"Emperor Feng, you can't kill him!"

"Otherwise, you will definitely regret it!"

Crunch!

The wooden door slammed shut.

Wang Wu was caught in the heavy rain and his whole body was soaked.

But he still stood in the courtyard.

After seeing Emperor Feng, he quickly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

Emperor Feng stood with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the heavy rain, his eyes were cold.

"Go down and have a meeting with the court tomorrow."

"promise."

"I approve of your plan."

Emperor Feng looked at Wang Wu with an indifferent expression.

Wang Wu was promoted by him.

Originally just his loyal servant.

Later, he assisted him in killing the entire family of the former crown prince.

He was then appointed as a Langguan.

After defeating Tian Zhongxun, he quickly promoted Wang Wu to the position of Minister of Personnel. This went quite smoothly and did not attract much opposition. After all, Wang Wu's resume was there, and with the recommendation of the former Minister, it was quite smooth sailing.

Wang Wu is his most loyal dog.

He has been loyal all these years.

Did a lot of dirty work for him.

Also knows many of his secrets.

"Your Majesty, are you going to take action against Prince Ning?"

"There are also the Duke of Zhenguo Feng Wuze and the Minister of War Jiang Quan."

"They are all Prince Ning's men."

"I believe that if Your Majesty wishes to seize power, you must first eliminate Prince Ning and his forces. There are some secrets that only the dead can keep. Even if Prince Ning doesn't do these things, as long as he knows everything, there will be many people behind him pushing him forward. Has Your Majesty forgotten? The people in the Divine Machine Pavilion were repeatedly disrespectful and even said that Prince Ning was more suitable to be emperor than you."

“That’s enough!”

Emperor Feng raised his hand coldly.

Of course he knew all these things.

But every time he made up his mind to kill Ning Que, many memories would come back. When they were young, they all lived in the military camp. Ning Que was clever and eccentric, and he would always take him to the mountains.

At that time, Emperor Feng had not yet been appointed Crown Prince, so Ning Que took him hiking. As they admired the sunset, Emperor Feng asked him what his future ambitions were.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Ning Que.

He just looked into the distance and smiled calmly.

"Hehe, I just want to be a playboy. Eat, drink, have fun, and travel around every day. Anyway, my father and brother are in the palace, so there's no need for me to do anything. So what are your ambitions, my brother?"

"Ascend to the throne and become the Emperor!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's a bit difficult!"

Ning Que didn't laugh at his arrogance like others did. Instead, he smiled and said, "If my royal brother can truly become the Feng Emperor, I will definitely do my utmost to help him. Your royal brother will be the ruler, and I will be the minister; your royal brother will hold the bow, and I will hold the spear. Where in this world can't we go? Then, you and I will become bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!"

“…”

The past is like smoke.

Always comes to mind.

Whenever he made up his mind, he would think of this.

Emperor Feng was being drenched in the heavy rain, his expression gloomy.

Ning Que is the only friend he has in his life.

From birth, he was destined to be manipulated and exploited. But from beginning to end, only Ning Que did not care about his identity and treated him sincerely.

Reason told him that Wang Wu was right.

The safest way is to eradicate the problem at its roots.

But every time he thought of this, he couldn't do it.

Looking at the heavy rain, Emperor Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's no need to mention Ning Que anymore."

"He will never know the truth in his lifetime."

"Even if I knew, I still have plenty of ways to do it."

"After Shen Qinghe gives birth to a child, I will order her to return to Chang'an with the heir. Ning Que is very sentimental and cares deeply for Shen Qinghe. As long as I can control them, there is no need to worry about Xiao Ning betraying me."

"Your Majesty, please don't be soft-hearted!" Wang Wu insisted, saying quickly, "Ning Que might be concerned about the lives of Shen Qinghe and her son, but what about the others? When Ning Que knows the truth, will he really continue to serve Your Majesty? With Ning Que's ability, if he really breaks off relations with you, it will be a great threat to Your Majesty. His influence is there, we..."

"Minister Wang!"

"You're overstepping your bounds!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"There's no need to mention this matter again." Emperor Feng raised his hand coldly. "I've made up my mind and it won't change. As long as Xiao Ning doesn't rebel, I won't kill him. The Grand Historian once divined that he and I were born on the same day, month, and year, and he's my lucky star. We rise and fall together, and so, I can't kill him."

The corners of Wang Wu's mouth twitched.

What kind of reason is this?

You have to know that Emperor Feng has never believed in fate.

Furthermore, the Empress Dowager was behind this whole thing. She had originally commissioned the Grand Historian to divine, partly to ensure Emperor Feng could gain a foothold in the harem and cling to the support of the Ning Prince's Mansion. It was also a backup plan, intended to prevent Emperor Feng from targeting Ning Que in the future.

Emperor Fengdi did not deal with Ning Que after careful consideration.

It's not just because of conflicts of interest.

But I still cherish the past affection in my heart.

"Then...what about the Duke of Zhenguo?"

"Eliminate the Feng family!" Emperor Feng raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said coldly, "Feng Wuze is close to Xiao Ning and is his uncle. He holds a very high position in the army, guarding Shuofang and commanding 300,000 elite troops along the Northern Great Wall. If we successfully pacify Goguryeo this time, he will be unchallenged in the army. If I were to take back military power, I'm afraid I'd encounter many obstacles."

"I obey your order!" Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but still raised his hand and said, "However, if we deal with the Feng family, I'm afraid King Ning won't ignore it. If we do so, wouldn't that be forcing King Ning..."
