Hua Rong left the capital and headed to the border as the Regent's Consort!
Of course, it wasn't just Hua Rong who didn't care about this title.
Even Regent Shen Yue didn't care.
He's like an ascetic, not only uninterested in women, but also uninterested in men!
Whether it's a past life or this life.
Many people in this world don't necessarily need to experience love to live.
The reason for giving Hua Rong this identity can be seen as providing Yuan Yang with a final layer of protection.
Moreover, this identity allows Hua Rong to exercise more power.
Especially after Shen Yue successfully brought down Prince Ling.
After becoming the person whom no one in the entire Song Kingdom dared to disobey!
This identity will make it much easier for Hua Rong to deploy troops!
Prince Ling committed treason, and his entire household was sentenced to beheading.
The verdict was announced, and the execution was completed in the next moment.
Shen Yue walked step by step on the white stone road of the Song Dynasty's imperial palace.
Step by step, it's as if you're measuring its distance.
He had been here many times before.
But this time it felt different.
He walked step by step into the Golden Palace, and after stopping, he looked at the fat emperor sitting on the dragon throne with a blank expression.
"You've arrived."
The fat emperor's voice no longer had the foolishness it once had.
It carries a sense of composure and dignity, yet also a hint of melancholy.
Shen Yue curtsied to the fat emperor and said, "That's right, I've arrived."
The fat emperor sighed, then looked down at the dragon throne beneath him.
"I have sat on this dragon throne for a very, very long time. But I have never truly grasped the imperial power that this dragon throne represents."
"Of course, I am living very well. I have beautiful women and riches as I please. There is nothing I cannot have. I should be satisfied."
Shen Yue said calmly, "But Your Majesty, you are still not satisfied, which is why you let Prince Ling... No, the real Prince Ling was killed long ago by the Dragon Guards under Your Majesty's control. The Prince Ling in the eyes of the world has been a fake for a long time."
"That's right! I knew all along that with you here, there was no way I could hold onto imperial power! But I can make someone stand against you until you are completely overthrown!"
"Even if..." the fat emperor's voice choked with emotion, "even if there is only a sliver... a tiny, insignificant hope, I will try!"
Shen Yue remained silent for a long while before saying, "You can resist, but you shouldn't gamble with the country! Your Majesty, you've gone too far in trying to oust Jiang Chen."
Upon hearing this, the fat emperor stood up, his fat jiggling as always!
At that moment, his aura was overwhelming, and he possessed the true demeanor of a monarch.
"That's right, I'm still not reconciled! Why should I, as the Son of Heaven, be subordinate to you?! I've planned for years, and I was on the verge of success! Yet I still suffered a crushing defeat!"
"Heaven has never been fair. If I was destined to suffer such a humiliating fate, why was I made king? I've had enough of this all these years!"
Shen Yue remained silent and turned away.
Behind him lay the entire Song Kingdom, the Golden Palace, a place reserved for those who held power.
Before me stretched a clear, deep blue sky.
Last night's rain washed away the blood of everyone in the Ling Prince's mansion.
This brought a brief period of peace to the entire Song Kingdom.
"Since Your Majesty has had enough, then I cannot bear to let you suffer any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, a monk dressed in a blue robe with a handsome face appeared out of thin air.
The monk appeared to be under twenty, yet he lacked the sharpness of a man his age.
She has a peaceful demeanor that makes people want to get close to her.
“Master Kudo, I was right after all.”
If I'm not mistaken, Shen Yue was never someone he could mess with from the beginning.
But he refused!
As king, he would never compromise.
Even gods!
He doesn't either!
"Sizzle"
The sound of a neck being severed echoed in the Golden Palace.
In the end, the fat emperor showed a hint of regret and relief on his face.
He felt no fear, perhaps he had already foreseen this day.
He had already foreseen his fate when he decided to rebel against Shen Yue.
After dealing with the fat emperor, Ku Tuo turned to look at Shen Yue.
Then he put his hands together and bowed to Shen Yue!
"Master."
Shen Yue: "Mm."
Shen Yue did not look back at Ku Tuo, but walked out of the Golden Palace step by step.
As they walked, he said to Ku Tuo, "You take care of the rest. Make sure the Third Prince ascends the throne. After that, go to Da Xia and take Shouyue back to Penglai. He's already tainted by karma; this is the only way to save him."
“Yes,” Kuta replied respectfully.
Just before Shen Yue was about to walk away, Ku Tuo suddenly asked loudly, "Master, do you really want to choose her?"
Both of them knew who "she" referred to.
This time, Shen Yue turned back.
He smiled at Kuta, his face very young.
At this moment, however, it appears to possess a composure tinged with the marks of time.
He said calmly, "It wasn't me who chose her, but rather Heaven that chose her."
Kudo looked up at the sky, as if he understood something.
In the 49th year of the Kaiyuan era, Emperor Longxian, who had reigned for 49 years, passed away.
The Grand Preceptor, Master Kutuo, supported Emperor Fanliang's ascension to the throne, and the country was named Shengfeng!
Hua Rong didn't care about the matter of crossing to Beijing.
She was at the brink of war between the Song and Yan states.
"I think the right wing should go first here, and retreat immediately when the enemy attacks. Then the left wing should go first, and retreat again when the enemy attacks."
"Then the right wing will attack again, and retreat again when the enemy attacks. At this time, the vanguard will flank from the side, thus annihilating the enemy's left wing!"
