The Husband I Snagged Halfway Is Off

With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...

Chapter 421 Don't you know how unlucky you are?

The wind rustled.

On the right wall, vines quietly climbed, and the greenery was lush.

The map was spread out, and the city passes were outlined with cinnabar. The important layout of Shangjing was in full view.

Ying Fuyan: "What do you want to do?"

Wei Zhao's voice was flat: "In addition to the imperial guards sent specifically for the emperor, there is also a shadow guard left by the late emperor to protect him secretly, which is unknown to the public."

"No one knows the number of people, and no one knows the origin of those shadow guards. No one has seen them except the dog emperor."

Wei Zhao: "Those people will only appear when the emperor is in danger."

"It's the dog emperor's trump card."

Ying Fuyan murmured: "No wonder."

His throat tightened slightly: "When he ascended the throne, the late emperor had not yet been buried, and he had already thought of killing the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but he had not yet implemented it. Although my father was slow, he also saw that something was wrong, but it was too late."

The overwhelming accusations fell on the Prince of Yan.

"Before my father was imprisoned, he sent out his most powerful confidants to investigate, intending to clear his name, but... none of them survived."

This was definitely not something the Imperial Guards could do.

Ying Fuyan: "Have you ever fought against them?"

Wei Zhao: "No, he was most wary of me. But my uncle once mentioned to my father that those people were extremely skilled."

Time stood still for a moment.

Only the strange cry of the blue crow could be heard.

Ge Lao thought it was too noisy, so he covered its mouth and took it away.

Wei Zhao's fingertips lightly touched the stone table, and his tone was casual.

"The third prince of Liangyue has entered the capital. He came quietly and did not reveal his whereabouts."

Ying Fuyan obviously had not received the news yet, and his face was filled with surprise.

"The Great Jin and Liangyue have been at odds for years, how dare he come here?"

Yes, Wei Zhao "died" once in the battle with Liangyue.

The people of the Great Jin were like the loss of their parents, but Liangyue was celebrating the New Year. Just waiting to adjust and continue the attack.

Without the Wei army, the chances of winning would be much greater.

Ying Fuyan: "Is this intentional... to test your strength?"

Wei Zhao: "How can it not be to visit me?"

Ying Fuyan: ...

You killed their generals, and sent their heads to the Liangyue emperor as a gift. In the early years, they broke into the enemy camp and did so many things that could make them angry to death, and they still visited you?

Don't you know what's going on?

Every time the Wei army fights with them, they always have a backup plan, never catching them all in one fell swoop, giving them a chance to come back.

It's like teasing a dog. Never eliminating the trouble, so that Emperor Ying Qian needs Wei Zhao, and the Shunguo Mansion can be safe.

When Liangyue was desperate and didn't want to fight, Wei Zhao ran over to give instructions, saying that their battle plan was wrong, encouraging them to continue fighting and not to be discouraged.

How could the Liangyue emperor not know Wei Zhao's intentions?

So he thought of digging him out.

But he didn't succeed, and Wei Zhao took a lot of wool from

him. So! Don't you know how unlucky you are in Liangyue?

Wei Zhao: "He came at the right time."

When he said this, Ying Fuyan knew what

he meant. "Then we should treat him well."

Ying Fuyan: "The dog emperor was furious about the matter of Yang Shangshu's mansion. The palace has not received any other news, but Baopu has been summoned to the palace."

But Baopu is not a fake Taoist priest. He can calculate what the dog emperor's underwear is embroidered on. With Gu Fuju secretly controlling it, the Imperial Observatory has to admit defeat.

If he says something, it will inevitably leave a seed of doubt in Emperor Ying Qian.

Just wait and see.

Alarmist words can keep Emperor Ying Qian awake at night.

"When will we do it?"

Wei Zhao: "On the day of the night market."

Ying Fuyan raised his eyebrows.

"Don't go out with your sister-in-law? Why spend time on the dog emperor on a good day?"

Wei Zhao said listlessly: "It's still in time."

Got it.

He wants to grab everything.

When Wei Zhao finally returned to Shunguo Mansion, his eyebrows were tired.

He didn't return to Lanyuan in time, but went to Ning Suchan first.

When he came out, he was holding a long rectangular box in his hand.

The box looked quite old, and there was a layer of mud on it, as if it had just been dug out of the ground.

Although it had been wiped, it was still very dirty.

Wei Zhao didn't mind it at all, and went straight to the study.

The sky was getting darker as dusk fell in the west.

Yu Tingwan knew that he hadn't eaten yet, so she carried the food over.

The girl was strong, and she didn't feel tired carrying it. She didn't even stop to rest and catch her breath all the way.

She was allowed to enter the study.

When Yu Tingwan arrived, Shunzi helped open the door of the study.

She stepped in and saw Wei Zhao flipping through some papers. Her sight was soon occupied by the box on the desk.

In front of her were piles of letters that needed Wei Zhao's reply, as well as writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, but now there was only the box, and everything else was pushed elsewhere.

It was obvious how important it was.

"What is this?"

Wei Zhao flipped through the papers page by page, and soon took out the memorials that had been looted from the study of Wei Fengxing and Wei Fengyuan and submitted to the previous emperor involving government affairs, people's livelihood, and military affairs.

On it was the late emperor's review and decision.

After returning it to the ministers, they had to execute it.

In addition to these, there were many documents with the late emperor's handwriting that he had collected.

Wei Zhao: "I dug it out from under my mother's bed." It

was buried very deep.

There were also many mechanisms.

The kind that ordinary people could not dig.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Yu Tingwan was not polite.

She put down the lunch box with nimble fingers, and with a click, she used the key on the side to poke into the lock cylinder and turned it gently.

Inside was a bright yellow rolled paper.

It looked very expensive.

Yu Tingwan had a guess in her heart.

She wiped her already clean hands, fearing that she would leave stains on them.

After doing all this, she raised her hand to take it out, carefully avoiding the mud outside the box.

Roll it out bit by bit.

The paper is specially made, not the common rice paper.

There are exquisite dragon patterns on the edges, embroidered with gold and silver threads, gorgeous and solemn.

This is an imperial edict.

An empty imperial edict.

In an instant, Yu Tingwan thought of Wei Zhao's intention.

She held her breath for a moment.

At this time, Wei Zhao also put down what he was doing, threw the box aside casually, and wiped the stains on the desk.

Yu Tingwan tacitly put the imperial edict on the desk after he wiped the water stains with cotton cloth.

"You want to copy the handwriting of the previous emperor?"

"Back then, the previous emperor used an empty imperial edict to trick the Wei family, and he was allowed to do whatever he wanted?"

It was obviously to pass the throne to Emperor Ying Qian, but he deliberately made three copies to make everyone think that it should be passed to the King of Yan. Shun Guogong,

who received the imperial edict, as an "insider", ended up like this.

"When the dog emperor ascended the throne, many people speculated that he forged the imperial edict. But they dared not say it."

Wei Zhao smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Then let the real one become a fake completely."

He could say that, so Yu Tingwan knew that he could imitate handwriting without any problem.

But...

"The imperial edict is stamped with the seal of the jade seal, this..."

Yu Tingwan: "Are you going to carve one?"

Wei Zhao: "Too troublesome."

Yu Tingwan:?

Wei Zhao: "The palace will be in chaos soon, I can just borrow it and press it."

Yu Tingwan: ???
