WFWC Chapter 55

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 55: Concubine Qin’s Affair Revealed

 

In a flash, the two groups started fighting, and Lord Ji pulled over the Crown prince who was still in shock.

 

“Don’t worry, Crown Prince. It’s General Chen Changnian who is here.”

 

At this moment, the Crown prince was so shocked that he couldn’t control himself. He didn’t know whether Ji Xiaoshan was preparing for a rainy day or making a careful plan.

 

At this moment, he felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly he couldn’t understand Ji Xiaoshan.

 

The black-clad assassins who had arrived with such great momentum earlier were unable to withstand two moves from Chen Changnian’s iron-blooded tactics and were all killed by his sword.

 

Facts have proved that no matter how powerful the death squad is, it cannot defeat the experienced soldiers. Moreover, Chen Changnian led the elite troops who followed General Ji into battle.

 

“I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Highness, please forgive me.” Chen Changnian and the soldiers behind him knelt on the ground to plead guilty, their words powerful and sonorous.

 

The Crown prince knew that this group of people were well prepared.

 

Looking back to the past, Chen Changnian was just a small centurion who followed Ji Xiaoshan in battles all year round. Now he is also a general guarding a place.

 

Thinking of this, his eyes turned slightly.

 

“General Ji, tell me, what is going on?” The Crown prince’s face seemed calm, but his heart was actually in turmoil.

 

Ji Xiaoshan certainly knew that the seed of doubt in his heart had sprouted. He had to pull that seed out today.

 

Ji Xiaoshan said solemnly in a deep voice: “Crown Prince, why don’t you think about it? There are thousands of people in Jizhou, and they are under the defense of General Chen brought by this general. Only the two elders Yin and Yang succeeded in creating trouble. Isn’t this a slap in the face of this general? If there is no one to mediate, I will never believe it. The Crown prince also saw the assassination today, so I am just preparing for a rainy day.”

 

“Crown Prince, why don’t you think again before you doubt my intentions? If I really had bad intentions, I wouldn’t have handed the evidence I found to you. I could have handed it to the Second Prince or the Third Prince. After all, what the Emperor truly values is strength.” He emphasized the word “Third Prince”.

 

Then he glared at the Crown prince. If he couldn’t even figure this out, then his Ji family would have to choose another prince.

 

After a moment, the Crown prince’s expression softened, and it was obvious that he had figured out the key.

 

“I admire General Ji’s benevolence.” After saying this, he was about to bow down, but was helped up by Ji Xiaoshan.

 

He smiled cheerfully and said, “It’s good that the Crown Prince can figure this out. I guess the Crown Prince has already made up his mind. I am waiting for the Crown Prince’s good news.”

 

“I will definitely live up to the general’s expectations.” The two smiled at each other.

 

Ji Xiaoshan was an undefeated god of war, highly respected, and it was understandable that he was worshiped by the Crown prince. However, he did not want to give others a reason to criticize him.

 

For the next three days, Chen Changnian personally escorted them, but he only sent them to Linjing County, because the garrison general was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned.

 

Before leaving, Chen Changnian bowed deeply to Ji Xiaoshan, his nose sour: “Master, I don’t know when I will see you again. Take care.”

 

It turns out that Chen Changnian is not only a subordinate, but also Ji Xiaoshan’s apprentice.

 

All the elite soldiers looked at Ji Xiaoshan eagerly.

 

Ji Xiaoshan also found it difficult to control himself, “For many years, your duty is to protect the safety of the people of Jizhou. Don’t forget your original intention.”

 

“And you too.” Ji Xiaoshan patted the soldiers on the shoulders one by one, his eyes slightly red.

 

“Got it, Master. I’m taking my leave.” Chen Changnian said in a muffled voice. For fear that Ji Xiaoshan would see the tears in his eyes, he jumped on his horse, whipped the horse and rode away without looking back.

 

“I will definitely live up to your expectations, General. Take care.” Chen Changnian whipped his horse and left, and the rest of the soldiers also mounted their horses in an orderly manner.

 

Ji Xiaoshan nodded to them, suppressing the pain of separation in his heart. He said silently: “Take care!”

 

“Gee—” Everyone rode away.

 

The only sound in the air was the tail end of the soldiers’ conversation:

 

“Did General Chen cry?”

 

“No, maybe the wind and sand blinded his eyes.”

 

“Okay, let’s go back quickly. We still have to protect the general’s wife back to Shengjing.” In their hearts, Lord Ji is not just a marquis, but the eternally undefeated general.

 

Chen Changnian is only 22 years old this year, and has no father or mother. After Ji Xiaoshan took him in, he treated him as his closest family member. Whenever he missed him, he would stand on the top of the city wall and look towards Shengjing City.

 

Recalling the glorious days when soldiers fought on the battlefield.

 

That afternoon, the Crown Prince and Lord Ji hurried back to Shengjing and entered the palace to meet the Emperor. The first thing he said was, “Father, please dismiss the attendants.” Upon hearing this, Emperor Yu knew that this matter was not simple.

 

In the dark room of Yuehua Palace, Lone Wolf stood aside respectfully. At that time, he had already reported that Concubine Qin had secretly sent assassins to intercept the Crown prince halfway.

 

He secretly glanced at the Third Prince, whose expression was unrecognizable, and suddenly had the illusion that Concubine Qin was also part of his plan.

 

Concubine Qin wanted to kill the Crown prince with her sword this time, but she failed.

 

After a long while, Bei Hengyuan’s weak voice was heard: “From today on, I will not take the antidote.”

 

Hearing this, the Lone Wolf’s expression suddenly changed. “But, Master…”

 

“Do as I say.” Bei Hengyuan’s breath was cold, and there was an incomprehensible shadow in his eyes.

 

At this time, the conversation between the palace servant and the personal attendant of the Third Prince of Yuehua Palace could be heard from outside: “Xunzi, is the Third Prince not here?”

 

Xiao Xunzi replied: “He’s not here. Maybe he went to the Imperial Garden to relax.”

 

“Well, when you come back later, tell them that the Imperial Concubine is not feeling well and wants to see the Third Prince.”

 

“Okay, Brother Wen, walk slowly.”

 

Lone Wolf lowered his eyes, knowing that Concubine Qin was not ill, but was angry because she failed to kill the Crown prince. If you dare to act on your own, you must bear the consequences.

 

I have to say that Concubine Qin is hopelessly stupid. I’m afraid the master will be seriously injured this time.

 

In the end, the Third prince did not go to see Concubine Qin.

 

His body became weaker than before. In Concubine Qin’s opinion, he was angry with her.

 

The Crown prince went to Fengyi Palace in the dark and had a long conversation with the queen until early morning.

 

In the next two days, Concubine Qin went in and out of the Imperial Study and Fengyi Palace in a mysterious manner. She was anxious and uneasy because she could not get accurate information.

 

On the evening of the second day, a palace attendant came hurriedly to report: “Not good, Imperial Concubine, the Emperor is leading the Imperial Guards towards Jinhua Palace.”

 

“What?” Concubine Qin sat up in shock, her heart pounding like thunder.

 

Did he discover something?

 

Before she could come up with a plan, Eunuch De shouted loudly outside: “The Emperor has arrived!”

 

Concubine Qin’s face changed drastically, and she knelt on the ground trembling, “My Emperor…”

 

“Qin Wan, how dare you?” Before Concubine Qin could finish her words, she was kicked in the chest with anger, and she spit out blood immediately.

 

“Come here, tie up this woman, and summon Scholar Qin to the palace to see the emperor.” The emperor was furious, and corpses were scattered all over the place.

 

“Your Majesty, could you please tell me what I have done wrong? So that I can…” Before she could finish her words, she was met with another furious kick from Emperor Yu.

 

“Are these three charges of colluding with foreign enemies, harming the people of Jizhou, and planning to kill the future crown prince enough?” Emperor Yu was furious.

 

Concubine Qin widened her eyes and screamed, “Impossible, Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have lived in the palace for a long time and would never dare to do such a heinous thing. Please, Your Majesty, please understand.”

 

After being kicked twice, Concubine Qin’s internal organs were injured, but she still wanted to stand up and defend herself.

 

As a result, Emperor Yu did not even look at her again, waved his robe and left, and what was waiting for her was the rope that would take her life into the hands of the imperial guards.

 

When being tied up, it can’t be considered compassionate, it can be said to be rude.

 

Concubine Qin was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted.

 

When she woke up again, she was already in the imperial study, with her elder brother Qin Gen, the scholar, kneeling on her right, and her elderly father Qin, kneeling on her left.

 

Standing on both sides were the Queen, the Crown Prince, Lord Ji, and Prime Minister Lu who were listening to the trial.

 

At the top, Emperor Yu’s face was terribly gloomy, and there was a hint of cruelty between his brows, which Concubine Qin had never seen before.

 

Her heart trembled violently.

 

The Qin family was unaware of this matter, so why did they call her father and eldest brother?
