Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

The Empress Dowager lay listlessly in bed. Xia Jin'an quietly took her pulse and was surprised to find that she still had a faint pulse. The Empress Dowager was incredibly lucky; she hadn't died!

Xia Jin'an then checked the pulse of the baby next to her, but unfortunately, the baby was already dead!

Xia Jin'an quietly pondered for a moment, glanced outside, opened her medicine box, and began treating the Empress Dowager. No one noticed what was happening outside, as it was incredibly lively!

Knowing that her chances of survival were slim, Prime Minister Jiang smiled as she looked at the scattered notes on the ground and began to put up a last-ditch resistance. She took her sword and thrust it at His Majesty!

However, the situation reversed, and now it was Prime Minister Jiang who was outnumbered and outmatched. Even though Prime Minister Jiang was highly skilled in martial arts, he was no match for the many opponents, and he was forced to the ground.

Jiang Yuxiao squatted on the ground, looked at the Prime Minister's face, and kicked him hard, her tone vicious!

"Prime Minister, do you know? When you oppose me at every turn, and I have no choice but to smile and agree, I just want to stomp your face on the ground and crush it!"

General Yue stood by, offering no intervention to stop His Majesty's brutality.

Prime Minister Jiang was taken away!

Her crimes are clear and obvious, right next to His Majesty's throne. There is no need for investigation. As long as they are made public, everyone will condemn her and she will be infamous for eternity!

Le Wentao was the first to kneel on the ground, followed closely by the others, who sincerely congratulated him on eliminating the traitorous prime minister!

His Majesty helped General Yue up and said sincerely, "General Yue is a pillar of the court. If it weren't for General Yue's timely appearance today, I would be dead!"

"It is Your Majesty's boundless blessings! Your Majesty, I have a matter to discuss..."

His Majesty stopped General Yue from speaking: "General Yue, today is the day of my and Xingxi's joyous celebration. Once the ceremony is complete, we will be the closest of rulers and subjects. There's no need to say anything more then!"

It was too late to say anything then!

"Master Li, go and tell the imperial kitchen to boil some hot water. I need to bathe and change. I don't want the smell of blood on me to frighten Xingxi!"

"Yes!" Master Li quickly replied.

At this moment, Yue Wentao, who was all smiles, said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, Xingxi has entered the palace. As his elder brother, it would be inappropriate not to visit him. Besides, as a subject, I should pay my respects to the Imperial Consort according to etiquette."

His Majesty looked at Yue Wentao, his heart filled with hesitation.

But just now, Le Wentao stood in front of her without hesitation and protected her, which touched her heart. Le Wentao's request was reasonable and justified, and she couldn't very well refuse!

"Wen Tao, Xingxi is your younger brother, you are born of the same father!"

Le Wentao nodded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand."

A quarter of an hour later, His Majesty and Yue Wentao appeared at the entrance of Kunning Palace.

At this moment, Le Xingxi felt inexplicably nervous.

A quarter of an hour ago, the servant that Le Xingxi had arranged to enter the palace entered happily and said to Le Xingxi, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! His Majesty will be here soon. Please come and greet him!"

Le Xingxi had a premonition in her heart. Zhong Tian and her mother's thoughts were so simple. His Majesty was the ruler and her mother was the subject. Since ancient times, only the ruler has given rewards to the subject. How could there be a reason for the subject to make a deal with the ruler?

Before the two could come up with a plan, footsteps approached from afar, and the servants knelt on the ground, shouting "Long live the Emperor!"

Le Xingxi's expression changed, and she quickly took off her wedding dress, changed into casual clothes, and went out to greet His Majesty.

His Majesty was in high spirits, feeling refreshed from his bath and having just eliminated a traitor and won the heart of a beauty. He didn't mind Le Xingxi's lateness at all.

Upon meeting, His Majesty surprisingly apologized first: "Xingxi, it's my fault for keeping you waiting!"

Le Xingxi shook his head and said, "I understand that Your Majesty is busy with state affairs!"

"Today was truly chaotic, but the Ministry of Rites will reorganize the ceremony tomorrow, and I will certainly not let you suffer any injustice."

“His Majesty would certainly not allow his younger brother to suffer any injustice. Xingxi, you are truly blessed,” Yue Wentao said from the side.

He looked Le Xingxi up and down, and said meaningfully, "Brother, we finally met in the palace."

Le Xingxi glanced at Le Wentao and said, "Brother, it's so late, thank you for coming to see me."

There's absolutely no need to be jealous over a woman you don't love; it's a complete waste of time! Le Wentao felt like she'd punched a pillow!

Looking at the tightly closed door inside the house, Le Wentao asked, "Little brother, it's chilly outside. Won't you invite us in for a seat?"

Le Xingxi's expression changed.

Zhongtian was still inside. There were too many wedding processions, so Zhongtian was not conspicuous. But if His Majesty went in now, as long as His Majesty's eyes were not blind, he would definitely recognize Zhongtian.

Her Majesty could not hide Le Xingxi's subtle expressions. Her face changed as she thought of Le Xingxi's lover, and the anger in her heart was almost impossible to conceal! She immediately pushed aside Le Xingxi, who was blocking the doorway, and went inside.

But the room was empty, with wedding dresses scattered all over the floor. The dresses were too big, and when they were taken off, they took up so much space that there was no room to step!

Le Xingxi stood behind His Majesty, her face cold and her voice icy: "Your Majesty distrusts me so much, is so wary of me at every turn, and cares so much about everything, then why did you still marry me into the palace! Aren't you afraid I'll cheat on you?"

Le Congxi rarely spoke tactfully to His Majesty, perhaps out of a sense of entitlement due to his favored status, or perhaps because he wanted His Majesty to despise him from the bottom of his heart and thus abandon him.

Le Xingxi's words lessened Her Majesty's suspicions somewhat, but she still felt that something was off about the place.

At this moment, Master Li came over and reported to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, Physician Xia said that the Empress Dowager still had some breath left, and after treatment, she has now woken up!"

A hint of joy appeared on His Majesty's face.

Upon hearing the news, Le Wentao staggered back a few steps, almost losing her balance.

"Xingxi, you rest well. I'm going to see the Empress Dowager!" His Majesty harbored some resentment towards the Empress Dowager, but he did not want her to die.

"it is good."

"Wen Tao, let's go." His Majesty called out to Yue Wen Tao, who was standing still and not ready to leave.

Le Wentao composed himself, smiled at His Majesty, and said, "Your Majesty, my brother and I have not seen each other for a long time. Today we are having a private chat, like men. Your Majesty, please take your leave."

"Alright." His Majesty then hurriedly left.

Only the brothers Le Xingxi and Le Wentao remained in the vast Kunning Palace. Le Wentao looked at the magnificent decorations of the Kunning Palace, then at the half-burnt dragon and phoenix red candles and the nuptial wine on the table.

All of this was what he had always dreamed of.

"Le Wentao, it's just the two of us now, so just say what you have to say!" Le Xingxi poured herself a cup of tea and said coldly.

"Brother, brother, don't hide it from me! Where are we? Where is Zhongtian? Come out!"
