Chapter 502: Chapter 502: The Empress is Probably Going to be Unlucky Chapter 502: Chapter 502: The Empress is Probably Going to be Unlucky “Brother Yan, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have pressured you, I failed to consider the bigger picture and focused only on my own feelings.”

Wang Yingluo looked at Jun Yuyan with heartfelt sincerity and said,
“Brother Yan, you are right. Even if the Empress does not like Ah Ying, that’s only natural. She hasn’t made any serious mistakes, and she has borne you children, contributing significantly to Great Yan. How could I force you to make a decision? I was being too petty and narrow-minded, Brother Yan. You need not feel troubled, whatever decision you make, Ah Ying will support you, with unconditional approval!”

Jun Yuyan’s face showed a touch of emotion and growing guilt.

“Ah Ying, you truly are a woman of rarity in this world, so magnanimous and understanding. I have wronged you.”

“No, Brother Yan, don’t say such things. Our hearts understand each other, I know you would not betray our feelings. Her Majesty the Empress has made contributions and also endured hardships, she has a high reputation among the people, and she is truly the most suitable person to be the Empress. Whereas Ah Ying, just a common girl, should not aspire toward things she shouldn’t. However, just the thought of you, Brother Yan, possibly being intimate with Her Majesty the Empress in the future makes it unbearable for Ah Ying.”

Wang Yingluo looked at him and said, “Brother Yan, Ah Ying can stay by your side without any title or recognition, but, Ah Ying has just one request.”

Jun Yuyan guessed what Wang Yingluo wanted to say. He took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, and said, “I will not let the woman I love be without status.”

“Brother Yan, I know, but can you listen to Ah Ying’s request first?”

“Alright, speak.”

“Ah Ying only hopes that besides herself, Brother Yan, you will not be with any other women. I know this is very selfish, but isn’t loving someone about wanting to possess them entirely?”

Jun Yuyan fell silent.

His silence left Wang Yingluo uncertain about his thoughts.

Emperors historically had multiple palaces and many consorts; every Emperor who proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, True Dragon Emperor naturally enjoyed all the beauties in the realm. Not a single Emperor was an exception, the only outlier being Emperor Jun Yuyan of Great Yan in history, who had only Empress Murong as his wife, his harem desolate, regarded by countless women in later generations as the most affectionate man in the world.

However, history is, after all, just history.

It might have been beautified by historians.

Moreover, Wang Yingluo knew the sense of crisis in her heart stemmed from Murong Jiu’s peerless beauty.

It’s hard for a man not to be attracted by Murong Jiu’s face.

As much as she hated to admit it, Murong Jiu was indeed the most beautiful woman Wang Yingluo had ever seen, as if meticulously crafted by the goddess Nuwa, flawless and perfect.

She worried, the more Jun Yuyan interacted with Murong Jiu, the more he would be drawn to her.

As it was, even before entering the palace, she had mentioned the Empress to him, and at that time, Jun Yuyan was quite indifferent. Now, it was clearly different.

“Brother Yan…”

Wang Yingluo looked at him with tearful eyes, “Forget it, in the end, it was just Ah Ying’s foolish dreams.”

She stepped back and turned to run outside.

“Ah Ying.”

Jun Yuyan called out, and she immediately stopped in her tracks, turning her head to look at him, her eyes brimming with tears, the sight likely to stir any man’s protective instincts.

She felt like her current state was almost shattering from heartbreak.

And she also had to persevere, for once Jun Yuyan truly indulged in Murong Jiu, the consequences for herself would be unimaginable and uncontrollable.

Men are like that, once you open a small gap, the gap will widen in the future.

Not just Murong Jiu, other women might also appear later on.

She had traveled through time not to watch other women engage in palace strife but to create a miracle, to leave her name in history.

“Brother Yan… If it’s too hard for you, let’s forget each other in the secular world. I can understand your guilt towards the Empress, but for Ah Ying, pure love is a bottom line, and I do not wish nor want to attend to one man with other women. The divine grandfather told me once that to spend a lifetime with only one person is what all women in the world strive for.”

“Ah Ying, you are right, I have also always remembered, a lifetime, one lifetime, a pair of people, this is also my pursuit. Come back, my grand undertakings cannot be without you.”

A lifetime, a lifetime, a pair of people, naturally referred to him and his Empress.

As for the eternal cause, it wasn’t wrong, either; the inventions brought from future generations by Wang Yingluo were enough to make Great Yan the most powerful empire.

Wang Yingluo was indeed greedy, wanting everything, and it was fully demonstrated in her.

Having received a satisfactory response, Wang Yingluo wept with joy.

Seeing that she was about to rush into his arms, Jun Yuyan hurriedly said in a stern voice:
“The Empress also made a mistake this time, I will immediately have someone drive that wolf out of the palace, to avoid scaring anyone again.”

Wang Yingluo actually didn’t want that, because she wanted to claim Murong Jiu’s wolf for herself, but Jun Yuyan was adamant. On second thought, considering how much Murong Jiu cared about this wolf, driving it out of the palace to fend for itself seemed rather satisfying.

Thinking this, she said aloud, “But Her Majesty the Empress must be very sad, right?”

Jun Yuyan said coldly, “Everyone must pay the price for their mistakes.”

Wang Yingluo felt great inside.

Now that Jun Yuyan felt guilty towards Murong Jiu, these “mistakes” would gradually clear up over time.

How much longer could her position as Empress last?

“I will have Eunuch Li help you move to Cining Palace. Once I return from training the army at the military camp, we will discuss the matter of your status, alright?”

Wang Yingluo did not want to be a concubine, even as a Noble Consort, she was still a concubine.

But she had already agreed to Jun Yuyan, allowing Murong Jiu’s existence, so she could only nod in agreement.

Well, from Noble Consort to Empress was not impossible.

After the matter with the Crown Prince and Princess, she suddenly felt she could not keep stringing Jun Yuyan along; a real relationship needed to be established to completely wrap Jun Yuyan around her finger.

By then, if Jun Yuyan spent every night in her palace, wouldn’t Murong Jiu be mad with jealousy?

In this way, Murong Jiu would have even more opportunities to make mistakes.

The more she thought about it, the more Wang Yingluo felt it was a good idea.

They could have children later, just their love was enough for now.

After a couple of years, once she had a child, she would find a way to eliminate the Crown Prince and Princess.

Watching Jun Yuyan leave, Wang Yingluo happily packed her things, ready to move to Cining Palace.

Although she had not been in the palace long, she had many treasures, all gifted by Jun Yuyan or bought by herself in the Capital City.

She could not even buy so many treasures in her previous life with the money she made.

It could be said that she truly lived the regal life of luxury and abundance.

Jun Yuyan arrived at Kunning Palace with a stern face.

The palace servants outside did not dare to breathe too loudly, anyone could see the Emperor was furious.

The Empress was probably in trouble.

As soon as he entered the Empress’s palace, Jun Yuyan relaxed his shoulders, rubbed his face, and walked inside.

“Your Majesty,” Hong Yi and Chun Tao hurriedly greeted him with a bow.

“Hmm, go out and stand guard.”

As he spoke, Jun Yuyan picked up a tea cup that had been used beside him and drank it all in one go.

“Where is the Empress?”
