The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

"...Are you really getting too demanding?" the emperor said with an annoyed look on his face.

At this moment, Xie Yuzhen was no longer as afraid of the emperor's mood changes as she was when she first entered the palace. She dared to show her "little temper" only after she had calculated everything carefully. Not only had she given birth to a daughter, but she had also forced the emperor to take the initiative to back off several times and habitually tolerate her various behaviors, allowing the emperor to see her true nature and ambitions while continuing to indulge in his increasingly persistent so-called "love" for her.

Love is nothing but the self-satisfaction of human desires, and the emperor is undoubtedly the one with the strongest desires in the world. He sinks in this "love", no different from those monarchs in history who were obsessed with power and killed their children and relatives, and died by taking elixirs in pursuit of immortality.

Xie Yuzhen would really push him further and further on this road, deeper and deeper, until he was stuck in the quagmire with no possibility of turning back. In the sea of ​​suffering and hell, she would personally set sail for him!

"If your majesty doesn't like it, just depose me!" Xie Yuzhen picked up the round fan on the couch and slapped himself a few times. "I thought you were the only confidant in the world, but I was just being sentimental. I made a great fool of myself!"

She had laid the groundwork long before when she was "acting like a spoiled child", leaving the emperor with the impression that she would call him "you you, me, me" whenever she became emotional. After a long period of suggestion, the emperor was able to correctly understand the message that Xie Yuzhen wanted to convey to him in this most superficial performance.

This is exactly the effect that Xie Yuzhen most hopes for and is most satisfied with.

After all, what is more effective than "showing your true feelings" is to make the other person think that you have "shown your true feelings" to him.

As expected, seeing her reveal her "true feelings", the emperor couldn't help but droop: "...Why are you still angry?"

"Then think about it from my perspective. Are you angry when you encounter these things?" Although neither of them said it clearly, they both knew what the other was talking about.

The emperor felt a little headache.

The so-called system that claimed to be from the future asked him, the emperor, to complete tasks according to its requirements in exchange for rewards - was it training a dog? ! Even during the most absurd years of the previous emperor's life, he had never trained himself like this.

As for what the system said, that in the future he would have a particularly favored empress who would support the empress in disrupting the government, making cocks crow at dawn, and reversing yin and yang... The emperor only asked the system whether the people of his dynasty were living in misery and the country was in ruins because of her, and the system began to stammer and deny it.

He then asked it how many years his dynasty had been passed down after the empress. The system was stuck for a while and then seemed somewhat reluctant to give the emperor a number that was absolutely worthy of its ancestors.

Then it goes on and on about how before the empress ascended the throne, she killed her brothers and sisters in order to seize the throne. After she ascended the throne, she slaughtered members of the royal family on the pretext of the nobles oppressing the people and enclosing land to make money. She even launched a war and invaded neighboring countries with millions of cavalry just because the envoys who came to pay tribute were a little disrespectful... and the heart of a woman is the most poisonous.

As for the emperor.

He had only one reaction: My successor is a loser who was easily overthrown by his sister, but my good daughter cares about the people and creates a prosperous era for all nations to come to pay tribute, and she has also made contributions to expanding the territory? !

What a promising and thoughtful daughter!

As for the heirs who died in the fight for the throne as mentioned by the system, the emperor was indeed heartbroken, but he himself had twenty brothers and more than a dozen sisters. When it was his turn to go on stage and fight, only a few were left. And wasn't his own hands also stained with the blood of his loved ones?

He thought that since he had this opportunity and knew the future in advance, he naturally had to make some plans for his descendants. He did not want to lose a monarch who could make the dynasty prosperous, nor did he want his descendants to kill each other and cause rivers of blood. It would be best to avoid the original fate of extinction as much as possible, but if the two conflicted with each other, the emperor would decisively choose the former.

Of course, the emperor didn’t care so much about those relatives of the emperor who were slaughtered by the empress under excuses, as the system said.

They were just relatives, and among them were the descendants of two brothers with whom he had once fought. If anything unexpected happened to his branch, the future emperor would have to be chosen from the descendants of these losers.

And if a woman ascends the throne, those guys will definitely be ready to make trouble. The emperor does not believe that these guys will not have the idea of ​​treason after his daughter ascends the throne. He can endure his own bloodline killing each other for the throne, but he cannot tolerate relatives taking the throne away from his family. He immediately unilaterally defines the clan members who died tragically under his daughter's knife as traitors who committed treason, and the traitors must be killed.

After learning what his daughter would do in the future, the emperor did not become disgusted and wary of the empress as the system expected. Instead, he felt that a monarch should use cruel means to maintain his power at times like this. So what if he killed all the relatives and side branches?

Wouldn't that mean that all future generations of the Great Sheng Empire will be of their own bloodline?

Ever since he knew these future events, the emperor had prepared himself for the fact that his daughter's mother was not a virtuous woman in the traditional sense. However, he never expected that this evil queen, who was recorded in later generations as vicious and tyrannical, would actually be such a tough, lovely, bright and beautiful woman like the morning sun.

She looked pitiful when she was fished out of the water, but she did not arouse sympathy. Instead, she exuded a resolute ruthlessness that made people afraid to approach her, yet eager to get close to her.

The emperor attributed his uncontrollable heartbeat at that moment to fate.

Fate destined them to have this marriage, and it was God who gave them this unprecedented love.

He firmly believed in this and looked forward to seeing how many sweet surprises this woman would bring him.

"......" Facing Xie Yuzhen's angry questioning, the emperor sighed silently, "I should be angry, but didn't you scare me once?"

He actually talked back... Xie Yuzhen shook his fan, knowing that the emperor had indeed realized that he had deliberately designed that dream. However, there was nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of, as they both had been scheming against each other, and it was just a matter of seeing who would overpower whom.

"How can this be the same?" Xie Yuzhen tilted his head to look at the emperor, then simply stood up, "You are the emperor, and what am I? I am a weak woman who almost died at the hands of that evil villain and had no choice but to learn how to scheme!"

"Did I plan this?!"

"Don't I just want to live a peaceful and stable life? I have to... have to do something dangerous that is despised by the world..." Xie Yuzhen's voice was cold. She didn't cry, but the expression on her face became calmer.

But the emperor panicked.

Before he could speak, Xie Yuzhen glared at him and said, "I was determined to die, and I was determined to entrust the rest of my life to you. At that time, you already knew who I was, but I didn't know you were the emperor. If I had known you were the emperor, I would rather drown in that river than give my family and children peace!"

In fact, Xie Yuzhen thought he was lucky that he could hook up with the emperor by going over the wall. But this was the critical moment to suppress the emperor's beliefs. How could he tell the truth and ask him to continue looking down on him as a savior?

"The gate of the imperial palace is too high. A commoner girl like me can't reach it!" Xie Yuzhen didn't say a word of grievance, but she seemed to feel unfair everywhere.

She threw down her fan, took off the jewelry on her hair and threw it at the emperor's feet, then turned around and rushed out the door crying.
