Danruo looked around and saw the branches in the vase on the table next to him.
After trying to control it, the branches quickly spread and wrapped around the ankles of the wretched old man in front of him.
Dan Ruo was secretly happy. Although this body was extremely weak, fortunately his spiritual power was not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.
The old man was tripped by a flower branch that appeared quietly and then retracted, and he stumbled and knelt right in front of Danruo.
General Zhu was furious:
"You little bastard, you can't escape today. Madam Chu has already decided to give you to me as a concubine.
I'll just play hard to get with you for a while. Although you were born from the same mother, you don't see what a miserable life you have. You really think you are a sister to Princess Kang.
Princess Kang is like the bright moon in the sky. You are the daughter of a criminal, and it is your good fortune to be my concubine."
The emperor had no son. Prince Kang's father, the emperor's eldest brother, died saving the emperor a few years ago and entrusted his son to the care of the emperor before his death.
The entire court basically believed that Prince Kang was the designated heir, the closest bloodline to the emperor, and was favored by the empress dowager.
However, the emperor had not yet issued an edict to appoint an heir, and every time the ministers urged him to do so, the emperor would find excuses to reject the request.
He had wanted to use his son's full-month ceremony in the palace to test the waters for an heir, but after being rejected by the emperor, he learned that General Zhu had taken a fancy to Dan Ruo, so he planned today's event, hoping to force the emperor to adopt General Zhu as the heir.
With this in mind, not only must General Zhu not be allowed to succeed today, but Prince Kang must also lose his favor.
I just don’t know whether the emperor will personally attend the banquet to show his favor today as Prince Kang’s son is one month old.
Dan Ruo summoned the Samsara Pearl in his mind and asked about the emperor's current location.
"The emperor is now one hundred meters southeast of you, in the garden of Prince Kang's mansion, reeking of alcohol."
Dan Ruo concentrated his mind and energy, using his spiritual power to make the flowers in the direction of the emperor bloom, and the flowers bloomed all the way to attract the emperor to this courtyard.
We must seize this opportunity to let the emperor come to the rescue, otherwise it will be difficult to see the emperor again next time. Merit is important.
At the moment when Dan Ruo was communicating with the Samsara Pearl, General Zhu also dragged his heavy body to stand up from his kneeling position. Dan Ruo walked back and forth in the room around General Zhu, deliberately delaying time.
When the time is right, deliberately guide:
"You are old enough to be my great-grandfather, how shameless! You even want to abuse me. Can you give birth to a son?
If I were to marry, I would marry a great hero like the Emperor, one with great talent and vision, who can save the people from disaster."
General Zhu, who was ridiculed for his old age, pounced on Danruo fiercely. Danruo quickly moved towards the door and dodged when General Zhu pounced on him.
General Zhu watched as the face of the beauty so close to him turned into the door frame. He was slow to react due to the incense he had inhaled. Before he could steady himself, he fell down with the door frame, and the wooden door collapsed with a loud bang.
Dan Ruo stepped on General Zhu's body and jumped out, running outside in a panic.
General Zhu's waist was stepped on, and it felt like a thousand pounds were pressing on him. He couldn't get up from the ground.
Coupled with Dan Ruo's ridicule of the old man for not being able to give birth to a son, anger rushed to his head:
"How dare you, you little bitch, despise me? To be honest, following me is better than following the emperor. I am old but still strong. Last year, I had a boy. The emperor won't let anyone have a son. If I catch you, I will punish you severely."
As General Zhu roared, Dan Ruo stumbled and fell into the emperor's arms, panicked, weak and helpless: "Sir, help me."
The emperor looked down at the girl who rushed in. Her little face, as white as jade, was covered with traces of tears and there was some dust on her cheeks.
His eyes were misty and filled with tears. He looked pitiful and cute, just like the little wild cat he raised. His heart itched, and for the first time he didn't push away the woman who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
General Zhu got up and started to get mad:
"Even if the emperor came today, he couldn't save you."
It wasn't until General Zhu saw the emperor holding Danruo not far away that he was petrified. After rubbing his eyes to confirm that it was the emperor himself, his body trembled, his legs softened, and he fell heavily to the ground. It hurt just to hear it.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation~"
Qi Mu was already feeling depressed because his nephew, Prince Kang, had given birth to a son, and now he felt furious:
"General Zhu, what's there to explain? What you just said must be from your heart.
I think General Zhu should stop attending court from now on. Go home and have children every day. If you don't have a hundred, your entire family will be executed."
Qi Mu is thirty-six years old this year and still has no children. In the past few years, the ministers in the court have been thinking about adding daughters to the harem every day.
After there was no movement in the harem, they all advised to adopt an heir. After the news of the appointment of Prince Kang as the heir came out in the past two years, many ministers went to Prince Kang's mansion to make efforts. This made Qi Mu, who was in his prime, very uncomfortable. However, since he had no heirs, adoption was inevitable.
Although Qi Mu had given up hope of having his own children, being mocked behind his back by the ministers still offended his dignity as a man.
Upon hearing the emperor's order, General Zhu burst into tears.
If you don't have a hundred children, the whole family will be executed. I am fifty-six years old this year, and I have more than twenty children in my backyard, which is already a lot. How can I have a hundred children? It's like a big knife is hanging over the heads of my whole family, and I am in constant fear.

After hearing that the emperor had dealt with General Zhu, Dan Ruo no longer suppressed the medicinal properties he had just inhaled. After all, a real performance is the most natural.
Feeling the restless twisting of the girl in his arms, Qi Mu covered the girl's head with his outer robe and walked out quickly, instructing the accompanying eunuch Deng Gonggong as he walked:
"Deal with what happened here and call a doctor to treat her."
Qi Mu was angry about what happened today but he didn't want to make a big fuss. On the one hand, it would affect the reputation of the girl in his arms.
On the other hand, he didn't want to ruin the birthday party of Prince Kang's eldest son today. After all, his eldest brother left the young Prince Kang behind to save him.
Dan Ruo was controlled by the drug and felt hot all over. He just wanted to find something cool to touch.
After a moment, the little hand slipped into the emperor's robe. Feeling the little hand on his chest, Qi Mu took a deep breath and frowned.
"Did the imperial physician die on the way?"
Accompanied by Qi Mu's second impatient urging, Doctor Li, who had been carried all the way here, was indeed almost scared to death;
Before he could relieve the discomfort of his fear of heights, he felt the emperor's low pressure and received a look from the chief eunuch Deng, so he hurriedly took the pulse of the girl in the emperor's arms.
After a moment, he lowered his head and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, this medicine is extremely strong for women. If you don't have sex soon, you will die from the surge of qi and blood."
