Chapter 112: Powerful Officials Struggle
When Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng heard Weng Ruoyun respond to his words and saw how calm she was, he did not doubt that she was not Weng Yan's legitimate daughter.
Weng Ruoyun didn't dare to argue any further. At this moment, the thought of running away popped into her mind, and she pointed at He Lingling angrily.
"Where is the imperial physician? I have a stomachache. The legitimate prince in my belly must have known about it. Today, the wife of Marquis Xijin insulted the unborn legitimate prince. Someone, come and call the imperial physician!"
Weng Ruoyun covered her abdomen, pointed at He Lingling, and fell on the maid, completely unconscious.
The palace maid was so frightened that she shouted loudly: "Someone, call the imperial physician!"
"The Imperial Master has finally achieved his wish today. He and the son of the Left Prime Minister have conspired to murder the heir to the throne. Today is the wedding of the Emperor and Empress. Do you want to turn a happy event into a funeral?"
Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng took advantage of the situation and pointed at Dongfang Li and questioned him angrily.
Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng hated Dongfang Li and seduced his legitimate daughter Liu Jinyue, which led to his eldest legitimate daughter hanging herself in the palace gate!
As soon as Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng said this, Chief Assistant Zhang Huai spoke with a grin.
"Prime Minister, why do you have to bother with your son-in-law? It seems that the Imperial Master is your future son-in-law?"
The Prime Minister Zhang Huai was enjoying the fun and angered Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng with just a few words.
Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng looked at Dongfang Li with a tone full of disdain.
"A Taoist priest who spreads lies to confuse the people is worthy of my legitimate daughter. That evil girl is self-aware and feels that she has brought disgrace to her family. She hanged herself in the palace. What's wrong with that?"
When Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng heard what Prime Minister Zhang Huai said, he felt ashamed and disappointed, and thought his legitimate daughter deserved to die!
"Liu Xiancheng, you forced your own daughter to death, do you still have any conscience?"
When he heard that Liu Xiancheng had forced his legitimate daughter Liu Jinyue to death, he actually felt that it was a disgrace to the family!
Dongfang Li clenched his fists in anger, his eyes reddened as he pointed at Liu Xiancheng angrily, "Does he still have a conscience?"
"Stop quarreling. I am marrying off my daughter today. Are you going to pick up the bride for His Majesty or quarrel with the Emperor and Empress today?"
Weng Yan felt that if the quarrel continued, Weng Ruoyun might not be able to enter the palace, and the matter of her replacement marriage could not be delayed any longer.
"Someone, come and help the young lady back to her boudoir."
Weng Yan was even more worried that on the day of the Emperor and Empress' wedding, Weng Ruoyun would be angry and his entire clan would be implicated, so he hurriedly asked the maid to help her back.
"My lady, I will help you back to your boudoir. You are pregnant with the crown prince, so you should be careful. If something goes wrong, the king will blame you and you won't be able to explain yourself."
The maidservant in the provincial government was so frightened by today's scene that her voice trembled.
When the maid heard Weng Yan's instructions, she hurriedly persuaded Weng Ruoyun to return to her boudoir first.
"What happened? Something must have happened when I marry my daughter today, right?"
When Weng Yan heard the maid speak, he was so angry that he yelled, "Will the maid speak?"
"My lord, this servant deserves death!"
The maids in the provincial government rarely saw Weng Yan lose his temper, and when they heard him angrily scolding them, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground to apologize!
Weng Ruoyun pretended to be upset and saw that Weng Yan also got angry.
Weng Ruoyun couldn't pretend anymore and shouted angrily.
"Kneel down before me, Your Majesty, will you come today? Will you stop until someone dies today?"
"Queen, calm down!"
Seeing that Empress Weng Ruoyun was angry, relatives who were attending the wedding banquet from inside and outside the provincial government.
Maids, palace maids, eunuchs, yamen runners, imperial guards, court officials, royal relatives, princes and generals all knelt on the ground, begging her to calm down!
"She is not the legitimate daughter of the provincial government at all. I am the legitimate daughter of the provincial government. Dad, I am back. My daughter is having a hard time out there. Dad... Dad..."
Weng Ruoyun had just made the imperial guards, maids, palace maids, royal relatives, and court officials in the provincial government kneel on the ground.
Suddenly, a person wearing a red wedding dress, a phoenix crown on her head, and gorgeous red makeup, Weng Yan's legitimate daughter, Weng Ruoyun, ran in from outside the provincial government.
It seems that when Weng Ruoyun, the legitimate daughter of Weng Yan, cries, everything in the world will wither!
Looking from afar at Weng Yan's legitimate daughter, Weng Ruoyun, a beauty with teardrop mole on her face, stunning beauty, and skin as white as snow, a whole country is eager to get her.
Weng Ruoyun, the legitimate daughter of Weng Yan, had a dazzling makeup, picturesque eyebrows, and looked pretty. She was about six feet tall.
But when Weng Yan's daughter came closer, no matter how delicate her makeup was, it couldn't cover up her sallow, thin cheeks!
Weng Ruoyun, the legitimate daughter of Weng Yan, was wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, but when you look closely, you can see the ugly scar on her face!
Weng Yan's legitimate daughter, Weng Ruoyun, was as delicate as a pear blossom in the rain. She threw herself into Weng Yan's arms and cried loudly.
"Ruo? Ruoyun, as the current queen, you don't care about those who break into the provincial government without rules? What kind of woman dares to call the current father-in-law "father"? "
In a rage, Weng Yan almost recognized his poor legitimate daughter, Weng Ruoyun!
The relatively calm Weng Yan collected his confused thoughts and hurriedly pushed away his eldest daughter Weng Ruoyun in his arms.
Weng Yan angrily scolded Weng Ruoyun, why didn't you care about anything?
"Ah? Me? Father...you are so outrageous! How dare this ugly wild girl to cause a scene at my wedding banquet? She should be dragged out and given eighty strokes of the cane. No, fifty strokes of the cane. No, drag her down and slap her in the face. Whoever brought her here will be dismissed from office and exiled!"
The sudden appearance of the real legitimate daughter Weng Ruoyun, I don't know if it scared anyone, but Weng Ruoyun was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat!
Weng Ruoyun thought that this was a real bummer!
Weng Yan's legitimate daughter, Weng Ruoyun, deliberately caused trouble at the wedding banquet today and even wore a phoenix coronet and bridal robe.
Weng Ruoyun was so frightened that she couldn't stand still. She was worried that if Weng Yan recognized his legitimate daughter Weng Ruoyun, she would be beheaded!
When Weng Ruoyun saw Weng Yan pointing at her angrily, she was so frightened that she could no longer stand and reached out to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead!
Weng Ruoyun was confused but forced to calm down, so he angrily gave the order!
"Queen, please calm down. I remember that this ugly woman was a servant in the fire room of Marquis Xijin. It is said that Marquis Xijin got your Majesty drunk on the night of your wedding and used the servant to defile your Majesty's innocence. Is this clearly an enemy of the Queen?"
Taifu Zheng Guoan impeached Xijin Marquis An Shaoyun in public.
"Marquis Xijin allowed a maid to tarnish your majesty's reputation. He should be killed immediately and his entire clan should be exterminated to shock your majesty!"
When he saw Weng Yan's legitimate daughter Weng Ruoyun, Taifu Zheng Guoan was the first to recognize her and explained to Weng Ruoyun why she had to be killed.
This gave Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng, who had just believed that Dongfang Li of the Imperial Master's Mansion was in cahoots with Xijin Marquis' Mansion, an opportunity to instigate Weng Ruoyun to kill the nine clans of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Your Highness, you can't do that. I am the Left Prime Minister An Huairen, and Marquis Xijin is my eldest son. If you want to kill all nine members of the An family, you must find out the truth and don't listen to the nonsense of the treacherous minister Liu Xiancheng!"
As soon as he heard that Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng was going to instigate Queen Weng Ruoyun to kill the nine clans of the An family.
An Huairen, the left prime minister who always disliked meddlesome things, hurriedly knelt down and advised Weng Ruoyun to find out the truth before making a conclusion.
"Oh? A mere Prime Minister Zuo taught his daughter-in-law to offend the emperor's first wife, and taught his son to let a maidservant defame the emperor's reputation? Is this the family tradition of Prime Minister Zuo?"
After hearing the report from Grand Tutor Zheng Guoan and what Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng said, Weng Ruoyun realized that she had misunderstood Qin Yan!
When Weng Ruoyun heard the explanation of the Left Prime Minister An Huairen, he asked him if this was the An family tradition?
"Empress, the Xijin Marquis's Mansion was the first to deceive the emperor. They deserve death for the crime of deceiving the emperor. It would not be excessive to execute all nine generations of their clan."
Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng decided to use the imperial power to kill the court officials who had connections with the Imperial Master's Office.
He is a royal relative, and Prime Minister Liu Xiancheng dare not impeach him. What is there to be afraid of as he is just the Left Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister?
