Chapter 439 Murdering Her Husband
"As the first ruler of Qingwu Kingdom, I would like to propose a toast to you all!"
Everyone watched as Wu Weiwei picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's your turn!"
Although the people in the audience were intimidated by Wu Weiwei's assertive speech, they were still not entirely satisfied with this new leader who had swept in from the sidelines.
Seeing that these people still hadn't made a move.
Wu Weiwei smiled, and just as she was preparing for her next move, Qingzhu suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist, and his demeanor changed instantly.
"What? You don't want to accept the new leader's offer of wine?"
Everyone watched as Qingzhu, who had just been as gentle and refined as a noble young master, suddenly changed his demeanor, his face turning ashen.
"Zhou Chengyi? You have a problem with the new leader?"
Qingzhu coldly glanced at the Minister of Baiyun.
His voice was the loudest just now; it seems he's very dissatisfied with Weiwei as the new leader.
"No, of course not, I... I just didn't realize it..."
Zhou Chengyi, whose eyes were fixed on Qingzhu like an eagle, trembled as he picked up the cup in his hand and drank it all in one gulp with trembling lips!
Seeing him drink it, Qingzhu's sharp gaze swept over the people below the stage.
Then these people picked up their glasses, raised them, and swallowed the wine in large gulps.
"Cough cough..."
Someone drank too quickly and choked.
Qingzhu snorted coldly at these people's tact.
"Since everyone agrees, our Qingwu Alliance will officially change its name to Qingwu Kingdom today, with the national title of Yuan, and Wei'er will be the first monarch of Qingwu Kingdom!"
After Qingzhu finished speaking, she looked at Wu Weiwei and said gently, "Wei'er, do you think this is feasible?"
Seeing these people's angry but silent expressions, Wu Weiwei couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Indeed, to establish a country, it is not enough to have a name without prestige.
It seems she has a long road ahead of her!
Wu Weiwei and Qingzhu exchanged glances, then Wu Weiwei smiled and said, "Let's do as you say, Qingzhu!"
"Good! Long live the monarch! Long live Chief Qing! The Qingwu Kingdom will stand forever!"
As the two announced it, Chen Dazhuang stood up and shouted his support.
"Long live the monarch! Long live the chieftain of Qing! The Qingwu Kingdom will stand forever!"
A female leader followed suit and stepped forward, clapping her hands in support.
"Long live the monarch! Long live the chieftain of Qing! The Qingwu Kingdom will stand forever!"
"Long live the monarch! Long live the chieftain of Qing! The Qingwu Kingdom will stand forever!"
As one cheer after another rose from the crowd, the hall was filled with noise and excitement.
dining room.
"Deliver these pastries to the Hall of Longevity!"
"Manager Niu, I'm just a kitchen helper. Isn't there someone else who delivers the snacks?"
While Mulan Xue was in a daze, she heard the steward outside walk in and give her instructions.
"Just go when I tell you to, stop talking so much nonsense!"
Does Mulan Xue really think she's still a young lady?
Since you've already been ostracized to this extent, why are you still being so dramatic?
Hearing the complaints from the obese manager, Mulan Xue's face flushed red.
"Hmph! Fine, I'll go!"
She picked up the tray and walked out of the kitchen with a cold expression.
Halfway there, seeing that no one was around, she secretly turned into another secluded path.
When she came out again, she had changed her clothes.
Mulan Xue spotted Wu Weiwei standing in the crowd, radiating brilliance.
She was chatting with people with a face as beautiful as a peach blossom, and even though she was a woman, one couldn't help but be captivated by her every smile and gesture.
To do or not to do?
Such a great opportunity, if missed, who knows how long we'll have to wait?
Mulan Xue reached out with both hands to the bottom of the tray, hesitated for a moment, and then walked resolutely towards Wu Weiwei.
Having drunk a few glasses of wine, Wu Weiwei felt she couldn't hold her liquor.
Just as she was preparing to bring forward the banquet, she saw Qingzhu walking towards her from not far away.
Seeing the displeasure in his eyes, Wu Weiwei belatedly realized that Qingzhu was worried because of her conversation with several male generals.
Haha, is he jealous?
Sure enough, in the end, Qingzhu is still his little fanboy!
Just as she was about to go over and comfort her, a cook suddenly rushed towards her.
"Wu Weiwei, you'd better give me your life!"
Mulan Xue quickly drew her dagger and stabbed at Wu Weiwei.
At such close range, and given that she had been drinking, Wu Weiwei had no time to dodge.
Suddenly, a gleaming dagger came hurtling straight at him.
Her pupils suddenly widened.
She has only just gained control of her own country; is she really going to die here before she has even secured her throne?
Just when Wu Weiwei thought she was doomed, a figure appeared in front of her.
"Chief Qing!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
By the time Wu Weiwei realized what was happening, she saw Mulan Xue holding a dagger and plunging it into Qingzhu's chest.
"Brother Qingzhu, the person Xiaoxue was going to kill was... why did you take the blow for her?"
Seeing Mulan Xue's helpless expression, Qingzhu looked at Chen Dazhuang beside her.
"What are you waiting for? Lock her up in jail!"
"No, Brother Qingzhu, you can't do this! I'm your savior..."
"A savior?"
"It was precisely because you saved my life that I didn't kill you. Now it seems I was too merciful!"
Seeing the red blood gushing from Qingzhu's chest, Wu Weiwei felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She looked at Mulan Xue, who was still struggling, and said in a chilling tone, "Listen to my order, Mulan Xue's crime of attacking the emperor today is irrefutable. She will be hanged in three days!"
"No, Wu Weiwei, you vicious woman, you can't do this to me!"
After realizing what had happened, Mulan Xue cried out in fear.
"What are you waiting for? Do as the monarch commands!"
Feeling Wu Weiwei's hand on her chest, Qingzhu no longer hesitated.
"No, Brother Qingzhu, spare me! I was wrong, I'll never do it again..."
Seeing Mulan Xue being forcibly dragged away, the crowd was in an uproar, speculating about the relationship between the three.
……
"Dr. Chen, how is Qingzhu?"
"Your Majesty, General Qing is truly fortunate amidst misfortune this time!"
When I just removed the dagger, I realized it was only a hair's breadth from my heart. If it had truly struck a vital spot, Chief Qing would probably be in serious trouble now…”
Hearing the doctor's words, Wu Weiwei broke out in a cold sweat.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you to treat General Qing's illness!"
"Very well, then this old man will go and get some medicine for the general's wounds!"
After the doctor left, Wu Weiwei looked at the pale, bloodless person on the bed with a reproachful expression.
"Qingzhu, you must never do that again!"
If he hadn't shielded me, I wouldn't have almost lost my life.
"Weiwei, it's fortunate that it was me today. If that dagger had stabbed you, I would have felt uneasy!"
Qingzhu patted her head and smiled weakly.
"You really think I can't dodge? You need to take a knife for me!"
"Of course I knew you'd try to dodge, Weiwei, but I'm not worried that you'll be too stupid to avoid it..."
Both of them knew in their hearts that Wu Weiwei had no way to avoid Mulan Xue's stab today.
"You're the silly one!"
Wu Weiwei punched him in anger, and then Qingzhu groaned as he clutched his injured stomach.
"Hey, Qingzhu, are you alright? I... I didn't mean to!"
Wu Weiwei leaned towards him with concern.
Qingzhu looked up.
He looked at Wu Weiwei with a wronged expression.
"Weiwei, you're murdering your husband..."
