What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 51

    Upon hearing Qingzhu’s incomplete statement, Li Ruowang didn’t get angry.

    Instead, she continued to transmit her thoughts, “Does Ye Nian consider him as her father?”

    Qingzhu was greatly shocked and immediately knelt down.

    How could the Empress know about this matter?@@@@

    Yesterday, when she returned to the palace with Ye Nian, she intended to report what happened at Haolin Villa to Li Ruowang.

    However, Li Ruowang had already retired by then, so Qingzhu didn’t get the chance to report it.

    But now, Li Ruowang knew about it.

    Did she figure it out on her own? Or was there someone else besides her protecting Princess Ye Nian in the shadows?

    If it was the latter, then Qingzhu alone not keeping a close watch on Ye Nian and letting her run amok would be a capital offense.

    Thinking of this, Qingzhu quickly said, “I deserve death.”

    Li Ruowang paid no attention to her trembling and instead took Ye Nian’s small hand, softly asking, “Nian’er, do you think that masked man looks like your father?”

    Ye Nian turned her head towards where Ye Yu was and whispered immediately, “Mother, I heard him speak yesterday. The first sentence sounded like daddy, but the rest didn’t. I don’t know what’s going on.”

    A perfect curve formed at the corner of Li Ruowang’s mouth. “Ye Yu, it seems I’ve found you.”

    On the other side, Ye Liangyan of the Great Qian Dynasty had already begun to step forward and announce the great achievements of Li Ruowang’s reign.

    Following tradition, after the praise was completed, it would be time for representatives from various sects to present birthday gifts.

    Li Ruowang accepted them gladly and reciprocated with gifts from the Great Qian Dynasty.

    As the banquet was about to conclude, what surprised everyone was that just as Ye Liangyan had begun reading halfway through, sounds of conflict suddenly erupted outside the Ascension Platform.

    This left everyone puzzled.

    The next moment, the massive gates of the platform were instantly broken open, and a middle-aged man riding a tall horse slowly approached.

    Behind him followed four giants standing ten meters tall, their fierce appearance emitting a foul aura that was extremely repulsive.

    Saintess Yun Roumu’s expression became extremely serious. She murmured, “The Southern Four Evils? Why did they come to this place?”

    Hearing this, Ye Yu curiously asked, “Senior Sister, what are the Southern Four Evils?”

    “It is said that these four giants come from the Southern Barbarian Continent.”

    Immediately, military generals stepped forward to shield Li Ruowang.

    Meanwhile, the civil officials began to voice their criticisms.

    However, since Li Guanglu had already decided to rebel, he was not swayed by these officials.

    With a wave of his hand, hundreds of warriors descended from the sky on the outskirts.

    Shortly after, nearly ten thousand armored soldiers poured out through the great gates of the Ascension Platform, forming ranks at the front.

    Seeing this scene unfold, the faces of all the civil and military officials present turned pale.

    Li Guanglu’s arrival in the capital with such a large force without any prior warning indicated meticulous planning over a long period.

    Facing nearly ten times the enemy’s numbers, the Empress was in imminent danger.

    The situation on the field became clear in an instant.

    Ye Yu, observing this, couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

    He quickly transmitted his thoughts to Yun Roumu, asking, “Senior Sister, the Great Qian Dynasty is in alliance with us from the Azure Cloud Sect after all, really, can’t we help?”

    “We cannot! Cultivators are not to participate in human empire battles; that’s the rule. Breaking it would make us a target of everyone’s ire. Besides, our alliance is with the Great Qian Dynasty, not who becomes the emperor, which isn’t crucial for us.”

    Yun Roumu shook her head earnestly, giving Ye Yu a serious answer.

    This response left Ye Yu in a dilemma.

    It wasn’t that he wanted to marry Li Ruowang again, but it didn’t mean he wished for her demise either.

    After all, they had once been husband and wife.

    Not to mention, there was Ye Nian, the little girl who was his own flesh and blood. Naturally, Ye Yu couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

    On the field, Li Guanglu spoke loudly, “My dear niece, surrender obediently, and I’ll give you a way out. Otherwise, you will certainly die. Don’t hope for a miracle.”

    “I’ve already investigated thoroughly; all the Blood Guards have been sent away by you and are not in the capital. No one will come to save you now.”

    Li Ruowang’s expression remained calm.

    She slowly stepped down from the throne and walked straight to the front, her sleeves fluttering.

    “The Great Qian Dynasty will purge the rebels!”

    The cultivators and soldiers who were loyal to Li Ruowang immediately charged forward.

    Li Guanglu, however, shook his head disdainfully and looked at Ye Nian on the throne.

    He beckoned to the Southern Four Evils standing beside him.
