Chapter 66 A Kind-Looking but Ruthless Wife at Home
He wasn't a womanizer, otherwise he wouldn't have remained single for so many years.
But she just couldn't resist, as if some unseen force was drawing her in.
If she couldn't hear her thoughts, she would have suspected that she had been drugged.
The ambiguous atmosphere grew stronger, and at this moment, both of them could no longer contain their emotions.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has decreed: Enter the palace immediately." The knocking on the door interrupted the two.
Wen Yan: I wish you impotence if you do bad things.
Wei Jiqing didn't say anything, but his expression was rather unpleasant. He knew why the Emperor was in such a hurry; it was nothing more than the Fifth Princess's secret rendezvous with another man.
I just didn't expect him to be so impatient that he couldn't wait even a moment longer.
Wei Jiqing could only tidy up and then follow the others into the palace.
on the main hall.
The official knelt on the ground and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Your Majesty, I wish to accuse the Fifth Princess Consort of having an affair with a man outside the marriage."
Wen Xinxin's vision went black and she opened her mouth to retort, but her voice was drowned out.
“I saw it with my own eyes, and every word I said is true. There are also witnesses, including the Right Chancellor, his three disciples, and several common people. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you may have them questioned one by one.”
Bai offered a pale explanation: "Your Majesty cannot rely solely on Lord Wang's words."
Wang Yanguan raised his voice even louder: "There are also witnesses, including the Right Chancellor and several of his disciples. Young Master Bai must be confused; he should eat some walnuts before coming back. Furthermore, everything I have said is true; I hope Your Majesty will see the truth."
After speaking, Wang Yanguan bowed down earnestly.
Just kidding, this is a customer lead delivered right to my door, why not take it?
He couldn't just spend all day listening to music and drinking tea, neglecting his duties. He had to give these people a nudge to prevent them from becoming more and more brazen.
Wen Xinxin's face turned deathly pale, and she stammered, unsure of where to begin.
The emperor, enraged, wished he could slap the two men a few times to vent his anger.
Despite his mental disability, Lin'er's filial piety touched the Emperor, who was constantly on edge, allowing him to experience the deep bond of kinship that comes with being a father for so long.
The emperor, enraged by the "lowly woman's" words, smashed the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand. "I will divorce you in place of Lin'er!"
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, your daughter-in-law has a reason!"
The Emperor scoffed: "What's the reason? Did Lin'er arrange for you to meet Bai Yifan?"
It really is.
But Wen Xinxin couldn't say it, nor did she dare to.
Wei Jiqing shifted his feet and silently moved away from the battlefield.
The emperor continued his madness: "Guards, drag this vile woman out and execute her."
They refused to listen to any further statements.
“Father,” Wei Yanlin rushed over, “Your son greets Your Majesty.”
He spoke clearly and articulately, and was respectful and polite throughout the entire process.
The Emperor casually waved his hand: "Rise."
He paused, stunned.
The clear and resonant pronunciation, the impeccable manners.
The Emperor narrowed his dim eyes: "Lin'er, you..."
Wei Yanlin looked up, feigning extreme excitement: "Father, I'm alright! I'm finally alright!"
Upon hearing that Wen Xinxin and Bai Yifan had been captured and taken to the palace, Wei Yanlin rushed over in a panic, trying to find a solution as he went.
He knew the old man too well; he would definitely divorce Xin Xin, and it was almost impossible for him, in his idiocy, to succeed in pleading for her.
He could only protect Xin Xin by revealing in advance that he was no longer stupid and then attributing the credit for his recovery to Xin Xin.
Although this would certainly arouse the old man's suspicion, he had no other choice.
"Thanks to the divine physician that Xin Xin found, I was able to recover. Even though she made a mistake, her heart for me is as clear as the sun and moon." Wei Yanlin began to play the emotional card: "Thanks to Xin Xin, I was able to call you Father Emperor like a normal child."
Although the words were cheesy, the Emperor found them heartwarming, and his reaction to Wen Xinxin was hesitant.
"Although Lady Wen had an affair with another man, in consideration of her meritorious service in taking care of Lin'er, she will be exempted from other punishments and demoted to a concubine."
Wen Xinxin's heart had a huge gash, and blood was gushing out.
The rightful wife was turned into a concubine, and she fainted from anger and grief.
As for Bai Yifan, having an affair with the imperial concubine is a capital offense, so he was naturally imprisoned for three days before being executed.
Those standing all praised the Emperor's wisdom, bowed, and withdrew. Wei Jiqing hid among them and withdrew as well, but the Emperor kept him behind for a discussion.
This was the only time the Emperor did not keep Wei Yanlin.
Wei Yanlin's gaze grew increasingly dangerous as he watched the two figures depart.
Ha, you're already starting to doubt him?
Wei Jiqing followed the Emperor to the study.
The Emperor cut to the chase: "Jiqing, the position of Imperial Merchant has become vacant. Who do you think is suitable?"
Although he was somewhat obsessed with women, he was at least one of the brothers who had fought his way up, so he naturally saw through Wei Yanlin's actions.
It's just unknown when his good son recovered, or whether he wasn't stupid at all.
The Emperor's eyes darkened as he awaited Wei Jiqing's reply.
After a moment's thought, Wei Jiqing listed several people who were all loyal royalists but were actually his own people.
Sure enough, the emperor's gaze softened considerably when he looked at him.
Looking at the indifferent and composed Crown Prince who was always considerate of him, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings: "Ji Qing's position should be restored."
Wei Jiqing was flattered and wanted to express his gratitude, but then he remembered Wen Yan's tactic of "retreating to advance".
So he tentatively said, "Thank you, Father, but I feel that I still need more experience."
The Emperor's satisfaction grew even stronger.
As expected of the crown prince he appointed, he is a wise ruler who neither competes nor vies for power.
In the end, the emperor not only reinstated Wei Jiqing to his post, but also promoted him to the Ministry of Personnel.
After leaving the palace, Wei Jiqing was in a daze.
It's as if he's discovered a new continent.
He thought that he was just doing whatever his father asked him to do, without asking questions, and accepting any promotions he received. He only recommended suitable and capable officials.
It seems we can't do it this way.
Aside from his dishonorable dealings with Wei Yanlin, the Crown Prince, who was otherwise upright and honorable, seems to have finally seen the light.
He wants to learn a few more tricks from Yan Yan.
After thinking it over, she happily went home and hugged Wen Yan, basking in the joy of having found a treasure.
Wen Yan patted the man's head: "Husband, you seem to be in a good mood. Has something good happened?"
Actually, she had already learned the whole story through 233.
I never imagined he would have learned all her tricks through constant exposure; it's truly... amazing!
As expected of her husband, he learns things very quickly.
Wei Jiqing still feels like it's not real.
He was on the verge of losing, but unexpectedly he destroyed Wei Yanlin's supplies and successfully brought down the imperial merchant, replacing him with his own people.
He was even reinstated to his original position and transferred to the most important Ministry of Personnel.
Overnight, he once again had the means to fight Wei Yanlin.
The man tightened his grip, holding Wen Yan even closer.
He had never been so eager to win.
"My father reinstated me to my position and transferred me to the most important Ministry of Personnel. Yan Yan, it feels like I've been revitalized overnight."
Wen Yan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and cupped Wei Jiqing's face, rewarding him with a sweet kiss.
"My husband is wonderful!"
[It seems Wei Yanlin can't kill my husband, but he's a chosen one, even Heaven is paving the way for him. I wonder what will happen when my husband faces him next.]
Wen Yan looked at the person whose eyes were full of her with some worry.
[Fine, I'll stand by him anyway. Can't we even defeat Wei Yanlin?]
“Yanyan,” Wei Jiqing suddenly said, “I’m so lucky to have met you.”
Wen Yan smiled, looking at him with her eyes as clear as autumn water.
Her response was a forehead touching and a gentle kiss.
