Chapter 417 One Meaning
Wei Zhongxian gave a slight hint, which made the emperor begin to suspect Chen Er. In fact, it is not impossible for the emperor to suspect Chen Er in this way, according to normal people's thinking. After all, how could Chen Er find Zhao Tianming's treasury in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? Obviously, there was another meaning in the emperor's words.
So, could it be that you, Chen Er, are involved in this matter? Of course, the Emperor only said one thing and didn't say it explicitly, after all, everyone here is a smart man. Chen Er remained silent.
However, this startled Zhang Xingchen. It was clear that ever since Chen Er joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhang Xingchen had always regarded Chen Er as his own brother.
Seeing that Chen Er was actually suspected by the Emperor, Zhang Xingchen was very unhappy.
"Your Majesty, to be honest with you, Zhao Tianming has a concubine who is very close to me. It was from this concubine that I learned about the treasury, and then I told Chen Er to search it. This matter has nothing to do with Chen Er."
Left with no other choice, Zhang Xingchen had to tell the truth.
However, Zhang Xingchen's words made Zhao Tianming's eyes widen. Zhao Tianming never expected that after decades of dominating the world, his most beloved wife would be the one who betrayed him in the end.
Zhao Tianming was filled with hatred. Suddenly, he looked at Zhao Beixing and opened his mouth slightly, but no words came out. This was lip reading. After all, Zhao Tianming and Zhao Beixing were brothers, and Zhao Beixing had already realized what Zhao Tianming was about to say.
Because Zhao Beixing's methods were extremely ruthless, and in recent years he had also learned from Wei Zhongxian to associate with people in the martial arts world. These people were not only very skilled, but also ruthless killers, so dealing with Xiaoqian would be a piece of cake for them.
Chen Er had a bad feeling. He hadn't expected that the emperor was actually the legendary tyrant. After being provoked by Wei Zhongxian a few times, the emperor had placed all his suspicions on him.
Fortunately, Zhang Xingchen was helpful and directly told them about the young mistress. However, what Zhang Xingchen said might not be a good thing. Although Zhao Tianming was destined to die here today, he still had an older brother, Zhao Beixing, who was watching him like a hawk.
Now that Zhang Xingchen has revealed the matter of the young mistress, Zhao Beixing will definitely not let the young mistress go after Zhao Tianming dies. Therefore, Chen Er now hates the emperor very much. He feels that it is no wonder that all the real power has been taken into the hands of Wei Zhongxian. There is a reason for this.
Upon hearing Zhang Xingchen's words, the Emperor burst into laughter: "So you are Zhao Tianming's concubine. I was already prepared. Quickly bring this Yang Xiaoqian up. Today I will certainly reward this extraordinary woman handsomely." The Emperor said with great pleasure.
The Emperor felt that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was already running low on funds. Fortunately, Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen were sensible and quickly confiscated Zhao Tianming's property. With so much money now, the Emperor was practically laughing himself silly.
Zhang Xingchen was a little surprised, wondering what the Emperor was up to. However, Zhang Xingchen understood that if the Emperor wanted to see Yang Xiaoqian, he would be furious if she refused. So, with no other choice, Zhang Xingchen had to go out and find Yang Xiaoqian.
Yang Xiaoqian was not a member of the court, nor did she hold any official position. So after Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen entered, Yang Xiaoqian waited at the door. Chen Er couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do.
However, as long as the emperor doesn't suspect him, Chen Er is safe for the time being.
A short while later, Zhang Xingchen brought in Yang Xiaoqian, who looked worried. At that moment, Yang Xiaoqian was also wondering what the Emperor was up to.
Why did she want to see him in person? At this moment, the emperor had already returned to his throne, and when he saw Yang Xiaoqian, he couldn't help but stand up.
Because Yang Xiaoqian looked absolutely stunning today. Her turquoise dress accentuated her figure beautifully, and her delicate face captivated the Emperor.
The Emperor's behavior greatly displeased Zhang Xingchen, who knew that Yang Xiaoqian had become his woman.
Could it be that the Emperor intends to take advantage of Yang Xiaoqian? Zhang Xingchen was trembling with anger, feeling that the Emperor was too unreasonable. If Chen Er hadn't been holding onto Zhang Xingchen's clothes tightly, Zhang Xingchen would have been jumping up and down in anger.
Wei Zhongxian, who was by the emperor's side, immediately laughed: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because this extraordinary woman is very famous in our area, especially since she married Zhao Tianming, that she is truly a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."
Wei Zhongxian said with a wicked smile.
The Emperor did not refute Wei Zhongxian's words, but nodded firmly, and then said helplessly.
"That's right, it really is a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. Yang Xiaoqian, let me ask you, did you tell Zhao Zhangxingchen about Zhao Tianming's secret treasury?" the Emperor asked suspiciously.
Although the emperor does not seem to have any masculine qualities, because all his power has been usurped by Wei Zhongxian, it is unknown whether the emperor spends too much time with Wei Zhongxian, but he simply lacks any manly qualities.
If it weren't for the emperor wearing a dragon robe, he would probably look like an ordinary commoner in a crowd. At this moment, Zhao Tianming's eyes were fixed on the beautiful Yang Xiaoqian. Zhao Tianming felt his whole body trembling, and he felt like he was about to grind his teeth to powder.
Zhao Tianming had been a powerful figure for decades, thriving in the officialdom. In particular, Zhao Tianming and Zhao Beixing were brothers, and the two of them had their own influence in the court. Even Wei Zhongxian had to be wary of Zhao Tianming.
But now, Zhao Tianming is furious. He dotes on his little wife.
But who would have thought that Yang Xiaoqian would tell Zhang Xingchen about her secret stash of money, which in turn led Zhang Xingchen to tell Chen Er, thus allowing Chen Er to catch Zhao Tianming in the act?
