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

Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation: "You are not allowed to go with her. She has lived her life in a daze, and now she wants to take you away too? What right does she have? You are the child I raised. If she dares to take you, she'll have to ask me if I agree!"

Ye Li coughed softly, his lips turning even paler.

Zhan Xuan stepped forward to comfort him: "Ali, take good care of your injuries. I'll go and investigate the real mastermind behind Aqiang's assassination attempt, and then I'll bring you out of the dungeon!"

Ye Li nodded, watching him turn and walk away quickly.

Lin Yiwan sat down beside him and said, "Ali, you're a good kid. You should know very well that the road you're on with Axuan is destined to be difficult!"

Ye Li squeezed her eyes shut, and tears slowly fell.

He murmured softly, "Madam Hou, I'm sorry!"

Lin Yiwan said helplessly, "You don't need to apologize, and you did nothing wrong. I've raised you since you were little, and in my heart, you are just as important as Ah Xuan. So, I don't object to you two being together, but no matter what, you have to consider the bigger picture!"

Ye Li looked at her helplessly: "Madam, what do you want Ah Li to do?"

Lin Yiwan whispered in his ear, "Persuade Zhan Xuan to consummate his marriage with A-Qiang. Only then can we leave Liguo with peace of mind!"

Ye Li's face flashed with intense struggle; he was somewhat unsure if he could do it.

After all, Boss Xuan is so stubborn!

Perhaps Lin Yiwan sensed his predicament, because she quickly said, "If you don't want to persuade me, you don't have to force yourself!"

Ye Li shook his head: "Madam Hou, it's not that I don't want to persuade him, I'm just afraid that Elder Xuan won't listen, and that will disappoint you!"

Lin Yiwan smiled wryly: "I won't be disappointed. All we can do now is try our best and leave the rest to fate!"

Ye Li replied weakly, "Alright, I will definitely do my best to persuade him!"

After Lin Yiwan's treatment, Ye Li's injuries gradually improved.

Meanwhile, Zhan Xuan also discovered the mastermind behind it all. It turned out to be an assassin hired by a powerful family, who attempted to kill the Queen and Ye Li with a double kill plan.

Zhan Xuan's swift and decisive annihilation of the Chu clan brought considerable peace to the imperial court.

Ye Li was taken out of prison and moved into the Imperial Preceptor's Palace.

When Zhan Xuan came to visit him, he bowed respectfully to Zhan Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you!"

Zhan Xuan reached out and helped him up, his eyes softening with tenderness: "Get up quickly, your wound hasn't healed yet, why are you performing such a grand ceremony?" As he spoke, he reached out to touch his forehead.

Ye Li gently avoided his gaze, then looked up at him, her eyes clear yet carrying an unyielding stubbornness: "Your Majesty, have you gone to visit the Queen?"

Zhan Xuan paused, the gentleness on his face gradually fading, his brows furrowing slightly: "Ali, what do you mean? Are you also like Mother, trying to force me to consummate my marriage with Pang Qiang?"

Ye Li prostrated himself on the ground and pleaded, "You are the king of Li Kingdom, not an ordinary citizen. Aqiang is your lawfully wedded queen, and she is the key to your stability of the kingdom. You can no longer neglect her like this."

Zhan Xuan grasped his hand, his fingertips icy cold: "I don't care about those things, nor do I care about the empire or any assistance. I only care about you."

Ye Li's eyes instantly reddened: "I care about your safety, I care about your throne, and I am very afraid of death. As long as you haven't consummated your marriage with the Queen, those powerful families will want my life!"

He said this almost with a sob in his voice.

Zhan Xuan felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he were being pricked by needles. He held Ye Li tightly, his voice choked with emotion, "Don't talk nonsense! With me here, no one can hurt you!"

"But you can't protect me forever!" Ye Li leaned on his shoulder, tears soaking his dragon robe.

Zhan Xuan suddenly sneered: "Ali, I didn't expect you to become my mother's advocate too. She really won't give up until she gets what she wants!"

Ye Li retorted without hesitation: "But I think she's right. For the sake of the stability of the Kingdom of Li, you must give the Queen a child!"

A fierce struggle flashed in Zhan Xuan's eyes; he was unsure of what to do.

He truly regretted becoming the king of Li Kingdom, for he had been so tightly bound by it.

Looking back, he must have enjoyed his time in the military the most, where no one bound him with worldly constraints.

After much deliberation, he finally spoke with resignation: "Alright, I will keep my promise and give Pang Qiang a child of her own, so that she won't feel lonely in this deep palace!"

Ye Li finally smiled with relief; he had not let Lin Yiwan down.

The next day, news of the king and queen consummating their marriage reached the Min family residence.

Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan both breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter in Li Kingdom had come to an end, and they could return to Shengchao with peace of mind.

Although Zhan Mu always reported good news and not bad news in his letters, how could there really be nothing wrong?

Ultimately, their roots lie in the prosperous dynasty.

The two went to bid farewell to the Holy Maiden and Min Ao. Although they were reluctant to part, they knew they couldn't keep them.

The Holy Maiden held a grand farewell banquet for them, which was attended by almost all the nobles and dignitaries of the entire Kingdom of Li.

Zhan Xuan also brought Pang Qiang with him, and he treated her extremely well.

Lin Yiwan was very satisfied. Whether it was an act or real, she was now at ease.

She specially sent a gift to Pang Qiang, saying it was prepared for Zhan's daughter-in-law.

Pang Qiang liked it very much and immediately asked Zhan Xuan to put it on her wrist.

The dazzling warm jade bracelet made Zhan Xuan momentarily lose his senses.

He subconsciously looked at Ye Li, only to see him drinking with Zhan Miao, looking completely carefree.

Zhan Xuan frowned. Ever since he and Pang Qiang consummated their marriage, he had never visited Ye Li again.

He was waiting for him to apologize, but to his surprise, he completely ignored him and even had the mood to drink.

He was absolutely furious!

With everyone watching, he couldn't very well go over and stop him, so he could only turn to Pang Qiang and say, "Go and tell Ye Li that he's not allowed to drink anymore. I don't want to bring a drunkard back to the palace!"

Pang Qiang curled her lips into a smile and walked towards Ye Li and Zhan Miao.

Both of them had drunk so much that their cheeks were flushed, especially Ye Li, whose eyes were even misty with tears.

Pang Qiang took the wine cup from his hand and said, "Ali, you must not drink anymore. His Majesty is worried about your health!"

Ye Li was stunned for a moment, and after a brief silence, he really didn't touch the wine glass again.

Pang Qiang and Zhan Miao drank together, clinking glasses happily.

After the banquet ended, Zhan Xuan did not return to the palace because Pang Qiang and Ye Li were both very drunk.

He stayed at the Min family mansion, first settling Pang Qiang in before going to Ye Li's courtyard.

As dusk settled, the palace lanterns under the eaves swayed, casting dappled shadows on the ground with their dim yellow light.

Zhan Xuan walked slowly down the long staircase, his expression cold and complex.

As he stepped inside, he was enveloped in a warm, fragrant atmosphere, a stark contrast to the chilly spring air outside.

As soon as he stepped across the threshold, he saw Ye Lizheng leaning against the screen, barely managing to get up. His plain white undergarment made his face appear even paler, and a thin layer of sweat from his forehead slid down his jawline, dripping onto his clothes and spreading into a small wet patch.

"Don't move." Zhan Xuan said in a deep voice, quickly stepping forward to support his swaying body.

When his palm touched Ye Li's slightly cool shoulder and back, he could clearly feel the suppressed trembling beneath his thin body.
