Prince Tuoyan, Prince Lieyang and others quickly stood up and no longer paid attention to where the emperor was going.

Lan Qingwu sat on the bed with her arms around her knees, staring at the gorgeous flowers on the table opposite. They were picked by the emperor from the stone wall specifically for her. A special potion was added to the glass bottle, which made the swaying flowers bloom more brilliantly and last longer.

When Emperor Shenwu entered the bedroom, he saw Lan Qingwu staring at the flowers in a daze, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Lan Qingwu came back to her senses and knelt down to pay her respects. Emperor Shenwu sat down beside the bed and took her into his arms: "What's wrong? Didn't you go out to see the flowers?"

Lan Qingwu looked at the emperor's formal dragon robe and whispered, "My Lord, can I stay here for the rest of the days?"

Thinking of the scene of stabbing King Kang, she felt a little scared but did not regret it. However, she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and fell into the emperor's arms.

The Emperor was also startled when he saw Lan Qingwu crying silently. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Lan Qingwu's cheeks, and teased him lightly: "Thick tears are like pearls, they can't be easily shed. Are you deliberately trying to make me feel heartbroken? Tell me, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lan Qingwu shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I dreamt that the snake was chasing me. I was very scared."

Emperor Shenwu's eyes darkened for a moment: "Then stay here with me and don't go anywhere else. Stop crying, okay?"

Lan Qingwu nodded in the arms of Emperor Shenwu. Emperor Shenwu stroked her black hair with one hand, but his expression seemed thoughtful.

After pacifying Lan Qingwu, Emperor Shenwu returned to the table and soon asked all the ministers and foreign guests to leave.

When no one was left in the tent, Emperor Shenwu looked unpredictable and said, "Go and summon Wei Yanting!"

Wei Yanting was feeling uneasy, but when he heard the emperor's summons, he quickly calmed himself down and entered the inner tent.

He did not embellish anything and recounted everything he had seen and heard in detail.

Emperor Shenwu's face became increasingly cold, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes. After Wei Yanting finished his report, Emperor Shenwu had already stood up suddenly. Wei Yanting just felt that something was wrong when he saw the emperor walk to the tent and take down the sword.

Wei Yanting's thoughts suddenly changed. He knelt before the emperor, blocking his way. "Your Majesty, please reconsider! All the civil and military officials of the six kingdoms are here..."

Emperor Shenwu walked around Wei Yanting without saying a word and strode out of the tent. The murderous aura that was restrained in his body burst out layer by layer, like a god of death, and no one dared to look at him.

Prince Ding, who was trembling with anxiety outside the inner tent, saw the emperor in such a state. He no longer cared about anything else and ran to the emperor and knelt hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you cannot touch him at this time!"

Emperor Shenwu's expression was icy: "Why, you want to plead for him?" He did not stop and walked a long way.

Prince Ding gritted his teeth, rushed forward and hugged Emperor Shenwu's legs tightly. Emperor Shenwu finally stopped and looked at Prince Ding with eyes as sharp as frost.

Prince Ding also looked up at Emperor Shenwu, "Your Majesty, this is for Your Majesty!"

Prince Ding's eyes gradually became firm. "If you kill Prince Kang now, how will your majesty be viewed by your clan members? How will the civil and military officials, and the people of the six kingdoms, think of you? Prince Kang has done nothing wrong on the surface, but how will the people of the world view you? How will they talk about you? You can't even tolerate a brother without any ambition!"

"I am a lonely man! I don't care what the world thinks of me!"

Prince Ding roared in a low voice, "What about her? What about the noble lady? Your Majesty, how will the people of the world view her? Will she still be able to survive? Your Majesty, even for the noble lady, you cannot take action at this moment for this reason!"

If Prince Kang was killed by the emperor in this way, the royal family would definitely intervene. There must be a reason to kill Prince Kang. If any of his words were related to Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi would have no way to survive.

The hand holding the sword slowly dropped from the Emperor, and the murderous aura around him gradually dissipated. Wei Yanting walked over and knelt before the Emperor without saying a word. Li Xiang was so anxious that he could only wipe the sweat from his forehead behind the Emperor. He was already terrified after hearing just a few words!

After what seemed like an eternity, the voice of the Emperor Shenwu rang out again: "Wei Yanting, you must personally lead your men to guard Prince Kang. Do not allow him to leave the camp. After returning to the Imperial City, hand him over to the Imperial Clan Office!"

The emperor turned and walked into the imperial camp. Wei Yanting hurriedly accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Prince Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief. If only... things could turn around. Then he thought of Prince Kang, and his expression darkened again.

Wei Yanting led his troops to surround King Kang's tent. King Kang looked at the people at the entrance of the tent and turned back to his bedroom. His concubine Liu had already applied medicine to his wound, but seeing King Kang's ugly face, she did not dare to ask how he was injured.

Prince Ding rushed into the tent, grabbed Prince Kang without a word, and rained down his fists. Prince Kang hurriedly dodged Prince Ding's fists and said, "You are crazy!"

Prince Ding glared at the frightened Concubine Liu and said, "Get out!" Concubine Liu's hands and feet went limp and she crawled out.

Prince Ding looked at Prince Kang again and said with gritted teeth, "I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time!" Then he beat Prince Kang hard again.

Wei Yanting was listening to the noise at the entrance of the tent, standing still as a mountain. If possible, he would also like to beat King Kang up.

Prince Kang was uneducated and extravagant, and he was also injured, so he was no match for Prince Ding. He was beaten to death, his face was all bruised, and he accidentally pulled the wound, so he couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Ah!"

Prince Ding stopped panting. "No matter what you're thinking or what you want to do, I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible! Give up on this thought as soon as possible!"

King Kang simply stopped hiding it. He laughed heartily, ignoring the pain: "How is it impossible? As long as Your Majesty treats her coldly..."

Prince Ding said coldly: "Don't dream! She will... not even look at you, and His Majesty will never give up on her!" His Majesty treats Concubine Yi as his legal wife. In time, that will be... But other people don't know, and he can't say it out loud.

Prince Ding stabbed him again: "Hasn't this sword enough to wake you up?"

King Kang's face turned grim, then he lost his temper. "Yes! I was just wishful thinking! See? Even the wounds she inflicted on me felt good. I was even hoping she'd give me another blow!"

Prince Ding couldn't help but throw another punch: "If you keep going this crazy, you'll only kill her! Think carefully, are you going to force her to death? And then have His Majesty order you to be killed! Don't forget your wives, concubines, children, and your mother in the harem!"

After hearing this, King Kang finally calmed down, leaned dejectedly on the edge of the bed, and said no more.

Lan Qingwu was currently receiving the Emperor Shenwu's favor. The emperor's companionship and gentle treatment made her heart calm, and she gradually became confused and infatuated.

When Lan Qingwu came back to her senses, Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but kiss her lips again: "Did you still dream about that snake?"

Lan Qingwu shook his head: "My husband has always been with me, so I won't dream anymore."

"Even in a dream, you can only dream of me as a dragon." Emperor Shenwu gently touched the tip of her nose.

Lan Qingwu couldn't help but laugh, and she gently kissed the Shenwu Emperor on the lips. The two of them spending time together day and night these past few days had given her the illusion that there was only the two of them, with no one else between them.
