Chapter 335 The abstinent first assistant of the noble noble VS the abandoned wife of the East Palac
Cuiying was also listening to other palace servants' discussions outside and came back to complain because she was so angry. However, she immediately regretted it after she made the complaint.
The lady is still in confinement after childbirth, how can she listen to such bad things?
She covered her mouth in annoyance and said, "Miss, those words just now were just nonsense from me, please don't take them to heart."
Qu Xinyue smiled and shook her head. Although the prince was very powerful now, everything was like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, all of which were false.
Instead, she looked at Wen Yuzhi leisurely, examining the stern face in front of her with a half-smile, and her expression darkened visibly.
Sensing the teasing in Qu Xinyue's eyes, the coldness in Wen Yuzhi's eyes disappeared and turned into warmth and gentleness again.
He put the child who had been rocked to sleep in his arms into the small rocking bed, and after he put the child to sleep side by side with another child, he helped Qu Xinyue tuck the corners of the quilt.
"The auspicious sign belongs to our child, how can we let others take it away? Yueyue, have a good rest, your husband will go and pack up and come back soon."
The tone was calm, but one could still hear the petty paranoia and malice.
Qu Xinyue lay on the quilt with an extremely happy smile, messing up the quilt again. Wen Yuzhi had no choice but to rearrange the corners of the quilt helplessly.
It was as if he had given all his patience and tenderness in this life to the woman in front of him.
Chonghua Hall.
The prince had taken off his mourning clothes and couldn't wait to put on the dragon robe that had just been made.
A group of court officials stood in the main hall, with their heads bowed, waiting for the prince to ascend the sacred and solemn imperial platform and finally sit on the dragon throne that represented his noble status.
Although the prince's leg disease was criticized, no one dared to speak out against it once the auspicious sign from heaven appeared.
The prince, with a high-spirited smile on his face, stepped onto the imperial platform leading to the dragon throne.
"Wait."
Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice sounded at the palace gate.
Everyone couldn't help but look back, only to see Wen Yuzhi, who had not been to court for a long time and was almost semi-retired. Prime Minister Wen was walking slowly towards them.
He was standing against the light, and the morning glow cast a layer of golden light on his tall and slender figure, making him too eye-catching.
There was a depth in his cold eyes, revealing a profound irony.
The prince was displeased with the interruption of his important moment of reaching the summit, and turned back to glance at Wen Yuzhi unhappily.
The prince thought he would see Wen Yuzhi's submissive and apologetic eyes, but instead he met such a pair of eyes, as if he was looking at a clown, and he immediately became angry!
Ever since the news of the auspicious sign from heaven spread, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Not to mention that someone dared to give him a hard time.
Not only was Wen Yuzhi late for court, he even mocked him to death.
This is an old man hanging himself, he is tired of living!
"Wen Yuzhi, you are so brave!" The prince did not even call Wen Yuzhi by his official title, but directly scolded him by his full name.
He wanted to let everyone present know that he disliked Wen Yuzhi, and it didn't matter if everyone could add insult to injury in the future!
Wen Yuzhi raised his eyebrows slightly. Although his position at this moment was lower than that of the prince standing on the imperial platform, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the prince with a look of disdain.
It seems as if his calmness and dignity are innate.
All the ministers looked at each other.
They didn't understand why Prime Minister Wen could be so tough against the Crown Prince.
The prince is blessed by heaven, and his ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion. Isn't Prime Minister Wen afraid that the prince will take revenge on him later?
But among the colleagues present, which one has not been punished by Prime Minister Wen?
Even if all of us joined together, we couldn't beat him alone.
It can be seen that Prime Minister Wen is so smart that it's scary!
Then the problem is coming...
Prime Minister Wen is so arrogant that he doesn't take the Crown Prince seriously. This must be a serious matter.
You can't take sides right now.
Look again.
The prince stood on a high place with an excellent view, and he could see the subtle changes in the expressions of the ministers below.
But precisely because he saw it clearly, the prince was so furious.
Do these people take him, the new emperor, seriously?
Wen Yuzhi was impatient to waste time with the prince, and he wanted to go back as soon as he came out.
You know, he has a family now.
So Wen Yuzhi clapped his hands, and suddenly, a group of guards in black appeared.
More than fifty people entered the hall all of a sudden, and the space seemed to become crowded in an instant.
The ministers were not surprised to see the men in black suddenly appear, because from the patterned patterns on the sleeves of these men in black, they could tell that these people were the Royal Shadow Guards.
However, what shocked the ministers was that the person who could command these royal shadow guards was not the legitimate crown prince of the royal family, but the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne.
But it’s Wen Yuzhi!
Aren’t the Royal Shadow Guards supposed to be loyal to the royal family?
The prince's face suddenly turned gloomy as water, and he questioned Wen Yuzhi in a cold voice.
"I have been looking for the token to command the Shadow Guards these past few days, but to no avail. I don't think it's with Prime Minister Wen. Will Prime Minister Wen explain?"
To those who didn't know the truth, it seemed as if Wen Yuzhi had stolen the Shadow Guard's token.
But the ministers present were not all fools. They knew in their hearts that the royal shadow's loyalty would never bypass the prince and defect to the ministers.
Unless the prince does something that the Royal Shadow Guards cannot tolerate, they will choose another master to serve.
But this new master must also be a master with royal blood.
All of a sudden, there was some incomprehensible weirdness in the eyes of the ministers when they looked at the prince.
Wen Yuzhi spoke lightly, but the words he said the next second were like thunder exploding on everyone's forehead.
Everyone's head was buzzing.
"Prince, you violated human ethics and murdered the emperor. Now that the emperor's body is still warm, you can't wait to sit on the throne. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
The ministers could no longer remain calm and started talking among themselves.
"Is this true? The prince killed his father?"
"No way, if the prince killed his father, why would the heaven send down auspicious signs and allow him to become the new emperor?"
"Are you stupid? If there is no solid evidence, would these Royal Shadow Guards collectively betray the Crown Prince?"
"Hiss - my brain is not enough."
……
The noisy criticism reached the prince's ears, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell off the imperial platform.
At this moment, there was only one terrible thought left in his mind.
Wen Yuzhi knew!
How did Wen Yuzhi know?
It should have been seamless!
No, I can’t admit it, even if I die!
The prince forced himself to calm down, glared at Wen Yuzhi with bloodthirsty hatred in his eyes, and spoke sternly.
"Prime Minister Wen, you are talking nonsense! I am the new emperor appointed by heaven as the auspicious sign from heaven. How could I be the traitor you are talking about?"
He took a deep breath, pointed at Wen Yuzhi, gnashing his teeth in hatred, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Wen Yuzhi, you slandered me at will and committed a crime of tongue-splitting. You should be punished by having your tongue cut off and your throat slit!"
Wen Yuzhi sneered softly, and asked calmly without moving, "What if I have evidence?"
The sound is not loud, but it is extremely lethal.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and their eyes moved back and forth between Wen Yuzhi and the prince, with a look of shock on their faces.
The prince's heart choked, his eyes were a little flustered, he swallowed his saliva and bluffed: "You said there is evidence, then there is evidence..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw another person coming into the hall.
These people were still wearing plain linen clothes, and they were all surviving elderly members of the royal family.
They have no power on a daily basis, but they still have a lot of say within the royal family.
The old man who was leading the group came into the hall with the help of the clan members and looked at the prince with disappointment.
This person is of a very high generation, and the prince has to call him uncle.
The uncle's voice was hoarse: "Before Wei Biao died, I met him, and he said with his own mouth that the prince was the murderer who assassinated the late emperor! Others don't understand Wei Biao, but I do!"
"He is a member of the royal family, and your father has to call him uncle. However, he has never been interested in government affairs and prefers fighting and killing in the martial arts world. He gave the throne to your father..."
This was the first time that the ministers heard this secret and they believed what their great-grandfather, a relative of the royal family, said.
Wen Yuzhi glanced at the prince's pale face and sighed in his heart, this is just the beginning.
He spoke slowly.
"If there is an auspicious sign from heaven, it has indeed landed in the East Palace."
Amid the astonishment of the crowd, he continued, "But the auspicious sign landed in the Yushu Courtyard of the East Palace, on the two newly born little princes and princesses."
