Chapter 234: Marriage is not one's own choice
He was as fast as he was when he was young. He had finished reading the file in front of him with a wave of his hand. Gu Feixue saw that Pei Yan suddenly fell silent after finishing reading, and she felt a little anxious.
She was about to mumble something, but was caught by Mrs. Gu next to her.
The lady shook her head gently, signaling Gu Feixue not to interfere.
She has always been so knowledgeable, well-mannered and elegant.
Pei Yan finished reading and gnashed his teeth, saying, "It was precisely because the emperor listened to both sides that he made such a big mistake. Many people gave false testimony at that time."
"Perjured testimony?" Gu Feixue was slightly surprised. "They've confused right and wrong."
"We can't blame them entirely. He was so unstoppable back then. Anyone criticizing him would be like provoking trouble. And I was arrested. I am a lesson for them. Therefore..." Pei Yan was dejected and sighed.
Finally, it was Gu Feixue's turn to speak. "Then please recommend a few people and I'll go find them right away."
"Okay, Xue'er, you must be careful." Pei Yan said as he wrote quickly, and soon wrote out several names, including the Censorate, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Minister of Revenue, etc.
Gu Feixue took a look and asked, "Are these people still alive?"
"Of course I did. I investigated them after I got out. They owe us a debt." Pei Yan growled indignantly. Gu Feixue nodded, "Don't worry, Master Pei. I will make them pay the price.
Gu Feixue turned away and left.
On the other side, the emperor had summoned Wei Zhongxian.
"Sir Wei, you're truly in high spirits. Look at how proud you look," a eunuch said, flatteringly and smiling as he led the way. "Watch your step. Be careful."
Wei Zhongxian smiled.
It was like she was about to become the emperor's in-law. The whole world seemed to be treating her in a friendly manner. "Isn't it? From now on, my daughter will be the princess."
Although the matter has not been finalized, it is already an invisible engagement, it is just a matter of time. Today the emperor summoned me, probably to discuss an auspicious day for the wedding. The eunuch carefully escorted Wei Zhongxian to the Dragon Court.
After entering the inner room, the emperor smiled and said, "Sit down. From now on, there is no need to be polite when you see me. All the red tape can be omitted."
Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian was secretly dissatisfied, but he still spoke in a humble manner.
As expected, the emperor talked to him about the wedding process, time, follow-up arrangements, etc. Wei Zhongxian felt strange that the emperor was more anxious than himself, but he wanted to make this happen more than the emperor, and the two hit it off.
As long as it was a plan and a charter given by the emperor, Wei Zhongxian would nod his head.
On the other hand, the news soon reached Yuchi Shuo's ears.
Not to mention Yuchi Shuo, even the Sixth Prince Yuchi She had already received the news.
"He married Wei Yingying?" This news was like a bombshell.
"I'm afraid my father is plotting something?" The Sixth Prince knew that the Emperor was not that simple.
Over the years, every one of his plans has been flawless and incredibly accurate. How could the emperor arrange such a thing for him when the prince totally disagreed? Moreover, Yuchi Shuo is a rebellious person, how could he agree to the emperor's arrangement?
"Where's Gu Feixue? Where is she?"
"Her?" The staff looked at him. "Our undercover agent has sent a message saying that Gu Feixue has been depressed for a long time. I don't know what will happen to her."
"Continue to observe."
The man stepped back.
After a while, another person came in.
"Your Highness!"
"How's the progress on the things I asked you to arrange?" Yuchi She was surrounded by two beauties on both sides. He pinched the girl on the left, and the girl on the left grumbled softly, "You are so mean, Your Highness."
The man kneeling before him blushed. "Everything has been arranged. We are waiting for your order."
"Understood. Stand down."
He was waiting, waiting for the capital to fall into chaos. He was also waiting, thinking that Wei Zhongxian would definitely join forces with him. As for Wei Yingying's matter, this was also arranged by Wei Zhongxian. He must have another plan behind it.
Recently, he needs to arrange the team in a hurry to prepare for any emergency.
Everything is brewing secretly.
In the capital, Yuchi Shuo has found Gu Feixue, but Gu Feixue is unwilling to meet him.
"Your Highness is already engaged, and it is inappropriate for you to visit me in the middle of the night. And you are so pretentious. What is your meaning?" She did not let him in and leaned her back against the door.
He didn't dare to come in rashly, as there was a door between them.
"Xue'er, I fell in love with you at first sight since I first saw you. How come you don't understand me yet?"
"Love at first sight?" Gu Feixue had never lost her composure like this before. She just felt that she was being teased. She smiled bitterly and then pulled the door open. Her pair of smart and beautiful eyes stared at Yi intently. These eyes made his soul suffer.
Yuchi Shuo hugged Gu Feixue.
"Let me go, please let me go."
She struggled hard, wanting to punch and kick this guy, but it was no use. He hugged her tightly. After struggling for a while, she finally gave up and could only let him hold her like this.
Then he straightened her face.
"Xue'er, are you willing to be my Crown Princess?"
"It's ridiculous. You are already planning to marry her. What does your perfect match have to do with me? And now you are asking for my opinion?" Gu Feixue felt as if her heart was taken away by an invisible hand. Her chest felt empty and painful.
He moved closer to her and gave her a long kiss.
The kiss was light as a dragonfly at first, but soon it took over. Gu Feixue blushed, but finally surrendered.
She hit him with her fists, but was afraid of really hurting him.
She pushed him away, then angrily pulled him back, repeating this over and over again until they finally reconciled. "That was a conspiracy, a conspiracy from beginning to end. I did this just to paralyze Wei Zhongxian. He was planning to bring back the Sixth Prince from thousands of miles away. The two of us worked together from the inside."
Hearing this, Gu Feixue breathed a sigh of relief, and her brows, which had been slightly furrowed just now, relaxed. "Really?"
"Father's words are golden, how could they be false? We are still preparing for a rainy day."
After hearing this, Gu Feixue understood.
She then asked, "Can I still go to see the emperor?"
"Why not?"
He said.
The next day, after the morning court session ended, Gu Feixue and Yuchi Shuo arrived at the palace. The emperor was not in a good condition and his health was deteriorating.
"I won't live long. You've worked so hard, treating me every day and hoping I'll get better, but my condition is getting worse day by day." The emperor looked at the old doctor beside him.
This man was busy almost every day for her. He tried his best for the emperor, but the effect was not very good.
