They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Sometimes, a sentence or a word can reveal a lot.

Li Ce's words also had a different meaning to Lu Qingshuang's ears.

She replied respectfully: "Yes, I will remember it."

Then she turned and walked out of the study, leading Li Ce to the main courtyard.

In the side room of the main courtyard, Wei Fuxue looked haggard and fidgeted.

Three days have passed.

Her heart has been in torment. Anxiety, worry and panic have eroded her heart and made her unable to sleep or eat.

Although Lu Qingshuang was polite to her and asked several maids to serve her, she did not allow her to leave the room.

Wei Fuxue learned from her maid that the King of Qi had failed and the King of Jing had been named the Crown Prince, and she no longer had any hope for the King of Qi.

There is no way Li Ce would let Li Jian go.

Now she only hoped that Li Ce would spare her two children.

I don't ask for wealth, I just want to keep my life. Even if I can just be an ordinary citizen, as long as I can live a stable life, that's enough.

Wei Fuxue begged Lu Qingshuang several times, wanting to meet Li Ce and plead for her two children.

I originally thought it was impossible to achieve, but I didn't expect that Li Ce actually came in the afternoon of that day.

When Wei Fuxue saw Li Ce walking into the house wearing bright yellow prince's robes, she was in a trance for a moment.

We had just met a few days ago, but when we met again at this moment, it felt like a long time had passed.

Looking at Li Ce in front of him, Wei Fuxue felt unfamiliar.

"Are you looking for me?"

Li Ce spoke in a deep voice, bringing Wei Fuxue back to her senses.

She calmed herself down and knelt down.

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite. We have known each other for many years. It's okay to speak frankly."

Li Ce walked to the table and sat down.

Wei Fuxue saw that his attitude was much colder than before, and looked anxious: "I didn't know that Li Jian wanted to plot against you that day. He said that there were too many misunderstandings between us, and you refused to listen to his explanation, so he asked me to meet you to clear up the misunderstandings..."

At the end, she couldn't continue.

"I was stupid, so I believed him. I don't want to defend Li Jian. He intended to kill the king and usurp the throne. You can do whatever you want to him. But Ping'er and Liang'er are innocent!"

Wei Fuxue's eyes were red.

"They are still young and know nothing about their father. Can you please show some leniency and spare their lives?"

Wei Fuxue begged desperately, almost kneeling down.

Li Ce just looked at her without saying anything for a long time.

Only at last did he sigh and speak.

"After leaving for the palace that day, Li Jian ordered his men to quietly send Li Chengliang away and hide him. Later, there was chaos in the city, and the guards protecting Li Chengliang clashed with the rebels of the Liaodong Army."

He spoke slowly and calmly, but Wei Fuxue had a bad feeling when she listened.

"Liang Er, he... he... is he..."

Her voice was trembling, and she wanted to ask, but she couldn't.

Li Ce glanced at her with compassion in his eyes.

"He died in the internal fighting between the Liaodong rebels and the palace guards. When the reinforcements found him, he was already dead."

Wei Fuxue's body swayed, the blood color drained from his face, and in an instant his face turned as pale as paper.

She held onto the table, her ten nails gripping the corners tightly.

Her long, shiny pink nails were broken and bleeding, but she seemed unaware.

died……

Her son actually died in an internal fight among his own people.

Even though she had previously guessed that her son might not survive, she was worried that the child would be bullied and killed by the emperor in a fit of rage.

But she never expected that her son would die in this way.

To the point that Wei Fuxue didn't even know who to hate.

She suppressed her grief and wanted to ask about her daughter's condition, but suddenly she felt dizzy, her vision suddenly went dark, and she slid off the table.

Li Ce subconsciously grabbed her arm, and when he saw that she had fainted, he shouted outside the house.

"Somebody come!"

Two maids pushed the door open and followed closely behind them was Lu Qingshuang.

Lu Qingshuang was shocked by the situation in the room.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

Li Ce carried Wei Fuxue to the couch and waved his hand for the maid to come forward.

"He was hit hard and passed out. Go ask Doctor Zeng to come and take a look."

He stood up straight, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little annoyed.

Lu Qingshuang nodded, turned around and gave the maid a few instructions before walking forward.

"Your Highness, given Wei's condition, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send her back to the Wei family. Now the Wei family only has the elderly, the weak, the women and the children left, and they can't take care of themselves, so who can take care of her? Maybe the Wei family will vent their anger on her. It's better to let her stay in the palace! I'll find someone to take good care of her."

Li Ce frowned again.

The Wei family's crime has already been determined, and the female members will not be implicated. As long as Wei Fuxue returns, he can be temporarily spared from imprisonment.

After a while, when her father's anger has subsided, she can find someone to plead for mercy, and her life can basically be saved.

But after hearing what Lu Qingshuang said, it seemed that returning to the Wei family was not a good thing.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ce waved his hand casually.

"It's up to you!"

He flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back and walked out.

When he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"I will go to the East Palace first. I have troubled you in the mansion these days. Wait until the East Palace is ready, and then choose an auspicious day to move there!"

Lu Qingshuang naturally would not have any objection.

"Your Highness, when do you think it would be a good day to move?"

Li Ce replied without thinking: "Maybe in a month! After Jiang finishes her confinement."

Lu Qingshuang's eyes flashed, then quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Your Highness has thought it through. I'll take note of it."

Li Celue nodded, then walked away again.

The crown prince had just been appointed, the officials of the Eastern Palace had not yet been decided, and there were still many things in the court waiting for him to deal with. Half a day was already the limit for him to be able to leave the palace. After meeting Wei Fuxue, Li Ce had no time to see anyone else. He left the palace directly, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the palace.

Not long after he walked out of the main courtyard, Wei Fuxue woke up.

When her mind was still groggy and she hadn't fully come to her senses yet, she heard Lu Qingshuang's voice.

"Sister Wei is awake? What a coincidence, His Highness just left."

Wei Fuxue sat up with difficulty.

She didn't notice that Lu Qingshuang's way of addressing her had changed, as she was only thinking about the child.

"My daughter... How is Ping'er?"

Lu Qingshuang patted her back gently: "Sister Wei, don't worry, Qixia is fine. She has been taken to Prince Ding's mansion. As you know, Princess Ding has always liked her very much."

Wei Fuxue breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could completely exhale, she heard Lu Qingshuang continue speaking.

"Your Highness originally wanted you to return to the Wei family, but now the Wei family has no one in charge, and there are only a few orphans and widows left..."

Wei Fuxue's whole body stiffened.

"What do you mean by orphans and widows? How come there are only orphans and widows left?"

Lu Qingshuang covered her mouth with her hands, revealing an expression of surprise and annoyance.

"Ah... I forgot Sister Wei doesn't know that after Prince Qi... Li Jian was convicted, the Wei family was also convicted. The emperor ordered that all adult males of the Wei family be beheaded. By now, they should have all been executed."

Wei Fuxue felt cold all over.
