What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 13

【As for Ye Liangyan’s thoughts, you think he is making a big deal out of nothing.】

【The current situation is about to become chaotic. Once the emperor dies, no one can predict how the struggle for the throne among the nine princes will unfold.】

【And since Li Ruowang is the emperor’s most beloved daughter, he naturally hopes that Ye Liangyan will protect her for life.】

【In response to your statement, Ye Liangyan remains silent.】

【Then you recount your conversation with Li Ruowang in the garden.】

【Ye Liangyan’s eyes show even more confusion.】

【Fifty years?】

【Why wait so long?】

【Seeing Ye Liangyan deep in thought again, you can’t be bothered to argue and turn to go back to your room to rest.】

【The next morning, you decisively leave the Great Qian Dynasty.】

【You begin a new journey of spreading your great love.】

【For a long period after that, you act recklessly in the cultivation world.】

【Your targets are not limited to the righteous sects, as you even go after the saintesses of the demonic sects.】

【This behavior makes your name infamous in both the righteous and demonic paths.】

【Countless infatuated male cultivators see you as a mortal enemy.】

【Some even join forces to hunt you down.】

【If it weren’t for the many protective artifacts and talismans you have, you would have fallen hundreds of times.】

【But even so, you never stop your path of spreading love.】

【This causes many sects a great deal of trouble.】

【They painstakingly nurture female disciples, hoping they’ll strive for the Dao, only for you to ruin them.】

【From then on, they only know love and no longer care about cultivation.】

【Isn’t this a complete waste?】

【So, to prevent your incursions, some sects even close their gates, not allowing anyone in or out.】

【Decades pass in the blink of an eye.】

【During this time, you enjoy yourself immensely.】

【You truly achieve the feat of conquering thousands.】

【And with the support of countless devoted female cultivators, you successfully reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.】

【You are now just a step away from the Divine Transformation Realm.】

【One morning, Ye Liangyan contacts you through a communication stone, asking you to return to the Great Qian Dynasty when you have time.】

【This brings a smile to your face.】

【After being away for so long, this is the first time Ye Liangyan has asked you to come back.】

【When you first left, you planned to visit him every ten years.】

【But you were always refused.】

【There is only one reason.】

【The emperor passed away, and the Great Qian Dynasty is in turmoil. Please refrain from returning for now.】

【Over time, you stopped asking altogether.】

【As for Ye Liangyan’s safety, you never worried.】

【Ye Liangyan held a high position with numerous disciples and great influence in the court.】

【Regardless of who became the new emperor, they would need Ye Liangyan to stabilize the court.】

【In such circumstances, he was undoubtedly safe.】

【Now that Ye Liangyan dares to let you return, it must mean the that Great Qian Dynasty has stabilized.】

【This isn’t necessarily a bad thing.】

【So, you immediately set off and returned to Great Qian Dynasty.】

【However, what awaited you upon your return to the capital city was beyond shocking.】

【You saw a massive statue erected in the city.】

【The statue’s subject was Li Ruowang herself.】

【Every passing citizen would sincerely bow in reverence.】

【You found this extremely strange.】

【So, you promptly returned to the Ye residence and sought out Ye Liangyan to inquire about the statue.】

【Ye Liangyan told you that the emperor had passed away the second year after you left.】

【But instead of choosing any of his nine sons as the next emperor, the Great Qian Dynasty descended into internal conflict.】

【In the third year, Li Ruowang rose unexpectedly.】

【She declared her bid for the throne.】

【With the support of her sect, the Celestial Palace, and the Blood Guards, she ruthlessly eliminated all nine of her brothers in just half a year.】

【Thus, she became the new emperor of Great Qian Dynasty.】

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Are you kidding me?

A princess, in just half a year, kills her brothers and becomes an emperor?

Even those novels about empresses wouldn’t dare write something like this, right?

Moreover, he had seen Li Ruowang with his own eyes.

That gentle and serene woman. She simply doesn’t fit the image of an emperor at all.@@novelbin@@

【Ye Liangyan himself hadn’t anticipated this outcome.】

【However, the Great Qian Dynasty had never seen a precedent of a female emperor ascending to the throne. So in the court, many people still felt that it is against the rules.】

【At this juncture, Li Ruowang approached Ye Liangyan.】

【She told him not to forget the promise made with her father, the late emperor.】

【It was only then that Ye Liangyan finally understood.】

【Why did the late emperor drag him out to drink and ask him to take care of Li Ruowang.】

【The late emperor had long intended to pass the throne to Li Ruowang.】

【It was only because the empire had no precedent of a female emperor that he deliberately did not leave a testament, allowing his sons to contend.】

【In the end, Li Ruowang emerged unexpectedly and swept aside all opposition to seize the throne.】

【The late emperor had also considered that a female emperor would naturally face dissent. At such times, Ye Liangyan needed to step forward and play his role.】

【To awe the courtiers and help Li Ruowang stabilize her position on the throne.】

【That was the true meaning of taking care.】

【After understanding everything, Ye Liangyan truly admired the late emperor.】

【In his twilight years, making such a risky move required immense courage and determination.】

【Given this, Ye Liangyan naturally had no reason to refuse.】

【Subsequently, with his assistance.】

【A year later, the Great Qian Dynasty was united, and the people were devoted.】

【And the facts proved, that the late emperor’s choice was not wrong.】

【During Li Ruowang’s reign, she elevated the Great Qian Dynasty to its peak again, ushering in a new era of prosperity.】

【Ye Liangyan felt deeply relieved about this.】

【At the same time, he began to worry.】

【With Li Ruowang becoming the empress, to ensure the smooth succession of the dynasty, they surely needed to have heirs early.】

【But how to come up with a reason to annul the marriage with you?】

【In Ye Liangyan’s view, the late emperor’s arranged marriage was simply to tie him and Li Ruowang together on the same boat.】

【Otherwise, why would Li Ruowang mention a fifty-year timeframe to him?】

【Now that the throne was secure, annulment was only natural.】

【When Ye Liangyan thought of a reason and approached Li Ruowang, he faced rejection.】

【Li Ruowang told Ye Liangyan that the marriage was absolutely non-negotiable.】

【It wasn’t about saving face for him; Li Ruowang genuinely liked Ye Yu.】

【The fifty-year timeframe was also genuine.】

【She said she wanted to let him have fun to the fullest extent.】

【Li Ruowang made only one request: Not to inform him about her becoming the emperor.】

【And within fifty years, he was not allowed to return.】

【After fifty years, he should remember to return and marry her.】
