Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 426: The Cause and Effect

Chapter 426: The Cause and Effect

That’s why, at this time, n.o.ble Consort Su was actually thinking about Li Hong Yuan, how laughable and how lamentable. Then, it was hard to say whether those true feelings n.o.ble Consort Su invested in Li Hong Yuan were because he had worth, or because she invested thus reciprocated. Perhaps between the two, it was just mutually inclusive in itself.

Just, she’d encountered the Li Hong Yuan that came back after his rebirth, and the n.o.ble Consort Su now also didn’t have any value. Thus, it was just tragedy waiting for her.

Of course, for someone like n.o.ble Consort Su, regardless of how conflicted she was inside, it would never show on the surface. On the outside, regardless of whether she was happy or angry on the inside, she would only show others what she wanted them to see. As her age increased, this skill just grew increasingly profound.

However, the problem now was that they haven’t ‘colluded’ yet, so the people below may not necessarily understand their intention. If one were to speak carelessly, the aftermath brought about will be considerably serious.

“All mute?” Le Cheng Emperor heavily slapped the desk, “Min Xiang, you talk!”

Princess Min Xiang subconsciously trembled, lifting her head to secretly glance at Le Cheng Emperor. Even if Princess Min Xiang wasn’t one that knew how to observe someone’s words and expression, she was still able to clearly sense Le Cheng Emperor’s coldness at this very moment. Especially that pair of eyes that lacked all warmth, that was something completely different from her memories. Facing n.o.ble Consort Su, and even Li Hong Ming’s anger, Princess Min Xiang would all subconsciously carry a bit of indifference, but Le Cheng Emperor wasn’t the same. As long as he wasn’t a puppet emperor, as the imperial sons and daughters, as well as consorts, all were very clear what it will be like to lose the emperor’s favor. Those younger sisters and brothers that lacked favor and got bullied by her, were there any less of them?

There was nothing that made Princess Min Xiang more scared than this.

“Imperial father……….” Carrying a bit of grievance and a bit of childishness, carrying the most delicate and the most innocent look. That was the appearance Le Cheng Emperor liked the most.

“Min Xiang, did you already forget that you’ve already married as a wife, you being like this, how is it proper?!”

Princess Min Xiang’s expression on her face instantly stiffened, appearing quite interesting. A moment later, probably recalling Li Hong Ming’s words, she no longer opened her mouth, just weakly began sobbing, appearing weak and innocent. In addition to the white bandages wrapped around her head, she appeared quite pitiful.

Le Cheng Emperor was unmoved. As one can imagine, with that many people in his inner palace, for the sake of winning his tender feelings, what methods have they not used before. When he’s happy, or perhaps, willing to pamper someone, regardless whether it’s the imperial concubines or his children, even at times like these, he was all able to accept, in fact, don’t even need to do much. But, when he doesn’t want to accept, then no matter how much was done, it was all useless.

Princess Min Xiang wept and didn’t speak. Le Cheng Emperor didn’t continue saying anything either, just his expression didn’t soften in the slightest. “What about fuma? You don’t want to say a bit of something?” Just like how he ignored Princess Min Xiang’s ear and the strangle marks on her neck, Le Cheng Emperor similarly ignored fifth fuma’s missing arm, ignoring that deformed face of his, as well as that completely swollen and unable to be opened eye.

Actually, towards fifth fuma’s miserable appearance, Le Cheng Emperor more or less was a bit astonished. However, the anger inside him surpa.s.sed everything.

Originally, it hasn’t even been two days since the birthday banquet. The incident on the day of the birthday banquet still haven’t been investigated clearly, and the various countries’ emissaries were still in the capital. After all, after the birthday celebration, it was time to discuss matters regarding the interest between countries, for instance, certain collaborations, or certain trades. There were still many many matters to attend to. When buried in work, someone actually even caused trouble, making it known to all, letting outsiders see a joke, letting the commoners see a laughing matter. In the past, he also thought that this fifth daughter was still pretty good, but only now did he learn that this one was also an idiot that let her emotions affect her decisions. What kind of person was his n.o.ble consort, he although can’t say that he absolutely understood, but raising such a daughter, it truly made one very disappointed.

In this current situation, it was indeed fifth fuma that had the most right to speak.

However, he just felt cold all over. Even the depths of his bones were all like so. Everything before his eyes was dark, and his severed arm seemingly went numb from the pain, his consciousness also somewhat blurry.

Since Le Cheng Emperor let him speak, he naturally just spoke, not having any regulations, speaking disjointedly, a line here and there. However, Le Cheng Emperor didn’t interrupt, so everyone could only quietly listen.

Even if not having any regulation, everyone was still able to learn quite a bit of information. ————–Fifth fuma recounted his grievances, his dignity getting trampled, and also his overflowing anger. Ever since marrying Princess Min Xiang, he was just no longer a human, even less than an animal. As he spoke, he just began crying, his face covering in snot and tears, without the slightest image to speak of. Fifth fuma was also a young master of a large family. Although his inherent nature was a bit cowardly, his upbringing and etiquette still won’t have mistakes. For him to be like this now, one can say that this man has truly broken down.

As fifth fuma recounted, the one that was affected the most was still Princess Min Xiang. After all, she wasn’t the kind that knew how to control her own emotions. Because of towering rage, her face was all somewhat twisted and deformed. Those things that fifth fuma said seriously challenged her authority, nearly just exploding on the spot. It was still n.o.ble Consort Su sternly warning that made Princess Min Xiang settle down. However, she was no longer weakly weeping, keeping her head lowered the whole time, unable to see her expression clearly.

Fifth fuma ultimately still pa.s.sed out. His parents were unable to think about too much, hurriedly supporting him, sorrowfully crying. However, in the end, they still took into consideration the fact that they were before the emperor, so restrained themselves from beginning to end, and didn’t allow their emotions to overflow.

Le Cheng Emperor rubbed his pulsing temples, letting someone call an imperial physician.

“What’s going on with fuma raising an outside mistress?” In the end, this was the root cause of everything.

Prior to Min Xiang marrying, the imperial family didn’t know. To put it severely, this was just deceiving the ruler, and this was definitely a serious crime. However, everything still depended on how Le Cheng Emperor viewed this matter.

“Your Majesty, fuma, he has always been timid, strictly following the rules since childhood, very rarely doing something out of line. And raising an outside mistress, even having children, we all didn’t know. After getting selected as a fuma, he further didn’t dare to have this matter made known. After marrying princess, he originally already planned to have them all sent out of the capital, and in the future, never meet with them again. But, the things that the princess has done, truly, truly………..Fuma had grievances in his heart, but nowhere to voice, especially when the princess aborted the child on her own without saying anything. The princess is unwilling to bear children for fuma, yet doesn’t allow fuma to have others by his side. But, we can’t just watch him have his descendants severed, no? Your Majesty, this branch of ours just has this one and only child. Would princess even be willing to adopt a child from the clan? Having no other choice, we thus had the three of them kept behind…………..”

Fifth fuma’s mother sorrowfully cried as she had the matter explained. At this time, they simply didn’t dare to lie and didn’t dare to add fuel to the story.

Le Cheng Emperor’s gaze heavily landed on Princess Min Xiang, “And what’s going on with today’s matter?” From the looks of it, he simply didn’t plan on verifying with Min Xiang.

“Imperial father, it’s not like that at all. Could it be that you won’t even believe your own daughter and would rather believe an outsider?” Princess Min Xiang was also anxious.

“Shut up, this emperor right now doesn’t want to listen to you speak. Where’s Min Xiang’s wet nurse? Where are the guards? You all explain to this emperor one by one. If anyone dares to conceal anything in the slightest………….”

As such, naturally no one dared to say nonsense, and the process of what happened was all very clear.

“Good, good, really is this emperor’s good daughter. This emperor always thought that even if you were a bit willful, your heart wasn’t bad, yet unexpectedly, it was actually this malicious.”

“Imperial father, it really isn’t like that, you have to believe me………….”
