Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 55 The Grand Wedding (5) (Qin Wu's Ruthlessness)

Under the leadership of the King of Jiangnan.

The group entered the bridal chamber.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a appalling scene.

This surprised everyone.

Is this Princess Shenwu's game really that elaborate? Is it really that big?

That was everyone's first reaction.

This was the first time they had ever witnessed such a horrific scene.

They had never even heard of such a scene, let alone seen it.

It's simply unbearable to look at.

"Princess Shenwu, how dare you!"

Before the King of Jiangnan could even see the woman's face clearly, he directly placed the hat on Jiang Pingle's head.

This is an attempt to pin the label of "debauchery in the harem" on Jiang Pingle.

"Guards, separate them!"

The Empress Dowager also spoke up to rebuke.

Immediately, a maidservant stepped forward and separated the people.

It almost pulled the old woman who was about to step forward in as well.

However, there were many of these old women, and they quickly pulled the people apart.

"Princess Shenwu, do you know your crime?"

As soon as the people were pulled apart, the King of Jiangnan immediately questioned them.

"its not right!"

Someone noticed something was wrong.

"what happened?"

The lady beside her asked, puzzled.

“That’s not Princess Shenwu and her elder sister.”

"That's what the noblewoman who first noticed something was wrong said."

She had met the Jiang Pingle sisters before, but the two women in front of her were clearly not the Jiang Pingle sisters.

She simply didn't recognize the two women in front of her.

The Empress Dowager also heard the discussion.

He quickly gestured for someone to come forward and lift the two women's heads.

This confirmed that the two women were indeed not Jiang Pingle's sisters.

"Who are you? And why are you in the Divine Martial King's bridal chamber?"

The Empress Dowager rebuked him.

A bad feeling was rising in her heart.

Their plan has most likely been discovered.

The two women were still in a daze of passion and confusion, so they were unable to answer.

It's just constantly struggling.

He wanted to break free from his nanny's control.

But they are currently in a situation from which they cannot escape.

"Someone, bring them to their senses."

The Empress Dowager urgently needed to know where Jiang Pingle and her sister had gone.

They must convict Jiang Pingle and her sister before the arrival of the Divine Martial King.

Otherwise, their plans would be in vain once the Divine Martial King arrived.

Several basins of cold water were poured down.

The eight people finally regained consciousness.

"what...."

The two women screamed when they saw that they were completely naked.

They had no idea what had happened.

"Speak! Why are you in the Divine Martial King's bridal chamber? Where is the Divine Martial King's wife?"

The Empress Dowager rebuked him angrily.

"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me! This servant doesn't know what happened!"

Upon seeing the Empress Dowager's furious expression, a woman immediately begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, these are palace maids from our palace."

The nanny beside the Empress Dowager whispered in her ear.

"what?"

Even the Empress Dowager thought she had misheard.

She hadn't expected that these two women were actually from her palace.

"This servant can confirm that this is one of the palace maids from our palace, one of the maids who is to be sent to the residences of several princes."

The old woman whispered again.

They cultivated many young and beautiful women, intending to send them to the residences of the Eastern Qin Emperor's sons as their inside agents.

I never expected that two people would appear here tonight.

How did you end up here?

The Empress Dowager questioned him.

She wanted to know what was going on.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how I got here. I was practicing the zither in my room when I suddenly lost consciousness. I just woke up and found myself here."

The palace maid replied.

They have to study and train every day.

But tonight, while they were studying, they suddenly fainted and knew nothing more.

I never expected to wake up like this.

From the palace maid's words, the Empress Dowager understood that the two women had probably been abducted.

It should be noted that her palace was heavily guarded, and when someone infiltrated and captured her, not a single person in her palace knew about it.

If those people were to attack her, would no one even know if she were killed?

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager broke out in a cold sweat.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

The Prince of Jiangnan was puzzled as to why his mother had such an expression.

"These two women are palace maids in my palace."

"Never mind them for now. Immediately send someone to find Princess Shenwu. Remember, you must be quick."

After explaining for a moment, the Empress Dowager said anxiously.

Now is not the time to dwell on other matters.

Their most important task is to find the Jiang Pingle sisters as soon as possible.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to look for it immediately."

The King of Jiangnan also realized something was wrong.

It's a pity it's too late.

"King of Jiangnan, who are you looking for?"

Qin Wu walked in from outside with a cold face.

The Empress Dowager and the King of Jiangnan became nervous when they saw Qin Wu arrive.

They didn't expect Qin Wu to arrive so quickly.

"By the way, why are the Prince of Jiangnan and the Empress Dowager here in my bridal chamber?"

Qin Wu pretended not to know.

At this moment, a noblewoman stepped forward to explain.

"Oh? You dare to commit adultery in my bridal chamber? You've got some nerve!"

Qin Wu stepped forward.

There were six men and two women.

"Wow, they're really going all out! I wonder who raised such a playful couple?"

"Qi Ye, investigate for me."

Qin Wu sneered, glancing at the Empress Dowager and the King of Jiangnan as he spoke.

At this moment, the two were so frightened by the intense killing intent emanating from Qin Wu that they dared not speak.

This was the first time they had encountered someone with such a murderous aura.

Qi Ye accepted the order and left, returning in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"Your Highness has found out. These six men were brought into the palace by the Prince of Jiangnan. As for the two women, they are palace maids from the Empress Dowager's palace. It's just that we don't know how they got into Your Highness's bridal chamber."

Qi Ye reported this.

In fact, he didn't check at all.

They directly pinned the hats on the heads of the King of Jiangnan and the Empress Dowager.

Once they confirmed that tonight's events were a scheme by the Empress Dowager and the Prince of Jiangnan, they immediately attributed the origins of those people to the Empress Dowager and the Prince of Jiangnan.

Moreover, those two palace maids were captured by his men from the Empress Dowager's palace.

As for the six men, it doesn't matter whether they entered the palace with the Prince of Jiangnan.

The Imperial Guard is now under their control; whatever they say goes, so does whatever they say.

"Nonsense, I have never seen these six people before."

The King of Jiangnan was furious.

To prevent him from being implicated in any unforeseen circumstances, these six people were all found by his subordinates.

He had never even seen it.

This person actually said directly that he was the one who brought him in.

Isn't this just unfairly labeling him?

“King of Jiangnan, I have not slandered you. I sent people to investigate, and these six people were brought in by you, King of Jiangnan, according to the Imperial Guard’s registration.”

"Moreover, many of the Imperial Guards saw them following behind you along the way."

Qi Ye sneered inwardly. Did they want to distance themselves from him?

impossible.

He had already arranged everything.

Besides the Imperial Guards, many palace maids and eunuchs were also warned.

They are not afraid of being investigated at all.

"Nonsense! I have never seen them before, how could I possibly bring them into the palace?"

The King of Jiangnan denied it again.

He could confirm that he had not brought six people with him into the palace.

“King of Jiangnan, your denial is useless. I have many witnesses who can prove that these six people were brought into the palace by you.”

Qi Ye sneered.

"King of Jiangnan, don't you have to give me an explanation for why these six men are in my bridal chamber?"

Qin Wu also spoke up to question him.

"Furthermore, Empress Dowager, do you not give me an explanation for why your palace maids are also in my bridal chamber?"

Qin Wu then looked at the Empress Dowager.

If you and your son dare to cause trouble, don't blame me for humiliating you.

"Your Majesty, I am not aware of this matter either. I have already inquired about it. My two palace maids were in their rooms. I do not know who brought them here."

"In a way, they are also victims."

"Also, this is your bridal chamber. Where are the Divine Martial Princess and your concubine?"

The Empress Dowager truly lives up to her reputation as a master of palace intrigue.

They quickly changed the subject and distanced themselves from the situation.

They even put themselves in the position of victims.

"The bridal chamber? Who told the Empress Dowager that this is my bridal chamber?"

"I felt that the location of this bridal chamber was not good, so I had already rearranged it. My queen will naturally be in the new bridal chamber."

Qin Wu could lie without batting an eye; he could lie without batting an eye.

And for an absurd reason.

But that is indeed his style.

He gives everyone the impression that he never does things the way they should.

It's quite possible that they might temporarily change their wedding room.

Although this reason is somewhat absurd.

The Empress Dowager was completely bewildered by Qin Wu's words.

What does it mean to feel that the location of the marital home is not good and to change the marital home?

Seeing the Divine Martial King, the Empress Dowager, and the King of Jiangnan clashing, the noblewomen who had been invited to watch the show now regretted their decision to come.

This is practically a battle of gods, where mortals suffer.

It's too late for them to leave now.

Many people behind them saw Qin Wu suddenly leave with his entourage and wanted to see what major event had occurred.

Unexpectedly, I witnessed such a chaotic scene.

They don't even have time to leave now.

The Imperial Guards let them in, but wouldn't let them leave.

This made them very embarrassed.

“King Shenwu, since the Queen Consort is unharmed and they were just a few ignorant fools, why not let this matter rest? Today is your wedding day, and it is not appropriate to shed blood on such a joyous occasion.”

"That's what the Empress Dowager said."

Since the opportunity has passed, we should not dwell on this matter any longer.

"Huh? Empress Dowager, such a thing happened in my former marital quarters, and you think you can just let it go with a single sentence?"

"Do we have to wait until something happens to my queen before we continue to investigate?"

"Empress Dowager, do you really think I know nothing about what happened tonight?"

Qin Wu sneered.

Want to give up now? Too late.

No one who dares to scheme against Qin Wu has ever escaped unscathed.

"Qi Ye, don't these people like matters between men and women? Give them the strongest aphrodisiac, throw them at the palace gate, and let the people of Dong Qin learn a thing or two."

"By the way, find out their identities and have someone put their identification information aside."

"Those who dare to cause trouble in my bridal chamber, I will make sure they go down in history."

"Remember to find experienced painters to paint their portraits and include them in history books so that future generations will remember them forever."

Qin Wu's order caused everyone present to gasp in shock.

Ruthless, truly ruthless.

Not only were they thrown outside the palace gates, but they were also forced to drink potent aphrodisiacs and have their identities made public.

The most ruthless thing was that they also made people draw their portraits and put them in the history books.

This is hardly something that will make you famous in history!

This is designed to ensure that these eight people are forever infamous, and their families will also be implicated.

"Your Highness, should we write down the places where they serve?"

Qi Ye asked.

Qi Ye's words left everyone speechless, as if they had seen a ghost.

They had all heard it just now: these eight people were the Empress Dowager's and the Prince of Jiangnan's men.

If we write down the places where they work.

Wouldn't that also nail the Empress Dowager and the Prince of Jiangnan to the pillar of shame in history books?

What kind of demons are living in the Divine Martial Royal Palace?!

"Yes, write it down. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain how they appeared in the palace. We can't let the people misunderstand that I'm making arbitrary judgments."

After pretending to ponder for a moment, Qin Wu spoke.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Qi Ye beckoned, and the Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed the men, and dragged them away.

"My lord, please spare my life!"

"Your Highness, spare me, spare me..."

The group had been frightened and remained silent, but they snapped out of their daze upon hearing Qin Wu's punishment.

They would rather die than suffer such punishment.

Such punishment will not only apply to them, but their entire family will also be nailed to the pillar of historical shame.

"Your Majesty, save me! No, no!"

"King of Jiangnan, save us! We..."

The men were taken away, but their pleas for mercy continued to ring out.

The heart-wrenching screams sent chills down everyone's spines.

Those at the back were still unaware of what had happened, and everyone was very curious.

Many people ahead were so frightened by Qin Wu's ruthlessness that their legs went weak.

"Divine Martial King, isn't this punishment too harsh? Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, isn't what you're doing inhumane?"

The Empress Dowager said with a gloomy face.

If she really did as Qin Wu said, she would lose all face.

This is something she absolutely cannot allow to happen.

"Excessive? Humane?"

"They enjoy sexual intercourse, and I grant their wish. How is that excessive? How is that inhumane?"

"Moreover, I helped them to be remembered in history. This is an immense blessing. Many people want to be recorded in history but cannot achieve it. Shouldn't they be grateful to me?"

"Furthermore, I will have them painted so that future generations will not forget their voices and smiles, and they will be remembered forever."

"Why would the Empress Dowager say that I have gone too far and that I am inhumane?"

"Could it be that the portrait of the Empress Dowager was not kept as well?"

"Yu Shu, have Yu Hua paint a portrait of the Empress Dowager and include it in the history books, so that the Empress Dowager can have a sense of participation."

"By the way, would the Prince of Jiangnan like to come along?"

After Qin Wu finished speaking, he glanced at the King of Jiangnan.

His expression seemed to say that as long as the King of Jiangnan nodded, he would immediately arrange for someone to do it.

The Empress Dowager was so enraged by Qin Wu's shameless words that she fainted.

If Qin Wu really did that, she would indeed be recorded in history, but not in a good name, but in a bad name for eternity.

"No, no need."

"No need for the Empress Dowager. Guards, the Empress Dowager has fainted. Quickly send her back to the palace and summon the imperial physician."

"The King of Jiangnan said, trembling."

He no longer wants to talk to Qin Wu.

He had witnessed Qin Wu's madness and ruthlessness, and he now deeply regretted plotting against Qin Wu tonight.

After saying that, he led his men to quickly carry the Empress Dowager away.

The Empress Dowager fainted from anger, and those behind her quickly made way for her.

After the Empress Dowager left.

News of what happened inside the palace also spread.

After hearing this, they all thought to themselves that he was a living devil.

Qin Wu is truly ruthless.

It may seem like they didn't go on a killing spree and even spared eight lives, but that was even more ruthless than killing eight people.

"Alright, everything's fine here. Everyone, go back. The banquet will continue."

Qin Wu walked out as if nothing had happened.
