”No matter what happens in the future, don't think about how you're going to threaten me first. Don't scheme how you're going to embarrass me.” The Emperor turned around and his dignified gaze descended upon Ling Yu. ”This is the first and last time.”

Ershan was greatly embarrassed, and deeply bowed in admiration.

”The empress came forward to settle this matter this time. I humbly request that you and your wife be the judges. Otherwise, I would never have interfered.” The Emperor said coldly, ”I, the Emperor, am not for you alone, not for your family. I am the monarch of this world.”

”...” ”Yes.” Ershan stiffly agreed.

”When you see a person starve to death while I am indifferent, you will think, this Emperor, he can't even save a single civilian, so what is he saying about the world?” Xiang Run said, ”But did you see the other nine people coming back alive after eating their fill?”

Ershan raised his head and looked at the monarch, his eyes shining with reverence.

Xiang Run said solemnly: ”Lord Tang is getting old, we want to keep you company as a follower. You and your brother Bi Zhenye are both talented, and of noble character. Ling Yu, we will command our Ministry Of Justice to investigate this matter thoroughly, but whether you and Bi Zhenye will continue to be brothers or become enemies from now on, you can decide on your own. ”

Ershan was stunned, although this question was in his heart long ago, but who was the one to make the decision for his deceased mother and child who had yet to see the light of day?

Who would be able to relieve Lian Yi's grief? Who would be able to tell Lian Yi that in this world, there would still be good returns and evil rewards.

The emperor said: Ling Chaofeng, come and play chess with me. We have been planning to open up another mountain and build another weapons factory.

Ling Chaofeng looked at his younger brother who was kneeling on the ground, and followed the Emperor.

On this side, the Queen saw that Lord Ling was still kneeling, so she invited the various madams to stop and bring her Palace Maid over. After that, she also invited the Palace Maid to stay behind and come to Ling Xiang's side.

”Esteemed Empress, it's been a long time.” Ye Zichen lowered his head.

”Lord Ling, please rise.” The empress said, ”Lord Ling, please get up and speak.”

Ershan stood up and retreated a few steps.

Siyan went straight to the point: ”If one does indeed commit a crime committed by a Mrs. Bi, then using the laws of the Daqi, one must face the consequences of their death. But if she died, perhaps it would be a kind of release for her. He could end this ridiculous life of hers early. Was this still considered punishment? It would be better to leave her alive and see how well the people he had hurt. In this way, for those who you care about, leave their loved ones with their lives, and you will do your best. ”

Ershan's expression tensed, and did not say a word.

Empress said, ”Madam Ling is kind and tolerant. She will definitely get better.”

Ershan bowed deeply as he kowtowed to thank the Queen for her grace.

The empress laughed and said, ”It was a serious illness a year ago, almost separated from the emperor's Yin and Yang. In my dream during my illness, I seem to see a woman who uses her little heart to contain the heavens and the earth. ”

Siyan looked up at the sky. In the blink of an eye, several months had passed, but the sick dream space had not become any clearer, but it had not become any blurrier either.

”Empress, this subject has a presumptuous request.” Ling Fei suddenly said.

”Do you want to invite me to visit Madam Ling?” The Queen laughed.

In Ershan's eyes, there was a tinge of happiness, his aura had become clear, and he pleaded: ”Empress, brother Ling Chaofeng's marriage is imminent. May this official ask for a gift from the Empress, a gift for this subject's sister-in-law who has not yet passed on. This subject has taken the liberty. Please forgive me, esteemed lady. ”

Siyan laughed and said, ”How can the Emperor and I miss such a good thing? Tomorrow, I will send the bestowal to the Residence from Fate Palace. ”But you have to return the gesture. Your majesty and I will wait for the wedding wine to eat the wedding candy.”

Ershan was overjoyed, kowtowing and thanking the Queen. Siyan looked at him, his heart filled with joy, the bride who was about to be married was someone he had never seen before. Why was he so close to her?

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed and Madam Xu's fever had gradually decreased.

No matter what, she had to rely on the Xiaowan to serve her. Even if she did not change her dead nature, she would not treat her stepdaughter as a human being and would not court death right now.

That afternoon, she was cutting firewood in her courtyard. A strange face passed by the door and looked at Xiaowan a few times, but went to the Aunt Wang's house next door.

Xiaowan thought that their relatives must have come to see Uncle Wang. The Wang Family had really made a big heart out of it, to have committed such a thing, they felt too embarrassed to have their relatives come to visit.

Of course, this had nothing to do with her. When she heard that her father was already on his way back, she would immediately return to the inn when her father came or when Madam Xu was able to wake up.

But in the evening, when the relatives next door had left, Aunt Wang suddenly appeared in front of her house and coldly asked Xiaowan, ”Is that lowly trash awake?”

Xiaowan nodded her head stiffly. She then saw Aunt Wang pick up a broom, rolled up her sleeves and rushed into the house. Xiaowan came in to take a look. She saw Aunt Wang was grabbing her stepmother's clothes, waving a broom and hitting her. Madam Xu wailed like a pig being slaughtered, and hid herself in a corner.

Xiaowan brought Wen Juan out from the corner of the wall.

”Nope.” Xiaowan wiped away her tears, ”I'm not afraid, big sister is here.”
