Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 30: Heart-to-heart talk between father-in-law and son-in-law

"Your Excellency is absolutely right. I am well aware of the interests involved, which is why I wanted you to help me analyze it."

Leng Wuqin was obviously very surprised by Leng Qingyi's words. He really didn't expect that the emperor would really listen to him.

"Your Majesty, may I see the assassins who were captured alive?"

"Naturally."

Leng Wuqin was even more puzzled. The emperor might have listened to him because what he said made sense, but why would he let him see such an important witness so easily? Wasn't he afraid that he might do something wrong?

The Prime Minister, who usually kept his emotions secret, rarely showed a puzzled expression.

"Prime Minister, you are on the side of Dongxia, right?"

Leng Wuqin was still wondering what the emperor wanted to do when he heard these incoherent words. When he realized what the emperor was asking, his mind suddenly became clear.

Yes, no matter how many shortcomings their young emperor has, he is devoted to serving the country and the people. It's just that his expectations have always been too high. How can we expect a prince who just came out of the cold palace to be perfect?

Thinking of this, Leng Wuqin slumped to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, since I embarked on this path of imperial examinations, I have had only one belief in my heart. That is to establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity."

"Okay, father-in-law, please get up quickly."

Leng Qingyi kindly stepped forward and helped Leng Wuqin up, then led him to the guest seat and sat down beside him.

Zhongli Yuan also stood up and sat opposite. The situation at this time did not look like a meeting between a king and his subjects, but more like... a family chatting about daily life.

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. There is a difference between the ruler and his subjects."

"Alright, father-in-law, we're family now, so let's forget about all the formalities. I think what you want to know most is why you received the news that Concubine Yi was assassinated and seriously injured, but now Concubine Yi is standing before you alive."

Leng Qing had noticed it early on. Although the Prime Minister didn't say anything, he had already glanced at Zhongli Yuan several times.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I really want to know."

"My beloved concubine."

Zhongli Yuan nodded and pushed open the screen not far away.

Leng Wuqin looked up and saw that the man's face was at least 70% similar to his own precious daughter.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Leng Wuqin looked at the person on the bed and then at Concubine Yi standing beside him. He was a little unsure which one was his daughter.

After all, he hasn't seen his daughter since she became smart.

"My dear, let your father-in-law see it."

Zhongli Yuan obediently took a wet handkerchief and gently wiped off the makeup on An Er's face.

Only then did Leng Wuqin see clearly that the person on the bed had nothing in common with his daughter except for their facial shape.

"This……"

"It is true that Concubine Yi of Zhongcui Palace was seriously injured yesterday, but it was not your daughter but my secret guard."

Having said that, Zhongli Yuan put on the eunuch uniform he wore when he went to court yesterday.

Leng Wuqin had nothing to understand after reading it. No wonder he always felt that the little eunuch's eyes were very familiar when he attended court yesterday.

On second thought, he was horrified. It was unacceptable for the harem to interfere in politics in any dynasty. How could his daughter be so bold?

Seeing Leng Wuqin stand up and about to kneel down again, Leng Qingyi raised his hand and pushed him back.

"Don't worry, my father-in-law, I'm sure you're well aware of my situation. Plus, I'm truly in love with Qingyi. To be honest, I haven't favored any of the women in the harem. Qingyi used to be so innocent, but she suddenly became very clever after hitting her head a few days ago. Let Qingyi explain the details to you."

Zhongli Yuan pretended to be shy and looked at Leng Qingyi before speaking to Leng Wuqin with blushing cheeks.

"Dad, daughter, I have embarrassed you in the past."

Leng Wuqin couldn't bear to see his daughter blaming herself.

"Niuniu, what are you talking about? No matter what, you are still my baby."

"My daughter used to feel confused and dazed, but that day, when she accidentally knocked her head, she suddenly felt much clearer. In the past, my daughter's admiration and dependence on the emperor might have been that of a younger girl looking at her older brother, but after she came to her senses, I realized that she truly loves the emperor."

"You kid, you're such a grown-up, how can you not be ashamed?"

Leng Wuqin glanced at the emperor beside him awkwardly.

Why does he feel that his daughter is not as good as she was before? Now she keeps saying such vicious words.

"It's okay. Qingyi and I are not shy people. We just say what we want to say."

"It's like this, Dad. I know the emperor is in a difficult situation right now, so I'm thinking about whether I can help him."

"You are such a fool, how can you go to the imperial court? If you want to help the emperor, give birth to a son or daughter as soon as possible to strengthen the foundation."

"Dad, you said your daughter has no shame. What are you talking about?"

Leng Wuqin felt quite uncomfortable seeing his daughter acting like a little girl.

The baby that I raised with great effort was taken away by a pig.

"Your Majesty, my daughter doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, so why are you fooling around with her?"

"It's okay. You know I came from the cold palace and don't care much about these rules and etiquette. Moreover, Qingyi is the only one in the harem who is sincere to me. I trust her, so I brought her to the court to see the complexity of officialdom. I am also very glad that I brought Qingyi to the court yesterday. If Qingyi had stayed in Zhongcui Palace yesterday, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Hearing this, Leng Wuqin also felt extremely scared. He had heard about the injuries of Dong Yu and Qiu Yue. If his own daughter was in Zhongcui Palace at that time, how much suffering would she have suffered?

Thinking of this, Leng Wuqin shifted his gaze to An Er lying on the couch.

"Your Majesty, that girl is my daughter's savior and mine as well. If you need any medicinal herbs, please let me know. I will do my best to help you."

"Alas, her condition is a bit complicated, and it will take some time for her to wake up. During this time, I would like to trouble my father-in-law to instruct her to cooperate with me. She is obviously vengeful towards the Prime Minister's Mansion for using such a heavy hand against Qingyi. Although it is not very safe to be around me, a small eunuch is certainly not as eye-catching as Concubine Yi."

Leng Wuqin thought for a long time, well, he only has this one daughter, what else can he do if he doesn't help his son-in-law more?

The father-in-law and son-in-law talked for a long time until Leng Wuqin finished his lunch in the palace and walked out of the palace with a sad face.

After sending Leng Wuqin away, Leng Qingyi took Zhongliyuan to the dungeon under the Yangxin Palace, which was completely under the control of Leng Qingyi.

Leng Qingyi was very satisfied when he saw that only five of the assassins captured yesterday were left alive.

It seems that the punishment was very severe, and even several specially trained assassins were killed.

When they saw Leng Qingyi coming, the five survivors glared at her angrily.

"An San, if his eyes are wide open, dig out his eyeballs and stuff them into his mouth."

One of the two people who were pointed at glared at the two people who came over fiercely, while the other was cursing.
