Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 641: Abandoned Son - Hegemony (5)

"It is really because I am old and weak! I often feel dizzy and my vision is blurry these days, so I sometimes say some absurd things. I hope that Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be magnanimous and forgive my foolish behavior!"

The minister's face was full of fear, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

However, Wu Dejing, who was standing aside, had a sullen expression, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

He raised his voice slightly and said, "Since you are well aware of your age and lack of energy, I will take the initiative today and allow you to retire and return home to enjoy your old age. In this way, you can gather with your children and grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family life!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the old man who had just celebrated his sixtieth birthday.

I just heard him kowtow hurriedly to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Majesty the Queen, for your understanding and concern! I am deeply grateful!" After saying that, he kowtowed heavily several more times.

Seeing this, Wu Dejing pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said loudly, "Now that this gentleman has resigned due to old age and returned home, the position he left behind cannot be left vacant. In my opinion, it is most appropriate for you, Mr. Jin, to take over this position."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately knelt on his knees, kowtowed respectfully and thanked him, saying: "Thank you for your love and appreciation, Your Highness. I will definitely not let you down. In the future, I will do my best to serve the court, even if it means my death!"

"My Lord, you have talent. It's a waste of talent to use such a small space. I am very optimistic about you."

"Yes!"

The two men stood up, each with a different look on their face. The others didn't dare to say a word, even though they were angry.

The door to the bedroom opened, and the imperial doctors came out one after another. Wu Dejing and his mother immediately rushed in and asked, "Imperial Physician, how is my father?"

"Your Majesty, is your illness under control?"

The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead, removed the last silver needle, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the patient's condition had stabilized.

He bowed and said, "I greet His Majesty the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Queen, all the ladies, princes, and princesses. Your Majesty's illness has been stabilized for the time being, but you cannot let your guard down. You must not take the longevity pills at this time."

"Have you noted it all down? Your Majesty, no matter how you ask, even if it means you are accusing me of something, don't give it to me," said the Queen.

Wu Dejing said directly: "Father has been addicted to the longevity pill. Maybe there is something wrong with the pill. It may be the work of the evil spirit."

Queen: "Check the elixir once more."

"promise."

"It's okay!"

Wu Dejing was the first to go in to see the patient. The person on the bed was skinny, had a head full of white hair, and was barely breathing. It seemed that his time was up.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well and needs to rest and recuperate. Please inform everyone that no one is allowed to disturb you unless necessary."

"Your Majesty is right. Send the Imperial Guards."

The mother and son left the palace, and the imperial guards arrived shortly afterwards and surrounded the palace. Those who wanted to visit the emperor were also stopped outside the palace.

The emperor was apparently resting, but in reality he was being kept under house arrest in the palace by the mother and son, leaving him to fend for himself.

Just as he returned to the East Palace and was about to take a short rest, Ye Jiu appeared and whispered in Wu Dejing's ear: "Master, there are strangers visiting the Villa, and Miss Bai has been kidnapped."

"what!"

The man slapped his thigh. Although his love for Bai Heqi was slowly fading, he would never tolerate anyone hurting her.

After a while, a carriage appeared not far from a remote villa. The man got off the carriage and finally lay on a big tree outside the high wall.

Before Wu Dejing looked towards the villa, he saw Bai Heqi looking at a masked man with excitement. How could he be kidnapped?

"Awang, you must be here to take me away. Wu Dejing is a coward, a stalker and a mean man. He has harmed me."

"Qier, where is your jade pendant? Can you let me see it?" The masked man patiently and lovingly looked at the woman.

"Jade pendant?"

"Qier, can't you remember that colorful jade ring?"

"Oh, it's that piece. I accidentally lost it."

"It's lost. What a pity."

Bai Heqi looked at the increasingly handsome Xin Jimang, and suddenly leaned over, panting: "Ah Wang, take me away, I will follow you to the ends of the earth and never leave you."

When Wu Dejing saw the man and woman hugging each other in the yard, his face turned pale. This woman really couldn't be fed well no matter how hard he tried.

He recognized at a glance that the man who was stealing his girlfriend was Xin Jiwang, but he was also puzzled as to why Xin Jiwang did not have bad luck after touching Bai Heqi.

"Awang, they all say that I am a disaster star. Anyone who touches me will be unlucky. But you are different. When you are by my side, I will be safe. The heaven must have pitied me and guided you to my side."

"Qier, I seem to have met a fairy. Her music can soothe the soul, and long-term listening can improve your hearing and vision."

"Awang, you are joking. If there is such an immortal, I am willing to be her slave and serve her tea and water."

"I'm not good at lying. She gave me a lucky charm and said that if I wear it, I will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and turn disaster into blessing."

"Is it true?"

"Of course it came true. My carriage was once hit by thousands of arrows and I thought I was going to die, but that yellow talisman flew out and illuminated the carriage, and I was ultimately unharmed."

"I never thought there really are immortals in this world. Ah Wang, do you still have any magic talismans?"

Xin Jiwang looked at the woman who threw herself into his arms and said, "Qier, you said that woman wanted to kill me, but did she..."

"Awang, you still don't believe me?" Bai Heqi's face was full of grievance, with tears in her eyes, and she buried her head in the man's arms.

Xing Jiwang turned his head away, unmoved, allowing the woman to hug him, with the left corner of his mouth slightly curled downwards. How could he trust someone who even betrayed her own relatives?

Besides, Bai Heqi’s body had long been impure. Even if she were still alive, she would be doomed to be punished by God and suffer bad luck in this life.

He looked directly at Bai Heqi and said, "Qier, I had a dream. I dreamed that I offended an immortal who I shouldn't have offended, and I will have bad luck all my life. Do you think this is true?"

After hearing what Xing Jiwang said, Bai Heqi's heart skipped a beat. He saw the other party's body suddenly move. The next second, the wall behind him collapsed and the two of them were almost crushed.

However, an incredible scene happened before her eyes. A blue pearl flew out from Xing Jiwang's wrist, shining with silver light, and the collapsed wall actually stood up straight again.

Then, the pearl turned into silver light and drifted away in the wind.

"Awang, this..."

"Damn it, it's gone, it's all gone!" Xing Jiwang suddenly roared.
