Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Ever since Leng Qingyi killed the guard, Da Jin has been sitting obediently beside Leng Qingyi.

Tiger's eyes widened when he saw so many people kneeling to this two-legged beast.

Then I saw so many people’s eyeballs being gouged out by the two-legged beast at the command of the two-legged beast, and several of the two-legged beasts’ heads were chopped off.

The expression on the big golden tiger's face was so wonderful.

"Dajin, don't you think so?"

The big golden tiger whose name was called nodded his head with admiration, fear, envy and excitement in his eyes.

The onlookers were very surprised to see that the tiger was so human-like, but because it was the emperor's mount, they did not dare to watch closely.

In addition, several people had just died here, and eyeballs and human heads were rolling on the ground. After getting the emperor's permission, they wished they could grow wings and leave quickly.

When most people had left, Yan Ruju walked up to Leng Qingyi with an apologetic look on her face and bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, my father..."

"My dear, please don't apologize for other people's mistakes. It's none of your business."

Feeling the warm touch on her forearm, Yan Ruju stood up straight with the help of Leng Qingyi, her eyes full of heartache for the man in front of her.

"Your Majesty, I will help you."

"As long as you are safe and happy, I don't need you to do anything for me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruju was stunned.

As long as she is safe and happy, doesn't she need to do anything?

How can it be?

Even her father was full of calculations and exploitation towards her. In order to get rid of him, he even had the antidote in his hand but made her endure the pain of being eaten by thousands of insects every day.

Leng Qingyi stretched out his index finger and scratched Yan Ruju's upturned nose, bringing Yan Ruju, who was lost in thought, back to his senses instantly.

When Yan Ruju saw the eyes around her staring at them, a blush gradually appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty, there are still so many people here."

"So what? You are my woman."

Yan Ruju's face turned even redder when she heard Leng Qingyi's gentle response.

"Okay, I'll take you to try the rabbit I hunted myself. It tastes delicious."

Before they knew it, Yan Ruju had followed Leng Qing to the main account door.

Many people saw the interaction between the two. Some were envious, some were jealous, and most were just watching and calculating.

Late at night, faint whispers were heard from the tent next to the main tent.

"Your Majesty, the Duke wants you to come over."

Yan Ruju, who was awakened, had no emotion in her eyes. She looked up at her new chief palace maid.

"understood."

Yan Ruju quietly stood up, put on a dark cloak and went to the tent of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Why did father come to see me so late at night?"

The Duke of Zhenguo frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with his daughter's attitude.

"Aju, you should know that you and the Duke's Mansion share the same fate. It wasn't because your father was cruel, it was because the Emperor was watching too closely. If you want to blame someone, you should blame the Emperor."

"Father, just say what you want to say."

"Father sees that the Emperor dotes on you very much. How is your pregnancy progressing?"

"Nothing happened."

"Concubine Yi was sent away with serious injuries. It's uncertain whether she can survive. Moreover, even if she survived, her brain would not be better than yours. Now you are the only one favored in the harem. The other concubines have difficulty even seeing the emperor. You should work harder to conceive a dragon heir as soon as possible."

"understood."

"Aju, father is doing this for your own good. You will understand it in the future."

"Yes, father, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will go back first."

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing you need to do. Find a way to spread this stuff on the clothes the emperor will wear tomorrow."

Yan Ruju suddenly looked up at her father.

"Aju, remember that we all prosper together and suffer together. Go ahead."

Yan Ruju didn't know how she took the packet of medicine powder and returned to her tent.

After lying down, Yan Ruju held the packet of medicine powder in her hand, her mind full of every moment she spent with the emperor.

Then she thought about how her father always had different purposes for looking for her, but never cared about her situation in the palace, let alone whether she was safe and happy.

Looking at the powder in her hand, she knew without asking that it was not a good thing. She wondered what would happen to her if she was discovered by the emperor. Had her father ever considered how she would cope with the situation after the incident?

Perhaps what her father meant by "prosperity for all" was that she could only prosper if the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion prospered, and she was just a chess piece to be placed wherever needed. Thinking of this, her thoughts became more resolute.

As soon as it was light, Yan Ruju asked the maid to help her wash and dress. After combing her hair, she looked at the maid who grew up with her through the bronze mirror.

With a calm expression in his eyes, he asked, "Lian'er, what does the Duke's Mansion mean to you?"

"Your Majesty, the Duke's Mansion is naturally your backing and confidence."

"In your heart, am I your master, or is the Duke's Mansion your master?"

Lian'er knelt down immediately after hearing this.

"My Lady, Lian'er's life was saved by you. Lian'er is yours in life and yours in death."

"If you were asked to choose between me and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, who would you choose?"

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that? The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and Your Highness are one and the same."

"Answer me."

"Lian'er naturally chooses the queen."

"What if the Duke's Mansion uses your father, mother, and brother as a threat to get you to harm me?"

Lian'er knelt on the ground with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes and replied, "My Lady, you and the Duke's Mansion are one and the same. How could the Duke harm you?"

Yan Ruju's heart completely turned cold, and she waved her hand to let Lian'er go out.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I recalled every detail of my time in the Duke's Mansion.

My mother passed away after giving birth to me. My grandfather was afraid that my brother and I would suffer, so he let my aunt marry in as a concubine.

On the surface, she was the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, who was in great glory. Everything was done for her, and all the good things were delivered to her own yard.

But is this really the case?

What mother would treat other people's children better than her own?

Those inferior cloths and jewelry, the clothes that always had problems when attending banquets, the servants in the yard who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, and the different treatment from my father.

She knew every detail clearly. Everyone in the capital knew that the Duke's wife was kind and generous, and she treated her sister's children with all her heart and soul, even better than she treated her own children.

Even her own brother thought he lived a better life than her second sister, and he sided with her in everything, and was cold and distant to her, his biological sister who was born of the same mother.

What can she do?

The word "filial piety" can crush a person to death. So what if there is injustice?

To outsiders, her stepmother seemed kind and generous. She lived a glamorous life and married the emperor, becoming the highest-ranking imperial concubine in the harem, second only to the emperor.

But if the palace was really a good place, why would the stepmother abandon her own daughter and let her sister's daughter enter the harem?

After all, I am just a chess piece with some use value. When have their family ever treated me as a relative?

Since they don't consider themselves relatives and don't take their life and death seriously, why should they care about that tiny bit of blood relationship?
