Marry a Duke

The eldest princess also went to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion. She had already seen Wei Xuan and was sure that even if Wei Xuan was not dead at that time, his time was almost up now.

He was just stalling for time.

The eldest princess was in a very good mood.

Even though her means of collecting money and property had been exposed, those people did not dare to expose her.

As for the British public——

He is just a chess piece of hers, and she can kill him at any time.

So what if he confessed? She had her own ways to deny it.

"Princess, the emperor is here."

"Princess, the emperor looks a little strange, but is he here because of the Duke of Wei?"

The eldest princess calmly took a sip of tea and then slowly stood up.

"What are you afraid of? The emperor is coming, why should I be afraid?" She never needs to do things herself, there will always be people who will arrange things for her.

Even if those people were beaten to death, it would not provide strong evidence.

As long as she doesn't admit it, no one can force her to admit it.

So what if the emperor comes? She knows her brother best. Although his behavior has changed over the years, he is still the one who needs to rely on others.

If she had been a man, the one sitting in that seat today would have been her.

"Why is the emperor here?" The eldest princess greeted him with a smile.

The emperor's face looked terribly gloomy.

"Royal sister, do you know that the Duke of Wei has returned to the capital? I'm afraid he won't have much time left. Can you really not find an antidote?"

The eldest princess stared in surprise.

"The Emperor has come to me again, and he is sure that I must have the antidote. I don't even know what poison Duke Weiguo was poisoned with, so how can I get the antidote?"

The eldest princess looked displeased.

"Could it be that the Emperor really believes that this poison was given by someone I sent?"

"Royal sister, you have an old grudge against Wei Xuan. You have always disliked him and thought that I trusted him too much and would eventually shake the foundation of the court. But you have to know that in the war between Dayue and Daliang, it was Wei Xuan who won."

"If it weren't for Wei Xuan, there would still be wars at the border and unrest everywhere. How could I protect this country?"

The eldest princess didn't care.

"Your Majesty, Wei Xuan is a military commander. It is his duty to fight in battle. Even if Dayue doesn't have Wei Xuan, there are still other military commanders. Your Majesty trusts and uses him so much. How can this be fair to other military commanders?"

The eldest princess said sternly.

Just like teaching a lesson to the cowardly little prince who listened to her in everything before he came to the throne.

"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by Wei Xuan. Dayue has many talented people. He just borrowed the light of the old Duke of Wei. Otherwise, how could he have achieved what he has now with his own efforts?"

The emperor felt even more upset when the old Duke Weiguo was mentioned.

The old Duke Wei and Wei Qing also died on the battlefield.

"Royal sister, Wei Xuan's father and brother both died on the battlefield. They were both good fighters. There is no mediocre person in the Duke of Wei's Mansion. I hope you can come up with the antidote."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that? Are you forcing me? I don't have the antidote. Even if I did, I would never use it to save Wei Xuan, as he has been against me in every way."

How could she dig a hole for herself to fall into?

As long as Wei Xuan is eliminated, who would dare to go against her?

Who dares to say anything in front of the emperor?

She helped the emperor ascend to the throne, so she must have a share of the honor.

"Royal sister, please don't cause me to lose a good minister and the people of the world to lose a good general who can protect the country." The emperor was rarely seen angry.

He once agreed to whatever his elder sister asked of him.

At the beginning, the imperial sister drugged Wei Xuan and asked him to issue an edict to grant the marriage, and he did grant the marriage.

They thought it was just a matter of letting a woman marry Wei Xuan. With the abilities of Madam Wei and Wei Xuan, they would be able to suppress it.

But this time, Wei Xuan's life was at stake.

"Your Majesty, you can't just recognize Wei Xuan as a good general. There are so many talented people in the court, both civil and military, who can be used. You can't just turn a blind eye to them. I can recommend a few to Your Majesty, and you can use them."

"Royal sister, do you know that the Duke of England has confessed?"

"Can the words of that ungrateful and heartless man be trusted? He dared to keep a mistress outside without my knowledge and even gave birth to two bastards. Your Majesty, how can you still trust such a person? He betrayed me and betrayed the royal family."

The emperor was completely speechless.

In terms of words, he was no match for the royal sister.

The emperor gained nothing and returned to the palace angrily.

The eldest princess was also very angry about his words.

"He is biased. His heart is completely on Wei Xuan's side. Is there any blood relationship between Wei Xuan and him? He doesn't even think about the fact that I am his biological sister, a biological sister who comes from the same mother and wears the same robes."

The eldest princess angrily threw all the porcelain on the floor.

No one dared to say a word.

As soon as Fu Ran returned to Beijing, everyone from Yuchi's family came.

Yuchi Sui and Shen Fengan hurried to see their daughter. Now that Wei Xuan had become like this, they really didn't know what to say.

Ming Xiu wrote to inform them of everything that happened along the way, and they all knew about it.

Now we only know that Wei Xuan will not live long.

Their poor daughter was going to be a widow.

It doesn’t matter. They can take their daughter back to Xuzhou and leave this sad place.

After visiting Wei Xuan, Shen Fengan kept holding Fu Ran's hand.

"Huanhuan, no matter how wrong you are, it's all mother's fault. If you are angry or annoyed, you can get mad or beat or scold me, and I can bear it. But please don't leave again."

During the time when his daughter was away from Beijing, Shen Fengan felt like every day was a year.

She wanted to go look for her in person, especially after her son wrote back saying that he had found his daughter. She couldn't wait to go to Jiangnan, to the small town called Nanxiang.

She would be willing to do that even if it meant just living there with Huanhuan.

But her body was too weak to travel long distances.

Yuchi Sui refused to let her go no matter what, fearing that she would collapse before finding her daughter.

"Yes, Huanhuan, the fault is ours. You must not make yourself sad. It's such a long way from the capital to Jiangnan. It must be difficult to travel all the way."

Yuchi Sui sighed.

It was their negligence at first.

"I was willful for a moment, it has nothing to do with you." Fu Ran shook his head, "I will pay attention next time."

Next time?

Shen Fengan's face turned pale at that moment.

She held Fu Ran's hand tightly and tighter.

Fu Ran felt uncomfortable and frowned slightly.

"No, Huanhuan, if there really is a next time, tell me, can I go with you?"

what?

Taking her along, what a joke.

Is it still possible to leave?

Fu Ran saw how nervous she was and knew that she was not pretending and that she really cared about him.

Human hearts are complicated by nature, and I was disappointed at their lack of trust.

Now I feel that in the face of Wei Xuan's life and death, all of this seems insignificant.

"Dad, Mom, there won't be a next time. If I really want to leave, I won't leave secretly. I will inform you in advance." Fu Ran promised.

Only then did Shen Fengan breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good." She still held her daughter tightly.

Fu Ran looked at her.

"Mom, can you let me go first?"

"Let you go? Where are you going?" Shen Fengan immediately became nervous, "Mom will go with you."
