Chapter 59 After Marriage
Mubumutai still held the shaman in front of him in high esteem.
She smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to have asked you to come all the way from the grasslands in such a hurry."
"But this concerns the rise and fall of the nation, so I have no choice but to act in this way. Please do not take offense, Shaman."
The shaman bowed slightly before saying, "Your Majesty, you flatter me."
From the moment Galo saw the great shaman, he knew that everything Angelama had said was true.
The great shaman had asked her when she was young if she had nightmares, and if she felt unwell, dizzy, or drowsy, she could go and ask him for help.
But Jialuo never felt that there was anything wrong with her body, so she never looked for him.
But Abu would invite the high shaman to check her health almost every year.
This continued for eight years until the great shaman said she was in good health and would surely enjoy a long and blessed life. Only then did Abu feel relieved and never consulted the great shaman again.
Jialuo thought it was Abu's doting care for her, but she never realized that it was Abu's concern and protection for her life.
She didn't know how to thank Abu for his overflowing love and affection.
She suddenly felt the man holding her hand tighten slightly. Jialuo turned her head and saw the man's tense profile.
His heavily inked face was now shrouded in suppressed rage.
Just as the high shaman was about to speak, he suddenly sneered and said, "So it is, this world, which has been fought over by heroes since ancient times."
"The world conquered by the iron cavalry of the Aisin Gioro ancestors,"
"Now, I think it's unnecessary for the emperor of the Aisin Gioro family to be the master of this world. How about letting your Empress Dowager and the shaman be the masters?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mubumutai's expression became solemn, while the great shaman on the other side turned around and bowed deeply to Fulin.
The entire palace returned to silence at that moment, a silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.
Jialuo's heart pounded like a drum; she didn't know what to say or do at that moment.
Just as she was filled with anxiety and confusion, she felt Fu Lin looking at her.
Jialuo looked up and met the man's gaze. In his eyes, she sensed a mixture of tenderness and determination.
Miraculously, Jialuo gradually relaxed. She suddenly felt that the man could really protect her tonight, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs all over the ground.
She blinked, and her expression gradually relaxed.
Fu Lin curled his lips into a smile, then turned to look at his biological mother.
He said, "I know that the Empress is kind-hearted and cannot bear to shed blood at the gate of Qianqing Palace today. Her benevolence is what makes her the true Empress of our Great Qing."
"I am a celestial dragon, and my empress is of extraordinary origin."
"Heaven blesses our Great Qing, thus bestowing upon us a woman of extraordinary birth, carrying divine will, to marry into the imperial family. This is a fortunate event for our Great Qing!"
After speaking, Fulin reached out and took the hilt of a knife from a guard.
Everyone was startled, and Sumala even subconsciously took two steps forward to protect the Empress Dowager behind her.
"Your Majesty, you can't..."
Fulin didn't even glance at her. He pointed his sword at the sky and said fiercely, "I, Aisin Gioro Fulin, the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty, swear before heaven and earth today that from this day forward, if anyone dares to say that the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, Borjigit Jialuo, was born under an ominous sign or that her soul is impure, I will make sure that she can neither live nor die!"
With a swift movement, Fu Lin brought down his knife, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.
Jialu felt as if he could see the drop of blood belonging to the emperor splashing and breaking as it fell to the ground.
Everyone was horrified.
"Clang!"
Before anyone could react, Fu Lin twirled his sword, and then the sword flashed as fiercely as the guard's scabbard.
Jialuo was startled by the sound of the sword being sheathed, and she quickly looked at the man's palm.
A line of blood had already formed on the man's palm, and blood was slowly beginning to accumulate.
Jialuo quickly looked at the security guard beside her and whispered, "Go and fetch the imperial physician!"
"No need, this injury won't kill me!"
Jialuo turned her head to look at the man, then seemed to think of something, reached into her bosom and pulled out a handkerchief, then made him open his injured hand.
Press the handkerchief firmly against the wound, then wrap the wound with the handkerchief and tie a knot on the back of his hand.
Everyone in the entire Qianqing Palace waited in silence for the Empress to bandage the Emperor's wounds.
Jialuo could also sense that Fulin wasn't looking at her. He simply raised his eyes, his cold gaze passing over her head and looking at the woman behind her who seemed like a tiger ready to devour her.
Jialuo sensed Fulin's strength, but also his absolute protection of her.
"Your Majesty, do you truly intend to proceed so stubbornly?!"
Mubumutai finally spoke again, asking Fulin a question, but this time her voice was not so calm; if you listened closely, you could even feel her trembling slightly.
"Do you know where you're placing the entire Qing Dynasty by doing this?!"
Before Fulin could answer, she spoke again: "The foundation of the Qing Dynasty, the hard work of generations, and you act like this for a woman?!"
"Some so-called charity, some so-called soft-heartedness, are actually what you're so infatuated with?!"
Jialuo suddenly looked up at the man's face.
His brows were furrowed with gloom, and the eyelids of his phoenix eyes pressed down on his pupils, making him appear imposing.
"Empress Dowager, you and your son know perfectly well whether your visit today is for the stability of the Qing Dynasty or whether you wish to return to the court."
"Who in the world doesn't know that it's a pity you, Empress Dowager, were born a daughter?"
“The bond between you and me as mother and son was already thin. Now that you are forcing your son and the girl he loves so hard, I don’t need to care about our last remaining bond as mother and son.”
He paused, then said with a cold laugh, "The conflict and disagreement between you and me have nothing to do with Xin Sa Ri."
"She respected you greatly. For the past five years, she lived her quiet life outside the palace in a well-behaved manner. But tonight, you orchestrated an assassination attempt that should never have happened, forcing her into the palace and subjecting her to such coercion from you."
"Your skill is far superior to mine. Your schemes, one after another, have led her into such a predicament. Not only am I ashamed of my own inferiority, but they have also made me see your intentions clearly."
"I originally loathed the Qing Dynasty enough, and I have fulfilled my responsibilities as your son during these few years on the throne."
"But tonight, for the first time, I have realized what the throne represents."
"This dragon throne is one of a kind in the world,"
"It means that I can protect everything that is most important to me."
"And she, Xin Sa Ri, I knew five years ago that she was the real everything. I was even willing to remain unmarried and childless for her sake, and to stay in this palace that I had long loathed so that she could live freely outside the palace!"
"So, who gave you the audacity to touch her!"
