Villain, be good! I'm here to give birth to a baby [Quick Wear]

Chapter 95: The Heartless and Childless Emperor 49

Outside the hunting ground.

"General, do you still want to eat these sour apricots? I'll get you some more."

"No, this is enough for me."

Luqi originally wanted to take plums, but she happened to see some sour apricots in the imperial kitchen, so she took them as well. The general likes sour food these days, so he would probably eat them.

Sure enough, the general ate a lot of it after he got it.

Lin Yan is currently eating a sour apricot in her hand. It tastes sour and is appetizing without making her feel nauseous.

As for Luqi, it is not tasteable at all. It is so sour that it makes your teeth fall out and makes people feel physically uncomfortable. It is not something that a normal person can eat.

Lin Yan finished the meal in just a few bites and felt much better in her stomach.

As time passed, she felt a little sleepy.

After a yawn, the people below were still quite energetic, all staring at the hunting ground, wanting to know who would come out with the beads.

It was pitch black over there and I couldn't see anything.

Hunting at night is not easy.

Hunt slowly...

Lin Yan placed her hands on her abdomen and half-closed her eyes, wanting to take a nap.

The people below became restless at this time, with more and more voices of discussion, and noises from not far away also reached their ears.

Found it so quickly?

Lin Yan opened her eyelids, half-supported herself and sat there, looking into the distance. Indeed, there was a group of people coming out with torches.

However, the leader was a plain-looking woman, and behind her was a group of men with bruised noses and swollen eyes. The scene was very strange.

"Why is it a woman? Could the bead in her hand be the one the general mentioned? If so... wouldn't it mean that a woman is going to sit on the throne? It's absolutely ridiculous!"

"She wants to be the empress too? Even the general doesn't sit on that throne, how can she be qualified? What a joke, she must have picked up the pearls while those people were fighting!"

"Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a woman to become emperor. Even if there really is a precedent, it should be set by the general. How can we give it to a woman like this?"

Everyone was dissatisfied, no one agreed.

And among the names written on paper by the ministers before the competition, not a single one contained the name of this ordinary woman.

In Lang Country, the idea that men are superior to women is still prevalent, with Lin Yan being the only exception.

Because Lin Yan is a god, gender has nothing to do with it.

Apart from her, other women are still women, looked down upon and inferior to men.

This is a concept that has been deeply rooted in people's minds for thousands of years and cannot be eradicated overnight.

Ignoring what those people said, Luqi walked over, greeted the incoming woman, and took the blood-stained bead from her hand.

A palace maid at the side held a basin of water. She put the beads in it to wash them clean, then wiped them with a handkerchief. After making sure there was no blood on them, she took the beads and walked towards Lin Yan who was sitting on the high seat.

Bend down and present the beads.

Lin Yan could still smell the blood on it. She clenched her fist and pressed it to her lips to suppress the urge to vomit.

She waved her hand lightly, motioning Luqi to take it away.

Then she opened her red lips and said, "Yes, it is this bead."

It was light, with no ups and downs in the tone.

Now, everyone's attention was focused on the ordinary woman riding on the horse. She got off the horse and saluted Lin Yan.

Everyone was nervous. They could not accept that the throne was allowed to be sat by such a woman, and in this way.

Then someone could not help but stand up and said, "General, if you want to give the throne to this person..."

He didn't know how to address the woman, so he could only point at her before continuing, "Then I think it would be better for the general to establish himself as king."

With a thud, the man fell to his knees.

"I wish to honor the general as the emperor, and I will never change my mind until my death!"

With someone taking the lead, it is easier for those behind to step up.

In less than half an incense stick of time, almost everyone in the audience knelt down and asked Lin Yan to become emperor.

Rather than letting a strange woman of unknown origin sit on that throne, it would be better to let Lin Yan, who already had real power, become the emperor directly. Anyway, they treat Lin Yan as the emperor now. Except for the title of "general", she is no different from the emperor.

But now they are completely unable to accept such an outcome, even if this commoner woman will only be a puppet. Apart from Lin Yan, how can other women become emperor?

There was not a single person present who did not kneel, all of them begging the person sitting on the high seat to become emperor.

Lin Yan looked at the ministers kneeling below, still without much reaction, with an indifferent expression.

She ignored these people and asked the ordinary woman below: "What's your name?"

"I am a commoner girl named Tian Xiaohua. I have no father or mother. I grew up eating at many people's homes. I have never been to school. I was lucky enough to get a spot on the hunting trip. I got the bead by shooting an eagle circling in the sky."

Tian Xiaohua explained everything at once so that Lin Yan wouldn't have to ask her questions one by one.

He is a smart man.

Know the hidden meaning behind this sentence.

Lin Yan really didn't like to ask so many questions. If she was smart, she would have understood that she should explain her origins clearly after hearing this sentence, instead of simply answering with a name.

She nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Then do you want to sit on this throne?"

The people kneeling on the ground pricked up their ears.

This question is critical.

If I say yes, it's obvious that a group of people won't agree and will definitely make a big fuss.

If you don't want to, the opportunity you finally get will be wasted.

The best answer is to kneel on the ground like those people, and ask Lin Yan to ascend the throne to show loyalty. Who knows, you may be able to please the other party and get some wealth from her.

You have to know that Lin Yan is the one who controls the lifeline of Lang State. Any little power that slips through her fingers is enough to cause a group of people to rush to fight for it.

So what would this person say?

The whole audience held their breath, waiting for her answer.

"I am willing to follow the general's orders."

She handed the choice back to Lin Yan.

This is undoubtedly a wise answer.

Lin Yan's eyes were dark and her thin lips were slightly curled.

She stood up and threw the bell in her hand up again, up and down, neither fast nor slow.

Just as she walked towards Tian Xiaohua at this moment, her shadow gradually covered Tian Xiaohua under the flickering candlelight.

"listen to me?"

He chuckled a little.

She lifted the man's chin with her hand and gently stroked it, saying, "Then you are really obedient."

"I just like obedient people."

He withdrew his hand and rubbed his index finger and thumb gently a few times.

Lin Yan was still throwing the bell with her other hand, but her speed gradually slowed down, and the slight smile in her eyes disappeared.

"If you are so obedient then ..."

She suddenly said, "Luqi."

Luqi was puzzled, but still replied, "Yes."

"Take her back to Yan Palace."

"Yes."

Then Tian Xiaohua was taken away.

This result was something no one expected. He was just taken away like that? What about the throne? Would it still be passed down?

"As for the throne..."

Lin Yan spoke very slowly, like the bell in her hand, which she tossed up with every word.

Everyone's heart rose and fell with the ringing of the bell, listening quietly to her final decision.

The bell was tossed four times.

"talk about it later."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, but at the same time they were worried.

Could it be that he is considering whether or not to give the throne to that commoner woman?

At this time, a voice sounded.

"General, I demand that that woman be executed!"

Everyone looked over and saw that it was the eighth prince of Lang State, Sili Ji. He was given the title of King Anle when the previous emperor was alive, and he was also the last prince to be given the title of king before the previous emperor passed away.
