Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 412.4: Consequences

Gong Qinwang’s current appearance truly was very pitiful. From birth until now, he has never once suffered something like this before. In front of the numerous foreign emissaries, in front of the hundred of court officials, in front of all his brothers and sisters, in front of all the imperial consorts, he can be said to have cleanly lost all face. Everything before his eyes started to darken, unknown as to whether it was due to anger or due to getting hit, afterwards, he finally passed out as desired.

Li Hong Yuan came down from the table, dusting off the hem of his gown that didn’t actually get stained with anything, and tidied his cuff, his bearing still calm and tranquil, completely unlike having done something that in others’ eyes can be called shocking just now. “Someone come, prepare another share of antique soup.”

Many people all inwardly inhaled a cold breath. Having done something like this, yet was actually still able to eat?

In the direction of the foreign emissaries, there was a bit of a disturbance.

Li Hong Yuan lightly swept a glance over, “You all, find the play very enjoyable?”

In reality, they indeed felt it was very enjoyable, but strangely, not a single one dared to look directly at Li Hong Yuan. Even people of West Xiongnu, Former Wei, and Southern Qi, these large countries, were all the same, either immediately eating something, or lowering their heads to study the floor, or just turning to talk to someone. Just, this last situation even caused some slightly awkward moments. Between people with no coordination, it was you look towards me, and I look towards him, no one coming face to face, so how was it not incomparably awkward. Even so, they still appeared particularly focused, expressing that they really weren’t watching the play just now.

Speaking from another perspective, the people of Qi Yuan going to another country, and during the emperor’s birthday banquet, first encountering an imperial consort getting poisoned, then witnessing brothers openly ‘quarreling’, would they not be amused? Towards the enemy, the more chaotic their interior, the happier one’s side would be. Perhaps there won’t be any substantial benefit, but one can completely strike the other party psychologically with one’s words and conduct. Regardless of which aspect, winning was still winning, no?

That’s why, the people of Qi Yuan actually can very much understand these emissaries’ current mindset. Originally, they also felt it was exceptionally embarrassing, but with Jin Qinwang stepping out, and each and every one of those emissaries all turning away, not daring to say anything or do anything, this made them strangely feel, even if it was their own side losing face, that was still something others didn’t dare to look at. Just like if the masters of the family were to get into a fight, even if terribly chaotic, the servants still can only pretend to not know anything. That’s right, it was precisely this kind of feeling.

Quite a few people looked to one another, and afterwards, seamlessly shifted their gaze———-Turns out, it wasn’t just them that had this kind of thought.

However, this kind of atmosphere didn’t persist for long. Gong Qinwang’s birth mother, as well as Gong Wangfei, staggeringly reached Gong Qinwang’s side. Gong Wangfei perhaps still hesitated, but Gong Qinwang’s birth mother didn’t mind the stains in the slightest, hugging the unconscious Gong Qinwang, “Someone come, someone come, summon the imperial physician———-”

The imperial physician? About that, the imperial physicians this while seemingly were all gathered in Ganlu Palace, so afraid it wasn’t too possible for them to come over. But, could it be that it was just having the dirtied Gong Qinwang lifted to Ganlu Palace? After slight hesitation, with no other options, it was still just choosing the latter. At worst it was just stripping off Gong Qinwang’s outer robe. After all, the other areas were actually still okay. If not, then it was just using the handkerchief to wipe a little.

After obtaining the uninvolved empress’s order, a few eunuchs along with Gong Qinwang’s personal attendant went froward to help.

Unknown as to whether it was intentional or not, Gong Qinwang’s birth mother, although removed Gong Qinwang’s outer robe, the stains in his hair and on his neck, she didn’t carefully wipe away.

Li Hong Yuan didn’t pay attention, but even if he noticed, he still won’t have any reactions. It was nothing more than wanting to show his old man, properly painting a story, and singing a pitiful tale. Since he’d already beaten and injured, this bit of external factor really was irrelevant. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Once Gong Qinwang got sent away, the palace servants began swiftly cleaning up the floor and Jin Qinwang’s seat. When they were more or less finished, Le Cheng Emperor appeared.

When Le Cheng Emperor saw Li Hong Yuan, he just had a helpless look, rubbing his pulsing temples, “You bastard, how come you just can’t settle down a little.”

When Jin Qinwang had attacked Gong Qinwang, it was obvious that someone had gone to report to Le Cheng Emperor, and nine times out of ten, it was someone sent by the empress. Rather, it wasn’t that the empress was siding with Gong Qinwang, just whenever Li Hong Yuan ‘went crazy’, ordinary people simply weren’t able to restrain him. Although he would also talk back to Le Cheng Emperor, angering Le Cheng Emperor to death, his old man’s words, as the son, he would still listen to majority of the times.

When Le Cheng Emperor came over, he most likely ran into Gong Qinwang’s party. As the mother, a certain imperial concubine certainly must have cried miserably, ruthlessly adding oil and vinegar.

Today, there were too many incidences. For Le Cheng Emperor, there was great joy, great sorrow, and great anger, even having the fear towards death. His body wasn’t considered too well to begin with, so this while, he can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted. Regardless of what Li Hong Yuan had done, he all didn’t want to look into, or rather, he didn’t have the energy to look into. After sitting down, “Old six, settle down a little.”

With just these six simple words, this matter was just over with.

It was over with just like this? Those foreign emissaries were exceptionally flabbergasted. As the emperor, to be partial to such a degree, was it really okay?

It really was okay, just get used to it. For Qi Yuan’s side, for things to have escalated this much, yet Le Cheng Emperor still won’t do anything, they were still that tiny bit surprised, but considering Le Cheng Emperor’s current state, each and every one also just calmed down. Can only say, never mind that Gong Qinwang courted death on his own, he was even deathly unlucky.

The Former Wei fifth prince’s gaze stayed on Li Hong Yuan for a long time. Right now, his feelings were a bit complicated. Towards Li Hong Yuan, he seemingly somewhat admired. For a prince to be able to accomplish such a feat, it truly was impressive. Yet, he also somewhat envied, also having a bit of an indescribable feeling. In Great Wei’s capital city, he was also a tyrant, going on a rampage and having no fear, but when facing the high officials in court, he didn’t dare to do anything, and when facing his imperial father, that was further putting away all the sharp corners on him, not daring to show a disagreeable face. Even if something happened, that was also the crown prince secretly helping him clean up, not daring to report to their imperial father. Where was he anything like Li Hong Yuan, completely unbridled towards everything, not fearing anything at all. As a person, to be able to live like this, even if having a shortened life, one would have not lived in vain.

“Noble Consort, the evening banquet will just end here. The following matters, will leave to you to arrange.” Le Cheng Emperor said after taking a few sips of water.

“Yes, your Majesty.” Noble Consort Su originally still wanted to speak with Li Hong Yuan, but now, it seems it was impossible.

Fortunately, the imperial gardens were already put in order, so there was no need to work too much. Even though the phoenix seal was in Shu Consort Qin’s hand, with Noble Consort Su just assisting, Shu Consort Qin was never someone that monopolized power. For the emperor’s birthday this time, the portion of work that belonged to the inner palace was all decided on after consulting with Noble Consort Su. That’s why, Noble Consort Su was also aware of everything, so won’t lose her footing.

With this many incidences occurring, they actually can disperse already. After all, the majority of people all were no longer in the mood. However, Shu Consort Qin’s incident was still unclear. Once the palace gates opened, if by chance you were to let someone with evil intentions out of the palace, or let someone have certain important evidences taken out of the palace, then the investigation will become even more troublesome.

The accumulated snow in the imperial gardens were already cleanly cleared away. Although it was winter, it didn’t really appear desolate. Adorning with various lanterns, and also many different kinds of ornaments, it appeared exceptionally beautiful, even having the illusion of stepping into the heavenly realm.
