Chapter 1115 I want to seize the throne!

Ye Mingsheng glanced at Shen Yutong, then locked onto Jing Cheng beside her. Looking at his second son, Ye Mingsheng's eyes softened and he waved his hand and said:

“Jingcheng, come here…”

Perhaps because he did not have much contact with Ye Mingsheng on weekdays, Jing Cheng seemed a little timid at the moment. In response to Ye Mingsheng's greeting, he did not go over immediately, but glanced at his mother Shen Yutong beside him.

Feeling his son's inquiring gaze, Shen Yutong nodded slightly, then let go of Jingren's hand and pushed him towards Ye Mingsheng. Seeing this, Jingcheng came to Ye Mingsheng and whispered:
"Daddy!"

Seeing the timid look of the little guy, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel a little pity for him. Although Jingcheng was his second son, compared with Jingren and Jingxuan, Ye Mingsheng didn't pay much attention to him.

Although there are many reasons for this situation, Ye Mingsheng has to admit that it is indeed difficult for him as a father to treat all his children equally!

Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly at Shen Yutong, then held the little guy in his arms and walked into the house. Although Shen Yutong was reluctant to let Ye Mingsheng come over at first, at Ye Mingsheng's insistence, Shen Yutong prepared a large table of food.

Ye Mingsheng originally planned to take this opportunity to test Jingcheng's homework and see how he had been doing in recent times, but seeing how timid Jingcheng was when facing him, Ye Mingsheng finally gave up the idea.

After all, he heard that Jingren and Jingcheng played together whenever they had free time, so Jingcheng’s homework would not be much better, so Ye Mingsheng didn’t want to make himself uncomfortable...
After finishing his meal, Ye Mingsheng forced himself to play some small games like Gobang and building blocks with Jingren, despite his tired body.

During the game, Jing Cheng gradually relaxed and was no longer as shy and timid as when he first met Ye Mingsheng. After playing for about half an hour, it was getting late and Jing Cheng began to yawn. Ye Mingsheng then asked the maidservant beside him to take Jing Cheng back to bed.

Because he was already exhausted after a day's work, and he forced himself to play with Jingcheng for a while, Ye Mingsheng really wanted to go to bed and rest.

But because Shen Yutong was taking a bath now and the main business of seeing her today had not been done yet, Ye Mingsheng sat on the chair, closed his eyes and dozed off.

About half an incense stick later, Shen Yutong returned to the room after taking a bath. Although she said that she didn't want Ye Mingsheng to come, Shen Yutong's body was still very honest.

Just now, taking the opportunity of taking a shower, Shen Yutong also put on a layer of light makeup to make herself look more charming.

However, Shen Yutong, who was prepared with mixed feelings, returned to the room and saw Ye Mingsheng who seemed to be asleep on the chair, with a look of loss in her beautiful eyes.

Although she came to Ye Mingsheng by accident, the passing of these years and the birth of her son Jingcheng made Shen Yutong completely accept her fate...
Even though Ye Mingsheng was a little cold towards her, to be honest, Shen Yutong was still full of expectations for Ye Mingsheng. After all, every woman wanted to marry a great hero, and now with the halo of power, Ye Mingsheng seemed to have become the dream lover of most girls in the world!
With the birth of her son Jingcheng, Shen Yutong's expectations reached their peak. She hoped that Ye Mingsheng could be nicer to her and show more love to her and the child!

Unfortunately, Shen Yutong's idea did not go as he wished. As the leader of the Fengwu Army, Ye Mingsheng focused most of his energy on dealing with various military and political affairs.

As for the remaining little energy, Shen Yutong still needs to face the competition from Ye Mingsheng's other women. Although Shen Yutong is also as beautiful as a flower, who can enter the Ye Mansion and become Ye Mingsheng's bedside woman is not as beautiful as a flower and beautiful as a fairy?

Shen Yutong does not have the emotional foundation like Pei Zhixiu, the status of An Miaoyi, the family of Murong Qingwu, and she is not as open-minded as Bai Yuanyuan and Jinyu. Therefore, Shen Yutong, who lacks core competitiveness in the competition, can only be increasingly marginalized in the female competition in the Ye Mansion!

Although she was marginalized, Shen Yutong was still the wife of the Ye family and had given birth to a son for Ye Mingsheng. Therefore, Shen Yutong and Jing Cheng’s food, clothing and daily expenses were guaranteed. Although An Miaoyi, who was in charge of managing the Ye family, disliked her, she did not deduct her expenses...
Originally, if things had continued to develop in this way, Shen Yutong and Jingren's life in the Ye Mansion would not be particularly good, but it would basically be very comfortable!
However, although she was implicated by her father and fell into the opera world, Shen Yutong is still the daughter of an official at heart. She, like An Miaoyi, Murong Qingwu, and Bai Yuanyuan, has ideas about her children's future!

But unlike An Miaoyi who has the support of the Cui family, Murong Qingwu and Bai Yuanyuan each have the support of their own families, Shen Yutong, whose family has suffered a disaster, can be said to be alone!
But we have to say that Shen Yutong is still very capable. Through some rhetoric and means, she successfully persuaded the Yuan family to agree to arrange a marriage between Yuan Song's niece and Jing Cheng!

Shen Yutong was very much looking forward to this child marriage. She believed that as long as she became in-laws with the Yuan family, she would be able to change the situation where she and Jingcheng, mother and son, were marginalized in the Ye Mansion!
The only pity is that Yuan Song currently has only a grandson and no granddaughter, so she could only settle for the second best and choose the granddaughter of Yuan Song’s third brother, who is also Yuan Song’s niece. Otherwise, if she gets engaged to Yuan Song’s own granddaughter, the effect and influence will be even better!

Just when Shen Yutong was secretly happy about this child marriage and even began to look forward to a bright future, problems arose at the last and most critical stage!
Although Ye Mingsheng did not directly express his opposition, the fact that he did not nod his head to agree was itself an attitude. Later, An Miaoyi, as the mistress, directly arranged a marriage for Jingcheng with the daughter of Wang Zhi, the governor of Youyan Prefecture...

As a result, Shen Yutong's original plan for marriage with the Yuan family came to nothing. Although Shen Yutong was very reluctant and did not want to accept it, she could not refuse An Miaoyi's arrangement and could only be forced to accept it!
The occurrence of this incident also made Shen Yutong and Jing Cheng the laughing stock of the powerful circle in Yijing. They were regarded as the typical example of wishful thinking. For this reason, Shen Yutong secretly hated An Miaoyi in his heart!
Although An Miaoyi was the instigator of this incident, Shen Yutong was also very clear that An Miaoyi dared to do this, and there must be Ye Mingsheng's tacit approval behind her!

If Ye Mingsheng did not acquiesce, An Miaoyi would not have the courage to do this. Because of this, Shen Yutong developed a deep resentment towards Ye Mingsheng!

She thought that Ye Mingsheng was too partial. Jingcheng was still his, Ye Mingsheng's son, after all, not the one she, Shen Yutong, had with another man!

Why is Ye Mingsheng so good to Jingren and Jingxuan, but so cold to Jingcheng, so stingy that he is unwilling to give him even a possible hope?
This incident completely killed all of Shen Yutong's hopes for Ye Mingsheng, and made her completely give up on her husband, the father of her child!
It was for this reason that Shen Yutong didn't want to see Ye Mingsheng coming to her place. However, when she saw Ye Mingsheng playing with Jingcheng just now, Shen Yutong's originally dead heart was disturbed again...
However, now looking at Ye Mingsheng sleeping, Shen Yutong, who had originally made careful preparations for this, couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on her face!
Just when Shen Yutong was hesitating whether to cover Ye Mingsheng with a blanket, Ye Mingsheng, who was dozing off, opened his eyes and found that Shen Yutong had returned to the room.

Seeing Shen Yutong who seemed to be well prepared, Ye Mingsheng's eyes flashed with a strange color, but he still said to Shen Yutong with a serious face:
"Do you know why I came here today?"

Shen Yutong was stunned for a moment when she heard Ye Mingsheng ask this. She had never thought about this question from Ye Mingsheng. However, when she saw Ye Mingsheng playing patiently with Jingcheng just now, Shen Yutong really felt that Ye Mingsheng had a change of heart and felt that he had treated Jingcheng unfairly, so he came to make up for his father's love!
Although she thought so in her heart, but facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Shen Yutong knew that this must not be the answer to the matter!

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yutong finally spoke honestly under Ye Mingsheng's gaze:

"I don't know!"

Ye Mingsheng pointed at the desk expressionlessly and said, "Where should I go to write a few words?"

Although she didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was going to do, Shen Yutong still walked over obediently. When she came to the desk, she picked up a pen and dipped it in ink and asked:

"What did you write, sir?"

"I want to seize the throne..."

When Ye Mingsheng said this, Shen Yutong was stunned at first, and then her expression suddenly changed. Just when she was hesitating to say something, Ye Mingsheng's voice came to her ears again.

"Just write these four words! Write!"

Ye Mingsheng's words hit Shen Yutong's heart like a heavy blow, making Shen Yutong begin to panic. The woman who didn't know what her husband wanted to do tried to relieve her inner confusion and helplessness with a deep breath, and then picked up the pen and wrote those four words on the paper!

Watching Shen Yutong finish writing, Ye Mingsheng coldly ordered:
"Lift the words up! Lift them higher!"

Feeling the coldness in Ye Mingsheng's words, although Shen Yutong felt extremely humiliated and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, she could only do as she was told and hold the paper to her chest!
Looking at Shen Yutong who held up the words "I want to seize the throne", Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:

"What do you think of you like this? Do you want everyone in the Ye Mansion to see you like this?"

Ye Mingsheng's words were like a sharp knife that stabbed into the heart of a woman, a mother. Under Ye Mingsheng's provocation, Shen Yutong did not choose to endure it, but directly threw down the words in her hand, crying like mad to vent her grievances to Ye Mingsheng.

"Why did you do this to us mother and son? What did Jingcheng and I do wrong?"

Facing Shen Yutong's hysterical outburst, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:

“It’s not about what I did, but Shen Yutong, think about what you did…”

"What you have done is equivalent to writing these four words on your face, letting everyone in Yijing know your ambitions, right?"

Shen Yutong, who was originally crying, was startled when she heard this, and at this time Ye Mingsheng continued to say coldly:
"Shen Yutong, you are so self-righteous. Do you think your method of dragging the Yuan family into this is smart?"

"You are just courting your own death! If it weren't for Jing Cheng, I really don't want to care about a self-righteous woman like you!"

"You are just a fool who thinks you are right because you are a little smart! In fact, you are not even as good as Bai Yuanyuan!"

When Shen Yutong heard Ye Mingsheng say that she was not even as good as Bai Yuanyuan, she felt touched and immediately wanted to refute, but Ye Mingsheng's next words made her stunned!

"You think you can change anything by dragging the Yuan family into this? I tell you that nothing can be changed. The only thing that will change is that if I agree to the marriage between Jingcheng and the Yuan family, then I'm afraid that by this time, you and Jingcheng will probably be in trouble, or contract some unknown chronic disease!"

"Not only will you kill yourself, but you will also cause Jingcheng to die as well?"

Ye Mingsheng’s words made the young and beautiful woman in front of him realize something. The next second, a chill ran up from her back, making the woman shiver uncontrollably...

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng said with some melancholy and helplessness:

"If you really succeed, you and Jingcheng will become the target of public criticism. Not only Miaoyi, everyone will be happy to see you and Jingcheng get into an accident!"

"I will definitely punish the murderer, but from the moment Jingcheng and the Yuan family arranged the marriage, the fate of you and your son is doomed to be unchangeable!"

At this point, Ye Mingsheng looked at Shen Yutong who was as dumbfounded as a wooden chicken. In fact, he had another idea that he was embarrassed to say!

Ye Mingsheng is in his prime and will live for decades if nothing unexpected happens. Jingcheng is still young. You are so anxious to use your marriage to win over ministers, and especially Yuan Song, who has outstanding military achievements, to prepare for the future. What do you want to do?

You are so impatient now, and can't wait to win over the military and openly compete for the throne. Then, when Jingcheng grows up in a dozen years, will you still be able to wait obediently?

Will you then use the same trick as the Xuanwu Gate Incident to turn Ye Mingsheng into the emperor emeritus?
Ye Mingsheng was willing to believe that his second son would not do such a thing, but Ye Mingsheng felt that if this opportunity was given to Shen Yutong, a crazy woman, the result would be damn hard to predict····················
