Chapter 426 You Can Only Marry Me
No, you don't understand.
You couldn't have succeeded without me.
Therefore, you can only marry me!
Only I can help you seize the throne and rule this entire world!
Wu Weiwei was nothing more than a lonely soul occupying someone else's body.
How could someone like that be worthy of you?
Liu Shuning disagreed.
Hearing her words, Lu Hanting curled the corners of his lips.
Then he said sarcastically, "Whether it succeeds or not is not up to you!"
Besides, the one I love is this lonely soul that has taken over Wu Weiwei's body.
Furthermore, if Ruowei'er is a wandering soul, then what are you?
Listening to Liu Shuning's slander against Wu Weiwei, Lu Hanting stared at her with a chilling gaze.
"I?"
In the darkness, Lu Hanting's sharp gaze almost made Liu Shuning breathless.
But the thought of him mocking her as a worthless person made Liu Shuning feel a sharp pain in her heart.
"Your Highness, I am different. I am your chosen one, and no one like Wu Weiwei can replace me!"
If you don't marry me, the gears of fate will definitely change...
At that time, let alone unifying the world, he might not even be able to obtain the territory of the Great Wei.
Liu Shuning roared at him with a look of madness in her eyes.
Looking at the crazy woman lost in her own imagination, Lu Hanting laughed in exasperation.
"Liu Shuning, out of consideration for our past relationship, I will forgive your nonsense today."
If there's a next time, I won't let you get away with it!
After saying that, Lu Hanting left with a gloomy expression.
"Lu Hanting, you can't leave, you can't..."
why?
Why doesn't he believe in himself?
Liu Shuning knelt on the ground, muttering to herself.
Seeing her master's breakdown, Lianqiao, who was guarding nearby, rushed over.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Watching that tall, resolute figure resolutely depart, Liu Shuning's eyes flashed with madness.
"Lu Hanting, you will regret this, you will definitely regret it!"
Qinzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated the matter at Hongfulou Restaurant. I have recorded the entire incident in detail, and I request that you review it!"
Gao Yansong presented the results of his investigation over the past few days to the emperor.
After reading the petition, Emperor Chenghua frowned deeply.
"You unfilial son! You really are an unfilial son!"
He looked at Eunuch Wei.
"Guards, go to Prince Min's residence and take that wicked son to the imperial prison. As for the rest, I will decide after I explain to the Crown Prince of Xiliang!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Gao Yansong's heart skipped a beat.
It seems the Emperor is truly enraged.
Indeed, Prince Min was incredibly audacious. Knowing full well that Wu Weiwei was the Emperor's preferred candidate for a marriage alliance, he still dared to have designs on her.
This time, their attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and they were ambushed by the Crown Prince. It's no wonder they were betrayed.
After Eunuch Wei went to announce the decree, Emperor Mingcheng rubbed his throbbing head.
I previously thought the Crown Prince was hopeless, but it turns out he even plotted against his own brother.
He underestimated us.
Cheng Min, since you're not capable enough, then you'll have to put in the effort!
The emperor's order had just been sent out when a letter arrived from the Western Liang Kingdom the following day.
Early in the morning, Little Stone rushed over to report the news.
"Master, I just heard at the teahouse that Prince Min's buttocks were beaten until they were ripped open, it must have been quite a painful experience!"
Wu Weiwei, who was having a meal, put down her chopsticks.
"What? Has the emperor changed his mind?"
Seeing Wu Weiwei's puzzled look, Xiao Shitou recounted everything he had found out.
It turned out that Princess Yazhen had sent news of her humiliation back to the Western Liang Kingdom via carrier pigeon.
After learning of her daughter's ordeal in the Great Wei, Empress Chaoyang immediately ordered her maternal clan to dispatch an army of 300,000 to the Great Wei.
They are currently fully prepared and stationed on the border of the Great Wei to put pressure on the emperor.
The purpose was simply to make Emperor Mingcheng severely punish Prince Min.
Otherwise, when the Western Liang army is at the gates of the Great Wei, we might not even have to wait until next year to start the war.
For this reason, the emperor ordered that Prince Min be flogged one hundred times and warned Gao Yansong:
Even if Prince Min dies in prison, no one is allowed to take him out…
Wu Weiwei clicked her tongue in amazement at Xiao Shitou's words.
The emperor's move was too ruthless; that was his own son.
Of course, she applauded what King Min had done today.
After all, Prince Min truly deserved to die.
"By the way, I heard that the Emperor issued an order in order to improve relations with the Western Liang Kingdom."
If Prince Min can survive this ordeal, once he has recovered from his injuries, he will be sent to Cangwu County, never to return to the capital!
"Cangwu? Isn't that a barren land near the Nanzhao Kingdom?"
That's a miasma-ridden place, infested with snakes and insects year-round; an ordinary person probably wouldn't survive more than a few years there!
Wanqiu then relayed the news she had heard from elsewhere.
"Haha, that's exactly what should happen! This is what he gets for plotting against his master!"
Lingfu clapped her hands and said happily!
Everyone turned their attention to Wu Weiwei.
A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. "Hmm, it seems Prince Min won't have a good future!"
In Prince Min's mansion, half of Qin Baihe's hair at the temples had turned white.
Just as she was considering whether to keep or abandon the child in her womb, she heard someone outside announce that something had happened.
"Consort, Steward Lin just reported that Zhong Shuang said our Prince has developed a high fever in prison and he wants you to find a way to bring him back to the manor for treatment!"
"You all know how to ask me for help, but this is an order personally given by the Emperor."
What can I, a woman trapped in the backyard, do?
The emperor had issued such an order; what could Qin Baihe do?
"Consort, I beg you, if you don't save the Prince, then no one else will!"
Consort Chen was imprisoned in the Cold Palace, and even if she wanted to save her, she couldn't see the Emperor.
Seeing Butler Lin kneeling before her, tears streaming down his face, Qin Baihe's drooping eyebrows and eyes were cold.
She wanted to save them, but what would happen after they were saved?
He and I were sent to that remote and desolate Cangwu County.
No, she wouldn't be happy about it.
Conversely, if Prince Min died in prison, the emperor might exempt his entourage.
After figuring it out, Qin Baihe looked at Butler Lin with deep eyes.
"Butler Lin, please get up!"
As for the prince, I will definitely bring him back to the palace!
Upon hearing Qin Baihe's words, Steward Lin exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Consort! It is truly a blessing for His Highness to have a consort like you!"
"Hehe, indeed, His Highness will probably be grateful to have such a virtuous wife as me!"
Qin Baihe's words were ambiguous.
However, the excited housekeeper Lin failed to understand her hidden meaning.
Watching the old figure of Butler Lin leave, Qin Baihe's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
Although she promised to bring Prince Min back to the manor, she was not bringing him a person, but a corpse!
In prison.
At this moment, King Min looked extremely weak.
Although the imperial physician cleaned his wounds from the beating, he developed a high fever due to a skin infection.
At that moment, he felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Guards! I, the King, demand to see my father..."
However, no one came even after he called for a long time.
Just as his eyelids were getting heavier, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
