The baby-making system is unreliable

"..." Wu Zhesi secretly shook his head, thinking that this chess piece was ultimately useless. He didn't expect that the empress was not dead! ?

Mo Liu's kung fu was considered very good. He clearly said that he had killed the empress, so he took this step. Unexpectedly, he has become useless now.

Mo Liu's face was twisted like a devil, his complexion was ashen, his eyes were wide open, veins bulged on his forehead. It was obvious that he was furious and could no longer find any words to defend himself.

She made up her mind and threw all her worries out of her mind, since she was going to die anyway.

It happened in a flash. She suddenly stretched out her hand, pulled off the delicate hairpin on her head, and stabbed towards Yun Xirou without hesitation!

The hairpin flashed with cold light, as if carrying endless murderous intent and resentment, and rushed straight towards Yun Xirou's heart, as fast as lightning across the night sky.

When the people around saw this scene, they couldn't help but gasp. No one had expected Mo Liu to be so crazy and do such an extremely dangerous thing.

Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They stared with wide eyes and looked shocked. Who could have expected that Mo Liu, who seemed gentle and dignified, would become so crazy.

"..." Yun Xirou frowned. There were enough people around, and she couldn't come over immediately.

Not far from her side, Wen Shengxian, with his keen perception, seemed to sense a faint murderous aura quietly spreading.

He stretched out his hand without hesitation and pulled Yun Xirou to his side. Yun Xirou's reaction was also very fast. She tightly grasped the hand that Wen Shengxian stretched out, and with the help of this force, she dodged to the side and cleverly avoided Mo Liu's fierce attack.

Then, she turned around and kicked Mo Liu with great precision. This kick was powerful and as swift as a storm.

There was only a dull thud, and Mo Liu had no time to dodge. He was kicked away in an instant and fell heavily to the ground.

She was in a disheveled state, with her limbs stretched out in a disorganized, unsightly posture.

Seeing this, the ministers who were originally watching the excitement around retreated in panic, fearing that they would be affected.

At the same time, several well-trained servants quickly rushed forward and subdued Mo Liu with all their might, making him unable to move at all.

"Do you really think my martial arts skills are in vain? Take her away and wait for your punishment." Yun Xirou didn't even look at her, but patted Wen Shengxian's hand lightly, signaling him to be at ease.

Amid everyone's surprised expressions, Yun Xirou pulled him step by step towards the throne, flicked her sleeves and sat down condescendingly, asking Wen Shengxian to stand by her side.

Wen Shengxian wanted to refuse, but he felt it was inappropriate. However, she used a lot of strength in her hands, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Uncle, do you have anything to explain?! If you explain it now, I will still listen to it. If you don't say it, I won't be in the mood to do it!" Yun Xirou glanced at the fake empress dowager with disdain, and after scanning around, her eyes finally fell on him.

"This is just my fault...it has nothing to do with the younger generation in my family. I hope Your Majesty will be lenient with me!" Wu Zhesi took all the blame on himself. He knelt on the ground for only a moment and seemed to have lost all his energy.

"Father!?" Wu Siyan also realized the problem at this moment, and subconsciously murmured: "What are you going to do?!"

"Shut up and kneel down!" Wu Zhesi directly scolded his son. He was a smart man and knew that the empress had discovered everything. If he told the truth, there was a chance to preserve his bloodline.

"My son has behaved badly, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Seeing Yun Xirou turning the ring on her hand patiently, Wu Zhesi continued to explain in an earnest manner.

"I admit my mistakes. I privately trained people who are similar to you, Your Highnesses, but I did not do it for selfish reasons, and I do not regret it. I did it for the sake of Yongchang. Everything I heard was for the sake of Yongchang to avoid any mistakes!!"

He said it as if he had no selfish motives. Since he had arranged a substitute for each royal family member, why didn't he use them earlier? Is the reason really what he said?

Wu Zhesi always finds good excuses for himself. Isn't the perfect excuse Emperor Wen? His debauchery and immorality seem to prove that what he did was "somewhat" useful.

"When Emperor Chanwen was in power, I wanted to do this. He suddenly changed his temperament and the people suffered terribly. This shows that my preparations were right!! But I am not sure. If a substitute appears, what will Emperor Chanwen do?!"

According to him, in order to prevent the stand-in from being exposed, he had to observe him first. Originally, the stand-in's temperament was based on his previous self, and if his temperament changed, it would be difficult to predict.

Who knows if Yun Shangyi, who likes men, will...will he directly attack the substitute? !

Besides, the fact that it has never appeared means that he doesn't have the strong desire to replace it.

Wu Zhesi knelt on the ground and explained. The meaning was obvious. He did not do it before because he did not dare to act rashly. Because he was not sure of killing with one blow, he would just take his nine clans to die.

With a bang, Yun Yurou casually threw an object down, her cold eyes filled with hostility as she angrily said, "So what uncle means is that I am no longer capable of this responsibility!? Has it reached the point where you can no longer stand it!?"

In fact, Yun Xirou knew the real reason. It was just that his brother's substitute had contracted tuberculosis and died.

But Wu Zhesi would never say that. Even if he had to take on everything, he would definitely find ways to "beautify" his behavior.

"I was confused for a moment and was frightened by Emperor Chanwen, so I had evil thoughts!!" Wu Zhesi said this without blushing or beating his heart. He was frightened? ! Who would believe it? !

This is a statement full of mistakes and omissions. It is just an attempt to mitigate the guilt and... to buy time and take a gamble! !

"Then I have to thank you!? I can't live without your substitute!?" Yun Xirou opened her mouth coldly, tapped the seat with her fingers, and crossed her legs domineeringly.

"But your good son is still outside mobilizing troops!? Why are you waiting?!" Wen Shengxian stood beside her. He couldn't see clearly in front of him, but he could see the situation outside clearly.

"No need to wait, it's too late, the leader has been captured. Wu Siyan, that man is your cousin, right? You brought troops into the palace without permission. Why didn't you tell the court officials about such a big thing? "

Is it true as Wen Shengxian said, that the Li siblings captured 3,000 soldiers alive not far away, and the leader was none other than the Wu family! ?

"I am guilty! I hope Your Majesty will spare your two brothers' lives for all the years I have devoted to the court and for the sake of our blood relationship!!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhesi already knew that the arrangements outside were no longer useful, so he had no choice but to give it a try. Seeing that he actually kowtowed directly, he swore to the death that the empress would leave a way out for her son and nephew.

Regardless of his years of hard work, look at this family that is connected by blood! ?

"Huh?! You want me to let them go?! Why didn't you do that before?! I want to let them go, but the country is of utmost importance and must not be lost!!"

Yun Yurou showed no mercy at all. We must not tolerate softness in this matter, otherwise, wouldn't everyone follow suit! ? Then wouldn't the safety of the royal family be even more insecure! ?

"Wu... Second Aunt, what do you think? Impersonating the royal family, disrupting the government, and assassinating me, this is such a big mistake?! Doesn't it deserve death?!"

When the Wu family's 'Second Miss' heard this, her fear completely took over. From the moment her father knelt down just now, she knew that her family was probably finished! !

Her legs began to tremble constantly, and became so weak that she almost lost the strength to support her body. She staggered and almost collapsed to the ground.

"..." She had been silent the entire time, just standing there quietly, like a lifeless sculpture.

Crystal clear tears, like a flood bursting through a dam, flowed continuously from her swollen eye sockets and slowly flowed down her paper-pale cheeks.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she let out a low and suppressed sob. She was afraid that she would have no chance of survival if she dared to pretend to be a royal family. She had also reached the end of her life.

"Issue an order. From now on, all the property of the Wu family will be confiscated, and three of the Wu family members will be executed as a punishment. The rest of the branch will be exiled to Shaobei and are not allowed to enter the capital without a summons!!"

Yun Xirou didn't want to hear them make any more excuses. After all, they had to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, especially since this time it was the Empress Dowager's mother's family. If the Empress could do it, others would be even more afraid.

"As for the impostor... drag him away, execute him immediately, cut off his head and hang it on the sail of an official ship outside the capital. Everyone should take this as a warning!!"

Someone is so bold as to pretend to be the monarch. If this precedent is not severely punished, won't everyone follow suit? !

The empress was furious and, regardless of the personal feelings of the empress dowager's mother's family, she ordered the father and son of the Wu family to be dragged into the Dali Temple and ordered them to be executed.

When this matter was announced to the world, everyone was shocked. The Wu family was finished, but His Majesty was really a ruthless person, and he directly killed all three members of the Wu family.

This has never happened before, not to mention that it is the Queen Mother's mother's family. It sounds like the three clans are not that many, but those direct descendants of the Wu family are afraid that they will not be able to escape death! !

Seven days later, the empress ordered a grand funeral for the empress dowager and buried her together with the late emperor. The people walked for dozens of miles to see her off. For a moment, the people mourned together. White silk was hung across the river and white paper money fluttered in the air.

The fishermen on the river bank made way and looked at the grand funeral procession, discussing these things.

Several small boats came together. The fisherwomen were fishing in their nets, looking at the people on the river and talking to each other in low voices.

A sturdy young man in his twenties with muscular abdominal muscles and tanned skin was shirtless at the end of spring. His hands were constantly moving and his mouth was not idle either: "Have you heard?! The three clans of the Wu family were executed immediately. That's the Empress Dowager's mother's family. Our empress is really a decisive killer!!"

An old man in his fifties was standing next to them. He was so old that he couldn't help but feel sad. He even said a few words: "Isn't it? How can he do this? The Queen Mother's body is still warm?! After all, he is from the mother's family. How can he be so cruel?!"

The young man didn't care. He just thought that the Wu family was too greedy. He subconsciously said, "So what?! The Wu family has already stood so high, and they are still trying to dream of higher ground. How can the empress tolerate them?!"

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old younger brother seemed to agree with his elder brother. After reading a few books, he actually thought about the court. He frowned and said, "That's right. I think this empress is not someone who is easy to talk to. I'm afraid the other officials in the court will not dare to have any improper thoughts easily."

"I don't understand these, but if my man was in the government, I would be so scared that I couldn't sleep at night?!"

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman also interrupted, and couldn't stop imagining in her heart. She even thought of the imperial tutor who returned to the capital with her: "Otherwise, how could they become a noble family!? Oh!? By the way, I heard that the imperial tutor also returned to the capital that day. Come to think of it, he was a handsome man!!"

The thirty-something fisherwoman at the side looked at her 'love-sick' expression and said jokingly, "Huh?! How did you know that? The Imperial Master is a handsome man?! Don't let your imagination run wild when you can't see him?!"

The young woman was half ashamed and half angry. She silently said, "Of course I heard about it, but I think everyone has praised it before, so it can't be too ugly! Don't tell my husband this, it will just cause misunderstandings!!"

These words, word for word, all entered the ears of the group of people behind the fisherman's cabin. Hiss! ? Why do these people look so familiar? !

The others talked for a long time, but they just listened without saying a word. The fish man was a little curious and patted his head to think about it.

Now I remember, aren't these the same people who were on General Li's boat when he returned to Beijing last time? !

The fishmonger didn't say anything the whole time. He just carried the passengers. He remembered that this group of people seemed to be quite wealthy and were very generous with their money.

"Brother, we have been in Yongchang Capital for so long, isn't it time to go meet the Empress?"

The little girl spoke Yongchang dialect not fluently. Their Nanyue was close to Yizhou, and their accent was more like that of Yizhou. People there all spoke with an accent.

Fortunately, although they spoke with an accent, they were not immediately suspected of being outsiders. They have been playing in this capital for nearly a month.

"What?! Have you had enough fun, little sister?" The man beside him was still looking at the wanton boy, his two fangs still looking sharp: "If you have had enough fun, then let's go into the Yongchang Palace!"

"Eh?! Are we really regretting not going when the 'fake' empress was injured?! Regret not being able to spread the reputation of South Vietnam while the empress was away!"

The little girl is young, but she has a big tone. It's no wonder that she has a bad attitude. After all, it has always been Yongchang that took the initiative to send troops.

In the previous three years, there was considerable friction between the two countries on the border. As a little princess of South Vietnam, she was influenced by the King of South Vietnam and naturally would not have a good impression of him.

"I think you regret not being able to cause some trouble and take the opportunity to humiliate Empress Yongchang?!" The young man understood his sister, but he would not forget the task assigned by his father.
