Chapter 301: Two Concubines
"Sister-in-law..."
Huang Yuan suppressed his inner excitement, looked greedily at the general's palm, and whispered, "How many such novel items do you have?"
"Countless." Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "As long as it can quell the war, I can give you as much as you want."
Huang Yuan could hardly suppress the smile on his face. He looked at Xie Ming hurriedly and muttered, "General..."
The bows and arrows were thrown aside, and the soldiers on the city wall each held two grenades and threw them at the enemy like skipping stones on the water.
There were constant explosions, dust filling the sky, and cries for help coming from outside the city.
Zhang Kui had already died, and no one knew who had thrown the bomb that killed him.
Without their backbone, the enemy completely collapsed, became confused, and ran away screaming, but no matter where they ran, the sound of explosions followed them.
"Break through the city gate!"
"That's right, they want to blow us up, so we'll drag them down with us!"
Someone shouted, but the enemy troops rushed forward as if they had found a way to survive.
But there were only twenty or so soldiers holding grenades. The soldiers who were not selected by the general to participate in the bomb game were like eggplants hit by frost, and were wilting. Seeing them coming to their door, they immediately became interested, straightened their bows, and shot countless arrows out.
There were corpses everywhere outside the city gates, and many explosion pits, deep and shallow, which were shocking.
"Please! I have elderly parents and young children to support. I am willing to surrender!"
"I'm willing to do that too. I'll throw away my sword!"
"I surrender too!"
There is no point in fighting such a battle until the end.
They don’t want to die…
Wailing and begging for mercy could be heard from outside. Xie Ming looked glum as he said in a deep voice, "Huang Yuan, tell them that anyone willing to surrender will be branded with a slave mark and exiled to the border to open up wasteland."
"Thank you, Fourth Young Master. I'm here with my men!" Bai Moyan dismounted and rushed up the city wall. "I just heard a lot of harsh noises. Are there any casualties among you—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a sea of corpses outside the city.
Bai Moyan was stunned for a long while before he raised his hand to rub his eyes, and then he became dumbfounded again.
Xie Ming threw the bomb in his hand with a smile on his lips, "Prince Consort, by the time you come, everyone out there has been reborn twice."

Imperial Palace
"No one died?"
The emperor's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he had just heard, until he saw Xie Suzhou nodding with a smile. He sat on the dragon throne in a daze, looking at the girl with a charming smile, and muttered, "Girl, are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. Who would curse themselves?" Eunuch Fulu's face was still pale, and his body was wrapped in many circles of gauze, but he still insisted on standing beside the emperor. The look he gave Su Cheng was more loving than before. "Miss Zhao is brave and resourceful. She is a well-deserved heroine."
"Oh, Master Fulu, you're too kind." Zhao Hu straightened his back, waved his hands, and smiled arrogantly. "My daughter has many good qualities, but intelligence is her least noteworthy virtue."
If you don’t know, you might think I was praising him.
"Humph, I don't know what kind of shit luck you have to have such a good daughter like Cheng." The emperor rolled his eyes at him, then smiled and looked at Su Cheng kindly, "Girl, there are many people who have made contributions today, but you are definitely the greatest contributor. I want to reward you-"
With a glance, he saw Xie Jinyu standing in the audience, looking at him with a smile.
The emperor's eyes flickered, and he coughed twice in embarrassment. He said briefly and quickly, "I'll give you Doctor Xie as your concubine."
After he finished speaking, the smile on Xie Jinyu's lips became even brighter.
"What?" Xie Suzhou's pupils suddenly shrank. He looked up, but only saw the emperor's profile.
The emperor hummed a little tune guiltily, looking up at the sky and the earth but he didn't have the face to look at Xie Suzhou's peach blossom eyes.
He is sorry to Lord Xie.
"Mian Shou?" Su Cheng was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Xie Jinyu beside him and asked with a frown, "Who came up with such a good idea?"
Xie Jinyu's moist eyes turned slightly, and she smiled innocently. She said softly, "The emperor has always been considerate of his subjects and has always been dedicated to their happiness. Ah Cheng, this is a favor from the emperor, and I cannot refuse it."
Su Cheng was speechless for a moment. He looked back at Xie Suzhou who was standing beside him and gently bit his lower lip.
"Your Majesty, if possible, could you take me with you?"
"Hmm?" The emperor looked at Xie Ming who was standing at the edge, his eyes filled with shock. "Xie Ming, even you—"
"I have a deep affection for Ah Cheng." Xie Ming lowered his eyelashes, not daring to meet his second brother's gaze. He said in a deep voice, "I have made some contributions to the eldest prince's rebellion this time. Can I ask for a favor from the emperor?"
"This..." The emperor paused, his face flushed with embarrassment. "I have no other opinion, but I still need your approval on this matter..."
"Your Majesty, I agree."
When Xie Suzhou said this, everyone around him looked at him in shock.
Xie Suzhou raised the corners of his lips, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and a fleeting coldness flashed in his eyes. "Jinyu, Ah Ming, and I are already family. If they truly love Ah Cheng and Ah Cheng agrees, I will gladly agree."
This is the demeanor of the main wife.
but……
Wait until these two little bastards fall into my hands...
Xie Suzhou chuckled, and the grievance in his eyes disappeared. He glanced lightly at his two careless brothers, and his eyes became more intense.
If you can't kill them, write your name upside down.
"Xie Suzhou..." Su Cheng was surprised, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Why are you..."
"Will my refusal be of any use?" Facing those almond-shaped eyes, Xie Suzhou turned back to his aggrieved look, blinking obediently and softly, "As long as Ah Cheng is happy, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little."
They are all thousand-year-old foxes.
The smile on Xie Jinyu's lips gradually faded, and a cold flash flashed in his eyes.
What a good move of retreating to advance!
If he were free, he could climb over the wall of his second brother's house anytime and anywhere and hang out with Ah Cheng.
But now that I have become a concubine, my every move is under the eyes of my second brother.
It was a bad idea... but it actually suited Second Brother's wishes.
Xie Jinyu bit her thin lips lightly, regret flashing in her eyes. Then she looked at Xie Ming, whose expression was not very good either. It was obvious that he had expected this.
"That couldn't be better!" The emperor beamed, waving his hand. "From now on, your family living in harmony is more important than anything else. As long as Miss Cheng is willing, I will immediately issue an order for her to marry Lord Xie. Jinyu and A Ming will marry the next morning."
"Also, I will give you a large house with three entrances and three exits, which is big enough for your family to live in."
"Your Majesty, I feel..."
Xie Jinyu and Xie Ming spoke at the same time.
"I thank the emperor for his grace."
Xie Suzhou interrupted the two of them and bowed deeply to the emperor at the top, his peach blossom eyes filled with a mischievous smile.
Want to regret? No way!
