Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: Scheming for Benefits (First Update)_1 Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: Scheming for Benefits (First Update)_1 Regarding Yang Wenxiao’s affectionate gestures toward Qiao Xiaomai, Yao Xian wouldn’t have dared to release even the slightest fart in the past.

Before, Yao Xian would delightedly consume whatever Yang Wenxiao bestowed upon Qiao Xiaomai.

But now things were different. She was about to suffer symptoms like ants crawling painfully inside her bones and excruciating headaches, and her life wasn’t even expected to last a few more years. With no life left, her past fears naturally vanished.

“Why didn’t Father Emperor speak sooner? If he had spoken earlier, why would we have endured such suffering?” Yao Xian collapsed on the ground, wailing bitterly.

She felt no blood-is-thicker-than-water kinship toward Yang Wenxiao. Emperor Yongan might empathize with Yang Wenxiao’s old age, not blaming or hating, but she couldn’t do the same.

Having been the Empress for decades, she hadn’t had enough!

She even wanted to become the Empress Dowager!

Now, because of Yang Wenxiao’s momentary cowardice, she couldn’t even remain an Empress for long, let alone become the Empress Dowager.

“Father Emperor really is getting on in years. The boldness he had when he seized the empire is gone. In these years, although you are the emperor, you still need to report everything to Father Emperor. Your Majesty, your reign as emperor is only in name!”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongan immediately glared at her, “Shut up! What do you, a mere woman, understand? Father Emperor is considering the bigger picture. Who knew there would be such a malicious drug as ‘hell’s flower’ in this world? Say one more word, and you can forget about wearing the Empress’s crown!”

Hearing this, Yao Xian trembled with caution, covering her face with both hands and sobbing, “Your Majesty, what should we do? What do you say we should do?”

Emperor Yongan, annoyed by her crying, answered, “Endure it, until a descendant of Liuli appears.”

Yao Xian immediately pressed on. “Are we now relying on some improbable descendant? Is that even useful? Does this descendant exist?”

“Even if she exists, does she have the ‘rice’? Can she really save us?”

Her barrage of questions gave Emperor Yongan a headache. “I don’t know. Stop bothering me here. Go back to your Yuexian Palace.”

Yao Xian naturally didn’t want to go back.

At such a time, if she stayed alone, she would surely go mad.

What should she do?

She didn’t have many good days left. The craving from the poison would soon take hold, and she didn’t have many years to live. What should she do before she died?

Thinking about this question suddenly energized Yao Xian.

Her chaotic, fearful heart steadied.

She stopped thinking about such empty titles as Empress or Empress Dowager for the moment and focused on more practical and useful things.

She straightened up, crawled on her knees to Emperor Yongan, and clutching the corner of his robe, she pleaded through tears, “Your Majesty, since there aren’t many happy days left, could you fulfill a few wishes of your concubine?”

“What wishes?” Emperor Yongan asked with impatience.

“I never dared to mention it before, but now that things have come to this, I will not hide my thoughts anymore. I hope you can promote the members of the Yao Family,” said Yao Xian.

The Yao Family could only be considered a mid-level aristocratic family. Though she had been the Empress for years, she hadn’t secured any significant advantage for the Yao Family.

Over the decades, the hierarchy of the aristocratic families remained largely unchanged. The great families remained great, and the Yao Family was still a mid-level one.

A woman, no matter what the times, always relies on her family.

Since she couldn’t earn benefits for the Yao Family while alive, perhaps now she could, right?

Emperor Yongan didn’t expect her to even think of such things at this time and felt an urge to kick her away. “Is this really what’s on your mind?”

With red and swollen eyes, Yao Xian sobbed, “If Haohao and Yeye survive this calamity and are safe, at least there’s something comforting in my heart. A woman, aside from her husband, cares most about her children and her family.”

“I can’t help with the poison in your body, and I don’t need to worry about the children. The only thing I can think about now is my family.”

“Go away, go!” Having listened to her clear and logical explanation, Emperor Yongan grew even more irritated.
