One night passed.
Before we knew it, the sun was high in the sky.
Both sides have expended considerable energy.
Chen Fan looked at Murong Yan in his arms.
Her arms were wrapped around her long, flowing hair, her forehead was clean, her neck was as white as snow, her shoulders and back were beautiful, and her collarbone was exquisitely beautiful. She was stunning, even if you only glanced at her briefly.
However, her appearance remained as stunning as ever, her temperament outstanding and unapproachable.
This temperament and aura are truly ingrained in one's very being. No matter the circumstances!
Can you believe it?
Murong Yan also stared at Chen Fan with her beautiful eyes.
It turned out that it was already daylight, but they almost didn't realize it because of that.
"Madam, it's time to get up for the morning court session," Chen Fan teased.
An emperor has given him an heir; his life is secure.
Now that she's his woman, he'll naturally treat her well.
However, this wife's arrival was somewhat unexpected.
As for age, he didn't care. He could have children anyway, and besides, older single women are often more attractive and have more charm; he'd like to learn more about them.
Upon hearing this title, Murong Yan tilted her head. "I'm now a lady!"
The word was still a little unfamiliar to her. But thinking about how many times she heard it last night, it became less unfamiliar.
"My husband, I will definitely bear you children." After they finished, he called her "husband" many times, without any sense of unease.
For the royal families of various dynasties, the continuation and prosperity of the imperial lineage were of great importance, so the Great Emperor had many women.
It could be said that this is why she was ostracized by the ancestors and forced to marry. However, she was stronger and killed them all, so the conflict remained unresolved.
But it's no use to her now. She's not an emperor; she's here for the sake of the Chen Lineage and the continuation of her husband's lineage, not royalty.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan realized something was amiss.
"Madam, did that girl Feng Yao say something to you?"
I have serious doubts that it's the eldest disciple causing trouble again.
This seriously damages his image as a respected teacher!
Murong Yan: "..."
My husband guessed it! Is Bai Fengyao any good as a strategist? She'd be dead on the battlefield if she went like that.
"My husband, this has nothing to do with her."
Without blushing or skipping a beat.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan did not insist further.
"Madam, when do you plan to return to the Dilo Sacred Dynasty?"
In this way, he wouldn't lose out. With Murong Yan as his wife, even if the Dilo Sacred Dynasty were large, it would be easier to bring it under his control, and they would become one family.
Everyone was happy.
Murong Yan hesitated for a moment.
"My husband, will you come back with me?"
Although her high position feels a bit out of place, I have to admit, I can also compete with my husband!
Surprising, isn't it? He's still very young and energetic!
"Of course," Chen Fan said. "There are still a few days until the Lineage Grand Gathering, so it's only right that I accompany you back to the Dilo Sacred Dynasty."
The Lineage Grand Gathering posed little threat to him; as long as he wasn't late, that was fine.
Murong Yan smiled.
"Good."
She had already revealed herself beforehand, and her husband was proof enough! Those old patriarchs should shut up now, right?
Moreover, she didn't plan to leave the Chen Lineage so soon; staying a few more days would be more secure. But if her husband went back with her, that would be fine too; he could stay in her palace.
Then, when they got up...
Those little specks of crimson were quite noticeable.
They even exchanged a glance.
Chen Fan, of course, felt absolutely no embarrassment at the moment.
He kissed Murong Yan's clean forehead.
Murong Yan said, "I do not understand why my husband has done this."
But Bai Fengyao was right after all. Having children... the process of having children is fine too. It's the fastest way for them to get closer and understand each other better.
She gently stroked her flat stomach with her jade-like hand, remembering Bai Fengyao's reminder.
I must become a mother!
At this very moment.
The Dilo Sacred Dynasty.
Inside the ancestral land of the royal family, a group of elders gathered together.
They've been incredibly busy lately, suppressing forces in all directions. Logically, they shouldn't be involved; they should only intervene when the fate of the Dilo Sacred Dynasty is at stake.
But Great Emperor Dilo didn't see her anywhere!
Moreover, this is also a major event concerning the expansion of their Dilo Sacred Dynasty's territory, and the ancestor who made contributions to the expansion will also be proud.
So he emerged from seclusion and went around suppressing and commanding.
Now we can finally catch our breath.
"I've heard that His Majesty is with the Chen Lineage patriarch and is causing trouble everywhere..." one of the patriarchs asked, voicing a question from the depths of his soul.
It can be said that the chaos on the mainland is all because of the Chen Lineage.
Now, Murong Yan disregarded her imperial status and ran out after them.
He even personally took action to kill the patriarchs of various powerful forces.
Although the Dilo Sacred Dynasty will not be wary, this will become a dark chapter in their history, and in the future, no matter what, those forces will not align themselves with the Dilo Sacred Dynasty.
The relationship was severed in one fell swoop.
Another ancestor, somewhat profound.
"Does His Majesty perhaps wish to cultivate a closer relationship with the Chen Lineage?"
This is questionable.
Although the Chen Lineage did indeed indirectly provide the Dilo Sacred Dynasty with enormous benefits, it was reasonable for them to get closer.
But they've gotten too close! An emperor is the greatest honor for the royal family, and for him to personally intervene is incredibly disrespectful! It's tantamount to announcing to the world that the Dilo Sacred Dynasty and the Chen Lineage are united.
If any unexpected problems arise that are difficult to handle, the Dilo Sacred Dynasty will inevitably be dragged down with it.
"There's no doubt about that; anyone with eyes can see that His Majesty intends to do this. Otherwise, who would be able to order her around?"
Since they were now involved with the Chen Lineage, they couldn't say much.
"But compared to that, I'm more worried about them... Oh dear, what if things go wrong?"
Upon hearing this, the elders frowned.
"Really? He was an emperor, after all, and a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm Eighth Stage!"
"No way? I doubt it. I've never seen His Majesty treat anyone like this before."
Thinking back, they wanted Murong Yan to bear a royal heir, but she refused. The potential husbands they introduced to her were all executed.
She said she wanted to pursue the pinnacle of achievement and had no interest in love.
She wouldn't agree to step down, and she can't even win a fight against him. What kind of situation is this?!
Murong Yan's current unusual state is causing them considerable concern.
because...
Upon hearing this, the elders fell silent.
"No matter what, we must stop it!"
The Chen Lineage is not easy to deal with. If something happens between them, then we're finished.
It's not that they don't want to see it, but would the Chen Lineage patriarch be willing to marry into their Dilo Sacred Dynasty?
If you don't want to, then it's not okay!
No way!
Murong Yan is a king!
"That makes sense. Just in case, we should quickly find another suitable imperial consort to avoid any further unforeseen circumstances..."
"Would she agree?" Thinking of those powerful figures who were killed by Murong Yan, no one dares to come now.
The patriarchs fell silent again.
"Even if you disagree, we have to try again... Now that her cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and the Dilo Sacred Dynasty has reached its current state, there are no excuses this time. If she still refuses, we'll force her to abdicate and install another monarch to continue our royal bloodline!"
"And this imperial son-in-law, no one dares to come; we'll have to kidnap him!"
"That makes sense... Wait, what if Murong Yan runs away with the Chen Lineage patriarch? What should we do then?"
They wanted Murong Yan to abdicate, but they had no intention of marrying her off; otherwise, it would be a huge loss for the royal family!
Ah, this...
