Chapter 286: Past Life
The emperor looked at each line carefully, and the more he looked, the stranger his expression became.
"In the previous life, Nanyue Kingdom and Pingxi Marquisate formed an alliance. Ye Yizhen and Jiang Wenzhou re-held their wedding in Nanyue, and the whole country celebrated."
Past life and present life? What the hell?
"After the marriage, Jiang Wenzhou became the Crown Prince of Nanyue, and Ye Yizhen became the Crown Princess."
Li Wuyang said coldly, "This can be considered an old tradition of the Nanyue Kingdom. The son-in-law ascends the throne as emperor, and the princess becomes empress."
"But, isn't this really just his dying fantasy?"
The emperor also thought so, but did not take it seriously and continued reading.
"Three years later, the Xiling Kingdom invaded the border. General Ye led the Northwest Army in a desperate resistance, resulting in countless casualties among the Da Qi soldiers."
"Nanyue and Xiling have formed an alliance, attacking from the south and the west. How despicable."
Even though he knew it was fake, the emperor's face turned dark and he felt unlucky when he saw this.
"Hey, what's this? The First and Second Princes died suddenly in the womb, and the Third Prince went to the Nanyue battlefield to supervise the troops and became disabled?"
"The Fourth Prince went to the Northwest battlefield to supervise the army. He seized command and, greedy for merit, recklessly advanced, causing the Northwest Army to be defeated and the border to be lost. He then forcibly suppressed the news and killed innocent people to claim credit..."
The emperor was so angry that his face turned red, "Beast, I will kill him."
Li Wuyang advised softly, "Your Majesty, this confession may not be true."
The emperor used all his luck to suppress his anger. It was fake, fake!
No one can predict the future.
But, I just felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if it had really happened.
He continued to look down, his eyes lighting up.
"Ninth brother, you are great. When something went wrong on the northwest battlefield, you rushed to the rescue, forcefully took over command, and became famous in one battle. You defeated the Xiling Kingdom in one fell swoop and prevented their ambition to encroach on Da Qi."
I didn't expect that the ninth prince had military talent. I didn't realize it.
Li Wuyang reminded again, "It may not be true."
He still said the same thing, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impatient.
The emperor nodded slightly, "The Fourth Prince was afraid of being held accountable, so he took the initiative and led his men to force the palace, killing the Fifth Prince and a number of royal family members..."
"Bastard, I'm going to kill him."
Li Wuyang discovered that the sick emperor was irritable and easily angered, and his mood was extremely unstable.
"Your Majesty, calm down. Jiang Wenzhou is dead. Everything he said never happened."
The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, not knowing why, but feeling extremely restless.
It might be the pain of losing a son, coupled with physical illness, that caused him to explode.
"I almost fell for that bastard's trick. He was just going crazy before dying, talking nonsense."
Having said that, he still read all the confessions carefully.
He was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Ninth Brother, he said Jinyun is a monster, what do you think?"
Li Wuyang's expression remained calm and composed. "To the Pingxi Marquisate, she is indeed a scourge, a demon, but to the Great Qi, she is a capable minister who has made contributions to both the country and the people."
The emperor nodded slightly.
At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine."
The eunuch came in holding a tray with a bowl of steaming medicinal soup on it. The soup was black and had a bad smell.
The emperor felt uncomfortable when he saw the medicinal soup, "Drink it again, it's so annoying."
The medicine prescribed by the ghost doctor is effective, but it tastes too bad.
"Your Majesty, only by taking the medicine can you get better quickly and deal with government affairs as soon as possible. The memorials have piled up like a mountain."
The emperor pinched his nose, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp, feeling like vomiting.
The chief eunuch immediately brought over two small plates of snacks. The emperor took one look and asked, "What is this?"
The head eunuch smiled and said, "It's almond crisps and pine nut candy. Princess Jinyun wants you to drink the medicine to sweeten your mouth."
He had to admit that Princess Jinyun was very clever. Although she was not in front of him, her thoughtful and considerate details were everywhere.
The spring rain moistened everything silently, gradually breaking down the emperor's defenses.
These were all the emperor's favorites. The emperor raised his lips slightly, picked up a pine nut candy and threw it into his mouth. The sweet taste melted in his mouth, suppressing the bitter taste of the medicine.
He said, "I'm not a child."
Li Wuyang couldn't stand his duplicity and stretched out his right hand, "Give one to me too."
The emperor looked him over and asked arrogantly, "Don't you have any?"
Li Wuyang was silent for a moment, "No."
What is the emperor so proud of? That's his fiancée!
The emperor laughed triumphantly, "Haha, you don't have it, but I do. Jinyun is the most loyal to me and ranks first."
Li Wuyang rolled his eyes. How childish! She was just pretending!
The emperor waved his right hand and said, "If you want to eat, go find her yourself."
"I'll take my leave." Li Wuyang immediately pushed his wheelchair out without looking back.
Looking at his back, the emperor felt mixed emotions, "This boy, he forgot his brother now that he has a wife."
"Otomo, do you think they are suitable?"
We're about to get married, so what if they're not suitable? Should we break up?
Emperors are so capricious.
The chief eunuch didn't want to be disliked. "Princess Jinyun is thoughtful and meticulous, and Prince Rui is capable and decisive. They are a perfect match."
Princess Jinyun has been in charge of the general affairs of the Yangxin Palace these days, so the two of them have more contact.
He found that Princess Jinyun treated him equally and respectfully, which made him feel very comfortable.
Although those court officials were polite to him on the surface, they actually looked down on him as a eunuch deep down in their hearts.
The emperor treated him as a slave and an object.
Only Princess Jinyun is different. She is not arrogant when she is in a high position, and she is not inferior when she is in a low position.
Dare to love and hate, but will not trample on others for no reason.
It's impossible to side with her, but it's okay to say a good word for her.
"Ah." The emperor held the testimony tightly, his expression changing unpredictably.
There is a small pavilion in the courtyard, where Yun Zheng likes to sit and handle things.
She asked her subordinates to pass her a note if they had anything to do, and after she approved it, she would quickly go and deal with it.
This way the efficiency will be high and there will be no jams at each level.
She was writing quickly with a brush, and as she was writing, she heard footsteps.
She looked up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Prince Rui, you're out. Does the Emperor have any instructions?"
Li Wuyang approached her in a wheelchair, raised his eyebrows and said, "Jiang Wenzhou suddenly went crazy before he died and said..."
Yun Zheng was stunned by his words. What? Jiang Wenzhou was reborn? And he was reborn at the time of his beheading?
Oh my god, what kind of luck is this? I must have done too many evil things and was punished by heaven.
"Hahaha."
Seeing her laughing so happily, Li Wuyang was infected and his mood couldn't help but soar, "Is it so funny?"
Yun Zheng couldn't stop laughing. "If it's true, then how could he have been beheaded if he knew so much? Could it be that he was just reborn? Just to experience the feeling of being executed?"
"This unfortunate guy, I don't sympathize with him at all."
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and her smile became incredibly bright. "Serves you right!"
Li Wuyang's eyes were extremely soft. "Do you have any more almond cookies and pine nut candies?"
Yun Zheng was stunned. "Yes, has the emperor finished eating? I'll have someone bring it to you."
Li Wuyang complained aggrievedly, "He won't give me any to eat."
This made Yun Zheng laugh. It was a little cute. What was going on?
"Puff."
Li Wuyang's eyes were filled with tenderness. "Zheng'er, what day do you want to choose for our wedding?"
