Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 438: Plan Start

Chapter 438: Plan Start

Although this was a segment of the plan, but when Li Hong Yuan really, because of certain unusual yet undetectable reason, fall into a coma, unable to wake up, moreover persisting continuously for more than forty hours, and even when there were no outsiders present, still completely unable to wake him, Jing Wan still felt terribly anxious inside, for a time, very much regretting suggesting this kind of idea. She indeed didn’t expect, for such a play, it would be realistic to this degree, and towards the ‘main culprit’, Gong Jiu, she naturally didn’t have a good face either. However, in the end, Jing Wan’s rationality was still intact. Gong Jiu was just acting under orders, so she shouldn’t take her anger out on him. Just, previously, Jing Wan didn’t know it would be like this. Reasonably speaking, her own husband won’t conceal this matter from her. As such, was it a small mishap occurring, or Gong Jiu taking the opportunity to betray his master?

One can’t blame Jing Wan for thinking too much, even having suspicions towards the trusted people by Li Hong Yuan’s side. After all, the so-called human heart was the hardest to control. The cases of getting betrayed by one’s trusted aide, were they few? As such, even if she didn’t take her anger out on him, she still treated Gong Jiu coldly for the time being.

And the ones that knew about this matter were just those countable few, and at this time, they also didn’t dare to plea for Gong Jiu, because things seemingly were indeed a little different from the plan. They also believed in Gong Jiu, but for some things, it wasn’t enough to just believe.

Towards this bit, Gong Jiu was also clear, so he didn’t have any resentment inside. However, he more or less was a bit miserable. This time, there was a bit of a mishap. The situation originally wasn’t this serious. Once it’s nighttime, and he lights the special incense stick, master should wake up, but the problem now was that it didn’t have any use. He’d also repeatedly examined over and over again, but still wasn’t able to find where the problem was. That’s why, compared to those messy emotions, he further wanted to figure out the reason why as soon as possible. However, what was fortunate was that master’s current situation hasn’t exceeded their control, just his sleep time might be relatively long.

Gong Jiu explained this to Jing Wan.

Jing Wan naturally can’t just dispel her suspicions like this, “For wangye to just continue sleeping like this, not eating or drinking, will it damage his body?”

“Don’t worry wangfei, even if wangye sleeps for half a month, at most it’s just becoming somewhat thin. There won’t be other situations appearing.”

With the original physiological functions reducing, it was still okay, else, in this era that had no way of injecting nutrient fluids, falling into a coma will definitely result in sleeping to death.

“Once wangye wakes up, go receive the punishment on your own.”

“Yes.”

Jing Wan finally relaxed a little, but she also inwardly decided, this kind of thing absolutely can’t have a second time. Just, this while, Jing Wan finally realized something in hindsight. Reasonably speaking, for someone like her own husband, he absolutely won’t have his own life easily handed to someone else, even if this person is his trusted aide. The reason why he would agree was completely because…….because of her?! Towards her, he has given his absolute trust!

Because Jin Qinwang had suddenly ‘collapsed’, some situations in the manor have also become unstable.

Through these various matters, Jing Wan was also very clear, she must stabilize the situation. Her own husband making such a decision at this time, how was it not necessarily creating for her an opportunity to completely establish herself, so how can she let down his good intentions?

Although ever since marrying, because his attitude was clear-cut, the entire qinwang manor, as well as the people below him, all were very deferential towards her, but for the most part, it wasn’t because of her herself. If he, at this time, were to change his attitude, then the people below will a hundred percent change face immediately. In the past, Jing Wan didn’t feel it was anything, and she herself was also considered ambitious, wanting to stand alongside him, but in the end, having awareness wasn’t enough. In just these two short days, she learned, this won’t do. Relying on him was okay, because they were connected at the heart, and she also didn’t mind, but when he’s ‘not present’, if she doesn’t have enough authority, then mishap will most likely occur.

Don’t say something like he absolutely won’t leave her side. In the current state of affairs, no one can confidently say such a line.

That’s why, for the first time, Jing Wan made a firm decision, having the servants that were secretly gossiping in the manor ruthlessly sorted out, issuing an order for everything in the manor to continue on as before, and do what they should be doing. If mishap occurs anywhere, then from top to bottom, all will be punished severely.

One had to admit, this was indeed very useful. At least, the disturbance on the surface all disappeared without a trace.

Le Cheng Emperor saw the blue shadows around her eyes. She, who was originally always a bright and radiant person, had a hard time covering up her weariness, so he knew that she certainly wasn’t well either, yet now, forcibly endured, even coming to console him. Because of loving the house and its crow, and also because Jing Wan had gifted him that painting, towards Jing Wan, he genuinely doted on a little, “Old six’s wife, you also don’t need to worry too much. Just as you said, nothing will happen to Yuan’er. All say disaster lasts for thousands of years, this bastard, afraid even King Enma all won’t dare to take him. You need to take care of yourself too. Don’t have it where once he wakes, you instead collapse. When time comes, he will be heartbroken.”

Jing Wan forcibly smiled, nodding her head. This actually wasn’t an act. Because there exist an unknown factor, to not be worried was definitely a lie, “………..Imperial father, what should we do now? How about inviting some folk doctors for a look?” Appearing as if she was desperate to find a doctor.

Le Cheng Emperor slightly contemplated, nodding his head and agreeing, because he also knew that some talented people were indeed among the commoners. Turning his head, he just let someone hang an imperial announcement, even having it urgently sent out eight hundred li to the various prefectures.

Jing Wan very much wanted to say, was there any use to this? Looking for people that far away, even if really able to find, once the person rushes to the capital, the dishes would’ve already grown cold. However, this ultimately wasn’t completely useless either. Borrowing this matter to boost support wasn’t impossible. Don’t forget, their ultimate goal was setting up ceremonial altars throughout the country, having the people come pray for good fortune. At this time, they can just treat it as laying the foundation.

Le Cheng Emperor stayed in Jin Qinwang Manor for an entire day, but he still had quite a few important governmental affairs to attend to, so it was impossible for him to continuously stay in Jin Qinwang Manor, and could only return to the palace first. Prior to leaving, he ordered the group of ‘useless imperial physicians’ to stay in Jin Qinwang Manor. Even if useless, still need to stay. Never mind if Jin Qinwang is fine, but if there’s any mishap, then they will all be buried with him.

With Le Cheng Emperor gone, it didn’t mean that Jin Qinwang Manor will be peaceful again. The others didn’t dare to come to Jin Qinwang Manor, but those brothers and sisters of Li Hong Yuan’s, as well as uncles and paternal cousins, these people can’t just ignore the matter, and because of Le Cheng Emperor, they even need to appear as if exceptionally concerned and worried. In any case, the living Enma was unconscious, so what’s there to be scared of?

As such, Jin Qinwang Manor was unprecedentedly lively. Even Gong Qinwang who’d gotten violently beaten up by Li Hong Yuan during Le Cheng Emperor’s birthday banquet, at this time, also completely let bygones be bygones, having a look of a good older brother being worried for his younger brother.

Just, if able to have the ‘pleasure at another’s misfortune’ in the bottom of his eyes covered up a little, then it’ll be even more fitting.

Of these people, how many were genuinely worried for Li Hong Yuan? Afraid, there wasn’t a single one. Jing Wan was incomparably annoyed.

These people probably all wished for the living Enma to never wake up. After all, this time, this matter had nothing to do with them. Even if he dies, Le Cheng Emperor also won’t blame it on them.

Afterwards, she unhesitantly ordered to drive out the guests, her attitude strong, not leaving any face, very much having Li Hong Yuan’s style. Although not a hundred percent, there was at least seventy eighty percent.

Some people naturally were unhappy, but Jing Wan simply didn’t care. Truthfully speaking, she was already someone that would even offend Rui Qinwang and Kang Qinwang, so this while, she won’t care whether these people were happy or not. Moreover, her status was displayed there. Among these people, there really weren’t that many that were able to make her lower her head. Moreover, as the living Enma’s consort, lowering her head to others, wasn’t that just making her own husband lose face?

With Jing Wan’s firm attitude, it wasn’t good for these people to say too much, instead even needing to nicely console her.

After getting rid of these people, Jing Wan directly shut the gates and declined guests. Afterwards, people continuously sent things in succession, but all very perceptively didn’t come to visit, including the Luo family. Of course, to avoid letting her grandfather and grandmother worry, Jing Wan had actually informed them ahead of time. Although her words were vague, they were still clear. These two elders were both extremely wise people, so believe they will certainly understand her intentions, and moreover, she completely didn’t need to worry about them messing up.

Afterwards, things continued for three more days. Although there were people that took the imperial announcement, but after Jin Qinwang Manor had those that had initially gotten blinded by the high rewards, yet didn’t know their own worth, all ruthlessly sorted out, no one else dared to randomly accept.

Jing Wan however couldn’t sit still anymore. If he was able to wake, then she wouldn’t mind waiting a few more days, but with things like this now, she absolutely can’t continue waiting.

“Start the next step, let Grandmaster Liao Chen enter the capital as quickly as possible.”
