What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 51

Upon hearing Qingzhu’s incomplete statement, Li Ruowang didn’t get angry.

Instead, she continued to transmit her thoughts, “Does Ye Nian consider him as her father?”

Qingzhu was greatly shocked and immediately knelt down.

How could the Empress know about this matter?

Yesterday, when she returned to the palace with Ye Nian, she intended to report what happened at Haolin Villa to Li Ruowang.

However, Li Ruowang had already retired by then, so Qingzhu didn’t get the chance to report it.

But now, Li Ruowang knew about it.

Did she figure it out on her own? Or was there someone else besides her protecting Princess Ye Nian in the shadows?

If it was the latter, then Qingzhu alone not keeping a close watch on Ye Nian and letting her run amok would be a capital offense.

Thinking of this, Qingzhu quickly said, “I deserve death.”

Li Ruowang paid no attention to her trembling and instead took Ye Nian’s small hand, softly asking, “Nian’er, do you think that masked man looks like your father?”

Ye Nian turned her head towards where Ye Yu was and whispered immediately, “Mother, I heard him speak yesterday. The first sentence sounded like daddy, but the rest didn’t. I don’t know what’s going on.”

A perfect curve formed at the corner of Li Ruowang’s mouth. “Ye Yu, it seems I’ve found you.”

On the other side, Ye Liangyan of the Great Qian Dynasty had already begun to step forward and announce the great achievements of Li Ruowang’s reign.

Following tradition, after the praise was completed, it would be time for representatives from various sects to present birthday gifts.

Li Ruowang accepted them gladly and reciprocated with gifts from the Great Qian Dynasty.

As the banquet was about to conclude, what surprised everyone was that just as Ye Liangyan had begun reading halfway through, sounds of conflict suddenly erupted outside the Ascension Platform.

This left everyone puzzled.

The next moment, the massive gates of the platform were instantly broken open, and a middle-aged man riding a tall horse slowly approached.

Behind him followed four giants standing ten meters tall, their fierce appearance emitting a foul aura that was extremely repulsive.

Saintess Yun Roumu’s expression became extremely serious. She murmured, “The Southern Four Evils? Why did they come to this place?”

Hearing this, Ye Yu curiously asked, “Senior Sister, what are the Southern Four Evils?”

“It is said that these four giants come from the Southern Barbarian Continent.”

“Offending a sect master, they traveled far to the Central Continent. They are tall in stature, fond of cannibalism, and act strangely, earning them the title of the Southern Four Evils.”

“It is said that when these four are together, they can unleash power comparable to that of a late-stage Integration Realm cultivator.”

After hearing Yun Roumu’s explanation, Ye Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Were these four grotesque giants really that strong? He had originally thought they were just all show, but evidently they possessed genuine power.

However, Ye Yu’s attention ultimately focused on the middle-aged man ahead.

During his dream, he had once shared a meal with this man.

This individual was none other than Li Guanglu, the Prince of Zhen Nan of the Great Qian Dynasty, a legitimate member of the imperial family and the younger brother of the previous emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

He was also Li Ruowang’s paternal uncle.

Ye Yu couldn’t understand it. In the dream, Li Guanglu had shown great respect towards Li Ruowang.

So why was he now making such a grand entrance?

Standing in front, Ye Liangyan spoke in a deep voice, “Prince Zhen Nan, what brings you here? Don’t you know that without imperial decree, princes cannot return to the capital without permission?”

“Imperial decree? After my brother’s death, who’s left to be the emperor? Are you suggesting it’s her?” Li Guanglu pointed towards Li Ruowang on the throne.

Sneering, he continued, “A woman who killed her father and brother, defying all moral principles! Since assuming power, she has made life miserable for the people. As a member of the imperial family, I cannot stand idly by. That’s why I have come today, to uphold justice and overthrow the tyrant.”
