I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 235 Heaven and Earth Contract

Cang Lingyuan smiled as he looked at her serious expression. This little cousin was smarter than he had thought: "You say it, no matter what you say, I will pardon you."

As long as you don't want the throne, everything else is negotiable; he doesn't necessarily need to sit on the throne.

However, this was his mother's dying wish, which was said to be given by Master Fakong. He believed that he must be the emperor, as only in this way could the world be at peace and the various countries could keep each other in check.

He didn't want the world to face that scene of widespread suffering again.

Dongfang Jin smiled, a genuine smile: "That's good. I'll make a vow to you, and it's not just empty talk, it's truly effective."

Seeing her say that, Cang Lingyuan also became serious: "Go on, tell me."

A vow?

Is her vow, as Abbot Jingkong claims, subject to the laws of heaven and earth?

Is it...

While feeling excited, I also felt a sense of eager anticipation.

Seeing his expression, Dongfang Jin also dropped her nonchalant attitude and became serious: "All I want is a guarantee, peace of mind, and the ability to sleep soundly."

Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; she doesn't want to arouse your suspicion. She's the kind of person who speaks without thinking, and if she goes too far in her actions or words, she might lose her head.

Cang Lingyuan narrowed his eyes, remained silent, and gestured for her to continue.

Dongfang Jin stood up straight, her back ramrod straight, her hands placed in front of her, and her eyes closed.

At this moment, her delicate face appeared even more stunning. She was merging with Ruyi's soul. Once Ruyi had finished speaking, Dongfang Jin had also finished speaking.

But she still didn't open her eyes. She simply stretched out her right hand and slowly raised it above her head, her cherry lips parting slightly: "Heaven above, earth below, I, Dongfang Jin, swear by my soul."

Whether it's my descendants, or my husband Gu Chenglin, or even Gu Chenglin's descendants.

Anyone who betrays Cang Lingyuan and his descendants, or who harms this continent, will be struck by lightning and have their soul and body annihilated.

Unbeknownst to Dongfang Jin, the moment she raised her hand and spoke, a faint golden light enveloped her.

The moment she called out Cang Lingyuan's name, a layer of golden light rose around Cang Lingyuan.

Although it was lighter than the one on Dongfang Jin, it was still clearly visible to the naked eye, and everyone could see it clearly.

Empress Helian Jingyun covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes wide open, and her body involuntarily rose and slowly knelt down in front of them, watching this shocking scene.

Is this... this oath governed by the laws of heaven and earth?

So, what Abbot Jingkong said is all true?

She...she can be with His Majesty for life?

She no longer had to worry about the trivial matters of the harem.

That's wonderful! That's wonderful!

Long Er and the shadow guards in the shadows were equally shocked by this scene, and they couldn't even breathe.

They all watched the surrounding movements with great tension and vigilance.

Thankfully, all of the henchmen of the Duke of Wu's mansion have been arrested, otherwise there would have been chaos.

As soon as Dongfang Jin finished speaking, two beams of white light fell from the sky, landing between Cang Lingyuan and Dongfang Jin's eyebrows and disappearing.

Everyone present, except Dongfang Jin, saw it, including Cang Lingyuan, who unconsciously touched the spot between his eyebrows.

There was nothing there, and he experienced no discomfort whatsoever.

Empress Helian Jingyun looked at Cang Lingyuan with a worried expression. She didn't speak, but her anxious eyes betrayed her.

Cang Lingyuan shook his head at her and smiled.

His smile made the Empress smile too. It's good that everything is alright, it's good that everything is alright!

Seeing that the Lord and the Empress were shaking their heads, Long Yi felt relieved, realizing that they were alright.

But Dongfang Jin still had her eyes closed, and his heart jumped again.

Ruyi shouted that the agreement was reached, and Dongfang Jin opened her eyes and met Cang Lingyuan's gaze.

After the white light entered his brow, Cang Lingyuan heard a voice speak the moment Dongfang Jin lowered his hand.

"Contract complete!"

As soon as those two words were uttered, something like an imperial edict unfolded in Cang Lingyuan's mind, displaying Dongfang Jin's words verbatim.

Dongfang Jin?

Okay, it doesn't matter if your surname is Cang or Dongfang, it's all the same.

Shocking! Utterly shocking! Could this be the heavenly secret that Abbot Jingkong spoke of?

With this opportunity, his neighboring country in the east will gradually move towards a golden age!

Several other countries are also about to become vassal states of his eastern neighbor, bowing down to him!

it is good!it is good!it is good!

A scroll also appeared in Dongfang Jin's mind, containing the same words she had just spoken, written in a calm tone: "Is this your purpose?"

Yes, every word she just said was dictated by Ruyi.

Is it a covenant between heaven and earth?

It really exists! This spirit of the realm has really gone to great lengths!

【Yes and no. 】

Hearing its weak and listless words, Dongfang Jin's lips twitched. It seemed that this time, it had indeed hurt it.

I don't know why it's so eager to grow up. It's so cute when it's small, why does it want to establish a covenant with the laws of heaven and earth? How could it even think of that?

They swore an oath with Cang Lingyuan, but what about his offspring?

He can guarantee he'll be a good emperor and won't do anything to them, but what about his sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons?

Ruyi was feeling dizzy. Hearing Dongfang Jin's thoughts, her heart ached. She closed her eyes and spoke, "Cang Lingyuan has no children now. Once the contract is signed, his children will also be bound by this contract."

His descendants, whoever becomes emperor, will treat their people well; this agreement will last for nine generations.

Ninth generation?

Ha ha!

She couldn't wait any longer.

Since she can't see it, she's not bothered by it.

[You're really something! Are you alright?]

It's alright. Only in this way can the fortune of this world truly improve.

Dongfang Jin: "..."

It turned out to be waiting for her here.

He's holding his breath pretty well.

It seems that the person they are looking for is Ruyi, or more precisely, her, and has absolutely nothing to do with Gu Chenglin.

[Is it true that only he is your husband, and only with him by your side will he not covet that other position?]

Dongfang Jin was surprised. "You're saying Gu Chenglin is going to rebel?"

Ruyi sighed. This person is really good at thinking. [It's not that he wants to rebel, but that someone wants to use the person with the purple plum blossom birthmark to rebel.]

This person is a chosen one, but he is not destined to be an emperor and can only serve as a subject.

He can only assist; with his assistance, the emperor will not easily... easily change his mind.

Is Gu Chenglin still a key figure?

"You could say he's the thread that connects us..." Ruyi trailed off.

Dongfang Jin then noticed that its voice was getting softer and softer, and hurriedly closed her eyes to take a look at it.

It lay on the sofa with its face almost transparent, its chest rising and falling, and a pile of bottles on the coffee table next to it.

She knew this guy was exhausted; just looking at the pile of water bottles told her that the Five Elements Spring was also beneficial to him.

Thankfully, nothing else went wrong. That guy was really something else.

I silently prayed that it would get better soon. Although it's annoying, it has many adorable aspects.

She had gotten used to its presence, and seeing it so exhausted made her feel a little bad.

Looking at Dongfang Jin's constantly changing expression, Cang Lingyuan worried that she might be feeling unwell and asked with concern, "Little Jin, are you feeling unwell?"

Dongfang Jin looked up at the Emperor and Empress, who were looking at her with concern, and waved her hand: "No, as long as I don't do the things I swore to do, I will never be in any trouble."

Thinking to myself, "Now you can rest assured, I can finally sleep soundly."

She no longer has to worry about making a mess with her mouth; she can say whatever she wants.

It's mainly because of her unrestrained habits, and also because in ancient times, with imperial power, there were too many rules and regulations.

There are too many instances of her saying things that lead to trouble, making it impossible for her to guard against them.
