After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"master……"

The gentle and affectionate "master", coupled with Li Yue'er's tearful expression, made the Nine Gates Admiral Tong Guoan's mind run away.

Reaching out his hand and tightly grasping the soft hand of his beloved woman, Tong Guoan gently patted Li Yue'er with his other hand and said with great emotion: "Yue'er, I have seen your efforts over the years.

Don't worry, I, Tong Guoan, am not an irresponsible person. Yue'er, I will never let you down in this life. We will sleep in the same bed and die in the same grave.

You are the only woman I have ever chosen in my life..."

In full view of the public, Tong Guoan, whose hair had turned half white, was so disregarding propriety and morality that he expressed his deep love to his concubine.

After taking a look at the indescribable expressions on everyone's faces, Li Shiliu felt like her teeth were aching from the sourness.

"Master, it's getting late, the bride is still waiting for tea..."

Holding the tea tray in his hands and half-bending over, Butler Tong secretly glanced at the emperor's wet nurse who was standing not far away with her hands clasped quietly. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his head. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and interrupt the affectionate gaze between his master Tong Guoan and his concubine Li Yue'er.

Tong Guoan suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help blushing. He let go of Li Yue'er's hand and stared at Li Shiliu, who was standing in front of him with an expressionless face, with a frown on his face.

“Since Du Sanniang is bedridden, I will make the decision today. Princess Sheng’an should also offer Yue’er a cup of tea.

Let’s not talk about the past, we are all one family from now on.”

For fear that something unexpected might happen, the Emperor Jiade's wet nurse was specially left behind to help with the wedding. She would wait until after the tea ceremony today before entering the palace with Tong Wenjie and Li Shiliu to report to the Emperor.

To have a princess of the royal family offer tea to a concubine was truly an eye-opener for the wet nurse.

I didn't expect that the Nine Gates Admiral would be such a confused person.

Even the Emperor's wet nurse, who had first-rate self-control and composure, couldn't help but twitch her lips. She had no choice but to cough softly to remind Lord Tong, the Nine Gates Governor, who was not very clear-headed.

What neither the emperor nor the wet nurse had expected was that Tong Guoan seemed to be deaf. He ignored everyone else and just stared straight at Li Shiliu in front of him.

Tong Guoan knew very well that the old rascal Li Lianggong was a rough and tumble person. The fact that his daughter Li Shiliu was named Princess Sheng'an by the emperor and was also recorded under the name of the Grand Princess was clearly to elevate the status of Li Shiliu who married into the Duke of Yue's mansion.

Why did he give Li Shiliu a status that even he, the great governor of the Nine Gates, could not touch? It was probably because the last time he used Du Sanniang's dowry to pay off the debt owed to the national treasury, the emperor was very dissatisfied with himself and Li Yue'er.

After all, he is the emperor's uncle, and he is also the Nine-Gate Commander in charge of the garrison of Yuanjing City. Moreover, these are private affairs of the harem. At most, he will be scolded and punished by the emperor. As long as he remains loyal to the emperor, it is no big deal.

However, Yue'er was born in a humble family and had to rely on himself to protect her for so many years. The emperor might not necessarily blame himself, the governor of the Nine Gates, but the same could not be said for Yue'er.

Moreover, the emperor gave an oral order yesterday to let Tong Guoan set out to suppress the bandits today. I am afraid that this is just a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Yue'er, a concubine, fell into the hands of Li Shiliu. Even if she doesn't die, she will be skinned alive.

Tong Guoan thought very clearly. He wanted to use this opportunity of serving tea to let Li Shiliu recognize Yue'er's elder status, so that Li Yue'er could have a glimmer of hope.
