743 Helping Someone Seize Power
Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened.
Wang Siqing’s arrogance came from how she was treated at the prime minister’s residence.
Moreover, the prime minister’s residence had achieved so much that even the king had to give in to them.
Wang Zisheng’s father had even privately raised a group of elite soldiers.
In other words, if Wang Zisheng’s father wanted to be the king, he could easily do so.
“Qingqing, let her go. She’s so annoying. You don’t want her to enjoy the status and treatment of the prime minister’s residence, right?
“If she were to marry into a hooligan’s family, it would be quite troublesome for the prime minister’s residence, but if she were to marry into a commoner’s family, she would still have the chance to enjoy a good life.
“Looking at it this way, it would be better to let her be a useless queen and live in the palace for the rest of her life without any opportunities to enjoy herself. At the same time, she can also increase the prestige of the prime minister’s residence.”
Wang Zisheng’s father stepped forward. His eyes were fixed on Wang Siqing as he gently comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Wang Siqing’s expression immediately became happier.
She looked at Wang Zisheng arrogantly. “Alright then, let her enter the palace.”
Wang Zisheng watched all of this unfold indifferently.
Wang Siqing had always been the prime minister’s favorite, while she was a nobody.
Wang Siqing was the one who had suggested that she be called the “young miss” of the family. The meaning behind it was self-evident.
Wang Siqing wanted to humiliate her in as many ways as possible.
The reason her father was speaking up for her today was because Ning Caichen had made her make a deal with him.
As long as her father allowed her to enter the palace, she was willing to become his pawn and watch the king’s every move.
Jiang Ming’s eyes were clear as he silently watched everything.
Wang Zisheng had mentioned that the king seemed to be disorderly recently, and he was very worried.
Wang Zisheng’s personality had always been weak and subservient. Now that he had a marvelous pawn, he was extremely happy.
However, what was laughable was that in the end, the prime minister repeatedly emphasized to Wang Zisheng that if the king found out, she had to kill herself without letting anything slip.
If the prime minister’s residence looked suspicious, the king would seize the opportunity to cut off his power.
The prime minister did not care about his eldest daughter at all. His eldest daughter was like a piece of trash to him.
Wang Zisheng entered the palace as he wished, and Jiang Ming had to follow.
Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an did not understand. They quickly said, “Why are you following the young lady of the prime minister’s residence into the palace?”
Jiang Ming shook his head. “I have to go. I have something to do.”
Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an looked at each other and did not say anything else. They just let Jiang Ming go.
After the ceremony, Wang Zisheng gave an order.
“We must raid the entire Leng family!”
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom frowned. “My beloved, this is not a good decision.”
The Leng residence and the prime minister’s residence were in cahoots with each other. If they directly attacked the Leng residence, it was no different from attacking the prime minister’s residence.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I will bear the consequences alone.”
Wang Zisheng looked at the king of the Qiqihar Kingdom.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom had a condition for making Wang Zisheng the queen. The condition was for Wang Zisheng to stabilize the throne for him.
The two of them had been oppressed by the prime minister’s residence for so many years. Thus, they immediately became allies.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom laughed lightly. “Alright.”
The order was quickly passed down.
According to the rumors, everyone in the Leng residence had been captured.
When Wang Zisheng was discussing some miscellaneous matters with Jiang Ming, the eunuchs came to make a report. “Your Majesty, General Leng is disobeying your orders!”
“Kill him,” Wang Zisheng lay on the side chair and said slowly.
“Your Highness, the youngest daughter of the Wang family wants to see you,” the eunuch said again.
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Siqing barged in with a cold smile on her lips. “Wang Zisheng, how dare you!”
Wang Zisheng slowly picked up a cloth handkerchief and wiped her hands. “My sister, why do you say that?”
“Wang Zisheng, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the queen?”
Wang Siqing sneered. “Don’t forget, the current power of the prime minister’s residence isn’t something the king can suppress!
“Wang Zisheng, I advise you to treat the Leng family well. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!
“Also, the people around you make me feel disgusted!”
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Zisheng and Jiang Ming in disgust and turned around to leave.
“Wait!”
Normally, Wang Zisheng should be supporting Wang Siqing meekly, but now, Wang Zisheng was not willing.
“What do you want to say?”
Wang Siqing probably thought that Wang Zisheng was going to beg her for mercy, and her eyes were filled with disdain.
Wang Zisheng picked up the dagger beside her unhurriedly, pulled it out, and threw it over.
Clang!
The blade missed Wang Siqing by a hair.
Wang Siqing was shocked and took a step back. She was instantly enraged. “Wang Zisheng, just you wait!”
She lifted her skirts and left aggressively.
On the second day after Wang Siqing left, Wang Zisheng’s father brought a group of ministers to stand in front of the main hall. He was forcing the king to execute Wang Zisheng.
They said that Wang Zisheng brought disaster to the kingdom and the people by killing loyal officials. The Leng residence was disturbed.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom was still on Wang Zisheng’s side and tried his best to put in a good word for Wang Zisheng.
However, Wang Zisheng’s father was still very determined.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom had no choice but to throw Wang Zisheng into the dungeon and threatened to behead her at a later date.
Before entering the dungeon, Jiang Ming asked the servant girl to release the carrier pigeon that Wang Zisheng had raised for many years.
Wang Siqing personally came to the dungeon to see Wang Zisheng and laughed out loud. “Wang Zisheng, look at how pitiful you are now. You wanted to touch General Leng, but what happened in the end? You’re about to die.”
Wang Zisheng scoffed and completely ignored Wang Siqing.
This was the second time Wang Siqing saw Wang Zisheng’s attitude and could not help but be anxious. “Wang Zisheng, what kind of attitude is this? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now!”
“Come on, I’m not afraid of death!”
Wang Zisheng glared at Wang Siqing.
Wang Siqing was forced to retreat by the pressure. Then, she clapped her hands and laughed. “You’ve already become a worthless stray dog, yet you’re still struggling on your deathbed.”
She was still smiling. “Wang Zisheng, you’re really funny.”
Then, the smile on her face disappeared.
A guard came over and opened the door. He shouted at Wang Zisheng. “Wang Zisheng, you can leave now.”
Wang Siqing could not believe it. She asked the guard, “What happened? Wasn’t Wang Zisheng set to be beheaded?”
The guard bowed and said, “Ms. Siqing, the prime minister led the ministers to kneel at the door, saying that there was something he had to say and that he hoped that the king would pardon Ms. Zisheng.”
“How is this possible?”
Wang Siqing took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. Then, she looked at Wang Zisheng fiercely. “Wang Zisheng, what did you do?”
The guards had already opened the cell door. Wang Zisheng used her hand to brush off the dust on her body and smiled. “Wang Siqing, you should ask your father. He was the one who let me out.”
