743 Helping Someone Seize Power
Jiang Mingâs eyes darkened.
Wang Siqingâs arrogance came from how she was treated at the prime ministerâs residence.
Moreover, the prime ministerâs residence had achieved so much that even the king had to give in to them.
Wang Zishengâs father had even privately raised a group of elite soldiers.
In other words, if Wang Zishengâs father wanted to be the king, he could easily do so.
âQingqing, let her go. Sheâs so annoying. You donât want her to enjoy the status and treatment of the prime ministerâs residence, right?
âIf she were to marry into a hooliganâs family, it would be quite troublesome for the prime ministerâs residence, but if she were to marry into a commonerâs family, she would still have the chance to enjoy a good life.
âLooking 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 ministerâs residence.â
Wang Zishengâs father stepped forward. His eyes were fixed on Wang Siqing as he gently comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Wang Siqingâs expression immediately became happier.
She looked at Wang Zisheng arrogantly. âAlright then, let her enter the palace.â
Wang Zisheng watched all of this unfold indifferently.
Wang Siqing had always been the prime ministerâs favorite, while she was a nobody.
Wang Siqing was the one who had suggested that she be called the âyoung missâ 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 kingâs every move.
Jiang Mingâs 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 Zishengâs 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 ministerâs 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 Anâan did not understand. They quickly said, âWhy are you following the young lady of the prime ministerâs residence into the palace?â
Jiang Ming shook his head. âI have to go. I have something to do.â
Zhu Asi and Zhu Anâan looked at each other and did not say anything else. They just let Jiang Ming go.
After the ceremony, Wang Zisheng gave an order.
âWe must raid the entire Leng family!â
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom frowned. âMy beloved, this is not a good decision.â
The Leng residence and the prime ministerâs residence were in cahoots with each other. If they directly attacked the Leng residence, it was no different from attacking the prime ministerâs residence.
âDonât worry, Your Majesty. I will bear the consequences alone.â
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 ministerâs residence for so many years. Thus, they immediately became allies.
The king of the Qiqihar Kingdom laughed lightly. âAlright.â
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. âYour Majesty, General Leng is disobeying your orders!â
âKill him,â Wang Zisheng lay on the side chair and said slowly.
âYour Highness, the youngest daughter of the Wang family wants to see you,â the eunuch said again.
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Siqing barged in with a cold smile on her lips. âWang Zisheng, how dare you!â
Wang Zisheng slowly picked up a cloth handkerchief and wiped her hands. âMy sister, why do you say that?â
âWang Zisheng, do you think you can do whatever you want just because youâre the queen?â
Wang Siqing sneered. âDonât forget, the current power of the prime ministerâs residence isnât something the king can suppress!
âWang Zisheng, I advise you to treat the Leng family well. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!
âAlso, the people around you make me feel disgusted!â
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Zisheng and Jiang Ming in disgust and turned around to leave.
âWait!â
Normally, Wang Zisheng should be supporting Wang Siqing meekly, but now, Wang Zisheng was not willing.
âWhat do you want to say?â
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. âWang Zisheng, just you wait!â
She lifted her skirts and left aggressively.
On the second day after Wang Siqing left, Wang Zishengâs 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 Zishengâs side and tried his best to put in a good word for Wang Zisheng.
However, Wang Zishengâs 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. âWang Zisheng, look at how pitiful you are now. You wanted to touch General Leng, but what happened in the end? Youâre about to die.â
Wang Zisheng scoffed and completely ignored Wang Siqing.
This was the second time Wang Siqing saw Wang Zishengâs attitude and could not help but be anxious. âWang Zisheng, what kind of attitude is this? Believe it or not, Iâll kill you right now!â
âCome on, Iâm not afraid of death!â
Wang Zisheng glared at Wang Siqing.
Wang Siqing was forced to retreat by the pressure. Then, she clapped her hands and laughed. âYouâve already become a worthless stray dog, yet youâre still struggling on your deathbed.â
She was still smiling. âWang Zisheng, youâre really funny.â
Then, the smile on her face disappeared.
A guard came over and opened the door. He shouted at Wang Zisheng. âWang Zisheng, you can leave now.â
Wang Siqing could not believe it. She asked the guard, âWhat happened? Wasnât Wang Zisheng set to be beheaded?â
The guard bowed and said, âMs. 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.â
âHow is this possible?â
Wang Siqing took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. Then, she looked at Wang Zisheng fiercely. âWang Zisheng, what did you do?â
The guards had already opened the cell door. Wang Zisheng used her hand to brush off the dust on her body and smiled. âWang Siqing, you should ask your father. He was the one who let me out.â
