Chapter 194.2
Dont forget, Father Emperor has no intention of passing the throne to this son. His preferred successor is Jin Wang. If Jin Wang is to ascend the throne, how will he treat Mother Empress? How will he treat the Wei Family? Does he truly have no doubts about Consort Des death? Even if he has no doubts about that, he should at least suspect Mother Empress after everything you have done to him. Zhao Zuo used that incident to blackmail you, but you also know that the antidote Jin Wangs poison had come from him, or rather, from the Wei Family. Jin Wang has likely already seen through the conspiracy behind the scenes and is now just waiting for the right time to make a critical blow. Mother Empress, dont be too compassionate!
Thats right, she should not be too compassionate. They had already planned this long ago.
In order to deceive the world, they did not directly attack the emperor but took a roundabout approach. According to their original intentions, they would execute their plan after the emperor was unconscious, faking a will he left behind to pass the throne to Dai Wang. However, they did not expect that there would be people causing trouble one after another. Jin Wang had even used his own three-year-old son, which delayed them for a considerable amount of time.
They tried to find ways to make their original plan work, but to no avail, so they took action directly. The only thing that took more effort was Yong Wang, who was already dead at this point.
Now that they have succeeded, when dawn comes tomorrow, news of the emperors passing would be announced, and everything would proceed according to the original plan.
Once the bow is drawn, the arrow cannot be turned back. So the emperor must die.
Only by dying would there be a will.
Only then could Dai Wang ascend to the throne. She would be honoured as the Empress Dowager, and the Wei Family would have a prosperous future.
With a chaotic mind, Empress Wei walked step by step toward the dragon bed.
The emperor on the bed was already an old man, with wrinkles on his face, gray hair and beard, and faint brown spots on his once strong and powerful hands.
Empress Wei, with tears in her eyes, vaguely remembered the day they got married. He was handsome and powerful, and she was shy and beautiful, as if in a dream.
Unfortunately
Unfortunately, they were not an ordinary couple after all. He was destined to have many women, and she was destined to watch on, powerless to resist. She had once thought that one day he would come back to her, after all, she was his empress.
But this belief gradually faded away with the passing of time.
He was the emperor, she was the empress. They were no longer husband and wife.
Empress Wei suddenly turned around and walked away without looking back.
She was dressed up today, wearing a bright red gold-embroidered phoenix robe, with golden phoenixes spreading their wings all over the robe, and the long skirt dragging on the ground. She quickly disappeared from sight.
Dai Wang turned his head and waved his hand, and a ghost-like figure suddenly appeared in front of the dragon bed.
This person picked up a soft pillow from the dragon bed next to him and covered the face of the man lying on the bed. The man was motionless at first before suddenly starting to struggle a little, albeit it was extremely weak. The man soon stopped twitching and became motionless again.
After smothering the man on the bed for a while, the person finally let go and saw that he was sweating profusely. However, he did not have time to wipe off his sweat as he checked for the other persons breathing first before returning to Dai Wangs side.
Your Highness, hes already passed away.
Dai Wang nodded and did not stay longer, only leaving behind an order to have everything arranged well before leaving in a hurry.
When Yaoniang realized there was no one beside her, her heart tightened unconsciously. But she faintly saw a dim light outside the curtain. She picked up the clothes at the head of the bed to put on before peering outside to take a look.
The light came from outside the screen, a dim yellow light with a thin figure sitting behind it, long hair cascading behind him and his figure resembling that of bamboo.
He was standing in front of someone, and they were having a conversation, but because their voices were low, Yaoniang could not hear them clearly. However, just by seeing the figure on the screen, she felt at ease.
She didnt go out, just leaned against the bed railing and looked outside like she was watching shadow puppets. Unfortunately, except for the occasional flicker of candlelight, the two figures hardly moved, as if they were not tired at all.
Finally, the standing person left, and the sitting person suddenly moved, his shadow disappearing over the screen as he came back in.
As soon as Jin Wang walked in, he saw her standing there, with her smooth long hair falling behind her head, wearing only a light green nightgown. She looked tender and small, like a lost jade rabbit.
Why arent you sleeping?
She seemed a little embarrassed to be caught peeking and rubbed her eyes. I woke up and didnt see you. Did something happen?
Nothing.
Dont lie to me, something must have happened.
Jin Wang walked over, put his arm around her waist, and walked toward the bed. Nothing happened, maybe something happened in the palace.
What happened?
Benwang also doesnt know what happened exactly. Well probably find out after dawn.
But they didnt have to wait until dawn. The news came before mao-shi even arrived.
