If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

"The eldest grandson! The eldest grandson of the Meng family!"

Suddenly, tears streamed down Meng Baishan's face as he looked at Zhao Yu.

The next moment, his knees buckled, and he knelt down straight in front of Zhao Yu!

"Your subject, Meng Baishan, pays respects to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

This kneeling was from the bottom of my heart, a heartfelt expression of admiration!

Zhao Yu quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Father-in-law, what are you doing? Please get up!"

Meng Baishan stubbornly shook his head, his face solemn.

"Your Majesty, although I am the Empress, there is still a distinction between ruler and subject, and the proper etiquette must still be observed!"

His kneeling was not only a kneeling to Zhao Yu, the "eldest son," but also a kneeling to the loyalty and righteousness that he had lost and regained in his heart!

Seeing his insistence, Zhao Yu felt helpless and had no choice but to let him have his way.

"Well... fine then."

Meng Baishan slowly stood up, but his eyes were filled with reverence as he looked at Zhao Yu.

As if suddenly realizing something, his expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Wolf Kingdom's army is at the city gates. The capital is no longer safe. I urge Your Majesty to leave the capital immediately to preserve your health!"

Zhao Yu shook his head.

"General Meng, have you forgotten that I am Zhao Yu, not Zhao Yu?"

Meng Baishan was startled for a moment, then realized what he meant and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes."

Currently, only a handful of people know these royal secrets. Your Majesty can only condescend to do so for now; it was my mistake.

"General Meng, have no worries," Zhao Yu said calmly. "I have already instructed General Meng... to make all the necessary preparations."

"Perfect timing, let's go check on General Meng's preparations."

General Xiao Meng, also known as Meng Qing's younger brother, is Meng Qianshan, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

"yes!"

Meng Baishan clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.

"General Meng, please go ahead. The Empress and I have some private matters to discuss." Zhao Yu waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Meng Baishan immediately understood.

He turned to look at his daughter, Meng Qing, his eyes filled with approval and pride.

What a good daughter! She is truly a good daughter to her father!

Not only did she preserve the Meng family's reputation for loyalty and bravery, but she also became pregnant with the eldest grandson!

This is an incredible achievement!

After giving his daughter a look that said, "I'm proud of you," Meng Baishan strode out contentedly, gently closing the palace door behind him.

Inside the palace, only Zhao Yu and Meng Qing remained once again.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Are you really Zhao Yu's brother?"

"Are you really pregnant?"

Both of them were stunned as soon as the words were spoken.

Meng Qing was the first to react. She looked at Zhao Yu's nervous expression and gently shook her head.

"have no idea."

She said calmly, "It's only been two days, who would know?"

Upon hearing this answer, Zhao Yu felt a sense of relief for some reason.

Thank goodness, I didn't actually become a father.

Wait a minute, why am I feeling relieved?

Am I a jerk?

That shouldn't be the case.

Although Zhao Yu didn't show it, Meng Qing still caught it.

A strange light flashed in Meng Qing's eyes, but she spoke calmly:

"What, you don't want to have it?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhao Yu couldn't help but ponder it.

In my past life, I was always busy acting and never had a proper romance.

I haven't thought about this problem properly either.

Zhao Yu began to think, and it took him a long time to raise his head.

He said solemnly, "I want to, but I don't want to."

"I do want to, because I truly love you, and I truly want to have a child with you."

"I don't want to, because my current situation is like walking on the edge of a cliff, and I inevitably have many worries about my child's future. I don't want him to live in fear with us from the moment he is born."

His words were sincere, heartfelt, and reasonable.

After hearing this, two charming blushes crept onto Meng Qing's cheeks, and her eyes softened.

She turned her head away, no longer looking at him, and instead asked about something else.

"Then... is the matter of the eldest son true?"

That's what she cares about most.

If Zhao Yu is indeed the eldest son of the legitimate wife, then everything will be perfectly legitimate.

Zhao Yu remained silent for a moment.

Meeting Meng Qing's hopeful gaze, he finally shook his head slowly.

"no."

boom!

Meng Qing felt a loud bang in her head and was completely stunned.

She clearly hadn't expected such a devastating outcome.

No?

What was that powerful and pure internal force just now?

"That internal energy is not from the Earth Dragon bloodline." Zhao Yu's voice was soft, yet it clearly reached her ears. "Instead, it is from another opportunity that he cultivated another kind of bloodline power."

"In this world... there are actually such similar bloodlines!" Meng Qing murmured to herself, still finding it hard to believe.

Zhao Yu shrugged: "The world is vast, and anything is possible."

"That's not how it works."

Meng Qing shook her head, looking at him with a solemn expression. "The bloodlines of this world were locked up thousands of years ago. The bloodlines of the royal families of the seven kingdoms today all originate from the founding monarchs thousands of years ago, or from the separate kingdoms established by their branches. But fundamentally, they all follow the same origins, still the same few most original bloodlines."

Is that true?

Zhao Yu was startled.

Isn't this even more feudal than the feudal society of my previous life? Bloodline directly determines one's ceiling?

Meng Qing looked at him, pondered for a moment, and solemnly said, "No matter what happens in the future, from today onwards, you must say that you are Zhao Yu's biological brother, the eldest son! Once this secret is discovered, you will not only become a sinner of the Great Liang, but the Seven Kingdoms will also rise up against you, regarding you as a usurper and traitor!"

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Zhao Yu felt a warmth in his heart and nodded.

He suddenly chuckled mischievously and leaned close to her ear.

"Are you worried about me?"

Meng Qing's face flushed red instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Who...who's worried about you! I'm only worried about myself!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Yu laughed loudly, and then stretched out his long arm to pull her soft waist into his embrace.

"Since the Empress is so 'worried' about me, perhaps... we should make preparations as soon as possible?"

He lowered his head, his nose almost touching hers, his warm breath brushing against her face.

"It's still early. Why don't I make an effort now to turn those lies into reality?"

Meng-Qing trembled, feeling a surge of heat rise from the bottom of her heart and instantly spread throughout her body.

She bit her red lips, her long eyelashes trembling incessantly.

Finally, she gave a barely audible "hmm" and nodded.

……

……

at the same time.

Outside the imperial city, on the shore of Yuquan Lake.

A continuous stretch of tents stood here, and squads of Wolf Kingdom soldiers, wearing felt hats and carrying curved swords, gathered together.

Soon, a huge army was formed outside the military camp.

Before the army, on a makeshift platform, the wolf-skin boy walked step by step to the center of the platform.

When the crowd below the stage saw the boy, they all cheered.

"Little Wolf!"

"Little Wolf!"

Xiao Yue Jin Shang smiled and waved his hand. Once the audience quieted down, he began to speak:

"My lads! Before us lies the capital of the Great Liang!"

Inside are countless treasures of gold and silver, endless silks and satins, and the most beautiful women in the Great Liang!

"Once we breach the city gates, everything will be ours!"

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

The crowd cheered excitedly.

"Don't worry, Zilang never likes to eat alone. After I've tasted it, I'll give you all the concubines of the Great Liang Emperor's harem!"

Those who perform well may even be given a taste of the Empress of Liang!

"Little Wolf!"

"Little Wolf!"

Seeing the atmosphere reach its climax, Xiaoyue Jinshang also laughed wildly.

He, Xiaoyue Jinshang, is determined to win this battle!
