My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General – Chapter 274

Chapter Sixty-Six: Full of Regret

Rumors about the Wang clan in the capital gradually intensified, causing Xu Wang’s hair to turn white from worry over the past few days. What he had originally thought was a good opportunity to enhance his reputation had turned out to be a trap, drawing him in!

Despite being someone as cunning as Xu Wang, he had now walked right into the trap himself.

Although he was filled with regret, it was now too late to do anything. All he could do was quickly devise a plan to cut his losses and prevent the situation from worsening.

Once the rumors in the capital involved the Xize Town incident, Xu Wang immediately knew it was a deliberate setup. The Emperor was also clearly paying attention to the matter, though he hadn’t acted immediately due to the Empress Dowager.

However, as the accusations escalated, the Emperor would eventually be forced to intervene.

And at that point, the Empress Dowager would have no excuse to stop him.

No, he couldn’t afford to capsize over such a minor slip-up. Knowing that he couldn’t let things continue this way, Xu Wang quickly made his move.

But every time Xu Wang thought about the embarrassing sight of himself going to his aunt, the Empress Dowager, to complain, his expression became unreadable. He felt it was time to sacrifice a pawn to save the king.

It was much better for one person to die than to drag the entire Wang clan down with him. He also needed to find a scapegoat to help him through this difficult time.

He just hoped he wouldn’t catch anyone plotting behind the scenes, otherwise, he would make them pay dearly.

While Xu Wang was secretly making up his mind, the Imperial Palace was also in turmoil.

After the Empress Dowager heard her own brother’s tearful plea, she thought he was overly worried and by not believing him, she had truly hurt his feelings.

The rift between the siblings was a result the Empress Dowager did not want.

Therefore, when the Empress Dowager invited the Emperor for lunch, she coincidentally invited Consort Qian as well. Having a beauty for company would prevent the Emperor from becoming impatient and leaving halfway through their conversation.

“Ling’er, your uncle sent some things into the palace yesterday. They are all the latest trends in the capital. Take a look later and see if there’s anything you want.”

Afterward, while they were eating, the Empress Dowager suddenly spoke.

Her smiling demeanor was not affected by the recent rumors about Xu Wang. She still wished to foster closeness between the Emperor and the Wang clan, to support her maternal family.

Although the Empress Dowager didn’t state it explicitly, the hidden meaning in her words was clear.

Rumors were just rumors, but Xu Wang was the Emperor’s maternal uncle. Therefore, the Empress Dowager wanted the Emperor not to jump to conclusions and be suspicious of the Wang clan.

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager’s words, the Emperor picked up his chopsticks, put some food into his mouth, and remained silent, continuing to eat his meal.

Beside him, Consort Qian, seeing the situation, couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief. Although it looked like she was wiping a smudge from her lips, the eunuch Li Ye, who was serving them, clearly saw that Bai Qian was smiling.

Evidently, Bai Qian found the current turn of events quite amusing.

The Empress Dowager’s favoritism towards the Wang clan had blinded her. Even as news spread like wildfire in the capital, she refused to let the Emperor intervene.

But if the Emperor remained uninvolved, what would the common people and officials in the capital think?

“Mother, these items sent by Uncle, please keep them for yourself!”

“My child, are you being formal with your uncle?”

“It’s not that. After all, this realm belongs to me. Even the rarest of treasures become tiresome. I need a change of pace… Recently, I’ve received quite a few memorials from the ministers. I shall take my leave now.”

The Emperor hadn’t eaten for long before he smiled and spoke to the Empress Dowager. Without another word, he quickly got up and left before the Empress Dowager could even try to stop him.

Only the Empress Dowager with a furious expression, Bai Qian with a worried look, and the eunuchs and palace maids, who dared not make a sound, remained, serving them cautiously.

“Consort Qian, look at Ling’er’s temper. It’s getting worse and worse. He probably won’t even let people finish speaking anymore.”

“His Majesty is like this because he’s been busy with affairs recently. Once this period passes, he’ll be fine.”

“Alas, if only your belly were more promising and you could conceive a dragon son soon. When Ling’er becomes a father, he won’t be so impatient.”

“Yes, this concubine will work hard.”

After the meal, the Empress Dowager was so upset by the Emperor’s defiance that she didn’t keep Bai Qian any longer and sent her away.

Bai Qian then offered a few more words of comfort to the Empress Dowager, accumulating some goodwill. Once she left the Empress Dowager’s sight, she could finally stop hiding her smile, finding the development of events increasingly interesting.

Since she had nothing to do in the harem anyway, she decided to treat it like watching a play.

Bai Qian sent someone to leak the information to Gu Yu through the Alliance. Gu Yu was utilizing it well, and now he had a firm grip on the Wang clan. The next step was to see how the Wang clan would escape.

However, according to her memories from her past life, the Wang clan could not be destroyed by rumors alone, unless the Empress Dowager died, then they might be cleaned up.

“Eunuch Li, the Empress Dowager is once again mentioning heirs to me. What do you think I should do?”

“Consort Qian already has a decision in mind. You don’t need to ask this lowly servant’s opinion.”

“Alas, don’t you also know that the Emperor will never have any descendants in this lifetime? The Empress Dowager is so anxious now. It’s not that I can’t bear children, but I might need to change the partner, perhaps the fake eunuch like you…”

“Your Highness! Be careful with your words.”

On the way back, Bai Qian smiled at Li Ye, who was standing beside her with a serious expression. Her eyes narrowed, and the words she spoke made Li Ye lose his composure. In panic, he quickly raised his hand and covered Bai Qian’s mouth.

Really, it was bad enough that someone had to see him with his little bird still attached, but now he was being threatened and unable to do anything, forced to follow Bai Qian and serve her.

However, Li Ye felt that since he had been reborn from his past life, he bore a great responsibility!

He had to stop Bai Qian’s ambition to covet the throne. In the previous life, when Bai Qian ascended the throne, Linfeng Kingdom had become extremely chaotic. Such a thing must not happen again.

Fortunately, he was a reborn person with memories from his past life, and Bai Qian at this moment was not the tyrannical empress from the previous life. Li Ye felt that he could stop her this time!

However, Li Ye’s thoughts were too wishful, because he was not the only reborn person; Bai Qian had also been reborn from her previous life.

“Eunuch Li, are you trying to make a move on me?”

Just as Li Ye was thinking that he must stop Bai Qian from harming the Emperor, Bai Qian, with her mouth covered, did not panic. Instead, she secretly stretched out her tongue and licked Li Ye’s finger. As the warm and wet sensation spread, Li Ye recoiled as if burned by hot water and immediately let go.

Then, Li Ye, with a flushed and pale face, retreated several steps as if he had seen a venomous snake, daring not to approach Bai Qian again.

For now, he put aside the great task of saving Linfeng Kingdom and thought that Bai Qian was a demoness!

Bai Qian’s beautiful face turned towards Li Ye and smiled faintly, a hint of mischief in her smile. Clearly, she felt great satisfaction from teasing the shy little eunuch.

For now, it was better not to let Li Ye know that she was also reborn. If he knew, then the look of despair on his panicked face would not be as entertaining.

However, besides Li Ye being reborn, many other changes had occurred in this lifetime.

For example, the Emperor’s private parts were directly injured by Bai Qian’s subordinates, rendering him unable to procreate. However, the Emperor’s preference for men, his ‘dragon and yang’ hobby, had not changed.

Moreover, Gu Mengyao’s husband and younger brother had not died early; they were still alive and well.

The war between Linfeng Kingdom and Luoluo Kingdom had also broken out suddenly, something that had not occurred in the previous life. However, since Bai Qian had been reborn, changes were inevitable.

Now, all she had to do was protect Gu Mengyao and ensure her safety.

After all, Gu Mengyao would become the divine general of Linfeng Kingdom in the future. Bai Qian couldn’t bear to see such talent in danger and had to protect her well.

With these thoughts in mind, Bai Qian stopped teasing Li Ye. She raised a hand and beckoned him. As Li Ye reluctantly approached, Bai Qian smiled and placed her hand on his. The two then continued walking back towards their residence.

……

“Miss, we’ve been traveling at full speed these past few days. Shouldn’t we rest?”

“No need. We’re about to reach the battlefield. I’m worried about my father’s safety, and I wish I could rush there immediately!”

“Alas, Miss, you must also take care of your health! General Gongsun Jie is watching over the battlefield, so Master will be safe.”

As Gu Mengyao and her entourage stopped to rest their horses, Xing Zhi, seeing the fatigue on Gu Mengyao’s face, couldn’t help but speak, wanting to persuade Gu Mengyao to rest properly. Otherwise, if she collapsed upon reaching the battlefield, how would he explain it to Master!

However, after hearing Xing Zhi’s words, Gu Mengyao shook her head, indicating that she could not rest now!

As they would reach the battlefield today, Gu Mengyao couldn’t wait any longer. She just wanted to know Gu Qing’s condition and prayed that nothing would happen to him.

Since she and Gu Yu had confirmed that the murder of the Luoluo Kingdom envoy was related to the detestable Wang clan, Gu Mengyao had been worried that her father, who was stationed in the military camp, would be harmed.

Therefore, she didn’t even want to rest and had been rushing towards the battlefield, wanting to see Gu Qing safe as soon as possible.

“Xing Zhi, we’ve rested enough. Let’s continue! We’re about to reach our destination, and we can rest afterwards.”

“Understood.”

Knowing that he couldn’t persuade Gu Mengyao, Xing Zhi didn’t say anything more after Gu Mengyao announced their departure. He mounted his horse, and the group continued to move forward quickly.

He hoped that by the time they reached the military camp, his Master wouldn’t blame him for bringing the young lady along without permission…
