Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 499.1: Seizing the Opportunity, Journey to the Northwest



Chapter 499.1: Seizing the Opportunity, Journey to the Northwest

Le Cheng Emperor’s complexion instantly just darkened, and the palace servant that was still thinking of framing Jing Wan just now further went limp in the legs.

Back then, when Xian Consort Wei was still Princess Yining, she’d clearly stated that she’d taken a fancy to Jin Qinwang, yet in the end, through ‘a series of accidents’, got slept by Le Cheng Emperor. Because Li Hong Yuan didn’t care in the slightest from the start, never having Princess Yining taken seriously, towards his son, Le Cheng Emperor actually didn’t have any doubts, but towards Xian Consort Wei, it wasn’t necessarily the same. Although he might not have said anything, but for any man, when clearly knowing that one’s woman had another man in her heart, certainly all won’t be pleased.

Regardless of whether it was redirecting his anger, or Jing Wan exposing the truth that already existed, Le Cheng Emperor’s gaze towards her was a bit cold.

Jing Wan however was unconcerned, her expression and mannerism natural, not getting affected by Le Cheng Emperor. She’d merely just set foot through the door, yet something immediately was wrong with Xian Consort, so could it even be blamed on her?

Even if Jing Wan didn’t say, with Xian Consort Wei not meeting anyone, yet just happening to meet with Jing Wan, anyone would all have thoughts. When time comes, don’t know what kind of rumors will appear.

Le Cheng Emperor felt a headache coming again, “Old six’s wife has heart. Right now, Yihe Palace is a mess. Why don’t you go back first, and properly take care of Yuan’er.”

“Yes, this daughter-in-law understands. Don’t worry imperial father, wangye right now is still pretty good.” Jing Wan somewhat meaningfully said.

Le Cheng Emperor’s thoughts stirred, “Last time when he entered the palace, he had a bit of a disagreement with the Noble Consort. After going back that day, what was his situation like?”

Jing Wan furrowed her brows, “There wasn’t anything particular, just his mood wasn’t too good. This daughter-in-law had asked, but he wouldn’t say, sorrowfully drinking quite a bit of wine alone. Afterwards, he just deeply slept, and after waking, although he didn’t drink anymore, he was still relatively down. Afterwards, all the way until the start of the Imperial Noble Consort’s ceremonial affairs did he finally recover gradually. On the surface, unable to make out anything, but this daughter-in-law keep feeling that wangye is seemingly looking for things to do, attempting to busy himself. As you know, he’s used to being idle, so doing this, don’t know whether it’s good or bad.”

Le Cheng Emperor’s brows also furrowed along with, “Why don’t you urge him a little, when one should rest, let him properly rest.”

“This is within this daughter-in-law’s duties to begin with.”

“This emperor knows you’re a good one. Right now, this emperor isn’t asking for anything else, just asking for you all to be well.”

“Don’t worry father-in-law.” Jing Wan promised with her mouth, but silently cursed inside. Right now, they indeed were all well, just in the future, afraid you will be unwell.

“Alright, why don’t you go back.”

“Yes, this daughter-in-law will take one’s leave.” Jing Wan curtsied, retreating out.

Le Cheng Emperor relaxed expression instantly became dark again, coldly looking at the palace servant that had attempted to have the blame pushed onto Jing Wan just now, “Drag out and beaten to death.”

“Your Majesty, your Majesty, have mercy, your Highness Xian Consort……….”

Before the following words could even come out, their mouth already got stuffed. Regardless of what their original goal was, in any case, at this time, saying something that shouldn’t be said, one will just have to pay a disastrous price for this. Even if Xian Consort Wei is pregnant with an imperial offspring, and even if afterwards, give birth to an imperial prince, it was also just that, absolutely having no chance of ascending the throne. That’s why, she won’t from then on just rise with the tides. How Xian Consort Wei will be in the future, it really was hard to say. In a certain sense, it seemingly can only depend on Le Cheng Emperor’s mood.

Former Wei right now was struggling with internal strife, the princes madly fighting for the throne, and at present, the situation was much more serious than Qi Yuan currently. Even the Emperor of Former Wei was about to lose control of the situation. The surrounding countries more or less all know about the situation. That’s why, who still had the energy to care about how Xian Consort Wei was currently. Even if she were to die at this time, it probably was also just that.

Speaking of which, while Qi Yuan was rejoicing over the fact that Former Wei won’t take the opportunity to attack at this time, how was Former Wei also not rejoicing over Qi Yuan getting tangled in war with Xiongnu.

Jing Wan neither quickly nor slowly exited the palace. Towards the looks from the people in the surrounding, she also didn’t care in the slightest. As for the things those people thought of on their own, sigh, the imagination has always been a bottomless pit, having many shapes and colors. Some things might anger one to the point of vomiting blood, while some things might make one laugh to death.

Jing Wan returned to Jin Qinwang Manor. In any case, she knew that a certain someone won’t voluntarily ask, so she just had what she learned from Shu Consort Qin relayed to Li Hong Yuan. Li Hong Yuan just casually responded, not having anymore excessive reactions, seemingly as if it didn’t have anything to do with him.

Jing Wan expressed she was a bit displeased, reaching out to tug his cheeks, “That’s your birth mother. She used herself as the price to let you come back. You being like this, is it really okay?”

“Then, what does Wan Wan want this husband to do?” Li Hong Yuan grasped Jing Wan’s hand, “Wan Wan, between her and I, we have never spent a day together, so towards her, there’s no feelings to speak of. You have to know, precisely because knowing that she’d let me return, letting me be able to relieve my regrets, thus there’s everything today. Else, even if knowing that she still exist in the mortal realm, I still won’t do anything. All my feelings have already been used up on you, unable to divide out anymore for others. I believe that everything that can be done, I’ve already done. As for what kind of consequences it will cause, that completely isn’t within my scope of consideration.”

Getting thrown sweet words from time to time, aside from tightly holding him, Jing Wan really didn’t know what else to say. Everything else, there was no need to say.

“In the future, no matter what, I will shoulder together with you.”

Jing Wan felt, having this kind of man wholeheartedly treating her, she can do anything for him. Right now, she perhaps will because of some innocent people dying, produce some negative feelings, but one day, if she needs to kill for him, then Jing Wan felt that she probably won’t hesitate either.

“Naturally.” Li Hong Yuan held Jing Wan, his scheming side still coming up from time to time. It can’t be helped, he just wanted to let Wan Wan be closer to him.

Just, things still met with troubles, and not that smooth as expected. The eighty-one days of ritual, at present, only a little less than half had carried out.

At first, Li Hong Yuan and them didn’t know, only learning after Grandmaster Liao Chen pointed out. Jing Wan once again rushed into the palace. Seeing Shu Consort Qin, she finally realized that things were indeed a bit troublesome.

Shu Consort Qin was originally a peaceful and quiet woman, but looking at her now, she seemed to give others a kind of sinister feeling. Of course, this kind of feeling, if it’s just the people by her side everyday, they won’t be able to detect, but for the people who didn’t see her often, having the original her compared with the current her, the difference was quite obvious. “Your Highness, how long has this situation appeared for? Why didn’t you send someone to tell us?”

Shu Consort Qin did get affected on the surface, but the ceremonial ritual was targeted at the Imperial Noble Consort’s spirit and soul after all. That’s why, the influence towards Shu Consort Qin wasn’t that big.

“It’s not that this consort didn’t want to say, it’s……..” Shu Consort Qin was a bit helpless, “The situation right now isn’t good, seemingly very unwell. Originally, it was just like a lump of white fog, but now, the four limbs are all dyed black. This consort isn’t sure, if completely dyed black, what will happen. Is it disappearing, or this consort’s current state limitlessly intensifying. Regardless of which, it’s all very difficult for one to accept. However, this consort can more or less understand her thoughts. Probably, it’s not letting the second situation appear.”

Jing Wan understood. The Imperial Noble Consort, for the sake of her son, didn’t even hesitate to sacrifice her soul, so how could she allow unknown dangers occur.

“Your Highness, we will find the cause and think of a way……………..don’t do anything stupid.”

Shu Consort Qin nodded, “Don’t worry, for the time being, there won’t be any problems.”

For this kind of situation to appear, one of the reasons was that the people ‘praying’ harbored evil thoughts. Additionally, it was just a problem occurring among the high monks presiding over the ritual. The other party’s skill perhaps was far inferior to Grandmaster Liao Chen, but the sages in this world weren’t just limited to Grandmaster Liao Chen alone.

“Can grandmaster tell which locations have problems?” Li Hong Yuan, on the surface, still didn’t have any emotion, but it didn’t mean that he will just easily let off the people causing trouble behind the scenes. It’s best if they don’t get caught by him, else……….

“Roughly can deduce two directions, the south and the northwest.”
