The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Similar words were once said to him by the main god who was trapped in the emperor's body.

But unlike his tough attitude when facing the Lord God, Lu Yesheng was silent for a moment, and then he said with a look of melancholy and relief: "Under fear, there is compromise, but compromise cannot eliminate fear, but it will form a fog that even I can't see clearly... Now, I can see the other side of the maze."

He didn't say anything else, but stood up straight and sat down in the main seat in the hall.

Almost all of the followers of the Hongyang Sect were killed, but the "Hongyang Sect Leader" himself was successfully captured. He couldn't believe that he would be defeated so easily. Before his mouth was blocked, he was still cursing the emperor for being vicious and Xie Yu for being a lunatic.

The emperor scolded Xie Yuzhen for all the reform measures he had taken after he came to power, saying that they were nothing but the crazy fantasies of a woman with lofty ambitions. The emperor wanted to go crazy and asked her to accompany him. Of course, these words did not hurt Xie Yuzhen at all. Instead, the female officials who benefited the most from her could not stand it and were particularly rough when tying up the "Red Yang Leader", just to save his life and make him suffer as much as possible.

"The Queen has done so many things for us, but in the mouth of this evildoer, it is all attributed to the word 'madness'. It is really unclear what he means. We must not let him have an easy time!" A young female official whispered to her colleague and found an angle that others could not see clearly, and kicked the "Red Yang Sect Leader".

It didn't take long.

The bodies of the cult followers were collected one after another, leaving only a few survivors on the ground, who were tied up with ropes from the neck to the ankles.

Xie Yuzhen walked to the emperor's side and stood still: "Your Majesty, don't force yourself. I'm here."

"What's wrong with holding on? I don't like lying in one place waiting," said the emperor.

When he saw Xie Yuzhen coming over, he threw away his sword, patted the empty seat on the chair, and motioned for her to sit down: "Xianming, tell me, how should I deal with Jin Xiang, the rebellious son who dared to rebel and tried to assassinate his father?"

"In my opinion, those who plot treason should be sentenced to death, but the Prince of Jinxiang is your Majesty's own son after all, so it is reasonable for your Majesty to show mercy."

"Ahem." The emperor covered his mouth and coughed twice before saying, "He was the first to plot treason. He wanted to sever the father-son relationship with me. However, I miss this blood relationship after all, so I will grant his wish and sever the father-son relationship first, and then discuss his treason."

The voice he spoke was not as powerful as usual. Instead, it had a kind of erratic and cold tone like that of a vengeful ghost. It was like a spent bow, but the string was still strong. Although there was not much power left, it was still capable of taking lives.

Xie Weizhen knew that it was because the emperor had consumed too much energy in the fight with the Lord God for the body, and also because... the medicine was slowly taking effect.

"Your Majesty is wise." Xie Yuzhen responded without any emotion.

The emperor suddenly thought of something and laughed happily: "If you were a virtuous queen, Xianming should have advised me at this moment. I am always glad that I, a madman, can finally find someone like you as my wife, instead of enduring helplessness and compromising my own feelings."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the monarch of Great Sheng. If you don't want to be wronged, nothing can wrong you."

"Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you are still the Son of Heaven on earth; even if you are a monarch, you are only the monarch of this dynasty. A monarch should put the people first. I have experienced the hardships of the previous emperor's reign. It was not easy to get this country. How can I not manage it well?"

"I share the glory and disgrace with the world. The glory of history is already before my eyes. There is nothing to feel humiliated about. I am not wronged, but I am indeed... a little scared."

He is the emperor.

The emperor with great power.

Power comes not only from the title of "Son of Heaven", but also from the respect of the subjects of the prosperous dynasty.

The emperor has always been very clear about what he should do and how to do it in this position. It's not that he has never compromised with others, but his character and ability are destined to not let him give in too much and appear aggrieved. Even if he can't stab on the spot, he will retaliate severely after a while. While benefiting the people of the world, he has never forgotten to consolidate the power in his hands again and again.

Until finally a monster was born, sitting at the highest point of power.

When this monster was looking down on the world, a force that he could not control suddenly arrived.

The arrival of the Ten Thousand Worlds System gave the emperor a long-lost sense of crisis for the first time.

He tried every possible means to stand in the position of a mortal and refuse to be controlled or used by this inhuman thing, and tried to use the remnants of the Ten Thousand Worlds System at all costs, but he did not expect that this would create an ambitious Concubine Deng...

The disaster brought about by the out-of-control system creation forced the emperor to endure and lie dormant. While he was thankful that this inhuman creature had disappeared, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation for Xie Yuzhen, who was regarded as an enemy by this thing.

However, he knew it the moment the woman appeared before him.

Just like he was powerless in the face of the system, he was also powerless against this woman who was said to have a destiny.

Powerlessness brings fear.

And beneath fear comes compromise.

The crisis dug a hole in his heart, and he tried to fill it with an almost crazy love, to confuse the powerless self.

Does your lover want the lives of those nobles and old scholars who jump up and down all day long?

Then kill him! He is just a toy placed in front of the emperor to relax! He has no achievements in his family or country, and being able to make her smile is his greatest use!

My lover wants to take part in government affairs and recruit capable women as officials?

Then give her all the support you can give! In the annals of history, the names of the wise emperor and empress will surely be recorded in the books of history!

My lover... wants their daughter to inherit the throne. To this end, she has already started planning and paved the way for herself to the underworld...

Then die.

As a monarch, he died under the will of heaven. He was in power during his lifetime, the world was at peace, and he had a beloved wife and daughter by his side. He had no regrets. After his death, he would leave his name in the history books. He would have his own page in the glory of the prosperous dynasty. How many emperors who were powerless could not ask for this?

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Jinxiang has arrived."

Li Zong interrupted the emperor's meditation.

He and Xie Yuzhen looked at each other calmly, then looked at the trembling Prince of Jinxiang who was brought forward, and cleared his itchy throat: "Lu Jingcheng, do you know this man?"

When Prince Jinxiang was arrested, he found that the people sent to kill the Sixth Prince had not returned. He was about to find out what happened, but he ran into the ferocious Yulin Guards. He panicked and tried to disobey the order and escape, but the followers around him were no match for the Yulin Guards and were all killed, and he himself was dragged here like a pig.
