The baby-making system is unreliable

The Zhenqian Rebellion occurred when the country was founded. After the death of the founding emperor Yongchang, his sister ascended the throne, killed his brother and nephew, married the emperor and passed the throne to his son. Later generations called her the Pingwu Empress.

More importantly, this female emperor Pingwu was extremely talented. She single-handedly created the first prosperous era of Yongchang, which surprised and impressed people in later generations. This is why it is said that men and women had relatively equal rights in Yongchang.

Wen Shengxian put down the cup in his hand with a sneer, thinking that he was really meddling in other people's business: "The royal family of Nanyue doesn't need to worry about this. Your Highness Yan Arsen has his own urgent needs, and he still has time to worry about Yongchang. He is really careless."

Would a Nanyue royal family that grew up in strife be a good person? Don't be ridiculous. I'm afraid they are just trying to use them to secure the throne and then turn the tables on Yongchang.

How can there be a permanent ally?! It is impossible that if he becomes powerful in the future, it would be strange if he does not extend his weapon to Yongchang.

"Imperial Master, are you unwilling to help?! For me to hold on to that position, is it possible that the benefits given to you by your empress are not comparable?!" Zhu Weiyan narrowed his eyes, his face darkened visibly, a dangerous aura was revealed on his face, and he seemed to be a bit angry.

"..." Isn't this nonsense?! Our prince wants to be the 'husband' of our empress, isn't that better than being a minister of Nanyue! ?

Han Yi was hiding not far away, looking at the Prince of Nanyue with eyes that were not friendly at all, and even contained a hint of disdain.

"You want me to be your subject? Sorry, I don't have that intention." Wen Shengxian's eyes were cold, and he refused without hesitation, "To me, the so-called authority is nothing but a passing cloud. What you are pursuing so hard is not what I value or care about at all."

Just when Zhu Wei and Yan Arsen were about to be enraged, Wen Shengxian suddenly changed the subject and said slowly, "Don't be anxious, Your Highness Yan Arsen. I heard that you invited my good friend to have tea and discuss Taoism together a few days ago. This is a very elegant thing."

"However, everything has to be done in moderation. If people drink too much tea, they may get bored. So, I hope Your Highness can show mercy and let him go home as soon as possible."

As he said this, Wen Shengxian always had a faint smile on his face, but behind that smile there seemed to be an unquestionable firmness.

"You want to get something for nothing? You are such a good talker, you want me to let him go with just a few words?" Zhu Weiyan thought he had never seen such a shameless person. He curled his fingers and clenched the cup tightly, seeming to be a little dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, weren't you the one who got something for nothing?! To be honest, we have a woman in power in Yongchang now, so we can rest and recuperate without any trouble. If we want more time to rest, wouldn't it be more beneficial to disrupt South Vietnam's internal affairs?!"

Wen Shengxian said this very calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, but he also knew clearly that Zhu Weiyan's move might have an element of gambling.

"But we didn't do that, so Your Highness Yan Arsen should be grateful. We will not help your enemies, or become your enemies. Even if we can't become allies, it's better than having one more enemy. Your Highness should think this through."

He was just betting on Yongchang's attitude. Maybe that was the purpose of his coming. He wanted to see if he could get some help. Even if he couldn't, he didn't want to become enemies. To put it bluntly, even if he couldn't help him succeed, he couldn't stand in his way.

Wen Shengxian refused without hesitation and saw through his thoughts, causing his face to instantly show a murderous look: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you!?"

"Of course I am afraid! How can I not be afraid?! If my eyes were not injured before, I would believe that I could fight with Your Highness. But now I am not in this 'state of mind'." Although he said this, his tone seemed to be teasing.

Wen Shengxian was not in the mood to do so, but it was not because he was afraid of him or because he could not beat him, he just did not want to do it.

Seeing that he remained silent, Wen Shengxian's words became more threatening. They were not afraid of him, a visiting prince. After all, they, the brother and sister, had not appeared in the palace until now.

"This is our territory. If anything happens to you, we have to find a way to cover it up. Your Highness, do you think your father will turn against us in Yongchang just for you? Your Highness, you can only plan for yourself, but you are not the only prince in Nanyue."

The death of a prince in public would naturally be investigated, but who could prove that the death of a prince in secret was related to the Yongchang royal family? Especially under the premise that he did not reveal his identity as a prince, if something happened, his father and the emperor had so many children that they might not be investigated.

“Hahaha…” Zhu Weiyan laughed, softened his tone, and said with a helpless expression: “It’s not that I don’t want to let him go, but Mr. Liang is not in my hands at the moment. It’s my little sister Yan Li who wants to invite Mr. Liang to be my guest.”

"..." Wen Shengxian was stunned when he heard this and immediately frowned. No wonder he had this expression. It was also a disguised way of telling him that there were more than one people coming.

They could kill a prince who was not very favored, but they could not kill a favored princess at the same time, especially the youngest daughter of the King of Nanyue, who had been the center of attention since childhood.

"In that case, why don't you two princes come to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty? This way, your safety can be guaranteed."

Wen Shengxian said this very seriously and with a rather tough attitude, as if he was unwilling to let them run rampant in Yongchang anymore.

These two princes have probably been here for quite some time, and we cannot allow them to continue to act recklessly. It is better to receive such "distinguished" guests as soon as possible and send them away as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble.

"I don't mind. I'm just afraid that my little sister won't agree." Zhu Weiyan smiled jokingly and stretched out the ending tone, as if to add a bit of temptation.

Wen Shengxian smiled lightly and said calmly: "Doesn't this depend on His Royal Highness Yan Arsen?! Will Her Royal Highness the Princess listen to you?!"

What a joke, no matter how unpopular he is, since he can be a messenger, he naturally has a say. Others may not have the final say, but he can still control it.

Zhu Weiyan seemed a little unwilling, raised his eyebrows subconsciously to test, and asked again: "What about our cooperation!?"

"Of course it depends on the Empress's opinion, but I can still say a few words. It depends on what you do, Your Highness."

Wen Shengxian's goal was to "rescue" Liang Kongming, but he didn't know what the little princess was up to. But it would be great if Zhu Weiyan was willing to help.

……

Outside the capital of Yong'an, not far away, in the post station, a group of passers-by were gathered in groups of three or five. They saw that the person in charge was a girl, with a gauze hat covering her face, and there were many servants, both men and women, around her.

In this kind of weather, few people go out, and the equipment this group of people brought with them showed that they were either rich or noble. The person in charge of the post station did not dare to ask too many questions, as if he had left the entire post station to them.

"Mr. Liang, you saved my life. I want to repay you. How about I repay you with my own body?"

The man wearing the hat was Zhu Weiyanli. Seeing that there was no one around, he took off the hat.

In just a moment, she revealed the face of a young girl. The girl was not very old, and was dressed in brocade and jade robes, like a beautiful girl from a small family. She looked pretty and lovely, with fair skin and the appearance of a noble lady. The accessories she wore were not extravagant.

The look in the little girl's eyes when she looked at Liang Kongming was like the rippling water, with ripples and sparkles, as if she saw the most beautiful person in the world.

"..." Liang Kongming's hands and feet were tied, sitting opposite her. He could never have imagined that the little girl he saved was actually the Princess of South Vietnam? !

The little girl covered her face at the time, so he couldn't see her face clearly. And since they had only met once, he couldn't figure out who she was no matter how hard he tried?! If he had known it was her, he would never have dared to do that! ?

"I said, saving you...saving Your Highness' life was just a coincidence, I don't need to pledge my life to you!!" Liang Kongming'e was sweating profusely, he never expected that his momentary kindness would cause such a disaster.

How could it be so difficult for him to travel all his life with caution? If this matter were brought to the attention of the empress, he might become a tool for the marriage between the two countries.

"Do you really not remember anything?!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Weiyanli's eyes suddenly lost their stars, and a heart-breaking feeling of loss surged out. He lowered his dazed eyes and pondered secretly.

"What do you remember?! Didn't I just save you once at Zuichun Tower a few days ago? What else could it be?!" Liang Kongming looked helpless and puzzled at the little girl. This person repaid kindness with enmity and tied him up directly.

With such behavior, how can he survive in the capital in the future?! Ahem... No, is it reasonable for a princess of Tang Tang to do such a thing of forcibly robbing a man from the people?!

After a moment, Zhu Weiyanli seemed to have convinced herself and adjusted her mentality. She greeted him with a smile and said, "This princess knows that you have always been thinking about the girl from the Wen family, but you still have no results. Why can't you like this princess instead!?"

Liang Kongming's face changed when he heard this. He gritted his teeth in anger and spoke slowly, word by word: "The princess knows so much!? I know you hold the power and you can have whatever you want. Don't even think about hurting her!!"

Even if she was a princess of a country, there was absolutely no reason for her to do anything wrong and hurt a woman who was already married and had children!!

Was it because of her that he didn't even want to call her Your Highness? ! Zhu Weiyan was stunned, and actually envied the girl a little.

"Hurt her?! Hehe... there's no need for that. But, she's just a dead person, how could this princess bother with her!?"

Zhu Weiyan raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking directly at Liang Kongming who was kept in the dark, and spoke calmly, as if he was talking about the most ordinary thing.

“…” What?! A dead person?! Just one dead person?! Who died?! Who is she talking about?!

Liang Kongming seemed to lose the ability to think for a moment. His eyes widened and turned red. His heart seemed to have fallen into a cold lake. He felt a sense of loss, as if he had lost the most important thing.

"Who's dead, you say?!" Liang Kongming looked at her with stubborn eyes, full of disbelief. He struggled to stand up in panic. While struggling, he forgot about the hemp rope on his hand. His wrist was rubbing red, but he seemed not to notice it and stared at her straightly.

"Who are you who's dead? Tell me!?" Liang Kongming wanted to explode as if he was controlling a beast, roaring without caring about the difference in status at all. At this moment, there was an empty ringing in his ears, and he seemed to be unable to feel the servants who were holding him down by his side.

"Of course it's Wen Shuya, who else could it be?!" Zhu Weiyanli didn't mind telling him this. Instead, he had an excited look of 'gloating' on his face. After he finished speaking, he seemed to be unable to bear to see him being kept in the dark and knowing nothing.

She chose to tell Liang Kongming without hesitation, telling him the truth that he had no idea about: "You think so, isn't she married?! Isn't she a mother, giving birth to a child, happy and contented, a beautiful lady with no worries about food and clothing!?"

Liang Kongming raised his eyes and looked at her. He opened his mouth but found that he could not utter a word. His lips were trembling and turned pale and weak.

"Seeing that you have been kept in the dark so pitifully, this princess will not mind your rudeness and will mercifully tell you the truth." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhu Weiyan's eyes moved, as if she couldn't bear to see him so disappointed, but since she had said this, she definitely wouldn't say half the truth.

Liang Kongming shouted at her angrily, regardless of his words. He lost control of himself and his voice became hoarse. He almost lost his voice: "You are lying. How could you possibly know?! This is just a lie you want to force me to agree to. You are lying to me."

"She died on the day she got married. There was no elixir that could cure her, nor was there any rich businessman. These were all lies. You are the only one who doesn't know." Zhu Weiyanli was obviously not scared by him. After a pause, he was still determined to tell him, and said it calmly.

Liang Kongming's tears instantly fell from his eyes. He shouted angrily and raised a bitter smile, "The rich businessman is fake!? The medicine is also fake?! They are all fake?! You know... you all know!! Am I the only one who doesn't know!?"

Doubt, anger, confusion, and helplessness all mixed together and flooded his mind in an instant, making him unable to tell where he was for a moment.

"If you don't believe it, why don't you ask your good friend, the Imperial Master who knows everything?! He won't have the heart to hide it from you, isn't he the softest-hearted one?!"

Zhu Weiyan stretched out her hand nonchalantly and made a casual gesture. She had come to invite him to be her guest, but she had tied him up for several days and he still refused to pay attention to her.

No matter how good her temper was, she would not keep anyone here any longer. She still had to maintain her dignity as a princess, so naturally she wanted to let him go.

Liang Kongming fell down on his seat, muttering to himself heartbrokenly: "Am I the only one who doesn't know?!"

Those memories that had long been hidden deep in his heart rushed out like a flood, making his thoughts even more confused.
