Chapter 607: Chapter 607: The Emperor’s Death_1
Wei Jinyi quickly stepped out the door after giving some instructions to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo watched Wei Jinyi and Zhang Yi hurriedly leave.
Once they were gone, Wei Ruo asked Lin Fang, who had just arrived with Zhang Yi, “What happened? Why the urgency?”
Lin Fang’s face turned pale, “The Emperor… The Emperor has passed away…”
“What did you say?”
The Emperor’s dead?
How is that possible?
Their intelligence showed that the Emperor was still healthy when Wei Ruo sent someone to deliver medicine to the capital during the New Year!
Why is he gone just a few months later?
“The Emperor has passed away. I am not yet sure of the specifics. I didn’t have a chance to learn the details from Guard Zhang,” said Lin Fang.
Wei Ruo was worried about this issue and thus didn’t go out to busy herself with the spring planting.
Wei Ruo waited in the room for a long time before Wei Jinyi finally returned.
“What’s the story?”
“King Jing murdered the Emperor.”
“What? Murder…the…Emperor…” Wei Ruo could hardly believe it. The term “the regicide” was overwhelmingly heavy.
“The Emperor intended to name King Qin as the Crown Prince, and King Jing took matters into his own hands first.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Ruo was unable to calm down for a long time.
Chu Lan committed regicide!
He actually murdered his own father!
In the original story, the Emperor didn’t live this long. By the time of his death, the political situation had already leaned towards Chu Lan, which allowed Chu Lan to ascend the throne smoothly.
But now, the situation had changed. The Emperor was still alive and for some reason, he had distanced himself from Chu Lan.
Little did they expect, this change would result in King Jing committing such a treacherous act!
Regicide! Patricide!
How could he dare to do this!
Because it took some time for the news to travel from the capital to Jiliao, it was feared that everything in the capital had already been settled by now.
Even if they set off now and hurried back, it would be too late.
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi, not knowing how to comfort him.
Although Wei Jinyi had not been reunited with the Emperor for long, Wei Ruo could see from various incidents that the Emperor cared a lot about Wei Jinyi.
Several times, Wei Ruo felt that the Emperor, when he was in front of Wei Jinyi, was more like an ordinary father rather than a king.
The various actions taken by the Emperor these past two years, his suppression of King Jing and King Yu, were, to some extent, a form of protection for Wei Jinyi.
The man who stood high above and was incredibly complex in his thoughts had made many exceptions for Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jinyi didn’t voice his sorrow to Wei Ruo, but the sadness in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
After pondering for a while, Wei Ruo went up to him and hugged Wei Jinyi silently.
At this moment, words were too feeble. All she could do was stay by his side and make her presence felt.
