Chapter 395 The Real Princess Has a Gossip System (3)
But after a short while, the guards all returned.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess said she didn't need anyone to monitor her, and then she beat up all of us subordinates," the head of the secret guards said, kneeling on the ground.
"You mean you, the leader of the secret guards, can't defeat the Seventh Princess!"
"The Seventh Princess is very powerful." The leader of the secret guards was already prepared to accept punishment.
After pondering for a moment, Nangong Sheng decided not to send anyone over for the time being. Instead, he would go over every few days to maintain the relationship and see if he could hear anything useful.
As for Wangyou killing a steward of the Imperial Household Department during the day, that's no big deal.
Wangyou returned to Zhaoyang Palace and had a wonderful sleep.
The delicious breakfast the next day made her even happier.
Not long after breakfast, the head eunuch next to Nangong Sheng came over with a string of rewards.
"This cheap father isn't bad at all. Let's go see what he's doing." Wangyou glanced at the rare treasures, then waved for the palace maids to register them. She then ran straight to the Taiji Hall.
Upon arriving at the Taiji Hall, she found her mentally challenged brother kneeling at the entrance, seemingly doing nothing.
[Little melon, is he pleading for that fake? The people in the palace are so inefficient; that fake hasn't even been kicked out yet.]
[She was stopped by the Empress, and then she even thought of giving all her belongings from childhood to that fake one.]
"Are you satisfied now? Let me tell you, even if you drive Jiaojiao away, I will not acknowledge you." Nangong Zhizhan shouted as he looked at Wangyou approaching.
"Thanks for the invitation. I'm a beautiful and kind-hearted woman, so please don't associate with me. I'm afraid you'll influence me," Wangyou said, glaring at Nangong Zhizhan.
"You shrew."
With a "bang," Nangong Zhizhan was kicked ten meters away by Wangyou. "If you keep babbling, I'll cut off your tongue. Why did you have to be a cricket of all people?"
[Host, shouldn't the saying be "Why be a dog of all things?" instead of a cricket?]
[He doesn't even dare compare himself to a dog. Dogs are so cute! You've reminded me, I'm going to get a mastiff to guard the house and bite anyone I don't like.]
"Your Highness, please come with me. The Emperor is inside discussing matters with his ministers and will be back in a while," Eunuch Han said with a smile.
"Thank you for your trouble." Wangyou followed behind Eunuch Han into the side hall.
[Little melon, may I see Grandpa Han's melon?]
[Okay, host, unlocked.]
Having read through Han Gonggong's biography at a glance, I found it quite poignant.
This eunuch Han was a rare and loyal servant, and surprisingly, he was also a master of the imperial guards. On the day the city fell, he fought to the death, ultimately dying from being pierced by a hail of arrows.
However, he actually had a younger brother outside, but this brother was no good. He used the name of Eunuch Han to bully men and women, oppress the villagers, lend money at exorbitant interest rates, and even participate in selling official positions. Ten heads wouldn't be enough to punish him.
Han Gonggong felt a jolt of fear, while the emperor and two ministers who were listening intently inside were also ashamed.
After Han Gonggong calmed down and forgot his worries, he hurriedly went to the emperor to apologize, but the emperor immediately sent people to investigate.
[Little melon, quickly show me who those two ministers are!]
[Okay, host, unlocked.]
[Tsk tsk, this Minister of War, Xiang Yuan, is a complete scumbag. His first wife died in childbirth, leaving behind seven children. Even a sow couldn't produce that many offspring.]
[Host, that's not all. This Minister of War rose to power because of his wife. When the enemy army was at the city gates, it was he who opened the gates.]
[A traitor, but it's not surprising. There are few honest officials in this court, and even fewer capable ones. My cheap father, the emperor, couldn't possibly kill them all.]
[This empire was a mess when it came to your father. It was only through his bravery that he fought his way out. If he had lived longer, the empire wouldn't have fallen so easily.]
I almost forgot, my father died young. It seems he was poisoned to death by the mentally challenged empress. Never mind, let's look at the Minister of War's matter first.
This man's second wife was the daughter of the scholar next door. This scholar's daughter must be mentally ill, marrying a divorced man and becoming a stepmother to seven children.
This woman's life was destined to be one of toil after marrying into this family. She had to serve her in-laws, take care of seven children, and earn money to support the family. Meanwhile, this man went to join the army just three days after their wedding and even ran off with his wife's dowry. What kind of disgusting man is he?
Moreover, he was gone for ten years without a single letter. Ten years later, he achieved great success, while the scholar's daughter was already on her deathbed. She died the day the news arrived. It was truly a case of getting promoted and making a fortune only to lose one's wife!
The third wife was even more interesting; she was actually a widowed princess. However, although the Minister of War was nearly fifty, he was quite well-preserved!
However, this widowed princess was not actually a princess of the Yu Dynasty, but a spy from an enemy state. The Minister of War was turned by this widowed princess, who ultimately opened the city gates, leading to the downfall of the Yu Dynasty.
[Host, why aren't you reacting at all?]
What kind of reaction do I want?
This is the country that gave you birth and raised you, aren't you going to do anything about it?
"You're quite right. The royal family is immoral, but what have the common people done? Why don't I start a rebellion?"
Forget it, being an emperor is no human being. You get up earlier than the rooster and go to bed later than the dog; even a dog wouldn't be fit for that.
[Host, what I mean is, you could try cooperating with your tyrannical father!]
【Let's take it slow, no rush. Anyway, it'll be at least five years. At worst, when that mentally challenged empress tries to poison Father Emperor, I'll just detoxify him. I am, after all, a little poison master.】
Nangong Sheng, who was listening intently outside, was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder. The Minister of War was arrested on the spot, and to hear that it was his own wife who had poisoned him, Nangong Sheng felt a wave of sorrow.
Nangong Sheng was unhappy, and so were others. He ordered Nangong Jiaojiao to be expelled from the palace, forbidding her from taking any of the palace's valuables. He even removed her surname, which made the heartbroken empress weep.
The Empress stormed off to the Taiji Hall in a rage.
"Your Majesty, Jiaojiao is my daughter whom I raised with love. She is more than my own daughter. You are tearing my heart out! How can you be so cruel!" The Empress accused Nangong Sheng and roared.
"Your Majesty, how dare you!"
"Did this fiend say something? I'll kill you!" The Empress was furious when she saw Wangyou behind the screen.
[The mentally challenged empress looks like she's been bewitched; her body has become a vessel for the worms. Fine, I'll spare her a beating for the sake of her raising these worms, lest she die young and there's no show to watch.]
Wangyou dodged the Empress's attack and even complained to the system, while the Empress, upon hearing that she had been bewitched, seemed to have had her pause button pressed.
A smile crept onto Wangyou's lips. Isn't destroying someone's spirit more fun than killing them?
