Chapter 259: 259

Chapter 259

Duan Wang Fei’s words were resounding, that after saying these words, the imperial study became even quieter that they could hear a pin drops.

Even Zhou Xin who had been in the palace for decades and had seen a lot was so startled at this moment that he slipped his hand and almost lost his grip on the whisk as he looked at Duan Wang Fei in shock.

Duan Wangye was no different, he couldn’t believe his ears and looked at Duan Wang Fei in disbelief. In his opinion, Duan Wang Fei was letting her anger talk.

Alas, the wangfei who was always been dignified and steady, was making a fool out of herself this time.

It was Duan Wang Fei’s servants’ fault, who had been whispering nonsense in her ears all day long which caused Duan Wang Fei to have a deep misunderstanding with his eldest son and his wife.

Duan Wangye sighed, stretched out his hand to support Duan Wang Fei, and said, “Wangfei, are you also convinced that it was the heir’s consort who has done this?”

“The heir’s consort and you were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years and she had been filial to you, so how could she do such a treacherous thing.”

“Wangfei, you…”

Duan Wangye wanted to say something else, but Duan Wang Fei didn’t want to listen any further, she coldly shook off his hand and only looked at the emperor as she repeated.

“Your Majesty, the emperor, I your subject want to divorce the wangye.”

Her face was slightly pale, but her back was still straight, and even though her body was weak due to poisoning, she did not waiver the slightest.

Five days ago, when she learned from her son that she was in fact poisoned, Duan Wang Fei’s whole being was stupefied but was not surprised when her son told her that it was the heir’s consort who used the Buddhist monk to give her the poisoned Jiuhe incense.

As what she was afraid of, only Duan Wangye thinks that his heir was good and a filial child…

For Duan Wang Fei, the eldest son could be regarded as the child she had watched grow up.

She has been married to Duan Wangye for more than ten years but was not able to conceive even after seeing many physicians saying that it would be difficult for her to have a child. But wangye has many concubines and children, and although she does not treat these children as her own, she really loves them and never treats them unfairly.

Later, when Gu Chenzhi was seventeen years old, he was established as the heir apparent, and she also gave birth to Zezhi after that.

Zezhi was clearly the legitimate son, but he was overwhelmed by the concubine-born and eldest son of Duan Wangye right after he was born, this, of course, made her somewhat unhappy, but the situation forced him to establish an heir at that time, so she also accepted it. All she wanted when Zezhi was growing up was only to make contributions to Zezhi’s career and earn a title for himself even if there was no Duan Wangfu nor the heir’s title.

But…

As Zezhi was growing up, the heir was unable to tolerate him more and more, day by day.

When Zezhi was fourteen years old, he entered the military camp, and from the age of fourteen to seventeen, he fought against the enemy in blood on the battlefield and defeated Xidi again and again which gave him several achievements and garnered so much praise from the generals.

However, wangye suddenly recalled him to Luo’an City, and who succeeded Zezhi’s achievements? It was the heir.

It was only three months after that, they defeated Xidi and greatly wounded him. After that, he did not violate the border again for several years, and it was the heir who was instead known to have made “great achievements”.

At that time, in the face of her questioning, Duan Wangye speaks forcefully and with justice.

“Wangfei, Zezhi is already the legitimate son, if he achieves another great feat, how should the heir handle himself?”

“The eldest son is the heir of the Duan Wangfu, there cannot be two masters in the military, otherwise it will cause turmoil and a chaotic military is not a good image.”

“Ai. wangfei, you should understand.”

At that time, Duan Wang Fei’s heart chilled as she listened.

According to Duan Wangye, it was not enough for Zezhi to give away his legitimate title as the heir apparent, but in order to ensure the “supremacy” of his eldest son, it was necessary to make him never have the chance to rise in his life?!

Even though three years had passed, Duan Wang Fei still couldn’t control the resentment she had whenever she thought of that scene at that time, as if a cluster of flames were burning her entire body.

“Wangfei,” said Duan Wangye helplessly as he sigh, “you have always been sensible before.”

“You have been poisoned, and benwang* is also very anxious.”

(*this king- a formal way to address themselves)

“Benwang was not trying to protect anyone, but the truth of this matter has not been found out yet so how can we convict the heir’s consort with just words from a servant?”

“Forget it, we still have to take care of your body, so stop making trouble. Zezhi why don’t you take your mother back yet.” Duan Wangye turned to look at Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi stands with his hands down, as if he didn’t hear anything.

He gave a faint smile to Duan Wang Fei, this smile was gentle, yet clearly expresses meaning, that he respected Duan Wang Fei’s decision.

If his mother wanted to stay in the Duang Wangfu, then he would solve the hidden dangers in the fu for her.

And if his mother decided to divorce, then let her divorce!

Gu Zezhi’s support made Duan Wang Fei’s determination stronger. Asking for a divorce today was not a whim of hers, but what happened tonight made her completely determined.

Duan Wang Fei knew very well in heart: he never said that he never love Gu Zezhi but whenever the heir was involved, he would stand by him unreservedly.

The heir ordered people to chase and kill Zezhi, but even if the evidence was conclusive, wangye believes that the heir sent those people to protect Zezhi secretly.

She was poisoned, and Wang momo just mentioned that it has something to do with the heir’s consort, and what did Duan Wangye do? He decided that the heir’s consort was innocent without even thinking about it and that someone must have schemed against the heir’s consort.

Since in Duan Wangye’s heart, only his heir apparent was important and the lives of the mother and son were insignificant, what else does she have to do with Duan Wangfu?

“Wangye,” said Duan Wang Fei with a calm expression, “I am tired, let’s divorce so we can get over this and go home.”

Duan Wangye and his heir could just live their lives.

Dismayed and discouragement could be clearly heard in Duan Wang Fei’s voice, even the emperor could see that she was not just talking nonsense but had made up her mind.

The emperor’s lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, not knowing what to say.

In the more than 100 years since the beginning of the Daqi dynasty, there has never been a divorce in the clan. Not only the clan, but even those noble families, and even repudiation was extremely rare.

The emperor looked back and forth at Duan Wangye, Duan Wang Fei then at Gu Zezhi, he guessed that Duan Wang Fei might want to follow Gu Zezhi to stay in the capital, but never thought that the first thing she said was to divorce Duan Wangye.

“Imperial uncle,” said the emperor looking at Duan Wangye hesitantly, “look at this ……”

“No, I will not divorce!” Duan Wangye was also a bit flustered this time, he hurriedly went to pull Duan Wang Fei, trying to explain to her properly, but once again he was lightly flung away.

Duan Wangye: “!”

At this moment, his heart sank little by little and finally realized that wangfei probably really wants to divorce him.

They have been married for nearly forty years, and wangfei has always done her best to manage their fu for him and raise his children. In Duan Wangye’s heart, wangfei was different from the side concubines and concubines in the house.

Obviously, they have respected each other for so many years and lived well. Why did she want to divorce him now?

It’s all the fault of the evil person who poisoned wangfei!

Duan Wangye thought to himself and said again.

“Wangfei, benwang assures you that this matter will be thoroughly investigated and we will find the culprit!”

A bit more seriousness could be heard in Duan Wangye’s voice this time.

“If you don’t believe me, benwang will immediately call the heir and his consort to the capital, and questioned them in front of the emperor, to find out clearly!”

“Benwang will definitely not protect anyone.”

Duan Wangye said in a pleading tone, “Don’t divorce me, okay, wangfei, let’s go back first and talk about it when we get back ……”

But even after pleading, Duan Wang Fei still did not waver in the slightest and only said, “This woman has already made up her mind.”

“Wangfei, think about Zezhi ah.” Duan Wangye could only pull his son, “If you and I get divorced, wouldn’t Zezhi be in an awkward position in the royal family! Zezhi, what do you think?”

Gu Zezhi smiled: “Unlikely.”

“……” Duan Wang was so angry and speechless at the same time.

Emperor: “….”
