Chapter 775: Seeing Through Intentions and Controlling Them
Zhang Jinyan really felt like he was dying at this moment.
For a moment, Zhang Jinyan was furious.
Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
Zhang Jinyan thought of a fight to the death.
He kowtowed to Emperor Hongde, his eyes wide open, his teeth clenched, and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why I am concerned about His Royal Highness Prince Yu is because of his little girl's infatuation.
The reason why I want my daughter to marry His Royal Highness Prince Yu is because I love his handsomeness.
Parents all over the world have the same desire to choose a good husband for their daughters, and I'm sure the emperor can understand this.
Furthermore, the first person who mentioned marrying my second daughter to Prince Yu’s palace… was my eldest son-in-law, His Royal Highness Prince Yi!”
Zhang Jinyan's desperate words startled Xiao Jingyi.
I thought: Oh no, this old man is going crazy! He wants to bite me!
The warning look I just gave him...didn't he understand?
Why are you talking nonsense?
Xiao Jingyi turned to look at Zhang Jinyan and called out, "Father-in-law..."
Before Xiao Jingyi could continue to say anything, Zhang Jinyan turned his head and looked at Xiao Jingyi, and said with hatred in his eyes: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please don't call me father-in-law. I'm afraid I can't bear it!
His Royal Highness Prince Yi must have made up his mind to abandon his old ministers and the Zhang family by now, right?
Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless too!
Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Yi..."
"Father-in-law..."
"Zhang Jinyan..."
Zhang Jinyan was about to continue speaking... It was Xiao Jingyi who intended to control His Royal Highness Prince Yu through marriage, so he used his second daughter Zhang Miaotong to scheme for the position of Prince Yu's Consort!
Xiao Jingyi and Emperor Hong De spoke at the same time, interrupting Zhang Jinyan's words.
Let Zhang Jinyan tell the truth about Xiao Jingyi's plan to rebel and seize the throne now...it's not the time yet.
Therefore, Emperor Hongde stopped Zhang Jinyan from saying anything else in time;
And Xiao Jingyi was even more afraid that Zhang Jinyan would reveal what they had been planning for many years.
Emperor Hong De looked at Zhang Jinyan below with an angry face and said sternly: "Zhang Jinyan, are you angry because of shame?
Prince Yi mentioned the second legitimate daughter in your mansion in front of me and the Queen, but after being rejected by me and the Queen, he never mentioned it again.
It is you who are still thinking about death!"
To anyone who heard what Emperor Hongde said, it was obvious that he wanted to separate Xiao Jingyi from the conspiracy between Zhang Jinyan and his daughter Zhang Miaotong against Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu.
After hearing this, Zhang Jinyan secretly cursed Emperor Hongde in his heart for being so stupid... so stupid that he couldn't be any stupider!
This good nephew of yours is always plotting against you, and how to snatch your throne;
How did it take your life?
And you, as the emperor's uncle, are still protecting him with great trust...
Treating a wolf cub like a guard dog...
Emperor Hongde...why didn't he make you die of stupidity?
Emperor Hong De, who was not stupid enough to die, had a furious look on his face at this time. He stared at Zhang Jinyan who was kneeling below with anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear him into pieces right away to relieve the hatred in his heart!
When he turned to look at Xiao Jingyi who was kneeling beside Zhang Jinyan, his eyes seemed to reveal his reluctance and soft-heartedness.
Emperor Hong De knew in his heart that at this moment, he couldn't push Zhang Jinyan into a corner!
If Zhang Jinyan really wanted to risk his life and directly expose Xiao Jingyi's intention to usurp the throne and rebel...
As an emperor, I can no longer continue to turn a deaf ear and dumb.
By then, it would be him, the emperor, who would be in a difficult situation!
Today, the father-in-law and son-in-law have begun to drift apart...
Next, whether it is to make a warning to scare the tiger or to gradually break its wings, just take it slow.
These so-called Prince Yi's men among the court officials are nothing to worry about, so just let them jump around for now.
Through the actions of these people in the open, we can get a glimpse of what is happening behind the scenes.
The key is those behind Xiao Jingyi... maybe some of them were left behind by the former crown prince;
Maybe there is...
After Emperor Hongde sat on the throne and let out a long sigh, he seemed to calm down a little.
Emperor Hong De seemed to have temporarily left the edge of rage, and when he spoke again, his tone was no longer as explosive as before.
Looking at Zhang Jinyan, Emperor Hongde narrowed his eyes and said bitterly: "Zhang Jinyan, oh Zhang Jinyan, I really regret that when my foolish nephew came to me and asked me to grant him a marriage with your eldest daughter, I should not have agreed!
Your daughter has become my niece-in-law, and now she is causing me trouble...
snort!
This can be considered a lesson - be cautious when granting marriages or making alliances!"
As he spoke, Emperor Hongde looked at Xiao Jingyi again...
"Yier, now that things have come to this, what do you think I should do?
He, Zhang Jinyan, is your father-in-law, and his eldest daughter is your principal wife. You say... Alas!"
Emperor Hong De looked to be in a dilemma.
"Uncle, it's all my fault! My nephew... I am willing..."
"That's it!"
Emperor Hong De directly interrupted what Xiao Jingyi was about to say.
Emperor Hongde was afraid that this ungrateful nephew would directly kill his own brother for the sake of justice in the palace!
Emperor Hong De had already seen through Xiao Jingyi's intention.
He is ready to abandon Zhang Jinyan and his daughter!
If he were to tell Zhang Jinyan and his eldest daughter in person at this moment that he would abandon them, and force Zhang Jinyan into a desperate situation, Zhang Jinyan would do whatever he wanted!
That won’t work!
