Chapter 510: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Sixty)
Wu Lan's eyes flashed with disdain. Her former fiancé, the Crown Prince, wasn't a good person either. He even had the nerve to bring up the past with her. They'd made vows of love, but he'd still married someone else. If he couldn't even give her the position of Queen, what was the point in trying to coax her into a concubine position?
Ji Mingjie has never lacked women around him. He even wrote letters to comfort her before getting married. In his heart, Wu Lan was the real Crown Princess. But after getting married, he was still greedy for the Crown Princess's beauty. He cherished the beauty for a while, but later he found a woman he liked more, so he neglected the Crown Princess and allowed those women to cause her miscarriage.
She had no desire for a man who was so sentimental and timid that he wouldn't even dare to rescue his own sister. But now the situation was critical, and Wu Lan could only feign compromise with the Crown Prince, hoping to get him to withdraw his troops. After all, the Crown Prince would succeed the monarch after his death, so there was no need to rush.
She also advised the prince not to be deceived by the villain, and to wait until the father and son killed each other and were both defeated, and then the State of Liang would reap the benefits.
Unfortunately, Ji Mingjie doesn't think so.
"Your Highness, she is stalling for time. We'd better make a quick decision, otherwise things will get worse."
Ji Mingjie shouted, "Wu Lan, who are you waiting for to reinforce you? This palace has been surrounded by me. My father is old and should have abdicated. Get out of the way now, or I will show you no mercy."
Wu Lan grabbed the bow and arrow from the person next to her, and she wanted to shoot the counselor Moshi to death immediately for talking too much! Unfortunately, Moshi was standing next to the prince. If she shot the prince to death, she could not bear the consequences.
"Your Highness, do you know what you are doing? You are forcing the emperor to abdicate and instigating rebellion! You are the Crown Prince, why did you go to such lengths? The King knows that you are a filial and polite person, you have been deceived by the villains around you, especially you, Moshi! You are such a sinister villain, stirring up trouble around the Crown Prince! Your Highness, as long as you kill those who instigated your rebellion, the King will immediately pass the throne to you! Wu Lan never speaks empty words!"
"Your Highness, she is angry and wants to sow discord between you and me, causing us to fight among ourselves."
Ji Mingjie waved his hand, signaling Moshi to rest assured.
"Hmph, I don't believe what my father says. Wu Lan, do you think my father trusts the Wu Clan? He has long been dissatisfied with the Wu Clan's meddling in the Ji Kingdom's royal family, and dissatisfied with the fact that he has been on the throne for decades and still has to obey the arrangements of the old concubine! He never thought of passing the throne to me, nor to my fourth brother, but to his third son! My mother and my aunt have fought for their entire lives, and in the end, this man turned them against each other and secretly cultivated his own third son! His heart is worthy of death!"
"Impossible! Didn't the Third Prince die young?"
Wu Lan couldn't believe it! She frequently visited the palace and was familiar with the royal family. The Third Prince was Concubine Wen's biological son and the Second Princess's younger brother. Hadn't he died at birth? Why, after all the fighting and the deaths of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Princes, would the Third Prince suddenly appear? If the Crown Prince hadn't discovered the Third Prince was still alive, who would the monarch want on the throne?
"Then you should ask father what good things he has done! When my third brother died, he blamed mother for it. Mother even thought it was my aunt who had plotted against her! But they were all deceived by Wen and father! Are you waiting for Prince Lounan to come and rescue you?"
Wu Lan did not deny it, but just listened silently.
"Don't you think about it? If there were no practical benefits, would Prince Lounan dare to openly offend me, the next emperor? He knows that if I kill him when I force the palace, his brother-in-law will definitely ascend the throne, and he will be the person his brother-in-law relies on the most. That's why he is willing to come and help his brother-in-law!"
Wu Lan never expected the king to be so despicable! He asked the Wu tribe to defend the country and asked her to protect his safety, but he never thought of letting the prince, who has the blood of the Wu tribe, take the throne! He wanted to kill the donkey after it has done its work! He dared to deceive the old patriarch. Wen and he are really masters of disguise! Ji Mingjie still had a smile on his face, "Father, don't you want to come out and see your son and talk about father-son love? It's too late to see him!"
Seeing that the palace door was closed and no one came out, Ji Mingjie sneered:
"Come here, pull him up and chop him up!"
