He was a bloodthirsty man who had massacred countless cities and didn't care even when being called a tyrant. Now he cared about his reputation in matters between men and women.
Xie Wan Ning was somewhat amused. She looked at him and said, "It would have been great if you had known to care about this earlier."
After he finished speaking, the smile on Lu Ziyan's lips froze.
He stuffed an orange into her mouth and said, "I'm too conceited."
Xie Wan Ning hummed softly and slowly swallowed the piece of orange flesh.
This was the first time that the two of them talked about the past so calmly.
At this moment, Xie Wan Ning was thinking about their past lives.
She pouted and said, "Did you really think about taking a concubine at that time? Liu Manrou was just a pawn, just wanting me to accept you in advance..."
"No, I have never thought about taking a concubine," Lu Ziyan said, "I only wanted you from the beginning to the end. If I had second thoughts, I would have had countless opportunities before or after."
He led troops at the age of sixteen, and spent the entire year suppressing bandits and investigating crimes throughout the Khanate.
Countless officials offered him beauties. If he wanted, he would have seen countless people.
"Oh," Xie Wan looked at him with a smile, "Then what about your Lu family's succession?"
"...I already have you, anyway, I never thought of anyone else." Lu Ziyan also remembered what he said in the past. He pursed his lips and said, "I was young and hot-tempered at that time, and I felt that you were being aggressive, so I said some nonsense. Don't take it seriously, those are not my true words."
He put down the tangerine in his hand, wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, then held her hand and said with a wry smile: "I knew I was wrong a long time ago, really."
He paid enough price for this.
"Alright," Xie Wan Ning did not have the heart to embarrass him anymore, and continued the previous topic, "If you don't plan to let me change my name, then how are you going to explain that I came back to life and gave birth to a child?"
"It's easy to explain why he came back to life. Just say that he was rescued by the boatman that day. As for Ran'er..."
Thinking of his son, Lu Ziyan smiled, "Of course the Queen loves me so much that she risked her life to give birth to a child for me. It's just that the birth damaged her health, so she was arranged to recuperate in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Now she is in good health, so she should return to the palace."
The deep love between the emperor and the empress will surely become a story passed down through the ages.
In fact, it was just as Lu Ziyan said.
While they were still on the road, news spread in the capital that the queen was not dead, had been living in the south of the Yangtze River for the past few years, and was now being welcomed by the emperor himself and would be returning to the palace soon.
A huge event was created to celebrate Xie Wan Ning's reappearance.
The explanation given to the public was that she was weak after giving birth and was recuperating in a villa in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor knew about this, as did the Xie family and several important officials in the court.
Therefore, their emperor was not crazy enough to marry a tablet, but the queen was not dead at all.
Not only did she not die, but she also gave birth to a prince.
He is the heir and the eldest, so Dahan will have a successor.
As for why the empress's coronation ceremony was completed by the emperor holding the tablet even though the person was clearly still alive, with Lu Ziyan's current deterrent power, no one in the court dared to question it.
Whatever he says is what it is.
No matter what, it's a happy event.
The emperor and empress lived in love and harmony, and there was a little prince who had already been established.
From then on, Lu Ziyan's sharp sword had a scabbard.
Now that you have a wife and children and a warm bed to live in, you won’t still have such a strong desire to kill, right?
Everyone thought so.
I was surprised and delighted by Xie Wan Ning's sudden appearance.
