Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 322
“Thus, at the time, the Duke was in such a state of panic and had to suspect everyone, so he couldn’t even ask Tarium for help. However, now that so much time has passed and it has become difficult to leave Emperor Hyacinth in this condition any longer—and seeing that Tarium shows no particular signs of trouble—we would like to request Grand Minister Jaisin’s presence to treat His Majesty Hyacinth.”
The Carissen envoy’s stance had completely changed after just a few months.
Hearing the envoy’s elaborate explanation, the Tarium ministers’ expressions grew complicated.
The officials exchanged meaningful glances with one another.
Although La Til had already suspected as much, she deliberately feigned surprise and kept her eyes fixed on the envoy.
“Oh dear. So that’s Duke Daga’s story.”
Then, as if sympathizing, she spoke—and Sarnet immediately whispered to her in a very low voice,
“That’s overly theatrical.”
La Til ignored his remark, but the Carissen delegation, watching La Til and Sarnet, grew tense.
To them, the Emperor’s quiet exchange with her closest confidant looked exactly like: “What do you think? Does it sound genuine?” “Seems suspicious—they must be scheming something.”
In truth, even from Carissen’s perspective, had Tarium’s envoys suddenly shown up acting just like them, they too would have found it suspicious.
Though they were the ones making the request, they themselves were puzzled by Duke Daga’s sudden shift in attitude toward Tarium.
Thus, the Carissen envoys’ hearts pounded needlessly, fearing the Tarium Emperor might mock or insult their proposal.
But surprisingly, La Til responded kindly.
“Emperor Hyacinth once studied here as an exchange student and was once as close as a friend to me. Naturally, I must help a friend who is unwell. I shall send the Grand Minister.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.

After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
