Chapter 1117: Satisfying!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After leaving the throne room, Yan Huaijing had mixed feelings.
On the one hand, Yan Jiuchao had done something he couldn’t do. He felt jealous. On the other hand, Assistant Minister Ma was related to the Empress by blood, and Yan Jiuchao was on the same side as the Empress. Wasn’t this indirectly cutting off his wings? It was fine if this matter was exposed to the public by others, then Yan Jiuchao had no choice but to do so because of the pressure from the officials and commoners. But he was the one who dug out the case.
Was he really so unscrupulous? Even if he didn’t forgive Assistant Minister Ma, he should at least inform the Empress in advance before dealing with him and show her some respect, right?
Yet, he had really killed him without a word! No, he had been cut in half!
Yan Jiuchao had done everything that he couldn’t. Although he was jealous to death, Yan Huaijing had to admit that the moment Assistant Minister Ma was cut in half, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
? It was too satisfying!
When Yan Jiuchao got into the carriage, he realized that Yu Wan was already waiting for him inside. Yu Wan looked at him with a smile, her eyes as bright as stars.
“You’re here? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Yu Wan said.
This was the truth. When she left the Fengshai Palace, he had just dealt with the number one criminal, but there were still a few accomplices after Assistant Minister Ma. He had also dealt with them one by one. Yu Wan waited in the carriage, not wanting to fall asleep. She had endured so much.
Yan Jiuchao sat down beside her. He paused and asked, “The Empress called you over?”
Yu Wan pursed her lips. ‘Why can’t it be that I miss you and come to pick you up?
Yan Jiuchao looked at the half-eaten snacks on the table and the few little toys scattered on the ground. “Dabao and the others miss me too?”
Yu Wan:
She had forgotten to pack their things!
The three little eggs and Little Bruiser had already returned to the manor first. Yu Wan had specially waited for him here alone to give him a surprise, but who asked him to be so monstrous and guess everything?
“How big of a crime did the Empress’s people commit?” Yu Wan asked. The Empress fainted from anger when she heard that Lord Ma had been cut in half. She was not in the mood to stay in the Fengshai Palace to take care of her and came out with Little Bruiser and the three little eggs.
Yan Jiuchao told Yu Wan about Assistant Minister Ma and did not deliberately hide anything. He did not tell her when they were on the ship back then because firstly, she was asleep. Secondly, this was not something worth being happy about. However, if she asked, he would not lie.
“So detestable! Well done!” Yu Wan clenched her fat fists.
Ordinary women would definitely not have such a reaction when they heard about this. Of course, this reaction from ordinary husbands when they saw their wives was definitely not Yan Jiuchao’s next reaction.
Yan Jiuchao patted Yu Wan’s little head in satisfaction. “Don’t feel that it’s a pity that you didn’t see it. There’s still one that needs to be dismembered. It’s better than being cut in half. I’ll bring you to see it next time.”
Yu Wan: “Okay!”
Shadow Six, who was outside the carriage:
Shadow Thirteen, who was also outside the carriage: ‘
The matter of Assistant Minister Ma caused a lot of commotion. On the way back to the manor, she could hear the commoners discussing. Some said that Assistant Minister Ma deserved to die, and some scolded Yan Jiuchao as a
tyrant. Yu Wan knew that her husband’s heart was not that fragile, but when she heard him being criticized, she still wanted to jump down and argue with them.
What’s wrong?
A beast like Assistant Minister Ma had harmed countless commoners and innocent girls in Cangzhou. It was pitiful if he was cut in half, but wasn’t it pitiful for those people who had been killed or harmed by him for their entire lives?
So angry!
Yu Wan was so angry that she rubbed Little Gu until it was dizzy. However, when she turned around, she saw that Yan Jiuchao seemed to be enjoying it.
“What… are you happy about?” Yu Wan asked in confusion.
“What did those people call me just now?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
“A… a tyrant.” Yu Wan was afraid of provoking him, so she spoke softly. Yan Jiuchao smiled slightly. “What did they call me in the past?”
Yu Wan cleared her throat. “Little lunatic?”
Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows and said smugly, “Look, I’m finally not little anymore!”
Yu Wan:
Yu Wan’s emotions were disturbed by this fellow’s thoughts a few times, and she forgot to mention to him that Han Jingshu had reminded her to guard against the Empress. She did not suspect why Han Jingshu would know Yan Jiuchao’s actions in advance. This was not difficult to guess.
Yan Jiuchao went to court early. When Han Jingshu entered the palace, the officials who should be arrested had already been arrested. She did not notice the movements in the court, so she did not know. However, it was very likely that Han Jingshu asked about the situation in the throne room the moment she entered the palace.
What she wanted to tell Yan Jiuchao was that Han Jingshu owed her ten thousand taels of gold! However, she was led astray by Yan Jiuchao. She did not think of this until she entered the manor.
At night, the family had dinner at Prince Yan’s place.
Today, Yan Jiuchao caused such a big commotion. It was unknown if Prince Yan would express his opinion. After dinner, Prince Yan really stopped the two of them, but he did not speak for the court. “Xiaobao came back today and said something.”
“What is it?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
Prince Yan paused and said, “Xiaobao said that he saw a eunuch bullying the
Ninth Princess.”
“He still remembers the Ninth Princess?” Yu Wan’s first reaction was that the Ninth Princess and the three little eggs seemed to have only seen each other once. Maybe twice? It had been a year, yet he still remembered?
Yu Wan thought for a while and said, “Speaking of which, I remember that the situation when I saw the Ninth Princess today is indeed different from before. She was a little depressed, but later on, the Empress said that she was sick, so I didn’t think too much about it. Strange, the Empress personally brought the Ninth Princess back to the Fengshai Palace. Why would those palace servants have the guts to bully her?”
“Or perhaps… Xiaobao misunderstood,” Prince Yan said.
The Ninth Princess was the Emperor’s daughter. In terms of bloodline, she was Prince Yan’s niece. However, Prince Yan had never interacted with them, and he never saw most of them either. Naturally, he did not have much feelings for them. However, when he thought of a seven-year-old girl being bullied, Prince Yan felt compassion.
Yan Jiuchao usually would not interfere with the harem’s matters, but since Prince Yan mentioned it, he would pay attention to it.
At night, Yan Jiuchao asked Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six to go to the palace. That night, Yu Wan managed to hold back her sleepiness because she was thinking about the Ninth Princess. She successfully kept her eyes open until the two of them returned.
The two of them flashed into the room and cupped their hands. “Young Master, Young Madam!”
“How is it? Have you seen the Ninth Princess?” Yu Wan asked. Shadow Thirteen’s expression was a little complicated. “…Yes.”
“Did someone really bully her?” Yu Wan asked again.
Shadow Thirteen nodded.
Shadow Six said indignantly, “I really didn’t expect this. Ever since the Emperor was seriously ill, the Ninth Princess lost her favor. After losing her favor, the Ninth Princess has no value in the Empress’s eyes. The Empress doesn’t treat her as well as before. However, what really made her situation worse is something else.”
As Shadow Six spoke, he looked up at Yu Wan. “Young Madam, do you still remember that before we left the Great Zhou, Princess Consort Qing was pregnant?”
“Ah, yes, that’s true. At that time, she wasn’t Princess Consort Qing yet. She was the Eldest Princess Consort.” Yu Wan remembered. Not long after she got married, she had even seen the Eldest Princess Consort once when she entered tne palace to greet tne Empress. sne was a ranunar-100K1ng woman, gentle ana elegant. Unfortunately, she didn’t come from a high background.
Yu Wan did not think that it was a mistake to not come from a good background, but in the eyes of the ambitious Empress, that was probably not the case.
Shadow Six continued, “The Empress originally despised Princess Consort Qing for her low background. If Princess Consort Qing could give birth to a legitimate grandson for the Empress, I’m afraid the Empress would feel better. Unfortunately, she gave birth to a daughter.”
Yu Wan frowned. “What does this have to do with the Ninth Princess?”
Shadow Six said, “It’s said that Princess Consort Qing once came to greet the
Empress when she was pregnant. The Empress smiled and asked the Ninth Princess, which dudou looks good? Red or blue? The Ninth Princess said, ‘Red, red looks good! Sister will look good in it! “‘
The Ninth Princess was Princess Consort Qing’s sister. That child should be her niece. However, she was less than seven years old at that time and could not tell this. She only knew about her brother and sister.
The Empress’s face fell.
A month later, the Eldest Princess Consort really gave birth to a daughter, which made the Empress furious. Didn’t they say that it was very effective for children to see a pregnant woman’s stomach? The Empress felt that the Ninth Princess had jinxed it and made her legitimate grandson gone.
Ever since then, the Empress had hated the Ninth Princess very much.
The servants in the palace were used to acting pragmatically. When the Empress supported her, she was a princess. When the Empress despised her, she was even inferior to a servant!
The pitiful Ninth Princess was bullied by those palace servants at such a young age. Unfortunately, the Emperor was sick too. The Ninth Princess did not even have anyone to reason with. Perhaps even if there was, she would not dare to say it.
After all, she was only a six or seven-year-old child..
