The Imperial Concubine conferring ceremony was grand and solemn. Zi Yuan was wearing the Imperial Noble Consort's court dress as she walked beside the Emperor.
Her aura was definitely more motherly than the Empress.
Rather than calling it the Imperial Noble Consort conferring ceremony, in Wei Ziyao's view, it was more like Wu Zetian's ascension.
Under the solemn scene, the two of them walked up the steps side by side.
The square was very large. It was not an exaggeration to say that one could not see the end of it.
Thousands of people were witnessing the Imperial Concubine conferring ceremony.
But just as the Emperor and Zi Yuan were about to reach the top of the steps and reach the highest point of the square.
An old man with a crooked back walked up step by step tremblingly.
As soon as she came up, Wei Ziyao realized that something was wrong. Many people rushed up to catch the assassin.
But the old woman knelt down on the high platform.
"The heavens have no eyes! The Emperor is muddle-headed! He neglected the virtuous concubines, but he doted on this kind of witch! The heavens have no eyes!! "
As soon as the old nanny said this, Lao Wu, who was running toward her, turned pale. He never thought that things would develop like this and that there would be such an unforeseen event.
He knew that he was in big trouble.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The old woman was still shouting when she was pressed to the ground.
"Dog Emperor, you're blind and your heart is blind. Consort Duan would rather not give birth to a child herself to raise your son for you. Now, you actually don't care about Consort Duan and conferred this woman as Imperial Noble Consort. You …
The old woman did not finish her words, but now all the blame was pointed at Ki Chien-chul.
Everyone looked at him in an instant.
Ki Chien-chul had pretended that he did not know that Consort Duan was not his biological mother.
But after Zi Yuan appeared and started to cause trouble, he was doomed to not be able to pretend.
And they had long thought that this matter would be made public, but they did not expect it to come so soon and in such a formal and solemn occasion.
Now the Emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The originally solemn scene was covered with a layer of haze.
Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look up. They wanted to prove to the Emperor that they didn't hear anything just now. They didn't know anything. They didn't want to be implicated.
Compared to them, Ki Chien-chul and Wei Ziyao were much calmer.
"This old woman used to be my grandfather's concubine. She had been by my grandfather's side since she was young, but she didn't have any feelings for him. After my grandfather married my grandmother, she became the head maidservant to serve him. After that, she married the housekeeper of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. After the wedding, the two of them had been diligently serving the school. Last year, my grandfather saw that the two of them were old, so he bought them a house so that they could enjoy their old age."
The old man beside Prime Minister Wen?
"He's been loyal his entire life and wouldn't do such a thing easily. I'm afraid there's more to it than meets the eye."
That was how it was to fight for the throne.
Once he started, everything around him would become his wife.
The winner takes all. At this moment, everyone had put everything they had on the line.
The process was cruel, but it was unavoidable.
Everyone was pretending to be stupid, and everyone was selectively blind, deaf, and amnesiac.
The Imperial Concubine conferring ceremony was finally over.
After it was over, Wei Ziyao returned to her courtyard to pack her things. It was time to return to the palace.
But she had just returned to her courtyard when the Wei Family members arrived.
"Yao 'er!"
His voice was like a great bell, and it shook Wei Ziyao's chest until her blood surged.
