Chapter 998: Chapter 1000: Driving Away the Worthless Relatives (3)

Nangong Yi said, "What’s the difficulty in this? I never intended to remarry anyway. ’One pair for a lifetime,’ and all children from the same mother would prevent fratricide and backstabbing. Wouldn’t such days be better?"

Emperor Jin Ming said solemnly, "Yi’er, years are too long, a lifetime is too vast, and no one can foresee what their life will bring. Aren’t you being too rash in deciding the matters of the next several decades now?"

Nangong Yi replied, "From childhood, I have always known what I wanted, and I have never misjudged. This time, I am certain, I will not err, and even if I do err, I will accept it. I only ask for Imperial Father’s blessing!"

Having said this, he knelt down again and kowtowed!

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Emperor Jin Ming could only sigh and say, "I have said all I can. If you insist on marrying her, then go marry her. I already have one unfilial son, I do not wish for a daughter to turn my good son against me as well!"

Nangong Yi hastily said, "Imperial Father speaks too harshly, your son dares not!"

The Emperor gave a faint smile, "Hehe, I know you are a good child, just joking with you. You may leave now; I am tired and would like to rest for a while..."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and tiredly closed his eyes. After speaking for so long, he no longer had the strength to continue.

Seeing his father looking utterly exhausted, Nangong Yi rose and quietly withdrew. Just as he reached the entrance, he encountered Master Li Guo coming in, holding a tray on which lay a brocade box containing an Elixir he had recently concocted.

As they brushed past King Qin, they inadvertently exchanged glances and then walked away from each other.

Master Li Guo walked up to before the couch and, after observing for a moment, carefully said, "Your Majesty, why do you look so unwell today? This is a Qi Supplementing Pill that I’ve concocted these past days; it’s perfect for restoring your energy!"

Emperor Jin Ming slightly opened his eyes and said with a light smile, "National Teacher, you’ve arrived just in time; I am not feeling well..."

Master Li Guo carefully helped Emperor Jin Ming to sit up and retrieved the medicine, placing it near Emperor Jin Ming’s mouth.

Without a glance, Emperor Jin Ming opened his mouth and took it with Master Li Guo’s hand. Ever since the Prince poisoned him in the north, the figures Emperor Jin Ming trusted most were Master Li Guo and the Chief Steward Zhu Zhong, willing to consult with them on any matter.

After taking the medicine, Emperor Jin Ming indeed felt much stronger and opened his eyes, saying, "Third Brother just visited; he wants to marry Mu Caiwei. It is said she is a loose woman. The other night the Empress came crying to my place, insisting that I annul Third Brother’s marriage with the Mu Family Miss. Ah, but the Third Brother is stubborn, and if I forcibly separate them, he will surely bear a grudge against me. I do not wish to make myself the villain, yet if I let him marry that girl, the Empress would not comply. Ah, both sides pose difficulties, truly troubling me..."

Master Li Guo chuckled and said, "It’s strange indeed, His Highness King Qin has always set his standards high. How could he fall for a loose woman?"

Emperor Jin Ming pondered then said thoughtfully, "Indeed, Yi’er has always maintained his integrity and would not fancy an impure woman. Surely, the Empress disdains her poor background and is causing trouble again. It is truly annoying. Had she not instigated the last time, I would not have betrothed Mu Caiwei to Saknu, which later spawned so much trouble!"

Master Li Guo said, "Fortunately, Miss Mu is both lucky and strong, having narrowly escaped death, preventing any rift between father and son. Otherwise, this poisoning by the Prince was indeed unpredictable. Speaking of which, that Miss Mu is truly fated. She was even carried off by a tiger and yet returned unharmed. If it were anyone else, even if the tiger did not eat her, she would have died of fright. Hehe, such courage is rare in our Great Jin Dynasty!"
