Chapter 397 The Real Princess Has a Gossip System (5)
[Seriously, did that vice minister really not notice that his bedmate had been switched?]
They probably didn't notice.
Forget it, I can't explain it to a robot like you. I'll just look at the names in my grudge list.
Wangyou began to focus on the system's plot involving the people who had killed her. Besides her brain-dead brother, there was also the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Emperor of the neighboring Zhou Dynasty, the second legitimate son of the Duke of Dingguo, the eldest illegitimate son of the Minister of Revenue, and so on, as well as assassins. What a charming character she was!
Let me first see what the Duke of Dingguo's family has to say!
Upon hearing Wangyou's heartfelt words, the Duke of Dingguo and his family suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, and their hearts leaped into their throats.
The Duke of Dingguo's family certainly deserves the title "Dingguo" (meaning "stabilizing the state"), being a family of loyal and righteous men. But how come there's a rotten apple in the whole pot of soup? Oh, is the management of these powerful families so lax? Children can be replaced so easily. I am like that, and so is the Duke of Dingguo's second son. Let me see where the real second son is.
That was terrible. I almost died when I was abandoned in the wilderness. Luckily, I was taken back to the village by an old monster and raised by a bunch of old monsters. But, I wonder if the old monsters found me because they thought I was too promiscuous and deliberately let someone find me. No, I have to go back and ask them sometime. How could they pack up someone as cute and beautiful as me?
However, the legitimate second son was strangled to death and his body thrown into a mass grave. This fake legitimate second son knew his true identity and even reunited with his real family. That's fine; I can have my adoptive father investigate and then deal with this imposter without feeling guilty.
Lady Dingguo looked at her second son. No wonder he didn't look like her or her husband. It turned out he wasn't her child. Lady Dingguo covered her face and wept.
No wonder Duke Dingguo was targeted by enemy states. As a defensive line of the Great Yu Dynasty, his importance was self-evident. What's even more ridiculous is that this second son is actually the son of Duke Dingguo's stepmother and her lover. This is a huge cuckolding stunt for the old Duke Dingguo. Indeed, you can guard against anything day and night, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family!
The series of news reports left the Duke of Dingguo's family in a state of shock, and Nangong Sheng, who had been eavesdropping, immediately ordered an investigation.
[Mark the enemy, let's move on to the next one, the Minister of Revenue, who is in charge of the national treasury, let me see.]
This Minister of Revenue is really good at his job. He's turned the national treasury into his own, like a mouse carrying rice. He's managed to empty the treasury, and he still complains about being poor every day at court. As for the money he took, it's actually used to support enemy countries. By now, half of it has been moved away. Let me see where the other half is. It turns out there's a secret room in the Minister of Revenue's study. Everything is done from that secret room.
This secret passage must be incredibly long; it must have been a massive undertaking. I suspect that the early demise of the Yu Dynasty was also related to this secret passage.
Then, surprisingly, not a single good person could be found in this family. That's fine, then I won't have to hold back when I strike.
The Minister of Revenue was taken down quietly. The people sent to investigate quickly found the secret passage. Nangong Sheng ordered the confiscation of his property and ordered people to hurry up and recover the national treasury's wealth.
[And then there are the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. Although they weren't directly responsible for my death, they're certainly not innocent. I need to find them something fun to play with first, then kill them when they're tired of playing. I just happen to need two test subjects.]
[Host, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince have been taken care of, but what about the Crown Prince, the fake princess, and your mother?]
That's a good question, but nothing beats destroying someone's spirit!
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! His Majesty the Empress has arrived! His Noble Consort has arrived!" As the eunuchs chanted, Nangong Sheng led his concubines in.
Then, Wangyou was met with a disdainful look from the Empress, which showed that she hated Wangyou to the core.
Wangyou rolled her eyes at the Empress, as if she were afraid.
Next, Nangong Sheng formally introduced Wangyou to the civil and military officials, striving to make everyone remember Wangyou's face. In addition, Nangong Sheng granted Wangyou a special privilege: she was exempt from all formalities when she met him, although Wangyou had never bowed to him.
After a series of official speeches, it was free time. Wangyou was too lazy to move and just stared blankly at the audience.
"Greetings, Your Highness Princess Zhaoyang. I am He Yaoyao, the youngest daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."
"Oh!"
Many noble ladies came to greet Wangyou, but they basically just said hello and didn't chat much.
The gossip system thought that with so many people, the "Forget-Worry Voices" would be quite active, but apart from counting the grudge books, it just sat there in a daze, without making a single voice message.
[Host, if you're bored, how about some melon seeds?]
What's worth watching?
[Why don't you take a look at the gossip about the eldest princess and her husband? Their story is quite interesting.]
Okay, let's open it and take a look.
After watching it, Wangyou felt that it was just two people who didn't have mouths misunderstanding each other, but they didn't understand the point at all.
What's so interesting about this? Neither of them has a mouth, and they've ended up hating each other like this. Isn't it all their own fault? I'd better look at something else.
This is funny. It's a power struggle between the "white moonlight" (his first love) and his current partner. To put it bluntly, he's a scumbag. If he can't let go of his "white moonlight," why did he marry someone else? And then he doesn't treat his new partner well.
That wife is something else, rich and married. If it were me, I'd break that scumbag's legs, then lock him and his sweetheart up. If it's not true love, then love each other properly!
[Host, that man is at least a general; his martial arts skills are quite good.]
[Everyone has some trump cards. If all else fails, they can just throw money at a thousand server rackets and hire a couple of people to take them all down. Breaking their legs is a piece of cake. Oh, and they'll break their third leg too. It's not like they can't afford it. Why put them through all that mistreatment every day? They're just asking for trouble.]
Wangyou's words made the wives present light up, especially the one whose husband liked his cousin but had to marry her. They felt their thoughts suddenly clicked.
The others, seeing their wives' shining eyes, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if their lives were about to end.
Wow, my father has been cuckolded! It happened right near that rockery over there. Let me see how far it is. If it's not too far, I'll go see the live version.
Wangyou looked east and west, but couldn't see the artificial hill, so she asked Taozhi, "Taozhi, how far is the artificial hill from here?"
"It's only a 15-minute walk."
"Let's go play for a while, sitting is so tiring." Wangyou quickly got up and left.
Nangong Sheng's face turned green. He had been cuckolded, and his daughter's first reaction was to watch the show. He wanted to see who was so bold as to do such a thing.
Few dared to witness the emperor's blunders, so those who followed Wangyou were mostly from the imperial harem.
Then, Wangyou heard some noises but didn't see anyone. Just as she was about to go a little further, someone covered her eyes.
"Children shouldn't look at these things, they'll offend your eyes," Nangong Sheng said with a light cough.
