Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Lin Yiwan immediately stepped forward to check his pulse and found that his breathing was extremely weak.

She asked in shock, "Uncle, are you hurt?"

The King of Wu shook his head: "No, I was starved. I've been imprisoned in a dark room for the past few days and haven't eaten a single grain of rice!"

After a moment of silence, he looked at Zhan Miao again: "Little Miao, please forgive Min Yue. She didn't mean to hurt you. If you want to blame someone, blame your great-uncle!"

Zhan Miao frowned involuntarily. She didn't believe Min Yue was innocent; she always felt that Min Yue was putting on an act to deceive her great-uncle.

She pursed her lips and remained silent, when she saw Min Yue quickly walk up to her and say, "Miss Zhan, I kowtow to you and apologize. Please forgive me!"

After saying that, she knelt on the ground.

Zhan Miao quickly reached out to help her up: "Since you are innocent, then I will no longer hold a grudge against you. You don't need to kowtow to me anymore!"

Seeing her like this, King Wu couldn't help but laugh: "It would be best if you could put aside your past grievances. The Fate Master is dead, and Yue'er will no longer have to live in fear!"

After saying that, he fainted.

The Holy Maiden was startled and immediately instructed Lin Yiwan to administer acupuncture to the King of Wu.

Meanwhile, the Li Kingdom's court was in chaos due to the Heavenly Mandate Master's usurpation of power.

Min Ao took charge of the overall situation and reassured the people.

About five days later, the King of Wu finally recovered his health.

He called the Holy Maiden and Zhan Yan's family over and said, "Sister, Zhan Yan, I have something to tell you!"

Suddenly realizing something, the saintess immediately stopped her, saying, "Don't tell us. We have other things to do. You should focus on getting better!"

After saying that, she pulled Zhan Yan away quickly.

King Wu couldn't help but smile wryly: "Sister, you must hear this. I want to marry Min Yue and make her the Queen of Li Kingdom!"

As soon as King Wu finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

The Holy Maiden was the first to regain her senses, her face turning ashen: "Are you insane! Min Yue is a criminal, colluding with rebels and kidnapping Little Miao'er. How can such a woman be the Empress of Li Kingdom? If word gets out, not only will the Wu family lose face, but Li Kingdom will also be ridiculed by the world!"

Zhan Yan was even more furious: "Uncle! You're completely confused! Min Yue is vicious and scheming. Making her empress is like inviting a wolf into the house! If she gains power in the future, she will definitely take revenge on us and even endanger the kingdom of Li!"

The King of Wu, however, remained resolute and shook his head, saying, "My mind is made up. Yue'er saved my life and is now all alone. Making her empress is both to repay her kindness and to give her a legitimate status. As for her past, it was all forced upon her by Min De and was not her own intention."

"Not her true intention?" Zhan Miao couldn't help but speak, her eyes filled with resentment. "Grand-uncle, when she kidnapped me, she was ruthless. If my grandmother hadn't arrived in time, I would have been dead long ago. How can you believe that she was forced into this? Her current show of goodwill towards you might just be an attempt to use you to seize power in Li Kingdom!"

“Little Meow, you are too young to understand people’s hearts.” King Wu sighed. “Yue’er is not bad by nature, but Min De has twisted her mind. I believe that as long as she is given enough love and trust, she will definitely turn over a new leaf.”

Lin Yiwan walked in carrying a bowl of medicine, just in time to hear these words. Her brows furrowed: "Uncle, marriage is a matter of great importance, concerning the fate of the nation and its people. It's not something you can decide alone. Even if you don't care about your own reputation, you must consider the people of Li Kingdom. How can the people be convinced if Min Yue is made empress? How can the court officials agree?"

"I am the king, and my word is law!" King Wu's tone hardened. "Anyone who dares to oppose me will be dismissed from their post!"

The saintess sneered: "Do you think you can silence the gossip of the world with just your words? If you insist on this, I will never acknowledge this marriage, and I will even sever all ties with you!"

King Wu's expression changed; he hadn't expected his elder sister to be so stubborn.

Does she really look down on Yue'er that much?

He subconsciously looked out the window, the image of Min Yue sacrificing herself to save him flashing through his mind, and his resolve hardened: "Even so, I will marry Yue'er. Sister, I know you mean well, but I cannot let her down."

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and a guard rushed in, looking flustered: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Miss Min Yue has committed suicide in the woodshed!"

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly followed the guards to the woodshed. They saw Min Yue lying on the ground, blood streaming from her wrist, a dagger beside her. The King of Wu's pupils constricted, and he rushed over, picking her up, his voice trembling, "Yue'er! Yue'er, wake up!"

Lin Yiwan immediately stepped forward to check her pulse, and after a moment breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright, she just lost too much blood, she's still breathing. Quick, get some wound medicine!"

After some treatment, Min Yue finally opened her eyes slowly. She looked at the King of Wu, her eyes filled with tears: "Your Majesty, please don't turn against everyone for my sake. I am not worthy of you, nor can I be your queen. Please let me go!"

The King of Wu held her tightly, his voice firm: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense! I must marry you, and no one can stop me!"

The saintess watched this scene with a flash of disgust in her eyes. She had a feeling that Min Yue's suicide was yet another carefully orchestrated charade. It seemed this turmoil was only going to escalate.

Min Yue's "suicide" charade spread throughout the Prime Minister's residence within two days, and even faintly reached the imperial court.

The King of Wu stayed by her bedside without changing his clothes, feeding her medicine and wiping her body. He was extremely humble, and his eyes were full of tenderness as if he was truly held back by this "deep affection".

The Holy Maiden was so angry that she ignored the King of Wu for several days. On this day, she could no longer contain herself and barged into Min Yue's residence with Zhan Miao.

At that moment, Min Yue was leaning against the headboard, and Wu Guojun was carefully peeling an orange for her. When the two of them came in, Min Yue subconsciously shrank behind Wu Guojun, her eyes filled with fear, just like a frightened little rabbit.

"Keep acting, keep acting." The Holy Maiden said coldly, "Min Yue, do you think you can get everyone to give in and let you become the Queen of Li Kingdom with this self-inflicted injury?"

Min Yue's lips trembled, and tears welled up instantly: "Aunt, I didn't mean to. I really feel that I am not worthy of the king. I don't want the king to turn against you because of me, and I don't want to drag him down." As she spoke, she reached out to touch the wound on her wrist, but was stopped by the King of Wu.

"Sister, please stop pressuring her." King Wu held Min Yue in his arms, his tone tinged with impatience. "Yue'er has already suffered so much. Who among you understands the grievances she carries?"

"We don't understand?" Zhan Miao stepped forward, her eyes sharp and cold. "All we know is who kidnapped me, who held a dagger to my neck and demanded to know the whereabouts of the national seal! Grandfather, you've been fooled by her appearance! She's not a weak and pitiful person at all; her scheming is even deeper than Min De's!"
