Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1303 Nightmare Comes True
Everything happened quickly and peacefully.

After all, before this incident, Yuwen Ye was already the King of Qin, General Tiance, Shangshu Ling of the Shaanxi East Road, Governor of Yongzhou, and Zhongshu Ling... More than half of the officials in the court obeyed him. His control over the court had long been unbreakable, not to mention that the Twelve Guards were all in his hands. Therefore, it was even easier for him to take over the imperial power from the emperor than for the prince to take over the throne after he ascended the throne.

It only took half a day for the court to restore normal order and the city gates and palace gates were reopened.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who had long been popular among the people, announced at the fastest possible time that the rebellion of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi had been suppressed by him. He also announced his takeover of imperial power. Although there were some doubts among the people, after all, the Crown Prince was already the Crown Prince and was only one step away from the throne. It was a bit strange to rebel at this time. Moreover, everyone saw with their own eyes that the Prince of Qin left Chang'an and went to Luoyang yesterday. Why did he suddenly return to Chang'an to quell the rebellion of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi?
Although such voices are low, they are not uncommon.

But immediately, it was suppressed by more and louder voices——

"Perhaps the Crown Prince and the King of Qi are jealous of the King of Qin's achievements and are afraid that the Emperor will favor the King of Qin too much and make him the Crown Prince, so they risked a rebellion to seize the throne."

"Yes, I think all this is a big chess game between the emperor and the king of Qin."

"That's right, I saw with my own eyes yesterday that the Princess of Qin led the troops to suppress the rebellion in the city, and it was she who guarded the palace and prevented the rebels from entering the palace."

"If there were no King Qin and his wife, who knows what chaos the world would be in."

……

Gradually, the suspicious voices died down.

On the third day, another court meeting was held in the Taiji Hall as usual.

Although it was business as usual, it was business as usual for the officials. However, when they walked into the main hall and lined up neatly, they looked up and saw that the dragon throne above the main hall was empty. There was only a Qilin chair added next to the dragon chair, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin sat on it, while Eunuch Yu, who had been serving the emperor, stood beside him.

After a strange silence, Shen Wuzheng was the first to kneel down, followed by all the civil and military officials who knelt down in obeisance.

After all the officials had finished their homage, Eunuch Yu stepped forward and unfolded the imperial edict, announcing that the Emperor was ill and had retired to another palace to recuperate. From then on, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin would preside over court.

All the civil and military officials had no objection and they all kowtowed and knelt in submission.

When the court was adjourned, Yuwen Ye walked out of the main hall, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked towards the side hall next to the main hall.

As soon as I approached, the half-closed door opened from the inside.

The person standing in the side hall was none other than Shang Ruyi. She had gotten up early and personally changed Yuwen Ye into court robes, and then personally sent him to the Taiji Hall for the court meeting. She herself was waiting in this side hall, listening to the surprised cries and sighs of the court officials coming from the main hall from time to time. These sounds also made her heartbeat faster and faster.

Fortunately, until the end, no one stood up to oppose.

Now Yuwen Ye was standing in front of her, with a faint smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, telling her that everything was going smoothly, and the two of them smiled at each other.

Yuwen Ye extended his hand to her gently, and Shang Ruyi immediately extended her hand and let him hold it. The two of them walked towards Qianqiu Palace hand in hand.

No conversation along the way.

Just as they were about to reach the gate of Qianqiu Palace, Shang Ruyi suddenly stopped and asked, "I just heard that Shen Tutai seemed to have led 500 people."

Yuwen Ye's steps paused slightly.

"Ah."

"Are you asking him to pacify something?"

"Ah."

"Is there any place in the city that is not safe?"

"Ah."

Seeing that he was almost playing a riddle with her, Shang Ruyi simply stopped, turned around and stood in front of him: "Feng Chen, you and I have been through all this, I thought we are connected, there is no need to hide anything from each other."

"..."

Yuwen Ye looked at her, and although his eyes flickered, he didn't say much.

After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "I didn't intend to hide it from you." "..."

"I just thought I'd tell you after I've dealt with it."

Shang Ruyi frowned: "Are you really going to deal with the people in the Prince's Mansion?"

Yuwen Ye's brows also frowned slightly.

He was not surprised that Shang Ruyi could guess it. After all, as she said, the two of them now had a mutual understanding, and even if they really wanted to hide it, they couldn't. What's more, Shang Ruyi was no longer the person she was when she just married him. Although she was smart, she didn't know much about political and military affairs and could not be easily fooled.

He just didn't want her to get involved in this.

So he said: "There is no true or false, only doing and not doing."

Shang Ruyi looked at him: "So, you have to do it."

At this point, her voice was unconsciously choked and hoarse, and her usually firm eyes also revealed a hint of fear: "So, you really want to kill everyone in the Prince's Mansion and even everyone in the Prince Qi's Mansion as I saw in my dream?"

"..."

"What I saw in my dream was corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river."

"..."

"Those people were extremely desperate. They wanted to escape but couldn't. They wanted to cry but had no tears. They could only wait in fear to be slaughtered like lambs to be slaughtered."

"..."

"In the end, the entire Prince's Mansion became a Shura field."

"..."

"Feng Chen, do you want to do this?"

"..."

"Are you going to make my nightmare come true?"

Yuwen Ye's brows knitted together. The two of them stood facing each other outside the gate of Qianqiu Palace. He said in a deep voice: "But you should also know that if I don't kill them, it will be like cutting the grass without removing the root."

"..."

"I can tolerate other things, but if something like this leaves behind even a little harm, I might regret it for the rest of my life."

Shang Ruyi said: "But Yuwen Qian is dead, and Yuwen Cheng is also dead."

"..."

"It's not just the two of them. Xiao Yuansui is dead, Yu Dingxing is dead, Su Changjing is dead, and even Shang Shoufei is dead. In this court, in the entire Chang'an City, no one can be an obstacle to you anymore, and no one can threaten you anymore."

"..."

"Why do you have to kill so many people?"

Although her words were gentle, they fell heavily on Yuwen Ye's heart. He couldn't help but frowned and suddenly let go of Shang Ruyi's hand: "There's no need to talk about this anymore."

After saying that, he turned and walked into Qianqiu Palace.

Shang Ruyi stood there, looking at his back, frowning for a moment.

At the same time, there was a sudden rumbling thunder in the sky and exploded suddenly above his head. In an instant, dark clouds gathered and strong winds blew. The originally bright sunlight was immediately obscured. Not only the entire Chang'an City, but Shang Ruyi felt as if a thick shadow had fallen in front of his eyes.

There will be more later
