Chapter 446 Taking over everything from Wu Weiwei
Liu Shuning: "..."
If it weren't for the fact that he was the emperor, Liu Shuning would have really wanted to turn around and leave.
She came today not to hear the emperor's humiliation, but to help him solve his problem.
But he actually started commenting on his own appearance.
Although Liu Shuning was resentful, she dared not express her dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty is right, my daughter is indeed of average appearance."
But appearances are only superficial. I believe a person's value primarily depends on their problem-solving abilities. Wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?
"Haha... What you said seems to make some sense."
"Since that's the case, then tell me how you intend to solve this problem for me?"
Liu Shuning looked up.
"Your Majesty, before resolving this issue, please allow me to ask you a question..."
"You want to ask me a question?"
"Yes."
Emperor Mingcheng looked at Liu Shuning and found her way of asking questions quite novel.
"How dare you, a mere woman, speak to His Majesty in such a manner!"
While the emperor hesitated, Eunuch Huai shouted at Liu Shuning.
With a thud, Liu Shuning knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I only wanted to ask you a question to help you out of your predicament..."
Seeing Liu Shuning's trembling and fearful appearance after kneeling down, Emperor Mingcheng said to Eunuch Huai, "Alright, Luo Ronghai, Miss Liu is just stating the facts. Don't frighten her!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I'm making a fuss over nothing!"
After glaring at Liu Shuning, Eunuch Huai stepped aside.
"Alright, what question do you want to ask Lian?"
Because of Huai Ronghai's interruption, Emperor Mingcheng also lost interest in Liu Shuning.
"Your Majesty, what I am about to say is not appropriate for anyone else to be present..."
Liu Shuning looked toward Eunuch Huai, who was standing behind the emperor.
Well, is this targeting me?
Eunuch Huai was furious, never expecting that Miss Liu would hold such a grudge.
Emperor Cheng glanced at Eunuch Huai, who then said, "Your Majesty, this servant will wait outside the palace!"
"Alright, everyone has been cleared out by me. Now, just say what you have to say!"
If it weren't for the fact that Liu Shuning was curious about what she mentioned in the letter, Emperor Mingcheng probably wouldn't have tolerated her for so long.
He showed a lot of patience today.
Seeing the impatience in the emperor's eyes, Liu Shuning knew that his patience was about to run out, so she quickly asked, "Your Majesty, do you know Luo Ke'er?"
"you……"
Many years later, Emperor Cheng of Ming still felt a stirring in his heart when he heard this name again.
Judging from the emperor's expression, Liu Shuning knew that she had made the right bet.
"Your Majesty, you probably don't know that Luo Ke'er has given birth to a son for you, do you?"
"What did you say?"
This time, Emperor Cheng of Ming was not just excited, he was shocked.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the three things I predicted in the letter?"
"of course I remember."
If these three things had not all been verified, Emperor Mingcheng would not have summoned Liu Shuning to the palace today.
"Speak! Who exactly are you, and what do you know?"
Seeing that the emperor seemed to finally believe her words, Liu Shuning pursed her lips.
"Your Majesty, before answering your question, I humbly request a favor from you!"
Upon hearing Liu Shuning's request, Emperor Mingcheng frowned almost imperceptibly.
But thinking about why she told me all this, wasn't it because she wanted something from me?
"Speak! What do you want me to grant you?"
Upon hearing the emperor's agreement, a sense of smugness flashed through Liu Shuning's mind.
"Your Majesty, I wish to receive the favor you previously bestowed upon Wu Weiwei..."
"grace?"
Emperor Cheng's brows furrowed.
"You want to inherit everything Wu Weiwei has in the Great Wei?"
Meeting Emperor Mingcheng's sharp gaze, Liu Shuning nodded, her face flushed.
"Your Majesty, if you would grant my request, I will not only help you find your biological child, but also help you eliminate your enemies!"
Emperor Cheng waved to her.
"None of that matters! Tell me, who is the child Ke'er bore for me? Where is he now?"
Rocco was the regret of his life.
Upon learning that he and Ke'er might still have blood ties, Emperor Mingcheng could not hide his excitement.
Seeing Emperor Mingcheng's agitated state, Liu Shuning slightly raised the corner of her mouth.
"Your Majesty, your son with Lady Luo, he is currently..."
Just as Liu Shuning was about to say who it was, she heard footsteps outside.
"Your Majesty, an urgent report has arrived from Tongzhou!"
Emperor Mingcheng glanced at Eunuch Huai, who had rushed in.
"We can talk about it later!"
In a moment of panic, Eunuch Huai knelt down.
"Your Majesty, it's too late! Lu Hanting's men have already captured Qingzhou City."
The governor of Tongzhou sent an urgent report requesting immediate rescue from Beijing; if it's too late, Tongzhou will be in grave danger!
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingcheng's body trembled violently.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of your health!"
Eunuch Huai rushed over to help him up, fearing that the emperor might fall like he had last time.
Seeing Emperor Mingcheng's frail body, Liu Shuning suddenly had second thoughts.
Fortunately, she didn't put all her eggs in one basket, which was quite sensible.
Thinking about the situation on the other side of the sea, Liu Shuning suddenly felt more confident.
The next day.
The news that Liu Shuning had been granted the title of Imperial Merchant spread throughout the capital in no time.
Even more unexpectedly, the emperor not only bestowed the entire Jade Deer City, which Wu Weiwei had left behind, upon her, but also granted her the noble status of Princess Linlang.
The eldest princess was furious upon hearing this news.
"Ling Chu, quickly write a letter to Hua Yi and ask her what the current situation is in the capital."
Why did Wei'er's things end up in He Yuyan's hands?
And he even gave that wretch the title of princess. What is he trying to do?
Is the emperor getting old and blind? How could he do such a thing?
Knowing full well that Wei'er was his daughter, and knowing that she cared most about Jade Deer City, he still gave away all of Wei'er's property without even informing her!
If they weren't so far away, the eldest princess would probably have rushed to the palace to confront that scoundrel of an emperor.
"Your Highness, please don't be anxious. Have some tea and calm down..."
"What do you mean by 'slow down'? Who exactly is Li Mingchen trying to disgust by doing this?"
The eldest princess was furious.
"You said Wei'er will arrive tomorrow. If she hears this news, what do you think she will think?"
"As the eldest princess of the Great Wei, how could she be bullied to this extent? Do you think she can still acknowledge me as her mother?"
Upon hearing what the princess said, the palace maids serving her immediately fell silent.
Since Granny Shi wasn't there, they didn't dare to go forward and persuade the princess.
After all, if persuasion can calm the princess down, that would be good; but if it is not done well, it may even cause trouble.
"Princess, the people we sent to fetch the princess have returned!"
Just as the palace maids were worrying about how to persuade the princess, they heard Granny Shi's anxious voice coming in.
"What did you say? Wei'er, Wei'er is back?"
