Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.

His eyes were fixed on the crowd, his mind completely blank.

"call……"

At the same time, the small lamp by his bedside suddenly burst into flames, more than an inch high, as if oil had been added to it.

The flame crackled and popped, then slowly shrank back to normal, and the dim flames lit up again.

"Your Majesty!"

The Empress let out a heart-wrenching cry, tears streaming down her face.

"Grandmother, please take care of yourself."

Gu Jinyan quickly helped her to the bedside.

"Your Majesty... Heaven has blessed our Great Chang Dynasty! You... you've finally woken up! You've finally woken up!"

The Empress threw herself onto the Emperor, her trembling hands tightly gripping his, and she wept uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, Yue... Yue'er... why are you crying?"

Memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave, and the emperor opened his mouth, only to be momentarily stunned.

After a long while, he slowly raised his hand to stroke her cheek, a look of astonishment appearing on his pale face.

"I...I just had a nightmare...I felt like I was floating in the air, my body was light and airy, and suddenly something pulled me down."

The Empress pressed his hand to her face, sobbing uncontrollably.

"His Majesty's primordial spirit was lost; if it weren't for Liuli finding it..."

"It was she who brought you back, Your Majesty. I thought I would never see you again!"

His Majesty slowly looked at Yin Liuli, his voice hoarse as he spoke.

"I have seen you before, just now! I didn't hear what you said to me clearly."

Yin Liuli curled her lips and said casually,

"Your Majesty's spirit is in a state of chaos; I am merely guiding Your Majesty's soul back to its source."

A flicker of doubt flashed in the Emperor's bloodshot eyes. He raised his hand and patted his head.

"What...what happened to me before? It seems...everything went black, and I can't remember anything after that?"

The image of that colossal python flashed through Yin Liuli's mind, and she couldn't help but mutter something.

"I pulled you out of a python's belly, so it's best not to remember."

If you really remember, I'm afraid you'll be so disgusted that you won't be able to eat.

"Anle, what did you say?"

The emperor looked completely bewildered.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Yin Liuli quietly stuck out her tongue and said in a serious tone, "His Majesty's soul has left his body, so naturally he won't remember what happened before."

Looking into those playful eyes, the Emperor sighed softly.

"Fine... You saved me? I knew you weren't spoiled for nothing!"

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow and said casually,

"It was Her Majesty the Empress who saved His Majesty. If she hadn't summoned me back in time, His Majesty might have..."

Before she could finish speaking, the Empress suddenly grasped her hand, her eyes filled with tears and gratitude.

"Liuli, you don't need to be modest before His Majesty. If it weren't for you, His Majesty and I would be in an even more miserable state!"

"The Empress and I are husband and wife, sharing joys and sorrows. No matter what, she will always be the only wife in my heart."

"Liuli, you saved my life, and you saved the fate of my Great Chang Kingdom!"

The Emperor gently patted the Empress's hand, took a breath, and slowly said, "Just tell me what you want. Whatever I can give you, I will give you!"

Yin Liuli shook her head and said calmly,

"But His Majesty has already given me so much. I have the title of Princess Anle, my own residence, and plenty of money to spend. It's enough to support my mother, my master, and my senior brothers."

"This humble woman doesn't know what else she needs... How about this, could we ask His Majesty for it when we need it?"

"Hahaha...cough cough!"

The Emperor was amused by the boy's innocent and naive face and burst into laughter. He then coughed violently a few times, clutching his chest, before waving his hand and saying...

"I promise you, I will grant you whatever you desire when you decide to ask for it!"

Besides, aren't you and Yan'er getting married? The Empress and I will personally officiate your wedding ceremony, what do you say?

Standing silently behind Yin Liuli, Chu Lingyun felt a surge of indescribable emotions.

Despite telling himself countless times that all he needed to do in this life was be the best senior brother to his junior sister, that was enough.

But every time he heard about their wedding, he felt an indescribable pang of pain in his heart.

"real?"

Gu Jinyan's eyes lit up, and before Yin Liuli could speak, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed exaggeratedly.

"Your Majesty, I thank you!"

The fact that His Majesty and the Empress personally presided over the wedding was an immense honor!

This was tantamount to declaring to the world that he and Yin Liuli held an unparalleled position among the royal descendants, a guarantee for the couple's entire lives.

Even if the crown prince were to ascend the throne again in the future, he would not dare to show the slightest disrespect to the couple.

"And this one... I remember you, you are Liuli's senior brother."

The Emperor turned his gaze to Chu Lingyun, "You have rendered meritorious service by saving me with Liuli. Just ask for whatever reward you desire."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Lingyun bowed respectfully and said in a cool voice, "This humble subject does not seek any reward."

A thoughtful look flashed in His Majesty's eyes, and he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I see that you are exceptionally skilled in both Taoism and medicine, and your medical expertise is superb. I request that you remain in the palace to oversee the Imperial Medical Academy. What do you say?"

Chu Lingyun's face remained expressionless, and he shook his head.

"I am but a humble commoner, living a life of leisure and wandering, and I cannot bear a life of restraint. I beg Your Majesty's understanding."

He didn't want to be an imperial physician, much less take charge of the Imperial Medical Academy.

He only wished to be his junior sister's senior brother, to protect her for the rest of his life, and that would be enough.

"Very well, if this is not your intention, I will not force you."

The Emperor glanced at Yin Liuli with a smile, waved his hand, and said, "Liuli, do you know that what your senior brother doesn't want is something that the world's most devoted healers would fight tooth and nail for?"

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow.

"My senior brother doesn't care."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Emperor burst into laughter, and a subtle, profound glint flashed in his deep, majestic eyes.

Yin Liuli possesses extraordinary skills and is a rare genius in the world.

People like her and Chu Lingyun must be recruited and their hearts controlled, otherwise they will become endless troubles.

It wasn't that he was sinister; it was the art of rulership.

Fortunately, Yin Liuli was going to be his granddaughter-in-law and become a member of the royal family. The Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and looked outside, his voice turning deep.

"Princess Anle must be exhausted from using magic to save me. I will send them back in my carriage."

Summon the people outside in, and keep the Empress here. Ask her and me what happened!

Just by looking at the people standing outside, he understood everything.

A surge of anger welled up within him.

"His Majesty has just woken up and needs to rest. It's not too late to ask them later."

A hint of worry flashed in the Empress's phoenix eyes as she pursed her lips and offered words of advice.

"Bring him in."

The Emperor's face was stern, and his voice was frighteningly low, "Empress, there's no need to persuade me anymore. If it weren't for the fact that I was destined to live, we, husband and wife, would probably both die at the hands of that unfilial son today!"
