Chapter 239: The Realm of Art
From this look, not to mention the medical officer, anyone would know that the emperor would not live long.
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but sigh.
He dismissed the man.
The man walked away.
"Now, I..." The emperor's breath was weak, his acting skills no less than those of a popular veteran actor, "I am about to die. When I pass away, you must assist the Crown Prince well. You must not be careless or disobey. Otherwise, when you die a hundred years later, I will hold you accountable."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I, an old minister, will definitely assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The emperor closed his eyes in satisfaction, looking even more haggard than before, "I..."
"Please say it, please say it." Wei Zhongxian was anxious.
He really wanted the emperor to order the throne to be passed to Yuchi She. In fact, everyone had his own plans and ulterior motives.
Now that the good is one foot high, let’s see “the devil is one foot higher”.
"I can't let him be alone. I made a wish, and I can't regret it forever. The date we had set for them was next month, but now I plan ahead. Let's get them married the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, yes."
Wei Zhongxian was very happy.
Could it be that the emperor has become senile and confused?
With the emperor's confusing plan, wouldn't it be easier for him to ascend to the throne?
After retreating from the Qiankun Hall, Wei Zhongxian immediately sent a pigeon letter to the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince had been wandering around Jiangzhou before, but when he learned that Gu Feixue and Yuchi Shuo had arrived in the capital, he immediately took action. Within two days, the army had set up camp near Furong Pass.
Furong Pass is the last barrier besides Yanmen Pass, Juyong Pass and Jiayu Pass. In other words, throughout history, as long as the bandits who rose up in rebellion crossed Furong Pass, it would be as easy as taking candy from a sack for them to reach the capital.
Now the Sixth Prince is waiting for Wei Zhongxian's plan.
Wei Zhongxian had already returned home. He happily shared the news with Wei Yingying, but Wei Yingying wasn't happy at all. "Did the Emperor tell you this himself? Father, I heard that Mr. Xue is Gu Feixue, and they were deeply in love. After all, he loved Gu Feixue, not me. Isn't this just a forced interpretation?"
"Secondly," the girl was quite clever, and asked shrewdly, "Secondly, has Yuchi Shuo agreed?"
This quasi-plan made her a little strange, and Wei Yingying, full of doubts, asked a lot of questions in one breath.
Wei Zhongxian, on the other hand, was obsessed with money and gain.
He couldn't believe that the emperor, who was already dying, had set a trap.
"The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day for you to get married. From now on, you will be the Crown Princess. You must be happy. He will definitely treat you well in the future. If not, father will always find a way to make him stay by your side."
After everything was discussed, a letter was sent by carrier pigeon.
Yuchi She, who was near Furong Pass, had already received the letter.
It’s a pity that it’s all fake.
In fact, Gu Tingchuan, who had left earlier, had already circled back to the back of Yuchi She's team. He had already investigated Yuchi She's whereabouts, but he did not move his troops because the soldiers of the king of a different surname in the emperor's hands were still thousands of miles away and had not been dispatched back. Zheng Yannian was handling this matter.
The carrier pigeon was shot down by Yuchi Shuo. It turned out to be a conspiracy between inside and outside. After discussing with Gu Feixue, Yuchi Shuo modified the content and changed the agreed meeting place from Xuanwu Gate to Qinglong Gate. He also wrote a letter to the Sixth Prince in the tone of Wei Zhongxian, letting Yuchi She understand that the emperor was in danger now and he could forge the imperial edict of succession.
Isn't this just empty promises?
Everything is settled.
In the next day, the palace was busy with arrangements. Although this was a false conspiracy, marriage was marriage after all, and the person she loved was marrying someone she had no feelings for at all. This was a heavy blow to Gu Feixue.
Just as everything was about to proceed, Yuchi Shuo sighed, "Seeing you look so worried, I'm not happy either. Why don't we just not do this?"
"This is one of our closely linked plans. If we abandon this plan, everything in the future will go wrong." Gu Feixue turned to Yuchi Shuo.
"It's just hard work for you."
He looked at her.
His eyes were deep, filled with unspeakable sincerity, and Gu Feixue could already tell something from his eyes.
The next day, the two got married.
This marriage was also an unexpected surprise for Wei Yingying.
As night fell, he took off her red veil, and the two looked at each other. Yuchi Shuo tried to make his eyes as gentle and intimate as possible. As for Wei Yingying, she stared at the person opposite her with melancholy.
He was a complete stranger to her.
"Today is our wedding day, are you happy?" he asked her.
"Of course I'm happy." Any woman would probably be delighted when he said that.
The two of them did not harm each other that night because Yuchi Shuo was drunk.
Early the next morning, Gu Feixue was wandering outside Yuchi Shuo's palace.
She got up, feeling elated, like a dry rose being watered by the rain. She came out of the inner court and the two met each other. Gu Feixue was reluctant to see Wei Yingying, but everything that happened today seemed inevitable.
"Gu Feixue?" Her voice was as cold as ice, carrying a kind of life-or-death power rarely seen in women. "Do you think you can get away with calling yourself Xue'er? It's outrageous. It's even harder to pass yourself off as someone you're not."
"Crown Princess." Gu Feixue turned around and looked at the arrogant Wei Yingying. "Don't be so arrogant. Do you think that just because you are the Crown Princess now, you can become the future emperor's wife?"
Wei Yingying knew exactly what weapon would be most effective in humiliating and harming the girl opposite her. "I still don't need to be the emperor's wife. Now I'm much more powerful than you."
"Gu Feixue, in this palace, it's either you or me. Now that our family's reputation is rising, and the emperor is buried in his grave, we will soon completely conquer the world. And what about you? You are not even worthy of carrying my shoes in the future."
Hearing this, Gu Feixue sneered, turned and left.
Wei Yingying saw that Gu Feixue had left, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
After returning home, Wei Zhongxian was already planning how to use troops. On the surface, he was obedient to the Sixth Prince, but in reality he had no such intention. He would lure the Sixth Prince to the capital, and then sow discord between Yuchi She and Yuchi Shuo so that they would exploit each other, and he would reap the benefits in the future.
"But no matter what you do, Dad, I hope you won't hurt him, okay?"
"I understand." The other side nodded.
On the second day after their wedding, the emperor's illness became serious and everyone was ready.
At this critical moment, Gu Feixue appeared.
"How is father?" Wei Yingying sighed at the door. She looked more anxious than anyone else, but in fact she was cursing the emperor to die soon.
Only when the emperor dies will their future destiny undergo a qualitative change and leap.
