Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

So the idea was to persuade her to voluntarily die for an unwarranted and deliberate insult?

Wei Bingyan smiled and said, "I have never lost my virginity."

"No one would think so. Li Yuyan has now become a laughing stock in the capital," said the emperor.

"So, Your Majesty, do you want me to help your husband maintain his reputation with generosity and die with this incomprehensible insult?" Wei Bingyan asked.

The emperor said: "If you still have feelings for Li Yuyan, what's wrong with dying for him?"

Wei Bingyan chuckled, "Don't say that I haven't lost my virginity. Even if I have, I am not ready to die. I have heard that Your Majesty is kind and generous in ruling the world, but I didn't expect that you would not even let go of an innocent and weak woman. If I am not dead, Your Majesty, do you think it is necessary to let Li Yuyan divorce me?"

"How dare you! I'm doing this for everyone's good. Do you want to see Li Yuyan being dragged down by you?" the emperor said angrily.

"You can ask me to die or divorce me, it's up to Li Yuyan to decide. Your Majesty, you are the emperor and have a lot of things to do. Why do you care about the lives of commoners like me?" Wei Bingyan said.

The emperor was so angry that he wanted to burn the sky, "What a powerful woman."

"I don't have the courage, but I don't want to die in confusion." Wei Bingyan said.

"Someone come here!" the emperor shouted wildly.

A young palace maid outside just responded, "Your Majesty, the old master of the Wei family is requesting a meeting outside the palace."

"No." The emperor shouted. How could he meet Old Master Wei at this time?

The young palace maid was startled and stammered, "The old master of the Wei family said that if you didn't want to see your majesty, he would go in on his own."

The emperor's face turned pale, and he was stoic with anger, "Call him over."

As he spoke, the emperor glanced at Wei Bingyan coldly.

Old Master Wei walked in and bowed in a very proper manner. If it were any other day, the emperor would have allowed him to sit down before he even bowed. But today, he looked at this old man, who walked unsteadily, with a gloomy face as he bowed, and only let him stand up after a while.

"Teacher, you are increasingly disregarding me," said the emperor.

"This old minister is shocked. Your Majesty is always in this old minister's heart." Old Master Wei said this with shock, but there was no shock expression on his face.

"What do you want to say?" the emperor asked coldly.

Old Master Wei looked at Wei Bingyan, then at the emperor, "This old minister would also like to ask Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

"How dare you!" The emperor was furious. No one had ever dared to question fiercely what he was going to do.

"I don't have the courage to do that." Old Master Wei said calmly.

The emperor stood up and pointed at him with a trembling finger, "Is it because I killed a little granddaughter like you today that your Wei family is also going to rebel against me?"

"Why does Your Majesty want to kill the granddaughter of this old minister? But she has committed heinous crimes, such as murder and arson, or colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. Your Majesty must have a reason to kill her." Old Master Wei asked in return without being moved.

"She lost her virginity... and colluded with the Rongdi people." The emperor opened his mouth, but couldn't continue.

Which law stipulates that a woman who loses her virginity must be put to death? Even if she is to be put to death, it is not the right of an emperor like him to kill her directly.

Old Master Wei quickly asked, "You are going to kill the minister's relatives just because of the nonsense of a Rongdi man. Your actions are too chilling. Moreover, collusion requires definite evidence."

The emperor was furious and said, "Whoever I want to die must die."

Old Master Wei looked at him helplessly, “Long live, you are too old.”

When you get older, you should let things take their own course and give up your position.

"You... don't think that just because you are my teacher, I don't have the courage to do anything to you." The emperor was furious. He was most averse to others talking about his age.

"I have always been loyal to Your Majesty, and the Wei family has never had any other thoughts towards the Tang Dynasty. I hope Your Majesty will let Bingyan go completely for the sake of the Wei family's years of loyalty and protection." Old Master Wei said. He did not want to fall out with Your Majesty unless he had no other choice.

The emperor asked, "What if I don't agree?"

Old Master Wei sighed, "Your Majesty, do you hope that I will ask my youngest son to come back and beg you in person?"

Let Wei Dongbi come back? The emperor's face turned pale and green. The old man from the Wei family was threatening him! "Do you dare to rebel against me, Wei family?"

"I just hope that Your Majesty is aware that my Wei family's loyalty is known to the Tang Dynasty, not to any particular person." Old Master Wei said in a domineering manner.

The emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The emperor really wanted to issue an order immediately to kill such a person around him, but he didn't have the courage.

Yes, he didn't have the courage.

Since he didn't know how much power the Wei family had in the Tang Dynasty, the Wei family was different from the Li family and the Linghu family. For many years, the Wei family had always appeared weak and its true ability was completely unknown. But one thing was certain, the most important foundation of the Wei family was definitely not something he could easily overthrow.

"Wei Zuzhan, don't think that just because you are my teacher, I don't have the courage to do anything to you." The emperor didn't want to be threatened, and looked at Old Master Wei fiercely with a dark face.

Old Master Wei still maintained a neither arrogant nor humble attitude, "If the emperor wants his subjects to die, I don't have the courage to complain, but..." He looked directly at the emperor, "Death must have a reason."

"Get out of here!" The emperor was furious. This was a threat! It was definitely a threat! But he had no choice but to face up to such a threat.

"I, your humble servant, take my leave." Old Master Wei glanced at Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan bowed her head and said, "I'm leaving now."

The grandfather and grandson retreated from Ganlu Hall one after the other. Wei Bingyan breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to hold Old Master Wei's hand. "Grandpa?"

"Leave the palace." Old Master Wei patted her on the back, signaling her not to panic.

Outside the palace, Uncle Hai was waiting for them in a carriage.

Wei Bingyan followed the old man into the carriage and said, "Grandpa, you offended His Majesty today. If..." She didn't want to drag down the Wei and Li families because of her own affairs.

"Your Majesty is old, so there is no need to worry." Old Master Wei said, "It is impossible to uproot the Wei family while he is alive. Since there is no way to uproot the Wei family, he can only bear it."

That's right. There is no way to uproot the Wei family, so it's better not to take risks, otherwise the Wei family will retaliate violently at any time. The emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and he has no time to come back again.

As for Old Master Wei, although he is about to die, Wei Dongbi is still somewhere unknown.

The emperor didn't want Wei Dongbi to return to the capital even more.

Wei Bingyan personally sent the old man back to the Wei family, but Mrs. Li was already waiting for her there.
