I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law - Chapter 589

Mu Mingtang stared at him in a daze and seemed to be thrusted into a world of unknown facts.

Xie Xuanchen was riding on a horse, the tip of his sword still dripping with blood. Seeing Mu Mingtang completely stunned, he lowered his head and asked, “Can you still walk?”

In her previous life, at the entrance of Xiangyang alley, he was also the one who held a cold blade and rode a white horse when she was rescued. Back then, he too asked her, “Can you still walk?”

Mu Mingtang nodded subconsciously but paused, shaking her head again while crying. Xie Xuanchen sighed, got off the horse and picked her up, “I really can’t do anything about you.”

Mu Mingtang hugged Xie Xuanchen’s neck as tears abruptly flowed like a spring, “Why are you back?”

“I’m not the only one, my father returned as well.” Xie Xuanchen finished speaking before he grit his teeth and cursed, “This mutt of an Emperor is truly…Fortunately, my father was on guard against him.”

***

In July of the fifth year of Heping, Xie Yi and Guo Rong were on a military expedition when they found out Emperor Gong wanted to kill the members of both families. Therefore, Xie Yi returned to attack the capital in rage, killed Emperor Gong and proclaimed himself Emperor, changing the country’s name to Ye.

In the same year, he named his first wife Yin as the Empress and his son Xie Xuanchen as the King of Qiyang.

Xie Xuanji’s family had never been reclaimed. Later, Xie Rui was found to have tried to tamper with the personal belongings of King Qiyang with intentions to harm. Xie Yi was furious as he beheaded Xie Rui. Then, he drove the Second Madam Xie and Xie Xuanji out of the capital, barred from entry for life.

As for Xie Yi’s Concubine Lu, who he had married many years ago, she had also been dismissed with a sum of money.

In the fourth year of Jianshi, King Qiyang led his troops to attack the Southern Tang region. Xie Yi had always disagreed with Xie Xuanchen being the commander-in-chief, but Xie Xuanchen had asked for his participation in battle several times. As a result, Xie Yi had no choice but to let Xie Xuanchen go.

The battle against Southern Tang went smoothly. By August, Xie Xuanchen returned victoriously with his army. On the day when the army entered the city, Xie Yi personally went out of the palace to greet them as they returned. He saw Xie Xuanchen riding on horseback in front of the entire army with youthful vigor and a dazzling light.

Xie Yi’s eyes suddenly became wet. His son was not in peril nor did he lose control and go crazy. He would be a child of the Gods for his entire life.

Xie Xuanchen, King Qiyang, who was only 17 years old, had already become the well-deserved God of War of the Ye Dynasty.

Similarly, the cowardly soldiers of Xiangyang City were removed early, and thanks to the new soldiers’ bravery, Xiangyang City still stands well to this day. Even though Prince Xie Xuanchen was only 17 years old, he had made great military achievements and was the only son. Soon, the court mentioned the issue of establishing him as the Crown Prince and selecting a concubine for King Qiyang.

Finally, Xie Xuanchen was established as the Crown Prince whereas the Crown Princess was also determined to be the only daughter of the Mu family, Mu Mingtang. The Emperor and Empress thought that Mu Mingtang was still rather young, so they waited until the 6th year of Jianshi, when Mu Mingtang turned 15, before letting the two get married.

On their wedding day, Xie Xuanchen lifted the Crown Princess’s veil with a steelyard scale. He looked at the bright and beautiful girl under the veil and smiled, “The people in the ancient times were right– the grace of saving a life should be pledged with one’s being.”

In this lifetime, both of them had their parents and lived a life without worry. In the end, they lived peacefully until ripe old ages.
