Thinking of this, Xu Lingyi couldn't help but clench the letter in her hand.
"Is he ill?"
Xu Lingyi was a little angry. If she really died and her grave was dug up and she couldn't rest in peace, she would probably be so angry that she would come alive in the underground.
"Isn't Zhao Yun still carrying that corpse around with him? Wouldn't it stink?"
The magic mirror thought of that weird scene and felt speechless and a little disgusted.
"It won't stink, it's been embalmed, but it will look scary."
But no matter what, it was a real corpse.
Zhao Yun actually brought the body from such a distance to the capital.
Xu Lingyi was speechless.
The magic mirror said: "Could it be that he likes you too much, so he is like this?"
Xu Lingyi couldn't help but knock on the mirror: "Is love the only thing on your mind?"
The magic mirror felt a little aggrieved; "I just think the male lead likes you."
"Master, what if the male protagonist really finds out?"
Zhao Yun is now the emperor, and he seems a little abnormal. No one knows what he will do.
"If I find out, I'll find out. If there's a need to settle accounts, then I'll take the initiative and settle accounts with him."
Regardless, she saved his life and healed his eyes.
Xu Lingyi was not panicked.
She really didn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Yun anymore, so it would be best if she didn't get discovered.
"You have always been known for your magical powers. Go and steal the body back from Zhao Yun."
Zhao Yun already believed that she was really dead, so the body was useless, and taking it back could avoid being discovered.
The magic mirror shook its head: "Master, I am just a mirror. Just because I am smart, you can't think that I can do everything. That would be too difficult for the mirror."
"Then let it be."
Xu Lingyi immediately gave up, which was consistent with the Valley Master's mentality.
"Master, I don't know why, but I'm actually kind of looking forward to the hero finding out."
Xu Lingyi looked at the magic mirror silently, but did not say anything.
In fact, she also thought about how Zhao Yun would react when facing her.
Although my grandparents didn't ask too much about Yuan'er's father.
But Xu Lingyi knew in her heart that they still cared about this matter.
In fact, for Yuan'er's sake, being discovered might not be a bad thing.
Xu Lingyi looked down at the child. "If he knew your identity, you would probably stay with him. Your father is the emperor, but mother doesn't want to be with him."
Xu Lingyi had never thought about getting married and having children before. At first, she just wanted to be a doctor who traveled around the world like her master and senior brothers.
But because of the ghost's mission, she brought the child into this world and inevitably had a responsibility for him.
"If we are separated in the future, I will come back to see you in a few years."
But she would not stay in the palace. She didn't want to stay there for the rest of her life.
Even if Zhao Yun was sincere from the beginning, Xu Lingyi had no intention of being with him.
So she didn't care about Zhao Yun's exploitation. From this perspective, she was more ruthless than Zhao Yun.
————
At the morning court session the next day, the court officials arrived especially early.
After all, Your Majesty has always been diligent in his work, and it is extremely rare for him to neglect state affairs like he has in recent times.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was safe and sound, the speculations in the minds of most court officials dissipated. They breathed a sigh of relief that His Majesty was not critically ill.
But the next second they suspected that they had heard it wrong.
Your Majesty wants to establish a queen!
She was a woman whose name had never been heard of, and she was not any of the concubines in the harem.
"Your Majesty, may I ask which family's daughter you wish to establish as your heir?"
The court officials instantly recalled all the families with the surname Xu in the capital.
Finally, it was discovered that there was only General Xu's family.
But General Xu only has one grandson in his family, and all the others are dead.
The late emperor was extremely cruel to the Xu family, and the only child left behind was a sickly child who would not live many years.
"She is not a daughter of an official family, but a commoner's daughter."
Zhao Yun did not involve Yaowang Valley.
"Your Majesty! How can a commoner woman sit on the throne of Empress and rule the country? Please think twice!"
At one moment, most of the court officials knelt down. Even those who had always supported Zhao Yun felt that it was absurd.
After all, there has never been a precedent of a commoner woman becoming a queen throughout history.
If a woman without status sits on the throne of queen and overpowers a group of daughters of officials, how can she convince the public?
Zhao Yun, who was sitting above, couldn't stand hearing such words at all.
"I have made up my mind. I only want her. If even she is not worthy, then no one else in this world is worthy of that position."
Seeing that the court officials were about to refute, Zhao Yun's face instantly darkened, and he stared at the officials below with a very grim look.
"This world belongs to me, and the Queen is my wife. It is not your turn to meddle in my family affairs. If anyone insists on opposing me, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Zhao Yun's voice was extremely cold, with a chill that penetrated the bones.
Everyone could tell that Zhao Yun was serious and that His Majesty really intended to kill.
"Which of you, my dear minister, has any objections? Please stand up now."
Zhao Yun stared at everyone sinisterly.
This was clearly the work of a tyrant, but no one dared to come out at this moment.
Zhao Yun's road to the throne was full of blood.
He killed all his brothers and more than a dozen princes.
After ascending the throne, His Majesty seemed to have become much gentler and rarely killed people, but his ministers were still aware of his methods.
"Since no one has stepped forward, then the matter is settled. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory should select an auspicious day as soon as possible."
