The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 318

The Jinluan Hall was in chaos.

The minister of Justice and other high government officials all looked submissive as they looked at each other, after seeing that the case was turning into a farce while still on trial. Anyway, this was a private matter of the royal family, they should not get involved if they could.

Madam Xiao, Duan Wangye, Li Qin Wangye, and others all looked at the emperor, waiting for the emperor’s ruling.

The emperor’s right hand gently rubbed the armrest twice seemingly pondering.

After a while, the emperor spoke: “I allow it.”

The three words were neither light nor heavy, but to Duan Wangye, it was like a thunderstorm on the ground, and once again he was shocked.

Li Qin Wangye couldn’t believe his ears, his face was ashen and his forehead was twitching.

“No! Absolutely not!”

“Please, asking the emperor to withdraw the order. Your majesty, there has never been such a precedent in over a hundred years for the clan of the Great Qi Dynasty!”

Li Qin Wangye repeatedly objected, his expression becoming more and more agitated.

The emperor said again, “I allow it.”

“…”

Truth be told, even the the minister of Justice and other high government officials did not expect the emperor to give such a verdict.

Compare to the shock or anger that Li Qin Wangye was feeling at the moment, Madam Xiao appeared calm and composed, as if she wasn’t surprised by this at all. She instead bowed down and thanked the emperor, “Thank you, your majesty, the emperor.”

“Ridiculous! Simply absurd!” Li Qin Wangye was on the verge of palpitating, his beard started to tremble as he fume.

The royal clan has never had such a shameful disgrace, even if the emperor was the emperor, he couldn’t just act recklessly and disregard the face of the clan, acting willfully! Did the emperor deliberately slap him in the face now for persuading him not to make the sixth prince the crown prince on behalf of the royal clan!?

It was all for the sake of the royal clan, for the sake of Daqi, has he ever had selfish intentions?!

Li Qin Wangye’s face turned even bluer as a surge of blood rushed to his forehead and he continued to tremble slightly.

“Ah!” Qin Jiu suddenly let out a low exclaim and said “worriedly”, “Li Qin Wangye’s face doesn’t look right, is he about to have a heart attack?”

Qin Jiu curtsied to the emperor and said with a serious expression, “Your Majesty, quickly call the imperial physician, it will be bad if its really a heart attack, heart attack comes small and big…”

Seeing that Li Qin Wangye’s expression was not right, Li Qin Wang Fei became anxious, “Wangye, are you okay?”

“Quick, call the imperial physician.”

Li Qin Wang Fei said hurriedly as she sweats profusely and was disorderly for fear that something might happen to Li Qin Wangye.

After all, Li Qin Wangye was old, he was already sixty years old and was not in a good health these days.

Nonsense! He only felt his breath stuck in his chest.

“Your majesty…” Li Qin Wangye’s complexion turned even uglier as his chest heaved violently.

“Wangye, don’t talk, be careful, you’ll have headaches again…” Li Qin Wang Fei anxiously and quickly went to give him a gentle stroke on the chest, afraid that something might happen to him.

Li Qin Wangye and Wangfei were in upheaval, the emperor could clearly see it sitting on the golden throne above. Pretending to be deliberately anxious, he orders Zhou Xin. “Zhou Xin, do hurry up and take the Li Qin Wangye down to rest.”

“Quickly, summon the Imperial physician!”

The moment the emperor gave an order, Zhou Xin was confuse but still quickly make two other eunuchs carry the sedan chair and swarmed to carry Li Qin Wangye out of the Jinluan Palace.

Li Qin Wang Fei was worried about Li Qin Wangye’s body, so naturally, she followed.

Without half a cup of tea time, the Jinluan palace was instantly almost empty.

Qin Jiu’s lips curled up, feeling that she was awesome!

Look, it’s all finally quiet.

Madam Xiao looked at Qin Jiu calmly with happiness filled in her eyes, thinking that her future daughter-in-law was really clever.

She then collected herself, took out a folded silk cloth from her sleeve pocket, and presented it with both hands, “Your Majesty, this is the divorce paper for this madam!”

The emperor’s gaze moved from Madam Xiao to Duan Wangye, whose face was stiff, and said, “Imperial Uncle, please sign.”

Duan Wangye: “!”

Duan Wang said stiffly, “No way.”

He would never agree with either separation or force divorce. How could he agree!

Madam Xiao looked at Duan Wangye calmly and with a firm gaze, she said, “Didn’t wangye wanted me to intercede for your son? All right, then sign this letter of divorce.”

The implication was that as long as Duan Wangye signs this letter, she would not sue.

Madam Xiao knew inside that what the monk said just now was a “one-sided statement”, if she wanted to convict the heir and his consort, it would not be enough.

It was bound to be investigated and trialed! And at the end of the trial, it was likely that most of the servants would bear all the charges while the consort would just cry saying that she was completely ignorant, and that was it.

This being the case, Madam Xiao was also tired of continuing to tangle with Duan Wangye even longer.

When the song ends, the people come apart.

Duan Wangye: “…”

Duan Wangye seemed to be choked by his throat and could not speak.
