"You think I wouldn't dare? A heartless person like you doesn't deserve to be a father, so why should I be a son?"
Just as Xie Wei was about to lose his mind in anger, Yan Ling dragged her sword, cut through the thorns and brambles to reach Xie Wei's side, raised her hand, and pierced his heart with an arrow, clean and swift!
Xue Yuan vomited mouthfuls of blood onto his back, but he looked straight at Xie Wei with a beautiful smile, "Brother, killing him would dirty your hands, I'll do it for you."
Chu Yuan stood not far away, watching the show like a spectator, almost as if she had a handful of melon seeds in her hand!
She whispered to Jiang Xuening, "Look at them, they're kind of kind of ship, aren't they?"
Jiang Xuening was completely baffled. "Huh? What are you bowing to?"
"Of course it's shipping couples, what else could it be?"
Jiang Xuening, "What does 'shipping' (shipping) mean?"
Chu Yuan held out her hand, putting her two thumbs together. "That's it, understand?"
"Ah!" Jiang Xuening reacted in surprise, "You mean homosexuality? This... I think what you said makes sense!"
Shen Zhiyi and Zhang Zhe, standing nearby, were speechless.
After Xue Yuan's clique was purged, the capital returned to peace.
The Xue family's rebellion failed, and Xue Yuan and Xue Ye died in battle. Xue Shu was unharmed, but even the Empress Dowager was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. Xue Shu was isolated and helpless, so what good could come of it?
He hanged himself not long after.
At that time, Consort Qin was about to give birth. Shen Lang probably realized that Chu Yuan was the real expert. Before Consort Qin could react, he summoned Chu Yuan to the palace.
At this time, Chu Yuan was five months pregnant.
As a pregnant woman, to deliver another pregnant woman's baby is unbelievable, but the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so Chu Yuan had no choice.
Fortunately, apart from being a bit delicate and exaggerated, Consort Qin was otherwise fine. Her physical condition had also improved after being properly cared for. After a whole night of struggling, she finally gave birth to the child.
He was a prince.
Shen Lang laughed with radiant joy, a stark contrast to her recent listlessness.
Chu Yuan shook her head. Her time was up, and even the most miraculous medicine couldn't save her!
But Shen Lang didn't want to die. He had finally found a crown prince and solved the problems of Xue Yuan's dominance and his mother's interference in politics. He hadn't even had a few days to enjoy the wonderful feeling of being an independent emperor. His child was still young and unable to stand on his own. How could he bear to die?
Therefore, when Chu Yuan was six months pregnant, Shen Lang felt that he could not delay any longer and summoned Chu Yuan to the palace once again.
This time, Yan Ling was stopped outside the Hall of Diligent Governance. "Your Highness, His Majesty's health is really not good. He does not want to see so many people. It is fine to have only Your Highness's wife."
Everyone knew that Shen Lang's days were numbered, and no one wanted to see him. The reason why Chu Yuan was chosen to be the sole recipient of the message was because of her exceptional medical skills.
Chen Lang still wanted to struggle a little.
However, his behavior these days made Yan Ling unable to feel at ease letting Chu Yuan go in alone.
He put his arm around Chu Yuan's shoulder and said tactfully, "Father-in-law, please go and tell him that we are husband and wife, and A Yue is heavily pregnant and clumsy. I am worried about her. I hope His Majesty will allow us to come to the audience together."
After his illness became terminal, Shen Lang's temperament became increasingly eccentric.
A few days ago in the imperial court, the Minister of Rites proposed to establish a crown prince as soon as possible and to appoint Xie Wei as the crown prince's tutor to assist and teach the crown prince.
The implication was that Xie Wei could play a supporting role in the country when Shen Lang was still young and unfortunately passed away.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lang suddenly flew into a rage and immediately dismissed him from his post as Minister of Rites, sending him back to his hometown to retire!
It is evident that even the calmest and wisest person, when facing death, feels resentment and fear.
It was this fear that made Yan Ling uneasy, afraid that if Shen Lang forced Chu Yuan to comply and Chu Yuan couldn't, he would lose control and harm Chu Yuan!
The eunuch went in and came out again, shaking his head: "Young Master Yan, the Emperor is in a bad mood. You'd better not be stubborn. This is the Hall of Diligent Governance. The Emperor wouldn't go so far as to eat your beloved wife!"
"I..." Yan Ling refused and was about to say something more when Chu Yuan stopped her, "It's okay, I'll go."
Lowering his voice, he whispered in Yan Ling's ear, "I know exactly why he's looking for me. It doesn't matter. If I can't do what he wants to me, I'll be able to protect myself."
If all else fails, finish him off with a Thunderbolt!
Anyway, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are the beliefs of Yan Ling and her people, not hers!
She had already helped Shen Lang a lot out of humanitarianism, and now she has everything: a son, power, and she wants to live a long life. Isn't that insatiable?
Besides, if she had a way, she wouldn't have stood by and watched him die. The problem is that the system's medicine has no obvious effect on him. What can she do?
As soon as Chu Yuan stepped into the Hall of Diligent Governance, Yan Ling's bad premonition grew stronger.
He hurriedly sent someone out of the palace to inform Yan's father and Xie Wei about this matter. Before long, Yan Mu, Xie Wei, Jiang Xue Ning, Zhang Zhe, and Shen Zhi Yi all arrived!
They are now figures who can shake the entire country with a stomp of their feet in the Great Gan Dynasty. Suddenly, they all gathered outside the Hall of Diligent Governance, and rumors spread like wildfire in the palace. It was almost rumored that the Yan family was about to rebel!
Yan Mu scoffed, "If we truly wanted to rebel, would we have waited until today?"
Wouldn't it have been more logical to kill Shen Lang during Xue Yuan's rebellion?
Xie Wei frowned, "Uncle, what if Shen Lang really does something bad to You Er, what will we do..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Ling, her face full of worry, clenched her fists and said coldly, word by word, "If he disregards the bond between ruler and subject, then I, Yan Ling, will not care about loyalty or disloyalty either!"
Whoever hurts his beloved will die.
Whoever he is!
The group waited outside the hall for almost half an hour, but Chu Yuan still didn't come out.
Everyone was extremely anxious and was about to rush in regardless of the consequences when the door of the Diligent Governance Hall opened, and Chu Yuan walked out unharmed, supporting her pregnant belly.
