"It is I," the Crown Princess said calmly.
Wei Qingye was taken aback. "What are you doing here? Did you come here to laugh at me too?"
The Crown Princess stepped forward and reached out to help her up.
"Don't touch me." Wei Qingye pushed his hand away.
The Crown Princess was somewhat injured. "The ground is cold. Let me help you up."
Wei Qingye remained unmoved.
Do you really have to do this?
Wei Qingye was somewhat surprised, seemingly having never seen her husband speak to her like this before. Her impression of him was probably...
I don't remember her much. Yeah, she had no presence at all, or rather, she was always obedient, to the point of being submissive, and never disobeyed her.
"Yes, your leg is broken, but there are many people in the world who are worse off than you. You should cheer up instead of complaining."
Wei Qingye remained unmoved. Anyone can say nice things; it's just that it hasn't happened to her yet.
"At least you're still a princess, what are you afraid of? Tell me, what are you afraid of?"
What is she afraid of? Is she afraid that people will laugh at her?
Who dares?
She killed her!
Fear of losing her position as Crown Princess?
But she didn't actually seek this position; it was just a windfall that fell from the sky. She didn't seem to care much about it, and losing it wouldn't be a big deal.
Afraid of losing those beauties?
As long as she remains a princess and has money, what kind of man or woman can't she have?
Yes, what is she afraid of?
But she could no longer stand up!
She became a cripple.
"I can never stand up again."
The Crown Princess felt a pang of heartache. "I will be your legs. Where do you want to go? I'll take you, okay?"
Wei Qingye couldn't deny that she felt a momentary flutter in her heart, even if it was just a fleeting acceleration of her heartbeat, it was a feeling she had never experienced in all her years of life.
Seeing Wei Qingye staring straight at her, the Crown Princess thought she didn't believe her and quickly said, "It's true, you can go wherever you want. I can carry you there; I'm very strong."
Wei Qingye laughed, but as she laughed, tears streamed down her face. She realized that she seemed to have wasted so many years of her life.
She had never really looked at her husband properly before; she never knew he was so handsome.
The beauty of those women from the past has faded; they all seem to look the same, yet each one is unique.
But in the end, they all transformed into the image of the man before us.
When the Crown Princess saw Wei Qingye laugh and then cry, she didn't know what she meant.
It took a while before I heard, "I'm very heavy, please don't mind."
After the rain comes sunshine, and the path turns around; whether it's a blessing or a curse, who knows if it's not?
Southern Capital Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter written by the sixth princess of the Northern Dynasty."
Nan Lin raised an eyebrow. Why would Wei Wangqing write him a letter when he had nothing better to do?
Nanlin took it and opened it.
Your Majesty the Southern Emperor writes: Nan Xiangrong has been assassinated, and someone attempted to abduct her, suspected to be someone from your Southern Dynasty using her to blackmail Nan Xiangyue.
Keep your Southern Dynasty in check, and don't let them provoke my Great Wei again.
—Wei Wangqing, the sixth princess of the Northern Dynasties
With a 'bang,' Nan Lin slammed the letter down on the table as soon as he finished reading it.
The people below were shocked. What exactly did the sixth princess of the Northern Dynasty write to make His Majesty so furious? After all, His Majesty was always one to keep his emotions in check, and only the Empress could sway him.
Oh, right, we also have to add the newborn princess.
Even though the ministers were dissatisfied that the Empress had given birth to a princess and pleaded with His Majesty to expand his harem, His Majesty refused them all and instead doted on the little princess.
Nan Lin was furious that someone dared to harm Yue'er. He had protected Yue'er with layers of protection, so no one could find a loophole. But he did not expect that person's reach to be so far, actually extending to the Great Wei.
Yue'er's mother and brother would only be her weaknesses. The thought of someone using Yue'er's family to blackmail her made Nanlin furious.
He would never allow anyone in the Southern Dynasty to threaten Yue'er's existence!
"Useless! You're all useless! You couldn't even take Nan Xiangrong with you! What use are you to me?"
"Master, please calm down and give us another chance. We will definitely..."
"Ah! Ah—" The leader died instantly.
"I said, I won't keep useless people."
I'll give you another chance? Then who will give it to me?
After this incident, Prince An could not possibly be unprepared. That old woman was not easy to deal with, and it would be difficult to make a move against her again.
He is now facing difficulties in the Southern Dynasty, a far cry from the days when the young emperor was still alive.
Nan Lin is truly terrifying, relentlessly pressing forward. If he doesn't make a move soon, he might really be cornered.
With his great cause yet to be accomplished, how could he possibly die before even achieving his goal, falling victim to this greenhorn, Nan Lin?
In the end, the Empress cruelly deposed Wei Qingye from her position as Crown Princess, for the Great Wei could not have a disabled monarch.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the sixth princess was not made crown princess.
She always felt that her daughter's fate was somewhat strange, since the host had clearly said that she would be free from all responsibilities after reaching adulthood.
However, the recent series of mishaps involving the crown princess she had chosen made her think of her sixth daughter.
Are they all controlled by her?
Moreover, it seems that Great Wei has been plagued by misfortunes ever since she returned.
Once you start thinking in this direction, you'll inevitably end up blaming everything on Wei Wangqing.
The Queen felt that she needed to have the abbot take another look at the matter before she could feel at ease.
If it weren't for the fact that she really didn't have many children left, or that she was the only qualified heir, the Empress would have wanted to send Wei Wangqing back to the villa, far away, and never let her come back.
The fourth princess—no, she has now been granted the title of Princess Ping, meaning peace and safety—is someone the Empress feels guilty towards. She already has a broken leg, and now she is being stripped of her title as Crown Princess.
Therefore, after being granted the title of King Ping, she was also given a host of rewards and a fertile fiefdom, so that others would not look down on her or laugh at her.
Xiao Si is her daughter; how could she allow others to bully her?
Contrary to popular belief, King Ping was not disheartened. Instead, after gaining a sense of peace, Wei Qingye lived a more carefree and leisurely life.
This time, the carefree feeling refers not to the body, but to the mind.
Wei Qingye and Wang Jun seemed to have returned to their honeymoon period. No, it seemed that their honeymoon period had passed by hastily, and she didn't even remember it.
In short, the two experienced a kind of fun they had never had before.
Prince Ping also felt that this period was the happiest time since he married the Fourth Princess.
To put it bluntly, he preferred the Fourth Princess with her broken leg. Now, the Fourth Princess would only stay by his side, without those other women, and was devoted to him wholeheartedly.
He would rather the Fourth Princess stay like this forever!
He despises his own selfishness, yet he also enjoys the favor of the Fourth Princess.
King Ping felt very conflicted.
Wei Wangqing was indeed happy, happy that the Empress had not made her the Crown Princess.
She didn't know what happened. The Empress clearly had so many children, so how come in the end only she and the Eighth Princess were left?
Now she only hopes that the Empress can live a long and long life, preferably until the Eighth Princess comes of age, that would be even better!
