743 Helping Someone Seize Power
Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened.
w.a.n.g Siqing’s arrogance came from how she was treated at the prime minister’s residence.
Moreover, the prime minister’s residence had achieved so much that even the king had to give in to them.
w.a.n.g Zisheng’s father had even privately raised a group of elite soldiers.
In other words, if w.a.n.g Zisheng’s father wanted to be the king, he could easily do so.
“Qingqing, let her go. She’s so annoying. You don’t want her to enjoy the status and treatment of the prime minister’s residence, right?
“If she were to marry into a hooligan’s family, it would be quite troublesome for the prime minister’s residence, but if she were to marry into a commoner’s family, she would still have the chance to enjoy a good life.
“Looking at it this way, it would be better to let her be a useless queen and live in the palace for the rest of her life without any opportunities to enjoy herself. At the same time, she can also increase the prestige of the prime minister’s residence.”
w.a.n.g Zisheng’s father stepped forward. His eyes were fixed on w.a.n.g Siqing as he gently comforted her.
Upon hearing this, w.a.n.g Siqing’s expression immediately became happier.
She looked at w.a.n.g Zisheng arrogantly. “Alright then, let her enter the palace.”
w.a.n.g Zisheng watched all of this unfold indifferently.
w.a.n.g Siqing had always been the prime minister’s favorite, while she was a n.o.body.
w.a.n.g Siqing was the one who had suggested that she be called the “young miss” of the family. The meaning behind it was self-evident.
w.a.n.g Siqing wanted to humiliate her in as many ways as possible.
The reason her father was speaking up for her today was because Ning Caichen had made her make a deal with him.
As long as her father allowed her to enter the palace, she was willing to become his p.a.w.n and watch the king’s every move.
Jiang Ming’s eyes were clear as he silently watched everything.
w.a.n.g Zisheng had mentioned that the king seemed to be disorderly recently, and he was very worried.
w.a.n.g Zisheng’s personality had always been weak and subservient. Now that he had a marvelous p.a.w.n, he was extremely happy.
However, what was laughable was that in the end, the prime minister repeatedly emphasized to w.a.n.g Zisheng that if the king found out, she had to kill herself without letting anything slip.
If the prime minister’s residence looked suspicious, the king would seize the opportunity to cut off his power.
The prime minister did not care about his eldest daughter at all. His eldest daughter was like a piece of trash to him.
w.a.n.g Zisheng entered the palace as he wished, and Jiang Ming had to follow.
Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an did not understand. They quickly said, “Why are you following the young lady of the prime minister’s residence into the palace?”
Jiang Ming shook his head. “I have to go. I have something to do.”
Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an looked at each other and did not say anything else. They just let Jiang Ming go.
After the ceremony, w.a.n.g Zisheng gave an order.
“We must raid the entire Leng family!”
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom frowned. “My beloved, this is not a good decision.”
The Leng residence and the prime minister’s residence were in cahoots with each other. If they directly attacked the Leng residence, it was no different from attacking the prime minister’s residence.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I will bear the consequences alone.”
w.a.n.g Zisheng looked at the king of the Qiqihar Kingdom.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom had a condition for making w.a.n.g Zisheng the queen. The condition was for w.a.n.g Zisheng to stabilize the throne for him.
The two of them had been oppressed by the prime minister’s residence for so many years. Thus, they immediately became allies.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom laughed lightly. “Alright.”
The order was quickly pa.s.sed down.
According to the rumors, everyone in the Leng residence had been captured.
When w.a.n.g Zisheng was discussing some miscellaneous matters with Jiang Ming, the eunuchs came to make a report. “Your Majesty, General Leng is disobeying your orders!”
“Kill him,” w.a.n.g Zisheng lay on the side chair and said slowly.
“Your Highness, the youngest daughter of the w.a.n.g family wants to see you,” the eunuch said again.
Before he could finish speaking, w.a.n.g Siqing barged in with a cold smile on her lips. “w.a.n.g Zisheng, how dare you!”
w.a.n.g Zisheng slowly picked up a cloth handkerchief and wiped her hands. “My sister, why do you say that?”
“w.a.n.g Zisheng, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the queen?”
w.a.n.g Siqing sneered. “Don’t forget, the current power of the prime minister’s residence isn’t something the king can suppress!
“w.a.n.g Zisheng, I advise you to treat the Leng family well. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!
“Also, the people around you make me feel disgusted!”
As she spoke, she looked at w.a.n.g Zisheng and Jiang Ming in disgust and turned around to leave.
“Wait!”
Normally, w.a.n.g Zisheng should be supporting w.a.n.g Siqing meekly, but now, w.a.n.g Zisheng was not willing.
“What do you want to say?”
w.a.n.g Siqing probably thought that w.a.n.g Zisheng was going to beg her for mercy, and her eyes were filled with disdain.
w.a.n.g Zisheng picked up the dagger beside her unhurriedly, pulled it out, and threw it over.
Clang!
The blade missed w.a.n.g Siqing by a hair.
w.a.n.g Siqing was shocked and took a step back. She was instantly enraged. “w.a.n.g Zisheng, just you wait!”
She lifted her skirts and left aggressively.
On the second day after w.a.n.g Siqing left, w.a.n.g Zisheng’s father brought a group of ministers to stand in front of the main hall. He was forcing the king to execute w.a.n.g Zisheng.
They said that w.a.n.g Zisheng brought disaster to the kingdom and the people by killing loyal officials. The Leng residence was disturbed.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom was still on w.a.n.g Zisheng’s side and tried his best to put in a good word for w.a.n.g Zisheng.
However, w.a.n.g Zisheng’s father was still very determined.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom had no choice but to throw w.a.n.g Zisheng into the dungeon and threatened to behead her at a later date.
Before entering the dungeon, Jiang Ming asked the servant girl to release the carrier pigeon that w.a.n.g Zisheng had raised for many years.
w.a.n.g Siqing personally came to the dungeon to see w.a.n.g Zisheng and laughed out loud. “w.a.n.g Zisheng, look at how pitiful you are now. You wanted to touch General Leng, but what happened in the end? You’re about to die.”
w.a.n.g Zisheng scoffed and completely ignored w.a.n.g Siqing.
This was the second time w.a.n.g Siqing saw w.a.n.g Zisheng’s att.i.tude and could not help but be anxious. “w.a.n.g Zisheng, what kind of att.i.tude is this? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now!”
“Come on, I’m not afraid of death!”
w.a.n.g Zisheng glared at w.a.n.g Siqing.
w.a.n.g Siqing was forced to retreat by the pressure. Then, she clapped her hands and laughed. “You’ve already become a worthless stray dog, yet you’re still struggling on your deathbed.”
She was still smiling. “w.a.n.g Zisheng, you’re really funny.”
Then, the smile on her face disappeared.
A guard came over and opened the door. He shouted at w.a.n.g Zisheng. “w.a.n.g Zisheng, you can leave now.”
w.a.n.g Siqing could not believe it. She asked the guard, “What happened? Wasn’t w.a.n.g Zisheng set to be beheaded?”
The guard bowed and said, “Ms. Siqing, the prime minister led the ministers to kneel at the door, saying that there was something he had to say and that he hoped that the king would pardon Ms. Zisheng.”
“How is this possible?”
w.a.n.g Siqing took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. Then, she looked at w.a.n.g Zisheng fiercely. “w.a.n.g Zisheng, what did you do?”
The guards had already opened the cell door. w.a.n.g Zisheng used her hand to brush off the dust on her body and smiled. “w.a.n.g Siqing, you should ask your father. He was the one who let me out.”
