When Yaoniang returned to Jin Wang Manor, Jin Wang was already waiting for her in the courtyard.
He had yet to eat dinner. Fucheng was in the midst of ordering the maids to set up a meal. Back in Duke Ningguo Manor, Yaoniang had something on her mind so she only ate a few mouthfuls. Now that she was back, she hurriedly went into her room to clean up, then came out to accompany Jin Wang to eat some more.
“What’s wrong?”
Yaoniang hesitated. She took a leaf of a vegetable and fed it to Xiaobao who was sitting next to her. Actually, Xiaobao had already eaten enough at Duke Ningguo Manor, but since it was his mother who fed him, he still opened his mouth and ate.
Jin Wang frowned. He glanced at Xiaobao, then at Yaoniang’s complicated look.
“Something happened at Duke Ningguo Manor today…” She hesitated then told him about the matter of running into that lecherous young man.
After listening to what happened, Jin Wang frowned even more.
“I don’t know who he was and whether this will cause Your Highness any trouble…”
Xiaobao stared at Jin Wang. If he dared to give his beloved mother any trouble he would put off calling him ‘father’. To be honest, after Yaoniang had finished speaking, Xiaobao could already guess who this person was.
That person called Shen Tai was simply the scum of the Shen Family. Anyway, back when Xiaobao had learned about this person, he was already dead. Only Eldest Madam Shen brought him up from time to time.
From the words of Second Master Shen and Second Madam Shen and his father’s attitude of brushing it aside and avoiding it, Xiaobao guessed that this person had either died in his father’s hands or the cause of his death was somehow related to his father. This was why Eldest Madam Shen always wished to make things difficult for his father.
But in his previous life, his mother didn’t enter the capital. Naturally, today’s incident didn’t happen. Shen Tai also wasn’t stupid enough to poke at his father’s reverse scale, so what exactly had he done to provoke his Father Emperor to such an extent? His father had been so furious that he even disregarded the face of Eldest Master Shen and didn’t hesitate to kill him.
Xiaobao suddenly remembered something. He remembered that he had never seen his great-grandfather when he was a child, only his great-grandmother. His great-grandmother was a very amiable old woman. It was a pity that her body broke down and she remained on the sickbed for many years before finally letting go.
He once went with his Father Emperor to worship his great-grandfather. From what he could remember, the date of death engraved on his monument should be sometime soon. But after visiting his great-grandfather today, he didn’t seem to be a dying person.
Xiaobao felt that he was close to piecing it together, but there was still something that he failed to connect. He tried hard to think about what else had happened at this time in his previous life.
A secret that he had heard in his last life flashed in his mind. Xiaobao felt as if he was struck by lightning.
In his previous life, his father didn’t ascend the throne with clean methods. He had attacked the capital under the banner of clearing away evil ministers. The evil minister he had his sight on was precisely a man known as Zhao Youting, also known as the current Yong Wang.
Xiaobao’s knowledge was too limited. When all this had happened in his previous life, he was only an infant, and a lot of things disappeared during the turmoil.
The reputation of Emperor Jin’an in his previous life was terrible. There were always rumours amongst the people that he was cold-blooded and that he had slaughtered his brothers to gain the imperial throne. Many scholars had even expressed their sentiments through well-worded essays to scold him.
There had been two large-scale executions of authors during Emperor Jin’an’s reign. Many people had been involved. Corpses littered the wilderness, and countless courtiers fell. Since then, no one dared to discuss this matter, and Emperor Jin’an also gained a reputation for being cruel and ruthless.
After Xiaobao grew up, he came to know about this matter by coincidence. Well actually, it wasn’t completely a coincidence since it was staged by someone. When this matter was over, An Wang was denounced. Only then did Xiaobao realize that someone had deliberately tried to deceive him in an attempt to harm his Father Emperor.
Since entering the capital, from what Xiaobao had seen, the crown prince was still the crown prince. Neither the crown prince’s status was shaken nor was his Grandfather Emperor’s body in a critical stage. Then what on earth caused such great misfortune this year?
Xiaobao felt that too much had happened in the thirty-second year of Emperor Hongjing’s reign.
It was this year that his mother had died from poisoning and his body was harmed. It was this year that his great-grandfather, his Grandfather Emperor, the crown prince and the eldest imperial grandson all died. It was this year that Yong Wang monopolized the power in an attempt to ascend the throne. It was this year that his father commanded the troops to march south then became the emperor the following year.
Xiaobao had a feeling that the trigger for all of this should’ve already happened, and that now was the time for the chaos to truly begin. Only then could everything be explained. If the master behind everything was truly Yong Wang, he would definitely choose to make a move at this time-
For the fiftieth birthday of Emperor Hongjing, all the princes gathered together in the capital.
His father must’ve lost this battle then left the capital. Only then would he risk the world’s condemnation to attack the capital under the flag of eradicating evil ministers.
Could it be that his great-grandfather’s death had something to do with the fact that his father had suffered a loss this round?
While Xiaobao was lost in thought, worrying about the country and the people, Jin Wang, who had caused Yaoniang to misunderstand, was busy remedying his fault.
“There won’t be any trouble. You don’t need to worry.”
“He should be one of your relatives. Could he be the eldest aunt’s son? Eldest aunt doesn’t seem to like me, I’m afraid ……”
With a slip of her mouth, Yaoniang received a cold glance from Jin Wang.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this before?”
Yaoniang, who was being stared at, felt a bit flustered and aggrieved. She hesitated, “At first, I didn’t think that this was anything major, but after that happened, I…”
“What exactly did she do to you that gave you the impression she didn’t like you?”
“Actually, it wasn’t anything huge. She only said a few unpleasant words.” Under Jin Wang’s piercing gaze, Yaoniang recounted the matter honestly.
“Later, grandmother told me to not blame the eldest aunt, saying that she has grievances in her heart. Although I didn’t really understand, since the elder has spoken, I only need to listen.”
A complex look flashed in Jin Wang’s eyes. “Don’t be bothered with her. Her mind is not clear. When this prince said that the people of the Shen Family were very important, it didn’t include her. There’s also no need for you to bury your grievances!”
