Chapter 138

Wang Bei and his wife knelt at the gate of their father's courtyard, waiting for their father to call them in. But they had been kneeling for an hour but they didn't let go.

"Everyone blames you, your kind mother defeats your son!" Mr. Wang shouted at his wife.

"What does it have to do with me? I didn't make him disrespect the emperor." Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart. Don't you know what kind of virtue your own son is, you actually blame others.

"He has always listened to you very much. Do you dare say that you didn't indulge him?" Wang Bei felt that although his son was not a legitimate son, he was smart and would not be too bad even because of his background. As a result, he has become like this now.

"Okay, don't just blame me, think about how to beg my father for a while."

"My father doesn't want to see us now, how can I ask?"

Mrs. Wang was disgusted, but she still advised softly, "My father will definitely take care of it. It is related to the status and dignity of the Wang family."

The butler finally appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Wang Bei and his wife both saw hope, but they heard the butler say, "Master, the prime minister let you in."

Wang Bei showed confusion on his face, looked at Mrs. Wang, stood up and followed the housekeeper in. Mrs. Wang stood up and went back to her yard when they entered.

Wang Mang kept looking at his door, waiting for his son to come. He had a glorious life, and had no political rivals in the court, but had suffered repeated setbacks in the marriage of his children.

First, the youngest daughter Wang Yan, the queen he trained, just liked the son of his rival Su Xin. The eldest daughter Wang Wan wanted to replace her sister to enter the palace, but after entering the palace, she was not favored and had a false thought. In the end, she communicated with her younger uncle Prince Rong and wanted to fight for power. In the end, she was her only son. Wang Bei's wife was chosen by him personally and was also the daughter of the big family. She thought she could become a virtuous assistant to the manuscript, but who knew...

Wang Bei walked in and was surprised to find that his father looked in a bad mood and seemed to have grown a lot all night long. He knelt down respectfully and did not dare to speak.

Wang Mang stared at Wang Bei's head for a while. To protect the Wang family and Qiao Qiao, he could only use this method.

Wang Bei knelt for a long time, but he didn't wait until his father spoke. He slowly raised his head and looked up and happened to meet his father's eyes. He was so scared that he lowered his head again.

"Mo'er, get up and sit down."

"Thank you father."

"How do you plan to solve this problem."

"Father, he did make a little messy routine, but he was definitely instructed by a traitor that day, so he didn't have the courage to hit the emperor."

"What if he didn't know that it was the emperor at that time? Forget it, it's already happened, don't shirk it. If you really want to analyze the reasons, it's better to think about who your children have become like this."

"...Father, although she is jealous, she has worked hard for our Wang family for so many years. Not to mention Qiaoqiao, she also loves my concubine's son. If it weren't for the fact that those two were really poor in qualifications, she would have adopted them to her name."

"I thought so at first, but as one of the children in the Wang family was in trouble, I can't doubt it. Your children, except Qiaoqiao, have died, and the two left behind are sweet-mouthed and very favored by your wife. But, think about it, how has she helped your sons? Now that there is another accident, there is only the last one left, don't you worry that our Wang family is really invincible?"

Wang Bei was a little anxious. He knew that his wife had a strong temper and had a strong desire to control, but that was just because she loved him too much. "She would not hurt the child. When something happened to my child, she cried so sadly. When those concubines had an accident, she would...she..." Wang Bei couldn't continue to say anything, and he suddenly realized that he actually didn't know his wife at all.

"I know you can't accept it for a while, but this is all true. I discovered some clues at the beginning, but I can't let my father-in-law deal with my daughter-in-law. Besides, you have always been a fool. I intervened too much, but it made us father and son have a rift. Alas, fortunately Qiaoqiao is not like her mother, she is more like you."

"Father...then now..."

"You will hand over the memorial tomorrow, crying that you have no way to teach your children and are willing to bear all your sins. No matter how the emperor deals with his children, there will be no complaints, and you are willing to atone for your children and are willing to accept all punishments."

"But my father, this will really kill him. He not only disrespected the emperor that day, but also to the Empress Qing Concubine..."

"It is because of Qing Concubine that we have to do this. Have you ever thought about Qiaoqiao? Did you want Qiaoqiao to be buried with our entire Wang family for this matter?"

Wang Bei asked in shock, "How could it be so serious? Father, you are the prime minister of the dynasty, above ten thousand people."

"Your sister has seen it, but you still live in the glory of the past and can't get out. Nowadays, the youngest emperor is the least afraid of trouble. Moreover, no matter how glorious you were before, once you lose, you will be doomed. If you want the Wang family to continue to survive, just do what I said, give up that child. If you give up on him, you still have Wang Qi."

"But Wang Qi was born with a disability, he..."

"He just has poor legs and feet. At least with him, the Wang family will have a back."

Wang Bei knew that it was really irreversible. He suddenly thought of something, "Qi'er didn't find any abnormality when she was born, but when she was two or three years old, she fell seriously ill, and then she found that something was wrong with her retreat. Could it be..."

"Is it the king's family who should be the queen? Bei'er, after all, what do you plan to deal with your wife?"

"I want to leave her and let her practice and recite scriptures for my children to save me!"

"Okay, you go and do it." Wang Mang watched Wang Bei leave angrily, sighing silently in his heart. He was soft-hearted.

"Zhao Ye, what should I do now?"

"Hey, I was in power at the beginning, and I never understood why the late emperor let me go and even indulged him. He just asked me to work hard for him, because he knew that I could not overthrow the world because I had no military power. The late emperor ignored political affairs and needed my existence, but the new emperor wanted to keep his name in history, which was annoying. So, besides killing those two people, I would resign on my own initiative."

"Zhao Ye, if you retire and return home, there will probably be many people targeting you..."

"Am I still afraid of those? Besides, it is not so easy for them to deal with me. As long as the emperor lets me go, others will not be worth mentioning."

"What about the King of Qin?"

"He will worry about Su Qing."

Wang Qiaoqiao was called back by her family. She had just fallen asleep and was woken up. She asked the person along the way what was going on, but she couldn't ask. After arriving at home, she found it was snow-white, and her face was instantly bloodless. She didn't know how she got to the mourning hall.

Zhou Yihao slept in the side hall of the Imperial Study room last night. He woke up this morning and had a simple meal and went to the Imperial Study room again. He didn't need to go to the morning court these days, so he has been much more leisurely.

Xiao Xia came in, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu returned to the Wang family in the middle of the night last night."

"Oh, is there anything wrong?"

"It is said that Mrs. Wang died and was in a critical condition."

Zhou Yihao stopped writing, "I know, you can do what you should do. I understand Shufei's mood and allow her to live in the Wang family. When will she want to come back and when will she come back."

Xiao Xia quickly glanced at Zhou Yihao, then quickly lowered her head, "Yes, the servant obeyed the order."

The little eunuch outside gently pushed the door down, Xiaoxia hurried out and whispered, "What are you looking at? I've hit the emperor, I'm afraid of life!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Xiaoxia, it's the prime minister who asked for a meeting. He has been here for a long time, and I know the emperor's habits. I don't like someone to disturb him at this time, but this..."

"I got it, you go down."

Xiao Xia took a deep breath and walked back into the room, comforting herself while walking that if she could be safe after this incident, she would go to the temple to fulfill her wishes, and she would be boundlessly rich and honored in the future.

"Your Majesty, the king asks for a meeting."

Zhou Yihao put down the memorial he was reading, which was delivered by Wang Bei this morning. Seeing that the emperor was not speaking, Xiaoxia kept lowering his head, looking at his nose and his heart, silently reciting that he did not exist, he did not exist...

"Go and invite."

"Yes." Xiao Xia woke up instantly, and what should come is still coming.

After Wang Xiang entered, Xiao Xia called a few officials and ordered the matter, and sent the eunuchs and guards to announce the imperial edict to Concubine Shu. After doing these things, he waited outside the imperial study room, wondering where Tang Fei was. If he needed the King of Qin in a while, he would have to help him find it.

Xiao Xia thought for a while and saw Wang Xiang coming out. He smiled and greeted Wang Xiang, but the prime minister seemed to have not seen him and walked over in a daze. He felt relieved and didn't need to ask King Qin for help. It seemed that he would not be in danger of his life for the time being.

On the Lantern Festival, Su Qing brought Yiqing to Yunxianglou to invite everyone to dinner. Not only did she invite all the staff at Yunxianglou, all the artists of the entertainment company, but also some teachers from Yunqing Academy. Of course, she also included her friends, Li Xueyan, Li Xueling, Han Lu, Bei Miaomiao, and them.

Mu Qing and Zhou Yihao were impossible to come. Wang Feng did not call him. Except for these three, most familiar people came. This time it was the most sincere blessing from friends, so Su Qing was very happy. Everyone ate and drank together until they finished late.

Because of drinking, Su Qing and Yiqing could not go back to Su Qing's parents' house. The royal mansion was at the innermost point and was a little far away, so they simply lived in a small villa. This was the first time they came to live after getting married.

Yiqing was very excited and ran to the second floor with Su Qing all the way. Before he could do anything, Shi Wei's voice came. He went downstairs to meet Shi Wei with a dark face, and then returned to the second floor, stumbled on his lips, "Su Qing, Wang Xiang has passed away."
