Chapter 332 The abstinent first assistant of the noble noble VS the abandoned wife of the East Palac
"It's you..." Before he could finish his incoherent words, Wei Biao, who was in dire straits and had no strength left, fainted again.
But this is not the end. The prince is afraid that Wei Biao will wake up again.
He hit it hard several times in a row.
Blood splattered everywhere, and it looked like a crime scene.
Some people couldn't bear it, and indeed felt that there were some doubts, and couldn't help but want to plead for mercy, but looking at the prince's blood-stained face and bloodshot eyes.
The words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them back silently.
At this time, Wei Biao fainted and woke up, but fainted again and woke up again, and this cycle repeated over and over again.
Every time he regained consciousness, he realized that his injuries were more serious than the last time.
Am I going to die today?
The will to survive made him unwilling.
Just when everyone was silent, certain that Wei Biao would die at the hands of the prince, no one expected Wen Yuzhi to suddenly speak.
"Prince, it is more important to deal with the Emperor's funeral. Wei Biao is already dying, why would you dirty your hands?"
The prince paused in his movements.
He raised his eyes and looked deeply at Wen Yuzhi who was not far away with a calm and deep look in his eyes.
If it were someone else's words, the prince could ignore them, but Wen Yuzhi had already helped his father review memorials, and at least half of the power in the court had been consolidated by Wen Yuzhi.
Even if the prince was not very smart, he knew that if he wanted to secure the throne, he would have to rely on Prime Minister Wen for the time being.
What's more, he had a leg disease. If he ascended the throne, he would definitely be opposed by the stubborn ministers in the court and criticized by the world.
Wen Yuzhi is so smart, he will definitely be able to think of a good solution!
Looking at Wei Biao again, he was indeed breathing out more than breathing in, so he must not say anything that was unfavorable to him.
What's more, even if Wei Biao said that he was the one who killed his father, no one would believe it. They would just think that Wei Biao held a grudge against him as the prince.
After figuring out the cause and effect, the prince generously threw the cracked bottle in his hand to the ground and snorted coldly: "Then temporarily throw Wei Biao into the sky prison!"
"I am willing to put the Wei thief into the Heavenly Prison on behalf of the Crown Prince." Wen Yuzhi spoke again.
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone's eyes fell on him without surprise.
"Hiss... Why did Prime Minister Wen do this?" This was the voice of the pro-Wen faction.
Neutralists: Prime Minister Wen is always careless in everything he does. I don’t understand it. Let’s wait and see.
The prince was very proud. Wen Yuzhi used to be very cold and arrogant in front of him, but now that his father was gone, Wen Yuzhi finally learned his lesson and submitted to him, the future wise ruler.
Although the prince had thought before that he would execute Wen Yuzhi when he ascended the throne, he has now given up the idea.
He thought that letting Wen Yuzhi live!
Thinking about how powerful and arrogant Wen Yuzhi was in the past, the prince felt particularly happy that he would have to lick him to please and flatter him every day.
"Your Highness has agreed." The prince raised his chin and looked at Wen Yuzhi arrogantly.
……
"Mr. Wei? Mr. Wei?"
Wei Biao heard someone calling him in a daze. He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and what he saw was a dark cell filled with a decayed atmosphere.
However, what surprised him was that the person who was with him at the moment was Prime Minister Wen, Wen Yuzhi, whom he seldom interacted with on weekdays.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he opened his mouth, but only a faint breath came out of his voice.
Wen Yuzhi looked at Wei Biao with sympathy on his face and a heavy tone.
"Mr. Wei, the emperor passed away suddenly. This happened so suddenly. I believe Mr. Wei is innocent, but unfortunately the power in my hands has been taken away by the prince. Now I have used up all my energy to stop the prince from killing Mr. Wei."
Wei Biao opened his mouth, and gratitude appeared on his blood-stained old face.
He took a deep breath, calmed down, then showed an angry look, tightly grasped Wen Yuzhi's hand and spoke.
"I know that the Crown Prince has rebelled against Tiangang and committed heinous crimes. He wanted to take my life. Now I am imprisoned and my time is up. My only regret is that I have failed the Emperor's trust..."
Wen Yuzhi admired Wei Biao in his heart. The old emperor was right about Wei Biao. He was truly a pure royalist.
He is loyal to the entire royal family and even now, when he is dying, he is still trying to find ways to plan for the royal family.
But admiration is one thing, but he is different from Wei Biao's camp and was destined to stand on the opposite side from the beginning.
Wei Biao saw that Wen Yuzhi was distracted and became more anxious.
He desperately clenched Wen Yuzhi's hand, his eyes stubborn.
"Prime Minister Wen, swear to me that you will never take the throne, and I will hand the man over to you."
Wen Yuzhi was shocked when he heard this.
coming!
The reason why he came to see Wei Biao off was not only because he admired Wei Biao as a person, but also because he guessed that the old emperor would hand over all the secret guards and even the shadow guards to Wei Biao for management.
After all, it was easy to kill the Royal Shadow Guards for a while, but in the later period, the layout of the Royal Shadow Guards suddenly changed its style.
And the discipline is strict, as if it has been reborn.
That was also the time when the old emperor summoned Wei Biao back.
Wen Yuzhi looked at Wei Biao with an inexplicable expression and asked, "Does Mr. Wei trust me so much?"
Wei Biao felt sad. Who else could he trust to other than the person in front of him?
"I heard that Prime Minister Wen is a man of his word. He once encountered people complaining about their grievances during his inspection. You saw that the children complaining were pitiful, but you felt pity for them and agreed to help them overturn the verdict."
"But when you first entered the court, you found out that the people who seized the good farmland and beat the child's parents to death were from the families of the first-rank officials of the court. Yet, you did not hesitate to offend all the dignitaries in the court just because of a promise."
Wen Yuzhi chuckled. He just felt sorry for the brother and sister at the time, and he also wanted to show off in front of the old emperor. He even guessed that the old emperor wanted to clean up the corrupt officials in the court.
It was also from then on that the old emperor felt that he was indeed a very capable sword, and gradually gave him more power.
"I swear that I will never sit on that throne."
Wen Yuzhi swore straightforwardly, even looking into Wei Biao's eyes with great sincerity.
After all, he really didn't want to sit on that cold dragon throne, so he decided to let his child sit on it.
When Wei Biao saw that Wen Yuzhi finally agreed to his request, his nervous heart gradually relaxed.
He pulled off his belt and picked out two curved jade pieces from the waistband.
When the two pieces of jade are put together, a small clicking sound is heard.
The jade pieces unexpectedly fit together perfectly, forming a jade ring that was emerald green.
"This is a token to command the entire Royal Shadow Guard and several assassin organizations outside. Keep it well. I will ask you to promise me in the end."
Wen Yuzhi put away the jade ring, looked at Wei Biao, and thought to himself, this old man talks a lot.
"Promise of what?" he asked.
Wei Biao gritted his teeth and said, "I promise not to let the prince ascend the throne. I have already looked at the royal family members and there is no one suitable. Now my hope lies in the Crown Princess's belly. If a prince is born, you must protect the little prince."
At this time, there was a hint of pity in Wen Yuzhi's eyes when he looked at Wei Biao.
Wei Biao thought Wen Yuzhi was unwilling, so his breathing gradually became heavier, and he gritted his teeth and continued to seduce her.
"If you are willing, then all my wealth and real estate will be given to you."
