Many descendants

"That's why I said you were chosen as prime minister; you have good foresight!"

'Crunch~' Su Yan took a bite of sugarcane with her excellent teeth. 'However, General and I have some differences in values ​​and are about to get a divorce.'

"Divorce?" Duanmu Yunhua was surprised, and the smile on his face disappeared.

“That’s not true,” Dongfang Yi replied, then scolded Su Yan, “Stop talking nonsense.”

"Fine, I won't say." Su Yan chewed the sugarcane vigorously, spat out the sugarcane pulp, and wrapped it in a handkerchief.

Duanmu Yunhua then asked, "What are the Six Observations?"

Su Yan paused, looked at Dongfang Yi, and seeing that he also seemed a little curious, she smiled and said to Duanmu Yunhua, "He won't let me speak."

"It's not that I don't want you to speak, but you can't say things that are not legitimate or not," Dongfang Yi said.

Duanmu Yunhua said, "Tell me about it."

Su Yan took another small bite of sugarcane. "Okay. The so-called six views are worldview, civilization view, history view, talent view, life view, and values ​​view."

"Oh? What is the meaning of these six views?" Duanmu Yunhua was even more curious.

Just as Su Yan was about to answer, Dongfang Yi was clearly displeased, feeling that she was lying again, "Eat your sugarcane."

"I'm not eating anymore!" Su Yan threw the remaining two pieces of sugarcane at him.

Dongfang Yi easily caught it, then squeezed it, breaking it into several pieces, which he threw out the window.

Su Yan curled her lips and said, "I've told the truth. I've never uttered a single lie. Believe it or not."

After saying that, he pulled the quilt over his head, opened it, and went to sleep.

Seeing their stance, Duanmu Yunhua didn't ask any further questions.

Later, she ignored everything Dongfang Yi and Duanmu Yunhua said.

"His Majesty wants to eliminate the remnants of the royal families of various countries to prevent future troubles."

“I have already handed over the imperial edict and should return to my hometown to observe three years of mourning.”

"The Emperor has taken away your right to mourn, and there's nothing you can do about it."

……

Su Yan imagined that when she opened her eyes, she would be in the Holy Palace, holding her sweet and soft little son in her arms.

However, the reality was that as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Dongfang Yi sitting by the bed, holding a military book in his hand, and the air was filled with the smell of medicine.

"You caught the cold from the rain, and combined with the hidden illness you developed from starvation, the old and new symptoms flared up at the same time, causing you to have a fever for two days." Dongfang Yi put down his book and handed her a bowl of medicine.

"Hmm." This body is too weak. It's better to be a beast... Su Yan looked at Dongfang Yi, wondering when his worldly life would end.

Jian entered the world through a split soul, and his life ended after death. It is unknown whether the First Dragon was his original soul or a split soul that entered the world, and whether his life ended in death or some other way.

Su Yan drank the medicine in one gulp. "I'm hungry."

Dongfang Yi put down the medicine bowl and said to the servants waiting outside, "Prepare a light and easily digestible meal."

"Yes, sir." The attendant acknowledged the order and left.

Dongfang Yi's gaze fell on Su Yan's wrist. "Where did this bracelet come from?"

Su Yan glanced at the jade bracelet on her wrist, a gift from Jian. "It was a gift from my lover."

"Take it off!" Dongfang Yi's face was extremely ugly.

Su Yan quickly intervened, "That won't do. This thing is too useful for me right now."

"Either you take it off, or I'll chop off your hand! You choose!" Dongfang Yi walked to the weapon rack in the corner and took a knife.

Su Yan was only responsive to gentle persuasion, and immediately rolled up her sleeves, revealing her thin, bony arms. "Chop! Go ahead and chop my arm if you dare! If I utter a sound of pain, I'll take your surname."

Dongfang Yi had never seen a woman like this before. "Cunning, lazy, greedy and slippery" were not enough to describe her; "rogue" should be added to the description!

“You originally took my surname, from the day you entered the Dongfang family.” Dongfang Yi flicked his hand and tossed the knife back onto the weapon rack, where it was precisely sheathed.

Su Yan lowered her sleeves again. "When will you give me the marriage certificate?"

"Her Majesty the Empress summons you to the palace to serve as a lady-in-waiting." Dongfang Yi left after saying this, fearing that Su Yan might say something else that would infuriate him.

Su Yan was stunned. "Huh? I'm going to the palace to become a lady-in-waiting?"

In the Chu Dynasty, all registered court ladies were required to enter the palace as female officials. Those who could stay by the Empress's side were often the wives of pillars of the court.

Su Yan pushed open the door to Dongfang Yi's study and said directly, "I'm not going to the palace!"

Dongfang Yi: "Reason."

"I'm lazy and good-for-nothing! I'd rather starve to death than serve anyone. Even a god wouldn't have that kind of life! I'm afraid I'll shorten the Empress's lifespan." After saying that, Su Yan turned and left, completely unaware that there was someone behind the bookshelf in the study.

The man was tall and imposing, with thick eyebrows that exuded a cruel, cold edge. His long, black hair was all combed back, revealing a full, smooth forehead with a delicate widow's peak. An inch below the peak was a red mole, which softened the sharpness of his cold eyebrows, giving him an air of compassion and tolerance.

His deep-set facial features are well-defined, as if meticulously sculpted, yet they possess an aggressive beauty.

He held a book in his hand, his dark, unfathomable eyes filled with surprise. "She's the person Yunhua was talking about, isn't she?"

"..." Dongfang Yi said helplessly, "Your Majesty is too kind."

"It's alright, it's alright." Chu Duo put the book back on the shelf.

He walked from behind the bookshelf to the desk, picked up an unprocessed official document, glanced at it, and then put it back.

"The remnants of the Liang Dynasty are making frequent moves in Jiangcheng. I'd like you to go there."

"I can't go," Dongfang Yi replied directly.

Chu Duo looked towards the door and smiled, "You can take her with you."

"Her? She's full of bad habits and more likely to cause trouble than anything else."

"Then why don't we let her enter the palace? The Empress has a unique way of training people. She handles the concubines in the harem and the internal affairs very well."

"Didn't the Emperor listen to him? He'd rather lie around lazing around and starve to death!" Dongfang Yi recalled his first impression of her. "She's a woman of her word!"

Chu Duo: "..." That's ruthless!

Su Yan sat on the artificial rock by the garden pond and sent a telepathic message to Jian: "Have you finished fighting the Heavenly Dao? I want to go back."

Jian arrived shortly after the talisman was sent out.

Seeing Su Yan with her head down, feeding the fish with extreme boredom, he laughed and said, "You miss me so soon."

"Yes, I miss you. Take me back to the Beast World." Su Yan looked up at Jian, tears streaming down her face.

Jian turned his head away from her eyes, "We can't go back right now. It seems that the Heavenly Dao has been reincarnated again, and I can't find it for the time being."

Su Yan blinked, her tears instantly disappearing, and said with a calm expression, "Now that he has entered the mortal world, you bully him. When he returns to his rightful place, he will take revenge on you. Can you defeat the will of Heaven?"

"I wanted to deal with him when he was weak, after all, he was the one who plotted against me." Jian is a man of revenge and would never admit defeat.

Su Yan looked at him, threw all the fish food in her hand into the pond, and watched the fish scramble for it. "Then according to you, I should also settle accounts with Heaven."

“Yes! I can’t be the only one suffering from cyanide poisoning; he has to endure a thousand times more than me,” Jian said to Su Yan.

Su Yan nodded, "Let's do it your way. After dealing with the Heavenly Dao, we'll go back to the Beast World. Little Dot has grown quite a bit."

“I saw him when I came here. Ziqi took good care of him.”

"...How about this, let's set a time, a year! Regardless of whether you find the Heavenly Dao or not, I'm going back to the Beast World."

"It won't take a year."

"A maximum of one year, no minimum." Su Yan raised her hand.

"It's settled then." Jian gave her a high five, then pulled her into his arms, sharing a deep, passionate kiss...

Not far away, Chu Duo watched with a solemn expression as Su Yan was being intimately embraced by a man whose back was to him and whose face he could not see.
