Chapter 349: Established as Crown Prince
Ye Wenshan was sold to a wealthy businessman in Beichu, a widower who was nearly fifty years old.
Although the widower was rich enough to rival a country, he had a strange personality. His five wives all died under unclear circumstances, and the concubines in his mansion disappeared mysteriously.
Rumor has it that the widower has an extremely twisted mentality and takes pleasure in beating women.
When Ye Wenshan was first sold in, the other party was afraid of her status as a princess of the Jin'an Dynasty and the consort of the second prince of Beichu, so they treated her with courtesy. They also held her in their hands and cared for her for some time, and were more tolerant of Ye Wenshan's arrogant and unreasonable personality.
It was not until he discovered that the Jin An Dynasty had turned a blind eye to her disappearance and the Second Prince had announced that he had divorced her and that her life or death had nothing to do with Northern Chu that the widower's true nature was completely exposed.
I heard that every night in the widower's mansion, the sound of a woman screaming and cursing could be heard, and then it turned into begging for mercy, and then there was no sound at all.
"It seems that Ye Wenshan is dead."
Song Yunxi was quite sad. The princess was really killing herself step by step.
Qin Xu's eyes turned cold: "I heard that the man she raised is similar to Zi Che."
Song Yunxi: "...Good death!"
The little bit of sympathy for the same sex in my heart was gone.
She hated the stupid thing of looking for the shadow of Bai Yueguang in others the most, not to mention that her second brother was not willing to be Ye Wenshan's Bai Yueguang at all.
If my second brother knew about this, given his personality, he would probably be so disgusted that he would vomit.
Ye Wenshan had indeed brought it upon herself, having driven herself step by step to the point of having no way out and seeking death, but being thrown into a mass grave was still too humiliating for a princess.
But thinking back to the past life, because of them, the Shen family caused the people of Jin'an to lose their country and their families, and Ye Youran, as the Princess of Jin'an, died defending the city gates, and even after her death, she was humiliated by the enemy forces of the three kingdoms...
Compared to Ye Youran’s death in her previous life, Ye Wenshan was merely thrown into a mass grave. This ending was already very merciful to her.
Qin Xubai looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Tell Concubine Shen that Ye Wenshan is dead."
Ye Xuanqi raised his eyebrows: "Cousin, are you trying to force Concubine Shen to contact her adulterer?"
Although it was a question, his attitude was firm.
Qin Xubai did not deny: "It is necessary to give her a push."
Song Yunxi yawned lazily: "With big brother helping me, I can be lazy."
Qin Xubai just smiled at her dotingly. When his eyes moved to Ye Xuanqi, he regained his aloof and cold attitude. "It's time to clarify your identity. Are you ready?"
Ye Xuanqi looked at Song Yunxi who was already sleeping peacefully on the couch, and nodded firmly: "Cousin, I'm already ready!"
From the moment he heard Song Yunxi's voice, he had already made a decision. He couldn't let Uncle Tian's decades of hard work go to waste, nor could he let his cousin's more than ten years of planning be ruined, and he couldn't let Song Yunxi's painstaking efforts go to waste. It was time for him to step forward.
Ye Xuanqi knew very well that if he decided to stand up, he would have to face all the conspiracies and bloodshed, but he also knew that all of this was something he should face and resolve.
His attitude made Qin Xubai very satisfied. He patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Master said that everything has been reversed. Nothing will be the same as in the previous life."
Although some court officials have keenly noticed the change in Emperor Qinglong's attitude towards Prince Chen, and everything in the past year seems to be paving the way for Prince Chen, this is just speculation.
The key point is that Emperor Qinglong still loves the Sixth Prince as much as before, and is even more indulgent. The Sixth Prince has done wrong many times, but Emperor Qinglong has only reprimanded him a few times.
It is precisely because of the unlimited favor towards the Sixth Prince that people have no way to make a judgment. They are afraid that if they accidentally stand on the wrong side, they will be hated by the future new monarch. That would not only ruin their career, but their family might also be implicated.
Therefore, many people are cautious, and there are more and more neutral people in the court.
However, no one expected that the edict to appoint a crown prince would come so unexpectedly, without giving them any chance to prepare mentally, and Prince Chen Ye Xuanqi was appointed as the crown prince of the Jin'an Dynasty.
Prince Chen and his group were naturally overjoyed, and even the usually steady Tutor Zhu and Prime Minister An were rarely seen drunk.
The old general Pingnan even dragged his son Fang Chengwei, who had been promoted to the commander of the capital camp, to drink until late at night.
On the rooftop of Qingyun Pavilion, Song Wentian observed the celestial phenomena and said to his eldest disciple Qin Xubai: "The Ziwei star is strong, and the Tianfu star has also regained its light. It seems that although the general situation has been determined, there are still hidden dangers. You must be extremely careful."
"Yes, Master."
Song Wentian put his hands behind his back, looking like he would fly away at any moment, but Qin Xubai could feel a faint chill from him.
"There will be trouble in Shengyun Mountain. I, the master, want to use this opportunity to eliminate all hidden dangers and leave Xier a peaceful and trouble-free Shengyun Mountain."
Others may not know, but Qin Xubai can see clearly that his master has taken great pains over the years to completely dig out the hidden spies in Shengyun Mountain.
If they were not worried that the chaos in Shengyun Mountain would affect the world situation, with Master's swift and ruthless methods, those people would never have been alive until now.
Qin Xubai felt uneasy: "Master, be careful."
Those scum hiding in the dark have poisoned the Master more than once. If the Master had not reached the highest level of cultivation, they would have succeeded long ago.
Song Wentian smiled and patted his shoulder: "You know, at my level, there is no room for them to take action."
Then he told Qin Xubai: "Xi'er is in your care. Take good care of her."
"Yes!"
Not only does the master have to clean up Shengyun Mountain, but recently Xiao Si's half soul has shown strange phenomena, and the master has to track it with his spiritual sense. He has no time to deal with the affairs of the capital.
Therefore, agreeing to let his uncle join the cabinet early meant handing over all the affairs of the capital to him. He would certainly not let his master down and would do his best to protect the capital and Xiao Si's safety.
Emperor Qinglong appointed Ye Xuanqi as the Crown Prince, which completely caught Concubine Shen and her son, as well as all the six princes' followers, off guard and did not even give them a chance to respond.
Unfortunately, Shen Qiaoping became a living dead, and Shen Zhikang was seriously injured and his life was uncertain. For a while, Concubine Shen didn't even have anyone to discuss countermeasures with.
The Shen family fell, and she had no one to rely on.
Unfortunately, his son is a useless person. Apart from shouting and cursing wildly to vent his dissatisfaction, he is incompetent and can do nothing else.
"He's just the crown prince, not the successor. Why are you panicking?"
Concubine Shen's eyes fell on Song Muxue's bulging belly: "This child will be the first and only grandson of the royal family. As long as this child is here, the throne will only be yours!"
