Chapter 81: Root-Eradication Method
Wei Yanhua turned around and kicked him away even harder, her eyes red and almost ferocious.
Wei Yiqing was hurt by the kick and cried out, "I want my father to punish you! Punish you severely!"
Wei Yanhua's hands trembled, and the thought of strangling him flashed through her mind. At this moment, she heard the sound of carriage wheels approaching... She looked up and almost thought she had seen it wrong.
It’s the carriage from the Prince’s Mansion…it’s back again.
The people in the carriage had not yet gotten out when they saw a group of people approaching. They looked like they were from the Palace Guards.
Wei Yanhua was shocked. What? Did the emperor regret his decision again? Was he going to take her away again?
But the officers from the Palace Guard surrounded Zhenniang and her son and asked, "Are you from Kuizhou?"
Zhenniang responded timidly: "Yes, yes..."
"We are here to take you to reunite with Deputy Envoy Wei Xing."
Zhenniang's face lit up with joy, and she quickly dragged Wei Yiqing back to the carriage: "Let's go, let's go see Dad."
Wei Yiqing glared at Wei Yanhua and said, "Just wait!"
Wei Yanhua was so angry that she was shaking all over.
But Cheng Nianying in the carriage clutched the curtain in surprise and turned to ask Fu Yi, "Send them to reunite with Wei Xing?"
"Yeah." Fu Yi had a smile on his lips.
Wei Xing is dead.
Sending them to reunite... wouldn't that mean dying together?
The smile on Fu Yi's lips slowly faded: "Why are you not talking?"
Think it's cruel?
"I was thinking that the reason the Prince and the Emperor mentioned them in front of the temple was for this moment."
"Hmm." So what? What are you thinking?
"But……"
"But what?"
"Why did the Emperor decide to send someone to deal with them all when he heard the Prince mention them?"
So that's what he was curious about. Fu Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "Since ancient times, confiscating a family's property has been a serious crime, and male members of the family have always been severely punished. Because in the eyes of those in power, female members of the family are not to be feared, but male members must be eradicated."
So when he mentioned that Wei Xing had a concubine who gave birth to a son for him, the emperor naturally wanted to kill him.
It would be better for Wei Xing's "merits" to be inherited by a woman like Wei Yanhua, a woman who may even hate her father a little.
Cheng Nianying understood.
She looked at Fu Yi.
He looks more like a manipulator.
How can others control the life and death of others with just a few words?
But this matter... this matter seems to be to make her happier?
Cheng Nianying sighed quietly in her heart. It was really difficult to identify Fu Yi.
This is much harder than killing a person.
At this time, Fu Yi ordered someone to open the curtain and got off the carriage first. Then he extended his hand to Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying thought of what he had said before in front of Tianguang Temple, and this time he honestly put his hand on hers. The worst that could happen was that they would both fall to the ground...it wouldn't matter.
"Greetings to the Prince and Princess." Wei Yanhua's hoarse voice sounded not far away.
And Cheng Nianying also landed safely.
No fall.
Fu Yi put his hand away: "Go ahead and tell me, just a few words. I've been out for too long today."
Cheng Nianying responded with "hmm" and slowly walked to Wei Yanhua, getting close to her and lowering her voice: "Wei Xing is dead."
Wei Yanhua's pupils shrank.
Cheng Nianying added, "Tianguang Temple is on fire, he should be burned to death."
Wei Yanhua's body trembled, and she almost couldn't stand steadily. She raised her hand and grabbed Cheng Nianying: "Are you serious?"
"Yes, your Majesty."
Wei Yanhua forced a laugh from her throat: "Ha, ha, ha ha. He probably never thought of this before he died... How good, how good, he also experienced his mother's pain."
"It's just...it's just that woman and her son just now..." Wei Yanhua's teeth were chattering.
"They will die too."
Wei Yanhua's voice suddenly stopped, she was extremely shocked: "...What?"
Cheng Nianying: "I just want to tell you a few good news, then I'm leaving."
Wei Yanhua's face looked like she was both crying and laughing. She kept some distance from Cheng Nianying and stared at her deeply.
From now on, the relationship between them is more than just a simple secret shared by them.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much... Thank you for telling me the good news, thank you for rushing to save my mother, she was unconscious, and thank you for covering up for my mother in front of His Majesty. Arson in front of the emperor is a serious crime..."
Cheng Nianying interrupted, "That's what she really said at the time. I didn't make that up."
Wei Yanhua froze.
Cheng Nianying could only look at her there blankly.
Cheng Nianying is indeed not good at comforting people, but she knows that Wei Yanhua will definitely live well.
"Have you said a few words?" Fu Yi's voice sounded behind him.
Cheng Nianying responded, "Just left."
She turned slowly.
Wei Yanhua hurriedly said, "Thank Prince Danshuo for me again!"
The Princess of the County is quite cunning. The way she dealt with her father and her father's mistress and her son...it must have been that person's doing.
Seeing the two of them get on the carriage again.
Wei Yanhua bowed deeply at the back. She did not ask the Princess whether her hand hurt. Of course it didn’t hurt. It must have hurt a lot, and she would remember the pain.
Remember forever.
…
On the other side, the emperor returned to the palace.
He sat alone in front of the window, staring at the stars and the moon in the sky, slightly lost in thought.
The altar is new...
But what happened at Tianguang Temple is true.
If someone framed the prince, who would that person be... and does that person really exist?
If such a person exists, the emperor will be unable to sleep or eat unless he is caught.
He didn't doubt Fu Yi.
If it was Fu Yi...
There will never be a mistake in whether the altar is new or old.
The emperor sat there for who knows how long… The young eunuch, sweating profusely from running, knelt at the palace entrance and said, “Your Majesty… Your Majesty! The prefect of Yujing reported that there was a fire at Tianguang Temple, and many people died… including the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness.”
This is what Fu Yi meant by "different paths leading to the same destination".
The emperor, as if hearing it for the first time, accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table and asked, "What did you say?"
If you depose the crown prince, someone will stop you.
But if the prince dies unexpectedly, no one can say anything.
He is old and can't always clean up the mess for the prince.
If you want to appoint a new crown prince, you must do it as soon as possible.

When Cheng Nianying returned to the Prince's Mansion, Madam Shi was very distressed, and Madam Zou was so anxious that she wanted to jump up and down.
It was only after Wu Xun repeatedly told them that the imperial physician had already applied the medicine that they could rest assured.
Night fell in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Nianying was lying on the bed, her arms hanging outside the quilt. She was a little sleepy, but when she saw Fu Yi still there, she couldn't help but force her eyelids open and asked, "Isn't the prince leaving?"
Fu Yi asked in return: "Where should I go?"
Nanny Shi pushed the door open and came in, asking, "Master, will you stay here tonight?"
Fu Yi: "Yeah."
Cheng Nianying was suspicious of him, but at the same time she felt embarrassed and couldn't help but whisper, "I'm all sweaty and can't even take a shower."
He definitely can't stand it.
Fu Yi sat down beside the bed and said, "If I had known this would happen, why would I rush to Li Chong so quickly?"
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips and said nothing.
Are you unhappy again?
Fu Yi lowered his head and grabbed her hand: "There is only the smell of medicine and the incense on the clothes."
He paused, suddenly loosening his hand and pressing it against her forehead: "It's hot. ... You have a high fever."
Nanny Shi's expression changed: "I will go call the imperial physician right away!"
