Chapter 499: Chapter 458: Empress Dowager: You’re Such a Spineless Emperor

"Stop talking nonsense with me!"

Wei Huo looked at the person who stood up and said, "I called you here this time for something important, very important!"

"Old man, if there’s something you need, just say the word!"

"We’ve been waiting for this!"

"Heh heh, is it finally our turn to step into action?"

This person was full of excitement, showing not the slightest caution or prudence expected in the face of important matters.

But if you think he’s someone unreliable in handling affairs because of this, then you’re gravely mistaken.

Wei Yi!

Is the name of this person.

Or to be precise, this is his code name.

This group of people were all orphans, true orphans.

They were not people of Daxia, but came from Great Yin or Beili.

It was Wei Huo who arranged for them to be brought to Daxia and trained them.

If it were other noble families, nine out of ten would train them as death soldiers, but the Wei Family did not.

They studied literature and practiced martial arts from a young age, and when they had achieved proficiency, they had two choices.

The first choice was that the Wei Family would give them official Daxia household registration, whether they wanted to join the military, enter politics, engage in business, or even farm, it was all up to them.

Once they made this choice, the Wei Family would not ask them to do anything anymore.

The second choice was to enter the Hidden Lineage of the Wei Family, existing as secret operatives, responsible for some of the Wei Family’s industries, and managing affairs that couldn’t be exposed.

No matter which choice they made, it was their freedom.

Of course, those who chose to enter the Hidden Lineage, if they wished to withdraw midway, could do so as well.

The Wei Family did not impose strict requirements on this.

Wei Yi was the leader of these Hidden Lineage agents.

However, aside from members of the Wei Family, no one knew what choices they had made.

In this way, even if they met on the street, they might recognize each other, but generally would not have much interaction. Since they didn’t know what choice the other had made, to avoid causing trouble for each other, it was better to keep contact to a minimum.

If contact was made due to business dealings, naturally that was another matter.

"Old man, say something, will you?"

Wei Yi waited for quite a while, seeing that Wei Huo didn’t continue speaking, he couldn’t help urging.

Wei Huo stared into Wei Yi’s eyes, sighed, and said, "I am planning to arrange for you all to go to the Hanhai Desert to open up a retreat route for our Wei Family."

"Old man, are you going to arm wrestle with the Emperor?"

Wei Yi instantly understood the old man’s intention.

"That’s not the way to put it!"

Wei Huo was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I merely want to seek justice from the Emperor!"

This justice, no one else was suitable to seek, only he was!

To know, Wei Wushang had been engaged three times before.

Three exquisite little girls, either chosen by Wei Dingjiang and the Eldest Princess, or by Wei Huo, and the families of these three little girls had close ties with the Wei Family.

Originally, if it hadn’t been for their connection to Wei Wushang, they would have grown up safe and sound, perhaps already married with children and living a happy life.

But because of the Empress Dowager’s selfish desires, these three innocent little girls were harmed.

Their parents didn’t even know their daughters were killed; they only thought Wei Wushang’s fate was too strong and unfavorable for wives.

Because of their relationship with the Wei Family, they did not blame Wei Wushang, only lamenting that their daughters lacked solid fate and fortune.

Every time the old man thought of these things over the years, he felt he owed those families.

But who would’ve thought, all this was secretly schemed and plotted by the Empress Dowager?

On the surface, the Empress Dowager was very loving towards the Eldest Princess, and even more so to Wei Wushang, her grandson, but in her heart, she wished she could have him killed, her own blood grandchild.

Her heart was too vicious!

When Wei Huo explained the whole context of the matter to Wei Yi, Wei Yi was furious.

"Old man, you are doing the right thing about this. Don’t hold back!"

"Damn it, my grandnephew was almost cut off by this old witch!"

"The Emperor is no good either!"

"With such a malicious mother, he still wants to protect her!"

"Damn it, you might be filial, but using other children’s lives to fulfill your filial piety, why?"

"Old man, with this matter, I support you!"

Wei Yi was truly indignant.

Wei Wushang could be said to have been watched growing up by him. Although he seemed invisible in the Wei Family, he had once been a bookboy companion to Wei Dingjiang.
