After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day
Chapter 181 Illegitimate Daughter
There must be someone powerful in the court involved, and it is very likely that he is the same person who was behind his treason case and the previous military pay case.
The deputy generals and confidants were nothing more than pawns controlled by that man.
"There have always been traitors and villains. Who would have thought that one of them is from my clan!" Emperor Jingsheng slammed the imperial desk with his palm, his eyes blazing with anger. Yun Zhong's face also looked very ugly.
Eunuch Li was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of yourself!"
"Father, please calm down," Jiang Yu said in a deep voice, "Since I received your secret order and returned to the capital, I have been ordered to secretly investigate the factions in the court, and now I have made some progress.
Now the enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark. Every move they make is equivalent to putting on the shackles of death for themselves, which makes it easier for us to deploy in secret and take action in advance. I believe that we will be able to catch them all in a short time and protect our Great Yan. "
Emperor Jingsheng half-closed his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling at the moment, but his expression had obviously relaxed a lot, and after a long time he spoke.
“A swallow trapped in the wild is only for a short time, but given the opportunity, it will surely soar.”
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes: "And the great wind that will sweep across the Zhou Kingdom and overturn the four seas is about to rise..."
Emperor Jingsheng closed his eyes, waved his hand in the curling smoke, and said in a tired voice: "Back off."
Everything that happened during this period made him feel terrible.
Yesterday, Duke Zhou just submitted a memorial, saying that Concubine An had been unable to sleep all night, had been unable to eat and had been crying all day, looking emaciated, because of her demotion. If her position was not restored, he was afraid that he would lose his only sister, which would disappoint the entire Zhou family and the late Empress Dowager.
Emperor Jingsheng tightened his knuckles.
Even if he saw through their little tricks, what could he do? Due to the constraints of the forces behind the Duke's Mansion and the factor of the late Empress Dowager Ci, he could only issue an edict to restore Concubine An's position as a delaying tactic.
"You look so sad, don't worry. I think this Prince Rui is a good candidate. Let him take care of this matter. You and I just need to rest assured." Yun Zhong looked at Jiang Yu's departing figure, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You gave birth to a good son. If it weren't for that incident, I'm afraid you would have already handed over power and lived your leisurely life as an emperor."
"Haha," Emperor Jingsheng finally smiled slightly, picked up the glass cup and moistened his throat, "You have many more good sons than I do. In my opinion, it's time for you to step down and let the young people do the fighting."
"Don't," Yun Zhong took a sip of tea and raised his eyes from the edge of the cup, "Have you ever heard of the phrase 'old but strong'? Besides, my physical fitness is not weak now, how can it be like you?"
Emperor Jingsheng was dissatisfied: "What do you mean?"
"Literally," Yun Zhong put down the teacup, leaned back in his chair, and said with a hint of pride in his voice, "I remember that you used to drink strong tea, but now you drink pure tea. What's wrong? Are you getting weaker and weaker and can't stand it anymore? I think, after you drive away the foreign enemies and eliminate the internal troubles, you should quickly choose a virtuous person to abdicate and enjoy your remaining years in peace!"
Emperor Jingsheng's face darkened: "I am old, how can you be any better? Look at your white hair, ha!"
Eunuch Li listened to the noisy quarrel between the two and shook his head helplessly.
No matter how many years have passed, whenever the Emperor and General Yun meet, the only thing they will never forget is their fight.
Then he laughed again, but didn't this also prove that the two of them were very loyal to each other and had a deep friendship?
Outside the window, a skylark standing on the top of a tree branch flapped its wings and flew high, startling the cold snowflakes that suddenly fell from the sky.
Snow flakes fluttered down from the sky, landing on Lin Shuning's dark eyelashes, like a fluttering white butterfly covering a green feather, and then melting silently...
Lian'er wrapped herself tightly in her thin coat and hurriedly ran in from the courtyard gate, saying breathlessly, "Miss...Miss, something big has happened!"
It was so cold that Lin Shuning saw a thin layer of sweat on Lian'er's forehead. He asked curiously, "What's the hurry? Don't rush out. Let the sweat dry in the room, otherwise you will catch a cold."
Lian'er took a deep breath, her face flushed, and she said mysteriously, "Miss, just now when I went to the storehouse to find Butler Liu to collect this month's salary, I saw Lin Cheng bringing back a young woman. She looked younger than you, and she looked timid, but she was quite beautiful. Could she be Lin Cheng's new mistress?"
"Younger than me?" Lin Shuning shook his head. "That shouldn't happen. To take a concubine younger than his daughter, Lin Cheng must be really shameless. By the way, which door did they come in from? Didn't they avoid people?"
"The main entrance, not shy at all," Lian'er said seriously, "and I noticed that the servants around Lin Cheng were very respectful to this woman, could it be..."
Lin Shuning and Lian'er looked at each other and said in unison: "Is it Lin Cheng's illegitimate daughter outside?!"
"If it is really as we guessed, I am curious about how Wang will react after knowing this." Lin Shuning smiled meaningfully.
Although Wang was dissatisfied with Lin Cheng's favoritism towards He, Lin Cheng had only taken in one concubine over the years, which was considered good compared to other officials who had three wives and four concubines.
It can be said that she relied on this comfort to get through the long days alone. If even this comfort was gone now, Wang Shi would not know how devastated she would be.
Lin Shuning's hands slowly clenched.
The rewards for good and evil follow like a shadow, the law of nature is clear and retribution will come.
Her lips curled up, and a sarcastic smile appeared in her eyes as bright as ice and snow.
Lian Er, who was always at the forefront of Shang Shu Mansion gossip, said excitedly, "Miss, I will go out and ask around. If I have any news, I will come back and let you know immediately."
"Go ahead." Lin Shuning's eyes flashed. Today, there would probably be a good show to watch.
……
In the dim room, the air pressure was low and it was so quiet that only suppressed heavy breathing could be heard.
Then a sharp sound and the sound of shattering rang out at the same time, and the string of beads in Wang's hand fell to the ground.
She looked at Lin Cheng standing in front of her in disbelief, and pointed her finger at the girl hiding behind him: "Who do you say she is?!"
