Upon hearing this, White Falcon and Black Hawk were stunned and speechless. They had not expected that this seemingly playful way of getting along between father and son actually had so many implications.

"Then where does the emperor most want to arrange you, the master, to be...?"

"What do you think?"

The voices of White Falcon and Black Hawk choked, and they both raised their eyes to look at Wei Li at the same time, "Military camp?"

Wei Li sneered, "It's either the military camp or the battlefield. In the end, this is what I want to achieve!"

The Seventh Uncle is right. If we don’t do it now, when will we do it?

Although their Prince Rong’s Mansion may seem prosperous now, who can guarantee what it will be like in the future?

If he doesn't hold power in his hands in advance, when that day really comes, he will only hinder others, which is not what he wants to see.

Today, Siyou Kingdom is no longer as impregnable as before. If Wei Yuchen wants to keep this country, he must give up power.

The first people to whom he delegated power were the Wei family. He did not trust others, but in comparison, the Wei family was more reliable.

If he still shows his previous dandy image and fails to seize power at this critical moment, he will only become more passive in the future, and Prince Rong's Mansion will be even more dangerous!

That was definitely not the consequence he wanted to see. Instead of being passive, it would be better to be proactive.

Wei Li had a plan in mind, and Wei Ziheng and Ning Shuyuan in Liwu Courtyard also quickly analyzed this point.

When Ning Shuyuan heard about the possibility of going to the battlefield, she almost jumped up.

"Are you crazy? Letting him go to the battlefield, that would be..."

At this point, she suddenly choked up. "No, no, we must not let him go to the battlefield. Don't you know how strong our son is? The swords on the battlefield are blind. What if, no, no, there can't be a what if, Wei Ziheng, you must nip this idea in the bud, you must!"

"This matter has nothing to do with me or you. It has to be decided by the emperor. Do you think your son is such a disaster? How much does he weigh? Haha, as a mother, how could you not know?"

Ning Shuyuan blinked and turned away uncomfortably: "Stop talking nonsense. I don't know what you are talking about, and I have never thought about what he is like. I only know that he is my son, my son for this life, a son who must not have the slightest mistake!"

Wei Ziheng shook his head helplessly. Faced with Ning Shuyuan's persistence, he chose to remain silent.

"Why don't you say anything? Do you really want to send him to the battlefield? Do you know what the consequences will be? Ye'er hasn't come back yet, Tan Ya is still in the palace, and I only have this one son by my side. You want to take him away too."

"I, do you want me to live with your bastards? Wei Ziheng, you bastard, I don't care. You once promised me that my sister would only... no, do you understand what I said?"

Seeing his beloved wife with tearful eyes and a pitiful look, Wei Ziheng felt powerless all over.

"I just said that this is my son's decision. I have no right to interfere. Also, don't be so pessimistic. What if the emperor doesn't think so? Right?"

"Are you kidding me? He wouldn't think so? He would definitely think so, because he is the emperor, he is Wei Yuchen!"

Ning's words, after gritting her teeth, made Wei Ziheng hold his forehead and sigh, "Oh my God, what is going on?"

This won’t work, that won’t work, just chop me down!

"What did you do in the palace today?"

He was hurriedly called away in the evening. Now thinking about it, Ning Shuyuan did not forget to ask about it.

When this matter was mentioned, Wei Ziheng was relieved. As long as she didn't just protect her precious son, any topic would be fine, he said hurriedly.

"This revenge was more severe than we imagined. The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted today. When I came back, he had just woken up, but it was obvious that he was greatly shocked."

"What happened?"

Thinking of the emperor's expression when he handed him the blood-stained secret letter, Wei Ziheng couldn't help but sigh.

"The generals guarding the borders in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast all died suddenly at the same time. Who do you think was responsible for this?"

"What? Died suddenly at the same time?" Ning Shuyuan's hands trembled, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat: "How, how could this happen?"

"How is it impossible? Compared to these four people, when he killed the generals of the Du family army, it was much more painful. At that time, he simply would not listen to other people's dissuasion, and he didn't care whether these people would pose a threat to him or not. As long as they were related, he would kill, kill, kill!"

"Now, it's time for them to collect the blood debt. What are four generals? What I'm afraid of are the Yan Kingdom and the Tiandu Kingdom who have been eyeing our Siyou Kingdom!"

"And the emperor, just realizing this, fell ill due to the attack of qi and blood. He was only forty years old, but he seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?"

When Ning Shuyuan heard this, her face became even uglier.

"The loss of four brave generals at once will surely cause chaos in the army. At this time, Li'er is so crazy that he wants to go to the court. If the emperor doesn't send him, who will he send?"

"No, no, I won't allow it. Wei Ziheng, I warn you, you must not tell the emperor about this, otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

When Wei Ziheng saw his wife instantly turned back into a tigress, he couldn't help but pinch his brows in annoyance.

"You've said this several times. Can't you save some energy?"

"Save energy? I want to, but can I? If Li'er enters the military camp, we will have to fight. If we really fight with the Tiandu Kingdom and the Mei Kingdom, do you want me to die?"

The more Ning Shuyuan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She paced back and forth anxiously. Wei Ziheng's head, which was already dizzy, became even more dizzy. He looked at her and said weakly.

"Can you protect him forever? A grown-up child is no longer under the control of his mother. He will fly away sooner or later. If he is kept in a greenhouse for his whole life, he will never grow up. It is better to let him go out and try his luck while he is still young."

"As for the rest, you don't have to worry at all. This kid is very smart. Even though he pretends to be so smart on weekdays, when it comes to things, he is definitely not any worse than you and I!"

How could Ning Shuyuan not know that what Wei Ziheng said was the truth?

But when she thought of her sister who died tragically and the child she had saved with great difficulty, she was overwhelmed with grief.

"Hui'er has been dead for sixteen years, and my parents still don't know she's dead. This child is the one Hui'er risked her life to save. If I don't take care of him, who will? If he is recognized by those people, can he still live peacefully?"

Wei Ziheng felt very uncomfortable when he saw her sad face.

"But there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Back then, you left for three years under the pretext of recuperating and brought Li'er back with you when you came back. Although we had already discussed this matter, all those involved have been dealt with and all traces have been erased."

"But there's no guarantee that the other party won't notice. After all, she's a living person, especially since she was about to give birth when she ran away. Shu'er, you can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him forever. This child has been destined to be with me since he was young, and I really love him!"

When Ning Shuyuan heard this, she turned around and explained.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I know exactly how you treat Li'er. I can doubt anyone but you, right?"

"But, I am really scared. I am really scared. If he is gone too, how am I going to live? How am I going to explain this to my sister?"

"How can I be worthy of Ye'er? As a mother, I know better than anyone what Ye'er is thinking. The reason why he left the position of the crown prince to Li'er was to save his life at the critical moment!"

"I owe you this, I owe you this!"

Wei Ziheng saw how sadly she was crying and sighed softly.

"Shuyuan, you are being too polite. They grew up together. Although they are not your biological children, they are cousins. Li'er has a hard life, but he is destined to be with our Wei family. Over the years, no one has ever doubted his identity."

"Because he looks so much like Ye'er. This is destined by God. Why do you have to worry about it? The child has grown up. You can't protect him anymore. It's time to let him go out and explore!"

"As for his future, I think you don't need to worry at all. He is not born to be bound by a mere palace!"

Wei Ziheng's reminder startled Ning Shuyuan, and she raised her head abruptly: "What do you mean...?"

"You understand what I mean, don't you?"

Ning Shuyuan's face turned pale and she lowered her eyes slightly: "But I would rather he live in the palace."

Only in this way can they protect him and save his life!

"Unfortunately, this is not what he wanted."

Wei Ziheng looked at him coldly, his expression more serious than ever before.

Ning Shuyuan's eyes dimmed, and her peaceful face contained an indescribable sadness. She was silent, silent, and silent again.

It was unknown how long it had been before Ning Shuyuan mustered up the courage to look at Wei Ziheng.

"Do you know what the consequences will be after making this decision? Even if it means overthrowing the Wei Dynasty, you are willing to do it?"

"He won't." Wei Ziheng said subconsciously, earning Ning Shuyuan a sneer.

"He won't, but the country behind him will. As long as he is not in that position, he can't make the decision!"

After hearing this, Wei Ziheng smiled faintly.

"If this is true, then it is the fate of the Wei family. Li'er is not from Siyou Country, so why would he abandon Tiandu Country for us? What's more, if Wei Yuchen has the ability to defend the country, then it would be best. If he doesn't have the ability, then it is only natural that someone capable will take the position!"

Ning Shuyuan looked at him deeply, as if she were looking at a stranger. Such a look made Wei Ziheng feel uneasy: "What, what's wrong?"

"I know you are kind-hearted, but I didn't expect you to be so generous. Your Majesty, is this really what you really think?"

Ning Shuyuan felt unbelievable, but Wei Ziheng glanced at her indifferently after hearing it.

"Shuyuan, if I really had that ambition, you would be the Empress today! Although my mother and I are not kind people, we are definitely not the kind of people who like war. No matter who is in power, as long as he can make the people live a good life, he is a good emperor. Why do we have to fight to the death?"

"But who among the people in this world, especially the royal family, has not walked through the blood of others in the struggle? Even our small Prince Rong's Mansion is full of wars, let alone a country?"

"Some things are unavoidable, especially that position. Is the battle for succession going to happen again?"

Wei Yuchen almost killed all their brothers, but he still has a son. He also has a son. He trusts him, but that doesn't mean he trusts his life. He is born suspicious, so how can he treat his son well?

"Shu'er, you really think too much. Have you never thought about why Wei Li would go back on his word? He obviously hated it, but he had to go back. Why? Is it really because he wanted Prince Rong's mansion to prosper? Do you believe this excuse?"

Ning Shuyuan's heart was instantly clenched: "What does your Highness mean by this?"

"You don't know your son well enough. Even if I disagree with his decision, he will find a way to get to the emperor and ask for his help in person. At that time, can you, as his mother, stop him?"

Ning Shuyuan's face turned pale. "Is this road really unstoppable?"

Wei Ziheng looked at her solemnly: "A man should have great ambitions. Li'er has grown up now. You should try to let go. Blindly doting on him will only restrain him!"

After saying this, Wei Ziheng looked at her deeply, then turned and left.

Ning Shuyuan slumped down in the chair, staring at the shiny floor, not saying a word for a long time...

When Wei Li finished listening to his men's reports, a hint of emotion flashed across his stern face. He waved his hand, and the black-clad secret guards disappeared silently. He himself stood on the terrace, looking at the starless night sky, with an unfathomable dark light in his black pupils.

Of course he knew his own life experience. His mother died during childbirth and it was his aunt who raised him as her own son. Over the years, because of this complicated identity, he had to secretly accumulate his strength.

After all these years of accumulation, the seemingly dissolute Prince Li of Beijing is actually a completely different person now!

However, all of this can only be hidden in the dark for now and cannot be exposed unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, he needs an identity, a legitimate identity that can cover up all of this!

Late at night in Qingge, Shangguan Qingxi was not sleepy at all. She casually put on some clothes and walked out of the room.

Hearing the sound, Zi'e, who was on night watch, stood up quickly and asked, "Miss, what happened to you?"

"Oh, nothing. I couldn't sleep. I was just taking a walk. Go to sleep. Don't worry about me."

Zi'e, who knew her master's character, stepped back respectfully and said, "Yes, I will leave first."

After Zi'e left, Shangguan Qingxi stood in the yard for a while. Just as she was about to go out, suddenly, a muffled thunder sounded in the night sky. The sound was so loud that even she was startled.

When I looked up at the sky again, I found that dark clouds had covered the entire night sky without me noticing. Gradually, the wind started to blow away the stuffiness and irritability of the summer night.

When the raindrops fell on Shangguan Qingxi's face, she did not dodge or avoid it. She just kept her head raised and let the rain wash over her. As the rain got heavier, Zi'e was about to take an umbrella to pick her up, but the moment she walked out of the room, she froze in place.

What's wrong with this girl?

Why are you standing in the rain without moving?

What if I catch a cold?

Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by Zi Su who came after her, and gently shook her head at her and spoke softly.

"The girl is worried, can't you see? Come on, go in, this is not our business!"

"But what if she gets sick?"

Zi Su smiled slightly: "Don't worry, she won't allow herself to get sick."

Although their girl's medical skills were not as good as those of Princess Feng, who had been recognized by her, she had been able to conceal her illness until now without being discovered by other doctors.

Such skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. How could she let herself be defeated by a little cold?

At that time, Shangguan Qingxi closed her eyes and raised her head stubbornly, allowing the raindrops to hit her face fiercely. However, all the pain added up was not as great as the torment she was enduring in her heart.

These days, although her Zihuang Palace has been constantly active and has killed countless of Wei Yuchen's close associates.

Logically, she should have been very happy, but unfortunately, instead of feeling happy after getting revenge, she felt even more miserable.

She knew that her pain came from the kindness in her previous life. The transformation of character itself was a painful process, especially for her, who was a saint in her previous life and a devil in this life.

Although she clearly knew that she should find Wei Yuchen, the culprit, and should not kill innocent people.

But, Shangguan Qingxi's character in this life was twisted by hatred. She wanted revenge, crazy revenge. She wanted Wei Yuchen to have a taste of what it means to be surrounded by enemies on all sides and what it means to pay the price with nothing to lose!

Even if the result means sacrificing the entire Wei family empire, she would not hesitate!

Since it was the Du family who helped him conquer this empire, then what reason does he have to take advantage of them?

He had no shame, and she blushed for him.

Wei Yuchen, you ruined my previous life. Even if I die in this life, I will drag you down with me!

As for those people, Shangguan Qingxi did not think they were innocent. They should have paid the price for their actions when they worked together to deal with the Du family!

Perhaps it was because she suffered too much in her childhood, so that even though she was in the rain for half an hour, she still felt strong and healthy when she woke up the next day, without any sequelae. Her ability to withstand such strong blows was so strong that even Zi'e and Zi Su couldn't help but marvel at it.

Shangguan Qingxi was in good health and enjoyed everything she ate, but someone seemed to be really overwhelmed all of a sudden.

This person was none other than Shangguan Qingxi's old enemy whom she would never dream of letting go - Wei Yuchen.

Ever since he vomited blood in the imperial study, he had been bedridden and troubled by nightmares almost every night. No matter how many imperial doctors he invited, none of them could help him.

Because Wei Yuchen had fallen into a coma, he had lost the desire to live. He was in a daze every day, relying only on ginseng soup to stay alive. He was in danger of death at any time.

When the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were at a loss, they couldn't help but turn their hopeful eyes to Yaowang Valley, Tianyahaige, Lingjiazhuang and other underworld organizations famous for their medical skills.

But even if people from these places rush over, it will take at least half a month.

Half a month! In Wei Yuchen’s current condition, can he last for half a month?

Hope turned into disappointment, and the most heartbreaking ones were the women of Wei Yuchen.

Unfortunately, in order to avoid disturbing Wei Yuchen, these people were placed under house arrest by the Queen Mother and no one was allowed to enter and disturb them.

Otherwise, there will be no mercy!

A country cannot be without a king for a day, especially when the four great generals at the front were killed, who can still sit still?

While Prince Rong was temporarily in charge of government affairs on behalf of Wei Yuchen, he did not forget to secretly look for talented people in the world to help the emperor solve his problems.

In fact, Wei Yuchen’s physical illness is not serious. What is serious is his mental illness. Mental illness needs to be treated with mental medicine, and the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

Unfortunately, the only person who could relieve his worries was sent to hell by his own hands.

Shangguan Qingxi soon received a secret letter from Zihuang Palace. Upon learning that Wei Yuchen was ill, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
