Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Emperor Xia Ming was very excited after receiving the good news. He was secretly happy for a while. Then the eunuch Yuan Chaogong came to report:

"Your Majesty, Lord Xue and several other ministers are still waiting in the Qinzheng Hall to discuss the plague. They have been kneeling in the hall for a long time. Your Majesty, do you want to meet them?"

Upon hearing that those people had not yet gotten up, Emperor Xia Ming's face turned dark.

"These old men, I have already said that if there is no cure, then we should eliminate it. Do you want the epidemic to spread to the capital? I try different methods to pray for a child every day, but I can't come up with a better one. What a bunch of useless people looking for trouble!

Yuan Dynasty, give the order, they can kneel if they want, I am going to Changle Palace, whoever dares to disturb me will be dragged down and chopped off!"

Ever since Xie Jin led his army to leave the capital, Emperor Xia Ming seemed to have liberated his nature and continued to collect various beauties from the people to bring into the palace to indulge in sensual pleasures.

Without the restraint of Prince Rong, the Crown Prince was not in the capital, and the Queen had passed away. No one in the palace dared to criticize him, not even the once-favored Concubine Ru, who dared not say a word. He lived a happy life of wine and women.

He lived a dissolute and extravagant life in the palace, completely ignoring the suffering of the people. He turned a blind eye to the floods suffered by the people in the Central Plains, and turned a deaf ear to the epidemic in Suining, leaving everything to the people below to handle.

Without the emperor's orders, the officials who delegated power enriched themselves, causing the disaster and epidemic to become increasingly serious, until the situation that is difficult to resolve today emerged. Emperor Xia Ming has an unshirkable responsibility.

The court was in turmoil and the people were suffering. The Minister of Personnel Xue Ming could not bear it any longer and made many suggestions, but Emperor Xia Ming did not take it seriously.

In the past, these major events were handled by Prince Rong, and Emperor Xia Ming did nothing, which caused dissatisfaction among the people.

Many refugees were even forced to occupy the mountains and become kings, opposing the imperial court and clamoring to overthrow Emperor Xia Ming.

Emperor Xia Ming did not take these people seriously at all.

The King of Zhenbei, whom he promoted, had an army of 100,000 and the Ministry of War had 50,000. Once Xie Jin died, his hundreds of thousands of Lieyan Army were taken over by the imperial power. If someone rebelled, he would quell the rebellion with an imperial edict. Who would dare to disobey?

The people's hearts are unstable. If Emperor Ming of Xia is allowed to continue to act recklessly, the peace and stability of Daxia for hundreds of years will sooner or later be destroyed in his hands.

Xue Ming and several ministers knelt in the Qinzheng Hall from afternoon to evening trying to meet with Emperor Xia Ming to persuade him.

When the Yuan Dynasty showed up for the third time with difficulties, Xue Ming knew what the result would be.

"Your Majesty still refuses to see me?"

Yuan Chao shook his head helplessly:

"Master Xue, there is no need to wait any longer. His Majesty has already gone to bed. Please take care of yourselves."

Xue Ming sighed in his heart, he knew that even if they knelt and died here today, Emperor Xia Ming would not come to see them.

He was disheartened. Rather than risking his life here in exchange for no change of heart from the emperor, he decided to find other ways to hold on until Prince Rong returned to Beijing to save the collapsing court.

After five days of searching for Xie Jin in Saida City, they found nothing. The army had to move forward. Di Liang and Xie Yan led the army towards Anhuai, the capital of the Karen Kingdom.

There was no longer any protective barrier from Seda to the Kingdom of Anhuai Karen, so the army marched all the way and set up camp ten kilometers outside the city of Anhuai.

Di Liang led a part of the advance team into the capital of Anhuai and captured the emperor of Karen, Tuoba Han.

He arranged the follow-up matters and led his army forward. Suddenly, he saw a tall figure standing on the road ahead.

It was dark at night and Di Liang could not see clearly, so he sent two soldiers to check.

Then the soldiers cheered:

"It's Your Highness Prince Rong, Your Highness Prince Rong, you're back!"

A soldier ran back to report to Di Liang and Xie Yan:

"Your Highness, General Di, the one who appeared in front is His Highness Prince Rong. He is not dead, he is still alive!"

Di Liang's pupils trembled and he looked up at the person in front of him.

Another soldier also shouted excitedly:

"General, it's really His Royal Highness Prince Rong. He's back!"

The man walked towards them slowly. As he walked in the moonlight, the moonlight shone on him, making him seem as if he was shrouded in a layer of silver light, so unreal.

Di Liang saw clearly that it was really Xie Jin!

He jumped off his horse and came to Xie Jin with a look of joy on his face:

"Prince Rong, is it really you?"

Xie Jin's eyes were cold, but his voice was as deep and magnetic as he had heard before:

"General Di, I haven't seen you for a few days. Don't you recognize me?"

Di Liang was overjoyed. He looked Xie Jin up and down, and seeing that he was intact, he couldn't help but laugh happily:

"It really is Prince Rong. Soldiers, our Lord the God of War is back!"

The moment Jiang Qu saw Xie Jin's figure appear, he couldn't contain his excitement and rushed over.

Seeing that his own prince was unharmed, Jiang Qu's eyes were red:

"My lord, you are back."

He always believed that his prince was not dead. He was a god of war, wise and brave, with unparalleled martial arts. How could he die under the interception of just dozens of enemy troops?

His hope was not shattered, the prince was still alive!

When the Flame Army in the rear heard the news that King Rong had returned, they were extremely excited and ran towards Xie Jin, talking excitedly.

When he saw Xie Jin again, Xie Yan's heart tightened and he felt extremely panicked.

Xie Jin is not dead?

Is he still alive?

How could he still be alive if he wasn't poisoned by the Thousand Vipers, for which there is no antidote?

Xie Yan suppressed the shock in his heart without leaving a trace and walked over excitedly like everyone else.

"Eighth Uncle, your nephew has always believed that you are alive, and the soldiers have always held out hope. It is great that you are safe."

Xie Jin looked at Xie Yan indifferently:

"I made you worry."

Xie Yan looked happy, but his heart skipped a beat after hearing his words.

When Dou Hu assassinated Xie Jin, he wanted to prevent him from being suspected and being sent away. Xie Jin should not have guessed that the fall from the cliff was related to him.

Not wanting to expose his cowardice first, Xie Yan forced a smile on his face, pretending to be as genuinely happy as everyone else.

Different from everyone else's first reaction, Dou Hu felt a chill down his spine after confirming that it was Xie Jin who was alive standing in front of him!

The extreme fear that came from his bones made his legs unconsciously weak and unable to move. He stood there with wide eyes in shock, staring at the soldiers talking to Xie Jin.

Even after being poisoned and falling from such a high cliff, Xie Jin could still stand here alive and talk to people?

Is it really not Xie Jin’s ghost that has returned this time?

He was able to survive such a disaster, what kind of devil is he?

Dou Hu wanted to pretend to be surprised and go over, but his legs would not obey him.

Xie Jin's captivating eyes looked at him, and Dou Hu felt as if his acupuncture points had been pressed, unable to move, until Xie Jin slowly walked in front of him and asked him with a smile:

"General Dou, seeing that I am still alive, are you so shocked that you can't even speak?"

Dou Hu's psychological defenses collapsed. Unable to bear the tremendous pressure, he fell to his knees in front of Xie Jin.
