The soothing incense in the gilded incense burner had long since burned out, and he even added a lot of sleeping pills before going to sleep, but it was of no use.
The sound of clappers came from afar, echoing among the silent palace walls, and each sound was like a blunt knife cutting his nerves.
It felt like thousands of silver needles were churning inside the skull, and like iron hammers were hitting the temples heavily.
Veins bulged on Fu Yao's forehead, and cold sweat soaked his snow-white shirt.
He clenched his teeth tightly and breathed very lightly - because even his own panting would intensify the torture.
When his mother was pregnant with him, she was just a maid and had no one to serve her.
Therefore, everyone can attack her.
Although he was born safely, the residual poison in his mother's womb caused him to have headaches and abnormally sensitive nerves. Even the smallest noises that ordinary people could not hear could make him fall asleep.
If he hadn't slaughtered almost all of the previous emperor's princes.
It is not his turn as a "defective product" to sit on the throne.
Fu Yao thought of the name he heard today.
...Jiang Jiang?
Fu Yao's fingers trembled.
He is indeed a madman.
That was also caused by a headache.
Every time he had a headache, he wanted to kill someone. He was unwilling to target palace maids, but preferred the corrupt and powerful.
Seeing the person who used to look down upon him from above, now having his mouth gagged and being cut into pieces, the sound of his blood splattering on the ground and the muffled pain made him feel a little better.
I wonder if the noble lady sent into the palace by the Queen Mother will be as fun as them.

Fu Yao was invited to the Cining Palace.
Ever since he seized power from the Empress Dowager, he rarely came to visit the Cining Palace. Their relationship was one of mutual benefit and dislike, and Fu Yao didn't want to make things difficult for himself.
Today, his steps into the Cining Palace were lighter than usual.
Sun Jinlu who was beside him: "......"
It's over. Whenever the emperor is happy, someone will be unhappy.
The palace maids in the Cining Palace knew about His Majesty's illness, so they all bowed silently and did not dare to report it.
Therefore, when Fu Yao stepped into the palace, he heard the girl's voice.
"My cousin is busy with government affairs, so it's normal for him to come late."
Fu Yao turned the ring on his finger with a puzzled look on his face.
Sun Jinlu broke out in a cold sweat. This Miss Jiang was probably new to the palace and didn't know how serious the emperor's illness was.
The tone of her voice was not high, just the tone of a normal person's voice, but it just didn't work in front of the emperor.
However, when Sun Jinlu was silently waiting for the emperor to get angry, he saw him just pause, and then approach as if nothing had happened.
"What cousin?"
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Jiang even felt that the palace maids behind him had softened their breathing.
Even the Queen Mother, his nominal mother, lowered her voice, as if afraid of disturbing something. "It's Jiang Jiang. I just called you cousin."
Jiang Jiang swallowed.
Damn it, didn’t you tell me to scream?
"It is the minister who has overstepped his bounds."
Fu Yao saw the woman in front of him bowing with her head bowed, her voice as thin as a mosquito, and she looked terrified. Her long eyelashes trembled violently, like a butterfly with its wings wet by the rain.
Fu Yao felt that he was getting sicker.
Otherwise, why would I feel like I heard the sound of her blinking?
The strange thing was that her current appearance was the appearance of the people around him that he was always satisfied with, but in his eyes, it was far less pleasing than her lively appearance just now.
