Where My Lord Points Is Where One Will Face (2)

Rui Qinwang’s eyes split open in anger, turning blood red. He threw himself forward, seemingly as if wanting to strangle her to death. However, he nevertheless got kicked aside by He Shi Hai.

“Liu-shi, stop blathering nonsense here, quickly get lost——” Rui Qinwang sternly roared.

In reality, him being like this just proved that he indeed had colluded with Former Wei, else just look at how well he disguised himself normally. If there’s no such thing, would he lose his bearings like this?

Liu-shi, however, was unmoved, appearing very calm on the surface. From her body, she took out the evidence that she spoke of. It can be seen that she was long prepared, and also sufficiently cautious.

It was a few letters, not just ones from that Sir Su, that simple, but also letters from Former Wei’s emperor.

Li Hong Yuan casually flipped through. These letters weren’t the original copy. It goes without saying, for Liu-shi to have been able to see the letters, it was already not bad. If she’d attempted to steal the original copy, she probably would’ve long died. “Where are the original copies, are they still present?”

“Replying to wangye, should still be present. Li Hong Ming has always been paranoid and cautious. Something this important, he probably won’t easily burn. In his study, there should be a secret compartment.”

Li Hong Yuan lightly nodded. He didn’t need evidence, just needing to see certain information. That’s why, whether or not the original copy was still present all didn’t matter. “What do you want?”

“Just asking wangye to spare me and my three daughters. They are all girls, so absolutely won’t become a threat to wangye.” Ever since seeing through the fog, what she desired has always just been this.

“This prince will grant your request.” Regardless whether Rui Wangfei’s intentions were sincere or not, she ultimately wasn’t someone like Ruan Fang Fei. She was born and raised in Qi Yuan, and everything she cared about was all in Qi Yuan. That’s why, she absolutely won’t stir up any storms, and Li Hong Yuan didn’t mind letting her off either. After all, he ultimately wasn’t some psychopathic killer.

“Many thanks wangye.” Having obtained what she wanted, Rui Wangfei just completely relaxed. Even if she’s a woman that had betrayed her husband, and will get criticized by thousands, she also didn’t care in the slightest.

Everyone looked to Rui Wangfei, though their opinions indeed varied. As the saying goes, ‘the husband is the guiding light of the wife’. As the husband, one should ought to be the wife’s sky, her everything. For such a woman that has stabbed her husband in the back, she inevitably will get condemned, but as a woman, especially as a mother, it’s not like they can’t understand her actions. That’s why, in the end, they just inwardly sighed, declining to comment.

However, looking at Li Hong Ming, they just felt that he was relatively unlucky. The first time getting stabbed by the person that shares his bed, he got reduced to a commoner, and this second time will probably just directly take his life.

Li Hong Yuan still didn’t let off Le Cheng Emperor, smilingly looking at him, “This is just the crown prince that you acknowledge, colluding with the enemy and committing treason? From these letters, we can learn that he promised Former Wei four commanderies, millions of taels of silver, and also numerous rare treasures. If he really had succeeded, then Qi Yuan’s national power would’ve, in a short amount of time, reduce by at least thirty percent. And would Former Wei just give up there? Would Southern Qi not take the opportunity to plunder? Xiongnu previously had gotten beaten too miserably and is precisely looking for an opportunity to take revenge. The day when Qi Yuan will be divided up won’t be far.”

Le Cheng Emperor uncontrollably shook all over, yet he wasn’t even able to lift his hand. Finally, he could no longer endure, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood, with everything darkening before his eyes, throughly passing out.

After this collapse, afraid he won’t have the opportunity to crawl up again.

“Your Majesty………..” There were quite a few people that were worried for him. However, after going forward two steps, they just paused.

TN: All

Truthfully speaking, for an old man, once he loses that supreme power, he will just have nothing left. There won’t be people revolving around anymore. Everyone, this while, were all looking at Li Hong Yuan, acting according to his look.

Li Hong Yuan was still nonchalant, “Send imperial father back to the bed chambers, and invite an imperial physician. Additionally, Li Hong Yi and Li Hong Ming will be detained in the imperial prisons, dealing with once imperial father wakes up. All related family members will be restricted in the manor, waiting to be sentenced. The imperial concubines will return to their respective palaces. If imperial father is well, then naturally everyone will all be well, but if anything were to happen, there will always be the need for someone to be buried with him. The people that participated in the rebellion this time will be given to the Black Clad Guards to be thoroughly investigated. If found guilty, then will be severely punished.”

With that said, Li Hong Yuan just flung his sleeve and directly left.

The remaining people looked to one another in dismay. That’s it? Having already taken ninety-nine steps, just missing this last step, he just stopped here? For better or worse, finish everything in one go, finish the passing of the throne. Just need to write an imperial decree and stamp the imperial jade seal, how simple of a matter! Why can’t you have the high-pressure policy carried out till the end. At least let those with ulterior motives all surrender under your authority. To not even express anything, is it forcing those civil officials to jump out and oppose? And if they don’t jump out, that’s just not being loyal to their duty, not even having an excuse. How can this be endured!?

Quick, someone come and block the living Enma. Just based on that behavior of his, to let him continue messing around, a lot of people will die!

“Yuan’er, Yuan’er, don’t go, don’t go…………” Noble Consort Su suddenly charged out, directly falling at Li Hong Yuan’s feet, dragging the hem of his clothes. “Seeing on behalf the fact that we were once mother and son, forgive consort mother this time, alright? Consort mother loves you, really, you believe consort mother, right? Yuan’er, Yuan’er…………..”

Li Hong Yuan lowered his head, but didn’t kick her aside. However, those eyes were somewhat chilling.

Noble Consort Su swallowed her saliva. From the first time they officially had a falling out, she just knew that this foster son wasn’t simple, but she never thought that it was extraordinary to this degree. Just a single glance was enough to make one fear from the bones. “Even if……..even if consort mother is sorry to you, even if consort mother’s words weren’t genuine, consort mother still had you raised to adulthood, giving you the best of everything. You can’t just look on the bad side. Consort mother also isn’t asking for much, just leave consort mother some dignity. In any case, in any case…….consort mother won’t be able to live for much longer. Yuan’er…..”

Li Hong Yuan half crouched down, “Even if in your heart, you just want to let your own son ascend the throne, this actually can all be forgiven, and also once thought, after ascending the throne, let you enjoy the honor……..”

Noble Consort Su’s eyes flashed with a ray of hope.

Li Hong Yuan smiled. Seriously, the number of times he has smiled in front of outsiders today was really a bit much, “However, I gave you the chance, you just didn’t grab onto it. When I was ten years old, you gave me slow-acting poison, wanting to ruin my body’s foundation, once a month, continuing for three years. If you’d hesitated once, stopping it just once, then I would still leave you a bit of honor, but do you still remember how you’d behaved back then? You were still soft-spoken and gentle, affectionately showing concern over my wellbeing, very much like a real mother. Actually, I’m quite curious, exactly how did you achieve this?”

Noble Consort Su’s expression congealed on her face, as if having gotten struck by lightning, “You, you, you already, already know everything?”

“Of course I know. Ever since the first time you acted, I just knew. If I didn’t know, wouldn’t you have gotten away with it. Not only do I know this, I also know that when I was thirteen years old, you tried to give me infertility powder. Really a pity, you still didn’t succeed. Perhaps, you thought that Wan Wan getting pregnant was just a coincidence. After all, the infertility powder still has an extremely small chance of getting pregnant, just like your son, after getting affected by the infertility powder, still let his wife get pregnant with the third child. However, unfortunately, Wan Wan’s pregnancy wasn’t a coincidence. The reason why she didn’t get pregnant previously was merely because her body hadn’t fully grown out, in addition to the state of affairs being unstable, so didn’t let her get pregnant. You all using this bit to attack her whenever possible made me very unhappy.”

Li Hong Yuan’s tone right now was exceptionally gentle. However, not just Noble Consort Su, but also Jing Wan’s zhoulis[1], all kept quiet out of fear, their insides turning blue from regret, cowering, just fearing that Li Hong Yuan will just look for them to settle the score.

Li Hong Yuan got up, kicking aside Noble Consort Su, “Su-shi, don’t worry, you won’t die that easily. After all, coming to this step today, your contributions were very big.” In the past life, he indeed had thought of wanting to support Li Hong Ming onto the throne. Unfortunately, it all got ruined by this woman, making him suffer endless despair. The only good thing was that without those experiences he probably wouldn’t have met Jing Wan, and he probably wouldn’t have stood up again. But, these people still robbed him of his last spiritual support.

Upon hearing, Noble Consort Su instead wanted to seek a quick death.

“Look after her, if she dies, you all will all be buried with her.” Li Hong Yuan said to Le Cheng Emperor’s chief eunuch.

How could they dare have other thoughts at this time, naturally hurriedly agreeing, and afterwards, tightly looked after Noble Consort Su.

However, everyone’s perception of Noble Consort Su further ascended a level, truly ‘to know the person but not the heart’. Her good towards Jin Qinwang was well known inside and outside of the palace, yet she was secretly this malicious. However, it seems, Jin Qinwang was even scarier. At ten years old, what can one know? Yet, while being completely surrounded by Noble Consort Su’s people, he still avoided all the harm right under their eyelids. Was this still human? Practically just a demon!

Alright, Li Hong Yuan, to a certain degree, indeed can be considered a demon. However, they ultimately still overestimated him. He ultimately was just a mortal, not a god. In his past life, he was a true child, so how could he have avoided Noble Consort Su’s schemes, and precisely because he didn’t avoid, there was the matters afterwards. Even if ascending the throne, gathering the best doctors in the world, and the best medicine, he still didn’t live for very long. He indeed became the final winner, but he’d also bore too much, and lost too much.

Li Hong Yuan left the imperial palace, leaving carefreely, but the people that remained weren’t that relaxed.

However, as Jing Wan’s grandmother, Luo Old Madam at this time took the lead, “The palace is currently a mess, so we all best leave the palace and return home first. The matters afterwards, there will eventually be a procedure.”

Quite few people all agreed, especially those titled madams, having gotten quite frightened. Leaving first couldn’t be better.

However, when entering the palace, each and every one had shunned the Luo family, yet this while, they all subconsciously crowded around Luo Old Madam, even disregarding their face and having Luo Old Madam flattered from the tip of her hair to her toes. Especially those that didn’t hold back their words previously, having the Luo family ruthlessly offended, this while, they were all extremely cautious, just short of slapping their own mouth.

Towards these people, Luo Old Madam really didn’t have any interest, waving her hand and dismissing.

And as for the remaining court officials, indeed, the matter needed to be taken care of. They mutually glanced at one another, already having a decision.
