In any case, marrying Wei Tingsi's younger sister was better than marrying his cousin, so he didn't hesitate much and went to the palace.
It's not like he's the one who wants to marry Wei Yunshu, it's her who wants to marry him, what business is it of his?
Emperor Mingde is currently on the verge of death and is waiting for Zhao Bi to bring him good luck through a marriage ceremony. Zhao Bi recounted the story of the fifth daughter of the Wei family and mentioned that Wei Yunshu and he were in love, asking for their blessing.
Having experienced the pain of separation from his beloved, how could Emperor Mingde bear to see his own son suffer that heart-wrenching pain again?

After years of ignoring worldly affairs, the old master of the Wei family stepped forward. With the old master regaining power, he naturally wouldn't dote on Wei Yunshu. Before the seventh day after Wei Zhongshi's death, news came that Wei Yunshu had died suddenly from excessive grief.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao Shu sighed again, "Look, I don't even need to lift a finger. I can just watch them do whatever they want and they'll bring about their own demise."
