Chapter 348: The Position of Imperial Merchant
Hearing Wu Weiwei's heartfelt words, Emperor Mingcheng was deeply moved.
During the time he was bedridden, he was not actually unaware of the sounds coming from the outside world.
He knew that the Empress would stop at nothing to help the Crown Prince ascend the throne.
It was this seemingly insignificant woman, who had no connection to him whatsoever, who had gone to such lengths to save him.
Emperor Mingcheng looked at Wu Weiwei, pondering what kind of reward he should give her.
Wu Weiwei was also feeling a little uneasy at this moment.
She said those things just now to dispel the emperor's suspicions about her.
Otherwise, the accusation of colluding with bandits in Chulong Prefecture would be enough to cause her serious trouble.
After a while.
Emperor Mingcheng said to Eunuch Wei, "Draft an imperial edict!"
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: In my time of crisis, I was fortunate to be rescued by Wu Weiwei, whose righteous act is evident. Furthermore, I have heard that Wu Weiwei has lived in the capital for many years and has been a businessman who balances righteousness and profit."
He is hereby appointed as a special supplier to the imperial court, and bestowed with the title of Loyal and Righteous Merchant. This is the imperial decree!
"This humble woman thanks Your Majesty for your grace! Long live the Emperor!"
Wu Weiwei was thrilled. Although she hadn't received any official position, becoming a royal merchant was a recognition from the emperor, which would make her even more adept at business.
After Wu Weiwei withdrew, the emperor looked at Eunuch Wei.
"Eunuch Wei, do you think I'm being a bit stingy?"
Logically, for saving the emperor's life, she should be granted a title such as a princess or county princess. However, due to the entanglement between Wu Weiwei and Lu Hanting, he felt that she should not be given such a title!
Eunuch Wei smiled as he watched the people walk out.
"Your Majesty, by granting her the title of Imperial Merchant, you have already shown her your appreciation."
I imagine Master Wu is pleased too! But if Your Majesty is pleased, it wouldn't be impossible to make up for it later..."
Since Eunuch Wei had chosen to cooperate with Wu Weiwei, he was naturally pleased to see her achieve success.
But after all, the Emperor was his master, and as long as the Emperor's life was not in danger, he naturally hoped that she would gain more!
"Alright, let's leave it at that for today! Whether she can get it in the future depends on her own abilities!"
The emperor waved his hand, still feeling weak despite his recent recovery.
Phoenix Palace.
When the Empress learned that the Emperor had awakened, she was filled with anxiety and unease.
"Granny Sha, why was Wu Weiwei able to enter the palace to present medicine to His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that His Majesty gave Lady Wu a written edict earlier, so... But it doesn't matter. Even if His Majesty wakes up, the Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince!"
Seeing the Empress's furious appearance, Granny Sha quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
"Hmph, I wouldn't have dared to say it before, but now that the Emperor has an illegitimate son outside, how could I possibly know what he's thinking..."
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is doing a very good job overseeing the country on behalf of the Emperor, while the one outside is nowhere to be seen."
"It's uncertain; he's long gone. If you ask me, you're worrying too much!"
Yes, maybe I'm just overthinking it.
So what if the child born to that woman surnamed Luo is a boy?
So many years have passed, and no one has come looking for him. He's probably just a good-for-nothing.
Her son is now the Crown Prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, so what does she have to fear!
Just as she thought of this, she heard the eunuch's shrill voice from outside, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has decreed that you must come over immediately!"
……
After returning home, Liu Shuning felt restless and uneasy.
Upon meeting Lu Hanting again, He Yuyan had regained her memories from her previous life.
Why is this happening so differently than in my past life?
In her past life, Lu Hanting conquered the world, and she became the woman he loved most; she was Lu Hanting's destined empress.
How did Wu Weiwei manage to survive until now?
She was nothing more than a lowly maid in the Marquis of Dingguo's household, and she had died before he returned to the manor.
But what's with Wu Weiwei suddenly appearing now?
Could it be that she, like herself, is someone who has died and been reborn?
But it doesn't look like it!
If Wu Weiwei is truly a reborn person, wouldn't she know that the Crown Prince is the chosen one who will one day unify the world?
Liu Shuning twisted her handkerchief; she had to see Wu Weiwei again to test whether she, like herself, had been reborn.
outside the city.
"General Qin, there seems to be something unusual ahead!"
When the Duke of Qin led his troops through the mountains and forests, he heard his scouts rushing back to report.
The old man in armor on horseback narrowed his eyes slightly. "It seems someone doesn't want this general to return to the capital!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of masked men wielding large knives appeared nearby.
Seeing the group of masked men staring at him menacingly like jackals, the Duke of Qin's demeanor suddenly changed.
"All troops, listen to my command! Anyone who blocks my path will be killed without mercy!"
Lu Hanting had just returned to the manor when Ru Feng rushed in to report.
"Your Highness, we have just received news that the Duke of Qin was ambushed by a group of masked men on his way back to the capital. We heard that the Duke of Qin was stabbed..."
Lu Hanting squinted his eyes.
He was already in a state of turmoil because of the emperor's awakening.
As it turned out, Ru Feng was incredibly tactless.
"The Duke of Qin was assassinated because he offended someone. Why are you reporting this to me?"
"Prince, this..."
Just now, someone from the Jingzhao Prefecture came and ordered their young master to come over. Ru Feng wondered if this was because they suspected the young master and that's why they rushed over to report it!
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
Seeing the prince's displeasure, Ru Feng quickly spoke up.
"Your Highness, the Jingzhao Prefecture suspects that you sent someone to carry out the attack. They came to the residence just now to ask you to come over and cooperate with the investigation..."
Hearing Ru Feng's words, Lu Hanting's face suddenly turned as cold as ice, looking quite chilling.
This made Ru Feng, who was standing in front of him, tremble.
However, Tian Wei probably felt his position was too secure, and he became so bold as to dare to provoke their heir.
Just as Ru Feng was thinking this, and thought the prince would not reply, he heard his cold voice ring out.
"Let's go, to the Capital Prefecture!"
When Wu Weiwei returned from the palace, she saw Pang Tuo rushing over with a happy expression.
"Master, I've come to bring good news!"
Wu Weiwei looked up.
"You knew already?"
Wu Weiwei thought he knew that she had just been appointed as a royal merchant by the emperor.
Seeing the joy on his boss's face, Fatty Tuo seemed to be infected by it as well.
"I heard that Qingzhu has taken over three tribes overseas that border Huangdong, and he's coming back tomorrow!"
Hearing the good news brought by Pang Tuo, Wu Weiwei was naturally overjoyed.
How could Qingzhu be so powerful that he conquered the Huangdong tribe in just two months?
"In that case, things have been full of pleasant surprises lately!"
Lingfu couldn't help but chime in from the side.
"A series of surprises?"
Pang Tuo was curious.
"Manager Hao, you don't know, do you? Our young lady has become a royal merchant!"
