The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

In the end, Huo Yunting was unable to disobey the emperor's order and prepared to head to the border with the Huo family army. Before leaving, he took Wenrou's hand and couldn't help but ask, "Rourou, can we cancel the divorce agreement we agreed on earlier?"

Huo Yunting looked at Wen Rou eagerly, holding his breath waiting for her answer. He had always been worried that Wen Rou would divorce him and marry Rong Ruo. Now that he didn't know when he would be back, he was even more worried.

She looked at Huo Yunting gently. In fact, she had proposed divorce before as a delaying tactic. She was alone and helpless in the palace and relied entirely on the prince for care.

Marrying Huo Yunting gave her a sense of security, but their arranged marriage had caused a lot of unpleasantness. Fortunately, Huo Yunting was kind and innocent, and he didn't understand the world of love, so he gradually fell in love with her.

Wenrou lowered her eyes. She hadn't made any promises. The situation at court was still unclear. If the Crown Prince were defeated, she wouldn't have a good ending. It would definitely drag down the Huo family.

Huo Yunting felt disappointed when he saw Wenrou didn't say anything. He was sad for a while, then said, "It doesn't matter. I will make you like me."

After saying that, without waiting for Wenrou's answer, he kissed her forehead and strode towards the army waiting for him.

A few days after Huo Yunting left, Wenrou returned to the palace. Although she had married into the Huo family, she still had her own residence in the palace.

Regardless of the Huo family's decision, Wenrou had been under the care of the Crown Prince since she was a child. If she stayed at the Huo family, it would be difficult for her to understand the changes within the palace. So, after explaining the situation to the First Lady, Wenrou returned to the palace to see if she could help.

But after returning to the palace, she found that things seemed more serious than Wenrou had imagined. Everyone in the palace was in danger.

The Crown Prince was also busy with state affairs and had no time to see Wenrou. When he heard that Wenrou had returned to the palace, he arranged for his personal eunuch to tell her not to leave the palace.

Wenrou understood the critical situation and could not cause trouble for the Crown Prince. So she stayed in the palace all day, occasionally asking the palace maids for news from the outside world. However, as time went by, Wenrou's worries grew heavier.

One day, Wenrou heard that the emperor was ill and his condition was getting worse. She was extremely worried and decided to go visit the emperor, regardless of the prince's instructions. At the door of the palace, Wenrou was stopped by the guards. She frowned and said sternly, "How dare you! I am Princess Roujia, and I want to see His Majesty and the prince!"

The guards looked embarrassed, not knowing what to do. At this moment, the prince rushed over after hearing the news. He looked exhausted. Seeing Wenrou, he couldn't help but said, "Rourou, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay in the palace?"

Wenrou saw the Crown Prince and immediately showed heartache. She explained, "Brother Crown Prince, I'm just worried about the safety of our father and you."

The prince sighed helplessly and allowed Wenrou to enter the bedroom. Wenrou smelled a strong herbal odor as she entered the inner hall and saw the once majestic emperor lying weakly on the bed.

Although Wenrou knew that her father was ill, she had never thought it had reached this point. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "What happened to my father?"

Seeing that the emperor had not regained consciousness, the prince pursed his lips and explained, "Father has been poisoned."

Wenrou couldn't help but be a little shocked and asked in surprise: "Who did it?"

The prince glanced at Wenrou but didn't answer. He didn't want these dirty things to bother Wenrou, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Rourou, go see your father. If you have nothing else to do, you can stay here to take care of him."

Wenrou pursed her lips and looked at the prince worriedly, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, she came to the bedside.

In the following days, Wenrou would come to the emperor's bedroom every day to tend to him. During this time, other princes and princesses also came, but they would leave in a hurry after a look.

However, the Fifth Prince, who had always been favored by the Emperor, had yet to show up. Wenrou understood that this was probably a struggle between the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince.

The two had been fighting constantly before, and now the emperor's serious illness only brought the final battle forward.

The emperor's health deteriorated, and in the end he could no longer eat and became emaciated.

One evening, Wenrou was guarding the emperor's bedside when she saw him suddenly open his eyes.

"Go and call the prince." He seemed to be in good spirits and gave the order while looking at Wenrou.

The crown prince arrived soon, and with him came the third prince, who had always been under the crown prince's care.

The emperor looked at the prince in front of the bed, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He took the prince's hand and said with his last strength: "I want to pass the throne to..." Before he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the door, led by the fifth prince.

The fifth prince looked at the crown prince triumphantly and interrupted the emperor with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry, the throne is mine." After that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately surrounded the crown prince and the third prince.

Wenrou's eyes widened. She had never imagined that the Fifth Prince would lead his troops to attack the emperor at this time. The Emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at the Fifth Prince but could not utter a word.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his dragon robe red. His hands fell limply, and his eyes closed forever.

The Crown Prince couldn't bear it anymore and closed his eyes. He used his hands to close his father's open eyes, then stood up, looked at the Fifth Prince, and said in a deep voice: "Fifth brother, you finally lost your patience."

When the emperor was poisoned, the crown prince immediately suspected the fifth prince and wanted to secretly confine him. However, he did not expect that the fifth prince had already abandoned his wife and children and went into hiding.

"Hahaha, now that my father has passed away, most of the ministers in the court are my people. If you are sensible, you should surrender early to avoid the ruthless swords." The fifth prince looked at the prince with a proud look on his face and said arrogantly.

The Crown Prince's expression did not change. Seeing that the Fifth Prince seemed enraged, he angrily said, "General Li and his Imperial Guards have surrounded us. It's not too late for you to beg me now."

The Crown Prince looked at the Fifth Prince with sharp eyes. "Do you think you can trap me like this?" He smiled slightly and clapped his hands. In an instant, a group of men in black appeared on the roof, holding bows and arrows, aiming at the soldiers inside.

The Fifth Prince frowned and said, "You actually secretly cultivated your own power..."

But then he laughed again, as if mocking the prince's arrogance: "Now that all 30,000 imperial guards of the capital are in my hands, I'm afraid you and your men won't be able to hold out for much longer."

But before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of fighting outside the hall. The Fifth Prince's face changed again, and not long after, he saw the door of the hall being kicked open.

"Let's see who dares to stop me today." Suddenly, a young man's voice came. The Fifth Prince looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huo Yunting in armor.

The young general held a long sword in his hand, his face expressionless, blood dripping down his sword. Behind him, the armored Huo family soldiers were engaged in a fierce battle with the imperial guards.
