Qianxin Palace—
Helian Qi stared expressionlessly at the two memorials laid out before him.
One was a war report from the Southwest, announcing the defeat and death of the Marquis of Weiyong and his sons.
The other was a memorial from the Wei family requesting the court to bestow the title of Marquis Weiyong upon his younger brother.
“Your Majesty, Ying Meiren pays her respects.” Wang Degui hurried in to report.
Helian Qi looked away from the memorials, his expression unreadable, and said, “Let her in.”
“This concubine greets Your Majesty. This is a new snack I made, called Crispy Snow Puff. Please try it!” Wei Yingya excitedly presented the pastry.
Helian Qi handed the Southwest war report to Wang Degui.
“Give it to Ying Meiren.”
Wei Yingya’s eyes widened.
What? He wants me to read memorials?
Have I finally embarked on the path of political intrigue and strategic advice, a definite requirement for time-traveling female leads?
In that instant, Wei Yingya quickly reviewed the high school history knowledge in her mind, but she wasn’t sure if her fragmented historical knowledge could offer the Emperor any amazing national policies like a female lead in a novel.
Letting a female college student govern the country—wasn’t that a bit too much?
Wei Yingya opened the memorial with mixed feelings, and seeing the words ‘military intelligence’, her vision went black.
Ancient warfare?
She had never fought a war.
Could she handle it by memorizing a few strategies?
Wei Yingya’s mind raced through the Empty City Stratagem, Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats, and Feinting to the East While Attacking in the West, as her gaze continued downwards.
“…Marquis Weiyong, Wei Chi, the Valiant Warrior, has died in battle…”
Wait, isn’t that her father?
Wei Yingya stared wide-eyed as she continued reading. In this battle, the Marquis of Weiyong suffered a defeat, and he and his three sons all perished in the fighting…
The original owner’s father and brothers were all gone…
Wei Yingya had no feelings for these family members she had never met, but considering that she was a daughter of the Wei family, she rolled her eyes and pretended to faint on the spot, falling straight down.
“Your Majesty, Ying Meiren has fainted from excessive grief…” Wang Degui said sympathetically.
“Send her back and summon the imperial physician.” Helian Qi waved his hand.
Wei Yingya was carried back.
Helian Qi wrote the approval in vermilion on the memorial requesting the conferment of a noble title.
Wei Yingya pleased him so much that he gave the Wei family a chance a few days ago.
But Wei Chi did not accept the Emperor’s offer.
He continued to waver between the Xue and Cen families, a fence-sitter, always switching sides.
Ultimately…
He brought this upon himself.
As for Wei Yingya, she was talented and witty, but like her father, she was greedy and foolish.
She wanted the Emperor’s favor, yet dared not offend the two dukes.
It was a pity that she had such great talent.
…
Wei Yingya didn’t dare to open her eyes until midnight in Haitang Residence.
The imperial physician examined her but couldn’t find anything wrong with her. He could only say that she had fainted due to excessive fear.
“Master, you’re finally awake… The Marquis and the young masters…” Qiu Kui stayed by Wei Yingya’s bedside, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
Wei Yingya couldn’t cry. She pretended to be stunned, her gaze blank and her expression dazed. “Father… Brothers…”
“Master, please drink the calming medicine quickly. You mustn’t be too sad…” Qiu Kui said hastily.
Wei Yingya drank a bowl of herbal medicine and fell into a deep sleep.
In her hazy sleep in the middle of the night, she heard Qiu Kui talking to a palace maid.
“Your Highness is so grieving, yet she cannot burn paper money for the Marquis and the young masters to show her filial piety. Your Highness must feel extremely guilty… Sister Qiu Kui, I have an older brother who works in the Imperial Household Department. He can secretly bring some paper money in for Your Highness…”
Qiu Kui was momentarily at a loss: “If this is discovered, then we’re all doomed…”
“No one will find out. We’ll burn it secretly in the middle of the night. Who would know…” The palace maid said.
