After swapping bodies with the princess, this prince slaughtered his way through the court and becam

None of the ministers in the court had expected this.

The Fourth Prince, who has always presented himself as kind and benevolent, is actually in such a hurry to marry off the Fourteenth Princess.

However, this seems understandable.

After all, the Fourth Prince was concerned about the safety of the soldiers and civilians on the frontier.

Compared to a fourteenth sister, the safety of the soldiers and civilians on the frontier seems to be more important.

Even some military officers couldn't help but nod in praise of the Fourth Prince.

As expected of the Fourth Prince, he can still think of lowly soldiers at a time like this.

As expected of the kind-hearted fourth prince.

The other princes remained expressionless, lost in thought.

The Second Prince, Wei Changyan, standing at the very front, glanced back at Wei Mingchen.

Then she smiled and turned back.

The Third Prince, Wei Qingwu, chuckled:

"Hehe, it's easy to watch someone carry a load without feeling the strain, and it's easy to talk when you're not the one doing the work."

Fourth brother, I've heard that the Hu people also have a preference for male homosexuality. Perhaps we could send you there as part of a marriage alliance.

"puff!"

"Kukuku!"

The courtiers inside the hall tried their best to suppress their laughter.

Third Prince, your words, though crude, are not without merit.

But what you said was a bit too crude!

The Fourth Prince, Wei Mingchen, argued:

"I have the blood of the Great Wei royal family flowing through my veins, how could I possibly fall into the hands of barbarians?"

Marquis Xuanwei's eyes lit up again.

Excellent! That's the best thing you said!

At this moment, Marquis Changxin, Marquis Anren, and others also turned around and frantically exchanged glances.

This is the perfect time to deliver the secret letter!

Marquis Xuanwei, Ren Bing, immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and shouted:

"I hereby report to Your Majesty, and to Her Majesty the Empress!"

Your Majesty, I have a letter that I must present to you!

However, this letter concerns His Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress, and only the two of you may view it; all others must remain outside!

Inside the curtain, Ren Jingxing watched Ren Bing stand up and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, my father still possesses adequate political acumen.

Ren Jingxing watched as the eunuch took the letter and then handed it to the Empress.

When the Empress opened the letter, her pupils constricted in shock.

Shock and anger filled her chest.

"You wretched child! Cough cough, you wretched child!"

The Queen was so angry about the contents of the letter that she coughed incessantly, but she continued to curse.

The prince and princess were having an affair and even planned to have a child, which they intended to send to the grasslands for a marriage alliance, in order to collude with the Hu people to attack the Great Wei!

What kind of beast could come up with such a method?

Then he remembered what the fourth prince had said earlier: that they could not let their own flesh and blood fall into the hands of the barbarians.

Haha, what a huge irony!

Empress Zhang was so angry that she wanted to tear him apart on the spot!

As Empress, she managed the Shanggong Bureau of the inner palace.

She bore immense responsibility for all the impurities in the harem.

When this event is recorded in history, her name will also be recorded.

What's the difference between this and being infamous for eternity?!

She genuinely wanted to behead the Fourth Prince and then bury the case completely.

His Highness and his ministers were all puzzled and confused.

What exactly did Marquis Xuanwei submit? Why did it shock and anger the Empress so much?

The princes were also bewildered.

What's wrong with the Empress? Why is she suddenly so angry?

Moreover, the fact that he called himself a rebellious son suggests that this matter is likely related to the prince and princess.

For some reason, the Fourth Prince Wei Mingchen felt a vague unease.

After reading the letter, the Empress handed it to the Emperor.

After reading it, the emperor immediately slammed his fist on the table in anger and roared:

"You unfilial son! You're a beast!"

"Guards, drag the Fourth Prince Wei Mingchen out and behead him immediately!"

The court officials were all dumbfounded.

What's going on? What exactly is the Marquis of Xuanwei teaching? Why is he suddenly going to behead a prince?

All the officials looked at Ren Bing.

Even the highest-ranking officials, such as the Three Dukes, the Nine Ministers, and the Ministers of the Six Ministries, had to take the Marquis of Xuanwei seriously.

How could a prince be killed so easily?

The fourth prince was immediately startled and trembled.

What's going on? What did I do to deserve being beheaded?

Could it be that his attempt to have the Hu people alter the princess's letter has been discovered?

That's a bit much, isn't it?

At most, he could be accused of being too biased towards the Fifteenth Princess, and he wouldn't even have to bear any guilt!

The imperial guards, clad in armor, approached Wei Mingchen, restrained him, and then looked at the emperor.

They also knew that the order was somewhat of a joke.

If the emperor confirms the order again, they will be dragged out immediately and beheaded!

The Imperial Guards existed solely to carry out the Emperor's orders!

The Emperor of Wei remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand:

"Get out of the way, you unfilial son Wei Mingchun! Get up here in the hall!"

Wei Mingchen walked shakily up the steps.

Lifting the curtain, three people were revealed inside: the Emperor, the Empress, and Ren Jingxing.

The empress and emperor looked angry.

Looking at Ren Jingxing again, the smile on his face at this moment was exactly the same as the smile he had when he hinted at his affair with the Fifteenth Princess!

Wei Mingchen's heart skipped a beat, and he became increasingly uneasy.

Emperor Wei threw the letter on the ground and scolded:

"Open your dog eyes and look at what this is!"

Wei Mingchen's legs went weak the moment he saw the letter.

Wei Mingchen, who thought himself farsighted, shrewd, and ambitious, was so frightened on the spot that he almost wet his pants.

Wei Mingchen knelt on the ground to pick up the letter, not daring to get up.

He was stunned when he saw the first word.

He quickly read the beginning, then skipped over it and looked at the end.

His seal was prominently displayed at the end of the letter!

He simply couldn't believe it!

How could a letter that was already sent to the grasslands possibly be here!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Wei Mingchen couldn't believe it and could only shout blindly.

Where did Marquis Ren get his power?

How could they possibly steal his letters from the grasslands?

"This is a frame-up, this is fake!"

"Father, please believe me, this must be fake!"

The Wei Emperor roared in fury:

"Fake? Do you need to verify the handwriting and seal before you give up?!"

In ancient times, seals had a very sophisticated inspection procedure.

It could even be said that counterfeiting a seal is more difficult than counterfeiting handwriting!

The former can be verified to be genuine or fake through a sophisticated process.

Wei Mingchen looked flustered and continued to argue:

"Father, it must be fake. Otherwise... otherwise why would the Hu people choose the fourteenth princess for a marriage alliance instead of the fifteenth princess?"

Wei Mingchen seemed to have grasped at the last straw and argued.

Emperor Wei hesitated for a moment; this was indeed an illogical place.

Empress Zhang narrowed her eyes and remained silent.

Ren Jingxing looked out through the curtain.

Dad, I've given you the chance, now it's up to you to seize it!

The emperor and empress fell into a brief silence.

The fourth prince took the opportunity to slightly raise his eyes and looked at Ren Jingxing with murderous intent.

Once he gets through this ordeal, he will definitely tear that damned Filial Piety Princess to pieces!

An unfavored princess who still wants to oppose him?

Just then, Marquis Changxin, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward.

"I hereby report to Your Majesty and to the Empress."

Your Majesty, I have also received something similar to what Lord Xuanwei presented. Please take a look!
