Marry a Duke

Chapter 304 Fortunately

"Impossible." She could no longer hold back her screams, "Wei Xuan, you can't possibly find it."

"The eldest princess has overestimated herself. The prince had already ordered someone to secretly replace your Red Stone Powder. What you gave them was just the same powder as the Red Stone Powder. It won't be of much use." Wei Xuan completely broke all the bottom lines of the eldest princess.

She can control people with Akaishi powder.

But once she is without the Akaishika powder, no one can control her.

"Wei Xuan, I'm going to kill you." The princess roared, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and kill Wei Xuan. Whoever kills him will be given a high position and generous salary by me."

Although the words were spoken, no one dared to move.

Those who can enter the palace to serve as inner guards must have extraordinary skills. However, no matter how extraordinary they are, they dare not compare with the Duke of Wei, who is known as the war ghost on the battlefield.

He kills without blinking an eye.

Whoever rushes forward first will not only fail to get a high position, but may even lose his life.

When the princess is sentenced for treason, they will only be accomplices.

All nine clans must be executed.

"You can't kill me. The two troops you secretly brought back have all been taken away. Princess, give up your fantasy. Today is the day you die."

Upon hearing this, the princess knew that she was completely hopeless.

Wei Xuan had a clear grasp of her deployment.

"No, it's impossible—"

she muttered.

Wei Xuan glanced down at the guards.

"If you repent and kill the princess now, the emperor will definitely punish you leniently."

He didn't want his hands to be stained with dirty blood.

In the blink of an eye.

The eldest princess was stabbed by several long knives, her eyes widened in disbelief.

She had clearly made arrangements everywhere.

It was because she was too kind that the emperor lived a few more days.

If the emperor dies, the third prince will be in her hands.

Yes, the third prince is still in her hands.

"Wei Xuan, you will not die well, Third Prince—"

"Don't worry, Third Prince. The Duke of our country will definitely have someone find him. The child is still young and will not bear the heavy crime you have imposed on him. His mother died because of you, and the young child is innocent. I will send Ruhui to reunite with you later."

The eldest princess' eyes widened and blood kept gushing out from the corners of her mouth.

The pain overwhelmed her.

She had a lot more to say, but she couldn't utter a word.

She refused.

As soon as the eldest princess died, everyone surrendered, and Wei Xuan released the acupuncture point for Emperor Tianyuan.

When Emperor Tianyuan learned that the eldest princess had died, he no longer felt any sadness. To him, she was no longer a person who shared the same blood with him.

It's his enemy.

"Good death, throw the body into a mass grave."

"Yes."

Fu Ran couldn't sleep all night in the Duke of Weiguo's mansion.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of Wei Xuan in danger would appear in her mind. Even though she knew how powerful he was, this was no small matter.

A person as vicious as the eldest princess would have more means and arrangements.

She had already occupied the palace and had the advantage.

If Wei Xuan takes a wrong step, he will most likely be crushed to pieces.

She just sat in the room and waited.

It was almost dawn when Bi'an came back with the news that the eldest princess had died and all was well in the palace.

The Duke will be back home later.

Fu Ran finally put his mind at ease. He had breakfast with his family before lying down on the bed and resting his eyes in peace.

Wei Xuan returned home at noon.

The affairs in the palace have been almost dealt with. Emperor Tianyuan was given too much Red Stone Powder and it was impossible for him to quit taking it. He could only continue to take it in small amounts.

Just endure it as long as you can.

As for those palace guards who committed serious crimes, they were executed.

Those with minor crimes were released to save their lives.

But without continuing to take the red stone powder, their lives would not last long.

Wei Xuan selected a group of people from the city defense camp to fill the vacancies of the palace guards.

Hu Youyu led the imperial guards to temporarily handle the trivial matters of the inner palace.

Wei Xuan also found the third prince——

Since the little prince was the most important bargaining chip in the eldest princess's hand, he was safe and sound and was being watched by the eldest princess's attendants.

When those people learned that the eldest princess was dead, they all abandoned the little prince and fled.

Wei Xuan has already ordered people to hunt him down.

Ruhui is imprisoned and will be dealt with by the emperor.

If the emperor wants her to die, he can do so at any time.

If she doesn't, she's just a lunatic.

In order to avoid future troubles, the emperor immediately gave poison and asked Ruhui to go and accompany her mother.

Fu Ran was sleeping when he heard a faint sound beside his ear.

After staying up all night, she was really tired.

I don't want to open my eyes at all.

It wasn't until someone pulled her into his arms that she suddenly opened her eyes.

"You're back."

It was Wei Xuan. He had already taken a bath and even washed his hair.

"Why don't you dry your hair after taking a shower? You will catch a cold." She stood up and used a dry towel to wipe his hair.

Perhaps, he was covered in blood, so he washed himself from head to toe.

She didn't let Wei Xuan continue lying down until his hair was dry.

"Have you had your meal?"

He tossed and turned all night last night and his eyes were red.

"I ate a little." He half-closed his eyes and held her face in his hands. "I heard that you didn't sleep last night. Are you so worried about me?"

"Of course. How could I sleep if you were going to do such a dangerous thing? If I wasn't afraid of getting into trouble by waiting outside the palace, I would have asked Qian Wu and Qiao'er to take me there." She muttered.

Last night was dangerous, and everyone in the mansion knew about it.

Not only her, but also her mother-in-law, Wei Lin and sister-in-law did not get a good rest last night.

They were also worried that once the situation changed, the government would be controlled by the eldest princess, which would not be of any benefit to the Weiguo Mansion. The days to come would be more than just sad.

"Luckily you didn't go." He lay down and pulled her along. "Are you hungry?"

"I ate a lot in the morning, so I'm not hungry."

"Then stay with me for a while."

Fu Ran nodded and snuggled quietly in his arms.

Wei Xuan was indeed tired.

Soon, his breathing calmed and he fell asleep.

Fu Ran, however, was not sleepy at all.

She just rested her head on his arm and kept looking at his sleeping face.

In the past, she didn't understand why the eldest princess targeted him everywhere and thought he was a disaster. Now she realized that the eldest princess had known for a long time that in Dayue, only Wei Xuan could shake her foundation.

Only Wei Xuan could stop her from doing what she wanted.

She had ambitions long ago, but she had kept them hidden deep inside.

Wei Xuan must have noticed it a long time ago.

He and the eldest princess never showed mercy, either openly or secretly.

The one who was soft-hearted in the past was Emperor Tianyuan.

Now, Emperor Tianyuan no longer dares to be merciful. The outcome is too tragic.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan stopped the coup in time.

She heard that Wei Xuan immediately took a sign and mobilized the imperial guards last night. The people from the city defense camp were guarding various palace gates together, and her father also went there.

Wei Xuan mobilized all the troops he could to stop the princess from calling back from outside.

If it had been a step later, it would have been impossible to succeed like this.

Fortunately——

The world can continue to be peaceful.
