Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 81

royal palace.

It is still the Fengcheng Hall.

Nalan Jingwen walked in and saw Nalan Fengxing pinching his brow, looking tired and weary.

Hearing the voice, without even raising his head, he said, "Didn't I give orders that no one is allowed to come in and disturb me? You..."

He was momentarily stunned when he saw Nalan Jingwen, then immediately stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

"Royal sister, you've arrived!"

Nalan Jingwen was about to bow when she stopped him.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to bow when you see me?"

Nalan Jingwen shook his head.

"The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Nalan Fengxing's face darkened. "We are sisters, why should we have such formalities? Even if I am the emperor, it cannot change our blood ties. Or are you saying you don't intend to acknowledge me as your sister?"

Nalan Jingwen looked up at her. Her expression was hurt and a little angry, but her eyes were sincere and showed no sign of falsehood.

She gave a faint smile and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. I will keep that in mind from now on."

After he finished speaking, a smile returned to Nalan Fengxing's face.

"Let me see if you're hurt."

"No, my sister is fine."

"It's good that you're alright. Ever since you left, I've been worried sick every day, afraid that something might happen to you. Now that you're back, I can finally relax. But why have you lost so much weight?"

"Stay and have lunch with me for a while. It's been a long time since my sister and I have eaten together."

She pulled Nalan Jing along, looking him over from left to right, her eyes filled with heartache.

"it is good."

Nalan Jingwen nodded in agreement, then, remembering her tired appearance just now, asked, "When you came in just now, I saw that you looked worried, sister. Is something wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nalan Fengxing frowned, looking grave.

She glanced at Nalan Jingwen, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Do you know why your elder sister summoned you to the palace in such a hurry this time?

Nalan Jing looked at her, his eyes slightly lowered, appearing respectful.

"I don't know."

Nalan Fengxing took her hand and sat down in the chair.

"We are sisters, you are all I have left, you would never refuse any of my requests, right?"

Nalan Jingwen lowered her eyes and glanced at the hand that was holding hers. It was holding her hand tightly, revealing her nervousness.

"If it is what Your Majesty says, then I will do my best to fulfill it."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Fengxing finally revealed a relaxed smile.

"My elder sister wants you to preside over this sacrificial ceremony."

Nalan Jingwen's eyes narrowed and he frowned.

"Does Your Majesty know what you're saying?"

The ceremony can only be presided over by the next crown prince, unless there is no crown princess or the crown princess is still young. Only then can the current empress preside over the ceremony. She is just a prince, how could she go?

Nalan Fengxing gave a bitter smile, "I have been on the throne for five years, yet I have not produced any offspring. Do you know why?"

Nalan Jingwen's expression was solemn, and he remained silent.

With so many concubines in the harem, yet no one has conceived in all these years. It was initially thought that Nalan Fengxing was deliberately causing this, but judging from her tone now, it seems…

Nalan Fengxing looked at her with a somewhat ferocious expression.

"Some time ago, I ordered the execution of Yue Shijun. Do you know why?"

Nalan Jing looked at her without speaking. Although Nalan Fengxing had many men in his harem, most of them were nameless and lowly servants. There were only a dozen or so with official titles. She had heard of Yue Shijun, but he was just the eldest son of a minor official.

Nalan Fengxing squeezed her hand, gradually tightening his grip. Nalan Jingwen glanced at him with lowered eyes but remained silent.

"He told me he was pregnant! He actually was pregnant! He thought this would bring him favor, but they don't know that the problem is with me! I will never have an heir!"

"So the next moment, I killed him. Before he died, he kept asking why, his incredulous eyes accusing me, so I gouged out his eyes as well!"

Her expression was somewhat deranged. It was a disgrace for a woman to be unable to bear children, especially in the royal family.

No wonder, this explains why Nalan Fengxing has not had any children in the five years since he ascended the throne, even though the court officials have been petitioning every day to expand the harem and select an empress, she remains unmoved.

So she already knew she had a problem?

Those people thought that Nalan Fengxing didn't want them to have children, and even the original owner's own sister thought so.

Who was the person he was having an affair with?

Nalan Fengxing looked at her, his eyes gleaming with crimson, and upon hearing her words, a faint yet mocking smile curved his lips.

"It doesn't matter who it is, I've already killed everyone in his palace."

Anyone who dares to do this again will be punished by everyone in the palace if they are discovered. Therefore, no one will dare to do anything that would dishonor the royal dignity. Many servants will no longer cover for their masters in order to save their lives.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, and Nalan Jingwen looked up abruptly.

“Nalan Ge…”

Nalan Fengxing stared intently at her, quickly composed himself, and said, "I killed all the imperial physicians who treated me, thinking that way no one would know, but I never expected this..."

The palace is the place where secrets are hardest to keep. Countless spies are planted throughout the palace. There are no secrets in the palace, and only the dead can keep secrets.

"I don't know if Nalan Ge knows about this yet, but her behavior is really too strange, and I can't do anything about it."

Nalan Jingwen frowned.

So Nalan Ge's unannounced return to the capital this time was because he knew that Nalan Fengxing was unable to have children, and he wanted to take the opportunity to seize the throne.

If the current empress is ill and unable to have children, and among the royal family, only Nalan Jingwen has the right to inherit the throne, then Nalan Ge's first priority would be to eliminate herself.

So, were the people who were chasing him sent by Nalan Ge?

Nalan Fengxing held her hand tightly, his tone pleading.

"That's why I want you to preside over the ceremony. I will never let the throne fall into the hands of outsiders."

This is to tell everyone that Nalan Jingwen is the next successor.

Nalan Jingwen's expression was complicated; he neither agreed nor refused.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance and cannot be decided hastily. Moreover, what if you could cure him? Do not give up."

Nalan Fengxing shook his head, "It's no use. I've sent people to search for famous doctors all over the world, but there's no cure."

Seeing that Nalan Jingwen was still hesitant, she continued, "I promise you I will not give up and will continue to search for a cure, but you must also promise me to preside over the ceremony. If it is truly incurable, it is better than letting an outsider sit on the throne. In that case, they will definitely kill us all, and neither of us will be able to escape. You are my only family, and I do not want you to be harmed in any way."

Nalan Jingwen pursed his lips and looked at her for a long time before finally saying "okay".

Nalan Fengxing seemed to have a heavy burden lifted off his shoulders and laughed.
