Chapter 412.4: Consequences

Gong Qinw.a.n.gs current appearance truly was very pitiful. From birth until now, he has never once suffered something like this before. In front of the numerous foreign emissaries, in front of the hundred of court officials, in front of all his brothers and sisters, in front of all the imperial consorts, he can be said to have cleanly lost all face. Everything before his eyes started to darken, unknown as to whether it was due to anger or due to getting hit, afterwards, he finally pa.s.sed out as desired.

Li Hong Yuan came down from the table, dusting off the hem of his gown that didnt actually get stained with anything, and tidied his cuff, his bearing still calm and tranquil, completely unlike having done something that in others eyes can be called shocking just now. Someone come, prepare another share of antique soup.

Many people all inwardly inhaled a cold breath. Having done something like this, yet was actually still able to eat?

In the direction of the foreign emissaries, there was a bit of a disturbance.

Li Hong Yuan lightly swept a glance over, You all, find the play very enjoyable?

In reality, they indeed felt it was very enjoyable, but strangely, not a single one dared to look directly at Li Hong Yuan. Even people of West Xiongnu, Former Wei, and Southern Qi, these large countries, were all the same, either immediately eating something, or lowering their heads to study the floor, or just turning to talk to someone. Just, this last situation even caused some slightly awkward moments. Between people with no coordination, it was you look towards me, and I look towards him, no one coming face to face, so how was it not incomparably awkward. Even so, they still appeared particularly focused, expressing that they really werent watching the play just now.

Speaking from another perspective, the people of Qi Yuan going to another country, and during the emperors birthday banquet, first encountering an imperial consort getting poisoned, then witnessing brothers openly quarreling, would they not be amused? Towards the enemy, the more chaotic their interior, the happier ones side would be. Perhaps there wont be any substantial benefit, but one can completely strike the other party psychologically with ones words and conduct. Regardless of which aspect, winning was still winning, no?

Thats why, the people of Qi Yuan actually can very much understand these emissaries current mindset. Originally, they also felt it was exceptionally embarra.s.sing, but with Jin Qinw.a.n.g stepping out, and each and every one of those emissaries all turning away, not daring to say anything or do anything, this made them strangely feel, even if it was their own side losing face, that was still something others didnt dare to look at. Just like if the masters of the family were to get into a fight, even if terribly chaotic, the servants still can only pretend to not know anything. Thats right, it was precisely this kind of feeling.

Quite a few people looked to one another, and afterwards, seamlessly s.h.i.+fted their gaze-Turns out, it wasnt just them that had this kind of thought.

However, this kind of atmosphere didnt persist for long. Gong Qinw.a.n.gs birth mother, as well as Gong w.a.n.gfei, staggeringly reached Gong Qinw.a.n.gs side. Gong w.a.n.gfei perhaps still hesitated, but Gong Qinw.a.n.gs birth mother didnt mind the stains in the slightest, hugging the unconscious Gong Qinw.a.n.g, Someone come, someone come, summon the imperial physician-

The imperial physician? About that, the imperial physicians this while seemingly were all gathered in Ganlu Palace, so afraid it wasnt too possible for them to come over. But, could it be that it was just having the dirtied Gong Qinw.a.n.g lifted to Ganlu Palace? After slight hesitation, with no other options, it was still just choosing the latter. At worst it was just stripping off Gong Qinw.a.n.gs outer robe. After all, the other areas were actually still okay. If not, then it was just using the handkerchief to wipe a little.

After obtaining the uninvolved empresss order, a few eunuchs along with Gong Qinw.a.n.gs personal attendant went froward to help.

Unknown as to whether it was intentional or not, Gong Qinw.a.n.gs birth mother, although removed Gong Qinw.a.n.gs outer robe, the stains in his hair and on his neck, she didnt carefully wipe away.

Li Hong Yuan didnt pay attention, but even if he noticed, he still wont have any reactions. It was nothing more than wanting to show his old man, properly painting a story, and singing a pitiful tale. Since hed already beaten and injured, this bit of external factor really was irrelevant.

Once Gong Qinw.a.n.g got sent away, the palace servants began swiftly cleaning up the floor and Jin Qinw.a.n.gs seat. When they were more or less finished, Le Cheng Emperor appeared.

When Le Cheng Emperor saw Li Hong Yuan, he just had a helpless look, rubbing his pulsing temples, You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how come you just cant settle down a little.

When Jin Qinw.a.n.g had attacked Gong Qinw.a.n.g, it was obvious that someone had gone to report to Le Cheng Emperor, and nine times out of ten, it was someone sent by the empress. Rather, it wasnt that the empress was siding with Gong Qinw.a.n.g, just whenever Li Hong Yuan went crazy, ordinary people simply werent able to restrain him. Although he would also talk back to Le Cheng Emperor, angering Le Cheng Emperor to death, his old mans words, as the son, he would still listen to majority of the times.

When Le Cheng Emperor came over, he most likely ran into Gong Qinw.a.n.gs party. As the mother, a certain imperial concubine certainly must have cried miserably, ruthlessly adding oil and vinegar.

Today, there were too many incidences. For Le Cheng Emperor, there was great joy, great sorrow, and great anger, even having the fear towards death. His body wasnt considered too well to begin with, so this while, he can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted. Regardless of what Li Hong Yuan had done, he all didnt want to look into, or rather, he didnt have the energy to look into. After sitting down, Old six, settle down a little.

With just these six simple words, this matter was just over with.

It was over with just like this? Those foreign emissaries were exceptionally flabbergasted. As the emperor, to be partial to such a degree, was it really okay?

It really was okay, just get used to it. For Qi Yuans side, for things to have escalated this much, yet Le Cheng Emperor still wont do anything, they were still that tiny bit surprised, but considering Le Cheng Emperors current state, each and every one also just calmed down. Can only say, never mind that Gong Qinw.a.n.g courted death on his own, he was even deathly unlucky.

The Former Wei fifth princes gaze stayed on Li Hong Yuan for a long time. Right now, his feelings were a bit complicated. Towards Li Hong Yuan, he seemingly somewhat admired. For a prince to be able to accomplish such a feat, it truly was impressive. Yet, he also somewhat envied, also having a bit of an indescribable feeling. In Great Weis capital city, he was also a tyrant, going on a rampage and having no fear, but when facing the high officials in court, he didnt dare to do anything, and when facing his imperial father, that was further putting away all the sharp corners on him, not daring to show a disagreeable face. Even if something happened, that was also the crown prince secretly helping him clean up, not daring to report to their imperial father. Where was he anything like Li Hong Yuan, completely unbridled towards everything, not fearing anything at all. As a person, to be able to live like this, even if having a shortened life, one would have not lived in vain.

n.o.ble Consort, the evening banquet will just end here. The following matters, will leave to you to arrange. Le Cheng Emperor said after taking a few sips of water.

Yes, your Majesty. n.o.ble Consort Su originally still wanted to speak with Li Hong Yuan, but now, it seems it was impossible.

Fortunately, the imperial gardens were already put in order, so there was no need to work too much. Even though the phoenix seal was in Shu Consort Qins hand, with n.o.ble Consort Su just a.s.sisting, Shu Consort Qin was never someone that monopolized power. For the emperors birthday this time, the portion of work that belonged to the inner palace was all decided on after consulting with n.o.ble Consort Su. Thats why, n.o.ble Consort Su was also aware of everything, so wont lose her footing.

With this many incidences occurring, they actually can disperse already. After all, the majority of people all were no longer in the mood. However, Shu Consort Qins incident was still unclear. Once the palace gates opened, if by chance you were to let someone with evil intentions out of the palace, or let someone have certain important evidences taken out of the palace, then the investigation will become even more troublesome.

The acc.u.mulated snow in the imperial gardens were already cleanly cleared away. Although it was winter, it didnt really appear desolate. Adorning with various lanterns, and also many different kinds of ornaments, it appeared exceptionally beautiful, even having the illusion of stepping into the heavenly realm.
