After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

After the New Year, all kinds of manifestos suddenly spread across Dazhao.

They all said that the emperor was stupid and disorderly.

No emperor in history could have been away from the court for so long and stayed away for no reason.

The soldiers need financial support to feed their horses, and staying in a town for a long time will cause trouble to the local people. This trouble is not limited to the oppressive feeling of the emperor's personal presence, but also because there are too many people in the army and it is difficult to restrain the behavior of each individual.

But no matter how urgent the situation was, Xie Tan could not go back to Yunjing at this time. When his subordinates found the silk handkerchief with Song Nihuan's handwriting, he could not go back to Yunjing when he could not find her.

He had to find her.

Many mornings, Xie Tan had hallucinations. The person beside him was still there. He quietly stared at her sleeping face - her snow-white and delicate face was as exquisite as a painting, with a hint of innocence that had not yet woken up. There was a little blush on her cheeks, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She sleeps so relaxed.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face was cold and dark, and he looked like he was going crazy.

Xie Tan's Adam's apple rolled heavily a few times, and then he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the illusion was gone, and his heart seemed to be hollowed out.

He stood up, pushed aside the rice paper with her name written all over it on the table, and called out, "Come here, draft the edict."

On the rice paper that fell to the ground, the handwriting was neat at first, showing the writer's caution. But as time went on, each stroke became more and more sharp and chaotic, accumulating anger and bone-eating longing, and in the end it was like some kind of spell, imprisoning the increasingly crazy writer.

Just one look at it and you'll be overwhelmed by the thirsty and burning emotions.

The emperor's cold voice was faintly filled with suppressed madness. "Today at noon, tell everyone in Jinghu Port that if the queen is not handed over within three days, I will order a massacre in the city."

The eunuch looked at the emperor on the throne in horror and could hardly believe his ears.

There are 100,000 people in Jinghu Port. Maybe there are evil people who commit crimes, rich people who oppress the people, and vicious pirates, but most of them are innocent people!

It was not wartime at this time, and the emperor's order to massacre the city in search of one person would definitely arouse public anger!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please think twice..." the eunuch advised.

How could Xie Tan not know the consequences of doing this, how could he not know that doing this might be futile, but ever since Song Nihuan disappeared, his nerves were like spider silk, gradually tightening, stretching, and swelling with the passing of each day.

The handwriting on the handkerchief was hers, he would not make a mistake.

She is either in Mirror Lake Harbor or nearby.

He didn't know how he could ever see her again. He couldn't bear it any longer. He had reached his limit and could only go crazy and self-destructively.

If so, maybe I can meet her?

The emperor, with disheveled silver hair and red eyes, threw the written edict to the ground without a care in the world and said in a very calm voice, "Go and pass on the edict."

The handkerchief that Song Nihuan left behind half a month ago was at Jinghu Port.

This seaside city-state, which should have been full of spring, was now in a state of panic and anxiety. Everyone was in danger. Those who were capable packed up their gold and silver jewelry and prepared to leave the city with their families, but they were stopped by the emperor's guards.

The whole city is wrapped like an iron barrel, with people only able to enter but not exit.

A woman was helped down from the carriage and said to the guard at the gate, "I am pregnant. I just hope I can keep the baby alive for one more day! In one day, that dog emperor will massacre the city..."

The guard's silver armor moved, the knife at his waist was unsheathed, staring at the woman, "Do you know what crime you have committed for being disrespectful to His Majesty?"

The woman was startled and knelt down quickly, "...What did I do wrong? I don't mean to be disrespectful to Your Majesty, I just want to live..."

Emperor Ming Chong's reputation spread far and wide, and even in Jinghu Port, which was on the coastline border of Dazhao, people had heard of the emperor's deeds.

Putting aside the question of whether his accession to the throne was legitimate or not, the series of benevolent policies he implemented after ascending the throne are worthy of praise. They are benevolent policies that truly benefit the people.

But now, why is there a sudden massacre in the city?!

The woman twisted her handkerchief, pointed at her husband and sighed, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have married you! If I hadn't married you, I wouldn't have come to Mirror Lake Harbor!"

The guard turned his eyes away and put his knife back into its sheath, but his sturdy body remained motionless and he tightly sealed the city gate.

At dawn, the heavy city gate opened.

This was the first time someone came in from outside since the emperor issued the edict.

The guard at the gate rubbed his eyes and looked over. He saw a tall and slim woman coming in from the city gate. When he got closer, he found that her belly was bulging.

It was less than two hours before the emperor massacred the city. How could anyone dare to enter the city at this time? And a pregnant woman!

The woman had fair skin, her face half covered, and a pair of eyes like black mountains and white waters, making people very sober.

The guard suddenly felt compassion and stepped forward to stop her. Then he said to the brothers guarding the door outside, "Who told you to let her in?"

"Your Majesty has ordered that you are only allowed to enter and not to leave." The guard outside the door shouted.

The troops led by Xie Tan were all from the Northern Border, warriors who were determined to follow him till death. Even if he gave the order to massacre the city, they were only stunned for a moment before carrying it out without hesitation.

The military system reforms in recent years have been quite effective, completely avoiding the previous dilemma of difficulty in issuing and transmitting orders.

The city guards shouted, "Let her out! Don't you know what time it is?"

There are still two hours before the city is massacred. Wouldn't it be a death wish to come in now?!

Then he whispered to Song Nihuan: "Get out quickly, you may have come to the wrong place, go out and find out where this is!"

"Is it Mirror Lake Port?" she asked, blinking.

The guard was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Song Nihuan's heart began to beat violently. Finally! Finally back to Jinghu Port!

That day, she left the silk handkerchief here, and after asking around, she learned that Xie Tan had followed the traces left by Mo Fang all the way from Kunlun to this area.

She knew that she had to do her best to see him.

She missed him so much.

As an emperor, could he stay outside for so long?

He's probably going crazy.

After Xie Yunji took her away from Jinghu Port, she pretended to be unwell and had to go ashore to recuperate, then she got off the Fu ship and went to another town along the coast.

Perhaps it was God's mercy that Xie Yunji was invited by the local Cao Gang to attend a conference. Only then did she know that he was also involved with those gangsters who used violence to disrupt law and order.

How could such a bright and noble young man...

She suddenly remembered his skills when she jumped into the sea that day.

Xie Yunji couldn't bear to let her go to that place, so he kept her in the inn.

Seeing her chance, she escaped through the inn window.

Xie Tan is the emperor, and it is not difficult to find out news about the emperor. Moreover, he did not hide his tracks. He almost used all means to let her know where he was. Along the way, everyone knew that the emperor was going to massacre the city!

Everyone was terrified, fearing that they would be affected. Even those who were not residents of Jinghu Port fled to the Central Plains with their families.

Only she walked towards Mirror Lake Harbor without hesitation.

She really missed Xie Tan so much that she wished she could hug him and bite him hard. She also wanted him to touch her belly and tell him that she and he were having a child.
