Chapter 159: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Chapter 159: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
When Wen Yang arrived at the Golden Palace, there were already many ministers in the palace.
The moment Wen Yang stepped into the hall, the ministers stopped talking and turned their attention to the princess who had come all the way from Ling Kingdom.
Yuan Wenhe, Marquis of Guangping, who was casually sipping wine in the crowd, was also uncontrollably drawn to the scene.
As the youngest son of a general, he used to be a second-generation rich man who had accomplished nothing. However, since his sister became the empress dowager, his social status and class have also risen. He was granted the title of Marquis of Guangping without any merit, which caused dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court.
So at the banquet, no one wanted to pay attention to him, and he could only drink alone in boredom.
When he saw Wen Yang appear at this moment, a look of surprise immediately flashed in Yuan Wenhe's eyes. He originally thought the banquet was boring and wanted to leave early, but at this moment his eyes were fixed on Wen Yang and lingered for several times, and he was reluctant to move away even a little.
Wen Yang walked to the center of the hall without looking around, and saluted gracefully to the empress dowager and the little emperor at the top.
The Queen Mother on the stage nodded slightly, "Princess Wenyang, you have come from afar and have worked hard. On behalf of the Jiang Kingdom Royal Family, I welcome you."
Wen Yang blurted out his prepared words: "It is my honor to contribute my humble efforts to the peace between the two countries."
The Queen Mother nodded, pointed to a place below her left, and said to Wen Yang, "You can sit here."
After Wen Yang bowed again, he walked calmly to the place where the Queen Mother pointed.
When Yuan Wenhe saw Wen Yang sitting down, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
He put down the wine glass in his hand, lowered his head and carefully tidied his clothes, then slowly walked towards Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was just about to pick up the tea from Qiuju's table and pour her a cup of tea when he saw a dark shadow cast on the table.
She looked up and saw the face of a strange man.
Yuan Wenhe smiled slightly when he saw Wen Yang raise her head. "Princess Wenyang, I am Yuan Wenhe, Marquis of Guangping. I am honored to have the privilege of meeting your stunning beauty today. On behalf of the Jiang Kingdom's royal family, I once again welcome you to Jiang Kingdom."
Wen Yang looked at the person in front of her calmly. She found that although the man seemed polite, there was a hint of greed in his eyes.
She curled the corners of her lips and replied in a cold tone: "Thank you."
Yuan Wenhe didn't care about Wen Yang's cold attitude. He still smiled and said, "Princess Wen Yang, I am not only the Marquis of Guangping, but also the younger brother of the Empress Dowager. If you need any help, please feel free to ask me."
When this man called himself Marquis of Guangping just now, Wen Yang didn't think there was anything wrong.
Now that she had said this, she remembered that Ling Han had once told her that the Queen Mother's brother had been canonized as a Marquis without any merit...
Wen Yang couldn't help but sneer in his heart that a person with no achievements dared to show off his status in such a blatant way after getting the benefits.
But she nodded slightly, "Thank you for the kindness of Marquis Guangping. If you need anything, I will definitely trouble you."
At this moment, a sound of clearing throat suddenly came from the high platform. Yuan Wenhe looked up instantly and met the Queen Mother's scrutinizing eyes. He was shocked, fearing that his intentions would be discovered.
His expression froze, and he quickly lowered his eyes to Wen Yang who was sitting below him and said, "I have something important to do, so I won't disturb the princess for now."
After saying that, he turned and left, with a bit of haste in his steps.
Wen Yang just glanced at Yuan Wenhe's hurried steps and then looked away indifferently.
......
After Yuan Wenhe returned to his position, his greed grew even more.
Just now he took a look at her from a distance and couldn't take his eyes off her. Now that he looked closer, he felt that Wen Yang was even more beautiful.
Thinking that such a girl would marry the five-year-old emperor and let this beautiful girl waste her time alone in the deep palace, Yuan Wenhe felt that it was a real waste of talent!
A woman like this should be cherished and loved by a mature and heroic man like him!
Yuan Wenhe felt very annoyed at the thought of this person who was right in front of him but whom he wanted to touch but couldn't. He picked up a pot of wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he made up an excuse and temporarily left the Golden Palace, preparing to go out for some fresh air.
There were dim lights all around. In order to get away from this atmosphere, Yuan Wenhe set foot on a dark path.
At this moment, the faint moonlight is shining on the path, the flowers and trees are lush, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and you can faintly hear some faint music coming from the Golden Palace.
As Yuan Wenhe walked, he gradually felt the alcohol getting to him and his steps began to stagger slightly.
Faintly, the figure of Wen Yang, whom he had just met in the Golden Palace, emerged in his mind again, and a nameless evil fire suddenly surged in his heart.
Just then, he saw a graceful palace maid walking slowly towards him.
Perhaps it was due to the alcohol, but he actually felt that the appearance of this palace maid looked particularly beautiful in the hazy night, and his unrequited desire for Princess Wen Yang suddenly burned even more fiercely.
He couldn't touch Princess Wenyang for the time being, but he could still touch a mere palace maid. After all, he had raped many palace maids in the past, and nothing had ever happened...
After making up his mind, Yuan Wenhe no longer restrained the evil thoughts in his heart. He was going to take the palace maid to the bushes nearby to vent his lust!
He walked slowly and approached the beautiful palace maid with erratic steps. However, just as he was about to reach out and grab the palace maid's arm, the palace maid suddenly turned around, raised something in her hand, and smiled at him.
Before Yuan Wenhe could see clearly what the palace maid was holding in her hand, he heard a "bang" sound above his head.
After several seconds, he felt a sharp pain in his head, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground...
After seeing the man fall, the maid put away the smile on her face and said to a dark corner: "Master, there is a hostage."
