Xiao Yuchen didn't even expect... Wen Jin was really capable.
She really avoided seeing him on the road!
The carriage at Chuihua Gate didn't wait for him at all and rushed straight to the palace gate.
Xiao Yuchen thought he was a step too late, so he hurriedly caught up, whipped his horse, and caught up to see...the carriage was empty!
Wen Jin rode the small carriage starting from the back door, and slowly arrived in front of the palace gate behind him.
There are eunuchs waiting in front of the palace gate.
Xiao Yuchen had no chance to talk to her again.
When the two of them arrived at the door of the Royal Study, they found that the third prince was already kneeling on the white marble floor outside the door.
Seeing the couple coming over, the third prince raised his head and glared at them sadly and angrily.
Xiao Yuchen was stared at inexplicably... He hasn't messed with his third brother recently, has he? His eyelids are cramped, or is his head cramped?
"Kneel down, King Huai!" the eunuch at the entrance of the palace shouted sharply.
Xiao Yuchen was slightly startled.
The eunuch was serious about his words...he would never dare to do this unless his father ordered him to do so.
Although Xiao Yuchen was still a little confused, he still obeyed and knelt down not far from the third prince.
The third prince glanced at him and snorted disdainfully, "Why are you pretending not to be a womanizer? It turns out this is so good! The rabbit isn't even eating the grass on the edge of the nest. You are really having fun! Brothers, you are the best at playing. Son!"
Xiao Yuchen: ...This is so weird!
"Princess Huai has an audience—"
The eunuch announced that Wen Jin would enter the palace.
Wen Jin went in to salute, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Hailing King Xiao Jinglou was also there.
Xiao Jinlou's expression was extremely ugly.
Wen Jin already knew what the emperor was doing by singing on the stage.
Royal scandals must not be publicized and must be stamped out as soon as there are signs of it.
She just didn't expect that the third prince's concubine would be so outstanding! This speed of spreading gossip can almost catch up with the 5G era.
This is only half a day's work, right? How did the third sister-in-law do it?
Wen Jin was secretly marveling in her heart that she really chose a god to assist, but suddenly she heard Xiao Jinglou scream.
The scream was sudden and pitiful, startling her.
Xiao Jinglou knelt on the ground, "Father, I can't swallow this breath! I have no shame in living!"
"There must be a misunderstanding about this matter. Your third brother and eighth brother are kneeling outside, and your younger siblings are also standing here!
"You are a grown man, but you are not as calm as your younger siblings?!"
The emperor scolded his son, but his tone was not very harsh.
In this kind of thing, the victim should be comforted rather than intimidated, and a balance between kindness and power should be struck.
Xiao Jinglou looked at Wen Jin, "I'm afraid my brothers and sisters still don't know what happened, right?"
"Brother Qi, are you talking about what I saw with my own eyes?" Wen Jin asked calmly.
Xiao Jinglou's expression condensed, "Is what the third sister-in-law said true? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Wen Jin lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Father, did you hear it? My sister-in-law saw it with her own eyes! She saw it!" Xiao Jinglou started to scream again.
The emperor frowned and looked at Wen Jin, "Seeing may not be believing...Have you ever asked King Huai why he went to see the Wei family?"
"My wife didn't ask, and I don't want to ask," Wen Jin replied.
Neither of the two men in the palace expected this.
Xiao Jinglou laughed mockingly, "The eighth younger brother and sister are actually virtuous and generous!"
Wen Jin still lowered his head, "Seventh brother has been imprisoned for six years, so many thoughts will be worn away. What magnanimity? I just want to change my way of life."
This tone sounded like he was exhausted from struggling, feeling flat and dead after all the vicissitudes of life.
It seemed that no setback could arouse her inner turmoil.
Xiao Jinlou was startled... he lowered his head, but couldn't help clenching his fists.
It seemed that Wen Jin was counting on him to make trouble first...he couldn't count on it! You can only rely on yourself!
"Father, I can't swallow this breath! I beg your father to make the decision for me..."
As a bystander, Wen Jin witnessed Xiao Jinglou "crying, making trouble, and hanging himself" to the emperor for "compensation" without participating in it at all.
So, where is the love in a man’s heart?
When it comes to all things, they only have to ask: Is this good for me? What should be done to maximize benefits?
Xiao Jinglou is also considered a leader.
He did not lose his mind in anger because of the sudden "cuckold".
After all, Neptune still won't lose with this kind of coping mentality.
He took advantage of being cheated and even ridiculed by his brothers, and the matter was brought to the attention of his father - the lion opened his mouth and directly obtained two powerful in-laws for himself!
"If you don't marry a concubine, you can't calm your son's resentment!" Xiao Jinlou said, "If you don't marry a concubine whose status is higher than that of the Wei family, you can't calm your son's resentment!
"This woman is unruly! In order to preserve the reputation of General Wei, my father is willing to give her a chance. But my son... I must punish her hard!"
"Death? Haha... Erchen disagrees! It's too easy for her! Erchen wants her to live, and watching helplessly but not getting what she asks for is the best punishment for her!"
Wen Jin watched and listened.
Look, this is a man who is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to the women around him.
For the sake of greater interests, he can have stronger and more support from his relatives when he seizes the throne in the future. He could temporarily put aside his own face, even if he let Wei Yilan live, he would be reminded all the time that he had been betrayed by Lu... He still refused without hesitation the emperor's intention to give Wei Yilan death.
"That's right, the legitimate daughter of the Li family and the Cui family will be appointed to Prince Hailing as his concubine, and they will be married on an auspicious day!" the emperor decreed.
When Xiao Jinglou left, he looked deeply at Wen Jin.
From an angle that the emperor could not see, he curled his lips towards Wen Jin.
He is laughing! What humiliation? What resentment?
It seems that this product is also fake...
Xiao Jinglou left first.
The emperor looked at Wen Jin and couldn't help but sigh, "Jin'er, if a person has a bad life, it may not necessarily be a bad thing..."
Are you going to feed her chicken soup?
Xiao Jinglou even exchanged two concubines to quell the resentment... If he can't come to her, just give him chicken soup, right?
"What do you want? If I can make you feel better, my father will definitely agree to it!" The emperor looked at her. His words did not seem to be hypocritical. There was truly a fatherly kindness in his eyes.
The words of harmony are on Wen Jin's lips...
…
After a while.
Wen Jin also resigned from the imperial study hall.
Xiao Yuchen and the third prince were still kneeling on the white marble ground outside.
When he saw Wen Jin, he immediately stood up, "Jin'er... things are not what you see! Listen to me..."
The imperial guards immediately stepped forward and forced Xiao Yuchen to kneel down again.
Wen Jin paused slightly, but did not speak to him.
"What did you ask for from your father?" Xiao Yuchen had no choice but to kneel there while being escorted, but he tried his best to turn around and ask her.
Wen Jin ignored him.
Xiao Yuchen shouted again, "What do you ask for?"
He was very panicked...
Seeing her cold and cold expression, he became even more panicked.
Xiao Jinglou was given the opportunity to marry two powerful concubines from his natal family. The eunuch announced it immediately. He knelt outside and heard it clearly.
But what Wen Jin asked for, the eunuch didn't announce a word...
She wouldn't... beg for a divorce, would she?
