Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds

As time passed, surprisingly, the emperor's favor for Princess Luoyang seemed to have no end and grew stronger and stronger.

The Grand Secretary who had drafted several edicts in succession, whose writing was concise and emotional, and thus won the emperor's favor, had the most say.

He was promoted to the emperor's side to be in charge of drafting imperial edicts. Sometimes an imperial edict would be issued within a single day, all of which were to improve the treatment of Princess Luoyang, or to reward her with a mansion, pearls and jade.

In less than half a month, Princess Luoyang had already accumulated various privileges, including being able to meet the emperor without bowing, carrying a sword into the palace, and using the prince's etiquette when traveling.

At the same time, the fiefdom of Luoyang originally had only 10,000 households, but after repeated additions, the number had increased to 50,000 households.

What is even more shocking is that the emperor gave Princess Luoyang the power to mobilize the garrison troops in the capital at any time, although it was only one of the four guards.

But how can one allow others to snore beside his bed? The actions of the current emperor directly declare that his love for his daughter exceeds that for himself.

Everyone was wondering what His Majesty was going to do.

If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. Everyone loves their children, but spoiling them too much is not a good thing for the royal family.

How could the emperor not feel uncomfortable when he saw Princess Luoyang after he succeeded to the throne?

Think about it, you are not your dad’s favorite child, and you are not even as good as Luoyang in terms of the mud on your trouser legs. Who can stand it?

The problem is that the emperor is sane. A few days ago, he even forced the second prince's wife's family to kneel down and sing the song of conquest.

That would be a delicate situation.

Someone privately said to a friend, "If there is a crown prince in the world, who can say there can't be a crown princess?"

This remark awakened the dreamer, and all the officials and dignitaries in the capital thought they had figured out the emperor's situation.

Your Majesty is crazy because Empress Zhangde has gone mad, and as soon as Princess Luoyang appears, you can't wait to give her all the good things.

Isn’t the supreme imperial power the best gift!

The rumor of establishing a princess as the crown princess became popular for a while, especially since the emperor never made any statement to clarify it, which made it more credible.

The princes were dealt a heavy blow. Just as the crown prince was gone, here came the Princess of Luoyang. It seemed that they were not worthy to compete for the throne.

Are they really willing to kneel down at Princess Luoyang's feet?

Of course not!

But what can you do if you are not in a good position?

The emperor was cold-blooded and ruthless, and he hated most anyone who coveted his power. None of the princes had any support in the court, so how could they have the courage to rebel against their king and father?

………………

Late at night, in the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor sat behind a desk. The lights in the hall were dim, making the figures blurry.

Suddenly, a figure in a black cloak appeared at the door of the palace, calmly stepped over the threshold and came before the emperor.

“I thought you wouldn’t come.”

The emperor turned his head and saw a young and beautiful face.

Every inch of the woman's skin and every facial feature were extremely similar to the person in the dream, except for the arrogance and coldness in her expression, which were completely different.

Ling Xiao took off his black cloak, calmly sat on the chair opposite, and said calmly:

"Father has already roasted me in the flames. If I don't even have the courage to come and see you, wouldn't I be too useless?"

The emperor said with some sarcasm and surprise, "You still call me father?"

"Why not?" Ling Xiao was not afraid at all, and met the emperor's sharp gaze directly, without any cowardice:

"It was you who personally acknowledged my identity as the daughter of Empress Zhangde. Everyone in the world knows that Princess Luoyang is the jewel in the crown of the emperor."

The emperor sneered, "It's almost the same as a fake pearl."

Ling Xiao didn't take it seriously, instead he smiled and said:

"You love Queen Zhangde deeply, and the more you love her, the more guilty you feel. This guilt torments you day and night.

So when a girl who claimed to be the queen's daughter - and who looked exactly like her - appeared, His Majesty acknowledged her identity without even checking.

Wasn't this fish eye presented to the world by His Majesty himself, and pointed out as a rare gem?"

Ling Xiao found the emperor funny.

Since she arrived in Beijing, she found that the emperor acknowledged that she was the queen's daughter without asking any questions - he didn't even summon Governor Zhao into the palace.

What is there to not understand? From the beginning to the end, the emperor seemed to be grasping at a straw to save him, and was unwilling and afraid to break the fantasy that he and Empress Zhangde had a surviving child!

As for the Second Prince and Concubine Yan, they ended up like this because they crossed the emperor's bottom line.

Ling Xiao even suspected that the Emperor had evidence that Concubine Yan had once harmed the Queen.

A crack appeared on the emperor's calm face, and he was filled with shock and pain.

His lips moved, his emotions fluctuating, as if he had thousands of words to say.

Finally just ask:

"Who is the person behind you? Which son of mine is it that took so much effort to find you who looks exactly like the queen? You have such a clever mind, using the identity of the queen's daughter to overthrow the second prince."

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

It turned out that the emperor thought she was a spy controlled by someone.

But on second thought, someone who could turn against the Second Prince and his men silently makes people suspect that she has someone helping her behind the scenes.

The emperor looked at Ling Xiao in confusion and laughed, thinking that this woman must have taken some poison when she came here with the intention of dying, which was why she was so crazy.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. This body is indeed the daughter of you and Queen Zhangde."

Ling Xiao had laughed enough and said calmly.

"What did you say!" The emperor stood up suddenly in shock, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

"Empress Zhangde was framed for having an affair and was banished back to her mother's home. Your Majesty was truly cruel and heartbreaking. At that time, no one in the Empress' family was left alive."

Ling Xiao chuckled and stabbed the emperor, then continued:

"The Queen gave birth to a daughter prematurely, and was terrified that His Majesty still regarded her as the product of an affair. In addition, the court had many concubines, so she was heartbroken and sent her daughter to be raised by a family surnamed Zhao."

After hearing these words, the emperor was so panicked that he staggered and fell onto the table, knocking over the candle.

"What evidence do you have? I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

I don’t know whether he didn’t believe that Ling Xiao was his daughter, or he didn’t believe that Queen Zhang De had been so scared and so...hated him.

Ling Xiao admired his sad and uneasy expression, supported his face with one hand, and sneered:

"Why don't you believe it? Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. I have made it clear. You will know the truth after checking."

The emperor's expression froze, then he raised his head and carefully looked at Ling Xiao's face. He turned his head away for a while so that no one would notice the tears in the corners of his eyes.

"I will make amends to Yue Er in the underworld"

"I'm afraid we need to add one more person," Ling Xiao said faintly, "your daughter Miaoying has already gone to the underworld to accompany the queen."

"Miaoying, aren't you alive and well?" The emperor was puzzled.

Ling Xiao burst out laughing, "I said this body belongs to the daughter of His Majesty and the Queen, I didn't say I am..."

As she spoke, she stood up and gently stretched out her hand. The nails on her slender fingers were trimmed and rounded, slowly growing longer under the light, and becoming as sharp as a knife.

"This body fell dead on the side of the mountain road. In order to avoid the calamity, I reached an agreement with her. I avenged her father and she borrowed my body to avoid the calamity."

The emperor listened to these words in disbelief and witnessed the strange scene, his heart trembling with fear. He felt both the grief of his daughter's early death and the fear of a mortal encountering a ghost.

After a long while, he asked:

"So, are you leaving now?"

Ling Xiao nodded. The world line had been changed beyond recognition. Her mission could be said to have been completed perfectly. Of course, she had to find a reason to run away.

It was only yesterday that I revealed everything. It turns out that this world where taskers are extremely bound is one that the Lord God has no control over at all.

At most, a channel was opened to send people like Ling Xiao in to open up the wasteland, change the world line, and give the main god the opportunity to send more taskers in until this world was in his hands.

As for why Ling Xiao instinctively did not do anything big in this world, it was because of his intuition.

TMD, without the main god to back you up, if the world consciousness catches a flea that jumps happily from outside, you will be killed by a bolt of lightning.
