Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 383: Seizing Power, Cutting Down the Feudatories, and Surprise!

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Seizing Power, Cutting Down the Feudatories, and Surprise!

He’s gone mad! This is truly madness!

How much does Qi Yun value General Xiping, Cao Yin? And now he actually wants to strip him of his military position and take away his troops?

It’s one thing, but what about Prince Lingjiang, Qi Junlian?

What mistake did he make? Just because his son has some association with Li Qingmu, must he give up his military power and return to the capital?

This is not returning to the capital; this is reducing feudal power!

They want to take away his position as Prince Lingjiang!

This Emperor is confused with rage, truly going mad!

The crowd is puzzled, but if they think carefully, it is also reasonable.

How much did the Emperor value Li Qingmu before? How good was he to him? But now he’s gone mad after finally finding his son. Li Qingmu, due to his private grievances with the Seventeenth Prince, schemed conspiracies and slaughtered so many innocent civilians!

This is the act of a demon!

The Emperor only detained him, didn’t hold him accountable, nor touched his family, and this was a great act of grace, but you don’t feel grateful? And his wife, she dared to proclaim mobilizing the Cao Family Army to storm the Imperial Palace to save someone?

Calling it rescue, but how is it different from treason?

No wonder the Emperor was furious!

Taking away your military power was just!

Pang Wenzheng watched the Imperial Eunuch leave, eyes flickering with excitement.

If heavens wish someone to perish, they first drive them mad!

No matter how wise and mighty a Emperor is, in old age, they always become muddled. It’s an indisputable fact unless this Emperor abdicates before he becomes muddled.

But how many such Emperors are there?

Throughout history, hundreds, thousands of years, in the rolling river of history, how many Supreme Emperors are there? Very few!

Power is irresistible; once you sit in that seat, you don’t want to leave, hence many Emperors seek immortality!

Therefore, Emperors basically rule until death.

Pang Wenzheng thought this Emperor was about the same, fifty years old, thirty to establish, forty to be without confusion, fifty to know destiny. At this age, it’s time for the mind to become confused!

He sneered inwardly, then quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, by no means! General Cao is an important minister, and Xinan entirely depends on his defense. If he steps down, it might cause turmoil..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Holy Emperor, please reconsider!"

Members of Pang Wenzheng’s faction came forward to persuade, along with other factions from the court’s interests.

With a shadowed gaze, Qi Yun looked at the ministers below, suddenly sneered, "Why, could it be that in the mighty Dazhou, there isn’t a single person who can lead troops?"

"Boom!"

These words shocked the ministers, promptly a few generals stood out, claiming they could lead the army!

Then two, three, four...

Many generals stepped forward, including some from Pang Wenzheng’s faction.

Qi Yun looked at these generals, rarely showing a gratified expression: "Fine, after the New Year, choose an auspicious day, and compete at the hunting grounds! Not only in personal martial prowess but also in commanding leadership, the victor shall receive this Tiger Talisman from me!"

"Yes, I accept the order!"

...

The afternoon after Long Yue declared she would lead the Cao Family Army to storm the Imperial Palace to rescue, the General Mansion was surrounded.

A total of three thousand Imperial Guards came, unceremoniously surrounding the General Mansion tightly, not letting even a fly out, everyone is allowed in, but not out!

Duanmu Nan worried about Long Yue’s health and feared she might be poisoned, so he stayed in the General Mansion, while Yun Jin was outside delivering food to them.

Qi Yun ordered the mansion to be surrounded, which to outsiders seemed a complete break with Cao Yin, but Li Qingmu knew he was protecting his wife.

Underground quiet room.

Li Qingmu had been awake for three days, his body still faintly aching, but much better than before, leaning against a soft golden silk pillow, drinking ginseng soup personally brewed by Qi Yun.

Hmm, and personally fed.

"Your Majesty, I... actually don’t need to eat this."

Li Qingmu finished the last mouthful of ginseng soup, said.

Isn’t this stuff too nourishing? I am not that weak, right?

Qi Yun laughed and scolded: "You reckless little thing, after you’ve drunk it, you tell me this?"

Uh, alright, it’s too late.

Li Qingmu smiled awkwardly, licked his lips, and drank the last drop of ginseng soup, good stuff shouldn’t be wasted.

Qi Yun looked at his cunning appearance, couldn’t help but laugh.

Suddenly, Qi Yun restrained his smile, expressions became serious:"Mu’er, there’s something I must tell you."

Li Qingmu’s gaze tightened, was it bad news?

His Yue’er...

His heart tightened, both hands clenched into fists.

"Your lady... is pregnant, congratulations, you’re going to be a father!"

Li Qingmu slightly opened his mouth, his entire being fell into stiffness, as if struck by lightning, unmoving.

This state lasted for a long time before gradually fading away.

His handsome face twitched: "She... is pregnant?"

Qi Yun nodded: "Yes, pregnant. I sent someone who saw a man in white enter, only then did I know. That man... named Duanmu Nan? Yue’er’s master?"

Li Qingmu difficultly nodded.

Qi Yun: "A good doctor, very skilled in medicine, I originally worried your lady might not endure the blow and do something foolish. Now that she has a child, she might say to control herself."

"She won’t!" Li Qingmu shook his head; in this world, no one understands Yue’er better than him; she wouldn’t just ignore her own life for a mere attachment. "Otherwise, Your Majesty wouldn’t have confined her in the General Mansion, worried she might cause trouble, wouldn’t you?"

Qi Yun slightly tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Why do you still call me Your Majesty?"

Li Qingmu looked up confused: "Then... what should I call you?"

At this instant, the atmosphere turned awkward, Qi Yun didn’t know what to say.

"Do you want to, send her a letter?"

After a long while, Qi Yun broke the awkwardness first.

Li Qingmu thought for a moment and closed his eyes in pain: "No, don’t! This way... the play isn’t real anymore... life is like a play; if it can’t be performed realistically, then this play collapses!"

Qi Yun silently watched him, his heart grew heavy. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

To perform this play, he sacrificed a lot; he sacrificed... the bond of father and son!

This child must surely resent him!

"Mu’er, that day, was so true, so true, even I was almost deceived by you. Those people, truly startled me!"

Qi Yun sighed repeatedly.

It was truly eye-opening, truly eye-opening; in this world, there really are people who would betray for glory?

Li Qingmu slightly shook his head: "No, that day, I was scared too! I never expected...

I always thought Wang Xiaoliu had issues; Qingming was constantly monitoring everyone’s movements within the General Mansion, four months ago, I discovered Wang Xiaoliu’s actions were suspicious.

I always let him be, wanting to draw out the person behind the scenes. Later, after the Luanshi Ridge incident, I knew the enemy was starting to act, then with Qian Yi, Qingshui Village...

I initially only thought he would betray, but truly never expected, betrayal came also from Huanhuan, and... Brother Chai. As for the Li Family member, I was shocked but also expected."

Li Qingmu looked up, glanced at the dome overhead, gave a wry smile: "It was truly... surprising, that day, they gave me a huge surprise, hahaha..."
