Chapter 127 The Evil Deeds of the Japanese
Chapter 127 The Evil Deeds of the Japanese
Although Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui had heard before that Wang Xinyao had a husband who married into her family, they never expected that this person would be their own nephew, the current Crown Prince!
This was simply unbelievable. Even if Wang Xinyao was truly exceptional, how could His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, condescend to marry into her family? Furthermore, she was a widow...
Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui were both dissatisfied. Even if they agreed, if the emperor knew about this, he would definitely be furious.
Wang Xinyao narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly glanced at the expressions of the two Yang masters. She thought to herself, as expected, it was exactly as she had expected.
Even Lord Yang, who had once received his generous help and was very understanding, was like this, let alone the almighty Emperor.
Thinking of this, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but sigh softly, her heart filled with helplessness and loss.
However, she was not discouraged by this. Instead, she secretly made up her mind to work harder in the future. Only by becoming better could she have a chance to change these people's inherent views on the so-called "class"!
Zhao Haoxuan pretended not to notice their expressions and just held Wang Xinyao's hand tighter.
He continued, "Uncle, Xinyao is an outstanding alchemist. Tell me, is there any resource in this world that can compare to having an alchemist by your side?"
When Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui heard this, they nodded involuntarily. They both benefited a lot.
However, even so, they still felt that it was inappropriate for the prince to marry a widow, but they really could not say anything against it.
"Ms. Wang is indeed excellent!" Yang Chenhui could only nod and praise her.
Yang Chende thought to himself that their marriage was a foregone conclusion. Since the Crown Prince liked her, and she was an alchemist, she would be a great help to him. Once his status as Crown Prince was restored, he could make her a concubine. Furthermore, putting aside her widow status, he thought she was a good girl and that the two of them would be a good match.
Thinking of this, Yang Chende immediately said, "Miss Wang, I'll leave the Crown Prince's affairs to you from now on!"
"Don't worry, Lord Yang. I will do my best to help Brother Zhao!" Wang Xinyao was delighted to see that although they did not agree, they did not object anymore, and she replied immediately.
Zhao Haoxuan seemed to have remembered something important and quickly asked, "Uncle, do you know if my father had any other children before I was born?"
Faced with this sudden question, Yang Chende couldn't help but be stunned.
He thought carefully for a long time before answering uncertainly, "Hmm... As far as I know, it should have never happened before!"
However, when he noticed Zhao Haoxuan's suspicious expression, he thought that the prince might have already known something and that was why he asked him.
So, he quickly added an explanation, "It is said that your father and the former Prime Minister's daughter were childhood sweethearts, and the relationship between them was very deep!"
This was the first time Zhao Haoxuan had heard of this, and he was genuinely surprised. He had never imagined that his father had such a little-known past.
Seeing Zhao Haoxuan remain silent, Yang Chende continued, "Twenty-three years ago, a large number of Japanese suddenly appeared on our border like ghosts. Wielding sharp blades and with ferocious expressions, they launched a brutal campaign of burning, killing, and looting against our innocent and kind-hearted people. These Japanese were simply ruthless and committed all sorts of evil. Wherever they went, there was widespread suffering, causing countless casualties among the people in the border areas!"
Hearing this, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but frown, a surge of uncontrollable anger welling up in her heart. She thought to herself, "Isn't this Japan just the modern-day Japanese devils? I never thought their wolfish nature would remain unchanged from ancient times to the present!"
Yang Chende continued, "The late emperor was furious. After an in-depth investigation, he discovered that it was these Japanese who had obtained detailed topographical maps and troop deployment information of our country. The culprit who led to this serious consequence was unexpectedly the former Prime Minister, who was in a very powerful position at the time!"
At this point, Yang Chende's eyes seemed to burn with rage, and his voice unconsciously rose. "Because of his shameless betrayal and betrayal, even to this day, the people in the border areas still live in fear and trepidation. Thanks to our topographical maps, these Japanese know our border areas like the back of their hands. This undoubtedly brings unprecedented pressure and severe challenges to the generals responsible for guarding the border!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was filled with righteous indignation, their eyes wide open, and they hated the former prime minister who sold out his country for personal gain. At the same time, they were also extremely indignant at the evil deeds of the Japanese.
Yang Chende continued, "The late emperor, in a rage, temporarily killed the former prime minister's entire family. The then crown prince, now the emperor, begged the late emperor for a long time in the imperial study to save his beloved. The late emperor finally agreed to spare her life, but on the condition that he had no further contact with this woman!"
"However, that woman was so shameless that she used drugs on the emperor, who was the crown prince at the time, and had an affair with him! When the late emperor learned about this, he was furious and wanted to execute her immediately to uphold the law. The empress dowager and the emperor personally came forward to plead for her, which allowed her to luckily save her life." Yang Chende was a little excited, after all, the emperor was his brother-in-law.
"The Queen Mother pleaded for that woman because, firstly, she had watched her grow up and had some affection for her. Secondly, she knew the Emperor was also deeply in love with her and couldn't bear to see him saddened by this matter." Yang Chende continued, recalling, "After this incident, the Emperor finally gave up on her. Not long after she was expelled from the palace, news of her death spread."
Yang Chenhui also said: "Back then, this matter caused a great uproar in the city and was known to everyone. Almost everyone who was a little older knew about this past. It was only after the emperor ascended the throne that everyone dared not speak out!"
After hearing this story, everyone present sighed and shook their heads.
Wang Xinyao couldn't help herself and said, "This woman ended up like this, it was all her own fault... But then again, since that woman is dead, then where did the girl who was related to Brother Zhao come from?"
