A goddess appeared in my dream to give me instruction?
Helian Jue didn't believe a single word!
He has ridden in hot air balloons and ascended to altitudes of hundreds of meters.
I reached out and touched those clouds, and in mythology, those clouds were inhabited by gods.
But there wasn't one at all!
It was a wisp of air; your palm could pass right through it.
Helian Jue also had a small porcelain bottle, the sound of which was like thunder from the heavens.
...To be honest, as someone who had personally created a miracle, Helian Jue didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all.
goddess?
It does not exist.
This woman from the Dugu family must have obtained some secret information through certain channels.
It seems Dugu Xiong has quite the ambition.
They actually dared to "spy on the emperor's whereabouts".
Helian Jue is not the deposed crown prince of yesteryear, and he needs to rely on Dugu Xiong's Northwest Army to provide him with weapons, warhorses, and other supplies.
He is the emperor!
Emperors are inherently suspicious.
Helian Jue trusted Xie Yuan implicitly because Xie Yuan had won Helian Jue's heart with his life and years of dedication.
Dugu Xiong?
Well, he has led troops in the Northwest for many years, so he probably already considers the Northwest Army as his own private property!
Suddenly, Helian Jue began to understand why the late emperor was so eager to reclaim military power.
The army, which the imperial court was funding and supporting, was turned into someone's private army because of the selfishness of the general in charge.
The emperor has become the biggest sucker in the world!
It seems that in the coming period, he will also need to systematically consolidate his military power.
Dugu Zhi never expected that her attempt to impress Helian Jue would not only fail to win his favor but also cause him to doubt her father and even her family.
"So it was a goddess who entered my dream!"
Helian Jue lowered his eyelids, concealing all his emotions.
He rested his chin on his hand, exuding a languid yet noble air, and his stunning good looks made him appear as beautiful as a painting.
"What a handsome young man, as exquisitely sculpted as crystal, with such a noble air, like a banished immortal!"
"People only know that Helian Jue is arrogant and domineering, but they overlook his handsome appearance, which is comparable to that of Pan An and Wei Jie."
As someone who has lived two lives, married and had children, Dugu Zhi is naturally not as shy and timid as an unmarried young lady.
She was very familiar with matters between men and women.
Perhaps it was the confidence that her rebirth gave her, or perhaps it was the fact that Helian Jue in front of her was too handsome, that made her forget to restrain herself for a moment.
Ignoring all restraint and etiquette, she stared directly at the emperor's face, even revealing an expression of admiration and infatuation.
Helian Jue clenched his fist at his side, a ruthless glint flashing in his beautiful peach blossom eyes—
This ugly woman, how dare she?
Do you want to die?!
How dare you look at me with such disgusting eyes!
It's ugly enough, but it's also incredibly stupid!
Helian Chen was speechless. Come on, he knew the women of the Dugu family were fierce, but they couldn't be this fierce.
In front of the holy entourage, one must not raise one's head without the saint's permission.
Dugu Zhi, on the other hand, dared to look directly at the Emperor's face, and even... and with that kind of... that kind of gaze—
Although our sage has tempered his temper in recent years, he is not a good-natured person at heart.
Back then, when the noble ladies of the capital were attracted by the emperor's divine appearance and came to flirt with him, the emperor used his sharp tongue to scold several of them until they cried.
There were also bold and unafraid young women who tried to continue harassing him, so the sage directly sent people to take action.
Showing no mercy whatsoever, and completely disregarding the fact that the other party was the daughter of a powerful family, or her own cousin!
A sage is never one to show mercy to women.
All his tenderness was reserved for the Empress.
In fact, even the Empress herself experienced the Emperor's cold face and sharp tongue back then.
In this world, as long as it's not lust at first sight, there is no such thing as love without a reason.
The word "lust" is something that sages most abhor.
For a long time, the emperor loathed this face, which he inherited from Empress Xiao.
Unfortunately, the first thing those girls noticed about him was his appearance.
Well, sometimes even some audacious young men have—
There's no way around it; extreme beauty makes one androgynous and appealing to both men and women.
Helian Jue never gave these fools who dared to harbor evil thoughts towards him a kind look.
However, just as Helian Chen was worried that his emperor would turn on him on the spot, Helian Jue actually laughed.
Seeing Helian Jue's stunning smile, Dugu Zhi's face turned even redder.
Helian Chen began to tremble: It's over! It's over! The Emperor was utterly enraged.
"Helian Chen!"
Helian Jue uttered three words softly.
thump!
Helian Chen knelt down on the ground, and the sound of his knees hitting the ground was extremely loud, and it looked very painful.
Helian Chen didn't even frown, and said with utmost respect, "Your subject is here!"
Helian Jue maintained his slight smile and said calmly, "Didn't you hear what this young lady said?"
"Follow the location she provided, look for it and take a look!"
"This young lady from the Dugu family has received guidance from a goddess in a dream."
Helian Jue's words sounded like he believed Dugu Zhi and highly praised this "goddess believer".
Helian Chen's heart trembled as he listened.
Waaah, the saint is really angry.
Poor Dugu Zhi, no, the entire Dugu clan, they're probably going to be severely punished by the Sage!
Helian Chen silently lit a row of candles for Dugu Xiong's family in his heart.
