Favoring a Hidden Mistress? Engagement Broken-Chapter 112 - 95:

He propped himself up on his arm, his gaze falling on Mingjian, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Mingjian hesitated for a few moments and replied, "Three days and nights."

Three days and nights...

Three days and nights have passed since she got married...

Lu Ziyuan felt a metallic taste in his throat, his complexion changing dramatically, and finally, amidst the screams of several Lu Family madams, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Emperor was also startled and called for the Imperial Physician to take his pulse.

"There’s no need," Lu Ziyuan lowered his eyes, ignoring the surrounding Lu family madams, and calmly ordered, "All of you leave; I have matters to discuss with His Majesty."

Although he had a cold and proud demeanor, he had always been patient with family members. This was the first time he had worried his grandmother and mother for so long without immediately comforting them upon waking.

It was very unusual.

Madam Lu, receiving a cold face from her son for the first time, had a slight change in expression.

And Old Madam Lu, having experienced the pain of losing both her husband and son, valued her sole grandson more than her own life and wouldn’t bear to blame him.

The madams sighed lightly and were about to walk outside. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lu Xiyao, who was helping her grandmother, instead strode forward and urgently said, "Brother, what’s wrong with you? Is a fickle woman really worth your despair?"

"Xiyao!" Madam Lu rebuked harshly.

"If you all don’t dare say it, then let me say it!"

Ignoring everyone, Lu Xiyao rushed to the bedside, "Xie Wanqing played you, you should rise and make her regret abandoning you, not sulk and chill the hearts of grandmother and mother; you... uh..."

Halfway through her words, Lu Ziyuan grabbed her neck tightly and pinned her down against the bed edge, choking off her remaining words.

"Stop it!" Madam Lu rushed up, "Yan’er! She’s your sister, do you want to kill her?"

Lu Ziyuan’s eyes were deep and emotionless; even though his palm tightened for a moment, he suddenly released her.

Lu Xiyao was thrown to the ground, gasping and clutching her neck, scrambling backward on all fours without daring to say another word.

She clearly sensed that her brother, who had always been affectionate, truly had murderous intent for a moment.

He wanted to kill her!

In that instant, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Lu Ziyuan leaned against the bed edge, turning to look at these ’family members’ who felt either reproachful or heartbroken towards him, his eyes cold and indifferent.

After a long pause, he said lightly, "Everyone, leave."

This time, no one dared to object, and they quickly retreated outside.

Now only the Emperor and Lu Ziyuan remained, along with the Chief Eunuch Yuan Shu.

The Emperor, who had been silently observing, appeared complicated, not expecting that losing just one woman would cause such a change in someone he valued so much.

"There are no outsiders here; whatever you wish to say, speak freely," the Emperor said.

Lu Ziyuan remained silent for a moment before slowly raising his head to look at him, "Is it possible to grant them a divorce?"

"Ridiculous!" The Emperor burst out in anger, but facing his gaze, the words of admonishment were held back.

"...What have you discovered?"

Lu Ziyuan ignored his question and repeated, "Is it possible to grant them a divorce?"

"...The word of the Emperor is final; this marriage was granted by me," the Emperor composed himself and said solemnly, "Do not trouble me."

The word of the Emperor is final.

Lu Ziyuan curled his lips into a cold smile.

"Xie Wanqing is my sole tie in this life; as long as I live, I cannot accept her marrying another man."

"Whoever dares to touch her touches my life,"

His voice was calm, devoid of killing intent, yet it sent chills down one’s spine.

The Emperor’s expression subtly changed, "Don’t act recklessly; Changqing holds the Qingtian Guard and manages all crucial matters of the Great Khan. Without his clandestine arrangements, the Great Khan might have long been plagued by bandits and divided interests."

Even the highest combat power must know whom to fight.

Distinguishing between loyalty and betrayal requires knowing more confidential information.

The spies of the Qingtian Guard are active across various states and counties of the Empire; should those officials harbor disloyalty, His Majesty the Emperor would be the first to know.

Crises would be extinguished in their cradle.

And before Pei Changqing took over, the Qingtian Guard did not possess such capabilities—it was he who revived it step by step.

His extraordinary ability means the Emperor currently finds no one to replace him.

"There are countless beauties in the world; if you wish, I can let you be spoiled for choice," the Emperor said earnestly, "Miss Xie is now someone else’s wife; let it go."

Someone else’s wife!

"She is my wife," Lu Ziyuan let out a mournful sound from his throat, his teeth emitting traces of blood, his tone merciless, "If Pei Yuqing won’t return her to me, I’ll take her back."
