"Yes, it's all her own fault."
Li Shengyuan's gaze was deep as he coldly stared into the distance. "I treated her with all my heart, yet she betrayed me!"
"Let's not talk about those painful memories."
Posomeng smiled faintly, "What I find particularly interesting is your new concubine who was in the palace today."
"Does the Emperor still not forget his sister? He actually found a concubine who looks so much like her."
"It's just a coincidence," Li Shengyuan said coldly, knowing full well that she was referring to Mi Shan.
"The reason I chose her is not because she resembles anyone else, such as Consort Mi Hui. She has her own unique qualities."
"Judging from the Emperor's tone, he seems to value that concubine quite a bit."
Posomeng smiled faintly, "However, you can fool others, but you can't fool yourself."
Looking at that face, how could you not think of your sister?
Li Shengyuan's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Stop talking, Jialuolou is already dead!"
I have given an order that no one may ever mention this name again.
Although you are located in the far western region, you have now arrived at the royal palace of Da Yue, so you should abide by the rules of Da Yue!
"Dare to disobey again, and don't blame me for issuing an imperial decree to punish you."
"You should know how your sister died, and you even watched her die with your own eyes. So you should also understand my methods."
Posomeng's expression changed, her face beneath the veil darkening, before she finally managed a smile.
"I understand."
Li Shengyuan turned and left.
Posuo Meng watched his retreating figure disappear into the distance.
This night is destined to be anything but peaceful.
Jade Hibiscus Palace.
Mi Shan stood quietly by the window, gazing at the lake reflecting the moonlight. The lotus flowers were still in bloom, swaying gracefully in the wind.
"Your Majesty, that's all there is to the matter concerning Prince Qi and his wife. I have told you everything I know."
"His Majesty actually cut off Prince Qi's head, brought it back to Da Yue, and even defiled his wife..."
A hint of reluctance flashed across Mi Shan's eyes, and an indescribable tremor rose in her heart.
At that moment, she seemed to be able to feel the overwhelming hatred hidden deep within Xie Ling's bones.
No wonder he always mentions killing the dog emperor.
No wonder he, as the crown prince, didn't care about the position at all.
They even went to great lengths to get Li Shengyuan removed from office as soon as possible.
It turned out that it was all because his family members had been brutally murdered by Li Shengyuan.
With such deep-seated hatred, how could he possibly abandon his former self, forget everything, and start anew?
Even if he lives a life of ignominy under such a identity, it is only for the sake of revenge, to bide his time and endure hardship!
"Your Highness, why are you suddenly interested in this old secret today? I only found out about it secretly, so please don't tell anyone. This is something that most people don't know."
After Xiaomingzi finished speaking, Xun'er clicked her tongue in amazement.
"Your Majesty, aren't you scared after hearing this? Xun'er is too scared to sleep at night. I never imagined that our Emperor could be so terrifying."
Just thinking about how the Empress would have to serve the Emperor in bed in the future...
Xun'er was utterly horrified.
"What's this compared to the emperor tearing a person in half, merely cutting off their head and defiling them..."
"Xiao Mingzi, stop talking! You're just trying to scare me and the Empress!"
Mi Shan remained silent, listening to their conversation, but showed no intention of speaking.
His face grew increasingly pale.
After a moment, he waved his hand and told them to leave.
Xun'er and Xiaomingzi exchanged a glance.
They didn't know why Mi Shan would react so strongly to the matter of the King and Queen of Qi.
I thought she was probably just tired.
"Then we'll go down. Your Highness is injured and has difficulty walking, so please be careful when you move around. If you need anything, just call out. Xun'er will be waiting at the door."
Mi Shan nodded.
They then left.
Mi Shan limped back to bed, her feelings incredibly complicated.
After learning more about Xie Ling,
She felt even more lost about herself.
Especially before I fall asleep, I feel uneasy.
I'm both afraid of dreaming about that mountain covered in red maple leaves, and afraid of not dreaming about it at all.
That's enough.
Instead of wasting time thinking about pointless things.
Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about it.
Tomorrow is the crucial polo match that will determine whether Xie Ling can obtain military power.
Li Shengyuan chose the outskirts of the city as the location.
Spring is in full bloom, with lush green grass and wildflowers blooming along the roadside.
The large open space was filled with rows of soldiers.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Li Shengyuan made his entrance riding a massive lion, his imposing presence inspiring awe and admiration in all who beheld him.
His princes rode behind him in a line.
The empress and her concubines sat in sedan chairs.
The Fifth Princess was also there.
Only the Empress was absent. In the past, she would never have missed such an occasion, and might even have ridden a horse at full gallop.
But now, as the sister of a disgraced official, she not only dislikes going out, but the emperor also almost never allows her to appear in public, making her practically a discarded concubine.
Empress Ru did not tell him about her pregnancy, intending to wait until the time was right.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived, and the site has been inspected and cleared."
Upon hearing this, Li Shengyuan nodded in satisfaction.
Pick up a gunpowder barrel,
ignite.
Flames shot into the sky, crackling and popping.
It was incredibly lively.
"start!"
"The teams are divided into two, black and white. The team with the most goals will be awarded military power!"
The emperor gave the order.
The two groups behind them immediately rushed out like arrows released from a bow.
