After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

Chapter 556 Ten Years

Nanyang Yao and Li Shiliu spent the whole night together in love. When the sky just turned pale the next morning, Nanyang Yao climbed out of the bed carefully and tiptoed, fearing that he would wake up Li Shiliu who had been tired all night.

Nanyang Yao put on his clothes gently, but his eyes could not move away from Li Shiliu's peaceful sleeping face. He stared at her infatuatedly, his eyes full of attachment and reluctance.

Finally, Nanyang Yao slowly leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead. Then, as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to pick up the light yellow bellyband that he had left obvious marks on before, and put it into his arms skillfully and carefully.

On the contrary, after a whole night of tossing and turning, Li Shiliu slept until the sun was high in the sky before she woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes and found that Nanyang Yao was no longer beside her, she felt a little disappointed, but she also understood that he must have left in a hurry early in the morning because of his busy work.

Thinking of this, Li Shiliu couldn't help but smile slightly and hugged the quilt beside her tightly. She raised her hand and gently patted her slightly red cheeks, as if to dispel the remaining shyness. Then, she stretched out her arms lazily and yawned loudly, as cute as a kitten waking up. Then, she quickly turned over and got out of bed, not daring to delay any longer, and hurriedly started to work for the day.

Time passed slowly like flowing water, and the days passed uneventfully. In the capital of Yuan, except for those ambitious princes who were secretly competing and ready to make a move, everything else seemed calm, like a mirror.

Finally, when his son turned 100 days old, Nanyang Yao, who was originally strong, had lost a lot of weight! However, although his face looked a little haggard, his bright eyes still sparkled, and his temperament became more calm, peaceful, and introverted. All these changes showed everyone the fruitful results of his trip.

When everyone saw the box after box of heavy silver in the national treasury, Emperor Jiade, who was always known for his frugality, unexpectedly became extremely generous.

He just waved his hand heroically and distributed official positions and titles wholesale. For a moment, there was thunderous cheers in the court and everyone had a happy look on their face.

Among them, the Imperial Commissioner and Dali Temple Minister Meng Qisui was granted the title of Earl of Ci'en for his outstanding achievements. At the same time, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice Nanyang Yao also won the emperor's special favor for his outstanding talents and fair and strict law enforcement. The emperor personally ordered him to be transferred to the palace to serve as a teacher for the princes, mainly teaching legal knowledge.

When this appointment was announced, all the civil and military officials in the court were amazed, knowing that this white jade favorite, Lord Nanyang Yao, would have a bright future from now on.

Time flies, and ten years have passed. The current Emperor Jiade is nearly sixty years old, but he is still strong and energetic, and his aura of majesty is even stronger than before. He is confident that he can at least rule the country for another ten years.

However, Emperor Jiade has been picking and choosing among the adult princes, but has never been able to find a satisfactory heir to the throne. Therefore, the position of crown prince has remained vacant until now.

Seeing this situation, the princes who felt they still had hope of ascending the throne naturally could not suppress their inner restlessness and ambition. The open and covert fighting among each other continued to escalate, even to the point of being almost white-hot. It was truly a bloody fight, with chaos everywhere.
