Wang Yining gave Princess Shenle a deep look. The woman's decisiveness sent chills down his spine; she was far too decisive.
With a sudden thought, Wang Yining couldn't help but advise, "Princess, now that the Emperor has passed away, perhaps this letter contains his final instructions, that is, he wants to pass on the Li Imperial Clan's inheritance to you!"
Since Your Highness sent someone to bring him back, it means you tacitly approved of everything. With the Li Imperial Clan's inheritance, your future position as Empress is practically within your grasp.
He appeared deeply grieved, and his words revealed regret and concern, displaying unwavering loyalty.
"Hmph, do you think it's so easy to get?"
Hearing his words, Princess Shenle glanced at him, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. This old man had always wanted his daughter to rise to power, but little did he know that it was all in vain.
Snap!
The next moment, she slapped him across the face and sneered, " Wang Yining, you have already betrayed my father, so don't pretend to be loyal."
"You want to taint me with the remnants of the previous dynasty, so that I will be feared by my husband, and then your daughter will ascend to the throne, is that it?"
Her gaze swept over the dumbfounded Wang Zijin, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. How could such an idiot want to rise to power? It was simply wishful thinking.
Do you really think Cai Wenji was a kind and virtuous lady from a respectable family? You ignorant fools!
ah!
Upon hearing this, Wang Yining and his daughter couldn't help but shrink their pupils. They had never expected that Princess Shenle would still dare to act so arrogantly even after the Great Ning Dynasty had been defeated.
Moreover, the other party immediately voiced the thoughts that the father and daughter had been harboring, which caught them off guard, causing them to instinctively glance around.
Upon seeing Lü Qiling's enigmatic smile, Wang Yining couldn't help but shudder and abandoned any further thoughts.
If this were anywhere else, he would have dared to kill this princess of a fallen kingdom, but here he dared not act rashly.
He chuckled dryly, "Your Highness, you have truly wronged me. I absolutely had no such intention. I was merely concerned for Your Highness. Without a strong backing, the future of the harem would be unstable!"
"Joke!"
Hearing his words, Princess Shenle's eyes flashed with a cold smile, and she said disdainfully, "Do you think Shenle man is that kind of shallow person? From the moment I decided to marry him, I became a member of the Lin Clan."
My son will also have the surname Lin, not Li.
So if anyone thinks I, Li Mingzhu, Li Mingzhu easy to bully, they're sorely mistaken. Even without my father, I am still Lin Yi's woman. Anyone who dares to provoke me in the slightest will regret it for the rest of their life!
Cai Wenji may not have had a powerful family behind her, but look at the whole All Under Heaven, does anyone dare to say a single disrespectful word about her?
Grand Tutor, that can kill people!
Her eyes flashed with a chilling murderous intent, her target clearly the Wang Clan father and daughter in front of her. These two guys who still wanted to scheme against her at this time were practically courting death.
In this situation, getting involved with the Li Imperial Clan is definitely not a good thing.
Even if her own man were willing to accept her, the civil and military officials would never approve; Wang Yining was clearly up to no good.
Grunt!
Wang Yining's expression changed drastically. Princess Shenle's words had left him terrified. It seemed that everyone had underestimated this princess.
It's surprising that she still possesses such domineering power even after the emperor has passed away.
However, what she said was also true. Even though she was no longer Princess Shenle, she was still the woman of the Prince of Xiliang, and even more so, the woman of the future new dynasty.
He compared his daughter to her and couldn't help but sigh.
She doesn't deserve my own daughter!
Cough cough!
He gave a dry laugh, then said with a wry smile, "Princess, this is truly a misunderstanding..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden shout.
"The Princess has arrived!"
Cai Yan, the princess consort of the mansion, walked in slowly. Her elegant attire made Wang Zijin feel ashamed of herself, especially because of the noble air emanating from her, which made her dare not look directly at her.
Cai Yan ignored Wang Yining and went directly to Princess Shenle. Seeing that her eyes were a little red and swollen, she couldn't help but comfort her, "Sister Shenle, I've heard about what happened to your father. Are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, sister. From the moment my father went against my husband, I knew how it would end. He had only himself to blame." Princess Shenle sighed, but then rallied her spirits to express her gratitude.
Cai Yan nodded slightly, then looked at Wang Yining and her father, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
She looked at Lü Qiling and said in a deep voice, " Qiling, the Wang father and daughter have committed heinous crimes by sowing discord between the Princess and the Prince. Send someone to deal with them!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding maids trembled and quickly lowered their heads.
They rarely saw the First Princess Consort angry, and they never expected her to be so terrifying. This seemingly casual handling of the Wang Clan Wang Clan family was likely a ploy to wipe them out.
horrible!
" Qiling obeys!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiling nodded and immediately walked towards Wang Yining and her father, grabbing them both.
"To sow discord between the prince and the princess?"
This sudden action left Wang Yining speechless, and she exclaimed, "Your Highness, we didn't provoke anything! Princess Shenle from the previous dynasty; we are the ones who..."
Snap!
Lü Qiling shot him to the ground and knelt directly in front of Princess Shenle, swallowing back the words she was about to say.
Wang Zijin, standing to the side, was deathly pale and trembling as she asked, "Your Highness, could there be a misunderstanding?"
There's no misunderstanding!
Cai Yan glanced at the two men. The Wang Clan had previously asked them to pledge allegiance to her husband, but they kept delaying until they were forced to write a proclamation before finally submitting to Xiliang.
However, the Wang Clan was not content with their lot and did not attempt to seize greater power, which was undoubtedly courting death.
She sneered, "Hmph, you think you can bully Shenle just because she's a princess of the previous dynasty? Do you know how much effort Shenle put in during this campaign against Great Ning? If it weren't for her cooperation with the Net, such accurate infiltration wouldn't have been possible!"
ah?
Wang Yining was dumbfounded. Princess Shenle had gone too far. She had helped her man seize her father's throne and personally eliminated her biggest backer.
Isn't that stupid?
He was speechless, and finally lowered his head in despair, saying with a bitter smile, " Wang Yining knows his sins are grave, and only begs for death. He only hopes that the Princess will spare my daughter and son."
"No need. A family should be together. Since we don't understand fate, we should witness the might of Heaven!" Cai Yan waved her hand and had someone take him away.
Soon, two screams were heard outside, indicating that the Wang Clan father and daughter had been dealt with.
Princess Shenle watched this scene quietly, and looking at Cai Yan's stunning face, a smile appeared on her face. She said softly, "Sister, you truly live up to your title of Grand Princess. Your actions are indeed extraordinary. The Wang Clan will probably die with their eyes wide open in disbelief!"
Is this a way of establishing authority through murder? What a good older sister!
