Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Mrs. Li was worried about Wei Bingyan's safety, so she showed up at the Li family and waited for her impatiently.

Seeing that Wei Bingyan was safe and sound, Mrs. Li was relieved.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to Li's house together.

"Old Master Wei is, as expected, very majestic." After hearing Wei Bingyan talk about the whole experience in Ganlu Palace, he couldn't help but raise his thumb straight up, expressing his immense respect for the entire Old Master Wei.

Wei Bingyan sighed, she didn't feel happy, because Old Master Wei had officially turned against His Majesty today for her. Even if His Majesty didn't have the courage to deal with the Wei family openly before, now that the Old Master had clearly expressed his attitude in such a domineering manner, how could the emperor be relaxed about the Wei family.

However, she didn't need to tell Mrs. Li about her worry, as it would only make her worry more.

"In that case, the emperor won't want to deal with you anymore, right?" asked Mrs. Li.

Wei Bingyan gave a bitter smile, "I don't know."

"Don't think too much. Yuyan will be back the next day. Then..." Mrs. Li smiled, "He will hold up the sky even if it collapses."

"That's right." Wei Bingyan nodded with a smile.

Li Yuyan rushed into the city early the next morning. Due to official business, he could not return home to reunite with his wife and daughter right away, so he went to the palace to report.

The Sixth Prince came out to greet him personally, but when he saw that Gulit had lost his tongue and couldn't speak, he looked at Li Yuyan in surprise. This...

"You talk too much." Li Yuyan said softly.

"Indeed." The Sixth Prince smiled faintly. He had already guessed why Gulit had no tongue coating. He thought it was related to Wei Bingyan.

When he saw the Sixth Prince, Gulit started to babble and pointed at Li Yuyan angrily, saying something to the Sixth Prince, while pointing at his own mouth.

The Sixth Prince looked at him and issued an order, "Take Prince Gulit away."

Gullit shouted even more angrily.

Li Yuyan and the Sixth Prince entered the palace together to pay homage to the Emperor.

Going to meet a man who wanted to assassinate his wife, Li Yuyan needed great patience to stop himself from showing his raging anger. He calmly bowed and paid homage to the emperor in the solemn main hall, listening to the emperor praising him for his meritorious service in leading the army to fight off the Rongdi people this time, and offering to promote him and make him rich.

Li Yuyan knelt on one knee and respectfully presented his tiger talisman, which represented the symbol of power. "I just want to live the life of an ordinary civilian. As for the enviable official title... I have no ability and I don't have the courage to claim to be a great meritorious official."

The ministers in the solemn main hall were originally envious and jealous of him, thinking that Li Yuyan would definitely become the number one in the court this time. Unexpectedly, before His Majesty had even given any reward, Li Yuyan had already politely declined His Majesty's kindness.

Everyone looked at him in surprise. The solemn main hall was silent, so quiet that one could hear the sound of a pin drop.

The emperor's face turned pale and blue. Over the years, no minister had dared to refuse his reward face to face in the hall. This really showed that he was not taken seriously.

"Li Yuyan, do you want to give up your official position and social status and retire?" The emperor's voice was very soft, but it was loud enough to reach everyone's ears.

"Yes!" Li Yuyan answered decisively. He was not attached to the high power. He didn't care whether he was an official in the court or how high his official position was.

The emperor was furious, "Li Yuyan!"

"Your Majesty, please grant my blessing!" Li Yuyan said with concentration.

"I won't allow it!" The emperor shouted back, "Get out of the way!"

Li Yuyan remained motionless, "Your Majesty, I have had this intention for a long time. Now that the Rongdi people have retreated, I will retreat bravely..."

"Shut up!" His Majesty said angrily, "Get out of here."

"Please help me, Your Majesty." Li Yuyan bowed his head.

The Sixth Prince was getting impatient watching from the side, and couldn't help but persuade him earnestly, "Li Yuyan, if you have anything to say, talk to me later."

The emperor looked at Li Yuyan coldly, he didn't expect Li Yuyan would make such a request. Needless to say, Li Yuyan already knew what he had done. Could it be that Wei Bingyan was so important that he didn't even want to give up his future just to avoid losing her?

Li Yuyan seemed to have no ears to hear the suggestions of others nearby, and only wanted to wait for the emperor's answer.

"Everyone, step aside. Li Yuyan, come with me to the study." The emperor was unwilling to abandon such a minister, so he had to step back first.

All the ministers retreated with confusion in their hearts. They did not understand why Li Yuyan would refuse the reward from His Majesty. This was something that many people wanted but could not get. Could there be some hidden story behind this?

Li Yuyan followed the emperor silently to Ganlu Palace. He was still holding the tiger talisman, which represented the symbol of power, and His Majesty had not taken it back yet.

"Give me a reason." The emperor entered the Ganlu Palace and immediately asked Li Yuyan in a furious tone, scaring the little palace maid behind him so much that she hurriedly and anxiously retreated.

"Your Majesty, I just feel that I am suited to the free and unfettered life in the martial arts world." Li Yuyan replied.

Even without saying anything, everyone knows what some things are. Li Yuyan believes that the emperor knows very well why he made such a decision.

"Is it worth it for a woman who has lost her virginity?" The emperor looked at him and asked coldly, enunciating each word.

Li Yuyan raised his neck and looked at the emperor calmly, "Your Majesty, my wife has never lost her chastity, but no matter what happens to her, she is still my wife."

The emperor was so angry that his abdomen was heaving. Just as he was about to open his mouth to curse Li Yuyan, he started coughing violently.

Puff! The emperor coughed violently, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing the emperor vomiting blood and falling to the ground, Li Yuyan wanted to walk up and give him a strong slap to kill him directly, but he failed.

He had just returned to the capital, and had not yet arranged any safe retreat route. If he killed such an emperor now, the Li and Wei families would certainly not be able to escape, and more people would be dragged into the dead.

Li Yuyan suppressed the anger in his heart, opened the door to the Ganlu Palace, and asked the palace maid outside to quickly call the imperial physician.

The Sixth Prince, who had been waiting outside the study, heard others say that the emperor had fainted, and rushed in immediately. Together with the little palace maid, he helped the emperor directly to the bed, and turned to ask Li Yuyan, "What's going on? Why did His Majesty faint?"

Li Yuyan just stood aside and watched without saying anything.

The imperial physician arrived very quickly and treated the emperor with acupuncture and fumigation medicine. The emperor finally woke up leisurely, but his condition was very bad. He opened his eyes slightly to look at Li Yuyan, then immediately closed them again.
