Chapter 254: Confrontation
An Yi and them silently lit a candle for Rui Qinwang.
What ‘too idle’, clearly it’s just letting him not have ti to look for trouble.
It hasn’t even been that long since nearly losing his Majesty’s favor previously, yet now it was going to happen again. One for the most part can imagine how irritable Rui Qinwang will be. And with Rui Qinwang needing to be worried over, noble consort probably won’t have the energy to look for wangfei ‘to chat’ either.
Of course, this ‘causing a bit of trouble’ also isn’t just a matter of one word. Not only do they have to really let Li Hong Ming be burned badly in the head, unable to free his hands, they further needed to make it watertight, letting others be completely unable to detect that Li Hong Yuan is the mastermind behind the scenes.
All these years, Li Hong Yuan has been hibernating in the dark, gathering people in secret. And his thods naturally were nurous and varied. Because he has ‘foresight’, even if he was long unclear, as long as he had a faint impression, and later sending people to investigate, it naturally was just half the work, twice the effect. Making threats and promises, that was all re trifles. Having the person forced into a dead end, and afterwards, have no choice but to serve him, he similarly did. Sotis, he not only didn’t hide it, but would even clearly tell them in front of their face, letting them know who their ‘enemy’ was.
As such, on the surface, they were other people’s people, but in the dark, they were loyal to him. Because of this, the ‘spies’ in his hands definitely were more capable than a great majority’s, even able to touch the things at the core. Thus, if Li Hong Yuan wanted to sort out soone, compared to those brothers of his, it was much easier. Truthfully speaking, Li Hong Yuan felt, even under those kinds of circumstances in his past life, he was all able to beco the final winner. In this life, having such a big advantage, if he still were to lose, then he all didn’t need to live anymore.
He thodically had the matters ordered down. Also, even if Li Hong Ming looks for Head Minister Luo to ask for benefits, still need to let him think that what he’s consuming is a at pie, but in reality, what he’s consuming is poison. And even if he realizes, he won’t be able to spit it out either. Also need to let the others know, he used a concubine releasing letter to obtain a big benefit. When ti cos……………..
Thus, this night, quite a few people in the capital all secretly made movents.
If switched with prior to getting married, after having the matters taken care of, Li Hong Yuan will also just rest in the study. But now, he naturally won’t do this. He slept the most peacefully while holding Jing Wan, so why the need to endure inadequate sleep. Moreover, when he slept holding his wife, even if the sky collapsed, still need to wait until after he wakes up.
Li Hong Yuan properly tidied up and then climbed onto the bed. When nearing Jing Wan, Jing Wan just automatically moved closer, “Ah Yuan went out?” Jing Wan said in her half-asleep and half-awake state, her voice a bit hoarse.
“En, took care of so things, did I disturb you?” Li Hong Yuan had her taken into his arms, stroking her hair, “Just sleep.”
“En.” Jing Wan softly responded, and very quickly entered the dreamscape.
The next day, sure enough, Noble Consort Su sent soone to summon Jing Wan into the palace.
Li Hong Yuan originally wanted to accompany her into the palace, but Jing Wan declined, saying with a smile, “The inner palace is the won’s battlefield. Noble Consort Su wants to be a good consort mother, not having you pulled in, so I naturally can also be a good wife. Wangye, don’t worry, I can deal with it. Those secretive thods, I perhaps far can’t compare with Noble Consort Su, but for the things on the surface, I’m not afraid of her. Wangye although can block the wind and rain for , but compared to being that climbing dodder flower[1], I further want to stand shoulder to shoulder with wangye. Moreover, if the days are too easy and comfortable, with no wind or waves, it’s also quite dull.”
Jing Wan’s words, in reality, also made clear her attitude———-shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand.
Li Hong Yuan smiled, landing a kiss on her forehead, “I very much look forward to.”
He knew Jing Wan had a ravine in her heart[2]. He was willing to protect her for her whole life, but in the absence of danger, he didn’t mind Jing Wan displaying her abilities and talent. Although right now, there wasn’t any space for her to display herself, but wanting to find a bit of amusent, balancing out one’s life, wasn’t a problem either. Entering the palace today indeed wasn’t anything major, so naturally he was willing to indulge her.
(T/N: Sotis the author’s grammar is so broken it’s almost impossible to work with, so I just rework the whole structure.)
On normal days, Jing Wan didn’t really wear makeup all that much, yet today, she simply applied a bit of makeup. And the originally bright and charming Jin Wangfei just beca a bit withered, her complexion even carrying a bit of sorrow, seemingly like a violently blooming flower suddenly wilting.
Li Hong Yuan raised his brow, “This look of Wan Wan’s is also impressive.” A little more deeper and it’ll practically catch up with those face changing disguises. If not for him personally witnessing, he similarly wouldn’t know it’s makeup. For those who’ve never seen before, they certainly will be easily deceived.
“Nothing more than so small tricks.”
Thus, Jing Wan went to enter the palace, while Li Hong Yuan remained in the manor, continuing to ‘mold’. As for whether or not he was really molding, only he himself knew. When scheming against people, would he even loudly shout it out?
Jing Wan entered the palace, directly heading to Yucui Palace. Yucui Palace’s atmosphere was a bit off, and after seeing Jing Wan’s appearance, it just beca even more amiss. Jing Wan entered Yucui Palace’s main hall, discovering that there were also a few imperial concubines present. This was after obtaining a ‘big present’ yesterday, the zhoulis just entered the palace first thing in the morning to complain to their respective consort mothers? Heh………….
“This daughter-in-law greets consort mother, greeting all the Highnesses…….”
“Quickly get up. My child, what’s wrong, the complexion this lacking?” Noble Consort Su asked in concern.
“To have caused consort mother to worry, this daughter-in-law just didn’t sleep well last night, it’s no matter.” Jing Wan faintly smiled.
“Then again, Jin Wangfei has just gotten married, so must be tired.” An imperial consort covered her mouth and said with a laugh, “However, although young, still can’t be too self-indulgent. Won in the end can’t compare with n, wangfei should just leave two more people to share the burden.”
Isn’t it just the matter of having the people given to your sons? This is attempting to use beauties to seduce them to not have ambitions? Honestly, it really isn’t that serious. Speaking of which, as imperial princes, which one didn’t go through countless beauties. If they really were to just beco subrged in it that easily, then each and every one just don’t need to continue working either. Do what assignnt, just directly go ho and drown to death in an intoxicated dream.
Jing Wan pretended to not understand, her gaze sowhat empty, seemingly as if in a daze and simply didn’t hear.
Noble Consort Su was also fed up. First thing in the morning, they just ca to her place, noisily chirping, the ins and outs of their words all just how this new daughter-in-law of hers was easily jealous, not virtuous, and because Jin Qinwang was frivolous, she just couldn’t stand seeing other married couples having a good relationship, using beauties to drive a wedge in other people’s relationships, this heart truly malicious. These things, Noble Consort Su didn’t care about, but the matter of the concubine releasing letter was also faintly ntioned, making one furious from hearing.
Jing Wan didn’t know what these people were thinking, but if she knew, heh, these people’s imagination was also very strong.
Noble Consort Su also secretly studied Jing Wan. Forcing her son to write the concubine releasing letter, such extraordinary sha and humiliation, for her, as the mother, how could she not be angry. But, in the end, she still endured.
However, through this matter, it rather proved one thing, the Luo family really wasn’t that indifferent towards Luo Jing Ying as one had imagined. Perhaps everything was all a facade put up by Luo Pei Shan that old thing. That old thing was also rather impressive, having them all duped, else on Luo Jing Ying’s matter, no matter what, all wouldn’t have been that ruthless.
Speaking of which, having suffered a loss on this matter, Li Hong Ming in the future afraid will restrain himself a little.
On this matter, Noble Consort Su also reprimanded him a few words, yet never considered, towards Luo Jing Ying, she herself also had her treated as a plaything. Although she didn’t despise or disdain, it was still disinterest and indifference. At this ti, it was also nothing more than giving advice in hindsight. What kind of person her own son was like, would she not know? If she wanted to care, she would’ve long taken charge of this matter.
Asking, if others were to know, towards girls that have worth, Rui Qinwang both coaxed and deceived, and once losing that worth, just thoroughly spurned, this kind of cold-blooded and fickle person, as long as it’s soone that cares about the young ladies in their family, who would have the person given to him? To put it broadly, towards those that were willing to assist him, was it also this sa attitude? Then, who would dare to assist him?
Noble Consort Su softly called out to Jing Wan twice. No response. Anger flashed through her eyes, “…………..Jin Wangfei!”
Jing Wan, like as if getting startled, returned to her senses, “Apologies consort mother, this daughter-in-law was lost in thought.”
“This child, what exactly is wrong?”
Jing Wan smiled, yet it was a bit forced, “In the maiden ho, there’s a younger sister that bumped her head, very serious. The doctor said, her hope of surviving is uncertain. Last night, while dreaming, it was all her again and again in one’s dreams. She said she was scared of the dark, scared of loneliness, not wanting to just leave like this. She wanted to let the person she once liked the most accompany her. This daughter-in-law asked her who the person she liked the most was, but she wouldn’t say, seemingly as if spinning in circles the entire night. In the end, she finally said, she will personally go find that person.”
Noble Consort Su’s complexion was a bit dark, but ultimately cald herself.
On the inside, Jing Wan was actually quite curious as to what she was thinking of.
Speaking of which, it seems the people of Qi Yuan were also quite superstitious, how about using this to one’s advantage?
Noble Consort Su knew, this matter can’t be pried open. These sluts loitering in her place, how was it not for wanting to see her joke? How could she let them get what they want? “Yesterday, Jin Qinwang Manor held a banquet, how was it?”
“Quite good.”
“This consort heard, you gave away so female entertainers to those sister-in-laws of yours?”
“En, rather than being amused alone, it’s better for everyone to be amused.”
