Chapter 18, I Can't Stand It Anymore
Pei Yiqiu frowned as he looked at Wang Jingchun, feeling somewhat displeased.
They should have been of the same blood and family.
The Holy Emperor stepped down from the dragon throne and took Wang Jingchun's soft little hand in his.
"Come!"
Lu Cheng chuckled softly, "From this day forward, you are the Imperial Concubine!"
"You old servant, draft the imperial edict!"
"Lady Wang is of noble character, skilled and gentle; she is hereby granted the title of Consort Shu!"
Wang Jingchun's pretty face flushed slightly.
She looked down at her hand being held and softly hummed in agreement.
Pei Yiqiu's face also turned red!
It's red with anger!
Seeing Lu Cheng's actions, she had already guessed what he meant.
She was clearly the more outstanding one; she had long heard that Wang was a sickly woman who was being kept on a leash.
She's supposed to be the legitimate daughter of the Wang family? She doesn't have much status in the Wang family at all.
Is this someone deliberately trying to annoy them?
Is he trying to get his attention with such a low-class trick?
Sure enough, I had long heard that the emperor was a foolish and lecherous man, and seeing him today, I can confirm that the rumors are true.
Pei Yiqiu took a deep breath, thinking of his family's mission and the future, and suppressed his anger, saying in a hushed voice, "Your Majesty, what about me?"
"What?"
Lu Cheng turned around and asked curiously.
He's made it so obvious, don't you understand?
It's obvious there's no share for you!
"Your Majesty's intention to cooperate with my aristocratic family seems rather unethical, doesn't it?"
Lu Cheng was slightly taken aback and looked at Pei Yiqiu with surprise.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Pei Yiqiu tilted his head back, looked down at the Emperor, and snorted softly, "If Your Majesty truly wishes to cooperate with my family, not only must I be made Empress, but all the palace's finances and expenditures will also be under my control!"
"Not only that, Your Majesty must also give me the imperial estates outside the city as compensation!"
"Your Majesty must dismiss her!"
Pei Yiqiu pointed at Wang Jingchun.
She felt she had to make this scoundrel emperor realize the consequences of deliberately neglecting her.
Now that she has entered the palace, the first thing she must do is establish her authority and let others know the methods of the Pei family woman.
"Pooh!"
The next second, the Holy Emperor spat on the ground without any regard for his image, his face full of disgust.
"you……"
Pei Yiqiu was furious.
The Holy Emperor decisively took out his golden mace.
He couldn't take it anymore!
call out!
Pei Yiqiu's eyes widened, his face filled with terror, as if he had been scared out of his wits.
A whooshing sound rang out, followed by a loud bang, and Pei Yiqiu's head instantly exploded.
This action also terrified the two people following behind Pei Yiqiu, turning their faces pale.
"ah!!"
The two screamed in agony.
"you……"
The old maid who followed Pei Yiqiu was terrified and stammered, "You actually dared to kill Miss..."
"you……"
Lu Cheng waved his hand and shouted, "Drag him away!"
"Drag it away!"
The Holy Emperor cannot tolerate the slightest ugliness or filth in people.
The eunuchs around quickly dragged the old maid away, slapping her a few times to shut her up, while the other eunuchs skillfully began cleaning the floor.
Even a second's delay would be disrespectful to the Holy Emperor.
Lu Cheng smiled and picked up Consort Shu, striding towards the inner palace.
Wang Jingchun trembled slightly, burying his head in the emperor's chest, feeling the intense heat, his face flushing slightly.
The fear that had just begun to arise dissipated somewhat as a result.
"Come, let me show you how to relax!"
The Holy Emperor planned to quell the anger caused by these foolish noble families, and then find a few more noble families to smash their heads.
……
The Holy Emperor has once again killed a noblewoman!
The news quickly spread throughout the capital at the Emperor's deliberate instruction.
At the same time, there was also an imperial edict conferring the title of Consort Shu upon Wang Jingchun!
"what!"
"Ah!"
Pei Zhixing was going crazy, smashing teacups on the table.
"A tyrannical ruler!"
"A tyrannical ruler!"
Enraged, Pei Zhixing cursed the emperor.
He wasn't angry that the emperor killed Pei Yiqiu; she was just a woman, utterly insignificant.
What truly angered him was that the emperor had bestowed the title of Consort Shu upon Lady Wang.
How could Pei Shi save face like this?
Ah!
Could it be that the Pei family's daughter is not as beautiful as the Wang family's daughter? How is he supposed to get along in aristocratic circles?
Wang Chengye held his teacup, sipping his tea with his head down, a smile occasionally appearing on his lips, which he barely managed to suppress.
Pei Zhixing glanced up at him and scoffed, "Laugh if you want to!"
Wang Chengye coughed lightly and shook his head, saying, "It seems that His Majesty does not want to cooperate with us."
"What do we do now?"
Pei Zhixing looked at Wang Chengye, who was smiling, and snorted coldly again: "Your Wang family doesn't have any other plans, does it?"
"Brother Wang is the Crown Prince's tutor."
Wang Chengye quickly wiped the smile from his lips and solemnly shook his head, saying, "Absolutely not!"
"This dog emperor's actions are clearly a deliberate attempt to sow discord among us!"
"That's right!"
"It's about sowing discord!"
Wang Chengye solemnly said, "Brother Zhixing, please don't fall for this scoundrel emperor's tricks."
Pei Zhixing suppressed his emotions and said, "Contact the Prince of Liang!"
"This tyrannical ruler disregards human life, is greedy and lustful, and is certainly not a wise ruler."
"King Liang is favored by Heaven and has the support of the people; he is rightfully destined to inherit the throne and uphold the nation!"
As a family with a thousand-year-old tradition, they have always been very tactful in their dealings with others.
Wang Chengye nodded, indicating his approval of Pei Zhixing's suggestion.
"That's exactly right!"
"In the name of the Wang family, I call upon all officials to jointly submit a petition to the tyrannical emperor, requesting him to issue an edict of self-reproach!"
Although the emperor bestowed the title of Consort Shu upon Lady Wang, he clearly did not believe that the emperor could withstand the army of the King of Liang.
After seeing off the Wang and Lu families, Pei Zhixing beckoned to someone and said through gritted teeth, "Find another person and send him to the palace!"
He didn't believe that the Pei family's daughter was really inferior to the Wang family's daughter!
Of course, he did this to mislead the dog emperor!
……
A hundred miles away from the capital, Liang King Lu Chan, clad in silver armor, stood atop a high platform, gazing towards the capital, a secret urgent report clutched tightly in his hand, a cold smile playing on his lips.
The adjutant beside him strode forward, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice, "Your Highness, an urgent report from the capital: the Emperor is implementing harsh policies, forcibly levying taxes on officials, and massacring aristocratic families. Resentment is widespread throughout the court and the country, and many noble families harbor rebellious intentions!"
"They are willing to jointly recommend the prince to ascend the throne!"
The deputy general standing behind him immediately gave a wink to the guards around him.
The guards understood immediately and draped a dragon robe over the Liang King.
"Please, Your Highness, ascend the throne!"
"Please, Your Highness, ascend the throne!"
The soldiers in the camp knelt on the ground and shouted slogans.
"you……"
The King of Liang looked down at his robes, sighed helplessly, and said in a dismissive tone, "You have all caused me so much suffering!"
"How...how can I possibly shoulder such a heavy responsibility!"
Lu Chan slowly raised his hand, his gaze sharp as an eagle, sweeping over the 50,000 Northwest cavalrymen who were fully prepared for battle. His voice was steady: "Issue my order: the three armies shall break camp and march into the capital!"
"To purge the court of corrupt officials, eliminate treacherous ministers, and secure the nation!"
With thunderous hooves and banners obscuring the sun, an invincible cavalry force galloped toward the capital.
