TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 225 Yixiu 94

Wen Yi's dominance made it difficult for the emperor to accept, but he had to compromise.

The army he led was completely unable to withstand the powerful firepower, mainly because the current army did not fully obey his command.

Neither soft nor hard tactics worked, so the emperor had no choice but to compromise temporarily and was forced to write the imperial edict to confer the title.

All the personal guards were also replaced.

Such a shocking event did not cause any ripples, and the handover went extremely smoothly.

The emperor saw it and felt anxious. He was glad that he did not choose to fight to the death. They did have hidden strength, but the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Su Peisheng, with a wry smile on his face, urged the emperor to rest. The day before, he was the emperor's chief steward, but today, even when he left the tent, someone followed him. It was really...

Who would have thought that the gentle princess would have such means?

The emperor stared at the candlelight in the distance in a daze. He couldn't understand why it happened like this.

He studied hard since he was young, and after he ascended the throne, he worked diligently and loved the people. He believed that he was not a foolish emperor.

Why are all his descendants so rebellious and have no filial piety towards him as their king and father? How can such people win the support of the people and govern the world well?

He couldn't just let it go like this. He had endured the scolding of the previous emperor and the cold treatment of court officials in his early years, but he had survived it all.

But it was just an imperial decree. If she could be made the crown princess, she could also be deposed.

"Su Peisheng, have someone outside tell Wen Yi that I'm going to withdraw my camp and return to the capital immediately. If anyone dares to stop me, I'll commit suicide right here, and let the whole world know that she's a jerk who forced her own father to death."

"emperor!"

"Go quickly! Do you dare to disobey me?"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider. Your Highness's personal army is numerous and continues to arrive. The Mongolian tribes have already surrendered and just requested an audience with Your Highness the Crown Princess yesterday. We must make a long-term plan."

The emperor glared murderously at Su Peisheng who was kneeling on the ground.

"What did you say?"

Su Peisheng shrank his neck. "Besides that, several high-ranking officials with military power also met with His Highness. During the meal, they...had a very pleasant conversation."

The emperor sneered, "I was wondering why I took you out yesterday. It turned out to be a witness. You dog slave, why didn't you say anything yesterday?"

After being kicked to the ground, Su Peisheng endured the pain and quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I am worried about your health and dare not say anything."

The emperor fell back onto the bed, holding his chest. Listening to Su Peisheng's tearful voice, he didn't know what to say for a moment. The feeling of weakness in his body reminded him that the other party's consideration was not wrong.

The imperial physician had said long ago that his body could not withstand great stimulation. Wen Yi's incident had already seriously damaged his vitality. If it continued.

I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until I return to Beijing.

"What about Prince Dun? He's always arrogant. Why doesn't he jump out at this time?"

Su Peisheng secretly groaned in his heart. No matter how arrogant a person was, he would not dare to move after seeing such a killing weapon. No one was stupid. If they pushed others into a corner, they would die together and no one would survive.

"Prince Dun's wife's family was also at the banquet last night. I think it was because of the wife. You know, Prince Dun has always loved the wife."

The emperor seemed to have been drained of his energy and spirit. He had worked hard for many years, but those people had been secretly making trouble.

If it is so easy to make people surrender, then what is the grievance he endured in his early years?

Cao Qinmo is now in high spirits. She was so excited that she cried for a long time on the day the imperial edict came out.

I have always felt guilty towards Wen Yi because of my own problems, but I didn't expect that her daughter would be so lucky. It seems that all my hard work over the years has not been in vain.

Over the years, I have watched Wen Yi get up early to practice martial arts and study late at night, and he never dared to rest for a moment.

There were many times when Cao Qinmo wanted to give up and just learn needlework, calligraphy and painting, and live a peaceful and noble princess.

There's no need to work so hard for something that's almost impossible to achieve.

Fortunately she held back.

Cao Qinmo was a smart person. She knew that the Queen and Concubine Hua had made a lot of sacrifices, so she did not dare to act rashly. She was as gentle to the other concubines as before.

Without the emperor's constraints, the concubines who came with them had more fun this time.

Wen Yi sent people to take them riding horses, hunting, and barbecuing in the wild, which was much more comfortable than serving the emperor.

The uneasiness in everyone's heart faded away. After all, they had watched him grow up since he was a child.

They knew very well what kind of person Wen Yi was, and no one thought of meeting the emperor.

Those who could come this time were all leaders of various tribes. Wen Yi didn't spend much effort to make them recognize his identity. After achieving his goal, he prepared to set off back to Beijing.

On the eve of departure, Cao Qinmo ran to Wen Yi with a heavy heart.

"Wen Yi, the capital is the emperor's place. Will there be any problems if we go back? What if the emperor is determined to harm you?"

Cao Qinmo felt nervous when she thought of that familiar place. The civil and military officials in the capital were not so easy to fool.

If anyone among them is stubborn enough to find a way to contact the emperor, then all my daughter's plans will be in vain.

Wen Yi took his eyes off the map and turned back to comfort her.

"Don't worry, mother. I discussed this with the Empress Dowager before we set out. The people in the court won't cause any trouble."

"Mother, as long as I am here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone in the future."

Cao Qinmo tightened her shoulders and hugged Wen Yi tighter. He was so young, but he had already shouldered so much.

Her eyes darkened, "Mother is not worried about this."

"As long as the emperor is alive, there will be people who will not give up. Let's kill him, and then you can inherit the throne legitimately."

Wen Yi looked up in surprise. In her memory, her mother was always very gentle.

Wen Yi felt warm in his heart when he thought that such a kind mother wanted to kill the emperor for him.

Bury your head in the other person's arms and rub it.

"Mother is only thinking about her daughter, and she understands."

"It's just that the Emperor can't die here. I've already consulted the imperial physician, and he's very weak and can no longer bear any exertion. I have a way to let him live out his days in peace in the palace."

"Mother, I want to be a great emperor. I want both fame and status!"

Cao Qinmo paused patting Wen Yi's back and glanced outside the tent guiltily.

It’s better not to let Wen Yi know that the emperor was drugged. The emperor won’t live long anyway.

"Okay, I don't have much ability to help you, I'll do whatever you say."

"Mother, you're talking nonsense. You've raised me to this age and you're the most important person in my heart. As long as you're happy, I'm willing to do anything."

Knowing that Wen Yi was very tired from dealing with things recently, the mother and daughter talked for a while and then Cao Qinmo left.

The imperial edict enthroning Wen Yi had already been sent back to the capital, and as expected, the ministers were in a mess.

However, no one who can sit in this court is a fool. They don’t understand this newly crowned princess, but they understand the emperor.

The situation that Yixiu imagined the civil official would use his life to warn others did not happen.

No news from the enclosure could be transmitted back, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's carriage to return to the capital.
