When their eyes met, his narrow phoenix eyes slightly lifted, revealing a radiant smile.
"Has the princess finally woken up?"
Nanzhi looked at herself kneeling on the ground, feeling the soreness in her knees, and only then did she realize her current situation.
The original owner was the most beloved little princess of the Qi Kingdom.
Above them was the powerful and influential Prime Minister, Lu Huai.
His description can be summed up in just four words: "treacherous minister and wicked official."
Everyone was saying that the emperor relied heavily on Lu Huai, trusted him immensely, and let him handle everything, big or small, and even let him review memorials together.
He killed many loyal ministers and generals, and he also formed cliques for personal gain. The number of people he killed was at least thousands, if not tens of thousands.
But the emperor seemed oblivious.
Every day, a constant stream of gifts and countless beauties were sent into the Prime Minister's residence.
He even gave his most beloved little princess to Lu Huai to show his trust and affection for her.
Only the original owner knew how much the emperor hated Lu Huai.
Lu Huai was groomed by the emperor to consolidate the imperial power he had stolen from the previous dynasty. However, he ended up raising a tiger that would turn out to be a menace. Lu Huai was too clever and became his biggest threat.
The emperor was always afraid that Lu Huai would rebel, so he bestowed the original owner of the body upon Lu Huai. On the surface, it was a reward, but in reality, he wanted to use the trust that the original owner had gained in Lu Huai to find Lu Huai's shortcomings and evidence of his mistakes so that he could bring him down.
The original owner had no choice but to agree because the emperor had imprisoned her mother and threatened her with her life.
However, the original owner was no match for Lu Huai and died not long after arriving. Instead, Lu Huai had someone impersonate her and send false messages to the emperor. In the end, the country changed hands, and Lu Huai became the new emperor.
If Lu Huai's previous actions were all aimed at overthrowing the original owner's father and becoming emperor himself, it would be understandable.
But after becoming emperor, he went mad, causing immense suffering to the people of Qi before committing suicide.
As her thoughts returned, Nan Zhi's gaze refocused, fixed on the terrifying man before her.
Lu Huai said gently, "Speak, what did the Emperor send you here for?"
Nan Zhi clutched the hem of her clothes, her voice trembling as she spoke, "I... I seduced you."
