The Poisonous Concubine is alive

Chapter 167 The country is peaceful and the people are safe

Under the rule of Emperor Ye Chenxuan and Empress Liu Yunrou, the Great Xi Kingdom enjoyed peace and prosperity. The Empress's medical skills were renowned, having cured countless difficult and complicated illnesses. However, just as the nation celebrated the Empress's successful development of a miraculous herb that could cure all poisons, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

One day, a sudden, urgent announcement rang through the palace. A mysterious messenger, arriving from afar, brought shocking news: a prince from a neighboring kingdom, having accidentally ingested a highly toxic herb, was critically ill. His only hope lay in the medical skills of Empress Liu Yunrou. However, the messenger made a condition: if the empress could save the prince, the two nations would form a permanent alliance; if she failed, the Great Xi Kingdom would cede a fertile land.

At this critical moment, Queen Liu Yunrou faced a difficult decision. She knew that saving the prince's life depended not only on her life but also on the future of the Great Xi Kingdom. However, just as she was about to depart, an even more shocking secret was revealed—the mysterious messenger was actually Liu Yunrou's long-lost brother, forced into exile by a political conspiracy and now seeking his sister's help.

This unexpected turn of events not only leaves Liu Yunrou feeling complicated, but also plunges the entire palace into a tense atmosphere. Between country and family, how will Liu Yunrou choose? Can her medical skills once again create miracles? This twist undoubtedly adds suspense to the story and captures everyone's attention.

Upon learning this secret, Liu Yunrou was torn between feelings. On the one hand, she cared deeply about her country and understood the importance of this rescue operation; on the other, she was overwhelmed with guilt and longing for her long-lost brother. After a painful struggle, Liu Yunrou decided to personally travel to the neighboring country to rescue the prince. Before leaving, she expressed her determination to Ye Chenxuan and pledged her willingness to bear all consequences. Ye Chenxuan silently watched her, a flicker of worry in his eyes, but ultimately supported her decision.

Liu Yunrou and her medical team embarked on a journey, exhausted by the journey. When she finally arrived at the neighboring palace, she discovered that the situation was far more complicated than she had imagined. The prince had been poisoned by no ordinary toxin, but a rare and unique one, extremely difficult to detoxify. Liu Yunrou was in dire straits, but she refused to give up. With her superb medical skills and unwavering perseverance, she gradually searched for a solution.

As night fell and the lights in the house dimmed, Liu Yunrou and Ye Chenxuan sat on the sofa, enjoying the rare quiet time of the day. They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with love and understanding for each other.

Liu Yunrou said softly, "Chenxuan, what do you think is the most important thing for us as a couple?" Her voice was gentle and thoughtful.

Ye Chenxuan pondered for a moment, then answered seriously: "I think the most important thing is communication and mutual understanding. We all have our own thoughts and emotions, and only through communication can we bring our hearts closer."

Liu Yunrou nodded in agreement. "Yes, I think so. Sometimes, a hug, a look, can be worth a thousand words. But we can't ignore daily communication either. It can help us resolve misunderstandings and face life's challenges together."

Ye Chenxuan held Liu Yunrou's hand and continued, "Trust and respect are the cornerstones of our marriage. I know that no matter what we encounter in life, we can face it together because we trust each other and respect each other's decisions."

Liu Yunrou smiled and responded, "Well, our marriage is like a tree. It needs us to water and fertilize it together so that it can grow more luxuriantly. I love you, Chenxuan, and thank you for your constant companionship and support."

Liu Yunrou said softly, "Chenxuan, what do you think is the most important thing for us as a couple?" Her voice was gentle and thoughtful.

Ye Chenxuan pretended to be serious and answered: "Of course it is your unconditional obedience to me!" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Liu Yunrou pretended to be angry and patted Ye Chenxuan's shoulder gently: "Humph, you wish! I think the most important thing is your unconditional love for me."

Ye Chenxuan smiled and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I'll take care of it all, doting and obedience. But seriously, I think the most important thing is our sense of humor. Look, even quarrels can be turned into jokes."

Liu Yunrou was so amused that she couldn't help laughing: "Yes, with a sense of humor, our life is like adding seasoning, with all the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavors, but without the bitterness."

Ye Chenxuan winked mischievously: "Then let me do all the hard work at home from now on. I promise not to let you suffer."

The conversation between the two continued in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and their hearts became more closely connected in this quiet and humorous night.

After several days of busy state affairs, Liu Yunrou finally rested as night fell. As Empress, she held a heavy responsibility: not only did she have to assist Emperor Ye Chenxuan in handling government affairs, but she also had to take care of the peace and tranquility of the harem. Tonight, with everything finally settled, she returned to her chambers, ready to enjoy a peaceful night.

Ye Chenxuan was already waiting on the dragon bed. He watched Liu Yunrou's tired but graceful steps, and a wave of tenderness surged in his heart. He knew how much Yunrou had worked for the country and the harem, so he decided to give her the warmest comfort this night.

Liu Yunrou gently took off her elaborate palace dress, changed into soft pajamas, and slowly crawled into bed. Ye Chenxuan stretched out his arms and gently embraced her. His embrace was broad and warm, making Liu Yunrou feel extremely safe and relaxed.

Ye Chenxuan said softly: "Yun Rou, you have worked hard these past few days. Let me protect you tonight and let you have a good rest."

Liu Yunrou leaned against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat and feeling his care. A gentle smile appeared on her tired face. She responded, "With you by my side, I have nothing to fear."

The two of them cuddled together quietly, Ye Chenxuan's arms tightly wrapped around Liu Yunrou, as if to shut out all fatigue and worry. On this quiet night, their hearts were connected. Under Ye Chenxuan's rule, the harem, though prosperous, was surprisingly peaceful. Countless beauties and celebrities, adored by the emperor's wisdom, prowess, and devotion, yearned to become part of the harem, even if only as a concubine, to be by his side day and night. However, whenever someone gently offered to add color to the harem, Ye Chenxuan would simply smile and firmly decline.

"I only have one queen in my heart, and she's the only one in my harem." Ye Chenxuan's words revealed an unquestionable determination. His eyes only held the shadow of Liu Yunrou, and there was no room for anyone else. He was not unaware of the expectations in those women's eyes, but he knew even more clearly that his heart had long been given to Liu Yunrou, and there was no room for anyone else.

The court officials discussed this matter widely. Some believed that the emperor's exclusive love was detrimental to the reproduction of the royal family, while others lamented the queen's extraordinary charm, which could attract the emperor's heart. But no matter what, Ye Chenxuan's position never wavered. His harem remained the same, with only Liu Yunrou as his concubine.

This kind of devotion was not only a legend within the imperial harem, but also a popular topic among the common people. Ye Chenxuan and Liu Yunrou's love story became a beloved tale, inspiring countless women to admire and many men to emulate. In this palace filled with temptations, Ye Chenxuan's perseverance became the most moving scene. They fell into a sweet dream together.

Liu Yunrou gently rocked the cradle, and the baby fell asleep peacefully in her arms. Ye Chenxuan came in with a cup of hot milk, and seeing Yunlan's tired but happy expression, he decided to tell her a joke to relax her.

Ye Chenxuan cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Yunlan, do you know why babies are always called 'little angels'?"

Lu Ziyu looked at him curiously and shook his head.

Ye Chenxuan said seriously, "Because they were flying around the house, babbling, but we couldn't understand what they were saying. It was like they were speaking in heavenly language."

Lu Ziyu couldn't help laughing: "Then we have to learn Angel Language quickly, otherwise how can we communicate with our little angels?"

Ye Chenxuan continued, "Another question: Why do babies always cling to their feet?"

Ye Chenxuan smiled and said, "Because they wanted to give me a 'perfect' hug, but unfortunately their arms were too short, so they could only hug me to my feet."

Liu Yunrou smiled even more happily. She teased, "Then we have to help him measure and see how many points his hug can get."

Ye Chenxuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, but I think that no matter how many points we get, our baby's hug is the most perfect."

The two of them took care of the baby and joked around at the same time. The laughter in the room filled the new family with warmth and joy.

Liu Yunrou, the gentle yet resilient queen, had already given birth to five children for Ye Chenxuan. Each was a precious royal bloodline, and the arrival of each child brought countless joy and hope to the palace. Her belly was like fertile soil, nurturing one life after another, and her heart was like a warm harbor, giving each child the deepest love.

Ye Chenxuan's gratitude for Liu Yunrou was overflowing with words. He knew that as a queen, she not only had to manage the affairs of the harem, but also had to endure the hardships of childbirth. Therefore, his respect and love for Yunrou became even deeper. He not only praised her virtue in public, but also took every possible care of her in private, hoping to ease her burden.

Every night, Ye Chenxuan would personally visit the children in the nursery, then return to Liu Yunrou and softly share their stories, their eyes filled with parental love and pride. Ye Chenxuan would often hug Liu Yunrou and gently say, "Yunrou, you are my greatest treasure in this life, the mother of five children, and the queen of my heart."

Liu Yunrou would snuggle in his arms and respond with a smile: "Being able to bear children for you is the greatest happiness in my life."

Their love story not only planted the seeds of love in the hearts of their children, but also set an example of loving couples throughout the country. The laughter of the five children became the most beautiful melody in the palace, and the love between Liu Yunrou and Ye Chenxuan became... In the court, whenever the deeds of Empress Liu Yunrou were mentioned, the ministers were in awe. Even the most resolute and straightforward ministers would speak with a hint of admiration when mentioning the Empress.

"After all, the Empress gave birth to five princes and princesses for the Emperor. This achievement is truly a blessing for our dynasty and the country." An old minister said with emotion, his voice revealing deep respect for the Empress.

Other ministers echoed this sentiment, some saying, "The Empress is not only the mother of the nation, but is also the Empress who gave birth to the most children in our dynasty. This honor is enough to be recorded in history."

Others sighed: "The Empress is able to assist the Emperor in handling state affairs while giving birth. Her wisdom and perseverance are extraordinary."

Even the most serious Imperial Censor could not help but admire her: "The Empress's virtue is a role model for us ministers to emulate, and a model for the harem and even the entire country."

Ye Chenxuan sat on the dragon throne, listening to the ministers' discussions, his heart filled with pride and gratitude for Liu Yunrou. He knew that Yunrou's sacrifices and contributions to him and the imperial family were far beyond what outsiders could imagine. Therefore, while governing the country, he also consistently respected and protected Yunrou, ensuring that she was always in the harem. Outside the Empress's chambers, a guard with an upright figure and a firm gaze always stood. This was Li Mo, the Emperor's confidant and Empress Liu Yunrou's loyal protector. Li Mo had practiced martial arts since childhood and possessed great skills, but his loyalty to the Empress was his most praised virtue.

Whenever the ministers' praises for the empress rang out in the court, Li Mo, even though he was outside the palace, felt a surge of respect for her. He knew that the empress had not only given birth to five children for the country, but also maintained harmony and order within the harem. Such a woman was worthy of his life's protection.

One night, when Empress Liu Yunrou was exhausted from caring for the children, Li Mo heard her sigh softly from outside the door. Though he couldn't enter the palace, the worry was clear on his face. He whispered to himself, "Empress, you've worked so hard for your country and your family. Li Mo is here, willing to protect you and the princes and princesses forever."

When Ye Chenxuan was inspecting the harem, he often saw Li Mo's steadfast figure. He knew the guard's loyalty and therefore trusted him even more. On a chance occasion, Ye Chenxuan said to Li Mo, "Li Mo, your loyalty is as sharp as your sword. I am very relieved to have you protecting Yunrou."

Li Mo knelt on one knee and responded firmly, "Your Majesty, Li Mo's life belongs to you and the Empress. As long as I remain alive, I will protect the Empress and the princes and princesses." This loyalty warmed both Ye Chenxuan and Liu Yunrou's hearts, and became a unique sight within the harem. His position was unshakable. For the sake of eternal legend.
