Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

”Proceed to the Grand General’s Mansion,” Emperor Wu of Han said.

”Your Majesty, lunch has already been prepared, you should eat something,” the eunuch said with concern.

”Forget it, the Grand General is in critical condition, I have no appetite. We’ll talk about it after he recovers,” Emperor Wu of Han said, waving his hand.

It’s undeniable that the relationship between Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing was truly excellent, surpassing that of a ruler and subject.

”The Emperor is going to the Grand General’s Mansion, quickly send someone to inform them to welcome the royal presence,” the eunuch said to a soldier who was about to be executed.

”Yes, I’ll go report immediately,” the soldier hurriedly replied.

Even though he wasn’t afraid of death, no one wants to die. He felt there was nothing to plead for, and now relieved not to be executed, the soldier was extremely happy in his heart.

After the soldier left, Emperor Wu of Han, accompanied by ministers, headed towards the General’s Mansion, with Ye Chen following behind.

Arriving at the entrance of the General’s Mansion, the General’s Wife, the Imperial Physicians, and the servants were already standing at the door to welcome them.

Ye Chen looked at the grandeur of the General’s Mansion and couldn’t help but admire internally. Wei Qing had achieved unmatched glory, yet with numerous honors came greater responsibilities. Constantly armed and leading troops into battle led to his body being in a prolonged state of overload.

Emperor Wu of Han disregarded all these formalities. Seeing those kneeling before him, he merely nodded slightly and hurriedly walked towards Wei Qing’s resting place.

Of course, a crowd followed behind him.

Emperor Wu of Han’s steps were very swift, and those behind him almost ran to keep up.

Arriving at Wei Qing’s resting place, seeing the Grand General lying pale on the bed, Emperor Wu of Han’s heart sank.

He had never seen Wei Qing in such a state before, and his heart ached even more for this man.

”Wei Qing, I command you to wake up immediately,” Emperor Wu of Han said with a choked voice.

”Your Majesty, the Grand General doesn’t have much time left,” Wei Qing’s wife said, crying.

”Impossible, absolutely impossible. I remember he promised me he’d return safely and let me host a celebration for him,” Emperor Wu of Han shouted, as if struck by a blow.

”Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The Grand General’s injuries this time are too severe; old and new ailments combined are overwhelming his body,” an Imperial Physician hurriedly advised.

Everyone knew well the relationship between Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing, especially since Wei Qing’s sister, Wei Zifu, was the Empress.

Ye Chen felt this emperor was truly affectionate and righteous; he knew Emperor Wu of Han’s display was genuine emotion without any pretense.

”Your Majesty, please forgive me for not welcoming you personally,” Wei Qing said softly, struggling to open his eyes and seeing Emperor Wu of Han standing before him.

”There is no guilt in you; you have achieved military exploits, seven battles seven victories. I still have to celebrate for you,” Emperor Wu of Han said, waving his hand.

”Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I know my days are numbered, but I have a few words to say to you,” Wei Qing said weakly.

”Alright, speak slowly, I am listening,” Emperor Wu of Han said, enduring the pain in his heart.

”I hope that after I’m gone, you will treat my sister well, no matter what mistakes she makes, please forgive her,” Wei Qing struggled to voice, word by word.

Witnessing this, the surrounding people were moved, for at the brink of death, Wei Qing thought only of his sister.

Ye Chen was also moved, feeling Wei Zifu was truly fortunate—her brother Wei Qing exchanged his military achievements for her lifelong security.

”I promise you, I promise you everything, as long as you can recover,” Emperor Wu of Han said to Wei Qing.

”No, I won’t recover; I know my own body,” Wei Qing said with a bitter smile, waving his hand.

Suddenly a voice interrupted: ”Who said you won’t recover.”

The crowd turned towards the voice, seeing Ye Chen standing there.

With the Emperor present, no one dared speak unless addressed. But this young man was unbelievably bold; without being addressed by Emperor Wu of Han, he spoke, which was a crime punishable by death.

”Oh right, Wei Qing, I forgot to tell you, I have an expert here, named Ye Chen, who claims he can cure your illness,” Emperor Wu of Han suddenly smiled.

Then, turning to Ye Chen, he said: ”Ye Chen, quickly come over and treat General Wei.”

Everyone thought Emperor Wu of Han’s attitude towards this Ye Chen was unusual; they originally expected Ye Chen might lose his head today, yet unexpectedly, Emperor Wu of Han treated him so politely.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen walked towards Wei Qing.

At this moment, Wei Qing finally saw clearly Ye Chen’s appearance and attire, and he too showed a surprised expression.

”Your Majesty, is he the expert you mentioned?” Wei Qing asked, trembling, pointing at Ye Chen.

”Yes, this is the expert I mentioned, his name is Ye Chen,” Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said.

”Greetings, General Wei,” Ye Chen said, smiling as he greeted Wei Qing.

”Ye Chen, I will trouble you,” Wei Qing nodded and said.

He looked at the young Ye Chen before him, thinking, even the elderly Imperial Physicians couldn’t heal him, so what could this young man do?

Though Wei Qing inwardly doubted Ye Chen’s ability to heal his wounds, for Emperor Wu of Han’s sake, he agreed to let Ye Chen try.

”Alright, have all irrelevant people leave; I dislike having anyone around during treatment,” Ye Chen said blandly.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room felt Ye Chen couldn’t heal Wei Qing, that he was simply acting mysteriously.

”All of you do as Ye Chen says, hurry and withdraw,” Emperor Wu of Han waved to the people behind him.

Upon hearing Emperor Wu of Han’s words, the crowd didn’t hesitate and quickly withdrew.

”Alright, everyone’s left; you can begin treating the Grand General now,” Emperor Wu of Han said to Ye Chen.

”Your Majesty, I request you to leave as well,” Ye Chen said calmly.

”What do you mean by that?” Emperor Wu of Han asked with displeasure.

I already said I don’t want anyone around, it would affect my treatment, unless you don’t want the Grand General to recover,” Ye Chen replied unflinchingly to Emperor Wu of Han.

This attitude shocked the bedridden Wei Qing.

There was never anyone daring enough to be so arrogant in the presence of Emperor Wu of Han, unless they didn’t want to live.

Emperor Wu of Han glanced at Ye Chen without speaking, thinking, if you fail to heal the Grand General, I’ll see how you’ll be punished.

”Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as you cooperate with me, I assure you I can cure the Grand General. Otherwise, I’ll accept penalty,” Ye Chen pledged confidently.

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han said nothing more, he simply looked at Wei Qing and said, ”I will be waiting for you outside.”

Finishing his sentence, he turned and left the room, wearing a displeased expression.
