Chapter 240 A Play
Seeing Wei Yingying anxious, Yuchi Shuo sighed.
Doctor Zhang was extremely anxious and had come to discuss the funeral arrangements with Yuchi Shuo. The two of them went to the next room, where there were already quite a few people. However, they were not from the imperial court, but the talented people he had recruited over the years and the people brought by Gu Feixue.
Everyone discussed it.
Someone spoke up, "The letter has been intercepted. Your Highness, please review it."
A letter was sent over from there, saying that Yuchi She now has more than 70,000 soldiers, plus Wei Zhongxian's 30,000 in the imperial city, there are about 100,000 people.
Just as he was worried, a man rushed in from outside. "Report, I am the General of the Central Army under the command of Duke Zheng. The 100,000 men on Duke Zheng's side are already in position, awaiting Ning's order to march towards the Imperial Capital."
"wonderful."
Yuchi Shuo nodded, "Let's go. Set up camp near Furong Pass."
In fact, Zheng Yannian, who had fought for many years, was a very powerful man. He was used to defeating the enemy with fewer troops and winning with smaller ones. One hundred thousand men were like iron cavalry to him.
As for the imperial capital, Yuchi Shuo also secretly arranged more than 30,000 troops. Judging from the current military strength, they are more than enough to deal with Yuchi She and Wei Zhongxian.
"What's next? What are your plans?"
Some people have started asking.
"Don't worry, let Xue'er take over next."
Doctor Zhang retreated from the room. He looked very anxious and paced back and forth. The emperor was dying, so all the medical officers in the palace were mobilized. They racked their brains but could not find out what was wrong with the emperor. Some people judged that it was a poisonous insect, but more people believed that it was an incurable disease and they needed to find a panacea.
Everyone was very anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, Gu Feixue volunteered.
"Doctor Zhang, I may know what the emperor's illness is."
Doctor Zhang and the others were at a loss. Hearing Gu Feixue's words, everyone's gazes turned to him. Doctor Zhang bowed and asked, "What do you think?"
Someone angrily waved his sleeves and said, "You are just a halberd bearer. If you were to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, you might be able to do it. But as for curing illnesses and saving lives, that is the job of a medical officer. What does it have to do with you? What are you capable of?"
"Back then I..." Gu Feixue was ready to go against everyone's opinion, but no one seemed to listen.
Oh my god!
At this critical moment, Wei Yingying approached.
She couldn't imagine that someone was ready to take a gamble at this critical juncture.
Wei Yingying stood in front of Gu Feixue.
"Don't think," she said, her voice as sharp as a knife, "that you can do whatever you want now that you've forged a false identity. The people of the Imperial Capital don't know who you really are, so they let you pass as the real deal. But I know you perfectly well, and now you're ready to act recklessly. How audacious!"
"I can treat the emperor, and we'll see the result later."
Gu Feixue doesn't care about that.
In the inner court, everyone was at a loss. Gu Feixue volunteered and several imperial physicians came out. Everyone soon started chatting with Gu Feixue. After a brief exchange, seeing that Gu Feixue was so eloquent, they guessed that she could indeed treat the emperor, so they had no choice but to let her give it a try.
"Xue'er, can you really treat the emperor?"
"I'll give it a try. The Emperor is now terminally ill, and this is the worst possible state. Don't be afraid, Your Highness."
Wei Yingying had already approached, "Your Highness, please let her try."
Before, she thought that the two of them were devoted and deeply in love, but now she gradually realized that all this was just an illusion. Wei Chishuo seemed to have no decision-making ability on major issues. This guy who was young, frivolous and arrogant in the eyes of others was actually an ordinary person in her eyes.
"Okay."
Seeing Yuchi Shuo feeling sad, Wei Yingying helped him to the side.
Gu Feixueren has entered the inner room.
As soon as she entered, the emperor woke up and the two of them stared at each other.
The emperor was deeply moved. "Your performance today was so lifelike and brilliant. You will surely be able to deceive them successfully."
"It's just a small performance. Your Majesty needs to wait and see."
A quarter of an hour later, a sound came from the inner room.
The painful sound made people shudder, but Wei Yingying smiled sinisterly. It was obvious that Gu Feixue, who had volunteered, had now hit a snag.
She rushed in and found that someone had already captured Gu Feixue in the inner room, and the emperor was bleeding from all seven orifices.
"You girl, your random treatment is outrageous!"
"He deserves death!"
Yuchi Shuo entered and saw that the emperor had been dead for a long time, so he approached Gu Feixue angrily.
"You killed my father?"
"I……"
Gu Feixue was ready to defend herself, but after a moment of silence, her mouth moved but she couldn't utter a single word.
"How can you cure illnesses and save lives, Xue'er? This is regicide. I can't protect you. You, go." Yuchi Shuo waved his hand dejectedly. At this moment, Wei Yingying walked in. She stood proudly in front of the downtrodden Gu Feixue, "Gu Feixue, you are obviously uneducated and know nothing about medicine, but you still insisted on recommending yourself to treat the emperor. Now the emperor has been killed by you. What crime should you be punished for?"
"This crime is unforgivable!"
In anger, Yuchi Shuo stepped forward, drew his sword, and then covered her eyes.
But after hearing Gu Feixue's scream, she was already dead.
Seeing that Gu Feixue was dead, several eunuchs took the body out. Wei Yingying was very happy.
Now we still need to take care of the emperor's funeral, and we can't be without a leader, so Yuchi Shuo just became the emperor naturally.
Now Yuchi Shuo relies heavily on Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian hurriedly launched an investigation and prepared to encircle and wipe out all the people related to Gu Feixue in the capital and kill them all.
But things went against his wishes. When he went to look for them with great effort, both Gu Lang and Gu Tingchuan had disappeared.
On the other side, Gu Feixue and the emperor appeared near Furong Pass.
It was Gu Tingchuan's men who escorted them away. After successfully arriving behind enemy lines, Gu Feixue sent a pigeon to Yuchi Shuo to report their safety.
The emperor was puzzled to see her scribbling on the paper. "What is this?"
This form of communication has been going on for many years, and two people can see at a glance what the other person is doing from the pictures.
Gu Feixue drew a cliff, countless black spots to symbolize Yuchi She's people, and all kinds of strange things. These seemed bizarre to the emperor, but were clear to Yuchi Shuo.
"Have you two become so in tune with each other?" The emperor touched his chin.
"I have been communicating with him like this since seven years ago." Gu Feixue said as she put the letter into the bamboo tube, touched the pigeon affectionately, and threw it out.
But with a flutter of the wings, the pigeon disappeared into the night sky.
"I never thought he would come back."
"We have given them the best opportunity. Now the Emperor can see the truth of the world's cruelty!"
