Chapter 374: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 58
Chapter 374: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 58
Wen Yuan felt dizzy, not because of excessive blood loss, but because of the word "Queen". She pinched her hand hard, and the pain made her more convinced that this was not a dream!
The smile on Wen Yuan's face was almost overflowing. She raised her head slightly, unable to hide her inner ecstasy. The position of queen, this is the glory that many women in the harem dreamed of, and now it fell on her head so easily.
"Your Majesty, are you...are you serious?" Wen Yuan asked shyly, but she was already very happy in her heart.
Yinzhen looked at her innocent appearance and felt even more fond of her. He reached out and gently lifted Wen Yuan's chin, and said affectionately: "Yuan'er, my feelings for you are evident to all. When you recover, I will announce it to the world and make you the queen, the mother of the country."
"Your Majesty, how could I be so kind to you..."
"Silly boy, you are my most beloved woman. Who else can sit on the throne besides you?"
Wen Yuan's heart trembled, and Yinzhen's hot breath sprayed on her ears, causing a tingling sensation.
His overbearing words made her feel strangely sweet. Yes, who else in the harem is more worthy of the throne than her?
"Your Majesty..." Wen Yuan called tenderly, gently stroking Yinzhen's cheek with her slender fingers.
"It is a blessing for me to have your love. I dare not ask for the position of queen..."
"Silly girl, if I say you deserve it, then you deserve it!" Yinzhen grabbed Wen Yuan's hand and held it tightly in his palm. Wen Yuan's charming face was reflected in his deep eyes.
"This harem, this world, all belong to me. I want to give it to you. Who dares to say no?"
Wen Yuan was secretly happy, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she showed a worried look: "But, the position of Queen has great responsibilities, and I am afraid that I..."
"What are you afraid of? Who dares to bully you while I'm here?" Yinzhen's tone was domineering, but full of pampering.
"You just need to rest and take care of yourself. I will take care of the rest."
Wen Yuan snuggled into Yinzhen's arms, with an imperceptible smug smile on her lips.
Yinzhen was not a tyrant who was completely blinded by love. He was well aware of the truth that "there is no wind without waves".
He watched with a cold eye, knowing full well the turbulent situation in the harem, and understood that Wen Yuan's near-death experience was no accident.
He didn't believe it and wanted to see who was so bold as to touch his beloved.
He didn't believe that a mere imperial physician would dare to harm his wife and children!
The secret guards quickly presented the results of the investigation, and it turned out that they were Wen Shichu, who seemed to be pure and indifferent, and Shen Meizhuang, who lived in harmony with the world.
The evidence is irrefutable and leaves no room for any excuses.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Shen Meizhuang knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
"I have no grudges against the Imperial Concubine in the past or in the present, so how could I harm her life?"
"Hmph, at this point, you still want to quibble?" Yinzhen threw the evidence in his hand in front of the two men, burning with anger.
Yinzhen was furious and gnashed his teeth as he said, "Come here, drag Wen Shichu and Shen Meizhuang out and execute them by slow slicing!"
The guards looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward. Doctor Wen was always gentle and elegant, and was deeply trusted by the emperor. Concubine Hui was also always low-key and cautious. How could she do such a thing?
"What? Are you deaf?!" Yinzhen roared, scaring the guards so much that they quickly stepped forward, picked up Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu and dragged them out.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have no grudge against the Royal Concubine in the past or present, so how could I harm her life? Please, Your Majesty, please investigate!" Shen Meizhuang cried out at the top of her lungs and struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Wen Shichu's usually gentle face turned pale at this moment. He knew very well that once he was accused of such a crime, he would have no way to defend himself.
"Someone, arrest all the family members of Wen Shichu and Shen Meizhuang, leave no one alive!"
"Your Majesty, please spare our lives!" Wen Shichu and Shen Meizhuang's families were also brought up. They knelt on the ground, crying and begging Yinzhen for forgiveness.
"I have said before, whoever dares to touch Yuan'er, I will bury his entire family with him!" Yinzhen was cold-blooded and ruthless, with no mercy at all.
Shen Meizhuang was furious and roared, "Your Majesty, you are stupid! You have been deceived by this witch and you can't even tell right from wrong! We are doing this to avenge Huan'er!"
"Revenge?" Yinzhen laughed out of anger as if he had heard some huge joke.
"Revenge for Zhen Huan? Who the hell is she?"
"Your Majesty! You..." Shen Meizhuang looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. Now, for a vicious woman, he was forcing them to death.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten your promise to Huan'er? Have you forgotten the favor you received from the Imperial Concubine? Have you forgotten your promise to find someone you love and to stay with you forever?" Shen Meizhuang was in tears, and every word she said was heartbreaking.
"Shut up!" Yinzhen shouted angrily, interrupting Shen Meizhuang's words.
"It is not your turn to interfere in my affairs! Come, drag Shen away and give her a white silk scarf as a warning to others!"
After Wen Shichu and Shen Meizhuang were dragged away, the hall fell into deathly silence.
Wen Yuan gently pushed Yinzhen away, picked up a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, pretending to be sad and said: "Your Majesty, did I do something wrong? Why are they so cruel and want to kill me..."
Yinzhen held her in his arms lovingly and said softly, "Silly girl, you are not wrong. It is they who are evil-minded and jealous of your favor."
Wen Yuan buried her head in his chest, but a cold curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Oh, Wen Shichu, Shen Meizhuang, aren't you very noble and innocent? Now, aren't you being stepped on by me like a dog?
"Your Majesty, I'm scared..." Wen Yuan's body trembled slightly, as if she was really scared.
Yinzhen patted her back gently and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one dares to hurt you. Okay, I promise you, they must all die! I want everyone to know that I will not let anyone who hurts you go!"
Wen Yuan sneered in her heart, but her face looked pitiful: "Your Majesty, am I too cruel?"
"No, you are too kind. Whatever Yuan'er does is right!"
He had long wanted to take action against Shen Meizhuang, but the Queen Mother had always protected her. Now that she had run into trouble, it was no wonder that he was so cruel!
Yinzhen's words "They all must die" seemed to turn on some kind of switch.
In the following days, there was blood and gore in the harem.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the palace maids and eunuchs who took care of Concubine Wan that day were also secretly executed." Wen Yuan covered her mouth in surprise, but a hint of satisfaction flashed in the corner of her eyes.
"They are just some slaves, yet they dare to disrespect you. They deserve death." Yinzhen flipped through the memorials carelessly without raising his head.
