Wei Wei found this very funny: "Then your fifth brother definitely won't go."
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow: "But Father has already given the order."
Wei Wei said, "Since the Fifth Prince is already vying for the position of Crown Prince, he will definitely try his best to ruin this matter."
She looked at her with a smile, extremely alluring in the moonlight.
As Jiang Yu looked at him, his eyes grew even deeper.
Wei Wei, however, was unaware of this and continued to express her thoughts: "Actually, if the Fifth Prince is unwilling to go, there are still ways to resolve this."
"Illness, injury".
"Any one of them could escape."
She turned to look at Jiang Yu: "Don't you think so...?"
Before she could see Jiang Yu's face, her mouth was sealed by warm lips.
Jiang Yu felt that although her voice was pleasant, it was always lacking something compared to her charm.
He hadn't known what was missing before, but tonight, looking at those bright red lips from his perspective, he finally understood.
Many of his fantasies about her over the countless nights were fulfilled to some extent today.
Her lips and teeth left a lingering fragrance, making him want to be completely immersed in it.
Until he felt Wei Wei collapse limply into his arms.
Jiang Yu then let her off this time out of pity.
His voice was hoarse and seductive as it slowly whispered in her ear: "What Awei said makes a lot of sense. I think it's probably true too."
Wei Wei's face had turned as red as an apple.
She could no longer look up at him, and just huddled in his arms like an innocent and pitiful child.
The conversation just now could not continue.
Seeing her so shy, with eyes like pools of spring water, Jiang Yu was captivated once again.
His throat bobbed, longing to taste her sweetness once more.
He wasn't a saint; seeing someone so easy to bully, he naturally wanted to bully them even more thoroughly.
But he was also afraid that she would be scared.
I could only force myself to take deep breaths.
He thought he needed to speed up his plans.
After talking for a while, before leaving, Jiang Yu said, "I will find the most appropriate time as soon as possible to ask my father for an imperial decree to grant us a marriage."
"Don't worry about anything while you're at the Gu residence."
The blush on Wei Wei's face had not completely disappeared.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. He made it sound like she was desperate to get married.
Her adorable appearance made Jiang Yu chuckle again. He then lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply before turning around, climbing over the wall, and disappearing from sight.
Wei Wei stood there for a moment before slowly and leisurely returning to the house.
Their relationship always seemed clandestine, coming and going secretly.
Fortunately, we will soon see the light of day again.
——
Wei Wei's guess was correct.
After receiving the imperial decree to go south to handle matters, the fifth prince fell seriously ill within three days.
Two imperial physicians were sent, but neither could offer a definitive diagnosis.
Although the emperor was not furious, his eyes changed completely every time he mentioned him.
The Fifth Prince naturally sensed this as well, but faced with his father's doubts, he felt that staying in the capital was infinitely better.
Now that he holds great power, he will force the position of crown prince into his hands, even if it means coercing him!
After several days of maneuvering, the demand from the court for the emperor to establish a crown prince has become unprecedentedly high.
This also makes one wonder if the Fifth Prince did something behind the scenes.
The emperor vaguely rejected it several times, but finally agreed this morning.
Then he summoned several ministers to the Imperial Study to discuss the matter.
The very next day, news spread that a fourth prince was to be established.
After all, there was no legitimate heir to establish the eldest son, and although the fourth prince's maternal family was not prominent, it was still a scholarly family. He himself was also very peaceful and honest, and had never done anything wrong.
This news immediately caused a huge uproar behind the scenes!
Jiang Yu and Prime Minister Gu felt that the time was not right, and that the Fifth Prince would also interfere.
They'll assess the situation first.
The Fifth Prince's faction, however, became extremely angry due to their recent arrogance.
One of the ministers stepped forward in front of the emperor and stood in the main hall, listing many of the fourth prince's shortcomings.
The emperor's face grew increasingly dark as he listened, and he loudly ordered him to leave immediately!
He did retreat, taking two steps back before shouting loudly, "Heaven does not bless the Great Cang Kingdom!"
After saying that, he rushed towards a pillar. If the palace guards hadn't reacted quickly, he would have smashed his head open!
What do you do when you encounter such a crazy person?
The emperor exclaimed that this was truly outrageous!
So, in a fit of anger, he fell ill, and the eunuch beside him immediately called for the imperial physician.
The next day, he was unable to get up from the dragon bed to attend court.
Logically speaking, after angering the Emperor to this extent, the Fifth Prince's men should have quieted down.
Unfortunately, they were so anxious that they lost all sense of proportion, fearing that the fourth prince would actually become the crown prince.
The next night, while the Fourth Prince was out of the palace on business, an assassin was sent to kill him with a single blow!
The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood and was truly unable to get up.
"The traitor! The traitor!"
He shouted a few times with a ferocious expression, his face turning both pale and blue.
The Empress anxiously calmed his chest and comforted him, "Fifth Prince has always been obedient, how could he suddenly become like this?"
"He's the most capable of all these brothers, so what's there to be afraid of?"
The emperor, panting heavily, said, "If he still had any chance before, the death of the fourth prince has completely extinguished any hope he had!"
