Wang Xi didn't dare to say anything anymore, he knew Wei Yanzhou heard clearly.
Moreover, he didn't dare to mention Wei Yanzhou's current expression a second time.
After knowing that he had returned to Chengqian Palace, Wei Yanzhou asked sharply: "What's going on?!"
He rarely got so angry, and the last time was probably the night the late emperor passed away.
That night, His Highness Wei Yanzhou smashed everything in the Qinghe Palace like a crazy beast, and no one dared to come close.
Then the palace doors were opened wide. Before Cheng Fengxu led the people into the palace, but before he could take any action, he ordered that the Cheng family should be arrested and imprisoned for treason.
The new emperor, who had not yet ascended the throne, held the imperial edict in his hand, but without reading a word, he issued several edicts in succession.
One is that the Cheng family should be charged with treason and the case should be finalized as soon as possible.
The second is to block the news and send fast horses to the northwest to capture Cheng Ning along the way.
The third is to quickly appoint a candidate for the queen and appoint four concubines.
Every one of them was an urgent order, even before the funeral of the late emperor.
With these few orders from him, the new emperor's thunderous methods swept the imperial city almost overnight, catching people off guard.
Reactionary forces are ambushing everywhere, but the imperial edict he holds is not fake, and neither is the jade seal.
The orders to the Imperial Guards and Patrol Battalions were so precise that no one dared to resist at all.
Besides, the Cheng family has been arrested, who dares to commit the crime?
Whether the late emperor really wanted to pass the throne to His Highness the Second Highness or he was forced to do so, the fact was that Wei Yanzhou already had the imperial decree.
Furthermore, the late emperor passed away, and news of a stroke came to His Highness overnight.
There are very few imperial heirs in the palace. If Wei Yanzhou is not the emperor, where will he find a new emperor?
Everything was absurd and chaotic, but under Wei Yanzhou's cold expression, no one dared to say anything.
The imperial city undergoes turmoil and great changes. The late emperor is buried, the Cheng family is imprisoned, and the new emperor ascends the throne.
All happened in just half a month.
No one dares to forget that night, how cold the new emperor's eyebrows were on the long glazed stage.
Yama is not enough to describe the coldness. He is like a demon in a mythical book, perhaps surrounded by invisible black mist.
——It's like, if he doesn't care about the common people in the world, they will be crushed to death in his hands like ants.
But it's strange that the demon's last act seemed to have affected his sanity, so he didn't become a demon and stood precariously in front of the Dragon Throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Only Wang Xi knew what happened to Wei Yanzhou that night.
The late Emperor Wei Qi suddenly became seriously ill. He stayed in bed for several days and refused to eat. His health was deteriorating. The only person he saw was Wei Yanzhou.
He didn't see any of the concubines attending the illness or the princesses who came to mourn.
The imperial doctor said that his illness came on quickly and was caused by excessive mood swings.
But after so many years in the palace, what could happen that could frighten an emperor to the point of becoming ill?
Until Wei Qi withdrew everything, stared at his cloudy and blood-red eyes, and said to Wei Yanzhou, you are not my son.
You are not my son.
Wei Yanzhou thought of Concubine Wen at that time. Concubine Wen had not been very kind to him since he was a child.
Does the problem lie with Concubine Wen?
Unfortunately not, Wei Qi's chest was panting like a broken bellows used by farmers when drying rice.
He won't live long, Wei Yanzhou thought.
Raising his hands to tuck Wei Qi into bed, Wei Yanzhou whispered, "Father is ill and confused. Let's rest first and we'll talk about it when we get better."
"Okay, it won't get better!" Wei Qi said excitedly: "You are not, my son! You, evil bastard!"
"Then whose son am I?" Wei Yanzhou's expression was as cold as a ferocious beast hunting for prey.
He asked: "Whose son am I?"
"The late emperor, the late emperor collaborated with Cheng Fengxu, the general, and the general's queen...that's why we got you, you bastard!"
Queen?
Isn't the Queen Wei Yanshu's biological mother, his biological aunt?
It seemed as if a dark curtain was torn open, and Wei Yanzhou's voice was deep and hoarse: "What about Wei Yanshu?"
He and Wei Yanshu were both born when Wei Qi was still in the East Palace before he ascended the throne.
The Crown Princess and Concubine Wen at that time were sisters.
As the late emperor who was still the crown prince, he was busy with official duties and had no time to take care of the affairs of the East Palace. Most of the housework was taken care of by the crown prince and Concubine Wen.
When Wei Yanshu and Wei Yanzhou were born, he was still on a mission. When he came back, his two sons were already two months old.
The time of birth was only more than ten days away.
"He is born to Concubine Wen!" After Wei Qi shouted this sentence, he coughed violently.
In just a few words, Wei Yanzhou felt subverted.
If he puts himself out of the situation, he will soon be able to figure out all the troubles in the middle.
No wonder Concubine Wen had always been indifferent to him, but when Wei Yanshu came to the palace, she often washed her hands and made soup.
No wonder she is always worshiping Buddha, chanting and copying sutras. Who is she trying to alleviate the sins of?
No wonder the world is criticizing him, saying that his temperament is not like that of Wei Qi, and that he has no brotherhood with Wei Yanshu.
No wonder the Cheng family supported Wei Yanshu and tried every means to get Cheng Ning to marry Wei Yanshu.
Cheng Fengxu.
"The Queen was forced to death." Wei Qi wanted to raise his hand to strangle Wei Yanzhou's neck: "She was forced to death!"
"It's you who deserve to die, it's you!"
Everyone thought that the queen died of illness.
But in fact, the title of Queen was given after Wei Qi ascended the throne.
When she died, Wei Qi was still the prince. When she came back, she had even been buried in the coffin.
A beauty is a beauty. Even if she loses her color, when she closes her eyes in the coffin, she can still remind people of her smile.
They all told Wei Qi that the princess died suddenly, and expressed their condolences to him.
He turned around and looked at the two children huddled in Concubine Wen's arms, not knowing yet whether they would live or die.
Wei Yanshu is bigger, but he is a little shorter than Wei Yanzhou.
Wei Qi hugged him and stayed with him in the mourning hall all night.
Later, Wei Qi's father, the future Supreme Emperor, also came. He only glanced at the mourning hall and left again.
But before leaving, he pinched Wei Yanzhou's face.
Everything that I thought was normal before, but when I think about it before I die, everything is weird and hidden.
One year before Wei Yanshu Wei Yanzhou was born, Cheng Fengxu successfully obtained the military talisman of the 300,000-strong army in the northwest.
That year Cheng Ning was born, and everyone said she was the lucky star of the Cheng family.
Wei Qi also thought that it was because of his outstanding merits and the impartial authorization from the Supreme Emperor.
But this was not the case. It was clear that during his time away from the palace, Cheng Fengxu accomplished something for the Supreme Emperor and sent his princess to the Supreme Emperor's bed.
Titles and military power are both rewards.
Wei Qi made a ridiculous mistake and thought that the Cheng family were the confidants left by his father. For more than 20 years, he relied even more heavily on them.
But Concubine Wen told him before she died that all this was just his imagination.
The woman I loved most didn't die suddenly, it was just an infinite absurdity.
His trusting father only took a fancy to his benevolent and honest nature, which he could easily control.
The son he raised is not a son, he is a biological brother of the same generation!
The most ridiculous winner is the Cheng family. Cheng Fengxu has risen through the ranks, held numerous positions of power, and even attempted to marry his daughter into the imperial city to become a queen.
