After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

Autumn is approaching and the maple leaves are turning red.

As usual, Xiao Yanzi went out of the palace to make purchases and came to the Marquis Wu'an's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, have you visited my sister these days?" Yuan Jinglie asked this question countless times while standing by the pond in the courtyard feeding the fish.

"No, after His Majesty got better, he stayed in bed reading memorials and did not go out."

"But..." At this point, Xiao Yanzi frowned, as if he felt something was strange, "There is something that I feel is not right."

"what's up?"

"Your Majesty suddenly asked Eunuch Wang to select a group of palace maids to enter the Qiankun Palace, and he specifically picked those with outstanding looks. But before, the Qiankun Palace had no palace maids at all."

Hearing this, Yuan Jinglie was also a little surprised, but after calming down a little, he soon thought of something.

Your Majesty, you feel a sense of crisis after seeing Prince Yong and his wife give birth to a prince.

However, Your Majesty has been taking bone-splitting powder for so long and has been bedridden for nearly half a year. Even if he wants a dragon descendant now, he would be powerless.

Yuan Jinglie: "Keep an eye on those palace maids. If your majesty takes a liking to any of them, come and report to me."

"Yes."

Over there, in the imperial palace.

At night, under Wang Yun's arrangement, the most beautiful palace maid named Haitang, dressed seductively, came to the bedroom to serve Yuwen Lian.

The candlelight was bright, and the hardworking Yuwen Lian had just recovered a little, so he was eager to deal with government affairs.

He smelled a fragrance at the tip of his nose.

Haitang covered her face with a veil, and with her soft hands she boldly took the letter from his hand.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest."

Yu Wen Lian met the woman's charming eyes, but he remained calm and instinctively felt repulsed in his heart.

He doesn't like women who put on makeup like this.

But for the Dragonborn...

"Has Mammy taught you how to serve me in advance?" He glanced at her.

The red lips under the veil said softly: "I have been taught everything. I will serve your majesty well."

Yu Wenlian said "hmm" softly.

The curtains were removed, Haitang took off her coat, and knelt on both sides of Yuwen Lian's body.

"Your Majesty..." She stroked the man's lean chest, a gleam in her eyes.

The room was filled with beauty and the warmth seemed to be rising.

Yu Wenlian closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a cold light seemed to flash before his eyes.

"Dog Emperor, prepare to die!" came the woman's sharp voice.

Yu Wenlian suddenly opened his eyes and saw the sharp blade stabbing towards his body.

And the woman sitting on him had burning hatred in her eyes.

Yu Wenlian reacted very quickly, pushing the woman away and then rolling to the ground, "Someone come! There's an assassin!"

"Prepare to die!" The woman reacted quickly and pounced on Yuwen Lian on the ground again.

However, at this moment, the guards guarding outside the hall broke in.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing the critical situation, one of the guards threw the sword in his hand towards the woman.

The sword went straight through the woman's body.

"Ah——" Before the woman could dodge, her eyes widened and she fell to the ground.

However, before she died, she still stared at Yuwen Lian unwillingly with a pair of hateful eyes.

Wang Yun rushed forward and helped Yuwen Lian up. Yuwen Lian staggered towards the woman, bent down and pulled off her veil.

The woman died with her eyes open.

However, Wang Yun exclaimed: "This... isn't this the niece of the former emperor's Concubine Lan?"

Yu Wenlian's eyes gradually turned cold, "You said she was that Qin Yueliu."

"Yes, I have seen her before." Wang Yun was puzzled, "Your Majesty, you ordered her to be executed before, why is she not dead now?"

Not only did he not die, he even dared to assassinate the emperor.

"Feed her body to the dogs and then investigate thoroughly how she got into the palace." Yuwen Lian held his forehead and said fiercely.

It seems that there are still people in this palace who hate him to the core.

Since Qin Yueliu was able to hide among the palace maids and sneak into the Qiankun Palace, the rest of the palace maids probably can't stay either.

...

The next day, the palace maids who had just been selected to enter the Qiankun Palace a few days ago were expelled again.

It’s because ever since he fell ill, Yu Wenlian has become more wary.

But the issue of the Dragonborn remains unresolved.

He thought about it for a long time, and only one figure came to his mind.

——That night, Yuwen Lian ordered Wang Yun to bring Zhao Ge to the bedroom.

Zhao Ge suddenly felt something was wrong and went to meet Yuwen Lian with a nervous heart.

As soon as she arrived at the palace, she tried her best to calmly say, "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"

Yuwen Lian glanced at her uneasy expression and said, "Don't be so scared. If I wanted to force you to do something, I wouldn't just lock you up."

"...Yes." Zhao Ge really wanted to retort to him. Does being locked up against their will not count as coercion?

"Then what is the important matter that your majesty summoned you for today?"

Yuwen Lian didn't say anything immediately, but gave Wang Yun a look. Wang Yun understood and called Xiao Yanzi out.

There were only two of them left in the hall.

"I won't play tricks on you anymore, let's get straight to the point." Yu Wenlian looked at her and asked bluntly, "I need a eldest son to stabilize my kingdom. Are you willing to help me?"

Zhao Ge looked confused. He must have found the wrong person for this matter.

"It is understandable that your majesty wants the prince to be with you, but how can I help?"

After he finished speaking, he met Yu Wenlian's meaningful eyes and immediately realized something.

Wait, he wants to...?

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not. How can a commoner like me become the mother of the emperor's eldest son?" Zhao Ge was panic-stricken and kowtowed to refuse.

"If Your Majesty wants, there must be many women of noble birth willing to give birth to your eldest son! I...I am really not worthy."

Yu Wenlian listened to her quietly, leaning back, his eyes somewhat obscured by the shadows.

Zhao Ge didn't dare to look up, she could only see his hands on his knees, playing with walnuts.

Time seemed to have stood still.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke: "Zhao Ge, I have already lowered my stance and asked for your help. You really shouldn't reject me like this."

Zhao Ge bit her lip nervously, "Your Majesty, I am a humble woman..."

"Tell me, you have Marquis Wu'an in your heart, so you rejected me, right?" he interrupted her.

Zhao Ge was shocked and his tongue was tied. He said quickly, "No!"

"That's the doctor, Pei Yu?"

"Of course not!" Zhao Ge's back was covered in cold sweat, "I just feel unworthy. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Oh?" Yuwen Lian was still playing with the walnut: "No matter what the reason is, Zhaoge, you have rejected me again and again, which really embarrasses me."

"..."

Zhao Ge closed his eyes: "So what does your majesty mean?"

"I give you two choices. First, give birth to my eldest son. After that, whether you want to stay in the palace as a concubine or leave the palace freely, I will allow you."

He said with an unquestionable tone, "Second, you can reject me, but you will never be free again in your life. Your family will also be implicated. I mean what I say."

Zhaoge's heart gradually grew cold, and his hands, which were supporting him on the ground, were digging into the ground tightly.

How to do?

Am I really going to lose my freedom, be trapped in that small courtyard for the rest of my life, and become a burden to my aunt and the others?

But how could she accept giving birth to a child for Yu Wenlian...
