My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General – Chapter 281

Chapter 73: I’m Not!

Since the Emperor ordered Xu Wang to go to Luoluo Kingdom to seek peace, the entire court was shocked. The ministers did not dare to believe it and sent people to inquire about what had happened between the Emperor and the Wang Clan, and why they would suddenly let Xu Wang go to Luoluo Kingdom!

Although Xu Wang was not the one who killed the envoy of Luoluo Kingdom, he was still a member of the Wang Clan. Sending the clan leader, Xu Wang, to an enemy country at this time might even cost him his life.

Especially after hearing that the members of the Wang Clan who killed the envoy of Luoluo Kingdom would be escorted to the execution ground in a few days and subjected to the cruelest Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts) method, their lives would be taken away bit by bit, and they would breathe their last in endless pain.

The Lingchi execution method, due to its extreme bloodshed and cruelty, had not appeared in people’s sight for a long time. Usually, they would simply be beheaded with one stroke, ending it all.

However, it was now being used on the members of the Wang Clan. Did this imply that the relationship between the Emperor and the Wang Clan was not good, and it had reached the point of torture?

Simply put, had the Wang Clan lost favor?

As the ministers of the imperial court were guessing the reasons, the Empress Dowager in the imperial palace, upon hearing that her own younger brother was to go to Luoluo Kingdom to seek peace, was immediately terrified and turned pale. After she recovered her senses, she only thought that her brother absolutely could not be in any trouble!

Moreover, even those members of the Wang Clan could not be executed by Lingchi!

Otherwise, this would be slapping the Wang Clan in the face, and also slapping her in the face!

Although she had known for a long time that emperors were heartless, the Emperor Shangguan Ling was her own son. Why was he so cruel to her maternal family, showing no tolerance at all!

What was the big deal about killing a few people from Luoluo Kingdom!

It would be better to go to war between the two countries, so that Luoluo Kingdom would not always harass and cause trouble near the border, giving them a headache every day.

Perhaps he had already guessed the Empress Dowager’s thoughts, so the Emperor had been avoiding her these past few days. If anyone dared to let the Empress Dowager in privately, they would be directly taken to the execution ground and suffer the pain of Lingchi along with the members of the Wang Clan.

The Emperor’s attitude was very serious, so even though many of the eunuchs and palace maids were people planted by the Empress Dowager, they did not dare to make any moves at this time, for fear of being taken to be executed by Lingchi themselves…

Of course, under the Empress Dowager’s coercion, a few palace maids and eunuchs could not resist and finally decided to risk letting the Empress Dowager in, but they were quickly discovered by those around them and immediately arrested.

After their actions were exposed, no matter how these people cried and begged, they were soon handed over to the chief eunuch in charge, who would decide their punishment.

It was not that the people who arrested them were ruthless and had no regard for past favors, but if the Empress Dowager really met the Emperor, then all of them would not be able to live…

Afterwards, the chief eunuch just glanced coldly and ordered people to send all the offending eunuchs and palace maids to the execution ground to accompany the members of the Wang Clan, waiting to be executed by Lingchi together tomorrow.

With this precedent, the remaining eunuchs and palace maids naturally did not dare to break the law again, so the Empress Dowager never had the chance to see the Emperor.

However, Xu Wang took the time to comfort the Empress Dowager, saying that it was the Wang Clan’s fault this time, so it was okay for him to go to Luoluo Kingdom to seek peace, and asked the Empress Dowager not to disturb the Emperor anymore, lest their relationship be affected.

When the Empress Dowager heard her brother say this, she could not help but shed tears of grief. After Xu Wang left the imperial palace, she fell seriously ill.

But! Even so, the Emperor did not take the initiative to see the Empress Dowager. He only sent people to take better care of her, so that her illness would recover quickly.

This time, the Wang Clan must be taught a lesson.

They cannot think that Linfeng Kingdom is the Wang Clan’s territory, and they can point fingers as they please. Only he, Shangguan Ling, is the lord of Linfeng Kingdom, and no one else can cross the line by half a step!

“Your Majesty, it’s late. It’s time to sleep.”

“You all go out first!”

When the eunuch’s voice brought the Emperor back from his thoughts, he immediately waved his hand towards the door, signaling everyone to leave and allowing him to be alone.

Then, after everyone in the room had left, the Emperor sighed helplessly.

Ever since the Emperor was attacked by a man in black and injured his lower body, becoming a eunuch, he felt that his emotions had become more volatile, and he was no longer as calm and steady as before.

For example, this time, he could have chosen a more prudent method to deal with the Wang Clan without making the Empress Dowager sad and sick, and without turning it into such a troublesome situation.

However, the Emperor himself could not suppress his anger.

Especially with the news constantly brought back by the spies sent out during this period, all of which were scandals related to the Wang Clan, the Emperor became more and more enraged, wishing he could eliminate the Wang Clan entirely.

So that they would not be like a group of ugly蛀虫 (moth-eaten bugs), hollowing out Linfeng Kingdom!

However, thinking of the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Wang Clan, the Emperor suppressed his anger and tried his best to let the Wang Clan off the hook, but he did not expect… they were also involved in the murder of the Luoluo Kingdom envoy. This made the Emperor unable to suppress his rage any longer.

“Your Majesty, your subordinate has found out… Xu Wang has been in close contact with some ministers in the court privately and has taken hundreds of thousands of silver notes from them, planning to use money to pave the way in Luoluo Kingdom and achieve a successful friendly treaty between the two countries.”

“Hmph, this old fox is indeed clever! Later, you will write down the names of the ministers who dealt with Xu Wang and hand them over to me. I will have my use for them.”

“Yes, Your Majesty! Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?”

“No, you have worked hard during this period. You may withdraw!”

“Yes!”

Hearing the Emperor telling him to withdraw, the spy could not help but rejoice, thinking that he could finally rest and no longer have to travel back and forth without stopping.

However, he had not been too tired lately. After all, the news sent by Concubine Qian was exactly what the Emperor needed now, so he did not have to work hard to investigate and could directly tell the Emperor the final results.

Before the Luoluo Kingdom envoy was killed, the spy had already colluded with Bai Qian and told the Emperor about all the scandals related to the Wang Clan, completing the task given to him by Bai Qian.

Although he did not know what grievances Bai Qian had with the Wang Clan, as a small figure, the spy felt that it was best not to get involved in the wars between these people.

It was fine like this, making money and easily completing the Emperor’s tasks. As long as nothing was leaked, everything would be fine.

After the Emperor saw the spy withdraw, he thought about the matters concerning the Wang Clan and the Empress Dowager, and his heart was in a mess. He could only stare blankly at the flickering flames on the table, wondering when he could resolve all these troublesome matters!

“Your Majesty, as per your instructions, the spy has informed the Emperor about Xu Wang’s movements.”

“Mm, that’s good.”

In Qingxin Palace, Bai Qian smiled with satisfaction after hearing her maid Lan Mei’s words. Then, she waved her hand and let Lan Mei withdraw, leaving only the little eunuch Li Ye, who looked shocked, thinking about what Bai Qian was planning to do?

Why did she send people to tell the Emperor these things? What was she planning in secret?

“Eunuch Li, what are you thinking about? You’re frowning at me. Am I not pretty enough?”

“…”

Just as Li Ye was frowning and thinking about things, Bai Qian noticed the change in his expression. Then, with a light smile, she asked Li Ye to immediately return to normal, not daring to show any flaws in front of Bai Qian.

Bai Qian was not an ordinary person, so he had to be careful.

Seeing the little eunuch’s cute actions, Bai Qian could not help but curve her lips. Then, she sat on the chair and beckoned to Li Ye, indicating for him to come and serve her.

Seeing Bai Qian’s ill-intentioned look, although Li Ye did not want to go, he could not help but go. In the end, he could only warily walk to Bai Qian’s side, ready to serve her.

However, unexpectedly… Bai Qian directly kicked Li Ye’s calf. When Li Ye was unsteady, Bai Qian directly reached out and pulled Li Ye into her arms. Then, she reached out and flicked his nose. When Li Ye’s face turned red, she finally let go of him.

“Your Majesty! What are you doing? Men and women should not touch each other. I… I…”

After being teased by Bai Qian, Li Ye no longer cared about the difference in status. With a face full of shame, he finished speaking and then pushed the door open and left.

However, due to his previous habit, Li Ye closed the door again when he was outside.

After Bai Qian laughed heartily, her smile quickly disappeared. Recalling her memories before she was reborn… in her previous life, it was not until the Emperor was poisoned to death by her that the Wang Clan began to collapse, becoming more and more decadent, and finally she sent people to confiscate their property and exterminate the clan.

Because of this, Bai Qian strongly suspected that the person who assassinated her was related to this Wang Clan.

After being reborn, it was natural to nip the danger in the bud.

However, because the Empress Dowager was still alive, the Emperor could not act against the Wang Clan… so she could only push from behind to urge the Emperor to make a decision as soon as possible.

Since the Emperor did not know the true nature of the Wang Clan, Bai Qian, using the Wang Clan’s network of alliances, brought out the evil deeds of the Wang Clan one by one, and had the spies she sent out deliver them all to the Emperor.

In her previous life, because of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor could not do anything to the Wang Clan.

He could not even abandon the female general Gu Mengyao, who was his helper, and let the Empress Dowager send her to the border, never to return to the capital.

This made Bai Qian very angry… because by the time she ascended the throne, Gu Mengyao had already been secretly harmed by villains and died young.

With one less general on the battlefield, and facing the covetous glances of other countries, Linfeng Kingdom was indeed too strained.

Coupled with the internal chaos, people revolting and then being brutally suppressed, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a loss of life.

As a result, Bai Qian directly gave up struggling, thinking about living one day at a time, and began to indulge in pleasure, making the situation in Linfeng Kingdom even worse.

And now, after being reborn, Bai Qian had no intention of following the old path.

Although she still wanted to obtain the throne, she could not be as absurd as in her previous life. Gu Mengyao in this life had not had any accidents, and was now a young girl. Bai Qian could absolutely protect Gu Mengyao as she grew up.

No one would dare to harm Gu Mengyao.

Moreover, Gu Mengyao’s husband did not seem like an ordinary person, and he should be of great use in the future.

Linfeng Kingdom was destined to be in her grasp!

“Brother-in-law, are my dad and my sister really coming back?”

“Mm, go to bed early. You should be able to see them tomorrow.”

“Wow! I almost can’t believe it. I was just mumbling about when they would come back, and I didn’t expect it to be so soon!”

At night, Gu Yu was about to go to sleep, but Gu Qingheng directly pushed the door open and entered, then jumped onto the bed and tossed and turned.

Then, when he poked his head out from under the quilt, Gu Qingheng excitedly asked Gu Yu, making Gu Yu immediately reach out and tap his head.

Then Gu Yu did not tease his younger brother-in-law, but nodded to him, indicating that Gu Qing and Gu Mengyao were returning soon.

When Gu Yu received the letter today, he could not help but run around the room for several laps, cheering for a long time!

He was finally going to see his little wife.

After such a long separation, Gu Yu was eager to see Gu Mengyao, to see if she had suffered, if she had eaten well! Had she lost weight…

“Brother-in-law, such a big thing, you told the servant to tell me… I completely didn’t believe it. I thought they were joking with me!”

“They wouldn’t dare to joke with you. Alright, go to sleep quickly! Otherwise, when I go to welcome them tomorrow, you’ll still be sleeping in.”

“I think… brother-in-law, you should worry about yourself and not oversleep tomorrow. At that time, I’ll have to come and wake you up.”

“…”

Finally, after sending the mischievous younger brother-in-law away, Gu Yu, to prevent himself from oversleeping tomorrow, did not continue to overthink things and forced himself to sleep.

As a result, Gu Yu did not fall asleep until dawn.

With two big dark circles under his eyes, he washed and dressed, and then ran into his younger brother-in-law, who also had dark circles. The two of them could not help but smile at each other, knowing that neither of them had slept well.

Then, because the letter did not specify the exact time, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng did not eat their meals and directly took the carriage towards the city gate.

When they arrived, the city gate had not yet been opened. The patrolling government soldiers saw Gu Yu and his party and were about to come over to question them. However, upon seeing the exclusive pattern of the Gu Residence on the carriage, they immediately became respectful and did not dare to say anything more, and even opened the city gate earlier.

Gu Yu did not say anything about the soldiers’ respect. He just nodded at them, then took out some silver from his pocket and threw it over, making the faces of several soldiers light up.

Now, they could have a few more cups of wine!

After leaving the city gate, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng stood in front of the city wall and began to wait for the army to return.

“Brother-in-law, did you not sleep last night! Hehehe…”

“You’re talking about me? You didn’t sleep either, did you? Xia Tian is sleeping in the carriage now, you should go and sleep for a while too!”

“No, I’m fine! I can’t sleep thinking about my dad and my sister coming back.”

“Look at you. You’re so excited.”

“Tsk, you’re talking about me, but aren’t you also very anxious inside, brother-in-law!”

“Who says? I’m not!”

As they spoke, Gu Yu mocked his younger brother-in-law, saying that Gu Qingheng was too young and couldn’t keep things in his heart, and was so excited that he couldn’t sleep.

However, Gu Qingheng quickly retorted, making Gu Yu finally say with a serious expression that he was not anxious at all!

However…

“A’Yu!!!”

“Mengyao? Wife, I missed you so much!”

A horse galloped rapidly towards the city gate from afar. When it got closer to the city gate, Gu Mengyao, who was riding the horse, saw her husband and brother, and her expression became surprised and delighted, even her eyes were a little red.

She had returned safely!
