The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Xuan Yuan strode into the side hall of Daming Palace. After entering the hall, he saw Li Mingxue sitting on a chair with a veil on her face. The old doctor who specialized in gynecology in the Imperial Hospital was taking her pulse, and his white goatee was shaking.

The curtains and screens leading to the inner room in the side hall had been lowered, covering the room tightly. The old doctor could not see the situation behind the curtains, let alone Yan Junxian.

Xuan Yuan walked into the inner room with steady steps. After glancing at Li Mingxue, who was wearing a veil but could not hide the surprise on her face, his eyes fell on the old doctor, his eyes were dim, and he asked in a light tone: "But can it be confirmed?"

This old doctor is a gynecologist, and he is the authority among authorities in this regard. If Li Mingxue is really pregnant, with his medical skills and experience, he can definitely diagnose it.

The old doctor continued to take the pulse slowly, frowned and thought for a while, then slowly withdrew his hand, arranged the small jade pillow on the pulse, and then tremblingly bowed and said: "Your Majesty is very happy, Concubine Rou is indeed pregnant, but now the confinement is still in the early stage, less than a month, no one except me can diagnose it."

Xuan Yuan hummed lightly, and there was no joy on his jade-like handsome face. He was still as cold and indifferent as ice and snow, and only said with thin lips: "Reward the imperial physician."

The old imperial physician has been in the palace for many years, and his job is a job that is easy to be insecure. He can still live to this day, which is enough to show that he is a very smart and timely person. At that time, the old imperial physician stroked his white beard, said nothing more, and left with the medicine box.

After the old doctor left, Xuanyuan's eyes fell back on Li Mingxue. His long eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes were light, and there seemed to be a faint smile in the depths of his eyes, as if the clear and calm water suddenly rippled.

"Well done, what reward do you want?" Xuanyuan's thin lips were slightly hooked, his eyes were like ink, and he looked very happy. He tilted his head and asked Li Mingxue, his attitude was calm and ordinary, neither happy nor guilty.

Li Mingxue's face was covered with a layer of white gauze, which covered her face, revealing only her willow-like thin eyebrows and beautiful eyes. She pondered for a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief at Xuanyuan's question.

"If I choose to improve my status, can I move out of this side hall of Daming Palace?" Li Mingxue looked up at Xuanyuan with her eyes focused, as if she wanted to see his true emotions from the bottom of his deep and unfathomable eyes.

Xuanyuan said without hesitation, "No." He looked at Li Mingxue deeply, his eyes were as cold as snow, and he said coldly in Li Mingxue's slightly dim eyes, "You must stay with Yan Junxian."

And she can't enjoy wealth and glory, but she has to endure pain. She will be entangled with Yan Junxian for her whole life, whether it is the love and affection in the original plot or the hatred and hatred now, they must not be separated.

Li Mingxue is not enough for Xuanyuan to make an exception for her, nor is it worth Xuanyuan giving up the task for her. Although this task may not be important to him, Li Mingxue is even less important in comparison.

Although Xuanyuan did not say it clearly, Li Mingxue is not a fool. She has a vague sense of his unfinished meaning and can't help but sigh softly. But people are at the mercy of others, and I am the fish. Li Mingxue is just a weak woman like floating duckweed in the harem, with no power and influence, and she is really powerless to resist.

She raised her hand and touched her belly, which had not yet bulged. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, with a complex look in her eyes. No matter what, before the child was born, she would not be tortured again, and she could always take care of the pregnancy and give birth to the child peacefully.

And if the child was fortunately a boy, he would be the eldest son of His Majesty, and he would inherit the country and be honored as the crown prince in the future. The next emperor would come from her belly and from their Li family, which would be a happy event for Li Mingxue and the Li family.

If she could use the pain she endured to exchange for the Li family's bright future and her son's succession to the throne... Li Mingxue was willing in her heart, and at the same time, she had to admit in her heart that this was really too worthwhile and too cost-effective.

"In that case, please Your Majesty reward my family, but... my father has limited ability and is old, so please don't arrange any important position for him, so as not to ruin your business." Li Mingxue said in a soft voice and timid expression, and she was very sensible and did not ask His Majesty to forcibly grant the Li family too eye-catching and overwhelming wealth.

It's not that Li Mingxue doesn't want the family to become better, but she knows her father's character and ability very well. Her father is a nerd, pedantic, and limited in ability. She is not stupid, so she naturally knows what choice is the most appropriate and will not anger the emperor the most.

Xuanyuan looked at Li Mingxue with a slight appreciation. She has always been very discerning and very sensible. This can be seen from her actions in recent days. She can always strive for the maximum benefit for herself without annoying people.

It's a pity that she is a smart person, but she was dragged down by Yan Junxian. This pair of former lovers probably have their brains and IQ on Li Mingxue. Yan Junxian only has water in his head, probably for fish farming.

"I know, I will give your father a third-rank official position as a senior official. As for your brother..." Xuanyuan said after a moment's hesitation, "He is quite talented. In that case, give him a seventh-rank official position in the Ministry of Revenue and let him enter the court to gain some experience."

Lu Dafu is an official of the Ministry of Rites. It is a sinecure. It has honor and status but no power. Generally speaking, it is given to those great scholars who are famous for their talents. This official title is mainly for honor. It is a position that cannot be more idle.

Li Mingxue was delighted. She knelt down with proper and elegant manners and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She knew what Xuanyuan valued most. She covered her belly with her slender hand and promised in a low voice, "I will give birth to this child well."

Xuanyuan hummed softly, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and a hint of obvious joy flashed across his eyes. Yan Junxian was not suitable to be the emperor. After Xuanyuan left, could the original owner who knew nothing be able to carry the country of Daqing Dynasty?

Xuanyuan was not sure, and it was impossible for him to entrust such a big country to the original owner who had never been involved in government affairs. Therefore, he asked Yan Junxian to leave offspring from the beginning in order to cultivate a qualified emperor heir.

When the heir he chose grows up, it will be time for Xuanyuan to leave this world without any worries. So the sooner this child is born, the better, and the sooner he can shoulder the responsibility of this country, the better.

Gently glancing at Li Mingxue's undeveloped belly, Xuanyuan scanned it with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that it was a boy, he felt relieved a little, and there was also a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He would teach this child well and would never let him have a fish in his head like Yan Junxian.

"Take good care of the baby." Xuanyuan only gave an order, and no longer paid any attention to Li Mingxue, but went straight to the inner room.

The palace servants who were aware of the words and expressions pulled open the curtain covering the inner room in advance. After Xuanyuan strode into the inner room, he looked around and found that the inner room was quite dirty and messy. I'm afraid no one had cleaned it properly for a long time, and there was even a slight odor.

Xuanyuan didn't care about it, just looked at Yan Junxian, who had become quite embarrassed. He hadn't changed his clothes for a long time, and they smelled and were slightly yellowed. His hair was messy and his face was pale.

At this time, Yan Junxian was sitting on the bed, with a look on his face that seemed neither happy nor sad, which was extremely complicated.

Xuanyuan glanced at him indifferently, and noticed that Yan Junxian was discouraged and didn't intend to resist anything. The throne was taken away, he was imprisoned, and all his confidants turned against him. These seemed to have worn away his last bit of ambition and made him depressed.

For Yan Junxian who looked like this, Xuanyuan didn't intend to say anything more to him, and there was nothing to say. He turned around and was about to leave.

Just after Xuanyuan turned around, Yan Junxian's slightly hoarse voice came from behind him: "Li Mingxue is already pregnant, will you kill me?" He thought about it and always felt that he was no longer useful to Xuanyuan, and was very worried that he would be killed by Xuanyuan.

Although he was in great pain now, Yan Junxian still didn't have the courage to die. He still wanted to live, even if it was painful, so he was tortured.

"No." Xuanyuan answered in a low voice and indifferent tone without looking back, "As long as you don't take the initiative to die, you can live forever." He never intended to kill Yan Junxian, although his actions were indeed torturing him.

After leaving the side hall, Xuanyuan simply went to the imperial study again. Now that the court has been stabilized, the problems caused by the Yellow River flood have been solved, and the only thing left is the war between the border and Daqin. After dealing with these things, we can start to implement reforms and make Daqing Dynasty stronger.

Xuanyuan was the one who once captured Lin Yingjie. Lin Yingjie wrote down all the reform plans he wrote down, the formulas of those magical gunpowder, glass and even steel.

Those plans were difficult to realize when Xuanyuan was still Lin Xuanzhu, but now he is the emperor, his will cannot be shaken, and as long as he is willing, he can realize these plans and make Daqing Dynasty better.

Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to write down all the reform plans and formulas he had memorized, and then decide which plans to implement based on the actual situation of the Daqing Dynasty.
