Chapter 749 Long Live the Emperor! (Seeking monthly votes in September!)

Yu Muhuai: No, I'm not interested in that.

Big White: Really? How could someone who loves making dirty jokes like you not be interested?

Yu Muhuai: Ha, it's just humor when you talk about it, but it becomes lewd when you actually do it. How could someone as elegant, dignified and generous as me do such a thing?

DaBai: Are you sure you're talking about yourself?
Yu Muhuai: If you keep doing this, I'm going to ask to change partners.

Big White: Fine, you're ruthless, humph.

That said, now we have to deal with the truly dignified and elegant empress in front of us.

Yu Muhuai originally intended to remain still until the enemy made a move, but seeing Xue Rong obediently and meekly helping him change his clothes, he couldn't help but speak first.

"Your Majesty, about your father..."

Xue Rong looked up at Yu Muhuai, her eyes calm and her face serene.

"Your Majesty, I am but a woman and know nothing of court affairs."

"All I know is that my husband is my heaven, and Your Majesty is my heaven."

After saying that, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Yu Muhuai.

That shy yet affectionate glance made Yu Muhuai's heart flutter.

Xue Rong deliberately used the term "husband" to shorten the gap between their social statuses and bring them closer.

Yu Muhuai feigned composure, nodded slightly, and hummed in agreement.

With just this simple response, Xue Rong's mood visibly improved.

"Your Majesty, before I married you, I was just a lowly concubine's daughter in the Xue family."

It is you who have given me everything I have today. I support all of Your Majesty's actions and agree with all your ideas.

Do whatever you wish; I will never object.

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips, feeling that he was about to lose control.

Rejecting a man is easy, but when faced with such a delicate, sweet, and beautiful woman, Yu Muhuai couldn't bring himself to refuse her directly.

When a woman is gentle and tender, it is truly the most irresistible haven of gentle affection in the world.

Therefore, the best way is
"Yes, I understand. I just remembered I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll head over now."

After saying that, Yu Muhuai took his belt from Xue Rong's hand and casually tied it as he walked towards the door.

If she doesn't leave now, Xue Rong will carry her up in a little while, and it will be even harder for her to walk.

Based on Yu Muhuai's years of experience traveling through different worlds, he was certain that Xue Rong would want to carry him soon.
Yu Muhuai realized that Xue Rong had come here not for Xue Feng, but for her.

Indeed, Xue Rong was waiting for Yu Muhuai in the main hall because the Emperor hadn't visited the inner palace in a long time and missed it.

Although the Emperor did not visit the inner palace, it meant he did not favor any woman. But it also meant that Xue Rong would never see the Emperor again.

So she could only grit her teeth and wait in the main hall.

Unexpectedly, the emperor left after saying only a few words, remaining unmoved by her advances and declarations of affection.

Is it because I've been too busy lately that I haven't had the time or inclination to spend time with someone?
Xue Rong bit her lower lip, pondered for a long time, and finally just let out a long sigh.

Having finally escaped from the Empress's clutches, Yu Muhuai hurried to the Imperial Study.

She would rather handle a thousand official documents and memorials every day than go to the harem and face those beautiful women.

Thinking back to her previous lives, she was already exhausted from dealing with eight men.

These days, with three palaces, six courtyards, and three thousand beauties, they're really going to drain me dry!

However, not long after Yu Muhuai arrived at the Imperial Study, a young eunuch came to report a message.

After hearing this, Li De'en hesitated for a long time before reporting the news to Yu Muhuai.

"Your Majesty, Bao Min, the wet nurse, is requesting an audience outside the palace." Yu Muhuai paused in his reading of the memorials.

Bao Min, the late emperor's wet nurse, was Ping Qinian's lover.

Relying on his merit in raising the late emperor, he ran rampant in the palace, colluding with Ping Qinian to commit many evil deeds.

The late emperor was already in poor health, and although he had several sons, they all died young.

Some even died in childbirth, taking their lives along with their mothers.

Based on the limited evidence available and some of Wan Zhixin's recollections, Yu Muhuai speculated that the wet nurse Bao Min might have played a role in this incident.

Because the late emperor was only in his twenties at that time, still young.

If the princes are already adults after the late emperor's death, then Ping Qinian will be difficult to control.

Ideally, the emperor would pass away and a young prince would be on the throne, allowing Ping Qinian to continue to control the government.

However, unexpectedly, the late emperor was short-lived, passing away at the age of 28. Before his death, he defied public opinion and, in full view of everyone, found Wan Zhixin to succeed to the throne.

At that time, there were many court officials watching, and even if Ping Qinian wanted to do something underhanded, it was too late.

Besides the relationship with Ping Qinian, Bao Min's jealousy was also a factor.

Bao Min raised the late emperor, and the two had a very close relationship.

Although Yu Muhuai couldn't be sure if there was that kind of relationship, it was definitely not just a simple relationship between a child and a wet nurse.

In Yu Muhuai's original world, Emperor Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Dynasty bestowed the title of Consort Wan upon his wet nurse Wan Zhen'er, who was 17 years his senior.

Yu Muhuai speculated that the late emperor had lacked maternal love to some extent, which is why he had an unusual attachment to Bao Min.

This also caused Bao Min to feel intense jealousy, as she did not want anyone else to share the late emperor's affection.

Yu Muhuai couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Throughout history, the dark and chaotic aspects of royal families, along with their complex and tangled relationships, could fill an entire book.

Many of these things will far exceed people's imagination.

However, ever since Wan Zhixin ascended the throne, he found a pretext to send Bao Min away from the palace.

Wan Zhixin didn't want to see this woman whose face was full of desire. With her stirring up trouble in the palace, there would definitely be no peace.

However, due to the late emperor's special treatment and the relationship between He Ping and Qinian, Wan Zhixin was still quite polite to Bao Min.

Yu Muhuai nodded, signaling Li De'en to let Bao Min in.

Before long, a graceful and beautiful woman walked in, swaying her hips.

Bao Min was nearly ten years older than the late emperor, and was now around forty years old.

Because of her good skincare and carefree lifestyle, Bao Min looks much younger than her peers.

However, the fine lines around her eyes betrayed her age.

Perhaps because she had been a wet nurse, Bao Min was very heavy, and she swayed violently with every step she took.

The light made Yu Muhuai's eyes blur.

She clearly has plenty of breast milk and would be perfect to be a wet nurse.

Bao Min approached Yu Muhuai and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty."

Although she had once been arrogant because of the emperor's favor, she understood that the current emperor did not like her, so she was very polite.

Yu Muhuai remained expressionless and gave a faint "hmm".

Wan Zhixin had previously followed the late emperor and called her his wet nurse.
