Chapter 328 The abstinent first assistant of the noble noble VS the abandoned wife of the East Palac
When the prince suddenly saw that the old emperor was dead, his heart began to beat wildly and he panicked.
But when he thought that he was now the crown prince above millions of people and the new emperor tomorrow, that bit of panic was immediately suppressed.
He swallowed and hurriedly wiped the blood off the dagger on the bed sheet. With his heart pounding, he put the dagger in his arms, then reached out his hand and wanted to cover the old emperor's bulging eyes.
The prince closed the old emperor's eyelids with his hands, but as soon as his hands left, the eyelids that were supposed to be closed by his hands suddenly opened again.
The prince, who had something to hide, screamed in fear and fell to the ground.
He looked at the emperor in doubt and uncertainty, his face pale. After a long while, he climbed up tremblingly and carefully placed his fingers under the emperor's nose.
Although he was sure that the old emperor had indeed passed away, the prince could not help but break out in a sweat when he met the old emperor's bulging eyes that were filled with anger and anger.
His legs felt weak and he felt as if his father had turned into a ghost and was standing next to him, ready to tear him to pieces.
Finally, he could no longer resist the fear in his heart, and with his teeth chattering and screaming, he fled out of the inner hall of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity using both hands and feet in panic.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation returned to deathly silence once again, with only the occasional sound of water dripping from the old emperor's dragon couch onto the jade tiles.
Wen Yuzhi walked out from behind the heavy curtains, looked at the prince's back as he fled in panic, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
"Go and clean up."
The dark guard Jiao, like a silent shadow, appeared silently upon hearing the words and went to erase all traces of the prince's regicide.
Wen Yuzhi did not wait for the secret guards to reef, but went straight out of the Yangxin Palace and chased in the direction of the uneasy prince.
He deliberately walked around in front of the prince and pretended to meet him by chance.
"Prince?"
Wen Yuzhi started calling for help, as he was afraid that if he didn't speak up, the panicked prince would immediately bump into him.
The prince was startled again, like a frightened bird. But when he saw Wen Yu, the elegant and graceful woman standing in front of him, his panicked heart eased a little.
But what made him even more angry was meeting Wen Yuzhi at such an embarrassing moment.
However, when he thought about the fact that someone would find out that his father had been assassinated, he would be the most powerful person in the palace and could decide the life and death of others at will.
When he looked at Wen Yu again, there was more contempt and malice in his eyes.
Wen Yuzhi was able to gain a position at a young age under the extremely suspicious old emperor.
In the minds of all the old ministers in the court, that was a fox that took a thousand years to cultivate.
Wen Yuzhi has never suffered any loss in his career in the court, so how could he not see the prince's shallow mind?
His cold eyes fell on the hem of the prince's robe, his long eyebrows slightly frowned, and he asked, "Why is there blood on the prince's clothes?"
These words hit the prince's forehead like a hammer, and his head was buzzing.
His eyes suddenly became flustered. How could he look like a villain who had gained power and was very proud of himself?
"Yes, yes, my hand was injured just now and I accidentally rubbed it." The prince's explanation was full of loopholes.
Wen Yuzhi nodded, and did not expose the prince's lies, and even helped the prince cover up the fact of regicide.
This is because if the prince is charged with regicide, Qu Xinyue, who is now the prince's consort, will also be in trouble.
Not to mention whether the baby in Xinyue's belly can legitimately become the little emperor.
Thinking of Qu Xinyue's determination to support the child to sit in that supreme position, Wen Yuzhi smiled helplessly in his heart.
He nodded in agreement with the prince's words and said, "Your Highness is of noble status, so you should be more careful." After a pause, he asked again.
"Why is the prince here alone so late at night? Isn't he accompanied by a few palace servants?"
The prince, who thought he had gotten away with it, was so sweaty when he heard this.
Not knowing how to answer, the prince suddenly had an idea. He suddenly felt that he was smart and quickly avoided the question with a rhetorical question.
"What about the Prime Minister? Why hasn't he left the palace yet so late?"
Wen Yuzhi smiled faintly.
"I have been entrusted with an important task by the Emperor, so I certainly dare not slack off. The reason I am still here so late is because I want to pay my respects to the Emperor and discuss some state affairs with him."
When the prince heard that Wen Yuzhi was going to the Yangxin Palace at this time, he was almost scared to death.
He raised his voice in excitement: "Don't go!"
Seeing Wen Wo Yuzhi didn't say anything, I realized that I had overreacted just now.
The prince quickly changed his attitude.
"Well, isn't it too late? Father should have gone to bed. It would be bad for you to disturb him now. You should come tomorrow."
Wen Yuzhi was not really going to see the old emperor now, but he just wanted to scare the prince, so as to prevent the prince from thinking that he was the boss and he was second only to him and becoming too arrogant.
He stepped back a few steps, bowed to the prince, and said, "Since the emperor has gone to bed, I will come to visit you again tomorrow."
Only after watching Wen Yuzhi leave did the prince's legs go limp and he sat on the ground wiping his sweat.
Qu Xinyue was sleeping half-heartedly in the middle of the night. She felt the mattress beside her sag slightly, and the familiar scent of cold ink surrounded her.
She turned lazily and snuggled into the broad chest filled with the scent of Leng Mo, rubbing against it as usual. Her voice sounded a little hoarse due to sleep.
"Why is it so late today?"
The baby is about to be born soon, and Wen Yuzhi is even more nervous than she is. He takes care of her personally at night and never leaves her side.
The warm big hands gently stroked Qu Xinyue's bulging belly, and there was a tenderness in her eyes.
Before he had children, he didn't have any thoughts, and even thought it was pretty good to live with Qu Xinyue.
But as Qu Xinyue's belly swelled day by day like a balloon, this feeling became subtle.
He just thought, what if the child born by Qu Xinyue looks exactly like Qu Xinyue?
A delicate and exquisite, smaller version of Yueyue.
When Wen Yuzhi thought of this possibility, he felt his heart melt.
He is now even looking forward to the arrival of Milk Ball.
When the time comes, he must be a good father and a good husband and take good care of them.
"Did the child bother you today?" He kissed Qu Xinyue's thick hair and asked in a low voice.
Qu Xinyue shook her head and unceremoniously put her legs on Wen Yuzhi's thighs.
Wen Yuzhi hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Every time he saw Qu Xinyue flirting with him unconsciously, he suddenly felt helpless.
He placed his hands on Qu Xinyue's calves, kneading them gently, and answered the question Qu Xinyue had just asked in a low voice.
"The emperor collapsed."
Qu Xinyue, who was enjoying the massage from Wen Yuzhi, was so surprised when she heard what he said that she suddenly stood up, her fair and tender face with traces of sleep on it full of disbelief.
When Wen Yuzhi saw Qu Xinyue's agile movements just now, Prime Minister Wen, who usually remained calm in the face of disasters, turned pale with fright.
He called Qu Xinyue "little ancestor" all the time and carefully checked whether she was stretched or felt any discomfort.
When he saw Qu Xinyue with an innocent look on her face and blinking her watery eyes, he suddenly became furious, but he couldn't bear to scold her sincerely.
He had no choice but to move very carefully and hold the precious person in his arms, fearing that the next words would scare the person and make him jump again.
"The prince killed him."
Wen Yuzhi was still frightened when he saw Qu Xinyue almost being held down, and thought to himself that he had foresight...
