Xiao Sheng had to admit that with Wei Yunting dead, in a sense, he was no longer bound by any constraints.
The officials who had been wavering all settled down and devoted themselves to assisting him.
Wei Yunting is a huge threat.
He is famous among the people, prestigious in the military, and in the prime of his life. If he wanted to usurp the throne, Xiao Sheng would definitely lose.
Even if he announces his retirement to the mountains, he will surely receive a great deal of support whenever he wants to come out.
The officials were unsure of Wei Yunting's intentions, wondering if he might suddenly change his mind and become hesitant to truly pledge allegiance to Xiao Sheng.
But once he died, everything was resolved.
The army was now under Xiao Sheng's control, and the throne was his too; no one could challenge his rule anymore.
Since Xiao Sheng wanted to become emperor, he naturally knew how to manipulate power.
Since Wei Yunting died in front of everyone, he must "die".
Xiao Sheng led Jiang Tian to the secret room.
Wei Yunting was lying inside.
"I've preserved his appearance with an ice bed, so you can see him one last time."
Xiao Sheng said to her.
Jiang Tian's face was so pale it was frightening. She staggered over, checked Wei Yunting's breathing, felt his pulse, and then collapsed onto him.
She didn't speak, but tears streamed down her face, and anyone could see her sorrow.
Xiao Sheng simply watched from afar.
Jiang Tian is skilled in medicine, and Wei Yunting stays by her side day and night. No matter how convincingly someone is disguised, they cannot fool her eyes.
In order to make her give up completely, Xiao Sheng had already made preparations in secret.
She saw the real Wei Yunting, but the divine doctor had temporarily put him to rest.
This is one way to keep him alive.
His body was already broken and he would die at the slightest accident. He held his breath for a period of time every day in order to keep him alive.
During the breath-holding phase, Wei Yunting looked no different from being dead. Jiang Tian had only been studying medicine for a short time and was far less experienced than the legendary doctor, so she naturally couldn't see the difference.
After a long time, Xiao Sheng heard Jiang Tian's calm words: "I beg Your Majesty to allow me to take him back. We have made a promise to live together and die together."
“No,” Xiao Sheng immediately refused. “Wei Yunting is a great hero of the world. I want to see him off in person. I want all the people of the world to pray for him and bless him with a perfect next life. He has made great contributions and deserves the worship of all people. It would be inappropriate for you to take him back with you.”
"Do you want to see Wei Yunting die such a desolate death?"
Jiang Tian remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Sheng felt somewhat uneasy.
But Jiang Tian never mentioned it again.
She carefully wiped Wei Yunting's face and traced his features before telling Xiao Sheng that she had to take her leave.
Xiao Sheng couldn't figure out what she meant; he only felt that she was frighteningly calm.
After she left, Xiao Sheng immediately sent people to follow her and ordered his men to report her every move to him.
Sure enough, that night, while Xiao Sheng was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his subordinates suddenly sent an urgent report.
Jiang Tian acted suspiciously at night, and around midnight, she attempted to hang herself.
If her subordinates hadn't intervened in time, she wouldn't have been saved.
Xiao Sheng's mind went blank. He rode his horse at full speed all the way to Jiang Tian's residence, where he saw her lying in bed.
"Do you want to die?" Xiao Sheng asked through gritted teeth.
He noticed during the day that Jiang Tian was too quiet and not quite normal. Who would have thought that she would take the most resolute path?
She wants to die!
She wanted to be buried with Wei Yunting!
Xiao Sheng's emotions were boiling, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Yes, I want to die. Your Majesty, please grant my wish. When the time comes, put his body and mine together so that we can meet again in the next life."
Jiang Tian's eyes were vacant, and even her lips had lost their color.
Xiao Sheng suddenly squatted down, met her gaze, and said in a tone that seemed to contain hatred: "I will not allow you to die!"
