My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

Ministry of Justice.

The Left Prime Minister looked at Li Xuanjing, his gaze extremely complex, with hatred, regret, and confusion.

The person before him was once his most proud and hopeful disciple.

At that time, how spirited was he?

Top scholar in the six subjects, renowned through the ages.

As the leader of the newly admitted scholars, he raised an arm, and tens of thousands responded.

At that time, the Left Prime Minister thought that the future court would be his.

Indeed, the current court is truly his.

A close minister to the Emperor, wielding immense power.

He could acquire Death Exemption Tokens at will and demand the Imperial Sword whenever he wished. Nobles viewed the common people as straw, and he viewed the nobles as dirt dogs.

The Emperor's trust in him left everyone perplexed to this day.

The outcome was just as the Left Prime Minister predicted years ago; twenty years have passed, and he has become the one atop the Daxia, second only to one person.

This is the result the Left Prime Minister wanted, but not the process he desired.

Twenty years ago, while the Confucian disciples sacrificed themselves for righteousness, he chose betrayal.

He sold out his peers and survived by living a despicable life.

His Vast Righteous Qi had utterly disappeared.

These days, every time he saw Li Nuo, it was as if he saw the shadow of that person from years ago.

How could a treacherous person produce such a son?

This raised a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Back then, their reform had been achieved in another more thorough way.

At that time, they only wanted to limit the nobles' power; now, in Daxia, nobles have nearly vanished.

What if he was merely enduring humiliation, determined to achieve what hadn't been achieved twenty years ago in another way?

Confirming this is simple.

As long as he doesn't abandon his original intention, the Vast True Qi won't disappear.

But the result undoubtedly disappointed the Left Prime Minister.

There wasn't the slightest trace of Vast Qi within him.

Unless he had Confucian Semi-Saint level cultivation, it would be impossible to hide from his investigation just now.

The Left Prime Minister looked intently at Li Xuanjing and asked in a deep voice, "Tell this old man, what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Xuanjing replied indifferently, "I don't understand the Left Prime Minister's words."

The Left Prime Minister asked directly, "After the Dual Kings' Rebellion, you took the opportunity to kill so many nobles, and bloodily cleansed the Wang family's officials in court, what was it all for?"

Li Xuanjing was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Of course, for revenge. If it weren't for them, Wan'er wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have fallen to the point where everyone curses me now. If they don't die, I won't find peace."

Although this is already the consensus, the Left Prime Minister still hoped to hear a different answer from him.

Even if just a little bit was for the people, for those deceased classmates...

The Left Prime Minister didn't speak again and turned to leave.

As he was about to walk out of the government office, he paused once more, without turning his head, and asked again, "These past few months, the cases of nobles being assassinated, was it your doing?"

These days, he gradually understood one thing.

If you can't change those people, then destroy them.

In the entire Chang'an, few people had the capability to silently kill those nobles without leaving a trace.

He, who controlled the Ministry of Justice and Spiegel Bureau, was undoubtedly one of them.

Li Xuanjing shook his head, saying, "No."

Disappointed, the Left Prime Minister said no more, leaving in silence.

Shortly after, the space within the government office fluctuated, and a figure emerged.

The young man stood beside Li Xuanjing, looking in the direction the Left Prime Minister had left, asking, "What did the Left Prime Minister want with you?"

Li Xuanjing said, "He asked about the nobles' assassination cases."

The young man's eyes flickered slightly but said nothing, casually picking up a book on the table, and said indifferently, "Your Li family's people are all quite talented in the Medical Path..."

A short while later, the young man asked again, "How much time do I have left?"

Li Xuanjing said, "Three years."

The young man frowned, asking, "So little?"

Li Xuanjing replied, "The Emperor carries the fate of Daxia Country, after sixty years, his daily life span depletes several times that of ordinary people. Even with the replenishment of Royal bloodline, it won't last long."

The young man said in a deep voice, "The Daxia Imperial Family is almost entirely killed by you and me. Should I kill my own son?"

Li Xuanjing looked out the window, saying, "The Emperor forgets, on this continent, it's not only the Li Clan that holds royal blood."

The young man was silent for a long time, slowly asking, "Could it be that if I wish for immortality, I must kill them all and unite the world under one rule?"

Li Xuanjing withdrew his gaze, saying, "Throughout history, how many mighty figures have sought immortality and failed? If the Emperor wishes to share the lifespan of Heaven and Earth, he must become the ruler of the world..."

The young man did not speak again, remained silent for a long while, then lightly waved his sleeve and disappeared from where he stood.

On the long table in the government office, a palm-sized glazed bottle was left.

The liquid inside the bottle appeared as crimson as blood.

...

Ningxin Garden.

In the blink of an eye, it's been nearly two months since returning to Chang'an.

Jiaren and Anning's due dates are in the coming days, and two experienced midwives have been by their side, twelve two-hours a day.

In these two months, with the assistance of the Imperial Hospital, Li Nuo has already completed the basic medical reform of Daxia.

Obstetrics is the focus of the medical reform.

Within the past month, many pregnant women in Chang'an have successfully delivered babies through cesarean section, both mothers and children were safe.

Although this world's Medical School possesses special powers, childbirth for women still feels like crossing the ghost gate.

Years ago, Mother-in-law went through great pain and almost had an accident when giving birth to Jiaren and Yiren, even with renowned physicians present.

Mumu and Ning'er's mother, with a constitution inferior to Mother-in-law, was even closer to losing her life during childbirth.

Now, Jiaren and Anning no longer have to suffer this ordeal.

They only need to sleep, and when they wake up, there won't even be any scars left.

In the lakeside pavilion, two ladies of the Li Mansion and two soon-to-be ladies are playing a leaf game.

It's a kind of card game they use to pass time when they're bored.

The advantage of having the Phoenix at home is that Yiren can fully participate in all activities with Jiaren and Anning.

Li Nuo and Li Yun are sitting on the side fishing.

Li Yun was sent out by King Chun today because yesterday, the heir's wife of King Gong's heir gave birth to another son.

This morning, Li Yun accidentally dropped a grain of rice on the table while eating, and was consequently sent out of the King Mansion by King Chun.

Having nowhere else to go, he could only come to Li Nuo.

During this period, Li Yun has helped the Imperial Hospital and Sinong Si a lot, and with the birth of those agricultural and medical devices, his cultivation has been synchronizing with Li Nuo's, but currently, neither has been able to break through the barrier of the Fifth Realm.

The first appearance of the steam engine is of utmost significance, as they've gained the most benefits from it.

To achieve another surge in cultivation like the last time, they would need to bring about a new technological innovation in this world.

But with further progress, reforms become increasingly difficult, and Li Nuo, not being an engineering major, only has a superficial understanding of these matters, hence their current pace is quite slow.

In the pavilion, Anning and Yiren have started arguing over a certain issue.

Yiren wrinkled her nose and said: "Of course, Martial Artists are stronger. A Martial Saint's punch can shatter even the void, can your Legalism Saints do that?"

Anning retorted defiantly: "A Magic Saint's words turn into laws; their words are commands, can your Martial Saints do that?"

Although Yiren and Jiaren aren't very close, Jiaren's temperament is aloof, not one to quarrel with her.

Anning and her both have competitive personalities, and often bicker at home over various things.

Today, they are arguing over which school is more powerful.

Yiren habitually looked toward the Phoenix and asked: "Phoenix sister, which is more powerful, Martial Path or Legalism?"

Seeing both of them looking at her, the Phoenix helplessly shook her head and said: "I don't know, how about you wait until Anning has her baby and then have a competition?"

Li Yun, who was fishing, heard this and confidently said: "Of course, our Mohist school is the most powerful, no matter how strong the Martial Saint and Magic Saint are, they're just individuals, a Mohist Saint can command an army of a million mechanisms on their own, can other schools do that?"

Li Nuo did not express any opinions on this.

There isn't absolute strength or weakness between the schools.

There's no record of competitions among the Saints.

However, if forced to say which school is stronger, then the seemingly most unassuming Confucian definitely has the right to be discussed.

Vast True Qi protects the body, making it immune to the powers of various schools.

But at the same realm, other schools cannot be immune to Vast Qi.

Under the Righteous Qi Arrow, all are equal.

A Sixth Realm Confucian Semi-Saint is definitely someone to be feared.

Unfortunately, to cultivate to a Semi-Saint in Confucianism, it's also many times harder than other schools.

If there is to be a school stronger than Confucian, it could only be the Royal.

At the same Sixth Realm, the Royal is undoubtedly the strongest, and not just a little stronger; Confucian and Legalism must submit to Imperial Authority, and defeating their Emperor is impossible.

Yet even with individual emperors being so powerful in the Five Great Dynasties, both they and their nations are manipulated and arranged by the School of Cross and Vertical, which doesn't really make them the strongest.

In the pavilion, Yiren snorted lightly and said: "Then let's compete!"

In the Fourth Realm, neither had a decisive victory, and since reaching the Fifth Realm, they've not had the chance to compete again, she has long been itching for it.

Anning glanced at her disdainfully, saying: "Afraid of you…"

As she finished speaking, her body suddenly trembled, and she looked down.

The two midwives were not far behind them and realized what happened, immediately saying: "The Princess is about to give birth, quickly help her back to the room!"

Everyone quickly stood in haste, even Yiren, who was bickering with her earlier, had a tense look on her face.

Li Nuo promptly dropped the fishing rod and carried Anning swiftly toward the prepared birthing room.

The Phoenix held Jiaren ready to return, but noticed Jiaren's face slightly change.

Jiaren looked down, and as the Phoenix followed her gaze, her expression changed and she promptly said: "Jiaren...Jiaren is also about to give birth!"

Yiren was stunned for a moment and then decisively helped hold Jiaren by the waist, then from her leg bend, lifted her and chased after Li Nuo.

Moments later, the whole Ningxin Garden was in a frenzy...
