After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 512 His Power Was Undermined
Qi Yunran was busy until very late before going to sleep, just as Pei Yuanjun also had things to deal with.

Upon seeing Qi Yunran enter, supporting her back, he immediately put down his work.

He strode over to Qi Yunran and said, "Wife, are you tired? Come here and let me massage your back."

Qi Yunran did as she was told and went over: "You're not asleep yet?"

Pei Yuanjun looked at her with gentle concern: "Bandits have appeared fifty miles outside the capital for some reason. The envoys from the four countries are about to arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow, so I have to deal with them as soon as possible."

Qi Yunran's expression turned serious: "These 'bandits' are probably just a cover!"

Pei Yuanjun had Qi Yunran lie down and began to massage her waist with his fingers, neither too lightly nor too heavily.

"It's alright. No matter who they are, we'll just deal with whatever comes our way. The Emperor won't be able to trouble me for long. The aftereffects of his practice of the Soul-Locking Curse have already begun to manifest."

"For mortals to seek immortality is almost against the laws of nature! Even an emperor cannot escape his fate. Now that he wants to forcibly change his destiny, it will probably flare up even more. I wonder how many days he can hold out? However, you gave him this soul-locking curse. Aren't you afraid that if it flares up, he'll capture you and kill you to vent his anger?"

Pei Yuanjun gave a sarcastic smile: "When I 'found' this, I only showed him the book, which said that this Soul-Locking Curse was a heaven-defying thing, and that if you felt your whole body being torn apart while cultivating it, that was a normal phenomenon. Once you opened up the spiritual meridians in your body, the pain would stop."

He deeply agreed, and now his temper was becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable, all signs of him going mad from practicing the Soul-Locking Curse.

After all, he made me practice first to see if there were any problems before he started practicing himself!

Qi Yunran was somewhat surprised: "So he lost the pain because he went into a state of demonic possession. He looks energetic on the surface, but inside he's been suffering from serious injuries and festering wounds for a long time! How long ago did you start planning all this?"

Pei Yuanjun held Qi Yunran in his arms, adjusting her position so she could rest her head on his lap. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, a reminder of his past life as a puppet controlled by others. Naturally, he didn't want his wife to know these things: "It was when he learned he wanted to kill Xiao Jingxuan. He wanted to choose a child from the royal family to adopt. After all, although the Crown Prince is far from us, the Emperor has never trusted him. Bringing him back would be to prove his fertility. In the end, considering that Jingxuan isn't very close to them, but is close to us, the Emperor naturally didn't want such a thing to happen!"

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. He had no intention of leaving Xiao Jingxuan a way out, so how could he let him succeed?
Crown Prince Jingxuan is someone my wife is protecting with all her heart; she will absolutely not allow him to make the slightest mistake.

If it were inevitable that one of the Crown Prince and the Emperor would die, he would of course choose the Emperor!
Qi Yunran gradually fell asleep, her head resting on Pei Yuanjun's pillow. She had been listening with great interest just moments before, but the next moment she was fast asleep.

Pei Yuanjun's starry eyes shone brightly like the Milky Way. He looked lovingly at the woman in his arms.

He felt incredibly satisfied. Once this matter was over, they would go to the Arab world to herd sheep. His wife loved farming, and he had already bought all the land in the village next to Aunt Sun's.

The people of the Arab world are generous and simple, making it an ideal place for a free-spirited woman to live.

As dawn broke, Pei Yuanjun got up.

Because of these days, the Emperor entrusted him with the security of the envoys from the four countries, and even exempted him from the morning court for a month.

As the name suggests, he wanted him to focus on dealing with security issues. Naturally, Pei Yuanjun smiled but remained silent about Lou Chen's behavior of praising him in a veiled way.

He didn't take this matter to heart at all, and had no objection whatsoever to Lou Chen's attempt to strip him of his power in a month or two!
