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

Just then, someone rushed in—it was General Yue!

General Yue, who was patrolling outside, was extremely worried. She knew what her precious son had done. It was only because the Empress Dowager hadn't strangled him that she was being merciful. So she kept a close eye on the situation inside the palace!

Upon hearing the sound, she rushed in immediately and saw that Yue Wentao was in a critical situation with her face turning slightly bluish-purple. She quickly walked to the Empress Dowager's side.

He drew the longsword from his waist, holding the cold blade high above the Empress Dowager's hand gripping Le Wen's neck, and said in a cold tone, "Empress Dowager, let go, or I will cut you down!"

"General Yue, what are you doing!" His Majesty asked urgently.

The Empress Dowager was so engrossed in her anger that she only wanted to strangle the poisonous husband who had killed her son, and she turned a deaf ear to General Yue's words!

General Yue raised his sword!

Just as she was about to strike, the Empress Dowager, out of her survival instinct, let go!

Le Wentao fell to the ground due to inertia, clutching his chest and gasping for breath. General Le stood beside him without saying a word, yet he became Le Wentao's most solid wall.

"Your Majesty, the situation is critical, please forgive my rudeness!" General Yue knelt down to beg for forgiveness, for it was forbidden for a foreign official to enter the Empress Dowager's palace without being summoned.

"Your Majesty, Xiao'er, kill Le Wentao, kill him! He killed my child!" the Empress Dowager cried out hoarsely, her voice filled with intense hatred.

General Yue looked at the Empress Dowager with a perfectly timed expression of confusion: "Empress Dowager, what are you saying! I don't understand. I remember that the late Emperor has been gone for many years. Where did you get this child from? Empress Dowager, you should not say anything that would damage the reputation of the royal family."

"Ruining your reputation is a small matter, but ruining the royal family's honor is a much bigger deal! Your Majesty, wouldn't you agree?"

As soon as General Yue finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's face turned red and then purple, a truly spectacular sight.

The once noisy palace immediately became extremely quiet. The servants didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing the nobleman!

General Yue knelt on the ground, convinced that the Empress Dowager had committed adultery in the harem first and was in the wrong, so he dared not argue with her!

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Noble Prince has been frightened and is truly unfit to serve you any longer. I shall take him away first!"

"...Alright." The Emperor glanced at the Empress Dowager, who closed her eyes dejectedly, her face ashen.

General Yue helped Yue Wentao out, and said with a hint of disappointment.

"My child, why are you so foolish! You strangled the Empress Dowager's child for His Majesty's sake, and angered the Empress Dowager! Just now, my child, didn't you notice? Your Majesty, she is a woman who has practiced martial arts since childhood. Could she really not pry open the Empress Dowager's hand that was strangling your neck?"

Le Wentao's face grew even paler, like a dead man who had lost all hope. He looked around; guards stood solemnly in rows.

They're all mothers!

He knelt on the ground, hugged his mother's leg, raised his head, and looked up with a mixture of despair and pleading in his eyes: "Mother, please save your son!"

"My silly child, you are my son, of course I will help you!"

.......

His Majesty is reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study.

Prime Minister Jiang has many cronies, and even with ample evidence, some people still managed to submit memorials to defend him. His Majesty looked at the memorials before him and let out a series of cold laughs.

She wrote down all these names, preparing to settle scores later.

She rubbed her slightly swollen temples, feeling utterly exhausted from all the events of the past few days. She looked at Master Li and asked, "Master Li, is the ceremony for bestowing the title of Imperial Consort ready?"

Only this one thing could bring a slight smile to her face.

Master Li lowered his head deeply and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has made all the preparations. Tonight will be Your Majesty's wedding night!"

His Majesty nodded, a smile playing on his lips.

"Your Majesty." Yue Wentao walked in from outside.

His Majesty looked up at him somewhat uncomfortably.

Le Wentao wore a white ribbon around his neck, revealing his long, fair neck. His eyes were still full of affection as he looked at her. Le Wentao was always like this, showing his love without hesitation.

"Wen Tao, you've been frightened. Why don't you rest a little longer?" His Majesty said.

Le Wentao placed a bowl of soup in front of His Majesty and said softly, "Your Majesty, I was worried about you. This soup was made by the Imperial Kitchen. Your Majesty has worked hard, so please drink some to nourish your body."

Jiang Yuxiao glanced at the sky outside. It was getting late, and Le Xingxi must be getting impatient. Not wanting to waste time with Le Wentao, she said somewhat urgently, "Just leave it here. I'll drink it in a bit."

"Your Majesty, this soup was prepared under my personal supervision by the imperial chefs in the Imperial Kitchen. I will leave after I finish it!"

"…….good."

His Majesty drank the soup with some impatience. The soup was indeed delicious, but there was always a strange taste to it. Jiang Yuxiao had no doubts. Although Le Wentao was ruthless to others, her feelings for her were genuine and she would not harm her!

His Majesty shook his head and looked at Le Wentao, asking him with his eyes why he hadn't left yet!

"Your Majesty, wait, I still have a use for you."

Jiang Yuxiao couldn't bring herself to ask them to leave, so she said to Master Li, "Prepare the carriage for Kunning Palace!"

Suddenly, Jiang Yuxiao felt herself falling into a hazy state, and everything in front of her became blurry.

At this moment, Master Li and his attendants quietly withdrew.

Jiang Yuxiao felt a burning heat coursing through her body, desperately needing an outlet to vent her emotions. Le Wentao stepped forward with a smile and supported the Emperor: "Your Majesty, you are too tired and need to rest."

Jiang Yuxiao sensed the man's presence and hugged Le Wentao, but then pushed him away immediately.

Jiang Yuxiao shook her head and looked at the person in front of her: "Who are you? Xingxi?"

Le Wentao didn't speak, but slowly took off the scarf from her neck and gently tied it over Jiang Yuxiao's eyes.

In the hazy shadows, the person before her suddenly became clear, revealing Le Xingxi's smiling face. She suddenly remembered what Master Li had said: "Your Majesty, tonight is your wedding night."

Jiang Yuxiao was immediately confused.

She hugged Le Xingxi again.

Le Xingxi hugged His Majesty tightly and said in a seductive tone, "Your Majesty, I beg you to give me a child."

……

Le Xingxi was sitting in the palace at this time. Officials from the Ministry of Rites had come in the afternoon to inform Le Xingxi about the arrangements for the grand ceremony and to prepare for welcoming His Majesty's favor!

He had been feeling restless ever since.

Nakata stood beside him, grasped his shoulder, and said, "What you're worried about won't happen. Jin'an quietly told me that your brother took a bowl of 'Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup' with added ingredients to go to His Majesty!"

Le Xingxi's eyes lit up immediately.

At this moment, Jingtai hurried over and informed Lexingxi: "Master, Master Xia has come to pay his respects!"

Xia Muning has entered the palace!
