Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Chapter 34 The Disabled General VS The Puppet Emperor 10

The next morning, Sheng Yuan skillfully served Lin Sui, who was still half asleep, as he got up to wash and get ready.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Sui clung to Sheng Yuan, while Xiao Shi watched from the side, inwardly speechless. This was just too much...

After being lectured by Xiao Shi yesterday, Yuan Chen finally came to his senses. Although he was shocked by the scene this morning, he accepted it.

As expected of my master, the people he sets his sights on are all the most noble in the world!

"Sui Sui, wake up, it's time for the morning court session." Sheng Yuan patted the back of the person in his arms and reminded her.

"Ah Yuan, I'm sleepy~"

Lin Sui was still dazed and said coquettishly.

"If Sui Sui doesn't wake up soon, I'll have to carry you to the imperial court. Then everyone will know that our Emperor overslept and was carried to the morning court."

The sound, carried far, frightened those nearby.

Lin Sui jumped up in a huff and said angrily, "Put me down right now!"

If what he said is true, he'll lose his face!

Sheng Yuan put the person down, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he and Xiao Shi slipped away.

Sheng Yuan smiled helplessly and followed.

Upon learning that His Majesty had been poisoned and that Sheng Yuan's leg had recovered, he replaced all the servants in the palace. Whether out of curiosity or to test the waters, he sent invitations to the palace, but His Majesty refused them all, citing the need for rest.

Lin Ze originally wanted to come to the palace to confirm in person, but was stopped by Qu Man'er. He thought that it wouldn't make much difference whether he went or not, so he might as well indulge in the pleasures of the palace and just sent a letter.

Everyone was excited to be informed that they would be attending the morning court session today.

Seeing Sheng Yuan follow His Majesty out, he finally believed the rumors.

When the Duke of Zhenguo saw his son actually stand up, he was so excited that his eyes reddened, but a man doesn't easily shed tears, and the Duke of Zhenguo quickly regained his composure.

Sheng Yuan stood next to the Duke of Zhenguo for the entire morning court session, and Lin Sui frequently glanced in his direction.

The morning court session discussed the Regent's marriage and the spring sacrifice held every four years by the Grand Emperor.

To show his respect, Emperor Lin Sui entrusted the Regent's marriage to the Ministry of Rites. The marriage was somewhat hasty, but since the Emperor had already entrusted it to the Ministry of Rites, and with General Xie's advice, it was understandable.

After all, he's someone who can wield weapons and holds military power. You never know when he'll lose his temper and kill you with a single blow. Even if someone comes to uphold justice, what's the use if you're already dead? Saving your life is the most important thing!

When Linze heard them discussing his marriage, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

As for the spring sacrifice, it is traditionally held half a month after the wedding in Linze, which is quite a coincidence.

"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."

There was complete silence below.

"Since there is nothing else, let's adjourn the court."

Lin wanted to stick close to Sheng Yuan, but he knew Sheng Yuan was busy and he was afraid that Sheng Yuan would find him annoying, so he finally pouted and left.

When Zhenguo Gongzheng was about to take Shengyuan back to the manor, he was stopped by Linze.

"General Xie is able to stand up again, that's truly a cause for celebration!"

"Thank you for your congratulations, Your Highness. All of this is simply a matter of good and evil being rewarded in the end."

The voice seemed to be speaking with a hidden meaning.

Sheng was half a head taller than Lin Ze, and his body, having fought on the battlefield for many years, was stronger than Lin Ze, even if not excessively burly.

"General Xie is indeed fortunate!"

"I am indeed fortunate. After all, I am a soldier of Da Lin. Even if I were to die, I should die on the battlefield, not be plotted against by beasts, right?"

Sheng Yuan looked at him, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

Lin Ze clenched his fists under his brocade robe, veins bulging, and it was clear to anyone with eyes that he was on the verge of exploding in rage.

"What do you mean?"

"I was cursing that beast who plotted against me. Why is Your Highness so agitated? Could it be..."

"I only care about General Xie and hate those who plot against the soldiers of Dalin. General Xie's ingratitude truly chills my heart!"

"How could that be? It is my honor to receive Your Highness's attention."

Lin Ze angrily flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Sheng Yuan wasn't embarrassed and followed the Duke of Zhenguo back to his residence.

When Xie's mother learned that Shengyuan was coming back today, she had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Watching her son get off the carriage and stand in front of her, Xie's mother shed tears and remained motionless, as if afraid that if she made a sound, the scene before her would become an illusion.

“Mother,” Sheng Yuan bowed.

Sheng Yuan knew that Xie's mother had always loved Xie Sheng Yuan. The reason she hadn't recognized him was because the original owner of this body had gone to the battlefield at the age of twelve. In the past ten years, they had only spent a month together, and during that month, Xie Sheng Yuan rejected anyone's approach and stayed in the courtyard. The two of them had only spent a couple of meetings at most.

Just like in the last world, Gu's father recognized him as not Gu Shengyuan the moment he saw him, but he never pointed it out.

"Hey! It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"

Mother Xie was very happy. Xie Shengyuan was her first child. At that time, her relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo had not yet broken down and they were still loving.

“Mother, let’s go inside first. Standing here will make you catch a cold,” Sheng Yuan said.

"Hey! Good, good, good!"

Mother Xie happily led Sheng Yuan into the mansion, and everyone's attention was focused on Sheng Yuan.

Only the Duke of Zhenguo, who had been overlooked all along, looked at the scene with a somewhat forlorn expression, lost in thought.

……

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's wife and Cao Huihui, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, were busily preparing the betrothal gifts, their faces beaming with joy.

The atmosphere in the side courtyard where Cao Yuanyuan lived was different.

She was already forced to share a husband with her elder sister, which was bad enough, but it was an arranged marriage that involved her life.

But why should Qu Man'er, a powerless and insignificant person, steal the husband she has her eye on?

Cao Yuanyuan smashed all the decorations on the table, and the clanging sound frightened her maid, Ayu.

Ah Yu wasn't sure either. Ever since Miss was rescued from the water two months ago, her personality had changed drastically. Originally, she thought it would be good for Miss to be more resilient after the surgery, but now she seemed a bit strange.

After waking up, the young lady always says strange things and does strange things. She even disregards the proper separation between men and women and rules of etiquette, and has made a private vow with the Regent. Now that she has been able to enter the Regent's Palace as she wished, what is she angry about?

It's common for men to have three wives and four concubines. She's just a powerless concubine; no one would say anything if she were killed.

Furthermore, since the young lady already had feelings for the regent, as long as she could give birth to the eldest son first, her remaining life would be peaceful, which would be a good outcome.

But Ah Yu didn't say these things aloud; she just quietly packed her things.

After venting her frustrations, Cao Yuanyuan calmed down.

So be it, she can be a concubine. Once she becomes empress, what kind of handsome men won't she have!

At the victory banquet that day, both the emperor and General Xie were good-looking. Once she became empress, she would bring them into the harem.

Thinking this, her eyes revealed endless greed and desire.
