The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

Wei Chuanbai certainly knew what Emperor Changlong meant.

However, he did not want the eldest princess to die.

He accompanied the eldest princess in her rebellion.

If successful, everyone will be happy.

If he fails, he is willing to die in place of the princess.

He knew the outcome perfectly well, yet he still clung to the last glimmer of hope.

"Your Majesty, it was I who proposed the treason. The Princess was coerced by me; she is innocent. I beg Your Majesty to forgive her this time, considering the sacrifices she has made for the Great Zhou. Even if she no longer becomes the Princess, just being an ordinary citizen and living is enough."

Wei Chuanbo was truly head over heels in love with the Eldest Princess.

He banged his head on the ground repeatedly, and within moments his head was bleeding profusely.

"Shen Xin, look at what you've done! You used to have a happy family, a lovely daughter, a loving husband, and you were a noble princess. You could have made all the decisions at home, enjoying wealth and luxury without any worries or concerns."

"Because of your selfishness and greed, you have not only ruined yourself, but also your daughter and your husband."

“Wei, the Imperial Son-in-Law, followed you in your rebellion and protected you until her death. She gave you everything. No matter how much suffering you have endured before, what Wei, the Imperial Son-in-Law, has given you is enough.”

Emperor Changlong's expression was cold. "Wei, the Imperial Son-in-Law, I will spare your life because of your deep affection for Shen Xin. Guards, take Wei away and execute him immediately!"

There was no fear in Wei Chuanbai's eyes, as if he had long since disregarded life and death. Only when he looked at the Princess did his eyes fill with tenderness and guilt.

"Xin'er, please allow me to call you that one last time. I'm sorry, I broke my promise and failed to protect you, causing you to get hurt."

When he proposed to the eldest princess, he promised her that he, Wei Chuanbo, would protect her with his life and never let her suffer any harm until his death.

The eldest princess shook her head frantically, perhaps realizing that this was a true farewell. Her eyes reddened, "Don't say that. You've been so good to me, so very good to me. You've protected me so well."

"Guards, take him away!" Emperor Changlong frowned.

The guards immediately rushed over and dragged the princess away. The princess struggled and shouted, "Let me go! You dogs, how dare you touch me! I'll chop off your heads!"

As she struggled, the guard tightened his grip even more.

Wei Chuanbai felt heartbroken seeing this, and he broke free from the guard's hand and rushed to the princess.

"Princess!"

Wei Chuanbai shouted and picked up the sword from the ground, ready to kill the guards dragging the princess.

At the critical moment, the guard behind him thrust his sword at him.

The sword pierced through his back and out his chest, even tearing his heart apart.

"Consort!"

The eldest princess looked at Wei Chuanbo, who was less than three feet away from her, and screamed her heart out.

Wei Chuanbai stared at the eldest princess, and with the last of his strength, said to her, "...I...love..."

Before he could even utter the word "you," he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Song Siyao immediately stepped forward to check, and then said to Emperor Changlong, "Your Majesty, Consort Wei is dead."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess shouted and ran towards Wei Chuanbai.

But she had only taken one step when she was immediately grabbed by the guards.

"Why were you so foolish? Why were you so good to me? You promised to protect me for life, why did you break your promise? Wei Chuanbai!"

At this moment, the princess felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and she was in unbearable pain.

So this is what it feels like to lose the one you love.

"Let me go! I need to find the prince consort. He's still waiting for me."

The eldest princess used all her strength to run towards Wei Chuanbai.

But she couldn't take a single step out.

The person she loved was so close, yet felt as if they were a world away; she couldn't even touch their hand.

Thinking back to the torment she had inflicted on Wei Chuanbai, if she hadn't dragged him into a rebellion, Wei Chuanbai would probably still be alive and well.

Self-blame, guilt, regret, pain, despair...

And love that came too late.

All emotions surged towards the princess like a raging flood; her eyes turned bloodshot, and she was nearly driven mad.

Even if it means death, she wants to die with Wei Chuanbai.

Suddenly, she bit the guard's hand hard, and the guard felt a sharp pain and let go of his hand.

She lunged at the sword in the guard's hand.

The guards were unable to dodge in time, and the sword pierced her body.

She watched the blood flow down her body and along the longsword, a happy smile spreading across her face. She murmured, "Now, you can't stop us from being together anymore."

The guards looked at Emperor Changlong, but he did not speak. They dared not make a decision on their own and continued to hold the eldest princess.

The princess was overwhelmed with grief, crying out, "My husband! Chuanbai! I can't go on, so come to me! I'm scared if you don't hold my hand..."

All her pleas went unanswered.

She had lost all will to live and wanted to reunite with Wei Chuanbai as soon as possible.

So she pushed the sword to her chest backward, and instantly, a mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth.

Then, his gaze became unfocused, and his body went limp.

As soon as the guard released her, she collapsed to the ground, staring intently at Wei Chuanbai, her hands outstretched in his direction.

She wanted to climb, but she couldn't.

She tried to grab Wei Chuanbai's hand, but couldn't reach it.

They gaze at each other, so close yet so far away.

The princess's mind was filled with memories of her past with Wei Chuanbai.

Many years ago, the eldest princess went out of the palace for a stroll and stumbled upon Wei Chuanbai being brutally beaten.

Seeing that Wei Chuanbai was handsome, she impulsively ordered her bodyguard to help him.

After that, she put the matter out of her mind.

However, Wei Chuanbai engraved her in his heart.

However, due to the vast difference in their social status, Wei Chuanbai kept his love hidden in his heart and never dared to express it.

Later, the eldest princess took a liking to the Marquis of Zhenbei, but unfortunately, her affections were unrequited.

She framed the Marquis of Zhenbei, causing him to be unable to go to the battlefield, which led to the defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she went to the State of Wu for a marriage alliance.

Later, the Marquis of Zhenbei defeated the State of Wu and rescued her.

At that time, she could no longer be called a human being; she was like a walking corpse.

At this time, Wei Chuanbai took the initiative to propose marriage.

Years later, she still remembers the look in Wei Chuanbo's eyes when he looked at her that day.

Wei Chuanbai's eyes were shining.

Later, she asked Wei Chuanbo why he looked at her with that kind of gaze back then, and why his eyes were shining.

Wei Chuanbo told her that it was because she was radiating light, and the light he saw was just her shadow.

Finally, she married Wei Chuanbai.

However, she vented all her disgust and hatred for men, as well as the grievances she had suffered in the Wu Kingdom over the years, on Wei Chuanbai.

She whipped Wei Chuanbai day and night...
