Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

Jian Wu raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yao. This time, he did not look away, but stared at Xiao Yao steadily. "Your Majesty, do you want me to manage this country well?"

"Yes."

Jian Wu choked up. He looked at Xiao Yao holding the things she wanted to give him in her hands, and looked at her again, "Subordinate, is this alright?"

The Emperor wants him to live—

Seeing Xiao Yao's lips slightly pursed, and not knowing what she was thinking, Jian Wu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "This subordinate only knows how to be the emperor's subordinate, but not very good at being the emperor—"

At least, before he found the emperor, he was a terrible emperor.

Xiao Yao smiled and personally handed him the imperial edict and jade seal, then helped him up.

This time, she didn't just offer a perfunctory support; she genuinely pulled him up.

In that instant, she had already let go of his hand.

It's been a very long time since Jianwu's heart felt so warm.

He looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Your subordinate will certainly, certainly obey His Majesty's decree."

"From now on, you must get used to referring to yourself as '朕' (Zhen, the imperial emperor)."

Jian Wu opened his mouth, then smiled and said, "Your subordinate will remember."

Xiao Yao nodded, then nodded to Steward Zhou.

Steward Zhou nodded, picked up the whisk, and hurried away.

Jian Wu looked at the imperial edict and the jade seal in his hand, then at Xiao Yao, his brows furrowed slightly, his heart filled with unyielding bitterness.

Even if the emperor had the slightest pity for him.

But she never considered taking her into her room.

He was so envious of Lord Rong; all three of them could—

Xiao Yao then gave Jian Wu some political advice and taught him some ways of being a ruler and the art of being an emperor. "In the Imperial Study, you can read those books whenever you have time. I have made annotations on them all."

"Personally annotated by the Emperor?"

"Yes."

Jian Wu knelt down again, "Your Majesty, I thank you."

"I told you to get up. As an emperor, your knees can't be so weak!"

"Your subordinate only kneels to Heaven and Earth, and to the Emperor."

Xiao Yao glanced at him; his downcast and meek appearance made him look rather pitiful.

Looking at the white clouds drifting in the sky, she told Jian Wu about Zhang Zhao's involvement in Shunzhou Prefecture and the story of the Fulai Inn owner's family. "If you want to find him, then go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, your subordinate—"

After a long while, there was still no sound.

Xiao Yao looked at Jian Wu.

Jian Wu pursed his lips and said after a long while, "He is no longer a close friend of his subordinates."

Are we no longer close friends?

Back in the Cangyun Kingdom, Jian Wu and Zhang Zhao were recognized as good brothers in the Dark Guard Camp!

Jian Wu didn't know what Xiao Yao was thinking, but when the Emperor was willing to listen to him, he spoke his true feelings to her.

"From the moment he cooperated with Chen Qingshan to bring us into this world through a blood sacrifice, he ceased to be my friend!"

If it weren't for Chen Qingshan.

If it weren't for Zhang Zhao.

Where is all of this?

If he were in the Cangyun Kingdom, even if he didn't become the emperor's attendant, he could still spend his life in some place in the Cangyun Kingdom, guarding the one he loved.

Instead of what it is now, he has become a thorn in the emperor's side!

Hearing Jian Wu say this, Xiao Yao frowned slightly.

As expected, Jianwu was also unwilling to come here.

The things that happened here at the beginning were not within their control!

After a stick of incense.

Chief Steward Zhou brought over Chief Steward Li, who used to be Jian Wu's personal eunuch.

Upon seeing the two, Chief Steward Li immediately knelt down, saying, "This servant greets His Majesty and the Fifth Prince."

Xiao Yao said, "Get up quickly. In the future, you will be the one to serve Jian Wu."

Steward Li nodded. He didn't understand why the Empress always called him Master Jianwu, and even when she conferred the title of King, she named him the Fifth Prince.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys." Chief Steward Li kowtowed in response.

Xiao Yao looked at Jian Wu and said, "If there is anything else you need help with, tell me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Xiao Yao nodded slightly and left with Steward Zhou and the guards.

Jian Wu bowed respectfully to see Xiao Yao off.

Only after she had walked far away and he could no longer see her did he look at Steward Li kneeling beside him.

This person was probably the one who cared about him the most in this world!

Jian Wu went over and helped Steward Li up. "How have you been these days?"

"You lackey, you lackey—"

When Chief Steward Li couldn't speak, he started sobbing. Looking at the former emperor who had treated him so gently, his heart was lashed out and utterly broken.

The emperor before us is clearly a talented man!

But he gave the throne to that woman!

"This servant is well."

"That's good."

Manager Li pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "What do you mean by 'good'?"

Unless the emperor becomes emperor again—

Just then, he suddenly saw the imperial edict in Jian Wu's hand. The edict itself wasn't important; what mattered was that the box looked just like the box that held the imperial seal.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Jian Wu, holding the imperial seal, smiled and said, "His Majesty personally handed it to me."

"Your Majesty? Is the Imperial Seal inside?"

"Ah."

"His Majesty personally handed the Imperial Seal to you?"

"Yes."

"What, what does she mean? And this imperial edict?"

Jian Wu opened the imperial edict and showed it to Steward Li.

After seeing the contents, Steward Li was completely dumbfounded. "Great, great, great!" All the hardships have finally come to an end!

As he spoke, Steward Li wiped away tears again!

"But, but why would the Emperor do this?" Chief Eunuch Li suddenly realized that she had taken the throne and managed it quite well.

Jian Wu said, "I'll have a lifetime to tell you slowly."

"what?"

Jian Wu smiled, then turned and headed towards the Imperial Observatory, carrying the imperial edict and the jade seal.

Steward Li quickly followed, saying, "From now on, this servant will serve Your Highness. Wherever Your Highness goes, this servant will go. I will never be separated from Your Highness!"

"it is good."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind."

"If you think it's good, then it's good..."

After Xiao Yao returned to the Imperial Palace, she saw Xie Yun Chu practicing boxing in the back garden.

She watched with a smile for a long time.

After Xie Yun Chu withdrew his fist, he walked to her side and asked, "Want to keep watching?"

"You knew I was watching?"

Xie Yun Chu nodded, "Mm."

Xiao Yao took a deep breath and saw someone hand her a clean handkerchief. She took it first and then raised her hand to wipe Xie Yun Chu's sweat. "Don't watch anymore, take a rest."

Xie Yun Chu felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he watched her wipe his sweat. He took Xiao Yao's hand and held it to wipe his sweat.

Then he said, "You went to see Jian Wu?"

"Ah."

"He seems to know he can't go back," Xie Yun Chu said.

“He knew,” Xiao Yao replied.

Xie Yun Chu looked at Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao said, "When I gave him the imperial edict and the imperial seal, he only asked me if I thought he was capable of being the emperor, but he didn't say anything else."

After a pause, Xiao Yao continued, "Perhaps, even if he didn't know he couldn't go back, he didn't intend to go back."
