Chapter 656: Lost flowers and willows
The emperor and empress got married, and the whole world celebrated.
Ji Fengwu had intended to have Prince Rui return to the capital, but was dissuaded by the ministers, who believed that the war was not over yet and it was not appropriate to transfer Prince Rui back to the capital, so Ji Fengwu had to give up the idea.
Ji Fengwu's original purpose of marrying Changsun Wuyou was to attack and humiliate Prince Rui. She had long seen that Prince Rui had taken a fancy to Changsun Wuyou and had seen them flirting with each other several times.
It's not that she likes Changsun Wuyou very much. Marrying Changsun Wuyou would firstly cause trouble for Prince Rui. Secondly, it was said that Changsun Wuyou was favored by Marquis Zhenguo, and Marquis Zhenguo had always looked down on her. If she married her son, was she afraid that he would not stand on her side?
But Ji Fengwu's good mood did not last long. On the wedding day, news of a great victory came from the border. Prince Rui had severely defeated the enemy and won several battles in a row. The entire court was ecstatic. Prince Rui was indeed brave, and even though he was disabled, he still lived up to the name of the God of War.
Look how short it has been and yet you have already made a great comeback.
It’s a pity that he is disabled, otherwise it’s hard to say who would sit on the throne of the new emperor.
When Ji Fengwu learned that King Rui had won the battle, her face turned dark, her good mood disappeared instantly, and she suppressed her anger in her heart.
When he saw Changsun Wuyou's reluctant face on the wedding night, he became even more furious and immediately asked Changsun Wuyou whether he was still thinking about Ji Huashang.
Changsun Wuyou's face turned pale and he denied it flatly, and was slapped in the face.
"Snapped!--"
"Bitch! You said you didn't miss her, but don't think I don't know that you and her have been flirting with each other for a long time."
Changsun Wuyou fell to the ground, his face pale, covering his face and remaining silent.
Ji Fengwu thought she had hit the nail on the head and became even more annoyed. She dragged him directly onto the bed and vented her anger on him while Changsun Wuyou struggled in fear.
When he found out that Changsun Wuyou was not a virgin, he tortured him even more cruelly and almost strangled him to death.
After a night of torture, when Changsun Wuyou's personal attendant saw the appearance of his own son, he was frightened and cried.
Although Ji Fengwu caused Changsun Wuyou to suffer because of her anger, in order to appease the Marquis of Zhenguo, a series of rewards flowed into Fengjun Palace, making many servants in the harem jealous.
……
A month later, good news and bad news came from the border.
The good news was that Jin had withdrawn its troops, the battle had been won, and King Rui would return to the court soon. Before everyone could rejoice, the next piece of news exploded like water in a frying pan.
King Beichen was ambushed by the enemy and fell off a cliff and died!
The news spread quickly like a plague, making some people happy and some sad.
Especially the new emperor, when he learned that King Beichen was dead, he was so shocked that he kicked his new favorite servant off the dragon bed, got up with his clothes on and went to the imperial study.
"Is the news true?"
The news of King Beichen's death really surprised Ji Fengwu.
Although he had already sat on the throne and Prince Rui was disabled and had no chance of succeeding to the throne, the existence of Prince Beichen still made her wary.
Just think about it, you finally become an emperor who rules the world, but your every word and action is still restricted by others, and you are afraid that you will be abolished if you do something wrong. Just thinking about it makes you feel suffocated.
Now that the news of King Beichen's death has come, how can we not be happy?
Now that the sword for hanging herself on the beam is gone, is she still afraid that someone will shake her throne?
Although Ji Fengwu was secretly happy, she couldn't feel at ease until the news of Di Ran's death was confirmed.
"Your Majesty, King Beichen was indeed ambushed by the enemy and fell off a cliff with serious injuries. The soldiers saw it with their own eyes!"
"There is a deep abyss under that cliff. If someone falls down, he will be smashed to pieces. The chances of survival are slim."
Hearing this, Ji Fengwu showed her inner joy without saying it, but pretended to be sad and regretful on her face. She waved her hand and gave the order directly.
"Queen Beichen has made great contributions to the court and is a pillar of our dynasty. Now that she has unfortunately passed away, I am deeply saddened. I have sent an order to the Ministry of Rites. Queen Beichen sacrificed her life for the country. Her loyalty is truly commendable. Her funeral must be held in a grand manner and must not be neglected."
"Yes!"
