"Don't worry! I don't lack good wine here! When the time comes, I'll drink with you personally. Let's not go home until we're drunk! "
Feng Cang's voice rang in Mingyue Cheng's ears from afar. Although he was talking about fine wine, Mingyue Cheng knew that Feng Cang had made a promise to take care of Murong Qiqi for the rest of her life. That was enough … …
In the palace, ever since Wanyan Yi's death, Wanyan Lie's expression had become dispirited.
Wanyan Hong had been crippled and imprisoned in the southern courtyard, while Wanyan Yi had died at Xia Yunxi's hands. Now that he couldn't count on either of his sons, Wanyan Lie suddenly felt much older.
Without Wanyan Yi, there were many officials who supported letting Wanyan Hong out and letting him continue as Crown Prince. But how could Wanyan Lie not know what kind of person Wanyan Hong was? The Crown Prince was the future Emperor, and Wanyan Hong wasn't qualified for this position. He didn't want the people of North Zhou to fall into trouble because of his choice.
An empty Crown Prince position wasn't a good thing. Because of Wanyan Yi, Xia Yunxi had died in North Zhou. This was something that gave Wanyan Lie a headache. If the East Lu Country refused to let it go, and even went as far as to activate their battle formations, then it would be another troublesome matter.
There were many rumors about this matter, but they all said that the person behind this was Feng Cang. He didn't want to marry Xia Yunxi, so he used Wanyan Yi to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of them.
Without Wanyan Yi as a competitor, Feng Cang was one step closer to the throne. If East Lu sent troops because of Xia Yunxi, Feng Cang could lead the troops. With power in his hands, even if Wanyan Lie didn't want to make him Crown Prince, he could still rebel …
Wanyan Lie only listened to these words and didn't take them to heart.
Feng Cang rebelling? Wanyan Lie didn't believe it. He had already given Feng Cang a chance to rebel years ago by handing over the military power of the Northern Zhou Kingdom to Feng Cang. He wanted nothing more than to provoke conflict between Feng Cang and his princes. However, Feng Cang had always been stable and did not have any thoughts of offending the emperor. This was much better than his son.
If Feng Cang wanted to seize the throne, the entire North Zhou Kingdom's military power would be in his hands. Seizing the throne would be a piece of cake for him. There was no need for him to wait for the opportunity to attack Dong Lu Kingdom. Feng Cang had no desires, it was because he knew this that Wanyan Lie was so at ease, he used Gu while giving Feng Cang candy and a stick.
However, Feng Cang had been acting strangely recently. Ever since Murong Qiqi's appearance, he seemed to have changed his mind. Feng Cang, who had never cared about anyone or anything, started to care about Murong Qiqi after meeting her.
Although this was inconceivable in the eyes of outsiders, Wanyan Lie had given them the greatest affirmation and support since they were blood-related siblings.
If possible, letting Feng Cang inherit the throne wouldn't be a bad idea either. Wanyan Lie had this thought in his mind, but he didn't tell anyone. He had to think about it carefully. After all, he had to support Feng Cang and face those pedantic old pedants in the court. What should he do?
While Murong Qiqi was not around, Wanyan Lie went to Eternal Autumn Palace to visit Wanyan Mingyue.
Not knowing if it was because he hadn't been here for a long time, Wanyan Lie found that Wanyan Mingyue was even more beautiful than before. In the past, she always had a cold expression when she laid on the warm jade bed. But now, Wanyan Mingyue's expression was much gentler and her skin was glowing brighter, looking more and more like her appearance before she fell asleep.
Could this be related to Murong Qiqi? Could it be that Wanyan Mingyue heard Murong Qiqi's voice from above and knew that her daughter had returned, so she was showing signs of waking up? It seemed that Murong Qiqi was Wanyan Mingyue's blessing! It's great that this child who was lost and found again is back!
"Yue Er, are you going to wake up? Have you forgiven big brother? "Wanyan Lie grabbed Wanyan Mingyue's hand excitedly.
Her hand was warm! This news shocked Wanyan Lie once again! Although Wanyan Mingyue was in a deep sleep state because of the warm jade bed, her body temperature was lower than a normal person's. But now, Wanyan Lie could actually feel the body temperature of a normal person from Wanyan Mingyue, how could he not be excited!
"Great! That's great! "
Wanyan Lie shouted excitedly. Feeling that his face was a little wet, Wanyan Lie reached out to wipe it, only to find that his eyes were filled with tears. He had waited for so many years and hoped for so many years. Finally, he could feel Wanyan Mingyue's response. This was simply too great!
"Imperial physician, Jing De, summon the imperial physician!" Because of his excitement, Wanyan Lie actually asked Jing De to summon the imperial physician to take Wanyan Mingyue's pulse. Luckily, Jing De was still rational and quickly stopped Wanyan Lie. "Your Majesty, which imperial physician do you intend to summon? If the imperial physician knows that Princess Mingyue is still alive, what do you intend to do? "
Jing De's words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Wanyan Lie from his excitement.
That's right! In North Zhou, everyone knew that Wanyan Mingyue was a dead person. If she were to reappear in front of everyone, what would happen? First of all, Jinxuan Palace's Empress Dowager, Dongfang Lan, would not let him off. She would definitely investigate what happened that year!
"No! I can't do this! "For Wanyan Mingyue's matter, he had already killed many people. Now that Wanyan Mingyue was about to wake up, he could not kill anymore! He had to accumulate good karma for her and also pray for Wanyan Mingyue! Her willingness to wake up meant that she did not hate him as much as before!
Once he thought that he might be forgiven by Wanyan Mingyue, the heavy stone that had been weighing on Wanyan Lie's heart for 16 years finally felt a lot lighter. His mood that had been affected by Wanyan Hong and Wanyan Yi also improved a lot.
Seeing the radiant Wanyan Mingyue, Wanyan Lie increasingly felt that Murong Qiqi was someone who brought good fortune to her parents. Although her father, Feng Xie, was no longer around, Wanyan Mingyue had obviously improved a lot. It seemed that Murong Qiqi was his benefactor!
Originally, Wanyan Lie was still a little hesitant about the matter of the throne. Now, he had already made up his mind. Feng Cang as the Emperor and Murong Qiqi as the Empress. This was the best match. As for him, he would wait for Wanyan Mingyue to wake up so that he could take her away from this place and start a new life.
Wanyan Lie was happy and Jing De's mood improved a lot. After following the Emperor for so many years and seeing him do so many things, Jing De did not dare to rashly judge him, be it success or failure, right or wrong. His only hope was that the Emperor could be as happy as he was today. As a servant, he naturally only wished for the best for his master.
