Chapter 243: Kidnapped!

The discussion about whether Yan Huan was blessed by the heavens went on for days. It went so out of control that even the Emperor had to change the imperial guards guarding the prison. Thankfully, the new ones weren't as fanatics or superstitious as the previous ones, and couldn't give in to the female lead's coaxing words.

Shortly, two sides emerged among which one of them was genuinely praising the male Empress of the country and another side was paid by the traitors behind the scenes to make an effort to spread the word about the female lead's heavenly disposition. Things became difficult to handle, especially after the citizens were involved.

But since the Emperor had no evidence to prove his words, he could only sit back and watch the show. More precisely, he was sitting inside his Empress's room and watching his lover's face with a surprised expression.

Tyler, who couldn't sit still, finally opened his mouth and told his senior one secret about this ger: those three wishes. If they wanted, they could use these wishes to find those traitors and send them behind the bars. That was the real intention behind his actions. He really didn't want to fight those sick people who wanted to overthrow the dynasty and become rulers of the nation!

There was another reason why he told his senior about it. The process to make one wish was tedious. He would have to perform a ceremony for the entire night without having anyone to disturb him. So he couldn't just go behind his lover's back and do something like this, could he?

When he thought about it, he realized that he could, but he didn't want to lie to this Emperor.

Liang Deming, who just heard something strange, stayed silent and crossed his arms around his chest. This wish thing was indeed useful, but there should be a side-effect that Tyler didn't know just yet. Things like wishes wouldn't just drop from the heavens into your lap without taking anything back. He was sure that if the heavens had decided to give his ger something, they would take something back in exchange. The question was what exactly would they take away?

After thinking for a while, Liang Deming smiled and pulled his Empress in his arms before kissing Tyler's forehead. "No need."

Tyler was stunned to see that. He had thought that his lover would get excited after hearing those words, but who would have thought that the Emperor would reject this proposal straight away? He pulled away and narrowed his eyes. "Why? This is our chance."

"Do you know these things don't ensure your happiness?" His senior snorted. "The heavens would certainly take away something in exchange for one wish. I don't want to risk your well-being for temporary happiness!"

Tyler really didn't think of this! If what his lover was saying was true, then it means that one wish cost the original villain his life! Even his child wasn't left alone in this fiasco! But for some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart as if something bad were about to happen if he wouldn't use the power of his wishes. He suppressed the feeling of unease in his heart and asked, "So what else can we do?"

"We will wait." The male lead said and leaned back on his seat. "And find the evidence about Yan Huan's pregnancy in the background."

As Liang Deming said, they waited and the argument continued to look out at the brothels of all kinds. They even searched the black market of the herbs where costly and dangerous drugs would be sold at cheaper rates, but he still couldn't find anything. It seemed as if every kind of evidence he wanted to be disappeared from the face of the Earth!

The Emperor frowned as he continued to listen to the spy. At this time, it had already been a few days ever since the argument started, and the two sides were at the brink of war. If he wouldn't hurry up, he knew that things could go even worse. This was what the enemy in the palace wanted!

He shouldn't have left those b*stards out in the open! He should have just forced all of the officials outright at the beginning when he had heard about the traitors hidden in the palace the first time!

After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down and thought more about it. It seemed that not only the traitor's aim seemed to be the throne, that person also wanted to take down the Empress with him. It seemed that the enemy didn't want the royal offspring to live longer in this world. So he would have to make sure that his partner would be careful.

But what he didn't know was when he started to search for Tyler, he wouldn't be able to find his lover at all! His soldiers frantically scanned the entire palace, but their Empress seemed to have disappeared in thin air! The entire palace went into panic mode, especially the maids close to the Empress.

At this time, The ger was pregnant and couldn't do many things due to a weak body. So the Emperor had ordered the maids to take special care of Tyler at this time, and even hold the ger's hands while walking in the garden. Ever since Tyler came into this world, he had known that this ger's body was weaker, but pregnancy seemed to have sucked away all his energy. Not just walking, he even most of the time in his day!

So the Emperor was sure that his baby wouldn't have gone anywhere on his own, but was kidnapped! And he just knew that those traitors were involved in this incident!

At this time, when the male lead was frantically looking for Tyler throughout the palace, a certain male Empress had just woken up from his slumber and was shocked to see himself in a dark room. "Where am I?"

Did he somehow transmigrate to another world in his sleep, and he didn't even realize it? He tilted his head. But when he touched his stomach that had a slight bulge in his stomach, he was relieved. He was still in the same world, and he hadn't given birth to the baby in his womb.

So if he hadn't transmigrated to another world, where the heck was he?! A trace of panic hit his heart. Should he consume those herbs now? He could feel in his intuition that his situation wasn't right, and the most important thing to recover his memories was his powers. He still didn't know much about what these powers were, and why they were lost. He didn't even know his senior's name yet!

But he knew one thing for sure: if he continued to collect those powers, he would be able to get closer to reality. After realizing this, he didn't waste a second before he took out those herbs from his inventory and ate them quietly before anyone could come inside.

After eating it, he suddenly felt a strong source of energy engulfing his entire body. He didn't feel weak anymore. But this feeling lasted only for a while before his body went limp and power disappeared to God knows where.

Just as he leaned back on the ground, curling up against the wall, he heard movements and the door was suddenly opened. He glanced up. A few people entered the dark room, and other than moonlight, there wasn't any source of light. So he couldn't see the other person's face who had entered.

That person scoffed. "So this is the so-called Empress? I'm really disappointed at his majesty's choice. He seems so weak."

Then another voice came from the outside that was also male. "He's pregnant. What do you expect?"

"How can we kill off the two of them without any suspicion rising upon us?"

The man standing outside sighed and said, "Not possible unless you want to reveal that the kidnapper has a special source through which he could buy costly herbs."

"We should just kill them." And the person standing before Tyler raised his hands toward the sword hanging on his waist as if he was ready to take it out and slash it against the ger's neck.

"Don't!" The person outside instantly stopped the foolish person inside the dark room. "Are you crazy?! Do you want to be killed by He Qiao's family?"

Tyler then remembered that the family background of He Qiao was special especially since he was a prince belonging to a neighboring kingdom. In the real storyline, after the villain had been killed, his sins had been declared to everyone. So since He Qiao was in the wrong, not even his family members could do anything to the Emperor.

But now, things aren't the same.

Tyler had almost become someone who was heaven's beloved. So how could He Qiao's family not do anything if he were to be murdered in the Liang Dynasty? If Tyler were to be killed by the kidnappers, things would go even crazier since the traitors were afraid that the He family would collude with the Emperor and kick the kidnappers out of the country sooner than ever!

The man outside thought of this and immediately paled. "Don't forget. We have to push the Emperor down, not kill his offspring. This can come after we replace Liang Deming!"
