Wei Ziyao's words could be said to be extremely benevolent.
She was not looking down on the Northern Wen Emperor from a high position of wisdom.
In terms of political ability and courage, she did not dare to compare with an emperor.
However, as a modern person, she had some principles accumulated over thousands of years, plus more than 20 years of experience from watching TV series.
When it came to love, he still had some experience.
"Your Majesty, that's all I have to say. Concubine Duan really didn't do anything wrong. It's really because of her physical condition, so … please let Concubine Duan out of that cold place on account of our many years of friendship."
The Northern Wen Emperor had been waiting for Wei Ziyao to plead for mercy. Since she had come to plead for mercy, he naturally had to let Consort Duan go.
"Go back first. I'll think about it."
Ki Chien-chul and Wei Ziyao also knew that even if he wanted to let Consort Duan go, it would be impossible to do so immediately.
Fortunately, it seemed that the Northern Wen Emperor would really let Consort Duan go.
The two of them left, but the Northern Wen Emperor sat on the high platform and did not move for a long time.
It was lonely at the top. Since he sat on the throne, the people around him had gradually drifted away.
Even with Wei Heng, there was no sense of brotherhood between them.
But it was lonely at the top, wasn't it?
It was a lonely position. He ruled the Northern Qin Kingdom high above, received everyone's respect, and held the power of life and death.
As a ruler, he should give up some romantic feelings.
But what was going on now?
"Eunuch Fu, am I … old?"
He had never thought about this before.
Governing the country and ruling the world, he had endless things to do. The young rush made him completely ignore his loneliness.
But recently, that feeling had become more and more obvious.
"Your Majesty, we are old. It's inevitable that people will feel sentimental when they are old."
Eunuch Fu was much older than the emperor, so of course he knew what he meant.
"It's just that Your Majesty, you don't have to be afraid. You can enjoy life. You are still strong and healthy now, so it's not a problem for you to rule the country. When you go back, if you want to enjoy the happiness of family, you can pass the throne to your trusted son. Then you can sit and enjoy family life. How great would that be?"
"You old bastard, only you would dare to say such words."
If this was said in a small way, it could be said that he was being considerate. If it was said in a big way, it could be said that he was trying to usurp the throne.
"This old servant only dares to say such nonsense because of the Emperor's favor."
"Sigh … You're not the only one who takes advantage of my favor. That Wei Ziyao is much worse than you."
"Although Wangfei is overboard, but every time she says something that touches your heart, isn't that why you dote on her so much? Wangfei seems to be rash and speaks without thinking, but her heart is like a mirror, and she has never done anything out of line. "
"All right, all right." Hearing Eunuch Fu's praise, Northern Wen Emperor waved his hand impatiently and said, "My ears are going to grow calluses from hearing you praise her. You don't need to praise her. I know that I have chosen a good daughter-in-law, but … I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse for Che 'er to marry Wei Ziyao."
This matter had always been a knot in Northern Wen Emperor's heart.
Eunuch Fu immediately understood what Northern Wen Emperor meant.
"Your Majesty, as this old servant said just now, you haven't reached the point where you have no choice. You're still young, and with the princess consort here, your health is getting better day by day. So, this old servant thinks that you still have time to consider the princes, or … His Highness Prince Yin, this old servant thinks that you still have time to consider. If he is really outstanding, you can also consider him, right?"
"But after all, he has the blood of a foreign race in his body …"
For so many years, Northern Wen Emperor had been worried about this.
