I am Xuanyuan Mo. My father passed away when I was very young.
My mother was born a concubine's daughter. She was not favored in the family or in the palace. She suffered a lot to protect me when I was young.
What impressed me most was that the dog raised by the imperial concubine went crazy for no reason and pounced on me to bite me. In order to protect me, my mother stood in front of it with her bare hands. Her hands were almost bitten off and she was bitten several times on her body. She almost died.
This cast a deep shadow on my young heart, so much so that I still remember the scene even after I grew up.
Fortunately, after all the hardships, there was a happy ending. My brother, who was 8 years older than me, secretly sewed a dragon robe when my father was seriously ill, but was disliked by my father. I became the emperor at the age of 5.
At that time, I knew nothing and relied on Fang Yunheng, who was seven years older than me, for everything. I didn't know why he knew so much despite his young age. Thanks to his unremitting efforts, the court was stable and the world was peaceful.
Fang Yunheng was not shy about sharing his knowledge. He taught me everything he knew, including how to employ people and how to strike a balance...
At first I was very grateful to him, until one day I heard someone say: The people only know about the regent, but not the emperor.
From then on, I changed my mindset.
Whenever Fang Yunheng taught me again, I thought he was showing off how much he knew, especially when I learned that his mother, Liu, was the woman my father loved but could not have, my hatred for him reached its peak.
When my father was alive, he never even held me in his arms, but he often brought Fang Yunheng with him to teach him. He rarely set foot in my mother's palace, but he often went to the prince's palace to see Liu. I hate them for taking away our love and now they have taken away my halo as the emperor.
I believed that he had ulterior motives and was plotting rebellion, so I used what I learned from him to plot against him.
He saw through it at a glance because it was so clumsy. I still remember his complicated look at that time, a little sad, but also a little relieved.
Sure enough, after I became an adult, he only gave me half the power.
Half of the people in the court are Fang Yunheng's supporters. Fang Yunheng is a mountain standing in front of me. No one can see me when he is around. It seems that I will always be shorter than him and cannot compare to him.
I vowed to get rid of him and let the world feel my light.
That day, I met Wen Qinning when I left the palace. She fell in love with me at first sight in the crowd and asked me to be her husband.
Apart from my mother, she was the first one to firmly choose me. I was deeply touched and thought that this was love.
She is very energetic, straightforward and frank. She will say whatever she wants and never keeps it in her heart. Apart from being willful occasionally, I feel very relaxed with her.
But she was drunk and teased Fang Yunheng, and repeated to him what she had said to me. I was very angry. She was wavering and not as determined to choose me as I thought.
Because Fang Yunheng did it on purpose, Wen Qinning discovered my identity. She asked me why I concealed it and why I didn't tell her that I already had another woman.
But she didn't ask. Aren't all men like this? What's more, I am the emperor.
Besides, the women in my harem are just decorations.
I am cautious and suspicious. Although they are loyal to me on the surface, they may be Fang Yunheng's pawns behind the scenes. If Fang Yunheng's people give birth to a prince, my throne will be in danger.
So let’s do it later. I’m still young, and I’ll talk about the issue of offspring after Fang Yunheng has resolved it.
Wen Qinning told me that she wanted to be with me forever. When I thought about it carefully, I realized I could do it, so I ordered Wen Qinning to enter the palace.
But she played a trick on me.
On my wedding night, I almost drowned in bed. What I discovered after waking up was like a blow to the head. I wanted to kill the fake one, but in the end I couldn't bear to do it.
Through the investigation of the secret guards, I learned that she was in Hualing and had a fiancé named Jiang Luochuan, who was now looking for her all over the streets. I asked the secret guards to create the illusion that Hualing was dead, but Jiang Luochuan was very persistent and wanted to see her alive or dead.
I simply let the secret guard go with him, and he gave up after a long time.
Hua Ling is delicate and soft, with a gentle and well-behaved personality. It is a pleasure to be with her, and I feel very comfortable inside and out. She can also give me advice and even win the favor of my mother. I am a little reluctant to let her go.
But the idea of taking Wen Qinning back from Fang Yunheng still prevailed.
Perhaps it’s not just because of Wen Qinning, but also because of the game with Fang Yunheng.
I will take back everything Fang Yunheng took away, whether it is power or women.
I want to prove that I am no worse than him.
Exchanging Hua Ling and Wen Qinning was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. I always regret it when I think about it.
I was prepared to be questioned by Fang Yunheng, but nothing happened. He happily accepted Hua Ling without any hesitation.
I felt very uncomfortable when I heard the secret guard say that he asked for water several times every night.
Looking at Fang Yunheng's eyes which were exactly the same dark blue as mine before, I knew that the secret guard had not lied to me. I deliberately avoided thinking about Hua Ling, thinking that I could forget her this way.
Wen Qinning was thinking about Fang Yunheng all the time. I was angry and a little fed up with her endless quarreling and throwing things. Finally one day she stopped throwing things, but she lost her appetite.
She said she wanted to go to Lingshan with me to offer sacrifices to the heavens, and I agreed. Let’s go, because I also wanted to see Fang Yunheng’s reaction.
I hid in the dark and watched them talk. Fang Yunheng's expression was very calm, as if he was facing a stranger.
He said this would be good for everyone, but Wen Qinning refused to give up.
Fang Yunheng said that she was two-timing, wanting both, and was greedy and shameless.
These words were very serious, and it was obvious that Fang Yunheng really didn't like Wen Qinning anymore.
I was hit by the "falling whirlpool". If Fang Yunheng didn't attack me, it would be fine. But once he attacked me, he wanted to kill me. I swore to take revenge and let him taste the pain of "falling whirlpool".
The secret guard said Hua Ling was pregnant, and according to the date, she got pregnant when she was with me. I was so happy that I told Wen Qinning to let her leave the palace.
But Wen Qinning didn't want to leave.
Hasn't she always been looking forward to leaving the palace and living with one person forever? Why is she unhappy now that I promised her?
She said she loved me, and I felt nothing inside. Maybe I really let her go.
I have been investigating the Killer Alliance and I am increasingly convinced that the person who hired the killer is Wen Qinning, so I am secretly monitoring him.
Sure enough, I caught her talking with the Minister of Revenue.
I never knew she could be so cruel. She almost harmed Hua Ling and my heir.
I was very angry and dismissed the Minister of Revenue from his position.
I have evidence of his corruption and bribery. As the saying goes, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish. I had not intended to settle accounts with him so early, but this time he touched my sore spot.
Wen Qinning was demoted to a commoner, and there was no more Concubine Ning in the harem.
After returning from the Heavenly Sacrifice, I sent people to secretly look for the miracle doctor, and at the same time wanted to bring Hua Ling back into the palace. However, before I could negotiate with Fang Yunheng, Hua Ling disappeared.
The secret guard I placed next to Hua Ling is also missing.
The first thing that came to my mind was that he was exposed. The price of betrayal by the secret guard was very painful. He could neither live nor die. The poisonous insects hidden in his body would eat his internal organs bite by bite, and then bite his heart.
No one could endure such pain, and I don't believe he would.
