On the way, Meng Qi recounted what had happened: the emperor suddenly rushed into the inner palace, killed two concubines, and wanted to bathe in their blood.

Blood from other people won't do; it has to be from a close relative. He has no relatives now, so he can only turn to his concubines.

What is the purpose of doing this?

Meng Qi said, "To stop the itch, the Emperor has already scratched himself until he's unrecognizable."

No one wanted to torture him; he was the one who insisted on self-harm. Su Wenyuan suspected that his brain had long since broken down.

That pill might cause someone to lose their mind.

Sheng Jingyu entered the palace before her and had already brought the chaos to a stop.

He also brought Hua Ling with him, and they were giving the emperor, who was tied up, acupuncture. There were no palace maids or eunuchs in the palace; they had all been driven out by Sheng Jingyu.

The emperor was in a terrible state. He had been struggling at first, but now he was completely silent, his eyes empty and lifeless.

While administering acupuncture, Hua Ling said, "There are two choices: one is to continue going mad, and it's uncertain how long he will live; the other is to force him to come to his senses, but he will die in three days, which is equivalent to a final burst of energy before death."

"two."

They answered in unison.

Hua Ling was not surprised. She took out a bottle from her bosom, poured out two pills, and fed them to him.

The emperor was so excited when he saw the pills that he ate them without hesitation, and even after finishing them, he still felt a little unsatisfied.

He's obsessed.

“It will take another two hours,” Hua Ling said.

Sheng Jingyu nodded and hurriedly summoned several senior officials to explain the situation.

The Emperor has only three days left to live. Regardless of whether he issues an edict to abdicate, Sheng Jingyu will still ascend the throne in three days. Some things can be prepared.

Su Wenyuan waited in the palace for two hours, hoping to see a sober emperor.

She feared that once the emperor regained consciousness, he would be unable to bear everything before him and would collapse, causing him to do something absurd again.

Fortunately, the emperor was surprisingly calm; he just couldn't accept his current appearance.

His hair was sparse, he had lost several teeth, his face was grayish-white with bloodstains, and his skin was sagging, making him look inhuman.

He remembered being obsessed with elixirs and consuming a lot of them. Only now did he realize that he shouldn't have done it, but at the time, he couldn't feel it. He stubbornly believed that everything he wanted to do was right.

"Retribution...retribution..." the emperor kept repeating.

It seems that since I chose this dead end, I can't blame anyone else.

He wanted to meet with Su Wenyuan, and Su Wenyuan agreed.

Through the screen, Su Wenyuan spoke calmly about many things.

This also included the situation in Qikong Kingdom. The Emperor was surprised that Sheng Jingyu had actually handled the matter well.

She also mentioned the matter of Nian Huaizhong and the others. The Emperor found it incredible that they were so loyal. Even though the Yu family was dead, they still wanted revenge and wanted to investigate the truth.

The key point is that he, the emperor, was kept completely in the dark about all of this and knew nothing about it.

He was indeed unfit to be emperor; he shouldn't have seized power in the first place.

They made so many wrong decisions along the way.

After Sheng Jingyu finished his work, Su Wenyuan planned to go back to her residence to rest. It seemed that they wouldn't fight.

Even if a fight breaks out, the emperor won't be able to win.

Sheng Jingyu did not return home that night.

The next day, the emperor rarely attended court, but he hung a curtain in front of him and announced that he would pass the throne to Sheng Jingyu.

The next day, Sheng Jingyu received a reply from Qikong Kingdom. The emperor of Qikong Kingdom agreed with his idea, and the two countries would continue to maintain friendly relations and not interfere with each other, but would no longer agree to a marriage alliance.

On the third day, the Ministry of Rites began preparations for the enthronement ceremony and the investiture ceremony for the empress.

The emperor died that night.

A month later, Sheng Jingyu finally fulfilled his promise to Su Wenyuan and held a wedding ceremony.

He stayed in the palace for the past month, while Su Wenyuan stayed in her residence; the two of them hadn't seen each other much.

After the palace maids and eunuchs had all left, Su Wenyuan quickly got up and went to the bronze mirror to admire the phoenix crown on her head.

Sheng Jingyu walked up behind her and asked with a smile, "Didn't you complain about it being too heavy before?"

"It's heavy, but it looks really good, don't you think?"

Su Wenyuan's smile was radiant, and she looked even more beautiful in the candlelight.

Sheng Jingyu nodded stiffly and said, "It looks good."

After saying that, he started disassembling it, his movements swift and efficient.

Su Wenyuan said with dissatisfaction, "Did you even read it? You just nodded."

Sheng Jingyu replied in a low voice, "I can look at the phoenix crown during the day; I have something more important to do tonight!"

...
