Chapter 289 Willingness to Give
At the Qian residence, Qian Qianyi asked, "Brother Hou, how did things go?"
Hou Xun said with a smile, "Brother Qian, you can rest assured. The Emperor has already quietly entered the Tian residence. That mad dog Wang Wenzhou is doomed."
Qian Qianyi asked, "Has the person who knew about this been dealt with?"
Hou Xun nodded and replied, "After the steward of the Tian family took Wang Wenzhou to his room, he committed suicide by poisoning himself. No one else knows the inside story except him."
Qian Qianyi said with a smile, "That's good. With His Majesty's wisdom, he will surely understand afterward that Wang Wenzhou was framed. It's just that when people are angry, they don't think that much. Wang Wenzhou will not see the sun rise tomorrow."
"Haha..." With their worries gone, everyone burst into laughter.
Hou Xun's plan was meticulous. He drugged Wang Wenzhou, and everyone knew Wang Wenzhou was a lecher. Once Wang Wenzhou entered Consort Tian's room, he would definitely have sex with her.
Hou Xun's calculations were correct. Next, Chongzhen went to catch the adulterer. Wang Wenzhou was unable to explain himself and was killed in a fit of rage by the furious Chongzhen. Or perhaps Wang Wenzhou, having committed such a heinous act, felt ashamed to live and committed suicide in despair.
Hou Xun and the others never imagined that Wang Wenzhou was a time traveler, and that he had no regard for his father or ruler. Even if he slept with his friend's girlfriend, Wang Wenzhou would not commit suicide.
Instead of committing suicide, Wang Wenzhou fought with Zhu Youjian.
"Slap!" Wang Wenzhou slapped Zhu Youjian across the face and said angrily, "Brother Zhu, don't be angry! Let me say a few words first!"
"Bang!" Zhu Youjian retaliated with a punch to Wang Wenzhou, angrily rebuking him, "Wang Wenzhou, you deserve to die!"
Tian Xiuying was stunned. Wang Wenzhou was incredibly audacious; he actually dared to lay a hand on the Emperor. Tian Xiuying froze for a moment, then suddenly wiped away her tears, stood up, and rushed towards Wang Wenzhou.
Tian Xiuying grabbed Wang Wenzhou's leg and said to Zhu Youjian, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. Please execute Wang Wenzhou and then grant me permission to commit suicide."
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, don't talk about death so easily! It was just a drunken slap, just treat it as a wet dream."
"Shameless!" Tian Xiuying angrily rebuked.
"Let go!" Zhu Youjian tried to break free from the sword-wielding hand, but Wang Wenzhou held him tightly.
Damn it, if this couple attacks together, I'm doomed if I don't go all out. Thinking of this, Wang Wenzhou kicked Tian Xiuying away, grabbed Zhu Youjian by the collar, and threw Zhu Youjian to the ground with a back throw.
Wang Wenzhou picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground and pointed it directly at Zhu Youjian's throat.
Zhu Youjian was stunned. He truly had never imagined that Wang Wenzhou would dare to do such a thing. Did Wang Wenzhou dare to commit regicide?
"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Wang Wenzhou slapped Zhu Youjian three times in a row, cursing, "Zhu Youjian, are you fucking stupid? Calm down first, and then use your pig brain to think about this!"
Zhu Youjian was stunned. In all his life, he had only ever been slapped on the hand by his teacher, and had never been hit like this before.
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Zhu Youjian, I admit I'm a womanizer! But I consider you a brother. If I knew she was your girl, would I sleep with her? Besides, even if we weren't good brothers, you're the emperor, and I'm your subject, your imperial concubine. Would I dare to sleep with her? I've been framed!"
Zhu Youjian recovered from his anger and thought about it. It was true! Even if Wang Wenzhou was lustful, he was afraid of death! Besides, Zhu Youjian knew Consort Tian. They were deeply in love, and Consort Tian would never cheat on him.
Wang Wenzhou continued, "Brother Zhu, I really don't know her, I didn't know she was your girl! Alright, I'm done! No matter what, it's all my fault, and now, I have no choice but to die! Damn it, even if I die, I can't atone for my sins!"
Wang Wenzhou started acting again, hoping to move Zhu Youjian with his sincerity.
Wang Wenzhou held the sword to his neck and said, "I have no other requests, and I have no face to ask Brother Zhu for anything. I just hate those who framed me and acted unjustly. I beg you, Brother Zhu, whether for my sake or for your own, you must find out who the mastermind is and exterminate their entire family."
Zhu Youjian frowned deeply. He didn't doubt Wang Wenzhou's words; Wang Wenzhou had definitely been framed. But now that things had come to this, he didn't know what to do. Should he let Wang Wenzhou die, allowing the framer to succeed, or should he let Wang Wenzhou go?
Zhu Youjian was in a dilemma! His beloved concubine had been slept with by Wang Wenzhou, and he couldn't vent his anger without killing Wang Wenzhou!
Wang Wenzhou frowned deeply. "Damn it, I've made myself perfectly clear. Zhu Youjian, you're not an idiot, you should know I've been framed! Quickly say 'Stop!' and I won't blame you."
Seeing Zhu Youjian remain silent, Wang Wenzhou continued to deceive him, saying, "Brother Zhu, I have a request before I die."
"Speak!" Zhu Youjian said coldly.
"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou wished he could stab Zhu Youjian to death with his sword. You bastard, you're such a jerk! As the saying goes, brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. My little brother just accidentally wore your clothes, is that all it takes to kill him?
With deep emotion, Wang Wenzhou pleaded, "After my death, I beg Brother Zhu to spare my wife and children. They are innocent!"
"I agree!" Zhu Youjian said, emphasizing each word.
Damn it! Why aren't you stopping me yet? Wang Wenzhou continued to deceive, "I hate it! I hate that I can't see the Ming Dynasty regain its national prestige! I hate that I've been framed for being disloyal and unjust!"
"Haha!" Zhu Youjian suddenly burst into laughter, "Then why don't you just die!"
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Brother Zhu, how about we make a deal? I'll let you sleep with my Yuanyuan once, and you won't let me die, okay?"
"Wang Wenzhou, you are shameless!" Zhu Youjian said viciously.
Wang Wenzhou muttered to himself, "I have so many beautiful babies at home, how could I bear to die! Brother Zhu, I beg you, if I don't die, I will definitely be able to assist you in restoring the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and you will be the restorer of the Ming Dynasty. Brother Zhu, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the nation, your daughter has already agreed to let me sleep with her, so it's no big deal for me to sleep with your wife too!"
"Heh heh!" Zhu Youjian chuckled in anger; Wang Wenzhou was truly shameless. He had long since recovered from his rage and, after weighing the pros and cons, he couldn't bear to see Wang Wenzhou die. If they couldn't make peace with the Tartars, the Ming Dynasty might very well be dragged down and destroyed by the rebels and the Tartars.
Zhu Youjian said, "Consort Tian suddenly fell seriously ill and died. There will be no more Tian Xiuying in the world. There will only be a woman named Wang Ying, who was Wang Wenzhou's concubine."
"Thump!" Wang Wenzhou immediately knelt down and solemnly said, "Brother Zhu, I will remember your great kindness and your magnanimity! I will definitely serve the Ming Dynasty to the death!"
"I have no choice but to die!" Tian Xiuying quickly stood up and banged her head against the wall.
Wang Wenzhou grabbed Tian Xiuying's leg and pulled her to the ground.
"Alas..." Zhu Youjian sighed and said, "Wang Wenzhou, I will give you two more days. If you cannot bring about peace talks, I will exterminate your entire family."
After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he glanced at Tian Xiuying with reluctance, clutched his chest, and left without looking back. He was heartbroken; he was truly devastated, but for the sake of the country and the dignity of the imperial family, he had no choice. This was the best option he could make after weighing the pros and cons.
"You have to give up something to gain something!" Zhu Youjian thought as he walked. "If I hadn't ascended the throne, I would definitely be living a more relaxed and happy life than I am now. But Heaven chose me. I'd rather be a dog in my next life than an emperor!"
