"Hiss... Isn't it... a bit too harsh?"

Zhao Yi's expression management failed instantly after hearing Linglong's report, and his jaw almost hit the floor in shock.

Zhao Yi previously thought the most vicious and disgusting way to deal with the male lead was to have Taotie bear his child.

Zhao Yi thought that was already the height of evil, utterly malicious, but Linglong went even further, cranking up the intensity right from the start.

Zhao Yi imagined the scene.

Yao Su's body, Su Qianqian's soul.

One is the male lead's biological mother, the other is a resentful woman desperately pursuing the male lead.

Su Qianqian's soul, Yao Su's face, then emotionally expressing overflowing feelings to the male lead.

Holy crap!

Zhao Yi clicked his tongue twice in his mind.

The image was too striking.

Just thinking about it made Zhao Yi feel despair on behalf of the male lead!

Looking at Linglong, Zhao Yi hesitated, "Isn't it... not quite appropriate to do this?"

Zhao Yi felt he had some kind of bottom line.

Not much, admittedly, but it was there.

If Su Qianqian really succeeded, it would be quite the spectacle.

For others, Zhao Yi might not worry this much.

But Su Qianqian is a very cunning woman.

She would really try to force herself on the male lead.

Linglong heard this and said seriously, "Your Highness, I'm doing this to cure illness and save people. Aunt Su's divine soul is shattered by tribulation thunder, and she will soon die and pass away."

"Although Su Qianqian has many faults, after all, she was once the Crown Prince Consort. It would not be appropriate to allow her to possess a beast. If this were to be made public, it would really harm the majesty of the Great Xia royal family!"

"Moreover, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If Aunt Su knew that she could save someone, she would certainly agree."

As if she would agree!

If Yao Su knew Linglong was setting up the male lead like this, she'd haunt her even as a ghost.

Zhao Yi pursed his lips in his heart, but outwardly he seemed quite moved.

"Although Su Qianqian doesn't quite deserve her position, a life is a life, as you said."

After saying this, Zhao Yi sighed and waved his hand, "Forget it, do as you say!"

Linglong's face was full of admiration, "Your Highness is benevolent, touching the heavens and earth, witnessed by the sun and moon, and I am in awe!"

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrow and laughed, "I have no major flaws, just a soft heart! Ah, they say benevolent people can't command troops, I wonder if I can be a good emperor of Great Xia in the future."

Linglong stated firmly, "Your Highness's benevolence is witnessed by heaven and earth, known by all people! If I may be bold, there is no word more fitting than 'benevolent' for your posthumous title!"

"My posthumous title is 'Benevolent'?" Zhao Yi's eyes lit up.

'Benevolent' is a very good posthumous title, conveying the meaning of kindness, benevolence, and understanding.

The emperor of Great Xia was troubled by a blood curse, facing ominous ends in later years, so their posthumous titles were generally not good.

If Zhao Yi could secure the title 'Benevolent,' it'd be very prestigious when meeting past emperors in the Underworld.

Zhao Yi looked at Linglong, growing more satisfied.

As expected of the female lead of destiny in the original work, she truly has an Exquisite Heart, scratching where it itches.

Zhao Yi nodded approvingly, "'Benevolent' is good, I like that title. Prime Minister Linglong, remember this word well, ensure the historians don't write it wrong!"

Prime Minister?

Linglong's eyes lit up, and she quickly knelt down and bowed.

She asserted, "Rest assured, Your Highness, your benevolence and kindness are witnessed by heaven and earth. I will remember 'Benevolent' firmly, and won't allow any mistakes! If anyone dares to slander, I won't tolerate it!"

Zhao Yi laughed heartily, "Good, Prime Minister, you've got the heart."

After saying this, Zhao Yi gestured to the sides, and Huang Ying, seeing this, ordered the imperial carriage to set off.

Zhao Yi sat on the throne, saying to Linglong, "I'll leave Xiaoxiao to you. After finishing matters here, come find me at Little Leiyin Temple!"

Little Leiyin Temple?

Linglong was momentarily puzzled.

Although she didn't know what Zhao Yi was up to at Little Leiyin Temple at this time, she respectfully agreed.

"I shall obey!"

After Zhao Yi left, a small creature suddenly appeared from nowhere.

She glanced toward the direction of the imperial carriage and, seeing Zhao Yi wasn't paying attention, breathed a sigh of relief.

Linglong saw this and asked with a smile, "Xiaoxiao girl, what are you up to?"

The small creature rolled her eyes and waved her hand, "Nothing."

Linglong didn't expose her for secretly letting the male lead go, and said with a smile, "If you have nothing to do, come with me. His Highness just entrusted you to me to help with something."

The small creature was startled to hear this, "Did the master see me just now? He didn't say anything about me, did he?"

Linglong had a good impression of the small creature, and seeing her guilty appearance, couldn't help teasing her, "His Highness said you're getting bolder, daring to disobey him. If you do it again, he'll send you and your friends back to the mountains."

Upon hearing this, the small creature's face turned pale instantly.

She waved her hand repeatedly, panicking, "I won't dare anymore, I won't dare again! Yao Jing saved my life once; I was just returning the favor this time and won't help him again!"

Linglong smiled at her words but remained noncommittal, "We'll see how you behave in the future. If you dare defy His Highness again, I won't be able to save you."

The small creature nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I'll behave well from now on."

Linglong nodded slightly, seeing the message was clear, she beckoned, "Let's go, it's time to take care of business."

The small creature quickly followed.

On the way, she curiously asked, "Where are we going?"
