"Yes."

The empress dowager's extremely gloomy and fiendish voice instantly brought everyone back to reality.

Everyone looked as if they had just awoken from a great dream, as if they were still in a dream. They stared blankly at the Meng family, and then at Xuanyuan Yun.

Under everyone's gaze, Xuanyuan Yun calmly and indifferently bent down and lowered Xiao Lan from his body.

As she lifted her head, her thin lips brushed past Xiao Lan's side as she spoke in a low, shallow voice.

"This King will bring you away soon. If you feel pain all over your body, bear with it first."

Xuanyuan Yun then released his hand completely.

Xiao Lan, who was standing on the ground once again, was stunned for a moment. However, when the immense pain that surged wildly throughout her entire body, she finally understood the meaning of Xuanyuan Yun's words. Indeed, she had to endure it and endure it with all her might.

Noticing Xiao Lan trying his best to restrain himself, Xuanyuan Wentian's pitch-black eyes finally stopped on Xiao Lan's side profile.

This pause was obviously meant to be disrespectful to the empress dowager, Madam Meng.

"Young master!"

The empress dowager, Madam Meng, suddenly let out a monstrous, angry roar that frightened everyone present so much that their bodies trembled. Even Xuanyuan Hong couldn't help but straighten his body.

He had never seen her so angry since he could remember.

Presumably... That was the end of the Empress Mother's favor for Xuanyuan Yun.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Hong Xi couldn't help but secretly smile. He really wanted to see all of the wings supporting Xuanyuan, break one by one.

In the midst of the empress dowager's terrible roar, Xuanyuan Feng finally shifted his gaze away from Xiao Lan and raised his head to look into the empress dowager's eyes that were filled with ruthlessness.

"Empress Dowager."

"Tell This Dowager, what is the meaning of this?!"

Xuanyuan Yun was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly, "I don't want a wife anymore."

"Unrelenting Wife?!"

"Yes."

"But you promised This Dowager yesterday!" The empress dowager was already so angry that her face turned pale.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yun suddenly grabbed onto the white robe and brocade before him before kneeling down. "Xuanyuan Yun knows that he has committed an unforgivable sin against the empress dowager, but I still hope the empress dowager can grant his wish."

Instantly, everyone opened their eyes wide in shock.

Regent, he actually kneeled!

He did not kneel to the emperor, he did not kneel to the earth!

And now he was kneeling to the Empress for a woman.

Her eyes were also wide open as she looked at Xuanyuan, who was kneeling on the ground. She took a step forward, and after a while, she pointed her trembling finger at Xuanyuan Yun, her voice filled with extreme grief and indignation.

"You! You … You actually knelt down and mourned your family for a woman. You didn't even kneel down to the late emperor, and instead knelt down to mourn your family. Do you know who she is!? "

The empress dowager's Meng family's roar was so loud that it went on for three days without stopping.

Xuanyuan Yun opened his eyes and looked at the Meng family with a gaze full of respect.

"She is Ulan Yi, the Regent's Consort, the wife of Xuanyuan."

"You!"

He knew what she was talking about, so when he was young, she told him that if he ever saw a girl who was full of ill will and didn't kneel or kowtow to anyone, he had to stay away from her, and even kill her.

She had talked to him for so many years, and in the end, he had actually married this woman back home and held her in his hands as if she were everything. Did he really want to repeat what happened a hundred years ago?

No, she definitely wouldn't allow it!

The despairing empress dowager suddenly stepped forward as if she had gone mad, and in a few steps, she was in front of Xuanyuan Yun. She raised her arm and mercilessly slapped at his face.

In an instant, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Did the empress dowager want to slap the Regent's face in public?!

Just as Her Majesty's palm was about to strike Xuanyuan Po's cheek, what appeared to be a weak and delicate finger gripped tightly onto her wrist like a pair of iron pliers.

Ulan Yi!

Everyone sucked in another breath of cold air, and soon after, the entire hall was deathly silent.

Xiao Lan lifted his eyes indifferently.

Even though the man by her side deserved a beating, being stubborn to the point of … He deserved it, but not everyone could hit him.

"You!" The empress dowager looked at Xiao Lan with a gaze that wished she could flay her muscles and grind her bones to dust.

Xiao Lan smiled indifferently when she saw this.

"Empress Dowager, you're being too polite. Besides, you're a person of etiquette. Wouldn't it hurt your buddhist roots to be so violent and cruel?"

After speaking, Xiao Lan pushed away the Meng clan's hand, causing them to fall to the ground from the immense force.

"Empress Dowager!"

"Empress Dowager!"

Everyone rushed forward.

Xuanyuan Hong Xi arrived at Meng's side in an instant and held onto her body that had fallen to the ground.

By now, the empress dowager's face was ashen.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Hong raised his head and glared fiercely at Xiao Lan.

"You have some guts, Ulan Yi."

"Someone come!" "Drag her away from this world!"

Xuanyuan Hong Xi let out a deafening roar.

In the end, what he got in return was silence like a cicada, with no sound at all. The imperial guards, none of them dared to step forward.

Xuanyuan Hongxi's eyes widened in an instant as he once again let out an explosive roar that resounded through heaven and earth, "Are all of you deaf? I'll let you drag Wanglan down!"

This time, no one moved. Even the imperial guards didn't even glance at them.

In that instant, Xuanyuan Hong fiercely took a step back. His eyes suddenly flashed as if he was staring at a bloody blade at Xuanyuan Yun.

No, this was his imperial guards, this was his imperial city, this was his mountains and rivers, he was the emperor!

Why!

Why didn't they move?

"Xuanyuan, are you going to rebel!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the servants and servants of the palace and the families kneeled on the ground.

Xuanyuan Yun slowly raised his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Hong Xi with an indifferent expression. After that, his gaze fell entirely on the empress dowager, Madam Meng.

"Empress Dowager, Xuanyuan Yu swore before the previous Emperor that he would protect the people of the Eastern State of Taimin in his lifetime, regardless of whether it was in the past or in the future, but before, Xuanyuan Feng did not want the throne, he did not want honor. At this moment, Xuanyuan Yun only wants one person, I hope Empress Dowager can grant my wish."

With that said, Xuanyuan Yun bent his back and respectfully kowtowed.

If one were to say that the Azure Tide in the past was like everyone talking over tea, then from today onwards, she would become a legend. Because of that man who did not kneel to the heavens and did not kneel to the earth … … The others all said that he was a heartless man who strived his hardest to exchange the words of the empress dowager for the empress dowager's consent.

All the women kneeling on the ground had envious looks on their faces.

Who wouldn't want to marry such a man? Now, even if they wanted to marry him, they wouldn't have the chance to do so. To be able to achieve such a state for a woman, his heart must have already been filled with envy.

Empress Dowager Meng's gaze was filled with extreme ruthlessness as she looked at Xuanyuan, then at Xiao Lan.

The country, the people and the peace …

What a peaceful country, but he did not know, with this woman in the world there will no longer be a peaceful country!

The empress dowager took a few deep breaths until her breathing was smooth and there was no longer any change in her body. Then, she took a big step forward and spoke with an extremely cold voice.

"What if I don't agree?"

Everyone was trembling with fear as they secretly looked at the empress dowager and Xuanyuan Wentian.

Half an incense stick of time later, Xuanyuan Yun who was kneeling in front of the palace slowly stood up.

"If it doesn't work, then this mountain and river belongs to this king. The empress dowager can only live the rest of the year in the national protection temple."

In that instant, everyone's foreheads crashed into the bluestone floor.

What did they hear?

The Regent, he, was trying to force the palace!
