily life without any big problem.

Thinking of this, Madam Zhen suddenly made up her mind, and then asked her personal maid to find paper and pen.

“…………”

Emperor Jingwen and his two companions, who had already walked out of the main room, felt a little awkward, not knowing whether to go in or retreat.

Especially the crown prince, he could never have imagined that when he came back, he would happen to run into the divorce scene of his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

The prince complained bitterly for a while.

As the son-in-law of the Grand Tutor, the Crown Prince could not watch the two of them get divorced, otherwise he would not be able to tell the Crown Princess about it when he returned.

The prince had no choice but to step forward.

Strictly speaking, the Grand Tutor and Madam Zhen were also relatives of Emperor Jingwen, so Emperor Jingwen had no choice but to take care of the matter. Among the three, only Prince Jin could stay out of it.

The King of Jin watched with great interest.

I finally pulled my brother out of the palace, only to see a scene like this. I made a profit.

“The Emperor has arrived——”

At this time, nothing could put out the fire better than the emperor’s personal presence.

Sure enough, upon hearing this noise, they subconsciously turned their heads, and Taifu and Madam Zhen knelt down and saluted: “Your Majesty, long live the emperor.”

“Hey, get up.” As if he didn’t see the paper and pen beside him, nor heard the quarrel between the two, Emperor Jingwen sat down in the front of the hall, picked up the teacup, and quickly changed the subject.

“Where’s Shuo’er? Where’s Shuo’er?”

Although the divorce between the Grand Tutor and his wife was their family affair, according to Emperor Jingwen’s understanding of his son, given his son’s personality, it was impossible for him not to get involved. Now that he was not around, Emperor Jingwen felt a little strange.

The moment the words fell, he saw that Taifu’s expression was a little strange. Not only did his eyes look resentful, but his hair almost stood up.

When the prince saw this, an idea suddenly came to his mind –

Could it be that the teacher and his wife were getting divorced just because of this little brother of mine…

No, no way! ?

Didn’t Xiaojiu just come here one night? ? ?

Emperor Jingwen was totally unaware and kept asking, “How is Shuo’er? Why doesn’t the Grand Tutor say anything?”

The Grand Tutor really couldn’t hold it in any longer, and was ready to file a complaint to the Emperor, just like Lord Cen had done before, but at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

What a coincidence, Ye Shuo came back at this time.

The servant at the door thought he was a beggar and tried to stop him, but Ye Shuo dodged deftly and rushed directly into the main room.

The Crown Prince and Prince of Jin almost subconsciously called on the guards beside them to protect the emperor. However, the next moment, Ye Shuo looked up, and coincidentally, his eyes met those of Emperor Jingwen.

Emperor Jingwen always felt that the little beggar in front of him looked familiar, especially his eyebrows and eyes, which were exactly the same as his own son.

“Huh? Dad, why are you here?” Because this was outside the palace, Ye Shuo shouted.

Hearing the voice that couldn’t be more familiar, and seeing the other party’s current attire, with black hands, black feet and a black face, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but spit out the tea in his mouth immediately.

Then there was a violent coughing fit, and Emperor Jingwen was shaking all over, not much better than the Taifu just now.

So this is my nephew, he is indeed extraordinary…

Even the usually unreliable Prince Jin couldn’t help but smack his lips.

The guard was stunned for a moment, then pulled his hand back which was less than two feet away from Ye Shuo’s shoulder.

“…You bastard! What have you done again!” Seeing his son who looked like a beggar, the usually clean Emperor Jingwen almost went crazy.

However, Ye Shuo really didn’t have time to pay attention to him at this time. Ye Shuo turned around and was about to speak, but then he thought about the temperament of the tutor. If he told him directly to catch an adulterer, how could he be willing?

The Grand Tutor is so proud that he can’t afford to lose face.

In a flash, Ye Shuo came up with a quick idea and said, “Dad, Third Brother and Teacher, when I was outside just now, I saw a golden dragon falling from the sky into Shangjing City!”

Ah.

Golden dragon.

It would be strange if Emperor Jingwen believed him. He had been out there for so long, why hadn’t he heard about the Golden Dragon?

However, Emperor Jingwen’s disbelief does not mean that others do not believe it.

King Jin’s eyes lit up: “Really?!”

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

My younger brother is truly hopeless.

The dragon generally symbolizes the emperor and is a sign of good fortune. It may also be a warning from heaven. Once an unusual phenomenon appears in the sky, it is necessary to check it carefully, let alone a dragon.

The Prince Jin simply did not understand Ye Shuo, and had no idea that he dared to deceive even Emperor Jingwen. The Crown Prince did not know the inside story, nor did he know his brother’s motive for lying, so he did not doubt his purpose.

As for the Grand Tutor, he did notice something was wrong, but he had no choice because Prince Jin was very interested and the Crown Prince also wanted to go with him. He was afraid that something might go wrong, so the Grand Tutor had to go with him. In case the Ninth Prince did something, or something happened next, he could still describe it on the side.

Anyway, no matter what the purpose was, the three of us were together.

Seeing that the most prestigious and distinguished one had no intention of leaving, Ye Shuo did not give up and asked again: “Dad, don’t you really want to go and take a look?”

Emperor Jingwen became more alert when he saw this.

Based on his experience, it was definitely not a good thing.

However, Emperor Jingwen did not expose it. Since Prince of Jin had always wanted to see it, he let him see it.

“No need. I’ve just walked a lot and am a little tired. I’ll just wait here for you to come back and report the news.” Not knowing what was going on, Emperor Jingwen decided to take a step back and take a sip of tea. He looked at his son with a smile on his face.

Tsk.

Seeing that his cheap father was not fooled, Ye Shuo did not force it. After all, it was enough for the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor to be there.

Just like that, under Ye Shuo’s repeated urging, the group of three hurried to the place where the so-called golden dragon fell to the ground.

At first, Prince Jin did not think there was anything wrong and was even looking forward to and imagining what the legendary dragon looked like. After about half an incense stick of time, he arrived in front of a private house. After he approached, when he was about at the door, he heard the faint sounds of “hmm mm and ahhh” between a man and a woman from inside. Prince Jin was stunned.

This, this sound… doesn’t sound right…

Looking at the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor again, their expressions changed from curiosity and inquiry at the beginning, to shock and panic, and now, they were completely torn.

The crown prince, in particular, turned around and looked at his younger brother in disbelief.
