A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 587: Parental Love IX

Dugu Ruyuan originally thought that he and her had no relationship as husband and wife, but she was obviously of Lu Shu blood and was unwilling to let another man have a child.

Even when Yuwen Luo gave birth to Gun and Yu, the eldest son of the emperor, she insisted that he was a bastard and even drove him out of the harem, not hesitating to offend the powerful Yuwen Tai.

It was Gao Che who was responsible for Yuwen Luosheng's bastard pregnancy. That night, Tianmu Khan of Western Wei, who was drinking to drown his sorrows, broke into Dugu Ruyuan's residence again and asked him drunkenly if he was willing to give birth to a daughter for Ruyi. A daughter who would inherit the throne, the only legitimate daughter of the original wife.

That year, Dugu Ruyuan was already in his forties, and was about to know his destiny. He had rekindled his old love with her many times over the years. He didn't know whether it was because the abortion drug he took back then had damaged Lu Shu's bloodline, but he never got pregnant again over the years. Instead, he had several children with his current wife, Guo.

Looking at his beloved original wife who had sworn to be with him forever, Dugu Ruyuan subconsciously agreed, but he did not believe that he could still give birth, and even less did he believe that he could have a daughter in one go.

Yuan Mingjing wanted to leave a successor because of Yuwen Luosheng's betrayal. She suddenly realized that she had been fighting for power with a group of men for decades, expanding territory and intimidating foreign countries. Although she was superior to these ambitious men in terms of both military and literary skills and iron-blooded tactics, they were now all seeking official positions and benefits for their children. When she looked back, she found that she had no one behind her.

Yuan Mingjing is a descendant of the Lushu bloodline of Huaxu and Nuwa. She can make men pregnant, so she will not suffer the pain of childbirth. Over the years, she has been wary of the family power of male favorites, and she can't bear to let any man in the harem suffer.

So after many twists and turns, she still thought of her first wife who had been divorced for decades. So, Dugu Ruyuan, who had been separated from his second wife Guo for many years, was diagnosed with pregnancy after a New Year's Day in his 50s.

Needless to say, the child was naturally the empress's. He calculated the time and found that she was conceived when she entered the palace during the early years of the Chinese New Year.

As soon as the child was conceived, the queen of the time announced it to the world and protected him in her mansion with many layers of protection. During the first few months of her pregnancy, she even brought him to the palace, wishing to guard him all the time, as if she wanted to make up for the love that had been missed in the past twenty years.

Dugu Ruyuan thought he was pregnant with her only blood, but it was not until her brother-in-law, Duke Tang, gave birth to a baby boy prematurely that he realized he was not her only candidate for "inheritance". He felt a little sad, but when he gave birth to a baby girl, he felt that everything was worth it.

After all, she liked girls, and as long as she liked them, he felt that no matter how painful it was, it was worth it. The name had been chosen long ago, the mother would come up with the full name, and he would come up with the nickname and courtesy name.

The female khan of the Western Wei Dynasty placed her high hopes for the crown prince in the two words "Ji Xiao", full of expectations for her daughter to become a phoenix. However, Dugu Ruyuan's thoughts were very vulgar and simple. He only hoped that his daughter would be worry-free and that he would be a kind father, so his nickname was "Wuyou". The daughter naturally took her mother's surname, and Yuan Wuyou meant "Wan Wuyou". If she was healthy, Dugu Ruyuan even wanted to see his daughter have her own children, to witness his daughter inherit her mother's business and be worry-free every year.

After giving birth, Dugu Rugu happily stayed in the palace for two months to recuperate. Not only was she taken care of by the female Khan of the dynasty, but even the Duke of Tang Li Yanhui, who had just finished his confinement, came to act as a wet dad with his son who was two months older than the princess.

It was at this time that he discovered that his daughter's name was "Jixiao" and the son that Li Yanhui gave birth to Yuan Mingjing was named "Mingjian", which came from an ancient Chinese poem "In the darkness, only the dawn can be seen."

After learning about this, Dugu Ruyuan did not feel like it was a bolt from the blue. After all, this female emperor who supported the Han Dynasty would not belong to just anyone. He had realized the disparity when she was not yet his ex-wife.

In order to please Li Yanhui, the Duke of Tang who had given birth to his first child, Dugu Ruyuan even lent him his Moye sword when he was on a diplomatic mission to southern Xinjiang, to show that he and the empress were of the same mind. Unfortunately, Duke Tang died in southern Xinjiang before he could accomplish his mission, and no one in his homeland dared to mention his title anymore, not even the Li family of Longxi dared to mention it.

As his daughter grew up, the world vaguely remembered that he, Dugu Ruyuan, was the original wife of Yuan Mingjing, the Khan of Tianmu in the Western Wei Dynasty. He seemed to be the romantic young man in the north of the Great Wall on the Wuchuan grassland, the Dugu Ruyuan who was kind to women in the arena but lost his heart after the goddess saved his family's lives.

After wasting most of his life, Dugu finally lived a life as he wished. He was arrogant and unrestrained, and the person he loved was the most noble and powerful woman in the world. Everything he had and experienced was unique.

Until the empress lost power in her later years, she was put aside after giving up power, and the power was divided among the princes inside and outside the court, and the Western Wei Dynasty was in danger. The aging Dugu Ruyuan saw the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty in a trance, but this time the one who was attacked was his lover sitting on the dragon throne. Just like when she rebelled against the Northern Wei Dynasty and saved the collapsing building. But she was the one who chiseled the wall to steal the light, and finally became the darkness shrouding people's heads.

Dugu Ruyuan was tired of fighting. He had been unwilling to play tricks with these people and fight for power since he was a teenager, but he had never stopped fighting since the moment he decided to fight for her.

Time flies, and people grow old suddenly.

Dugu Ruyuan has managed to hold on until today thanks to his obsession with his young lover, and has endured countless years of dreamlike life.

The final opportunity was his daughter.

Ever since Tianmu Khan brought her only daughter into the palace and intended to make her the Crown Princess, no one in the court or outside the court dared to disobey the empress. They criticized him for being a wife and father but being undisciplined and tarnishing the princess's origin.

As Dugu wished, she became a stain on the princess, and the court officials believed that in order to establish a crown prince, the princess had to sever her relationship with Dugu Taiwei. But the empress refused and insisted on keeping her daughter as the concubine's original wife.

The only daughter of the crown prince had been poisoned in her food within a few days of entering the palace. Upon investigation, it was found that the poison was sent by Dugu Mansion, which naturally caused the ministers to attack her. In addition, the Southern Liang Dynasty was provocative at this time, repeatedly invading the border, and facing internal and external troubles. Dugu Rugu realized that the emperor's preference for him would also be cut off.

As a result, this time the empress did not fight anymore, but abdicated and handed over power to Suxing Mansion to "Yuan Baoyue", and handed over the country to Yuan Baoju's son. From then on, the emperor of the Yuan family and his personal guards Suxing Mansion were completely integrated.

She wanted to resolve the issue peacefully and put an end to the tragedy of the Northern Dynasty and the suffering of all human beings in her hands.

Whether it was to appease Dugu Ruyuan or a belated compensation, Yuan Mingjing wanted to reunite with him and promised to take him to Huaxu and return to Gaxian Cave to worship their ancestors. It seemed that her retreat this time had led to a return to the countryside.

Dugu Ruyuan planned to "elope" with her with great anticipation, waiting to see when the empress emeritus would be able to escape unscathed.
