Wei Ziyao was right. Ki Chien-chul sighed with emotion.
"I finally know why the Empress only treats Fourth Prince well and ignores Fifth Prince all these years. It turns out …"
Speaking of this, Qi Qianche also couldn't understand, "Logically speaking, Imperial Father is better than the Retired Emperor in every aspect. Why does the Empress have to love a son who shouldn't see the light of day?"
"You don't understand. Everyone knows that the Emperor is better than the Retired Emperor in every way. But in the Empress' eyes, Fourth Prince isn't the Emperor's son at all! He's the Emperor's younger brother! He's the Retired Emperor's son! "
Ki Chien-chul understood after hearing Wei Ziyao's words.
In other words, the Empress was unwilling.
She wasn't satisfied with the status quo. Fourth Prince didn't need to fight his way out of the encirclement of the other princes. He needed to be above them and become the Emperor.
"If that's the case, when the Empress realizes that Fourth Prince is just an abandoned son, she won't let it go so easily. What if she has a backup plan …"
"That's right." Wei Ziyao nodded. "The Retired Emperor's matter is to guard against her backup plan. It's fine if she's safe. If she wants to court death, I don't mind sending her on her way!"
Wei Ziyao wasn't in a hurry to expose her.
First, Fourth Prince was still useful. He still needed to be his shield. If he was really exposed, he might not even be able to be a shield.
Second, the Emperor … Although he was a little paranoid sometimes, he was still a good person. Wei Ziyao didn't know how to tell him that he was a cuckold. So, it was better to keep it a secret first.
After going back and forth to Qing Ming Temple for five days, there were only a few days left before the Crown Prince's wedding.
Wei Mingyue was seriously injured. She had almost recovered.
But now she was facing a problem.
Wei Heng didn't allow Wei Mingyue to get married through the main gate. It was said that this matter had already reached the court.
The officials in the court all had their own opinions. Of course, there were more people on the Crown Prince's side.
Wei Heng was still confident, "Since ancient times, only the first wife's daughter can marry out from the main gate. Even if Wei Mingyue marries the crown prince, it doesn't change the fact that she is a concubine's daughter. What's wrong with marrying out from the back gate?"
"What's wrong?" A civil official stood up to reprimand Wei Heng. "Both of them are your daughters. Although there is a difference between di and shu, Wei Shuai is too biased. He doesn't care about the Crown Princess at all. This is the behavior of an irresponsible person. Since he wants to show that he respects his wife and dotes on his di daughter, why did he take a concubine in the first place? Why did he have a child? How should this be put in the words of the common folk? That's right, isn't this what it means to be a whore and to have a chastity? "
"You!" Wei Heng was a military official, so his mouth was naturally not as venomous as a civil official's. He simply couldn't outtalk the other party.
"Commander Wei, are you unable to refute my words because I've hit a sore spot? The Crown Princess didn't use her status to ask you to make her mother your wife. She also didn't make any unreasonable requests. She just wants to marry out from the main gate. Isn't this a little too harsh? "
This person was on the Crown Prince's side. He had made Wei Heng speechless.
Fortunately … Chu Lilan spoke at this time.
"Lord Feng, you don't have to be so overbearing. Wei Shuai is right. Since ancient times, daughters of concubines have always been married out from the back gate. This is just following the rules. There are no problems like you said."
"Rules?" Official Feng clearly didn't expect that Chu Lilan, the Crown Prince's uncle, would actually help Marshal Wei instead of helping the Crown Prince.
"There are rules, but it also depends on who is marrying. Isn't the Crown Prince's status enough to break the rules?"
After Lord Feng said this, the rest of the people on the Crown Prince's side didn't dare to speak.
At this time, a cold snort came from the main gate. "Ah, I heard this lord's meaning. You want to change the rules of the Northern Qin State for the Crown Prince?"
Who would have thought that Wei Ziyao would make such a grand entrance in the middle of the morning court session?
Why was she here?
"Oh, why aren't you speaking, Lord Feng?" Wei Ziyao looked at him with a smile.
