My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

The emperor had no way to object to such a request and had to approve it.

An Xueluo changed his surname back to his own, inherited the title of Marquis of Wuwei, and stayed in the capital.

Old Madam Shao and Master Shao's family were furious. They thought Shao Xun was not easy to bully, and they thought An Xueluo was easy to bully, so they came to his house and asked for too much.

They had missed out on the title again and again, so it was fine if they didn't get it, but it would be ok to give them more of the family property, right? What he meant was that An Xueluo had taken advantage of them, and Shao Xun was not a member of the Shao family, but had taken advantage of the Shao family for many years, so they should be compensated...

An Xueluo grew up in the An family since he was a child. He worked his way up in the military camp. The bandits in the desert were extremely brutal, but everyone was terrified of him. How could he be easily bullied?

Shao Xun would still go around in circles and talk about saving face, but An Xueluo was simply too lazy to reason with them - after all, he was not familiar with them, and there was no need to reason with them. He was the type who would just draw his sword with a dark face if they disagreed with him.

Where had Old Madam Shao and the others seen such a person? They originally thought that he was easy to bully - relying on the fact that they were from the capital, they looked down on him and thought that he was a barbarian from the border. They thought they were superior and could bully him, so they immediately became scared when they saw the knife.

When Mrs. Shao passed away, Mr. Shao and Mrs. Fu didn't even dare to visit her.

Shao Xun knew his second cousin's temper. When he heard that Old Madam Shao and the others were going to see him, he just watched the show and didn't need to worry about anything else. Sure enough, the facts were just as he expected...

The issue of enthroning a crown prince was put on the agenda again. The Minister of Revenue overruled the majority, saying that Shao Xun had not yet achieved anything and could not convince people. The emperor was in his prime and it would not be too late to bring it up again in a few years. The emperor agreed.

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so obvious, the court officials did not dare to say anything.

Shao Xun was not surprised, but felt sarcastic in his heart.

If the emperor had sincerely wanted to find the son of the late crown prince, he would not have hidden his identity and not appeared for so many years.

What kind of personality does the Emperor have? Is there any need to say more?

Moreover, he had a grudge against the former crown prince. When the former crown prince was alive, he was better than him in every aspect, and he suppressed him to the point of being invisible. The former crown prince committed suicide unjustly, and he inherited the throne. He must have felt happy and proud that he had finally suppressed the former crown prince.

Now that he, the son of the former crown prince, has returned, how could the emperor be really happy? He granted him a mansion but did not mention the title of crown prince or the title of nobility. He knew what he was thinking.

Shao Xun took the initiative to request to go to the northern border for training, and the emperor agreed without hesitation, but ordered the eunuchs in the palace to privately tell Lin Yulan to stay in the capital.

Shao Xun had originally planned to take Lin Yulan with him, but now he had to give up.

"Madam, please stay in the capital with peace of mind. If anyone dares to wrong you, Madam, please send a letter to the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion. Believe me, it won't take long."

Shao Xun wanted to talk but stopped himself, as there were many things he was not comfortable saying.

Lin Yulan felt a little disappointed for no reason. She thought that the matter had been settled, but she didn't expect that complications would arise.

"Take care of yourself......"

The Second Prince hated Shao Xun so much that he sent people to ambush and kill him, but Shao Xun captured them all and sent them to the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple in the capital.

This incident caused a huge uproar. The emperor was angry and anxious, and had to give Shao Xun an explanation. He taught the second prince a severe lesson, made him crazy for three years, and demoted his title to that of a prince.

Concubine Yan was so angry that she spread the news that Lin Yulan had deliberately humiliated and made things difficult for him. After Lin Yulan left the palace, she fell ill. This caused an uproar again. People in the court were talking about it, wondering if the emperor had any intentions. What did the emperor mean? Did he not like the son of the former crown prince at all? Did he never think of appointing the son of the former crown prince as the crown prince?

But, besides him, who else is suitable?

The emperor became even angrier and had to send people to appease Lin Yulan. He rewarded her generously and confined Concubine Yan for ten days as a warning to others.

Lin Yulan closed the door to recuperate, which was a good opportunity for her to avoid seeing outsiders.

The emperor was infuriated by the stupid behavior of his son and concubines, and because of the weather change at that time he caught a cold and fell ill.

This illness may have been caused by mental illness, and it took nearly two months to recover.

The emperor had to admit that he was really old and no longer able to do what he wanted.

One after another, many royal family members were promoted and given important positions, and the relationship between the royal family and the royal family became increasingly close and integrated.

A rebellion broke out in South Vietnam, and the Emperor appointed Prince Li's son as the general. He also sent several rising stars among the royal family to South Vietnam to suppress the rebellion.

At this point, everyone can see clearly what the emperor is thinking...

Lin Yulan lives a secluded life and rarely goes out, and no one invites her to a banquet.

Although Shao Xun has a noble status, the one in power now is the emperor!

No one is so stupid as to offend the emperor who is in power now for the sake of an illusory future.

More than a year later, the son of Prince Li and his group won a great victory and returned triumphantly. The emperor was very pleased and gave him many rewards. At this point, the emperor's intentions were even more obvious!

On this day, someone from the Lin family suddenly came to ask Lin Yulan to go back, saying that her stepmother, Gu, was seriously ill, and they specially asked her to go back to see her.

Ever since Shao Xun's true identity was revealed to the world, Gu regretted and was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Lin Yuwei, who had been calm all along, was no longer calm and also wanted to vomit blood.

Unfortunately, at that time, Lin Yuwei no longer had any status in the Rongguo Mansion. The Rongguo Duke and his wife were completely disappointed in her. She could not make any waves and was still under house arrest in the mansion by the Rongguo Duke's wife on the grounds of recuperation. There was no intention of letting her go.

Lin Yuwei was in despair at this point and could no longer make trouble.

She had to admit it no matter how much she wanted to. In this life, she lost again, and lost completely! Not to mention that she would never have the chance to do anything in this life. Even if she did, could Meng Mingchi still compare with Shao Xun?

No.

This is doomed.

Lin Yuwei just regretted why she didn't listen to her mother in this life, so that she once again walked into a dead end...

Gu was seriously ill, and Lin Yuwei was unable to go back to visit her. Lady Rong knew that this concubine's wife was stupid, vicious, and trouble-making, and she was afraid that she would be used by others. How could she dare to relax until the emperor appointed a crown prince?

Who made Lin Yuwei and Lin Yulan sisters?

Lin Yulan had to go because her stepmother had sent someone to invite her.

She thought Gu was pretending to be sick, but she didn't expect that she was really sick. Her face was pale and she looked like she was dying.

This was the first time Gu had seen her in more than a year.

Lin Yulan never expected that Gu would try to poison her.

She ordered someone to poison the tea, but Lin Yulan always knew that Gu had bad intentions. When Gu took the initiative to ask someone to serve her tea, she didn't think that Gu did this because her status was different from before. She would just be wary.

She refused to drink, and Gu's true nature was revealed, and she asked someone to force her to drink. Fortunately, Shao Xun sent a capable secret guard to her side, who saved her from danger.

Lin Yulan didn't dare to go back to the mansion, so she went out of the city and went to the manor to recuperate, but she actually hid in the manor's secret room. On the same day, someone sent a pigeon to Shao Xun...

The secret guards forced the truth out, and Gu received the secret order from the palace.

It was the emperor who wanted to kill Lin Yulan, so it was natural for him to recall Shao Xun.

Shao Xun went to the northern border and thrived like a fish in water. The emperor regretted it...

Soon, news broke out that the son of Prince Li and his group had lied about their military exploits, killed innocent people and pretended to be traitors, leaving the entire court dizzy.

The rebellion in the south has not been quelled at all.

The son of Prince Li and his entourage withheld military pay and allowed the other party to rob the people's property in exchange for the other party's submission. They thought the other party would keep their word, but unexpectedly the rebels went back on their word, took the benefits, and rebelled again.

At the same time, the emperor's trusted confidant, the Minister of Finance, was reported for corruption, and the evidence was irrefutable, causing chaos in the court again.

Shao Xun returned to the capital again. The court officials asked him to appoint a crown prince, but the emperor was powerless to stop them.

He was forced to issue an edict to officially confer the title.

Shao Xun entered the court forcefully and quickly took control of the situation. The emperor was furious, anxious and resentful, and fell ill again. In less than three months, he finally died.

Shao Xun ascended the throne as emperor, and the dust finally settled.

Faced with his wife who tried to leave and break up with him peacefully, Shao Xun of course refused.

"I am finally qualified to keep you by my side. Please give it a try. If you must leave in the future, I will never stop you."

He spoke sincerely, and Lin Yulan couldn't bear to refuse, so she stayed.

She thought that it would not be too late for her to leave after he had other concubines.

He is an emperor, a gentleman keeps his promise and is not expected to go back on his word.

But who knew that in this life, she would never be able to leave his side again. (The end of the book)
