Chapter 420

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a long time before she recovered and asked: "Sister Changle, does your father coming here in person mean he wants to acknowledge His Majesty?" Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang felt a tightness in her chest.

In her eyes, no one could compare to Qin Mu!

As an emperor through the ages who has created such a great Great Qin Empire, in the end, he is to become Li Er's son?

Unacceptable!

Incomprehensible!

Unadmissible!

Wu Meiniang had ten thousand reasons to be unwilling!

No!

If Li Er really acknowledges His Majesty, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch His Majesty become that... what? That shitty Crown Prince of the Great Tang!

Wu Meiniang's blood surged, her breathing became rapid, and she wished she could go to the side hall immediately to stop all of this from happening.

But one sentence from Princess Changle instantly dispelled her thoughts.

"Don't worry! My father doesn't even know that brother-in-law is my own brother, and we don't intend to tell him either."

"Why is that?"

Wu Meiniang was shocked, but still felt uneasy, and continued to ask.

"Sister Meiniang, you have seen it too; brother-in-law's hatred for the Great Tang is etched in his bones, and he is sworn enemies with my father. Not only is brother-in-law unwilling to acknowledge that he is my father's eldest son, he even thinks that blood-testing for kinship is an absurd thing. Doesn't this explain everything? In his heart, nothing is more important than revenge! Letting my father know about these things at this time won't bring about the slightest change in brother-in-law, and will only make the relationship between the two worse."

Princess Changle's words made Wu Meiniang suddenly realize.

Qin Mu indeed never acknowledged being the Empress's flesh and blood.

However.

Shouldn't this be Qin Mu's character?

Shouldn't this be the appearance of the god in her own heart?

What blood-testing for kinship?

What acknowledging flesh and blood?

These things are all baseless!

In this world, no one and nothing can try to control him!

"Alright, alright, let's go quickly! If we don't hurry, there might not be any good food left." The little glutton Princess Changle couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly pulled Wu Meiniang toward the side hall.

At this moment, inside the side hall.

It was brightly lit!

A prosperous scene of singing and dancing made people linger and forget to return.

Li Er was drinking until his face was flushed red, and he was grinning while toasting Fang Xuanling.

He is always like this when he gets drunk!

Fang Xuanling next to him was miserable, looking at Li Er with extreme disdain.

It's like this every time!

You get drunk after one cup!

A woman's tolerance for alcohol is better than yours!

Looking at Li Er's appearance, Empress Zhangsun, sitting on the other side, rolled her eyes in silence.

Li Xueyan didn't feel anything, leaning against Qin Mu, carefully feeding him.

The once Jade-Faced Rakshasa has now become full of charm!

That transformation from cold and beautiful to charming was truly irresistible to look at.

Princess Changle and Wu Meiniang finally arrived.

They hurriedly found seats and sat down, not far from Qin Mu.

As a servant, Wu Meiniang had no seat of her own at such a banquet.

But Princess Changle didn't care, pulling her to sit by her side.

"You child, why did you only just arrive?"

Empress Zhangsun chided.

"Hehe, Mother, I was just talking to Sister Meiniang about something, so I was delayed."

Princess Changle smiled mischievously, sticking out her tongue in embarrassment.

Her quirky and clever appearance was truly endearing.

Seeing her like that, Qin Mu couldn't help but smile, feeling a sudden sense of emotion in his heart.

Unknowingly.

So much time has passed!

Think back to when he fought his way out of Changancheng alone, established his own Great Qin Empire in Tibet, then subdued Tuyuhun, destroyed the Turks, unified the Western Regions, reclaimed Hexi, occupied Yizhou, and achieved hegemony! Back then.

If someone had told Qin Mu he would walk such a path, perhaps even Qin Mu himself wouldn't have believed it. But who could have thought.

He still walked it!

Accompanied by so much blood and wind and groundless slander.

The titles of Tyrant Qin and King Jie/Zhou were permanently etched onto Qin Mu's head.

On the road to becoming an emperor through the ages, many things were unexpected. When these things arrived, they were accompanied by violent storms. Surviving them meant being remembered in history; failing meant leaving a bad name for ten thousand years!

Fortunately!

Qin Mu survived!

However.

This is not the time to relax.

The Great Tang has still not been recovered, and the hearts of the people have still not been won.

Other powerful empires in the surrounding areas are still restless.

Not to mention anything else.

Didn't the Turks lead an army of 500,000 to attack the Western Regions this time?

Wasn't the goal to slap Great Qin in the face?

And this is just one Turkic Empire!

Siam in the south, the Harsha Empire in the southwest, the Persian Empire further west, and the Roman Empire...

These empires are all at their peak and will also become major threats to Great Qin.

Internal worries and external enemies!

The road ahead is long and arduous.

Goguryeo and so on.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

Li Xueyan poured wine for Qin Mu, her voice gentle and delicate.

She has become more and more like a woman!

Think back to when Li Xueyan first met Qin Mu, she was sharp and exposed, like a dagger!

Keep strangers away, or die!

And now?

Li Xueyan is more like a virtuous wife and mother, making people feel envious.

Think back to the beginning.

Qin Mu and Li Xueyan first met on the Changancheng city wall, and the two fought to the death.

It was even just a hair's breadth away.

Qin Mu would have died under Li Xueyan's dagger.

At that time.

Neither Qin Mu nor Li Xueyan expected the happiness of today.
