Chapter 2095 No room
Everyone was frightened by Li Shen's aura. Of course, they had heard of King Ji's reputation.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, what we did was indeed wrong, but we had no choice. We did not deceive the Imperial Concubine, and everything we did was for the Wei family.
no......"
"Alright, I don't want to hear your explanation anymore."
Wei Huaijing wanted to continue explaining but was interrupted by Li Shen.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I don't know how to calm the prince's anger and give the exclusive rights back to us."
Wei Ke's son Wei Hongji asked, saying that it was useless to say anything at this time and they could only negotiate terms.
“There are no conditions. What I have said will never change. It is impossible for you to obtain the exclusive rights.
People must be responsible for the mistakes they make. It’s not like I haven’t given you chances.
I asked Wei Siyan and the others to repeatedly warn you not to disturb my mother, but you turned a deaf ear to me. This shows that you do not take my words seriously and are a blasphemy to me.
What’s more, the situation this time is even worse. You actually asked my mother to recommend you when Your Majesty was seriously ill.
Do you know how serious the consequences will be?
If you offend His Majesty, you will be punished. Have you ever thought about it? At this time, the new emperor is about to ascend the throne. What do you think the prince will think?
I strongly suspect that this is a deliberate scheme to frame me and my mother."
The anger on Li Shen's face did not diminish but intensified. The consequences of this incident were too serious. He only knew it after Wang Xuance analyzed the situation for him.
Originally, he was only angry because he disturbed his mother. But now it's not just that.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, it is unfair. How dare we frame His Highness Prince Ji and the Imperial Concubine? We really..."
Wei Hongji was so frightened that he quickly explained,
"Enough! I said I don't want to hear your explanation anymore. You don't even consider my mother as your own, so you don't consider the consequences.
You only think about yourselves. You think my mother won't mind, but you are wrong. Her son does mind.
For the sake of my mother, I will not bother with you. I will just take back the things I gave you. You should be grateful.
If it were someone else, do you think I would let it go?"
Li Shen finished speaking and took a sip of tea. Everyone was silent. It was obvious that King Ji had made up his mind and it was useless for them to say anything.
If it were someone else, they would want to be tougher, but they don't dare to do so towards King Ji.
"Come here, see the guests off!"
Li Shen stood up, gave an order, and walked to the back.
"Your Highness Prince Ji..." Wei Deqian wanted to call Li Shen, but Li Shen suddenly stopped. He turned around and said to everyone:
"By the way, I warn you again, do not disturb my mother again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude and burning your Weiqu.
This king keeps his word."
After saying that, Li Shen left without looking back.
Only a group of people were left standing in the hall, looking at each other.
"What should we do?" Wei Daijia asked Wei Yuanfang beside him softly. They both belonged to the Xiaoyao public housing.
"I don't know. There is no way right now. You can see that King Ji has a firm attitude. It is obvious that he wants to teach us a lesson." Wei Yuanfang shook his head helplessly.
Neither of them dared to say a word.
"Si Yan, what should we do? How about you help persuade His Royal Highness Prince Ji?" Wadeqian was a little anxious. This negotiation was not successful.
"Uncle, you have seen the attitude of His Royal Highness Prince Ji. Even if we go, it will be useless. If we anger Prince Ji, I'm afraid the punishment will not be this way."
Wei Siyan shook his head.
"But...are we just going to give up like this? It's hundreds of thousands of strings of cash a year." Wei Huaijing was a little unwilling.
"Humph! This is all your fault. I told you guys a long time ago that you should not act against King Ji's wishes.
You all know that Prince Ji is filial to the Imperial Concubine, and it's no problem for him to give concessions to us at ordinary times, but you should never ask the Imperial Concubine to make a recommendation at this time.
Don’t you really know what the consequences will be?”
Wei Hongji finally couldn't help but start to complain. He was also an official appointed by the court, so he naturally understood the consequences of doing such a thing when the emperor was seriously ill.
He understood more clearly why Xi Juan did this. Just as Prince Ji said, after using up the last bit of Concubine Wei's value, she would be of no use after His Majesty passed away.
"Wei Hongji, you were also involved, and you also had a list of names. What qualifications do you have to criticize us?"
Wei Huaijing immediately retorted.
"Everyone, this is Prince Ji's Mansion. If you have nothing to do, please leave." Wei Fugui stood at the door and looked at the Wei family members coldly.
Although he didn't understand anything, he could listen. He heard what King Ji said just now. These people actually wanted to harm his master.
"Don't blame me, Steward Wei. We will leave immediately." Wei Siyan said to Wei Fugui, and then said to the others:
"Everyone, let's talk about it outside."
After hearing this, the group had no choice but to follow Wei Fugui out of Prince Ji's Mansion.
Wei Siyan clasped his fists and saluted to the few people:
"We have something else to do at home, so we'll take our leave now." After saying that, the four brothers got on the carriage.
"By the way, don't forget what His Royal Highness Prince Ji said. Don't go to the Imperial Concubine again. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear His Royal Highness Prince Ji's wrath. I hope you will take care of yourself."
After Wesley taunted a few people before getting on the carriage, the carriage slowly moved forward.
Watching the carriage of the Wei brothers go away, Wei Deqian asked:
"Yuan Fang, what do you think?"
Wei Yuanfang shook his head:
"Uncle, things have come to this point and there is nothing we can do to save the situation. This is the punishment His Royal Highness Prince Ji has imposed on us.
Let’s go back and think about how to deal with this matter.
A large number of merchants entering our territory will have a great impact on us, so it is important to protect our interests."
"Yes, it is important to protect our interests first, and we can consider other matters later." Wei Ke nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"It's a pity that Wei Siyan and the others didn't speak up for us."
"Of course they won't speak for us. Their Yungongfang has not been implicated. It seems that Prince Ji still cares a lot about the royal concubine's maternal family."
Wei Hongji said as he looked at the carriage going away.
"Do you think that if we ask the Royal Concubine to plead for mercy, will His Royal Highness Prince Ji forgive us?" Wade asked with narrowed eyes.
"Eh? We, Xiaoyao Gongfang, will not be involved in this matter. Have you forgotten what His Royal Highness Prince Ji said just now?
We don't want to bear the wrath of King Ji. My two uncles, if there's nothing else, we'll go ahead.
Whatever you decide is none of our business. Goodbye."
After hearing what Wei Deqian said, Wei Daijia immediately cut off ties with them, then hurriedly pulled Wei Yuanfang into the carriage and drove away.
(I'm a little stuck, please give me some inspiration.)
