Chapter 91
The sinister look on Sun Zhong's face immediately disappeared, leaving him completely bewildered.
Bro, what's wrong with you again?
I haven't offended you recently!
Mo Zhi gritted his teeth: This stupid idiot with no brains!
Why did he have to teach those idiots a lesson today of all days? I wonder if he scared his wife half to death.
If he really frightens the lady, see if His Majesty won't punish him!
Sun Zhong: "???"
Dude, do you have a sty?
Your eyes must be twitching!
We must quickly find the imperial physician to examine you!
Mo Zhi: "..."
I'm so tired!
Forget it, let this silly fool perish!
Mo Zhi had no desire to deal with that man surnamed Sun anymore, so he urged his horse to escort his wife into the palace.
"Hey, Old Mo, wait for me, Commander!"
Sun Zhong lifted his leg and chased after Mo Zhi's horse.
Mo Zhi was so angry that he yelled, "Shut up!"
How could the dignified Director of the Eastern Depot behave so improperly?
You've really disgraced His Majesty!
"No, Lao Mo, why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were bringing your wife to the palace?"
"hehe!"
"Old Mo, are you still in your period? You're still so irritable!"
"...Get out of here!"
Wen Xin inside the carriage: "..."
She simply couldn't keep up the act of being shocked and upset any longer!
If it weren't for the ruthless methods the Eastern Depot supervisor used to punish officials, one would have thought he was a clown sent by the monkeys!
Upon receiving the news, Emperor Chengyuan immediately put aside his official duties and came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet her.
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Qingyu and Qinghe stepped back, offering their seats to His Majesty.
Emperor Chengyuan reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, asking softly, "Are you tired?"
Wen Xin obediently shook her head, "I'm not tired."
She explained, "I asked Mr. Mo not to tell you, because I was afraid it would interfere with your important business."
"Nonsense, you will never delay me."
However, Emperor Chengyuan did not pursue the matter any further.
He knew she was always sensible and most afraid of causing trouble for others.
Although he didn't want her to treat him the same way, she did care about him after all, so how could he bear to blame her?
Emperor Chengyuan led her into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and helped her sit on the dragon throne.
Before she could refuse, he said nonchalantly, "It's just a chair. If you don't want to sit on it, I don't want it either."
Wen Xin: "..."
She said helplessly, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Chengyuan took the handkerchief presented by the palace maid and personally wiped her hands, saying, "Everything I possess can be shared with you."
Wen Xin's eyes trembled slightly. She pursed her lips and softly told him about her recent visit to the Wen family.
Emperor Chengyuan frowned unconsciously.
He hadn't forgotten how heartbroken she was when the Wen family treated her as if she were dead after she "disappeared."
At that moment, the petite girl lay on his chest and wept softly, almost breaking the emperor's heart of stone.
Emperor Chengyuan was so angry he wanted to slaughter the entire Wen family.
The Wen family's actions today are undoubtedly rubbing salt into her wounds.
The emperor's eyes were cold and fierce. If it weren't for the fact that the Wen family was her maternal clan and he didn't want any rift between them, he would have killed that disgusting family long ago.
However, to Emperor Chengyuan's surprise, this time, although Wen Xin was down and disappointed, she did not cry.
She shook her head bitterly, "Maybe it's because the pain gets so bad that you stop feeling the pain?"
Emperor Chengyuan held her and comforted her in a low voice, "Be good, we won't pay attention to them anymore. They're not worth your sadness and heartbreak."
Wen Xin bit her lip lightly and nodded listlessly.
She nestled in his arms, absorbing his warmth, her voice trembling slightly, "Once I get my parents' belongings back, the Wen family will have nothing to do with me anymore. I don't want to see them again, and I don't want to hear anything about them again."
Emperor Chengyuan sought it but could not obtain it.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead tenderly. "You have me. What you have lost, I will give back to you a thousandfold. I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance again."
The emperor's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent as he spoke the last sentence.
He will definitely not stay in the Wen family.
He can deal with it slowly after she marries him and he's free to do so.
No one could escape unscathed after further humiliation.
Wen Xin seemed unaware of the emperor's murderous intent towards the Wen family. She leaned softly against him, her fingers touching the cold embroidery on his dragon robe.
"His Majesty."
"Um?"
"When I first entered the palace, I saw a group of officials kneeling at the palace gate."
Emperor Chengyuan's expression changed slightly. He grasped her soft hand, restrained the violence in his heart, and said gently, "Don't pay attention to those fools. They won't be able to keep jumping around for long."
Wen Xin shook her head, straightened up, and gently touched his eyes, her eyes filled with worry and heartache. "Have you been very tired lately?"
Where?
"Your Majesty, don't lie to me. I know that the civil officials and powerful figures are opposing you, causing you a lot of trouble and leaving you with no time to spare."
A century after the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the powerful and influential nobles and civil officials had become deeply entrenched, firmly rooted in the empire's lifeline, drawing upon the nation's fortune and the people's lifeblood. Their stubbornness could not be defeated in a short time.
Emperor Chengyuan has only been on the throne for two years, and his foundation is not solid enough. He seems to have the upper hand now, but if the struggle continues, it will inevitably damage the foundation of the country.
In the end, it will only result in a lose-lose situation!
He finally gained control of the country, and in the past two years, he has gradually stabilized the court and the people, allowing the nation to recuperate and thrive.
With his skills and abilities, give him ten years, and he will surely restore a prosperous era to the world.
At that time, his reputation as a tyrant will naturally crumble on its own.
In the future, he will surely be recorded in history books as a great monarch praised by all.
Wen Xin did not want him to bear the reputation of cruelty that had been passed down for thousands of years because of her.
Emperor Chengyuan cupped her face in his hands, "Those troubles mean nothing to me. What does reputation matter? After death, a person is nothing but a handful of dust. Who cares about their posthumous reputation?"
Wen Xin's eyes glistened with tears, "But if you continue to fight with powerful officials and nobles like this, the world will be in turmoil, and it will be the common people who suffer!"
She choked up, "If that's the case, then you made a mistake by meeting me in the first place!"
"Ah Xin!"
Emperor Chengyuan's deep, icy eyes were fixed on her. "I forbid you to say that. If I hadn't met you, who knows when I would have gone mad and destroyed this empire?"
His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice became hoarse. "You don't know yet, do you? I'm actually a madman!"
Wen Xin opened her eyes slightly, then angrily tugged at his sleeve, "Your Majesty!"
Is there anything he wouldn't dare say?
He actually called himself crazy!
"Heh," Emperor Chengyuan's eyes were bloodshot, his obsession turning into madness, "I was born to live in hell. I finally have you. If anyone dares to take you away, I will not hesitate to overthrow the world."
Wen Xin almost stopped breathing, staring blankly at him, as if only today did she realize that he was deeply in love with her, to the point of madness.
