Chapter 243: Yellow Bird Plan
"I would always hand it over to the most suitable girl, but I never thought that everything would turn out like this."
When Gu Feixue heard this, she sighed slightly. She waved her hand and a maid appeared behind her.
The girl knelt timidly in front of her, and Wei Yingying seemed to understand something.
One of her hands was chained, and the chain was completely tied to the wall. She spat at her, "You bastard, I treated you well. I never dreamed that you would be like this."
"The young lady has been very kind to me. I've been beaten up many times in the past two or three years. Fortunately, I'm lucky. As for the little bit of money the young lady gave me, it's just a joke. To me, it's just a slap in the face or a piece of candy. If the young lady's family members want to do something wrong, they will definitely be ruined in the future. I know this, so how can I die?"
"So you..."
"Yes, that's why the Empress contacted me before she came to the capital. I'm already the Empress. I know your handwriting perfectly, how you write each stroke, and your tone. I dictated the letter. There are many people in our palace who can imitate other people's handwriting. You, just wish yourself the best."
The girl squatted in front of Wei Yingying the whole time. After she finished her sarcastic remarks, she stood up.
Wei Yingying looked at the girl, her chest suddenly filled with rage, she really wanted to cut this guy into pieces.
"Girl, I'm leaving first."
"You bitch, what on earth did you say? What did you write to my father? Come back, come back."
The girl neither answered nor looked back, and just left straight away. Their master-servant relationship had long been severed.
Seeing that Wei Yingying had become a complete loser, Gu Feixue did not gloat. "You could have won a great victory, but you lost. You will soon know what I had written, because your father will be here soon."
"As for what will happen next, you just wait and see. Close the mouth and trap her in the inner room." Gu Feixue ordered.
Several Yulin guards stepped forward to control her and imprisoned the crying Wei Yingying in the inner room.
Only then did Wei Yingying realize that the plan that seemed to have everything under control was actually full of loopholes.
As for Wei Zhongxian, he was complacent.
He has been doing his best to train Wei Yingying since she was a child, and to make her as versatile as possible. Wei Yingying did live up to everyone's expectations. She learned poetry, songs, calligraphy, chess, and painting, and soon stood out.
She learned to be both vicious and gentle.
She underestimated Yuchi Shuo and even more so despised Gu Feixue, so now she is caught in a dilemma and imprisoned.
The letter concerning her had been delivered to Wei Zhongxian. According to the original plan, Wei Zhongxian would launch a surprise attack after receiving the letter. Now that the late emperor had just passed away, Yuchi Shuo had not yet emerged from the shadow of grief. In other words, he was still relaxed and had no time to settle everything.
At this time, only by taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them when they are unprepared can you achieve a complete victory.
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian had also arrived at Furong Pass under the stars.
The two met and almost hit it off immediately. "So, the King will be able to come to the palace tomorrow?"
"There's no time to lose. Tomorrow is an auspicious day." Wei Zhongxian smiled lecherously. Both men harbored ulterior motives, each with their own calculations and judgments. "Prime Minister, you've devoted yourself wholeheartedly and diligently over these years. I truly don't know how to thank you enough."
"I am so happy to be able to serve you, Your Highness. What's the big deal?"
"When I wear the imperial robe, I will still arrange for you to become a general or a prime minister."
"I, an old minister, hold the highest position and am rich and powerful. My only wish is for you, the Sixth Prince, to become the emperor. I will serve you till my death, and that is nothing."
Yuchi She sent Wei Zhongxian away.
Wei Zhongxian entered the carriage and his eyes immediately became cold.
The fawning, servile attitude just now disappeared, and the staff member next to him asked, "How are the arrangements going, sir?"
"It's perfect. Tomorrow we will arrange for him to fight with us, and we will reap the benefits." Wei Zhongxian only needs to open the door for Yuchi She tomorrow, and everything will change tomorrow.
"They're fighting like two tigers," Wei Zhongxian, who considered himself extremely clever, seemed to have seen hope. "Either they'll both perish, or both will suffer losses. In other words, no matter who's in a weak position, a single attack from me will knock him down. I'm their third possible outcome, hahahaha."
The aide also laughed.
After Wei Zhongxian came over to tip him off, Yuchi She curled his lips coldly, "He thought his plan was flawless, but he didn't know I wouldn't give him anything. Tomorrow he will be the first martyr."
The next day, Wei Zhongxian was off duty. He had already arranged everything. His army was divided into two groups, one guarding near the imperial city, and the other entering the center.
Today, no civil or military officials came.
Gu Feixue was already wearing military uniform. She and Yuchi Shuo rode side by side, and they both reached the top of the city wall in one breath. From there, they looked out and saw the mighty army outside. "Those are the Sixth Prince's men."
On the top of the city wall, everyone's crossbows were aimed at the group of people outside.
But Yuchi Shuo did not order them to kill with a snipe.
"Wait until they get closer."
This group of brave and fierce warriors thought that today would be a day of dynasty change, so they were full of energy.
Soon, the group broke open the Xuanwu Gate and rushed forward.
When they entered the capital, everyone felt strange because there was no one inside.
Normally, there are a lot of common people, but today they seemed to have disappeared. Just when Yuchi She was puzzled, a group of soldiers came rushing over. Their shouts were earth-shaking. There were not many of them, but they were obviously elite soldiers.
Everyone is fighting against each other.
Yuchi She was afraid of missing the opportunity, so he rushed forward while dispersing a group of people to prepare to meet Wei Zhongxian.
As for Wei Zhongxian, his people were settled everywhere. Seeing that Yuchi She and Yuchi Shuo were fighting a fierce blocking battle, he was complacent.
But what made the two men feel strange today was that there were no civilians along the way. As for the officers and soldiers, today's security seemed to be absolutely different from usual. There were a lot of them, and there were ambushes near almost every city gate.
So far, everything is going according to plan.
Soon, Yuchi She entered the palace.
As for Wei Zhongxian, she had also reunited with Yuchi She, and the two of them arrived at the Qiankun Hall with unstoppable force.
Qiankun Hall.
The door closed and everyone went over to bang on it. An old eunuch inside calmly opened the door.
With a creaking sound, the light of the rising sun flowed into the room.
There was a woman tied up on the ground. She was struggling hard, but how could she break free? The woman looked back and found that her father and the sixth prince were standing in the shining golden light outside the palace. How could she not be defeated at this moment?
The eunuch next to him stepped forward.
The finale of the Six Palaces without a concubine
The old eunuch removed the rag from her mouth.
"Daddy, Your Highness, help, help."
Wei Yingying burst into tears, the fear of death had enveloped her. When Wei Zhongxian saw this, he realized that the person who informed him was not Wei Yingying at all.
But Yuchi She didn't care about anything.
She found that there were only a few eunuchs and guards in the inner room. She smiled grimly and scanned everyone with her black pupils.
"Kill this bitch!"
Yuchi She gave the order, his cold gaze casting a stern light on the eunuch. "You think you can stop my mighty army with just a bunch of small fry? You're really trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. You're overestimating your own abilities."
As he spoke, his subordinates' crossbows were aimed at Wei Yingying. At this moment, Wei Zhongxian was terrified. He clearly felt that something was wrong. What made Wei Zhongxian even more puzzled was that although a large army was approaching, strangely, neither Gu Feixue nor Yuchi Shuo was seen here.
Wei Zhongxian was panicked at this moment, but the plan had to go on.
"The Emperor was terminally ill and wrote a will on his deathbed. The Sixth Prince has come to ascend the throne. The will is in my sleeve now. I will read it to you."
That is of course counterfeit.
Inside the room, everything seemed to be frozen. The eunuchs were fearless, but Wei Yingying was terrified. She knew the other party's plan very well.
Yuchi She felt refreshed, but after taking two steps forward, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The air was filled with the sound of armor rubbing against each other, and then a group of soldiers in golden armor, like gods, rushed from the back to the front. At this moment, Yuchi She seemed to feel the invisible pressure and danger.
No one knew who in the team shot an arrow.
Wei Yingying screamed, and when she looked again, blood was gushing from her chest. She was dead.
Soon the fighting will come into close combat.
Wei Zhongxian watched Wei Yingying die in front of him, and his emotions were like a turbulent sea, which was hard to describe in words.
The two armies charged at each other, and blood immediately flowed out of the palace.
At this moment, Yuchi She saw the emperor. He was shocked because according to the news he had exchanged with Wei Zhongxian, the emperor had passed away seven or eight days ago.
When the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals saw the emperor coming, they gradually retreated and no longer dared to move forward.
"Father!?"
The palace was packed with people, and her voice sounded hollow. The emperor lowered his eyes indifferently, "I never thought you would kill the king now."
"I never thought that my father, who has passed away, is still alive and well."
The emperor scoffed and didn't answer Yuchi She's question. Instead, he cast an interested gaze on Wei Zhongxian across from him. "Wei Zhongxian, you've worked so hard. If it weren't for you constantly helping me with everything, building bridges and paving roads, how could things be going so smoothly here? Why don't you come over here quickly?"
"Your Majesty!"
Wei Zhongxian was a man who changed his attitude according to the situation. Hearing the emperor say this, he was undoubtedly telling Yuchi She that it was him who had exposed him, and the so-called internal and external cooperation was just a conspiracy between him and the emperor.
He was about to approach the emperor, but just as he took a step, his body froze.
Wei Zhongxian slowly lowered his head and saw something sharp at the position of his heart, followed by a twitching pain in his heart.
Behind him, Yuchi She looked fierce, pulled out his long sword, and kicked Wei Zhongxian away.
Wei Zhongxian trembled, "You...you..."
"Those who do evil will eventually perish!" Yuchi She sneered, "I hate people who betray their own people the most."
At this moment, someone reported that the rear wing of his team had been attacked. Soon, the group of people who attacked him had entered the house. When Yuchi She saw who came, it turned out to be Yuchi Shuo and Gu Feixue.
The two stood side by side, a perfect match.
"Brother Prince, you're here." Yuchi Shuo sighed. "We thought you wouldn't come. You made the mistake of trusting Wei Zhongxian so easily. You made one mistake after another and chose to trust our father again. Wei Zhongxian was planning to provoke a war between you and me, and then take advantage of it. Little did he know that a single word from our father would cost him his life."
"You..." Yuchi She couldn't accept all this.
He looked at Gu Feixue and asked, "Weren't you driven away by the emperor?"
"That?" Gu Feixue smiled sweetly, "That's a self-torture trick. If I don't leave, how can you take advantage of it?"
Hearing this, Yuchi She was horrified and added, "But you, Father, will also die. And you, Yuchi Shuo."
"Your Highness, do you mean the poisonous insect? I'm so sorry, we got there first. We've already taken out your poisonous insect. How's that?"
This incredible answer made Yuchi She completely unable to believe it, "How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible."
"The mother insect is in the prince's body. How can it be impossible?" Gu Feixue chuckled.
Seeing that Yuchi She was close to collapse, the emperor waved his hand and said, "The Sixth Prince is plotting treason and regicide. His crime is unforgivable. Come, execute him on the spot."
Yuchi She was still struggling in vain. The Emperor glanced at the soldiers and said, "Why don't you all go and shed your blood on the battlefield instead of following him here? If anyone is willing to turn against us today, I will pardon you and save your lives. We are all from the Imperial Capital. Why bother with swords and hand-to-hand combat? I have given you a chance. If anyone surrenders, I will spare their lives by laying down their weapons."
In an instant, a group of people surrendered.
As for Yuchi Shuo, he naturally died an untimely death.
The capital won a great victory and the emperor was overjoyed.
"Xue'er, you are truly my wise man."
"The Emperor still wants to exonerate my family."
The Emperor would never forget this promise. He waved his hand, and Gu Lang and Gu Tingchuan emerged from the ranks of soldiers. Everyone cheered, kowtowed, and the Emperor sighed, almost repenting. "I believed what I heard and framed you. I exiled you without investigating thoroughly. You've worked hard. Now you've been reinstated and will take up your new post tomorrow."
Gu Lang was well aware of the dangers of officialdom. After discussing with his wife, he decided to live in seclusion in Luzhou and start an idyllic life with men farming and women weaving.
As for Gu Tingchuan, he was conferred the title of First-Class General of Cavalry.
The emperor looked at Gu Feixue and Yuchi Shuo.
"I see your love is stronger than gold and your devotion is unwavering. I am deeply moved and I will grant you marriage now."
The two got their long-cherished wish.
From then on, the capital city ushered in a peaceful and prosperous era. According to Yuchi Shuo's previous agreement, the wedding was postponed until Gu Feixue was fifteen years old, and the two treated each other with courtesy.
Treat cases with respect.
He and she, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and flowers.
She and he, the daily necessities of life.
A year later, the capital city welcomed the most spectacular wedding. At that time, the emperor was old and in declining health, so he abdicated the throne to Yuchi Shuo.
The legend of the emperor and empress is known to everyone, young and old. Now that Gu Feixue is the empress, thinking back to those days of iron cavalry and icy rivers, it seems a bit like a dream. Now that the world is peaceful, no one picks up things on the road and no one locks their doors at night, she feels that she has no place to use her talents.
"My Lady, my Lady, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Feixue came back to her senses after hearing the reminder from her maid Qingyu. She looked at the medical officer in front of her, but saw that he was in high spirits and seemed very happy.
"How? What's wrong with me?"
"My queen, you are pregnant."
A gentle smile appeared on Gu Feixue's lips.
Good, that’s great.
