Li Qingyan is dead again.

This is her third death since she began her mission to win over Li Yan.

Inside the system space, Li Qingyan was eating sunflower seeds while hugging a bucket taller than herself. "Flying Fork, do you think Li Yan is crazy? I'm helping him, helping him, is this guy out of his mind? He killed me three times, three times."

Li Qingyan was so angry that her head was practically steaming.

In her first life, she was a princess of an enemy country who helped Li Yan obtain intelligence. However, she was framed by Li Yan as a spy and had her head chopped off.

In her second life, she became one of Li Yan's stepmothers, praising him to the skies. But then this guy had a problem; he caused the Vermilion Bird Gate Incident, and all the concubines drank poisoned wine.

In her third life, she became his younger sister and competed with him for the throne. However, after he ascended the throne, he somehow learned that she was a spy sent by his father and was killed, this time by a thousand arrows.

Having died so many times, she was emotionally unstable and even wanted to kill Li Yan directly.

Flying Fork sighed, and a sound carrying an electric current rang out.

[Host, we have one more chance, or we'll both die.]

[Waaaaah...]

Flying Fork transformed into a little boy and clung to Li Qingyan's leg, crying. They had worked together for many years; although Flying Fork always caused trouble, but…

Oh well, it's her fault for being so soft-hearted.

"Since that's the case..." Li Qingyan's lips curled into a sinister smile, "I'll treat him like my own child."

Feicha immediately stopped crying, looking on incredulously.

[Host, you're courting death. In ancient times, if men gave birth, you would be considered a demon.]

Li Qingyan shook her finger. "You don't understand Li Yan. This is the decision."

She slammed her hand on the table. The people who understand you best in this world are often not your closest friends, but your enemies.

Five imperial physicians knelt inside the Hall of Diligent Governance, their heads bowed and faces covered in sweat, some wiping it away. Behind them stood four men in black carrying swords; these were the assassins of the new emperor, Li Yan.

Ever since Li Yan got drunk with General Yan Xu a month ago, he has been irritable. In recent days, he has been vomiting incessantly.

Some even suspect that Yan Xu poisoned Li Yan with a slow-acting poison.

Several imperial physicians took turns examining his pulse, but to no avail.

until today.

Physician Liu examined Ping An's pulse and found it to be a sign of pregnancy. He then summoned several other physicians, but the result remained the same.

The head of the Imperial Medical Academy is currently taking pulses; if it's still not the case... then all of them will likely lose their heads.

The fragrance of sandalwood rose gently, filling the room.

Li Yan held his head in his hands, his handsome face unusually gloomy, especially since he had been vomiting uncontrollably for some time, and his dark circles made him look somewhat haggard.

"explain."

A chilling voice echoed in the bedchamber, sending shivers down one's spine.

Zhao Zheng, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, hurriedly knelt down, "It's a pregnancy pulse."

Li Yan immediately opened his eyes, drew a sword from the side, and placed it against Zhao Zheng's neck. "I am a man, how could I have this pregnancy?"

Zhao Zheng had never seen anything like this before. How could a man give birth? This was against common sense, but how could he dare to say that the baby in her belly might be a demon?

The man before me had seized this position by slaughtering his brothers and forcing the retired emperor to abdicate. He could even imprison his own mother. No one's life was worth anything to him.

"Get out. All of you, get out of here!"

The eunuch Laifu quickly led the group away, but stopped the imperial physicians outside the door, saying, "His Majesty dislikes others discussing his affairs. Some things should not be said; if even half a word gets out, your families will suffer."

The imperial physicians understood perfectly what this meant, and one by one they left with pale faces.

The palace was unusually quiet. Li Yan touched his abdomen, then flinched away for a moment.

"An Yi, go buy an abortion pill."

At a single command, one person vanished from the room. No one even had a clear look at how the person left.

[Host, host, he's going to kill you.]

Now, Li Qingyan is just a small lump of flesh that can't move. She can barely communicate with Fei Cha, saying, "I took a life-saving pill."

She yawned. "He wants me dead? Dream on. Whether I want to live or not is no longer his decision."

At this point, Li Qingyan burst into laughter, feeling a sense of vengeful pleasure.

Lai Fu carried the bitter medicine to the window, where Li Yan stood for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, the medicine has arrived." Lai Fu lowered his head, somewhat reluctant to look at Li Yan's expression.

Li Yan froze, picked up the bowl, and gulped it down. The bitter medicine made him want to vomit, but he forcefully suppressed the nausea.

What absurd things haven't happened in this vast world?

In the Li family, fathers and sons kill each other, brothers harm each other, and even the mother would want to kill her own children for power.

Li Yan had seen too many things that others couldn't understand.

He stroked his flat stomach, knowing that the emperor must not allow any future troubles. Just like that inexplicable and absurd night.

The harem already has four concubines, three princes, and two princesses.

If the child is born to a woman, then keep it; which emperor hasn't done something absurd?

Unfortunately, it was born into his womb, which wouldn't work.

The medicine that An Yi bought was mild, and its effects took a little longer to take hold.

Li Yan was awakened from her sleep by the pain.

When Laifu heard the commotion and came in, he saw that Li Yan's face was pale and his nightgown was soaked with sweat. He was so frightened that he had someone carry Zhao Zheng over directly.

Zhao Zheng scrambled to the bedside and took Li Yan's pulse.

[Host, host, wake up, wake up.]

Fei Cha shouted for a long time but received no response, fearing that Li Qingyan might have died during her reincarnation.

Li Qingyan was a little confused, but she gritted her teeth and said, "When I'm born, that little brat who gets medicine, I'll kill him..."

As soon as the last word was uttered, Li Qingyan fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Zheng quickly wrote down several prescriptions and sent people to get the medicine. Bowl after bowl of medicine was brought in from outside and all of it went into Li Yan's stomach.

This ordeal lasted until late at night before Li Yan's complexion finally calmed down.

The commotion was quite loud. Consort Jing, the head of the four consorts, waited outside for a long time. Lai Fu stopped her with a smile, saying, "His Majesty simply ate something wrong and doesn't want to see anyone else right now. Your Highness, please return."

Consort Jing's father was the Minister of Revenue, and she had given birth to the eldest prince and the eldest princess, making her the most influential woman in the harem.

Everyone says that the Empress's position is rightfully Consort Jing's.

Emboldened, she retorted, "How dare you! You dare stop me? What good is your dog's head if something happens to His Majesty?"

Lai Fu has been by Li Yan's side since childhood, accompanying him from an unfavored prince to the current emperor. He even saved Li Yan's life. No one dares to disrespect Lai Fu.

"Of course I wouldn't dare, but I've only ever listened to His Majesty since I was a child. Whatever His Majesty says goes, what do you say, Consort Jing?" Lai Fu was still smiling, but it gave off a sinister feeling.

Consort Jing said "good" several times, then turned and left with her entourage in a sorry state.

Lai Fu straightened his back and coldly swept his eyes over the guards outside. "You all open your dog eyes and see where this place is, who your master is, and who the emperor of Yongrong is."

"If you let any unrelated people get close, you can forget about getting your heads."

Voices of "I dare not" echoed from all around.

Consort Jing hadn't gone far when she heard the commotion and knew that Laifu was talking to her. She cursed him viciously, calling him a "dog servant," but she didn't dare to actually do anything.

As dawn approached, Zhao Zhengcai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty is well now, but you must not take this medicine again, or Your Majesty will be in danger."

Zhao Zheng was so frightened that he could barely walk, and it was only with the help of his guards that he was able to leave.

Lai Fu clasped his hands together and said, "Thank God, thank God."
