Be A Virtuous Wife! So Tough!

C195 – You Can’t Live with Your Own Sins

Late in the night, three black shadows leaped over the walls of the palace and disappeared quickly into the vast palace.

“How is it? What did you find?” In the emperor’s bedroom, King of South Jin was sitting on the bed in his coat, staring at the three men in black kneeling on the ground.

The man in black didn’t say anything. The one in the middle took out a small box from his chest and handed it over.

King of South Jin did not expect to find something. He opened the box and saw it. He was furious and gritted his teeth.

“Good! Good! This is my good son. He actually dared to have dealings with the North Yue King and even tried to collude with him to scheme for the country!… Haha! I have really helped the North Yue raise my son for twenty years for nothing!”

King of South Jin smashed the box onto the ground. A pure gold plate fell out and smashed on the floor with a dull sound.

With a gloomy face, he ordered, “Go and bring that bastard into the palace. Remember, don’t let anyone find out!”

The three men in black replied. They stood up and flew out of the window, leaving behind only the breeze.

King of South Jin’s face turned blue. He stared at the gold medal for a long time. When he saw the familiar mark on it, he sneered. “What a wishful thinking!”

Although it was his first time seeing this gold medal, he knew it belonged to the North Yue. The mark on it belonged to the North Yue King. It must have been given to Wang Zixian by the North Yue King.

But why did the ruler of the enemy country give a gold medal to his son? King of South Jin could easily guess what was going on. It was nothing more than the two of them conspiring in secret.

Wang Zixian was already a prince. What he could scheme for was naturally this great empire.

He did not know what kind of agreement this bastard had made with the North Yue King. He could not tolerate it!

Wang Zixian was quickly brought in. He wore only a pair of underpants without any crotch. He was brought in naked by the black clothed man.

He was already scared out of his wits. He thought that someone sent an assassin to kill him. He did not expect that the assassin did not take his life. Instead, he brought him out of the prince’s residence.

When he was brought to this familiar place, he already guessed the identity of these three men in black.

The only people who could come and go freely in Gong City were probably the dark forces that Royal Father secretly cultivated.

He knew who wanted to see him. Wang Zixian couldn’t help but start to guess the reason. It was definitely not a small matter for Royal Father to secretly capture him and bring him to the palace in the middle of the night.

Could it be that… Wang Zixian recalled the recent events and also guessed some things. He was so scared that his entire body turned cold and his blood froze.

If that incident was really discovered, he would not be able to chop off ten heads.

The moment Wang Zixian saw King of South Jin, he immediately rushed forward with snot and tears. He hugged King of South Jin’s leg and cried, “Royal Father, just tell me when you want to see me. Why are you so scary? This son was almost scared to death.

King of South Jin snorted and kicked him away. “How dare you! How could you be scared to death by such a small scene?”

“Father! Why did Royal Father say that?” Wang Zixian looked at him in confusion.

King of South Jin did not beat around the bush with him. He kicked the gold medal in front of him. “Take a look for yourself. What is this?”

“This…” Wang Zixian’s heart was in turmoil and his heart was pounding violently. However, he still pretended to not know what was going on. He looked at the gold medal twice. He shook his head and said, “This son has never seen this thing before, but the mark on it seems to belong to the North Yue King.”

As a prince, it would be abnormal if he did not have such common sense. Wang Zixian still had the ability to deal with it.

“Haha, you said you haven’t seen it before?” King of South Jin stood up and walked in front of him. He looked down at him. “Ah Da, tell him where you found it.”

The one called Ah Da was the man in black who was kneeling in the middle. He lowered his head and answered, “King, it’s in the secret compartment of Third Prince’s study. The secret compartment is under the desk, under the tenth floor tile from left to right.”

He said it in detail. No matter how calm Wang Zixian was, he could not help but change his expression. However, it was only for a moment. He regained his composure and righteously refuted, “Royal Father, you must trust this son. This son has never seen this thing before. That secret compartment is not very secret. Usually, there are only some books and keys. This son… this son does not know about it.”

“Oh? You mean to say that this son of yours has never seen this thing before. That secret compartment is not very secretive. It only keeps books and keys. This son… this son of mine really does not know! Someone framed you?”

Wang Zixian nodded. “That must be the case. Otherwise, why would Royal Father search my son’s house?”

Wang Zixian thought that no one else knew about this. Even if someone saw that he had dealings with Envoy of North Yue, it would not prove that they were plotting something.

“Heh, that’s because Xue Aiqing found the things in your mansion in the burned post house. You are quite generous. You can just give away the things that I gave you. You really don’t forget that you have the bloodline of North Yue in your body.”

“Things? What is it?” Wang Zixian was stunned.

“You still want to argue?” King of South Jin was not that easy to fool. This matter was too obvious from the beginning to the end. There was no doubt about it.

King of South Jin had thought of someone trying to frame him, but when he saw the gold medal, he rejected it. This thing was real. Who else would have it other than North Yue?

Who would have thought that they would make a fake gold medal and hide it in the secret compartment of Third Brother’s study room? Who could take out those gifts from his mansion and give them to Envoy of North Yue?

In the entire South Jin, except for the secret guards under his command, only the Crown Prince Palace had the ability to do so. But would the Crown Prince do such a thing?

King of South Jin did not believe that Crown Prince Zhao would spend so much effort to frame Third Brother. He did not know what kind of character that son had.

“Royal Father, I am innocent. I have met Envoy of North Yue and given him gifts, but… They did not give it to my son. You must know it!”

Wang Zixian only had one thought in his mind. “I can’t admit it. If he did not admit it, King of South Jin would not be 100% sure. If he admitted it, he would die for sure.”

“Then why don’t you tell me how you are innocent?”

“It’s the Crown Prince! It must be the Crown Prince! Previously… this son had plotted against Crown Princess. The Crown Prince will definitely take revenge when he finds out! Royal Father, this son knows his mistake. I should not have thought of going against Crown Princess, but… this son hates me…”

Wang Zixian told King of South Jin everything about how he framed Tang Yue, including how he did it. He only hid some embarrassing parts to prove that the hatred between him and the Crown Prince did exist.

This was the first time King of South Jin had heard about the truth of this matter. The news about Crown Princess going to Su Ying Pavilion had spread like wildfire. Of course, he had heard about it, but as a man, it was not that he could not understand what had happened.

Wang Zixu would still be jealous in the brothel, so it was not strange for Tang Yue to go to a brothel.

He wanted to punish those two in a few days, but he heard about it before he even started fighting. His impression of his third brother was immediately changed.

“You… you really are capable!” King of South Jin kicked his chest and said hatefully, “With just this one sentence, you are unforgivable!”

“Royal Father, I know I was wrong. I just lost my mind for a moment. This son will go up to Crown Princess and ask for forgiveness now!” Wang Zixian kowtowed and said.

“You are dreaming! Trying to use this little sin to take the blame?” King of South Jin waved his hand. “Put him in the Cold Palace and let me watch him… and the one in the harem, put him in the Cold Palace too!”

When Wang Zixian heard this, he knew that there was no hope of explaining. He was stunned and let the man in black drag him away. He did not understand why the hope that had just risen had fallen into despair before it even started.

This must be… Someone must be harming him! It must be the Crown Prince! It must be him!

Wang Zixian’s eyes were filled with hatred. He smiled bitterly and swore in his heart, One day, I will make that couple pay the price!

King of South Jin sat on the ground. The gold medal at his feet shone brightly and pierced his eyes.

He threw the gold medal out and took a deep breath. “What a… a bunch of disappointing things!”

The next morning, the officials were surprised to find that their monarch was in a daze and had been in a daze for the entire morning.

It was not until nearly noon when everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs that King of South Jin came back to his senses.

However, his first sentence was also the only one. “Crown Prince, chase Envoy of North Yue out of Ye City. They have stayed in South Jin long enough.”

“…” The officials were in an uproar. What was wrong with their king? Were they not planning to negotiate?

Immediately, a minister stepped forward to mediate, “King, this is a matter of peace in the world. It’s best to bear with it when it’s time to bear with it.”

Even though they all disliked Envoy of North Yue, they never thought of chasing them away.

Even the prime minister stood out and said, “King, it’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge ten years ago. At this moment, it’s not good to act on impulse!”

King of South Jin smashed a box down. Without a word, he turned around and walked down from his throne and out of the hall.

The officials quickly knelt down and cheered. Crown Prince Zhao got up and picked up the box. He glanced at the things inside and frowned. A cold smile appeared on his face.

A group of important officials gathered around. They all gasped when they saw the items in the box. “This…”

When this thing appeared in the hall, they felt that something incredible had happened.

Crown Prince Zhao closed the box and strode out of the hall. The prime minister chased after him and whispered, “Your Highness, do you think this matter is settled?”

“Yes! Why not?” Crown Prince Zhao said without turning his head. “I’ve been waiting for this day for too long.”

“But this negotiation…” They did not want to start another war. What would they do if the peace talks were lost?

Crown Prince Zhao stopped and turned back to look at him. “Minister Ye, it is time for South Jin to make a request. Master, go and prepare.”

Prime Minister Ye’s eyes lit up and his beard shook, “Yes, this official knows what to do.” Finally, it was their turn to take the initiative to attack. Good!

After Crown Prince Zhao left the palace, he brought his men to where Envoy of North Yue was staying. With a wave of his hand, a fierce guard rushed in with a knife. Very quickly, he escorted the people of the emissary delegation out.

“What are you guys doing?… How dare you, have you turned the tables…”

Crown Prince Zhao nodded. “Throw them out of the city and watch them leave South Jin.”

“Yes!” The guards answered in unison. Their energy soared to the sky and instantly suppressed Envoy of North Yue, who was shouting at the top of his lungs.

“Crown Prince Zhao, what do you mean? Don’t tell me that South Jin doesn’t want to negotiate anymore?” An emissary shouted.

The other immediately followed and questioned, “South Jin still owes us a life. Could it be that they don’t want to punish the murderer and just want to send us off? When will the North Yue allow you to bully us like this?”

“Crown Prince Zhao, let me give you a word of advice. Think twice before doing anything. Otherwise, the consequences are not something you can bear.”

Crown Prince Zhao looked at them coldly. He took out something from his pocket and smashed it on the head of one of the envoys. He said in a deep voice, “Then I will wait here and take him away.”

The envoys were all stunned when they saw the gold medal on the ground. This was a secret, and not everyone in the diplomat group knew about it. When they saw the token that belonged to the king, they were all at a loss.

But after all, there were still those who knew about it. When they saw this thing appear, how could they not understand what had happened?

They silently cursed Wang Zixian in their hearts. They hated that he couldn’t even protect this token, and hated that he was too useless. He was actually found out in a few days. No wonder he couldn’t beat Crown Prince Zhao.

Things had already come to this. Now that things had come to this, how could they have any reason to stay in South Jin? All of them were driven out of the Ye City with ashen expressions.

In the end, Crown Prince Zhao did not go too far. He asked them to bring their luggage and even gave them a carriage. He had the intention of telling them to get out of here as soon as possible.

The commotion was too great. The people of Ye City heard the news very quickly. They rushed to the street one by one and watched the group of envoys leave.

“What happened? Why did Crown Prince chase Envoy of North Yue away?”

“No peace talks? Is there going to be another war?”

“Wuwu… My poor child has just returned home. Could it be that he is going to war again?”

“Shut up, even if the war is going to start, His Highness will definitely win. It must be that the conditions proposed by those envoys are too harsh.”

The civilians discussed animatedly. The vast majority of them agreed with the peace talks. They really wanted a peaceful and stable living environment.

As Envoy of North Yue left, Crown Prince Zhao asked someone to post a notice to roughly explain the reason for Envoy of North Yue’s departure. He emphasized that the peace talks would continue, but in another way, the Imperial Court would take the initiative to complete this matter.

Once the notice was out, everyone’s hearts finally calmed down. As long as South Jin had the intention of peace talks, they would not be able to care whether the envoy left or not.

Furthermore, the Imperial Court had said that the envoys were doing whatever they wanted in South Jin’s territory. It was not good for the peace of the Imperial Court to stir up trouble. It was better for them to leave.

As for the real reason behind this, not many people knew it.

However, Wang Zixian’s disappearance still caused a huge commotion. In the end, King of South Jin suppressed the matter with one hand and calmed the courtiers.

This time, everyone was even more shocked. A good prince had gone missing, but the king did not allow them to look for him. There was something fishy about this.

Some smart people thought of the gold medal and immediately felt enlightened. They secretly cursed in their hearts, ‘It’s really the fault of one’s own actions.’
