Chapter 192 The Murderous Tyrant x The Unfavored Concubine in the Cold Palace 8
King Kangshan was already wearing a dragon robe, and kneeling below him were several ministers who had already defected.
"Your Majesty, now that the late emperor is no longer alive, I wonder how Your Majesty plans to deal with the Empress Dowager and the concubines in the harem."
King Kangshan narrowed his shrewd eyes and suddenly smiled, "Of course the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother. I am not such a heartless person."
"As for those women in the harem, I will spare their lives and let them go to the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. As for the newcomers to the harem, they will be selected from these families first."
Several ministers looked at each other and flattered King Kangshan one after another, "Your Majesty is wise, but the one in the cold palace is the daughter of a general after all, do you want her to become a nun too?"
King Kangshan was in a very good mood and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I heard that my good nephew has not yet summoned her to sleep with him, so I will reluctantly retain her position as a concubine. My dear ministers, please follow me to see my good nephew. He should be dead by now."
"Really?" A gloomy voice came from every corner, and then King Kangshan and several ministers felt a chill all over their bodies, and suddenly a ball of black smoke appeared beside King Kangshan.
Wan Chengsi's figure slowly emerged, dressed in black. He looked much more muscular and taller than before. His pair of red pupils scared several ministers so much that they almost peed their pants. They pointed in Wan Chengsi's direction speechlessly.
King Kangshan slowly turned his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of cold red eyes filled with murderous intent.
"You, you, you...are you a human or a ghost?"
Wan Chengsi curled his lips evilly and sneered, "No, it's not a human nor a ghost, it's a demon that wants to take your life."
Wan Chengsi did not make any move. He saw that King Kangshan's feet were already off the ground, his eyes were wide open with fear, and veins bulged on his forehead. It was conceivable how much pain he was in.
"How dare you set your sights on her?"
'Boom'
Wan Chengsi threw the corpse of King Kangshan in front of several ministers, and looked at the ministers who were almost fainted from fear with a cold look, "Either surrender or die."
Several ministers saw that they had a chance to save their lives, and without thinking, they said, "Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment, please spare me."
Wan Chengsi looked at the spineless ministers and suppressed his murderous intent. "I can spare you, but I think you know what to say and what not to say after you leave."
The right prime minister lowered his head and said, "King Kangshan rebelled and has now been captured by the emperor. We are willing to cooperate with the emperor."
How could Wan Chengsi, who had been a demon king for thousands of years, not know what the Right Prime Minister was thinking? He lowered his head and glanced at the Right Prime Minister calmly and said, "You'd better not have any evil thoughts, otherwise, it will be more than just death."
"Everyone, please step back and have someone dispose of the body."
Several ministers heaved a sigh of relief, then knelt on the ground, moving their knees and retreating.
Aunt Qiao lay on the dragon bed and waited and waited, but Wan Chengsi never came back. Now it was already the late night, and she couldn't resist the sleepiness and slowly fell asleep.
In fact, Wan Chengsi had returned a long time ago. He had been hiding beside Jinjin Qiao and watching her until Jinjin Qiao fell asleep. Only then did Wan Chengsi show up.
Lying on his side next to Qiao Jinjin with his forehead supported, Wan Chengsi's eyes had returned to black. Staring at Qiao Jinjin's delicate profile, Wan Chengsi couldn't help but reach out and stroke it gently.
"What's so special about you? Why can't I bear to hurt you?"
Wan Chengsi thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He sighed and said, "Forget it. In this case, I will keep you by my side."
Ci'an Temple
At this time, the Ci'an Palace was still brightly lit. The Empress Dowager sat in a chair in a daze, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have suddenly increased a lot.
"Oh, Your Majesty, good news, good news." Nanny Qing ran in hurriedly from outside.
When the Queen Mother heard Nanny Qing's excited tone, she stood up quickly and asked, "What good news? Is the Emperor okay?"
Nanny Qing stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "The guards at the door have all withdrawn. I went to inquire immediately."
"King Kangshan's rebellion failed and he has been executed by the Emperor."
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, "That's good, that's good. I knew that the prince would be fine."
Suddenly, the Queen Mother slammed the table vigorously and said, "Damn King Kangshan! I and the prince trusted him so much, but I didn't expect him to be so ambitious."
"No, I have to go see the prince, otherwise I won't be at ease."
Seeing that the Queen Mother finally regained her spirits, Nanny Qing also relaxed a lot. "Queen Mother, look at what time it is now. If you don't rest, if you get sick tomorrow, the Emperor will have to worry about your health as well as the affairs of King Kangshan's old subordinates."
The Queen Mother stopped and nodded slowly, "Madame Qing is right. I cannot cause trouble for my son."
"Go to bed first. Let all the concubines come to Ci'an Palace early tomorrow. I have something to tell you."
The next morning, when Aunt Qiao opened her eyes, the bed beside her was cold. Aunt Qiao curled her lips, not knowing whether Wan Chengsi had not come back all night or had gotten up early.
[Hey, host, Wan Chengsi is back. He stared at you all night and left at dawn.]
Aunt Qiao couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her cheek.
"Fortunately, my appearance is still there, otherwise my husband would have stared at me all night... Oh, it's scary just to think about it."
"Someone come here!"
Following Aunt Qiao's shout, a group of maids waiting outside the door swarmed in, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
Such a huge scene startled Qiao Jinjin. "Why are there so many people? Where is the emperor?"
One of the older servants smiled and took a step forward and said, "To answer the Royal Concubine, the Emperor has gone to court. Eunuch Li has instructed us to serve you well."
Aunt Qiao nodded, but still wrinkled her nose in disapproval. "There's no need for so many people to serve me. Just leave two of you to help me wash and groom myself. Also, send someone to fetch Huan'er from the cold palace."
I don't know how Huan'er is doing. I must have been worried when I didn't see her in the morning.
At this time, Wan Chengsi was sitting on the dragon throne. He was wearing a dragon robe and his aura made all the ministers standing below him dare not raise their heads, especially those ministers who had contact with King Kangshan last night. They simply wanted to hide themselves in the cracks of the ground.
These ministers left the palace at night, and dared not even sleep when they returned to their mansions. Thinking back to Wan Chengsi's red eyes, the murderous aura, and his incredible abilities, they felt that Wan Chengsi might be the incarnation of a fierce ghost. Now that King Kangshan is dead, might he kill them next?
Wan Chengsi glanced at them calmly, taking in the expressions of the ministers. "What? Now that King Kangshan has been dealt with, no one dares to speak? Huh?"
Wan Chengsi's last words released a trace of pressure, which frightened all the ministers present and made them kneel down.
