After Wan Ge left, the Third Princess became increasingly angry. She summoned her subordinates, wanting them to cause trouble for Wan Ge. But just as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Wei Sheng Yi standing there.
Although the Third Princess had experienced a lot since childhood, she still felt much weaker in the face of that great general who had killed countless people on the battlefield. In addition, she was a little timid and paused when she saw her, calling out "General".
Wei Shengyi glanced at her with his cold eyes, then said indifferently, "What does Your Highness intend to do to the Imperial Preceptor?"
He had only come because he heard that the Third Princess had met with his wife, and he was worried. He hid himself very well, so no one noticed. However, he did not expect that after his wife left, he would hear the Third Princess saying that she wanted to attack him.
This Third Prince is incredibly brave; he dared to target his wife right in front of him.
"You..." The Third Princess took a step back, looking at Wei Shengyi before her: "Are you supporting the Imperial Preceptor?"
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through the Third Princess's mind: Could it be... could it be that Wan Ge wanted to rebel on her own?!
Wei Sheng did not answer the other party directly, but coldly said, "I think Your Highness would not say things that shouldn't be said, right?"
It would be too easy for the other party to eliminate him without him noticing. He didn't have much power, and his mother was seriously ill. He simply couldn't do anything about the person in front of him.
The Third Princess would not have been afraid of any other general, but it was Wei Shengyi.
The Third Princess felt that this matter was even more terrifying than she had imagined: "General, don't worry, I won't say anything reckless."
My first priority right now is to save my life.
As the other person walked away, the Third Princess thought of the conversation she had overheard between the Imperial Advisor and her mother when she was a child.
It was said that if General Weisheng were a boy, he would endanger the state. At that time, the Empress Dowager thought that if he were a boy, he might be a seductive fox who would bewitch the monarch and thus endanger the state.
So, upon learning that the other party was a girl, no precautions were taken. She even allowed the girl to inherit her mother's position as general. But she hadn't expected that a girl could still pose a threat to the state; the Empress should have killed her in the first place.
Unfortunately, there's no way to undo it now.
…
The Crown Princess didn't know what was wrong with her younger sister. She said she wanted to pray for the Empress and wanted to go to a temple that was very far away.
Although she didn't know what the other party was planning, the young lady was particularly happy, hoping that the other party would never return.
On the day the Third Princess left, seeing her older sister's smug expression, she suddenly found it quite amusing. She had been fighting with her sister for half her life, and now she was still acting like a fool.
Originally intending to offer a subtle reminder, the Third Princess ultimately only said, "I hope my elder sister is well."
Then they left the imperial city by carriage.
…
The Crown Princess didn't initially intend to do anything, but seeing her mother, the Empress, lying on her deathbed, and thinking of her departed younger sister, a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.
The Empress was already in poor condition, and with the addition of the poison from the Crown Princess's medicine, she died in less than two days.
The Crown Princess blamed the imperial physicians for the whole affair, saying they were quacks who had killed the Empress by prescribing the wrong medicine.
