Fantasy: Giving birth but not raising? Why are you crying when I become the Immortal Emperor?

Chapter 46: Chu Xi's embrace, the empress is moving! Ye Lingyun takes action!

Chu Xi's cold voice echoed faintly in the hall, and the court suddenly fell into silence.

The court officials looked at each other, and each of them had an expression of surprise on their face.

After a while, the sound of murmurings began to spread.

"I heard that Li Yang from the Demon God Palace is a rare genius of the Tianlong clan. He ranked among the Nine Provinces' Prodigies at the age of thirty. The man your majesty mentioned was able to defeat him. His strength is indeed impressive."

"Hey, that's not all. Didn't you hear His Majesty just say that Ye Lingyun is only twenty years old now. To be honest, his talent is far higher than that of Li Yang."

"Yes, such a genius with unlimited potential, it would be great if he could become your Majesty's husband..."

"..."

Because of the presence of King Wuyou Zhao Tianming, many of the court officials did not say things directly, but the meaning was already very clear.

At this moment, hearing the discussions around him, Zhao Tianming's expression gradually turned gloomy and he remained silent.

But Murong Qing couldn't hold back any longer.

Empress Chu Xi is now the woman he has set his eyes on, so how can he tolerate others snatching her away?

Murong Qing took a step forward, staring at Chu Xi with burning eyes, and spoke in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty, I think that we cannot just believe one side of the story when it comes to talent."

"I am willing to compete with that person to test the truth and prevent someone from deliberately deceiving Your Majesty."

Zhao Tianming also echoed,
"Yes, Master Murong is right. Your Majesty's choice of a son-in-law affects the future prosperity of the Chu State. You must not be so hasty."

On the throne, seeing the two of them singing the same tune and several ministers joining in the booing, Chu Xi frowned, and a hint of coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes as deep as autumn water.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, a maid suddenly rushed into the palace, came to the emperor, and respectfully reported,

"Your Majesty, I just received news that Master Ye and his party have returned from Shushan and are on their way back. They will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xi was immediately delighted, her brows relaxed, and the slight haze lingering in her heart was instantly swept away.

"Okay, today's court meeting ends here. We can discuss everything another day. Let's adjourn."

She hurriedly stood up, waved casually to the ministers, gave a faint order, and without waiting for any response, she walked out happily under the surprised gazes of the crowd below.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianming's eyes narrowed and he began to murmur in his heart.

Is this another excuse?

No, we have finally invited Murong Qing here, and we have to settle this matter today no matter what.

Thinking of this, he glanced sideways at Murong Qing beside him, gave the latter a look, and then nodded slowly.

……

On the other side, Chu Xi was standing in front of the palace gate, looking eagerly, gazing towards the horizon with a cold gaze, her beautiful face filled with an expression of overwhelmed joy.

Over the years, she has long been accustomed to falling asleep with Ye Lingyun in her arms. The latter's absence in the past few days made this beauty feel empty in her heart, and her mood has become a little gloomy in recent days.

Fortunately, these hard days are finally over.

Finally, after a while, a few streaks of light flashed in the sky and appeared in her sight from afar.

Ye Lingyun and his group were moving very fast. In just a few breaths, they had flown over the palace and landed from the air.

Chu Xi smiled brightly on her pretty face, and she walked forward with lotus steps. She walked slowly in front of Ye Lingyun. Perhaps because of the unhappiness in the court, the usually free-spirited empress's eyes were slightly red at this moment, and she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

An alluring fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Seeing Chu Xi in such a posture, Ye Lingyun's expression did not change, but there was a slight ripple in his eyes.

He reached out and gently patted the beauty's back to comfort her.

After a while, Chu Xi calmed down and broke free from his embrace. There was a touching blush on her pretty face. She smiled and stretched out her hand to rub the former's hair, and asked softly,

"Little guy, how was your trip to Shushan? Was everything going well?"

Ye Lingyun raised a bright smile and nodded slightly.

"Fortunately, there were no setbacks. By the way, I also defeated a master from the Jiuzhou Tianjiao Ranking."

Although he had received this news a long time ago, Chu Xi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he heard it from Ye Lingyun himself.
"Really? That's amazing."

Then, she smiled slyly, moved closer to Ye Lingyun, stared straight into his eyes, and asked softly,
"Tell me the truth, have you missed me these days?"

There was a smile on her beautiful face that was as refreshing as the spring breeze, and her eyes were bright and clear, revealing a hint of anticipation. The stunning beauty revealed by this stunning beauty at this moment was so stunning that no man could resist it, and Ye Lingyun seemed to be no exception.

But just as he nodded and his mind was working rapidly, considering what to say, several noisy footsteps suddenly sounded, which ruined the mood.

Ye Lingyun glanced at the palace gate behind Chu Xi, and his brows frowned slightly.

At the palace gate, a group of court officials were surrounding Prince Wuyou Zhao Tianming and rushing towards them.

Next to Zhao Tianming, there was a handsome young man in a blue shirt who looked at him with a gloomy expression and the hostility in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Who is this person?

Ye Lingyun narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think deeply.

Chu Xi naturally noticed the movement behind him at this moment. He turned around with his phoenix robe fluttering. He glanced at the ministers with a cold gaze and spoke in a cold voice,
"Hasn't the order been given to adjourn the court? What else is there?"

Zhao Tianming bowed to her and replied,

"Your Majesty, since this guy is back, it's a good opportunity to let Master Murong compete with him, and let us see whether the news is true or not."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ye Lingyun, a smile that was clearly malicious appeared on his face, and he said,

"Ye Lingyun, it is said that you defeated a genius on the Kyushu Tianjiao Ranking in Shushan?"

"Haha, it's not that I don't believe it, I just want to broaden my horizons."

"This young master Murong is ranked ninth on the Nine Provinces Prodigy Rankings. He is the candidate for your majesty's future husband that I carefully selected. How about you two compete with each other today?"

Even, as if afraid that Ye Lingyun would refuse, Zhao Tianming smiled coldly and deliberately provoked him,

"Boy, you want to be the husband of the Queen of Great Chu, but it's not that easy. If you are afraid to avoid the battle today, you will lose face for His Majesty."

Unexpectedly, even after he said this, Ye Lingyun's expression remained unchanged. He just glanced at him coldly, with no expression of sadness or joy on his handsome face, and it was impossible to tell any emotional change.

Of course, in reality, Ye Lingyun really didn’t have much interest in this.

Ranked ninth on the Kyushu Prodigy List, is that very strong?
However, he didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.
