Emperor Wen Hui stifled his anger. Ever since he ascended to the throne, he had dealt with numerous troublesome matters but there was not once that made one feel so aggrieved. There was no one who dared to be so rude and presumptuous to him!
For the first time in his life, Emperor Wen Hui started to regret that he should not have concentrated his military power to deal with the aristocratic families. If Ming Qi had a few more valiant generals like Shen Xin, would they not need to be so submissive in front of the Great Liang?
But how could there be medicine for regret in this world?
When Prince Rui saw that he did not reply, he smiled and stood up, "This Prince understands." He made a move to leave.
"Wait!" Emperor Wen Hui called out to him.
Prince Rui stood still and smiled, "Your Majesty must have thought it through. As the ruler of a country, one's words carry enormous weight."
"Since Ming Qi and the Great Liang are on good terms, Zhen naturally also have the beauty of helping others." Emperor Wen Hui's smile was uglier than crying as he said, "If the Young Lady of the Shen family were to marry to Prince Rui, it would be the fortune of the Young Lady of the Shen family and Zhen would be happy to see it happen. Don't worry, I will draft an edict today, and in a few days, I will announce it. "He squatted for a while, and with great difficulty, spat out a few words from his mouth," About the city … "
"Just take it as a gift to His Majesty." Lord Rui smiled and left in a good mood.
After Prince Rui left, Emperor Wen Hui collapsed on the chair and beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead but his face was flushed red.
Anger, shame, humiliation, and resentment interweaved on his face. However, he was powerless to change this.
This was perhaps the most embarrassing thing in the world. He was the ruler of a country, the chosen one, but he had no choice but to admit his helplessness.
Eunuch Gao, who was standing at the side, didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing the emperor being forced into such a state with his own eyes, it was only natural for a servant to be frightened.
"Bring Zhen's pen and paper over." Emperor Wen Hui suddenly said after a moment.
Eunuch Gao hurriedly agreed.
Emperor Wen Hui's gaze was heavy. Even though Prince Rui said that the matter of the city would not be mentioned for the time being, it was a temporary stability that was exchanged with the Shen family's marriage. No one knew how long the stability would last. The most important thing was that after Shen Miao married to Prince Rui, even though Shen Xin was still a Ming Qi person, Emperor Wen Hui no longer dared to trust Shen Xin.
Even though he suppressed Shen Xin previously, it was because he was afraid that Shen Xin's meritorious service would overshadow the Emperor, but the Formidable Great General had been loyal for generations and Emperor Wen Hui believed in Shen Xin's loyalty. But his daughter was in the Great Liang and if the Great Liang used Shen Miao as leverage to threaten Shen Xin, who knew what kind of things Shen Xin would do.
Shen Xin, this chess piece was crippled and Ming Qi's situation would be even more difficult. In order to guard against the Great Liang, Ming Qi must quickly restore the alliance relationship with the Qin country. With both countries working together, they would be able to contend against the Great Liang.
The Qin country was still angry at the Ming Qi because of HuangFu Hao and Princess Ming An, so the Ming Qi must show sincerity.
The Crown Prince must die.
Emperor Wen Hui closed his eyes.
…
Out of everyone's expectations, Emperor Wen Hui's letter of conviction to the Crown Prince came so quickly and urgently that no one had time to think clearly. The Crown Prince committed suicide in prison.
Whether it was suicide or not, a discerning person could see it, but it was to preserve the Crown Prince's reputation. One could not let the dignified Crown Prince end up like a prisoner in the marketplace and be beheaded in front of everyone. Moreover it was because of the crime of assassinating another country's Crown Prince, one fear that the prestige of the Ming Qi's Imperial family would be lost the next day.
The commoners were always easy to fool but the officials were well versed in this. Who would know if the Crown Prince committed suicide or not? The Imperial family always liked to find a good reason for themselves, even if they were dirty.
When the news of the Crown Prince's suicide was spread, the Empress seemed to have made a ruckus before falling seriously ill and did not step out of the Kun Ning Palace to recuperate.
