Chapter 116 Finale (Part 2)

Jiang Wanning gave him a big smack, interrupting his barking.

Dog Emperor, I’ve wanted to slap him for a long time!

Finally, it hit me.

Not to mention, the emperor's face really looks different when he's hit.

It’s so satisfying and satisfying, you can’t get enough of it in one go and want to do it a few more times!

"What kind of hen is this? What kind of hen is this? What kind of hen is this?

You're the only one who knows how to use idioms. That makes you stand out, doesn't it? If you can't speak, then don't speak. Who are you scolding by saying such harsh words?

You are a tyrant who can't even keep the throne, and you still have the nerve to talk about the signs of the country's demise.

What a joke! If this country were handed over to you, it would be doomed!"

In the original text.

The Dog Emperor is indeed the king who destroyed his country.

Although a large part of the reason was that he was short-lived and childless, the reason why Prince Ruyang was able to successfully usurp the throne was ultimately due to his stupidity and narrow-mindedness.

In any case, he cannot be called a wise king or a benevolent ruler.

Now that he has kicked him off the throne, Jiang Wanning feels that he is doing justice for the heavens!

The emperor was already weak and hadn't eaten for two days, making him even more dizzy. The slap from Jiang made his head buzz and he almost fell off the bed.

It took him a long while to recover.

The originally pale face turned bloodless and turned into the color of liver due to great anger.

"Bitch, you dare to hit me?! I will kill your entire clan!"

“Bang!”

Jiang Wanning slapped him again.

I think the palm print looks better if it is symmetrical.

"Try to say something crazy again?"

The emperor raised his head tremblingly and looked at Jiang Wanning's raised arm. He didn't know when a five-finger-wide bamboo board appeared in his hand.

The curse that was about to come out of his mouth was swallowed back.

Now he finally understood why Marquis Pingyang was henpecked.

The slap from this evil woman on the face really hurts!

Previously, he had found it hilarious to see her scolding her son... But now, he only regretted not having thrown this rebellious woman into jail sooner, to let her be tortured every day!

"Ahem, ahem... Yang Rong! Protect the emperor... This woman wants to regicide, she wants to kill me..."

In a fit of rage, the emperor coughed violently for a long time.

Then he grabbed the edge of the bed and sat up straight, calling out Eunuch Yang repeatedly, pointing at Jiang Wanning with resentment!

Seeing this, Eunuch Yang had no choice but to step forward with an embarrassed look on his face.

Persuaded Jiang Wanning.

"Madam, please take it easy... His Majesty only has one breath left. If he doesn't survive, who will write the will?"

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at Eunuch Yang in astonishment.

"Yang Rong, are you rebelling too?!"

Eunuch Yang sighed.

Comforting.

"Your Majesty, I am doing this for your own good... You said you have one foot in the coffin, why are you still arguing with the Princess and the Marquis's wife?

You wrote this edict and passed the throne to the eldest princess. The eldest princess will still remember your kindness and let you live out your life in peace and contentment.

Otherwise, you will starve to death.

How miserable!

This servant really can't bear to watch it!"

"puff."

The emperor couldn't help but spit out blood in anger.

Eunuch Yang glanced at Jiang Wanning and got her permission before he hurriedly shouted outside.

"Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician!"

soon.

The imperial physician who was guarding outside hurried in, first took the emperor's pulse and examined his condition, then took out a pill and asked the palace maid to pour water and feed it to the emperor.

The emperor then breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Wanning didn't have the patience to waste time with him, so he asked the princess to give the order directly.

"Come, carry His Majesty to Xuanzheng Hall and summon all officials above the fifth rank in the capital. His Majesty has a decree to issue!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Because of Prince Ruyang's rebellion, Shen Yan, under the pretext of "clearing the court", purged the entire palace and even the imperial guards with the tacit approval of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, and replaced them with his own trusted generals.

Although the emperor secretly cultivated a group of loyal secret guards, most of them died or were injured in the rebellion that night, and the remaining small group was also taken away by Lu Yao.

There is no one available around the emperor now.

The people in the palace were used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. When they saw that His Majesty was under house arrest, they knew that his situation was hopeless. Naturally, they respected the eldest princess and obeyed her orders.

“You…you guys…”

In just a few days, his majesty as an emperor had disappeared.

Seeing that no one took him seriously, the emperor rolled his eyes and almost died again.

But my eyes haven't closed yet.

Concubine Li pinched his philtrum hard.

"Don't faint!"

…

Two hours later.

By the time the emperor was helped to sit in the hall, the hall was already full of ministers.

The eldest princess moved a chair and sat on the left side of the emperor, while Mrs. Jiang, the wife of Marquis Pingyang, stood on the right side of the desk with a kind face and a bamboo board in her hand.

The ministers couldn't help but look at each other, obviously feeling that the two of them were behaving against etiquette, and their faces were filled with dissatisfaction!

But when he turned around, he saw Pingyang Hou wearing armor and carrying a sword entering the palace.

They could only swallow their saliva and swallow their dissatisfaction back into their stomachs.

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, the eldest princess spoke first.

He said loudly.

"Call the Imperial Hospital, and Envoy Zhao to the palace!"

Eunuch Yang then spread her words in a higher tone.

Soon, Doctor Zhao hurried into the hall with a cold sweat on his face amid the suspicious gazes and whispers of the ministers, and then knelt down in front of the emperor.

I apologize.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and asked back.

"Doctor Zhao, what crime have you committed?!"

Doctor Zhao lowered his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and said tremblingly.

"As the Director of the Imperial Hospital, I failed to truthfully report the facts to Your Majesty, and I have committed the grave crime of deceiving the emperor... But, but I dare not speak the truth!"

Nangong Jing, as the head of the civil officials, stood at the forefront.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but look puzzled and asked urgently.

"If it's the truth, why not tell it? Do you think Your Majesty is a foolish ruler who cannot hear the truth and only listens to slander?"

"cough……"

The emperor coughed, feeling that Nangong Jing's words were directed at him.

But he was unwilling to believe that even Jing Xiang had rebelled.

Then he said in a deep voice.

"What truth or lies... Doctor Zhao, you're hesitating, what exactly do you want to say?!"

Doctor Zhao still didn't dare to look up. He hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and spoke frankly as if he was going to risk it.

"Your Majesty... your dragon body is naturally eunuch... That's why it's so difficult for ladies to get pregnant. Even if they do get pregnant, the dragon fetus cannot be preserved..."

"What did you say?! Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face suddenly turned pale and he started coughing in anger.

All the ministers lowered their heads in unison.

Is this something they can listen to?

No... Can I say this in public?

Your Majesty, doesn't he have any face?

After catching his breath, the emperor became furious and grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it hard at Doctor Zhao!

"How dare you speak nonsense and humiliate me! Who ordered you to say such nonsense?!"

Doctor Zhao didn't dare to hide.

But fortunately the emperor was so angry that his aim was not very accurate and he missed.

He immediately fell to the ground, his shoulders shaking like a sieve.

"Your Majesty... every word I say is true. If I lie even a single word, you will execute my entire clan, and I accept the punishment! If you don't believe me, you can summon the entire Imperial Hospital, or seek out renowned doctors from outside the palace... They would be equally helpless. It's impossible for a childless person to give birth to a child..."

The emperor was so angry that he wanted to hit him with something again.

"Quack... shut up!"

Eunuch Yang quickly stepped forward and held his hand.

"Hey, Your Majesty! This is the imperial seal... You can't use it..."

The emperor could only turn around and scold.

"Someone, come! Drag this quack out and behead him!"

"Your Majesty, please wait—"

Since Xie Qingyuan took over the position of the Imperial Master, because of his outstanding talents, in addition to refining pills for the emperor on a daily basis, he would also attend court meetings to answer questions and offer suggestions.

He was usually aloof and arrogant, always keeping to himself. Except when the emperor asked him questions or summoned him, he hardly spoke to anyone.

Therefore, the emperor trusted him very much, and even though the officials disliked him, they rarely questioned his words.

Seeing the emperor was furious, Xie Qingyuan took a step forward.

He said something.

"In my humble opinion, Imperial Physician Zhao's words are not without reason. I venture to predict, even on the day we met Your Majesty, that... Your Majesty is destined to be childless."

Ministers: Oh no, double kill!

Both medical theory and fortune-telling have determined that the emperor has no heir, which is basically a death sentence!

The emperor suddenly stumbled again and fell back onto the dragon throne.

In an instant, I felt my heart sink to the bottom, as if falling into an abyss or a cold pond, as if I was trapped in endless despair.

After a long while, he muttered to himself, refusing to accept such bad news.

"No... No way... You must be lying to me! You, you are all in the same group... If not, why didn't you tell me earlier, but only today?!"

Jiang Wanning said quietly.

"What's so strange about this? It's because Your Majesty cannot bear to hear the truth. Even if they told you, you wouldn't believe it. It would only lead to unnecessary disaster... If it were me, I wouldn't tell either."

Although they are indeed in the same group.

But it's also true.

Didn't lie to him.

The emperor actually believed it in his heart. After all, the facts were before his eyes. After so many years, not only was there no prince, but even no princess had been born.

But how could he admit that it was his problem?

He turned and angrily scolded Jiang Wanning.

"How can you have any say in the court? Come, take this lowly—"

“Bang!”

Jiang Wanning swung his bamboo cudgel and mercilessly struck out in front of all the civil and military officials.

It looks like killing the monkey to scare the chickens!

"So what if I speak up today?

Not only do I want to speak up, I also want to speak up on behalf of the late emperor and the late empress, and give you, my unfilial son, a good warning!

Because of your stupidity and incompetence, the court is in turmoil, the country is unstable, foreign invasions are endless, and internal troubles are piling up... I'm afraid it won't be long before the Li Dynasty will be destroyed in your hands!

Back then, during the rebellion of Prince Xiling, your mother died in an area covered in blood in order to protect the bloodline of the late emperor!

In order to protect you, the Queen Mother pushed the eldest princess out to be your scapegoat!

How many people in this imperial city have died for you?

But you, for your own selfish desires, have disregarded the legacy of your ancestors and the people of the world. How can you be worthy of your ancestors and those loyal and righteous men who died for you?!

You have to read this confession of repentance today even if you don’t want to!

Because your virtue is unworthy of your position, you are not fit to be the ruler of a country, the master of all people!"

Said.

Jiang Wanning turned around again and slammed the table with a bamboo board.

Pointing at the imperial edict placed above, he urged the emperor.

"read!"

The eldest princess then stood up and moved closer to the emperor, with the dagger in her sleeve firmly against the emperor's waist.

Whispered.

"Royal brother, the elixir you consumed is useless... If you were to take it easy, cultivate your character, you might be able to live a few more years. Of course, if you wish to die today, I can also grant your wish by chopping off your head and hanging it on the city wall to accompany your uncle."

As he spoke, the dagger was already covered in blood.

The emperor was afraid of death after all.

No matter how unwilling I am, I don't want to die so miserably and has my body trampled upon.

He was born into a life of luxury, how could he become a headless corpse?

Seeing that there was no hope of seizing power, the emperor had no choice but to pick up the edict of repentance on the table with trembling hands, and read the edict that had been drafted long ago with a deathly pale face.

“…I cannot forgive myself for these ten sins.

Now he abdicates and makes way for a wise man, and enthrones Li Rui, the grandson of Prince Jing of the imperial clan, as the new king.

Order the eldest princess, Li Rongqing, to act as regent!"

Jiang Wanning asked Eunuch Yang to draft this edict after consulting the Queen Mother and Nangong Jing.

Although her plan was to make the eldest princess the empress, she couldn't become fat in one bite.

As the external threat has not yet been eliminated, we must proceed with caution.

After all, Li Rui is only two years old. Five years is enough time for the princess to reshuffle the court!

But even so, when the emperor heard that he wanted the eldest princess to be regent, some old ministers strongly opposed it and stood up to make a final appeal.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!

Women's interference in politics has always been a source of trouble. If the eldest princess is allowed to serve as regent, it will definitely shake the foundation of the country.

I cannot bear to see the government crumble, and I now plead with Your Majesty to revoke your order, even at the risk of my own life."

In an instant.

Most of the ministers knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty, please revoke your order! Never allow women to interfere in government!"

Seeing this, the emperor suddenly felt a little happy and turned to look at Jiang Wanning.

Schadenfreude.

"This... I have already issued an edict, but the ministers refuse to obey. Should we chop them all off?"

But Jiang Wanning curled the corners of his mouth and nodded.

“Not impossible.”

Emperor: No, haha.

With his eyelids lowered, Jiang Wanning glanced coldly at the court officials who were trying their best to stop him.

Thinking about the day when Prince Ruyang rebelled, these bunch of troublemakers didn't even dare to fart.

Now we are just letting the eldest princess be the regent, but they are barking like a dog!

In that case—

"Lu Yao! See? Those people kneeling on the ground are all your achievements!"

Lu Yao's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Without thinking, he strode forward.

He drew the sword from his waist and with a "swish", he stabbed the old minister who had just threatened death as a warning to his friends with one sword!

After that, he even bowed to the other party.

"Thank you, General Gao, for promoting me!"

After saying that, he raised his sword again and walked towards the second person behind the old minister.

All the ministers were dumbfounded when they saw this. They never expected that Jiang was so cruel and killed people so quickly. Before they could react, General Gao had already died.

Seeing Lu Yao approaching them with a bloody sword in his hand, everyone quickly got up from the ground and quickly retreated.

Jiang Wanning sneered and asked.

"Who else wants to die for his loyalty? Not only can I fulfill his loyalty and bravery, but I can also make his entire family become loyal and brave!"

I know Jiang is a lunatic, and if she goes crazy, she might even kill the emperor.

The ministers dared not say a word now.

They were even a little relieved.

The eldest princess is the royal bloodline, and Marquis Pingyang did not seize power and usurp the throne... Otherwise, if one day Jiang came to power and became a female tyrant, would they still have a way to survive?

I'm afraid that she will kill all the family members!

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept letting the eldest princess be in power.

At least the eldest princess is kind-hearted and will definitely be a benevolent ruler in the future... Uh, why do I feel like something is wrong?

Seeing that all the ministers remained silent and submitted to Jiang's tyranny, the emperor suddenly felt that being slapped twice was not so embarrassing.

However, when reading the imperial edict of reward, he still found these words difficult to pronounce.

"Marquis Pingyang's wife, Jiang, has been rewarded for her service in rescuing the emperor... and is given a title..."

His cheeks were burning with pain, and the emperor could not continue reading.

He then handed the imperial edict to Eunuch Yang.

"Yang Rong, you read..."

"Okay!"

Eunuch Yang responded immediately and took it. When he met the emperor's displeased gaze, he slightly restrained his happy expression.

But he still raised his voice high and read to the civil and military officials in the court.

"Madam Jiang, the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang, has been meritorious in rescuing the emperor and is hereby granted the title of Lady Protector of the Nation! She holds the same rank as the Three Dukes and enjoys a fief of three thousand... Do you have any objections?!"

The ministers quickly shook their heads.

Looking at the shiny sword in Lu Yao's hand, no one dared to object.

…

A few days later.

In order to celebrate Chen Yan being named Duke of Loyalty and Bravery and Jiang Wanning being named Lady Protector of the Country, a grand banquet was held in the mansion.

The dignitaries who came to pay their respects almost broke down the door, and even the gifts they brought piled up into a mountain in the yard.

Compared to the bustle in the front yard.

The backyard of the house was cold, desolate and miserable.

After Mr. Shen's vitals were cut, although he survived, he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed, unable to move.

Old Madam Shen became half-crazy and half-insane.

After learning that Shen Yan was not her own son and that she had killed her own child, Old Lady Shen could hardly sleep at night.

Holding Chen Yin's spirit tablet, he cried and laughed, and from time to time he raised his hand and slapped himself hard a few times.

She naturally hated Mr. Shen.

But he won't let him die.

She took care of him personally every day, feeding him and giving him medicine, but sometimes it was stale rice and sometimes it was boiling white porridge.

Mr. Shen's tongue was burned and blistered, and he spat out the porridge in his mouth.

Old Madam Shen slapped him!

"drink!"

Mr. Shen's face was convulsed and painful, but he couldn't say a word.

I could only open my mouth and say: Aba Aba Aba.

…

midnight.

After the guests left, the mansion became much quieter.

Chen Yan didn't drink too much. He carefully selected a pair of imperial green jade bracelets and planned to give them to his wife as a gift to congratulate her.

Jiang Wanning was a little drunk, and was supported by Baojuan and returned to the house.

I had just drunk a bowl of sobering soup when I saw Shen Yan walk in.

Jiang Wanning squinted at him and said in a daze.

"My Lord, no... I should call you Lord now. It's so late... Do you have anything else to do?"

Seeing her with her rosy cheeks, she looked less fierce than she did during the day and more gentle and approachable. Shen Yan just thought she was very cute.

He walked forward and smiled.

"Just now, it was others who congratulated you, and I haven't said congratulations to you, Madam. You said earlier that you don't like gemstones, preferring jade, so I found this pair of full-color glass bracelets... I think this kind of material will definitely please Madam."

Seeing the brocade box he handed over, Jiang Wanning picked up the bracelet, took a closer look at it, and then put it on her wrist.

Obviously like it very much.

"It's really good. This must be very expensive, right?"

Seeing her happy, Shen Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had not sent the wrong thing this time.

"As long as Madam likes it, it's worth spending any amount of money."

Jiang Wanning didn't take off the bracelet, thinking it would be a waste not to take it off since they were still husband and wife.

Turning around, Jiang Wanning took a wooden box from the dressing table and handed it to Chen Yan.

Said.

"It just so happens that I have a gift for you..."

"Really? Let me see."

Chen Yan took the box and pretended to open it.

But Jiang Wanning held the back of his hand and stopped him.

"Wait, you can't look at it now, Master, take it back and look at it later."

Although Chen Yan didn't know what she was trying to say, he felt happy when he thought that this was a gift prepared by the lady for him.

As expected, the lady and he are very close.

Even if she didn't say anything, she still had him in her heart, and even thought of giving him gifts together.

"Okay, since my wife won't let me watch it, then I won't watch it for now."

Jiang Wanning yawned and said sleepily.

"I'm a little tired. Baojuan said the bed in your room has been repaired, so I won't let you sleep in the room today..."

Chen Yan: “…”

Suddenly I feel a little sad.

But it doesn't matter, he can comfort himself.

He was also a little curious about what was in the wooden box, so he did not continue to disturb Jiang Wanning's rest. He gave Baojuan a few instructions and hurriedly left the dormitory.

Watching Chen Yan disappear into the night, Baojuan shook her head and withdrew her sympathetic gaze.

He closed the door casually.

…

Return to the house.

Shen Yan brought the wooden box in his hand to the candlestick and slowly opened it.

But there was a letter inside.

For some reason, this gave him a bad feeling.

He quickly took out the letter, opened the envelope, took out the paper inside and took a look...

When Chen Yan saw the three overly familiar words written in black on a white background, he felt a "clang" in his head.

It feels like being hit on the head with a stick!

I felt like the sky was falling.

No, he gave his wife a jadeite gift, and his wife gave him a "divorce letter"?!

Is this reasonable?!

And judging from the handwriting, it was the same divorce letter that the eldest princess had written earlier and hadn't used up. The lady only signed her name and fingerprint on it, and she was too lazy to even write him a separate letter in person.

The Duke's Mansion isn't that poor, why would they have to be so frugal?!

He wanted to burn this paper!!!

At this moment, he even... understood how Shen Yutang felt when he tore up the divorce agreement with his bare hands.

But he doesn't want to experience it at all.

It was three o'clock in the morning.

Seeing that the candlelight in the master's room was still bright, Butler Sun felt somewhat worried after hearing the maid's report of something unusual.

He knocked on the door and entered the house.

I saw Shen Yan sitting in front of the table, staring blankly at a piece of paper in his hand, frowning, with an expression as if he had lost his parents.

Butler Sun couldn't help but call out in a low voice.

"Master...are you okay? What happened?"

"The sky is falling."

"?"

Shen Yan shook his head, puzzled.

"Butler, I don't understand... I don't have a concubine, I don't have a junior sister, and I don't have a lifesaver, so why does my wife want to divorce me?

Is there anything I didn’t do well?”

Hearing this, Butler Sun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

this……

Not only did the Lord's sky fall, he felt like his sky was about to fall too!

"Master, Madam's thoughts are unfathomable and have always been the most difficult to guess... Even this old servant doesn't understand! Otherwise, why don't you go and ask Madam in person tomorrow morning to clarify?"

Shen Yan put down the divorce papers in his hand, his eyes burning.

"We must get to the bottom of this!"

How can he live without his wife?

…

The next day.

After Jiang Wanning sent out the divorce letter, he woke up early in the morning and asked Baojuan to start counting things and preparing for the separation of the house.

In fact, it cannot be said that Shen Yan did anything wrong.

She simply felt that she had aged ten years after traveling through the book, which was already a disadvantage.

Finding a husband who is ten years older than you is even more of a loss!

And I heard that men start to go downhill after they are 25. The original owner couldn't remember how long it had been since they had sex, so it must be that Chen Yan was no longer able to do it.

Maybe he was injured during the battle.

In order not to put herself in a difficult position, she decided to find another man!

Butler Sun came to persuade them early.

But before he could say two words, Song Zhizhi retorted back.

"Why can't mother just get a divorce?

Now, my mother has been personally appointed as the Lady Protector of the Country by His Majesty, and enjoys a fief of three thousand yuan, and can even set up her own residence.

With such status and position, many young talents would rush to become his male concubine.

How can I not enjoy happiness if I leave this Duke's Mansion?"

Xiao Huaiyu responded from the side.

"That's right! What kind of man does mother-in-law like... delicate or handsome? I'll find one for you right away and make sure you're satisfied!"

Jiang Wanning nodded, thinking that this son-in-law was indeed good, like half a son.

Butler Sun: “…”

He may be really old and can't keep up the conversation.

Shen Yan had been up all night and looked a little haggard. He didn't want to look too disheveled, so he washed up before coming over.

As soon as I approached the yard, I heard Xiao Huaiyu say this.

His face turned black.

As he stepped into the courtyard, Shen Yan gave him a cold, murderous look.

Said in a deep tone.

"You are so capable, why don't you help Zhizhi pick a few more?"

Xiao Huaiyu was not at all flustered. He took a sip of tea and said.

"Well, the main reason is... there aren't many men in the Imperial Capital who are younger, more handsome, and stronger than me. If one day I grow old and useless, I will definitely not hinder my wife's happiness."

Chen Yan: Who is he scolding? He is scolding so rudely!

Seeing Baojuan packing up her things in the house, Chen Yan ignored Xiao Huaiyu and walked quickly forward, looking at Jiang Wanning with reluctance.

"Ma'am, you don't have to go...

The Duke's Mansion is yours, and I am yours too.

If you despise me and don't want me anymore, I will leave."

Xiao Huaiyu: "Tsk."

Oh my god, I actually smelled the scent of tea on an old man.

My father-in-law is not an ordinary person!

Jiang Wanning originally thought Shen Yan was joking, so he didn't take his words seriously.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, Chen Yan actually packed his luggage and planned to leave the Duke's Mansion.

Before leaving.

Come and say goodbye to her.

"I have already signed the divorce agreement.

Senior sister, no matter what you want to do, I will not stop you, nor will I become an obstacle for you.

During this time, I am already very happy to be your husband and wife, even if it is just in name only.

I admit that when I first approached you... I did want to defeat you at first, but later on, I couldn't take my eyes off you.

Actually, I don’t know when I fell in love with you. When I came to my senses, I seemed to be unable to control my love for you.

I know you have had some bad experiences in the past, so bad that you still can't let go of them.

But I want to tell you.

Maybe some people don’t know how to cherish you, but I... regard you as a treasure.”

Looking at Chen Yan's twinkling eyes, Jiang Wanning felt that he was about to cry, but with this face, it seemed a bit incongruous.

She didn't say a word.

She could still feel how obedient Chen Yan had been to her during this period.

It's not just talk.

But she is a bit shy, once bitten by a snake, she is afraid of ropes for ten years.

Autistic.

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Shen Yan thought she didn't believe what he said. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and took a last look at her.

He lowered his eyelids and was about to leave.

When he reached the door, Jiang Wanning called him softly.

"How about... give it a try?"

…

At night.

Jiang Wanning had drunk some wine and was a little nervous.

I'm afraid he can't do it.

Shen Yan also drank some wine and was also a little nervous, afraid that he would not be able to perform at the critical moment.

When they were slightly tipsy, their eyes were a little hazy.

Through the face in front of me, I seemed to see what the other person looked like in the past.

Chen Yan carefully held her cheek and gave her a light kiss at the corner of her eye.

"Ma'am, I am pleased with you."

…

The nineteenth year of Jingyao.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the eldest princess became regent. She promulgated new policies, promoted the imperial examination system, promoted children from poor families, established the Academy of Gewu to study the mathematics of the universe and the craftsmanship, and set up a military workshop to manufacture armor and crossbows to strengthen the country.

In the first year of Zhaorong's reign, Emperor Dongling passed away, and the orphan of the deposed crown prince was made the new emperor.

The fifth year of Zhaorong.

The eldest princess deposed the young emperor and ascended the throne.

Lady Jiang, the Protector of the Country, was specially appointed as the Master of Yining, with the same status as the Empress Dowager, and was granted a fief of ten thousand households.

In the same year, Princess Changle was made the Crown Princess.

In the seventh year of Zhaorong, the Emperor of Dongling sent 500,000 troops to fight against Southern Zhao together with our dynasty.

In the eighth year of Zhaorong's reign, Southern Zhao was destroyed.

Ye Linglong, an orphan girl of the Ye family, was granted the title of marquis for her military achievements, becoming the first female marquis in history.

In the same year, Emperor Dongling passed away. The struggle for the throne among the kings led to the division of the court and the reduction of national strength by half. The old ministers of the royal family and the young emperor opened the city and presented a petition, expressing their willingness to surrender sixteen states, follow the legitimate rule of our dynasty, and request the dispatch of envoys to pacify the people and govern the country.

The ninth year of Zhaorong.

He put down the remaining rebellion of Southern Zhao and pacified the remnants of Dongling. From then on, there was no more war on the border and the world was finally unified.

In the first year of Yongjing, the country's name was changed to Tianqi.

Prime Minister Nangong Jing was enthroned as queen, and they jointly stabilised the country.

New policies were promulgated and girls' schools were opened. Women could take exams to become officials, learn martial arts and join the army, set up households, inherit titles, and inherit family property.

If a man has no virtue, you can divorce him.

Since then, the Tianqi Dynasty has enjoyed a harmonious political environment, a prosperous people's life, and the talents and virtues of women have been fully displayed.

In the court, there were female officials who held the plan to govern the country and expressed their opinions directly.

In the military camp, female generals were seen wearing armor and guarding the border, giving orders to the three armies.

In the market, women either run workshops or operate shops.

Throughout the world, there is no disturbance caused by separatist regimes, no suffering from famine and displacement, the granaries are full of grain, and people can leave their doors unlocked at night.

Later generations called this hundred years the "Tianqi Great Reign."
