Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

The rumors about Wei Bingyan that were spreading throughout the capital naturally reached the ears of the emperor.

Due to the death of Eunuch Lei, the emperor had been restless for a long time and had no intention of caring about the rumors outside. It was not until today when the Sixth Prince made such a fuss that he began to pay attention to Wei Bingyan's news again.

Therefore, when the emperor heard such a slander from others, his mood immediately improved a lot. No man would be happy to hear that his wife was cheating on him. Li Yuyan would definitely divorce her.

In this way, even if Wei Bingyan is dead or alive, Li Yuyan won’t care too much.

He immediately issued an edict, ordering Wei Bingyan to come to the palace to pay homage.

The Sixth Prince had always paid little attention to rumors outside. He had not noticed the slander against Wei Bingyan that had been circulating in the capital for a whole day, until he heard the little palace maids whispering in the palace, and then he realized what had happened.

It was unclear what Wei Bingyan's mood was at this moment, whether she was still feeling panic and helpless. He wanted to go to Li's house, but suddenly he thought of Wei Bingyan's ruthless expression that day, and he could only sigh long and gloomy.

Your Majesty's actions have chilled the hearts of many people. Even if there is no obvious evidence to prove that he was the one who poisoned Bingyan with tea, the death of Eunuch Lei has helped him bear a lot of responsibility, but it does not mean that others cannot figure it out.

He was very worried about what Li Yuyan would do when he came back.

Wei Bingyan looked at Su Yanluan, who was gloating over other people's misfortunes, with a calm expression. When such a woman appeared outside, she knew that she was up to no good and would not come, but she did not expect that she would bring such news.

She appeared calm on the outside, but in fact she was raging with rage deep down inside and had no idea what to do.

Mrs. Li appeared and rescued her with all her strength.

Su Yanluan was asked to leave by Mrs. Li in an overly polite manner. Ye Ruzi felt very regretful. If it weren't for her, Wei Bingyan would not have to face Su Yanluan's ridicule and mockery. She knew that if she stayed, it would only make Wei Bingyan feel more embarrassed, so not long after Su Yanluan left, she also left.

Wei Bingyan's face turned a little pale. Now that there were no outsiders in the room, she didn't need to pretend to be calm and firm, "Mom..."

The voice sounded extremely desperate, as if he was about to cry.

Mrs. Li hugged her and said, "Don't be afraid, the master is here."

"I didn't!" Wei Bingyan said in a hoarse voice. She didn't make Li Yuyan lose face, nor did she lose her virginity. It was Gulit who was talking nonsense. He hated Li Yuyan, so he said so deliberately.

"I know that others can say whatever they want. The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid." Mrs. Li patted her back gently and spoke softly.

Wei Bingyan burst into tears. She felt very wronged and even more angry. She wanted to kill Gulit.

Mrs. Li kept comforting her with gentle words.

Bai Binghui felt bad for Wei Bingyan and her eyes were swollen from crying.

"Madam, Madam, the imperial edict has come from the palace." Just at this moment, the director came hurriedly to report.

It was His Majesty's order to warmly receive Wei Bingyan.

It must not be a good thing for His Majesty to meet Wei Bingyan at this time. Mrs. Li looked unhappy, "Could it be that the bastard wants to turn against us?"

Mrs. Li had no idea what politeness was and started cursing. The person she cursed was naturally this noble in the palace. Wei Bingyan was so scared that her heart started pounding. Although the emperor's behavior was chilling and bizarre, she couldn't just call him a bastard. He had to be exterminated along with his entire clan.

But the emperor is indeed a bastard.

In the past, when he dispatched people to take action against Wei Bingyan, it was at least done in secret and not on stage. Now that he met with Wei Bingyan, Mrs. Li would not be able to think that he was completely shameless and was ready to execute the relatives of the founding hero.

"You can't go." Mrs. Li said.

If she didn't go, she would be violating the imperial order and would still die. Wei Bingyan gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, I'm going to the palace."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

Mrs. Li had no way to stop Wei Bingyan. When Wei Bingyan followed the little palace maid into the palace, she immediately asked Bai Binghui to go to the Wei family to inform Old Master Wei.

After hearing what Bai Binghui said, Old Master Wei did not hesitate and asked Uncle Hai to accompany him to the palace.

……

The emperor formally met Wei Bingyan in Ganlu Palace.

He had just taken the medicine, and the Ganlu Palace was still filled with a faint and strong smell of medicine.

"I am here to pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty." Wei Bingyan entered the palace in formal attire, dignified and elegant. She allowed the little palace maids to whisper to her without being arrogant or humble, as if the people they were chatting about had nothing to do with her.

The emperor looked at her. As his health deteriorated, his face became very thin, his complexion turned yellow, and there were wrinkles all around his eyes. He looked extremely old. He was no longer the emperor who looked so majestic and awe-inspiring.

Wei Bingyan met his eyes without fear.

"Stand up," the emperor said, admiring Wei Bingyan's calmness. Compared with the second young lady of the Xin family, Wei Bingyan was actually worthy of being honored. What a pity...

Wei Bingyan stood there with her nose in her eyes, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Mrs. Li, I am very happy that you can return safely." said the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Wei Bingyan replied softly.

The emperor looked at her, trying to read something from her face. "I heard from others that you were captured by Rongdi Prince Gulit?"

"Yes." Wei Bingyan said.

"Why didn't he kill you?" asked the emperor.

Yes, Gulit hated Li Yuyan so much, why didn't he kill his relatives, and let Wei Bingyan be rescued from prison without any harm? No one would believe it. Wei Bingyan must have played some tricks? Did she seduce Gulit and become Gulit's woman, so that she could come back safely?

No one would not think so, especially after such slanderous words were spread.

Without waiting for Wei Bingyan's reply, the emperor asked again, "I heard from others that Gulit is very lustful and cruel. Madam Li, what kind of injustice did you suffer during the time you were arrested?"

Every sentence was a reminder to Wei Bingyan that she would come back safely and that she must have lost her virginity.

"I have been pretending to be a face-changing woman. Gulit saw me and realized I was just an ugly woman. He captured me and locked me up in a place. I rarely see him." Wei Bingyan said calmly, not paying attention to his majesty's implicit hint.

The emperor said, "It's all a hot topic now. I wonder if Mrs. Li has heard anyone talking about it?"

"Why the commotion?" Wei Bingyan feigned ignorance and pretended to be completely unaware.

The emperor said coldly, "Li Yuyan has made a great contribution this time. I will evaluate his merits and rewards him after he returns. If everyone knew that he had such an unchaste wife, how would they view him?"
