Seeing that Queen Xiaomin was about to reveal a look of disappointment and heartache, Zhao Ying shook her head without thinking, "No, of course not."
Queen Hyomin snorted, "Then listen to mother!"
Zhao Ying said "Oh", then shrugged her nose, Shangguan Shu, you...just wish you good luck!
Here, the mother and daughter were discussing, and Emperor Jianxi was not idle either.
Shao Yihui accepted the suffocating love from his biological parents more than 30 years late. Although he was not quite used to it, he smiled more often and also learned some dry humor.
When she just learned it, the queen was obviously a little worried, thinking that she had finally given birth to a decent child, but how come he went astray again? On the other hand, Emperor Jianxi looked very pleased, his fatherly love overflowing, and rewarded him!
Rewards were given to Kunning Palace like a stream of water.
Emperor Jianxi really liked Shao Yihui.
He found that his son was really smart, talented, and a promising person. Although he did not receive the education of a crown prince from his side since childhood, he had the breadth of mind and bearing of a gentleman, and was worthy of being his and Hyomin's son.
It filled his past regret about Zhao Cong's IQ, and also filled his regret that Zhao Ying was not a man.
Shao Yihui is the male version of Zhao Ying. Emperor Jianxi thinks he is simply perfect!
Emperor Jianxi's way of expressing his love was very simple. In addition to rewarding him, he also gave him enough respect. Emperor Jianxi changed Shao Yihui's name. Zhao Cong was originally his name, but it could no longer be used.
But Cong'er... Emperor Jianxi and Empress Xiaomin had discussed it, but they didn't know how to deal with Zhao Cong. Zhao Cong had fallen from heaven to earth. After all, they had raised him for more than 30 years, and the child was kind and filial. They selfishly didn't want to make things too difficult for him.
But not dealing with him wouldn't work either. His own son would be disheartened. This was still a minor matter. Zhao Cong was, after all, the former crown prince, and he had many followers. If those followers were dissatisfied, they would cause trouble for Shao Yihui in the future...
Emperor Jianxi was struggling with his thoughts when Zhao Ying happened to enter the palace. He asked a question. He thought Zhao Ying would plead for Zhao Cong, but unexpectedly, Zhao Ying asked, "How about killing him?"
"How can that be possible?"
Emperor Jianxi immediately understood what was in his heart. After thinking so much, he still didn't want to kill Zhao Cong selfishly. Since he didn't want to kill him, he had to let him go!
Emperor Jianxi secretly summoned Zhao Cong into the palace and asked him if he knew about this matter in advance. Zhao Cong cried and said that he knew it, and told him everything in detail. It was exactly the same as the information found by the Imperial City Bureau.
Emperor Jianxi was relieved that Zhao Cong was still a good boy. If that was the case, he would not pose a threat to Shao Yihui, so he felt relieved.
Emperor Jianxi abolished Zhao Cong's position as crown prince. Empress Xiaomin adopted him as her adopted son and made him a prince with only an empty title and food and salary. The title was "Mian", implying that the emperor and empress would always remember their affection for him.
At the same time, the Burmese Prince's Palace, formerly the Xian Prince's Palace, was granted to move out on a chosen day.
The former Crown Princess Wei Shu was a married daughter of the Wei family, so she was not burdened by her family. She just went from being a Crown Princess to a Princess of Burma.
As for the Wei family, Emperor Jianxi did not move the tablet of Grand Tutor Wei from the Taimiao for the sake of Empress Xiaomin. However, the Wei mansion was ransacked, Wei Fu was dismissed from his post and stripped of his military power, and was exiled to Ningguta along with the entire Wei family, never to return.
After the imperial edict came down, Zhao Ying went to plead for Wei Fu. Zhao Ying said that Wei Fu was implicated by Wei Ju and was innocent himself. He also had the merit of suppressing the rebellion. Even if there were unusual movements that day, his merits and demerits could offset each other.
Wei Fu's intention to rebel that day could not be concealed from Emperor Jianxi.
Emperor Jianxi hated the Wei family so much that he would certainly not agree. Sparing his life was already a great favor from the emperor. He should have been tortured to death!
Lingchi...
Zhao Ying's face turned pale and he didn't dare to beg again.
I am just waiting for the day when Wei Fu will be exiled so that I can go and see him off.
Shangguan Shu insisted on following.
When the three of them met, Wei Fu, though still in chains, had less gloom on his face. He looked at Zhao Ying with a calm and gentle gaze, "Sister Ying, don't worry about me. I'm fine. Although I'm in chains now, at this moment, my body and mind are free."
"I no longer have to wonder why I have a father like Wei Ju, no longer have to worry about Wei Ju causing me trouble, no longer have to worry about A Yuan being bullied by Wei Ju, and no longer have to..." He laughed at himself, "Have any more wishful thinking about you."
Wei Fu left.
Before leaving, Zhao Yingqiang stuffed a bag into his hand and asked him to take it with him. Wei Fu looked at her for a long time and then took it with him.
Zhao Ying instructed, "There are banknotes and some medicine in the bundle. I've already packed them. You won't suffer on the way. When you get there, you must take good care of yourself. If one day the new emperor ascends the throne, he will surely grant amnesty to the people. Then..."
Wei Fu shook his head and smiled, not really caring.
Zhao Ying looked at his back, tears welling up in her eyes. Things in this world are always so unexpected. The two brothers who had protected and loved her since childhood had become like this. But Shao Yihui was not wrong. It was the impermanence of the world that was wrong.
Shangguan Shu's eyes darkened upon seeing this. After a long pause, he said with an ambiguous tone, "Ying'er, I heard that on that day when Wei Fu was mobilizing his troops, the Wei Mansion happened to catch fire. Did you know?"
Zhao Ying didn't hide it from him. "I sent someone to release him. After you left the capital, I was worried that the news would leak out. Wei Ju would take a risk, and he would definitely be thinking about the soldiers in Wei Fu's hands. I couldn't let him rebel. In that situation, it would be best for me to go and stop him myself, but I was worried that they would capture me and use me as bait. I could only give some hints to stop him, but I didn't expect A Yuan to..."
Shangguan Shu remained silent, and it seemed that Zhao Ying didn't know that it was he who leaked the information.
Shangguan Shu was originally very jealous of Zhao Ying's concern for Wei Fu, but thinking that Wei Fu was gone, he suppressed his jealousy.
It's meaningless.
There's no point in getting jealous and quarreling with Zhao Ying over someone who's been eliminated.
Shangguan Shu said considerately, "Wei Yuan's funeral arrangements are difficult to handle now, but don't worry, I will send him off with dignity and find him a good grave in a picturesque setting."
Zhao Ying was very surprised by Shangguan Shu's behavior, but since he had good intentions, why wouldn't she do it?
When the two returned, Shangguan Shu asked, "Ying'er, why didn't you let the emperor deal with Wei Ju?"
Zhao Ying's eyes were cold. "I always remember that Wei Ju in my previous life harmed my Wan'er, and in this life, he also harmed my biological brother. He committed so many evil things that it wouldn't be a pity if he died a thousand times, but I can't let him die like this. My poor Wan'er, I was powerless in my previous life, but in this life, I want justice for her!"
At that moment, Shangguan Shu's body stiffened.
Zhao Ying noticed his abnormality and recalled her mother's plan. She felt relieved. Humph, her mother was right. She was really too kind and was seduced by his beauty, so she let him go.
He deserves to suffer!
…
Emperor Jianxi named Shao Yihui Zhao Xi. Hui means the light of the setting sun, and his Xier will be the future sun of Da Chu.
According to Emperor Jianxi's idea, he would directly depose Zhao Cong from the position of crown prince and enthrone Shao Yihui as the crown prince.
