The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 246: Reincarnation

Wei Zhao had no desire for the throne. But that position would allow him to protect those he wanted to protect.

What he meant by being busy or not was just a polite remark he made to Ying Fuyan.

If he becomes emperor, with so many official duties, are all the officials he employs just sitting around doing nothing? Putting aside others, He Xuran would probably be willing to do it for him so he can visit his niece in the palace more often.

Wei Zhao dared not easily trust people.

Moreover, there was Ying Fuyan, whom he had only met once.

In truth, the two only had a superficial relationship, both wanting Emperor Yingqian to meet a terrible end. He didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps and let others decide his fate.

He was wary of Ying Fuyan.

Ying Fuyan was able to get him to come here.

First, they were genuinely poor.

Secondly, as far as Ying Fuyan was concerned, he feared that there wasn't enough time and he couldn't afford to delay any longer.

Ying Fuyan has influence, but not in the capital. To ensure everything goes smoothly, cooperating with Wei Zhao is the best option.

Rather than saying Wei Zhao needed Ying Fuyan, it would be more accurate to say that Ying Fuyan needed Wei Zhao's assistance more.

Wei Zhao said coldly, "It's already difficult enough to alleviate the suffering you usually endure. Ying Fuyan is currently unable to have children."

"Even if Elder Ge were here, he could only delay it for three years at most."

This is Ying Fuyan's fatal weakness.

It was also a weakness he was willing to expose to Wei Zhao.

Ying Fuyan posed no threat to him.

Given Ying Fuyan's hatred for the royal family, would he spare other people with the surname Ying after ascending to the throne?

Chi Yu didn't understand.

“But the general could have taken that position himself. When the time was right, the Wei family army would have broken through the capital and marched straight to the palace, and then they could have cut off Emperor Yingqian’s head.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhao twitched his lips.

Not to mention the squalor of wealth and power, while the poor freeze to death on the streets. There are countless places like Ze County in the Great Jin Dynasty.

When I took over, it was a complete mess.

The important thing...

“If I don’t proceed cautiously step by step, even if my father dies at the hands of that dog emperor, and the truth comes out, I will be seen as a traitor and a villain in the eyes of the world when I kill him.”

He doesn't mind having this reputation.

But there is clearly a better option now.

The Shunguo Duke's family has a long history of loyalty and good reputation. Wei Zhao is unwilling to let it be ruined because of one person.

He was too ashamed to set foot in the Wei family ancestral hall during his lifetime. He feared that after his death, he would be even less able to face his ancestors in the afterlife.

"But the way it should be is different."

Wei Zhao spoke slowly, "His name is... 'Correcting the Chaos'."

Wei Zhao's expression was unclear: "Do you think that money is easy to take?"

Chi Yu understood.

He tried to process it, thinking to himself that it still had to be the general.

Chi Yu dared not delay and hurriedly went to do what Wei Zhao had instructed.

Wei Zhao watched his figure disappear before turning back.

The girl sat by the pool, gently swinging her legs.

Her ankles were slender, and her feet were as white as jade, unpainted, yet still delicate and pink.

Wei Zhao approached and stood before her.

"Did you hear everything?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

You didn't even try to lower your voice!

The girl's eyes were clear and moist: "Hmm?"

I don't understand Wei Zhao's intentions.

Wei Zhao leaned down slightly, his warm fingertips brushing against her jade-like earlobe, and said in a low voice, "The friendship between the Duke of Shun's mansion and the Prince of Yan's mansion is a matter of the previous generation for me. From the moment I came here, I was thinking of using Ying Fuyan."

"Upon learning of his illness, I felt no pity, but instead used it to choose the path that was most advantageous to me."

"Your bedmate isn't so refined; he's a master of calculation and perhaps not so upright."

I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

He's just a bit too cold-blooded.

They will spend the rest of their lives together from now on.

In a court rife with intrigue and deceit, a truly virtuous person cannot ultimately uphold the legacy of the Duke of Shun's mansion.

Yu Tingwan should also know about his other side.

Yu Tingwan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

She frowned.

“Throughout history, there have been countless instances of brothers turning against each other. My husband and the Prince of Yan have only just met. How can you trust him? Even if you could, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing.” “I don’t understand other matters, but what you are about to do is no small matter. There are thousands of Wei family soldiers under your command. They have parents and families and are willing to follow you. For your own sake and for their sake, you must be cautious in everything you do. No one is as reliable as yourself.”

"In my opinion, this matter cannot be considered an exploitation."

The villagers of Xilin Village only cared about their grain and land; they had no time to discuss outside affairs. She knew very little about matters of the imperial court.

Yu Tingwan was not a person without foresight.

After returning to Ze County and learning of Wei Zhao's identity, the young woman would always pay attention to people mentioning him on the street.

answer.

National surname.

It's the heir apparent again.

It is clear that he was a member of the royal family, yet he lived in seclusion here.

She said softly, "He must also be a very capable person."

"The negotiation was mutually beneficial and consensual. He got what he wanted from his husband, and his husband got what he wanted from him. There was no coercion involved."

Wei Zhao was surprised that she would say such a thing and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Yu Tingwan always seemed to bring him surprises.

Wei Zhao slowly straightened up.

Some things can't be hidden, and he never intended to hide them; the girl would find out sooner or later anyway.

Yu Tingwan noticed the complex emotions on his face and paused slightly.

"Yes...what's wrong?"

Did she say something wrong?

For a moment, Wei Zhao's eyes lost focus.

Do you know why I tried to kill myself?

Yu Tingwan: ...

I really don’t know.

However, Ge Lao told her privately that Wei Zhao was just being pretentious.

Although he really is being difficult.

Yu Tingwan knew there must be a hidden story behind it.

Wei Zhao didn't look at the girl. Yu Tingwan's eyes were so pure, so pure that he couldn't describe them.

His eyes were unfocused.

It stood there quietly and alone.

"Before I committed suicide, my birth mother was seriously ill. When I learned of this, I was extremely anxious. I secretly rushed back to my home."

At that time, he was terrified that something might happen to the Duchess of Shun.

How could Wei Zhao not be afraid?
Only he and his mother remained in the Wei family. His father had repeatedly told him to protect himself and Ning Suchan before he could finally close his eyes.

Wei Zhao feared that something might happen to the Duchess of Shun.

Then he was truly all alone.

As darkness fell, Wei Zhao returned to his residence without disturbing the servants, and had just entered the courtyard of the Duchess of Shunguo.

Can……

Wei Zhao twitched the corner of his lips.

His tone turned cold, devoid of any warmth.

"My father was killed by that dog emperor."

Wei Zhao managed to squeeze out a sentence: "But I saw him in my birth mother's room that night."

He witnessed Lady Shunguo seeing the man out of the room.

Yu Tingwan's heart skipped a beat.

A man and a woman alone together late at night is certainly suggestive.

She was just about to ask if there was a misunderstanding.

But Wei Zhao's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Wei Zhao's mouth was filled with bitterness. At that moment, his blood rushed to his head, and he thought that Emperor Yingqian was even trying to poison the Duchess of Shun. Ignoring everything else, he was about to rush over.

But then he heard Emperor Yingqian ask a question.

"I wonder how things are going with him?"

Wei Zhao's legs felt as if they weighed a ton, and he could no longer take a single step.

Return to it?

In the capital, everyone knows that Wei Zhao, the heir of the Duke of Shun's mansion, will be reincarnated.

My uncle was General Jingyuan, my father was Duke of Shun, and my mother was the eldest daughter of Marquis Ning.

Because of the merits and achievements of his ancestors, Wei also received imperial favor.

The character "归" (gui) was bestowed by the emperor.

Guess whether the Duchess of Shun is good or bad.
