WFWC Chapter 57

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 57: And They Started Fighting In Front Of Emperor Yu

 

Yuehua Palace.

 

Bei Hengyuan lay on the bed, barely breathing. It looked like if he was dying. A large group of palace servants were standing guard outside the door, all of them silent.

 

Outside, Lone wolf came hurriedly and whispered in Bei Hengyuan’s ear: “Third Prince, the queen confessed!” The lone wolf’s face was gray.

 

After hearing this, Bei Hengyuan was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, “Time is up, carry me over!”

 

At the moment, he could only rely on that little bit of life-saving help to find a way for Concubine Qin to survive.

 

It has only been five days since he guessed that the Crown prince had secretly returned to the capital. It is impossible to rush back to the capital in five days. It can only be said that the Crown prince left earlier than he expected.

 

During this period, he did not receive any news from Bai Ji, the secret guards, or Aunt Xu, so he knew that something big had happened.

 

Even if the Crown prince didn’t have any evidence, he had a guess. Concubine Qin’s action of sending assassins to rob and kill him directly confirmed the Crown prince’s guess. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Concubine Qin was defeated.

 

At this time, Concubine Xian was crying bitterly in the imperial study.

 

“Your Majesty, Concubine Qin lied. I did not conspire with her about the Jizhou incident. I was completely unaware of it, and Sheng’er was even less aware of it.”

 

The Second Prince knelt trembling.

 

Just now, Concubine Qin confessed everything. The person she gave away was not the Third Prince Bei Hengyuan but the Second Prince Bei Hengsheng as the Queen had expected.

 

She said: “In order to gain the support of the Qin family, Concubine Xian once promised to give up the position of Queen Mother in the future. This is why I came up with this idea to let the Second Prince make meritorious deeds. Only a prince with a very high reputation can be valued by the Emperor.”

 

She said: “I was deceived by the two Yin and Yang masters. They only said that it would not cause harm to the people’s health. How could they have thought that people would die?”

 

Concubine Qin deeply regretted what she said next.

 

After listening to Concubine Qin’s confession, Lord Ji’s heart began to beat fast. He suddenly had the illusion that Concubine Qin had also been schemed by the Third Prince.

 

But even she knew it, Concubine Qin would be happy with it.

 

If he hadn’t listened to Hua’er’s voice, he would have been deceived by Concubine Qin just like the Queen and the Crown Prince. But at the moment, even if he knew that Concubine Qin was deliberately dragging the Second Prince into the water, he could do nothing because he had no evidence to prove that this matter was related to a sickly Third Prince.

 

Furthermore, the Third Prince was indeed unaware of this incident before.

 

Emperor Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over.

 

Concubine Xian was disheartened when she saw the furious Emperor Yu. If she had known that Concubine Qin was such a vicious person, she would have never made friends with her. She thought she could pave the way for Sheng’er, but she actually took the initiative to do such a heinous crime.

 

“Let me ask you one last question, is Mr. Qin aware of this matter?” The expression on Emperor Yu’s face was terribly sinister.

 

Master Qin and his father knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

 

Concubine Qin knew that her death was unforgivable, but since it was related to the survival of the Qin family, she shook her head like crazy: “They don’t know, my father and brother don’t know, Yuan’er doesn’t know either, it was done by me and the Jiang family”

 

“I know that I have committed a grave sin and I am willing to die. I only ask Your Majesty not to implicate the Qin family and Yuan’er who are unaware of the situation.”

 

Emperor Yu sneered again and again: “Haha, how could the kind-hearted Yuan’er have a vicious woman like you as a mother? You are simply not worthy. Even if the Qin family is unaware of it, considering your heinous crime, you are also guilty of not teaching them properly.”

 

Emperor Yu felt too guilty towards the Third Prince to be easily shaken.

 

Lord Ji sighed secretly, the opponent was too strong and he felt it was a bit difficult to deal with.

 

“Come here, drag Concubine Qin away and execute her immediately. The rest of the people will be executed on a later day. Draft an order!” Emperor Yu slammed the table and stood up.

 

As the ruler of Shengyu Kingdom, he must give an explanation to the people of Jizhou and not let the people down.

 

“No, please revoke your order. The Jiang family is innocent and they really didn’t know about this matter. Please revoke your order! I did say those treasonous words, but I would never dare to hurt the people, Your Majesty. The Jiang family’s crime does not deserve the death penalty. Please show mercy.” Concubine Xian cried very sadly. The Second Prince felt sorry for his mother’s discomfort and hugged her tightly.

 

They knelt on the ground together and said sadly:

 

“Father, I beg you to investigate the Jizhou incident again. Although I am not as good as the crown prince, I also know that the people are the foundation of Sheng Yu. I have always cared about the people. How could I collude with the gangsters to harm the people?”

 

“Yes, Your Majesty, Sheng’er has always loved the people like his own children. How could he harm the people?”

 

“It is impossible for him to harm the people, but you let me be the scapegoat, Concubine Xian, you have such a cruel heart.” Concubine Qin was afraid that Emperor Yu would be persuaded by Concubine Xian’s pitiful appearance.

 

Take another big bite.

 

Concubine Xian was extremely angry. She jumped up and threw herself at CoConcubine Qin biting, hitting, and pulling her hair. “Go to hell, go to hell, you vicious woman, you vicious woman.” The two of them lost their manners in front of the emperor and wrestled with each other in front of him.

 

When Bei Hengyuan arrived, all he heard was the howling of ghosts, screams, and roars all over the room.

 

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with the grayness of a terminally ill man. Then he spoke weakly, “Father, Your Majesty, I, your child, I want to see Your Majesty.”

 

Eunuch De hurried to open the door, and when he saw the third prince being carried away, covered in blood, his face showed sympathy.

 

“Your Majesty, the Third Prince?” The door was half open, and everyone in the room looked at the Third Prince.

 

“Yuan’er, Yuan’er, it was mother who harmed you. It was mother who trusted the wrong person and harmed my Yuan’er!”

 

The Crown Prince and the Queen naturally knew why the Third Prince came, and a hint of worry flashed in their eyes.

 

The emperor felt very sorry for the fact that the third prince had mistakenly drunk the poisoned tea. If the third prince had begged the emperor with this, perhaps Concubine Qin’s life could have been saved.

 

Lord Ji lowered his head and suppressed the hatred in his eyes. It was true that the Third Prince vomited blood and was poisoned. No one could doubt such a dying man.

 

He had no sympathy for the beheading of the Qin and Jiang families. He also had no sympathy for the Jiang family. If the Second Prince had not plotted against the Crown Prince two years ago, Shu’er’s legs would not have been disabled, and he would not have been depressed for two years.

 

Concubine Qin crawled towards Bei Hengyuan, her hair disheveled, looking very embarrassed. Concubine Xian had just hit Concubine Qin so hard that a lot of her hair was pulled out, and a piece of her scalp was also lost, bleeding.

 

At first glance, it was horrible.

 

Lord Ji thought to himself: It’s a pity that his lovely daughter can’t see such a beautiful scene. He will definitely learn to tell her about it vividly like a storyteller.

 

As expected, Emperor Yu felt pity for the Third Prince when he saw his current state. He hurried down the stage and asked, “Yuan’er, what are you doing?”

 

Bei Hengyuan’s face was as pale as a dead person who had been soaked in water for three days and three nights. His eyes were blue and purple.

 

He said in a very weak voice: “Father, I heard that my mother was taken away by the imperial guards. I am very worried. I have been poisoned for six years and am dying. I beg you to let my mother see me off to the last time. Afterwards, if you want to kill me or chop me up, I will not stop you.”

 

Hearing these words, Emperor Yu was indeed moved. With tears in his eyes, streaming down his face, he held Bei Hengyuan’s pale hand and said, “Father, I will answer you.”

 

If Yuan’er hadn’t accidentally drunk the poisoned tea for him, he would be the one suffering now. Whenever he thought of this, his heart would be in unbearable pain. He owed Yuan’er. He couldn’t just watch him suffer. He just wanted to satisfy him as much as possible.

 

Emperor Yu agreed not to kill Concubine Qin for the time being. After calming down, he thought about it carefully. Although his second son sometimes did things without considering the consequences, he was also a person who cared about the people. This incident must have been done by the two vicious women.

 

Thinking of this, Emperor Yu spoke again: “The Qin family failed to educate their daughter properly, causing her to commit a heinous crime. They should be executed. All the men of the Qin family will be headed at the Meridian Gate, and the same goes for the Jiang family. The rest will be confiscated and exiled to an extremely cold place. As for the second prince, he will be temporarily detained in the clan house and await his fate.”

 

Empress Xian wailed and fainted.

 

All the men were beheaded, and the women were exiled to the extremely cold northwest. The sky was high, and the road was long. What difference was there between this and killing them?

 

Hearing that the Second Prince was confined to the Imperial Clan House, Prime Minister Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. During this period, the Second Prince had repeatedly found excuses to come to the Lu Mansion in an attempt to meet his daughter. He knew that the Second Prince had ulterior motives. Fortunately, his daughter was very well behaved and stayed in the room obediently.

 

When the imperial decree came down, the nobles in the capital sighed. The Qin and Jiang families, who were still prosperous yesterday, were raided in the blink of an eye. Who wouldn’t sigh that fate is playing tricks on them?

 

I don’t know what crime you have committed?

 

Rumor has it that the Ji family made great contributions by returning to their hometown to worship their ancestors. Mrs. Ji controlled the spread of the epidemic with just one prescription. The crown prince and the imperial physician Mu sacrificed themselves to save people, working day and night to boil medicine and diagnose illnesses for the people.

 

Madam Ji became a well-deserved miracle doctor, and the Crown prince won a lot of applause.

 

Because the situation had a very bad impact, Emperor Yu did not make it public, so people only knew about the plague.
