The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 85 Part 4

Qi Junzhuo hadn't died—he had been rescued by the wandering Shen Nian.

Shen Nian went wherever there was war. He roamed freely, but his heart always ached for the common people.

At the time, Qi Junzhuo had been ready to die. His most trusted third brother had pushed him off a cliff—no matter how he turned it over in his mind, he couldn't make sense of it. If his third brother had feared him that much, then what did it matter if he died?

But after all those years together, Qi Junzhuo still couldn’t believe his third brother would really do something like that to him.

Zhao Ger spoke up first: "Lord Gu, I'm so sorry for the embarrassment. Why don't you go on ahead? I'll step inside and give the child a lesson."

Lao Gu nodded. Yes, a lesson was definitely in order—otherwise, with Lord Fang raising the boy, heaven knows what he might turn into...

Then voices came from inside the house.

"Daddy, did you hear that just now?"

"I heard it."

Once it was decided that Wen Wan would marry the Third Prince, she stopped leaving the Wen residence. Everyone had their eyes on her—some were waiting to laugh at her missteps, others were looking for any excuse to ruin her chances and keep her from becoming the Third Prince's consort.

During that time, Wen Wan was deeply anxious and kept falling in and out of illness. It wasn’t until right before the wedding that she finally left the Wen residence.

The Wen family, fearing she would fall ill from confinement, let her go out and about to wait for the wedding day.

At the time, Qi Junzhuo had not said a single word. He simply stood there, his face cold, staring at Shen Nian with eyes full of interrogation and disbelief. In Qi Junzhou's eyes, his imperial brother deserved nothing but the finest things this world had to offer—he should never be touched by even a hint of scandal.

Shen Nian had said only one thing in response: "No matter what Your Highness thinks or how you see this, I will not leave."

At those words, Qi Junzhou's face had darkened even further, and he had stormed off in a huff. Because he understood—Shen Nian's confidence came from Qi Junmu himself. No matter how much he refused to believe it, this was the reality.

After that, the officials kept the carriage curtain open the rest of the way. Wherever there were fields by the roadside, the corn, the crops, the bean sprouts—all of it grew luxuriantly, nothing like what they'd seen elsewhere.

In the Ministry of Revenue, when they were younger, they often went out into the fields—why? To see for themselves; otherwise, they'd have no idea how much a mu of land yielded. When reports came in claiming one dan or eight- or nine-dou, they couldn't tell truth from falsehood.

[1 mu ≈ 666.67 m²; 1 dou ≈ 10 kg (based on a rule of thumb for unmilled rice)]

Chapter 85

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had nothing more to say, Qi Junmu rose to take his leave. In that moment, as he stood, both he and the Empress Dowager understood—they would not see each other again.

The Empress Dowager said, "Your Majesty is now without wife, without children, without kin or friends. Do you not feel lonely?"

It was almost laughable—this was the first time he had ever heard her ask whether he felt lonely. But the one who had once longed to hear those words had long since grown up and ceased to hope for anything from this relationship.

Lao Gu's beard trembled. He knew all about Fang Zichen's sharp tongue, but he still shot him an exasperated glare.

Fang Zichen, feeling wronged by the glare, grumbled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lao Gu didn't answer. Partly it was anger—with a mouth like that, if the man didn't have real skills, he'd have been beaten to death the moment he entered the capital.

He hadn't believed it when he set out!
