70: Don't let Xuan'er know

“Empress Ye Ningzhi, receive the imperial decree!”

Su Xuan directly pulled out the imperial decree.

Upon hearing this, Empress Ye Ningzhi instinctively knelt down.

By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

This Emperor is incompetent. Effective today, this Emperor voluntarily dissolves the marriage alliance with Empress Ye Ningzhi.

Empress Ye Ningzhi is hereby ordered to marry Su Xuan of the Su Family as a concubine.

Defiance of this order shall be met with execution. By imperial order!

“Impossible… This is impossible… How could His Majesty…?”

Empress Ye Ningzhi was filled with shock, her body trembling uncontrollably. The Old Emperor actually voluntarily dissolved his marriage with her, and wanted her to marry Su Xuan as a concubine?

My goodness, is this real? One must know that Ning Yixuan is Su Xuan's wife, and she, as a mother, would become a concubine?

“Receive the decree!”

Su Xuan directly placed the imperial decree into Empress Ye Ningzhi’s hand.

Empress Ye Ningzhi, in disbelief, took the imperial decree. She was certain that the imperial decree before her was real, not fake!

That meant everything Su Xuan had just said was also true!

Qi Country was destroyed! The Old Emperor abdicated and yielded his position! And even gave her to Su Xuan as a concubine!

“Ye… Empress Ye Ningzhi receives the imperial decree…”

Empress Ye Ningzhi trembled, her hand shakily taking the imperial decree from Su Xuan.

“Empress, what more do you have to say now? Even your husband voluntarily betrothed you to me?”

Su Xuan lifted Empress Ye Ningzhi’s chin, his face full of smugness.

“I… I have nothing to say…”

Empress Ye Ningzhi admitted defeat. Su Xuan had even produced the imperial decree; what more could she say?

As for defying the decree and not accepting it, Empress Ye Ningzhi hadn't even considered it. Even if she defied it, Su Xuan would forcefully…

Rather than suffering, it was better to take this opportunity to leave a good impression on Su Xuan.

“You are a smart woman. I like doing anything with smart women!”

Su Xuan laughed.

“Why me? There are many other women in the imperial palace, aren’t there? Why did you specifically choose me?”

Empress Ye Ningzhi couldn't help but ask.

Empress Ye Ningzhi felt that there was nothing about her that Su Xuan would value.

Firstly, her age was already considered advanced, and secondly, her figure and appearance were not the best.

The third and most important point! That was her relationship with Ning Yixuan…

Su Xuan, he was more or less deranged, wasn’t he?

“Hehehe, Empress, I know what you are thinking. Those things you are thinking might be minuses for others, but for me, they are definite pluses!”

“Empress, I just like women like you!”

As Su Xuan spoke, he pulled Empress Ye Ningzhi into his embrace.

Hearing Su Xuan’s words, Empress Ye Ningzhi was somewhat taken aback. She hadn't expected Su Xuan to have such a preference!

Although Empress Ye Ningzhi did not approve of Su Xuan’s preference, for her current situation, Su Xuan’s preference actually helped her.

After all, since Su Xuan had said so, he wouldn’t treat her badly in the future!

“Does Ning Yixuan know about this?”

Empress Ye Ningzhi couldn't help but ask.

“Don’t worry, she doesn’t know yet, but that might change later!”

Su Xuan laughed.

“If possible, I don’t want Ning Yixuan to know. This is my last request!”

“I don’t want my final image to be completely ruined in front of Ning Yixuan!”

“Please, Young Master Su, as long as you grant me this request, no matter what you do to me next, I will not refuse you!”

Empress Ye Ningzhi looked at Su Xuan pitifully.

In front of Ning Yixuan, Empress Ye Ningzhi’s image had always been high-class, refined, and subtly authoritative.

If Ning Yixuan were to know about this, wouldn't her long-established image in Ning Yixuan’s eyes be completely destroyed?

Su Xuan looked at Empress Ye Ningzhi’s pitiful appearance, and a ripple stirred in his heart.

“Alright, I promise you! This matter, only you and I will know, and Heaven and Earth will know; no third person will know!”

Su Xuan laughed.

Madam, you are still too naive! Your mind is like your skin.

Although Su Xuan guaranteed that no third person would know, he didn't say that no fourth or fifth person would know!

“Then I can rest assured…”

After speaking, Empress Ye Ningzhi transformed, her previously resistant expression instantly changing.

It was hard to imagine that the woman looking at him with affection now had, not long ago, regarded him as an enemy!

“Indeed, when it comes to acting, our older generation of artists are more composed!”

Su Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully changing the plot! Reward: 50,000 Villain Points! Ning Village’s Luck Value decreases by 5000!】

…

“Compared to that Old Emperor, who is more formidable?”

Su Xuan laughed.

“Naturally, you are more formidable! He was completely conquered by you…”

Empress Ye Ningzhi looked at Su Xuan with affection.

“I mean, in terms of cultivation! When the Old Emperor was young, compared to my current cultivation, who was more formidable?”

Su Xuan patted Empress Ye Ningzhi’s head, telling her not to overthink.

“Then of course, you, Husband, are more formidable!”

Empress Ye Ningzhi answered without hesitation.

Su Xuan had just displayed his cultivation, and Empress Ye Ningzhi then realized that Su Xuan, at such a young age, was already at the King Sealing Realm!

Such talent had never been seen in the history of the entire Qi Country. No wonder Su Xuan had the ability to overthrow Qi Country!

“Hahahaha! Not bad, not bad! I am very satisfied with your answer!”

Su Xuan patted Empress Ye Ningzhi’s backside, and Empress Ye Ningzhi couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. You’ve just been through a big battle, so rest well here! I still have some matters to attend to; I’ll come find you tonight!”

With that, Su Xuan put on his pants and vanished in a flash.

Watching Su Xuan’s departing back, Empress Ye Ningzhi’s heart couldn't stop pounding.

Such a young and outstanding talent actually took a liking to her; she had truly found a treasure!

Leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Su Xuan went to find Fire Elder.

“Fire Elder, how are things with the matter I troubled you with earlier?”

Su Xuan asked.

“My Lord! According to your instructions, everyone in the imperial palace with cultivation above the King Sealing Realm is here!”

“Some disobedient ones, I’ve already killed them and scattered their ashes. These ones are obedient!”

Fire Elder pointed to a large group of people who were tied up and trembling on the ground.

“Lord Su, spare my life! Don’t kill me! You know, I’ve been loyal to the Su Family since I was young; I was only here as an undercover agent…”

“Lord Su! Spare my life! From now on, my Wang Family is willing to submit and serve as slaves for generations!”

“Wuwuwu, Lord Su, I have a beautiful and charming wife at home. If you don’t mind, My Lord… I only ask that you spare my life!”
