Although Mrs. Wei was so calm, the Third Master and the Third Lady were always worried.
Even the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner that I had just eaten seemed to be stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down, making me feel uneasy.
It was already late at night when she returned to her room, but the Third Madam was not sleepy at all. After the Third Master came back from bathing, she touched her chest with fear and said, "Xiao Qi said there was a way before, I thought it was some way, but it turned out to be like this..."
This guy is really too bold. Why would he set his sights on the Huang family
The King of Chu had originally been prepared to kill all of the Wei family without any hatred, and now that Wei An had done this and plotted against the King of Chu, the hatred became even deeper.
The third master was more open-minded than she thought. He put the clothes on the rack and sneered, "That's fine. We're already being bullied and shat on. Can we still coexist peacefully? Anyway, it's either you die or I live..."
What’s more, Wei An’s move was really cruel.
To put it mildly, the King of Chu will definitely blame the Huang Family for not being on the same page with him, and he will also definitely vent his anger on the Princess of Chu who can't even control her own family.
And to take a more serious view, what would Emperor Longqing think
He had already decided on the candidate, the girl from the Wei family, but the Huang family came up with this at this time, and even used the excuse that the third prince was unwilling to openly sing a different tune from him.
Emperor Longqing was such a suspicious person that he would never think that the Huang family was loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
They will only think that the Huang family has other intentions, and will conclude that the King of Chu is behind it.
The third master curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
If it is really as he thinks, it would be really interesting.
After Emperor Longqing met with the three princes, Prince Chu, Prince Zheng and Prince Duan, he also summoned Prince Linjiang and told him about the Crown Prince staying in Beijing.
At this moment, something happened to the Huang family.
Emperor Longqing might think that the King of Chu had ulterior motives and wanted to show his loyalty by offering his daughter.
But since he even offered up his own daughter, one can imagine how strict the King of Chu was in controlling his subjects.
Could such a person really be without ambition
Obviously not.
He patted the Third Madam's back soothingly: "Okay, don't think about it. You've seen it now. No matter what, Xiao Qi is right. We won't be the ones who suffer. Go wash up first. It's getting late."
The third lady hummed.
He became more determined to discipline Wei Yuyou.
Wei Qi is indeed a person who cannot be offended.
She slept uneasily all night and dreamed about the Third Prince's wife. Perhaps it was because she thought about it during the day and dreamed about it at night. When she opened her eyes the next day, the first thing she did was to send someone to inquire for news.
The third master stopped him. He changed his clothes while shaking his head: "The old lady's news is no later than ours. In an emergency, we should be more cautious in what we say and do. If it is not something we should inquire about, we should not inquire about it."
The Third Lady knew that what he said made sense, so she suppressed her uneasiness and agreed. She told someone to tell Wei Yuyou that he didn't need to pay his respects, and then she went to He'an Courtyard by herself. She always wanted to hear the news as soon as possible.
When she arrived, Wei An was having breakfast with Old Mrs. Wei. As her daughter-in-law, she hurried forward to serve them.
Old Madam Wei waved her hand and said forget it, and asked someone to come in and clean up. Then she sat down and said softly to the Third Madam, "Don't worry, there will be a result soon."
But the process of waiting for the results is really too tiring...
The Third Lady thought so but did not dare to show it on her face, for fear of making Old Madam Wei feel even worse, so she quickly agreed.
At the same time, many families were not so relaxed and could not hide the panic on their faces.
It was originally planned that everyone should have a holiday after the New Year's Eve, and all officials had made their own plans. Some ministers even packed their bags and wanted to take a month-long leave to visit their families during this holiday.
Who knew that they would receive an order at the last minute to enter the palace.
The New Year's Eve had just ended, and the grand palace banquet seemed to be just yesterday, but no one had the mind to think about it. When they heard the order, their hearts skipped a beat at the same time.
The announcement of a meeting of officials at this time could be about anything other than the Huang family scandal that just happened yesterday
But this matter...
This is a really difficult matter.
Emperor Longqing did not find it difficult. He announced the decision to replace the person in court, announcing that the girl from the Huang family would replace Wei Qi from the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion and hold a ghost marriage with the third prince.
Although the previous dynasty had a tradition of ghost marriages since ancient times, it was the first time for this dynasty. Many rules and etiquette did not require dinner, so Emperor Longqing ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the third prince's ghost marriage at the same time.
The third prince was posthumously named Crown Prince Inhyeon, and the girl from the Huang family was to have a ghost marriage with the third prince as Crown Princess.
Emperor Longqing spoke in a calm and steady tone, and there was no expression on his face.
But the King of Chu broke out in a cold sweat for no reason. The cold sweat that kept oozing out of his forehead flowed into his neck, freezing his blood so much that it seemed to have frozen.
These idiots from the Huang family! Master Huang is an idiot!
They were greedy for wealth and sold their daughters for fame, but they ended up roasting him on the fire!
What would Emperor Longqing think when he was so impatient to ask his princess's family to curry favor with him after the decision of the Crown Prince to stay in Beijing was made!
These idiots really killed him.
Boundless anger spread in his heart.
But Master Huang's legs were shaking with joy.
His official rank was not high, he was just a doctor of the Imperial Academy. Unlike other doctors who could serve as lecturers to princes and emperors, he was a person who just sat on the bench and had no qualifications to attend court meetings.
This is the first time I stand among the officials.
He felt that he had made the right move and was even proud of his decision.
Although the King of Chu is good, he can't help him in any way, let alone give him wealth and honor immediately. What's the use of those illusory promises? The wealth and honor that can be grasped is the most important.
Besides, doesn’t Emperor Longqing have a pregnant queen now
How many of the King of Chu’s brothers are easy to get along with
The process of waiting for him to achieve success was too slow and he couldn't wait any longer.
The corner of Emperor Longqing's mouth curled up slightly, and he glanced at the King of Chu with a smile, and his eyes swept over the King of Linjiang, the King of Duan, and the King of Zheng, who had different expressions, but he still didn't show any expression.
Prince Duan was shocked. He was not very brave. He had been living in fear ever since the princess got into trouble. His power had always been suppressed by Emperor Longqing. Now he just wanted to get by. He could see that Emperor Longqing was unhappy.
But he didn't understand why Emperor Longqing was unhappy, which was worth worrying about.
In contrast to him, King Zheng next to him lowered his head.
He wanted to laugh. The King of Chu thought he had planned everything, but one day he would make a fool of himself.
He thought that everyone in the world was under his control, but he forgot that trouble always comes from within the family.
If we were to ask who in the world can hurt people the most, it would of course be the people you are close to and familiar with. They know all your details, and when they stab you, they will always be quick and cruel.
