Chapter 467: The Grand Finale!
The Empress grew even more guilty and said, Husband, Im sorry; I didnt mean to
Lin Beifan was filled with anger and exclaimed, You didnt mean to? You kept this from me for a whole three years! How many three years do we have in our lives?
The Empress peeked out from under the blanket, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Her voice was weak as she said, Husband, you promised that no matter what wrongs I had committed in the past, you would forgive me.
Lin Beifan was shaking with anger. Fine! So, youve been waiting here for me, plotting behind my back, making me feel so ashamed! Zhang Wujis mother was right, the prettier the woman, the better she is at deceiving people!
The Empress buried her head in the blanket, feeling guilty.
Lin Beifan, angered, pulled the blanket away.
The Empress was nervous and trembling. She asked, Husband, what do you intend to do?
Lin Beifan sneered, Your Majesty, what can I do now? Im full of grievances and need to vent them, and unfortunately, youll be the one to bear it. I hope Your Majesty understands my pain.
The Empress cried out, Please, no!
But I must! Lin Beifan pounced on her.
The chamber was filled with the sounds of tender moans and sighs. Shortly after, the eunuch and palace maids came rushing in.
One of the eunuchs asked the eunuch guarding the door, Whats the situation?
Liu Gonggong, Her Majesty and the Prince Consort have not yet risen.
The eunuch in charge was quite pleased. Excellent, this way theres a chance for the Dragon Prince or Dragon Princess to be born not long after! Spread the word that the morning court session is canceled today. Tell all officials not to disturb His Majesty and the Crown Prince unless its an urgent matter!
Yes, Liu Gonggong! The attendants left.
It wasnt until the afternoon that Lin Beifan finally walked out of the palace with a relaxed expression. He instructed his attendants, Her Majesty is resting because shes feeling unwell. If theres nothing urgent, do not disturb her.
Yes, Your Highness! The attendants replied.
Lin Beifan hurried to his study, dealt with some urgent state matters, and then returned to the Lin residence. He confessed his own situation to those around him. In the evening, he returned to the palace.
By then, the Empress had already woken up and was having her meal. When she saw Lin Beifan enter, she shot him an annoyed look and said, You scoundrel!
Lin Beifan asked with concern, Your Majesty, are you feeling better now?
The Empress was even more furious and replied, What do you think?
Lin Beifan picked up a bowl of porridge and said, Your Majesty, let me feed you to make amends.
Hmph! Thats the least you can do! The Empress said, her anger evident.
After she had eaten her fill, Lin Beifan picked her up again. The Empress was alarmed and asked, What are you planning to do now?
Lin Beifan, with a sense of great righteousness, said, Your Majesty, the Great Wu royal family must not end, and we should strive to continue the Great Wu bloodline. Your Majesty, rest assured, I am willing to give my all and sacrifice myself for this cause, even to the point of death!
And so, the Empress was once again subdued by Lin Beifan.
While Lin Beifan and the Empress enjoyed their peaceful life, chaos brewed outside the borders of Great Xia.
The news of the events at Lin Beifan and the Empresss wedding had spread.
The Emperor of Great Xia had dispatched an advanced grandmaster to assassinate the Prime Minister of Great Wu and the Empress. To everyones surprise, the Prime Minister Lin Beifan turned out to be a supreme grandmaster, the strongest of the time. He easily defeated the Great Xia grandmaster and declared that after the wedding, he would personally go to the Great Xia Imperial City to take the Emperors head.
A supreme grandmaster was just too powerful; no one could stand against them, not even a million-strong army. Panic spread among the court officials and people who learned of this news. Some began secretly packing their belongings to escape.
In the Great Xia court, officials were in a frenzy, desperate to find out the whereabouts of the unparalleled grandmaster.
One official trembled and said, Your Majesty, the supreme grandmaster is a legendary figure, like a dragon that appears and disappears at will. Its not easy to find him. Weve done our best; please forgive us.
The Great Xia Emperor erupted in anger. Incompetents! Youve had three days, and you cant find a single person. What use are you? Find him immediately, and if you cant, dont bother coming back!
Yes, Your Majesty! The officials retreated in fear.
Alone in the hall, the Great Xia Emperor sighed deeply, filled with regret.
If only he hadnt provoked Lin Beifan. He had thought that Lin Beifan was just a powerless scholar. He believed that by eliminating him, he could get rid of the threat and solve a major problem. But Lin Beifan turned out to be a dragon in disguise.
He had sent skilled experts to deal with Lin Beifan, but they were easily defeated, and Lin Beifan even threatened to come and kill him. Now, he deeply regretted his actions.
His only hope was to find another supreme grandmaster to confront Lin Beifan. However, supreme grandmasters were exceedingly rare and elusive, making it a daunting task to locate one.
He sighed heavily. In the skies above the Great Xia Imperial Palace, a figure appeared. When people saw this figure, panic immediately ensued.
Its Lin Beifan! That person is Lin Beifan!
The supreme grandmaster of Great Wu!
What?!
The Great Xia Emperor quickly received the news and hurried out of the palace. To his astonishment, he saw a figure in the sky. This person, even if he turned into ashes, the Emperor would recognize himit was Lin Beifan, who had threatened to come and take his head.
The Great Xia Emperors face turned pale, and he asked, How did he arrive so quickly?
Your Majesty Xia, its been a while. I hope youre doing well, Lin Beifan said with a smirk. When I let you go back then, I didnt expect you to repay kindness with enmity, sending people to plot against me and the Empress. What do you think I should do with you?
The Great Xia Emperor spoke in a low voice, Prime Minister Lin, it was my wrongdoing. I apologize and offer compensation. You can take whatever you want from this palace. I wont object.
Lin Beifan chuckled, Why make it so troublesome? Killing you, wont all these things become mine?
The Great Xia Emperors expression darkened further, So theres no room for negotiation?
Lin Beifan shook his head, There was never a need for negotiation. A person should keep their word. I said I would take your head, and it must be done without delay.
In that case The Great Xia Emperor turned extremely desperate. Everyone, obey my command! Kill him!
Yes, Your Majesty!
The Imperial Guards and various skilled individuals from the court rushed in.
Struggling in vain, Lin Beifan extended his hand and lightly waved it downward. A terrifying force swept across all directions, injuring all the skilled individuals and soldiers of the Great Xia court. They lost the ability to resist.
No!!! The Great Xia Emperor screamed in horror.
Then, Lin Beifan turned his gaze toward the terrified Great Xia Emperor.
Youre an emperor; Ill grant you some dignity. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Great Xia Emperor was immediately frozen into an ice sculpture, preserving his terrified expression.
Later, a gust of wind blew, shattering the ice sculpture into pieces.
The Great Xia Emperor met a tragic end, and the bloodline of the Great Xia royal family was completely extinguished. Chaos ensued in Great Xia, with no clear leadership, and the officials ruled their own territories independently, divided into multiple factions.
Naturally, neighboring countries eyed this fertile land, but they were cautious because of Lin Beifan and Great Wu.
As for another potential threat, Great Yan, Lin Beifan couldnt be bothered to deal with it.
After all, that country was already in chaos enough, and the royal family, officials, and people were all addicted to vices. They wouldnt live for many more years. Let them fight among themselves, and Great Wu would clean up the mess when the time came.
The current Lin Beifan, in terms of power and strength, had reached the pinnacle. He had no more ambitions.
Now, all he wanted was to live a peaceful life with his wife and children, enjoying the warmth of home. He was focused on building a family and continuing his bloodline.
