Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

With the idea of ​​making money in mind, Ye Li developed an anesthetic as quickly as possible.

On the very day it was successfully developed, it was handed over to Xuanyuan Ming. She didn't know whether it would be a success or not, but having the emperor as a guinea pig was just the best thing that could happen.

Fortunately, she was a time traveler, and Ye Li received guidance from the best teachers in Tian Shu Kingdom. With her own diligent study and practice, she eventually succeeded in developing the anesthetic.

Xuanyuan Ming hadn't had enough sleep for several days, but now the anesthetic had relieved his pain, and he felt much better both physically and mentally.

Once he felt better, he was carried to the Ni Chang Palace.

Empress Li Siyue seemed to only then realize that the emperor was unwell. She looked at Xuan Yuanming anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, I am six months pregnant and have not been able to visit you. I beg your forgiveness."

Xuanyuan Ming didn't care, after all, he had hurt a man in the most humiliating way, and he wished no one knew about it in order to cover up his problem.

Xuanyuan Ming, as if nothing had happened, continued to look at Li Siyue with tender affection and said:

"Siyue, get up quickly, don't tire yourself out, it will make me feel bad."

"I am grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. I have been in low spirits lately and have not been able to serve Your Majesty properly. Thank you for your understanding."

After listening to this, Xuan Yuanming offered some kind words of comfort to Li Siyue. The two treated each other with respect, and from a distance, they looked like a model couple.

But they were each secretly plotting their own schemes.

Xuanyuan Mingzhuang brought it up as if casually:

"I was feeling a little unwell a while ago, and it was thanks to Mu Nianchen's advice that I was able to recover. Now that I'm much better, I'm thinking about how to reward Mu Nianchen. Why don't you suggest a plan for me, Your Majesty?"

"This is too much of an honor for me. Your Majesty can decide for yourself."

Li Siyue didn't respond. She understood that Xuan Yuanming was worried that she would become arrogant because of his favor. He was afraid that she would dare to interfere in court affairs just because she was carrying the emperor's child. So she kept quiet.

Li Siyue held reservations about any of Xuan Yuanming's decisions, allowing him to make all the major and minor affairs in the palace. This dispelled some of Xuan Yuanming's doubts.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is too modest. After all, you are both women, so you naturally understand women's thoughts better."

Seeing that Xuan Yuanming was determined to get her to come up with an idea, Li Siyue obediently said, "In that case, why not follow the example of General Mo Chen's first wife and elevate her to the rank of Lady of the Imperial Decree?"

"With two noble ladies residing in the same mansion, it's like two tigers fighting; one is bound to be injured. I suppose the Emperor can simply let the General's Mansion fend for itself."

Li Siyue's words, seemingly offering advice to Xuan Yuanming, actually elevated Mu Nianchen's status.

Now that she has reached an agreement with Mu Nianchen, the higher Mu Nianchen's status, the more advantageous it will be for her. Moreover, she can also do him a favor, so why not?

Xuan Yuanming was overjoyed upon hearing this. He was currently preoccupied with his own problems, and he was willing to do anything to annoy Mo Chen, regardless of whether it was true or false.

Besides, the title of Lady of the Imperial Decree is merely a reward.

Immediately afterwards, Xuanyuan Ming had the eunuchs draft an imperial edict to formally confer the title.

When Ye Li received the imperial decree, she was a little stunned. She was once again being granted the title of Lady of the Imperial Decree.

She already had this title when she was known as Ye Li. Now, Mo Chen has married her again, giving her a grand and luxurious wedding, and they are both titled Lady of the Imperial Decree!

I think I'm really suited for this title.

Having learned from experience, Mu Nianchen calmly accepted the imperial decree this time, and accepted the reward, which was twice as much as last time, without any ripples in his expression.

This shocked the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree. He hadn't expected this lady to be so greedy. As if he had discovered some important information, he hurriedly left, eager to report it to Xuanyuan Ming.

Upon hearing that Mu Nianchen loved money, Xuanyuan Ming couldn't help but feel pleased:

"Good! Good! What I fear most are those who pretend to be aloof and have no desires. If she is greedy for money, it will be even easier to control her."

Xuanyuan Ming waved his hand and bestowed even more rewards upon Mu Nianchen.

On the other side, Empress Li Siyue also sent a pile of congratulatory gifts, saying that she congratulated Mu Nianchen on becoming a Lady of Imperial Decree.

For a moment, Ye Li felt that becoming a general's wife had truly made her an instant rich woman.

Sitting in the carriage, she couldn't help but tease Mo Chen:

"Does this mean I have a knack for attracting money? If I marry you, you can skip many years of hard work."

Ye Li was just joking around, but she didn't expect Mo Chen to gaze at her so intently and say so affectionately:

"Indeed, my wife is the greatest blessing I have ever had in my life, but... haven't I been working hard every single night?"

Ye Li blushed with embarrassment at his words, punched him lightly on the swaying carriage, then lay down lazily and said:

“I’m tired from developing anesthetics, can you give me a shoulder massage?”

If outsiders were to see this, they would probably be astonished. The seemingly weak and delicate general's wife was unceremoniously arranging for the general to do this kind of servant work, and the general was actually quite happy to do it, with an expression on his face that said, "This is what I should do as a husband."

Mo Chen was a military general, and his fingertips had calluses from swords. In addition, the male's hands were relatively rough and warm. A delicate and dense tingling sensation came from where their skin touched. Ye Li gradually got used to this pleasure and unconsciously closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms.

Seeing that Ye Li had fallen asleep, Mo Chen did not stop massaging her. His wife had the world on her mind and was overly focused on her studies. He felt sorry for her as he watched her concentrate on developing medicine these days, neglecting her meals.

Mo Chen kissed Ye Li's forehead and whispered:

"Sleep peacefully with me here."

The carriage continued on its way. Ye Li, still half asleep, sought out a source of warmth, adjusting her position from time to time, until finally she nestled comfortably in Mo Chen's arms and drifted off into a sweet dream.

In the palace, after exchanging pleasantries with Li Siyue, Xuanyuan Ming said he had to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to handle state affairs. As he left the Ni Chang Palace, he said something meaningful:

"Your Majesty, as you know, whenever there is a pregnant concubine in the palace, the harem will hold another selection of concubines. I think that if new women enter the palace in the future, Your Majesty should be more tolerant."

Empress Li Siyue was naturally aware of Xuanyuan Ming's current physical condition, but his words made her waver...

Could it be that Mu Nianchen's medical skills are really that superb?

Or perhaps Xuanyuan Ming was hiding some mysterious medicine?

Li Siyue believed that with the only heir of the Tian Shu Kingdom, she could handle whatever tricks Xuan Yuanming played.

But she underestimated Xuanyuanming's despicable and shameless nature.

Xuanyuan Ming actually brought his younger sister, Miaomiao, into the palace!

These were her only remaining relatives. Xuan Yuanming had already ruined her family, and now he wanted to drag her last remaining family members down with him!

With a loud crash, all the cups, bowls, and porcelain dishes in the Ni Chang Palace shattered. Li Siyue said angrily:

"Prepare the carriage immediately and take me to the Emperor! Also, summon Mu Nianchen to the palace right away, quickly!"
