Chapter 607： The emperor died

Wei Jin also said a few words to Wei Ruo and then hurried out.

Wei Ruo watched Wei Jinyi and Zhang Yi leave in a hurry.

After the people left, Wei Ruo asked Lin Fang, who had just arrived with Zhang Yi: "What happened? Are you so anxious?"

Lin Fang looked ugly and said: "The emperor... passed away..."

"What did you say?"

The emperor passed away?

how come?

Obviously the information they got showed that the emperor was still in good health when Wei Ruo sent people to the capital to deliver medicine during the Chinese New Year!

Why did he leave just a few months later?

“The specific reason why the emperor passed away is not yet known to my subordinates. Just now, Guard Zhang had no chance to explain the situation to his subordinates,” Lin Fang said.

Wei Ruo was worried about the accident and did not go out to do spring planting.

Wei Ruo waited in the room for a long time, and finally waited until Wei Jin also came back.

"How about it?"

“King Jing has regicide.”

"What? Kill...jun..." Wei Ruo couldn't believe it, the word "regicide" was extremely heavy.

“The emperor intended to establish King Qin as the crown prince, but King Jing chose to strike first to gain strength.”

Hearing this, Wei Ruo could not calm down for a long time.

Chu Lan committed regicide!

He actually committed regicide!

The emperor in the original work did not live so long, and when he died, the political situation was basically in favor of Chu Lan, so Chu Lan successfully ascended the throne.

But now the situation has changed. The emperor is still alive and has alienated Chu Lan for some reasons.

I didn’t expect that the consequences of this change would be that King Jing would do such a heinous thing!

Regicide! Kill your father!

How dare he!

Because it takes some time for the news to spread from the capital to Jiliao, and the dust has probably settled in the capital by now.

Even if they set off and rush back now, it is already too late.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi and didn't know how to comfort him.

Although Wei Jinyi and the emperor were not reunited for a long time, Wei Ruo could tell from various things that the emperor was kind to Wei Jinyi.

Several times Wei Ruo felt that the emperor was more like an ordinary father than a king when in front of Wei Jinyi.

Including everything the emperor has done in the past two years, his suppression of King Jing and King Yu is also a kind of protection for Wei Jinyi to a certain extent.

That supreme man with a lofty and complicated mind really made many exceptions for Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jin did not open his mouth to express his sadness to Wei Ruo, but he could not hide the sadness in his eyes.

After thinking for a long time, Wei Ruo stepped forward and hugged Wei Jinyi silently.

At this moment, words are still too weak. All she can do is stay with him and let him feel her presence.

Wei Jin also didn't move for a long time. It wasn't until Wei Ruo's hand patted his back gently that he stretched out his hand to wrap around Wei Ruo.

Two days later, people from the capital arrived to announce the funeral.

The late emperor passed away, and Prince Rui and his wife were asked to return to the capital to pay tribute to the late emperor.

The regicide of King Jing was reported by people placed in the palace by Wei Jinyi. Nowadays, most people in the capital do not know the truth about the emperor's death and only think that he died normally.

If Wei Jin is just an incompetent and sick prince who is willing to stay in the fiefdom, as the outside world thinks, then he should obediently accept the imperial edict and return to the capital with his wife and children to pay tribute to the emperor. Wei Jin also didn't see the person who came to convey the order, so he sent the person to rest in a villa.

Two days later, Fan Chengxu came, bringing Xie Ying with him.

From the capital to Jiliao, it was a long distance and full of dangers. The two of them came here without any servants, just two people and two horses.

Xie Ying has been looking forward to such a free and easy life since she was a child. Fan Chengxu does not like to be controlled.

These two people are a little bit crazy, and they hit it off in some weird places.

Wei Ruo met the two of them directly.

In the hall, Wei Ruo hugged Xie Ying, then looked at Xie Ying, and after making sure she was not injured, he said: "You are really messing around. You didn't bring a guard with you on such a long journey. You encountered thieves on the way." What should I do if there is a bandit?"

Xie Ying waved her hand and said calmly: "Now that I have to worry about thieves and robbers when I go to other places for this great cause, I don't have to worry about it when I come to Jiliao. And even if there are robbers, don't I still have them?"

Xie Ying pointed at Fan Chengxu. He waved his folding fan and smiled. His smile was still as cunning as when Wei Ruo first met him, like a thousand-year-old fox.

Although Fan Chengxu is a businessman, he grew up in the Fan family and is a good scholar and martial artist. His martial arts skills are certainly not weak. The ordinary thieves and bandits are really not enough in front of him.

Xie Ying then said: "Don't worry about this for now. I am here to remind you that you must not go back to the capital!"

“Why?”

"There is something fishy about the emperor's death!" Xie Ying said, "People outside don't know about this, but Chengxu knows a little bit. It is most likely that King Jing has done something about it! He can't wait any longer, and he doesn't dare to wait any longer. He was afraid that if he waited any longer, his power would be gradually weakened by the late emperor, and in the end he would have no power to fight back. I knew that he had sent an edict to summon you back to the capital, but I was afraid that the letter would be too late, so I came here in person. "

Wei Ruo was greatly moved by Xie Ying's explanation.

Wei Ruodao: "But if he finds out about your coming here, it will bring you great danger."

Xie Ying said: "How can I care so much? If I let you go back to Beijing, your life will be dead."

Fan Chengxu was waving his fan on the side, with a smile on his lips, and said casually: "Now you have a very good prestige in Jiliao, and the defenders here are extremely loyal to you. In addition, you are the first The emperor's favorite, even if he succeeds to the throne, he won't be able to openly attack you two. As long as you are here, you will be relatively safe. Once you return to Beijing, it will be hard to say."

“Thank you.” Wei Ruo thanked her sincerely.

"No need to thank me, this girl is coming, I'm just sending her out." Fan Chengxu said.

"Ruoruo, don't be polite to me anymore. In short, just remember my words and don't go back to Beijing." Xie Ying warned repeatedly.

“I still need to think about this matter…” Wei Ruodao.

"There's nothing to think about. It's too dangerous to go back." Xie Ying said anxiously, but Fan Chengxu stopped her mid-sentence.

Fan Chengxu patted Xie Ying with his fan: "You don't have to worry, Princess Rui may not have no countermeasures."

Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with bright eyes, as if he had seen through everything.

Wei Ruo felt a little guilty because of his gaze.

Her business dealings with Fan Chengxu have not stopped in the past few years, but she has not yet confessed to Fan Chengxu about her identity.

Xie Ying also looked at Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, do you have any countermeasures?"

Wei Ruo didn't know how to answer: "I still need to discuss this matter with my prince."

Fan Chengxu said with great interest: "I heard that the princess cured the prince's disease, right?" (End of chapter)
