Chapter 5 The Emperor Is Furious

The imperial chariot returned to the palace in a mighty manner. Emperor Zhaocheng stepped out of the imperial chariot with Yan Li in his arms, walked quickly into the gate of Fengyang Palace, and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the doctor to the girl!"

"This slave obeys your order."

All the way into Fengyang Palace, the emperor put Yan Li on the bed and walked out of the inner hall. The anger in his stern voice could no longer be suppressed, "Call the prince here too!"

"Yes." Someone from the palace took the order and trotted out.

The bed was very soft, and the hall was filled with wisps of comforting fragrance.

Yan Li was drowsy in this sweet fragrance, half asleep and half awake. Someone called her in her ear, but she was too lazy to respond. When she was fully awake, she found herself lying on the bed, with a woman next to her carefully checking her injuries for fear of hurting her.

She smells of herbs, so she must be a medical woman.

But no matter how careful they were, the pain was real. Yan Li frowned. She didn't know how bad her state was at this time. She only felt a memory that did not belong to her slowly pouring into her mind.

Yan Li, the granddaughter of Taifu Jiang of the Mu Kingdom, grew up in the Taifu's Mansion. Her uncle and aunt always told her that her mother, Jiang Yi, had a private relationship for life, but she was abandoned by the man after she got pregnant. He gave this daughter who had corrupted the family a place to stay.

Jiang Yi passed away shortly after the Jiang family gave birth to Yan Li. The emperor was grateful for the tutor's teachings. In order to appease the tutor's pain of losing his daughter, the emperor betrothed Yan Li to the current prince Mu Hanxiu thirteen years ago, and asked her to be his future wife. The Crown Princess.

For more than ten years, my grandfather, uncle, and aunt have been telling her that they are Yan Li’s benefactors and want her to be grateful.

Yan Li had always been very grateful in the past. She obeyed her grandfather's advice and was respectful and filial to her uncle and aunt. The cautiousness of relying on others was clearly reflected in her.

But what about being obedient?

No matter how obedient and obedient you are, you can't resist the calculation of selfish interests.

In order to make Jiang Jingyue the crown princess, they did not hesitate to use such dirty methods on a fourteen-year-old girl.

Oh, Taifu?

What a highly respected tutor.

The innocent and weak Yan Li was dead, died under their ruthless beatings, and was replaced by her, the supreme empress of the Canglan Continent who was both civilized and military. She once conquered the world with iron cavalry and made the generals of various countries change their expressions upon hearing this; Zeng Chaotang He was in charge of the world and made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty bow in awe and submission; he also killed an enemy general with one arrow, causing the enemy army to disperse and flee.

She knows all about military strategy, Qimen Dunjia, and poison medicine. Who is her opponent in the world?

If he hadn't been plotted by the person he trusted the most... there would be a sharp stabbing pain in his heart, followed by hatred.

Since God allowed her to be reborn as Yan Li, she is bound to use this identity to stir up the world again and change the situation.

A little prince of the Mu Kingdom, a selfish and stupid Taifu, not even worthy of being her stepping stone!

There was a low pressure in the hall. After the medical ladies cut off Yan Li's clothes bit by bit, one of them walked to the outer hall and respectfully reported Yan Li's injury to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Miss Yan is relatively weak. The injury on the forehead was caused by a heavy blow and hitting the ground. The injury on the hip is serious and requires careful recovery and a good rest.”

Emperor Zhaocheng's voice was cold: "Whether it is taken internally or externally, use the best medicine for me. No scars are allowed."

"My slave obeys the order."

"You guys stay here to serve, and there is no need to go back to the Queen Mother's Palace for the time being." Emperor Zhaocheng ordered solemnly, "If anything happens to Yan Li's body, all the doctors and palace maids present will be buried with her!"

Boom, boom, boom!

All the maids in the palace knelt down and said in panicky voices, "I will serve Miss Yan well and I will never neglect you."

Yan Li lay quietly on the bed, closing her eyes and thinking. The emperor really loved the original owner, a kind of father's love for his daughter, although she knew that Yan Li could not be the emperor's daughter - after all, siblings could not get married.

But this love is indeed sincere.

"Your Majesty." A respectful and frightened little eunuch's voice sounded, "Your Highness is here."

Emperor Zhaocheng's tone was cold: "Let him get out!"

Mu Xiuhan stood outside the palace. When he heard these words, his heart sank. A bad feeling swept over him. He did not dare to delay and quickly stepped into the palace door. "My dear father, long live my father." Long live long live!”

"Xiu Han." Emperor Zhaocheng sat down on the couch, his eyebrows as cold as ice, "I have selected a candidate for the Crown Princess for you before, and it is Yan Li, Taifu Jiang's granddaughter. Do you remember?"

The prince's face changed slightly and he raised his eyes quickly: "Father?"

Emperor Zhaocheng's eyes were indifferent: "I was originally thinking that I should let you marry me back earlier. Now that you have a mistress in the East Palace, I can also help you deal with some trivial matters."

"Father!" Mu Xiuhan said in a slightly anxious tone, "My son——"

"But I have changed my mind now." Emperor Zhaocheng looked at him with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "You are not worthy of Yan Li."

Mu Xiuhan's face froze, what was his father talking about?

He is a majestic prince of a country, but he is not worthy of a cousin from the Taifu Mansion?

"Since you don't want to marry her, then I will grant you permission." Emperor Zhaocheng said calmly, "Starting today, your engagement is cancelled."

"Reporting to my father, I don't want to marry her, but I can't marry her." Mu Xiuhan gritted his teeth, as if he had suffered great humiliation, "Yan Li...she..."

Emperor Zhaocheng smiled coldly: "She can't bring you any benefits or help, so it's not worthwhile to marry her?"

"Father, I never meant that!" Mu Xiuhan was shocked and blurted out the accusation, "Yan Li behaved improperly and is not worthy of being the Crown Princess!"

Emperor Zhaocheng did not speak, just looked at him without saying a word, and the disappointment in his eyes became more and more intense.

Mu Xiuhan could not wait to tell Yan Li's story again: "I didn't want to destroy her reputation, but I saw it with my own eyes. She...she was with a man..."

"Improper?" Emperor Zhaocheng looked cold and mocking, "Yan Li is fourteen years old this year. She has never left the house since she was a child. She can get close to a man for no reason, and you just happened to see it? You are the crown prince of a country. Do you have such a little brain, or are you unwilling to find out the truth?"

The prince was shocked, "Father, everything I said is true-"

"Enough!" Emperor Zhaocheng interrupted him impatiently, revealing too much disappointment in his tone, "Xiuhan, I really look at you with new eyes."
