"Holding the jade!"
The emperor's voice was low and angry. His face, which was smiling just a second ago, was now completely cold, and he looked intimidating without even being angry.
The majestic voice echoed in the hall, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Who knows what tricks the dog emperor will play next?
He had previously taken his anger out on the eunuchs around him, causing a large number of casualties in the palace.
Everyone knelt down quickly and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
No one dared to look up at the emperor.
Apart from Sun Chanyu who was sitting next to him, there was only Li Xianyu who was standing stubbornly in front of the hall.
Li Xianyu stood straight, his eyes fearless, looking directly at the emperor sitting on the high throne.
"Your Majesty, are you forcing me? Didn't Your Majesty promise me that I could freely decide on my marriage? Now, are you actually going to give up your most beloved daughter for the sake of a marriage alliance?"
Her voice was loud, but it trembled a little.
Zhang You knelt on the ground and secretly raised his head to look at her.
The emperor had only two sons: the crown prince and Li Guanghan, and one daughter: Li Xianyu. The crown prince was married and stood in the center of the hall. Li Xianyu, Li Guanghan, and Qiao Si stood at the lower level to the emperor's left.
Therefore, when Zhang You raised his head, he could easily see Li Xianyu's profile.
Very angry.
It's also very sad.
Even if she is as noble as a princess, even if she has been loved since childhood, she is still as small as dust in the face of the ever-changing interests and the unpredictable heart of the emperor.
She couldn't influence the emperor's thoughts.
It's just futile, just some angry words.
There was a look of forbearance in Li Xianyu's eyes, but more of unwillingness.
Li Xianyu's biological mother died early.
No one really knew the origin and identity of her biological mother. All they knew was that she gave birth to a princess in the second year after she entered the palace, and she died in childbirth.
Now in the palace, no one remembers what she looks like.
All those who knew the truth were buried in darkness with her death.
After Li Xianyu was born, the emperor doted on her immensely, and he would execute any palace maid who made the slightest mistake. It was also under his influence that Li Xianyu developed her current habit of wantonly killing others.
A long time ago, there was a rumor in the capital that the emperor loved Li Xianyu's biological mother so much that he ordered the execution of all those who caused her death in childbirth.
There is an even more outrageous rumor that goes like this: The reason why the emperor has no other daughters is because he only wants the children born by that concubine. If the other concubines give birth to girls, they will be secretly killed. This is also the reason why the emperor has only this one daughter.
However, because the rumor was so outrageous, almost no one believed it.
If it is true as the rumor says, then if the concubine gave birth to a prince, wouldn't the emperor have to kill all his sons and only keep that one?
Therefore, even if this rumor spread in the capital, no one believed it.
But Li Xianyu knew that this was true.
Being born into a royal family is her honor and also her sorrow.
No one will ever know how disgusting her life story is.
Even she herself was disgusted enough to hurt her own body several times, but she could not escape from this body that had their blood flowing in it.
But the cruel truth was revealed in person and bloodily by her father, the emperor who doted on her in front of outsiders.
Many years ago.
It was so long ago that the emperor at this time was just an unpopular prince, and that was not long after the old emperor ascended the throne.
Beautiful women were presented to the old emperor by all parties, and as a result he had many children.
But since some time ago, the emperor's children have become weak and sickly, and most of them died young.
The old emperor investigated the matter and finally found out that it was a princess from a small country who was behind it. She poisoned the baby for the sake of her own son.
The old emperor executed her and her son.
But in this case, his only heir is the current emperor.
So, he naturally became the new crown prince.
The first thing he did after gaining power was to send his father to hell.
This incident was said by the Emperor and Li Xianyu when they were crazy.
No one in the palace knew this secret anymore.
Even the ministers in the court thought that the old emperor had died of old age.
The reason why he poisoned the old emperor was actually very simple.
Because he fell in love with someone he shouldn't have, and was discovered by the old emperor.
At that time, he was just an ordinary prince, without power or influence. His biological mother died early and entrusted her young sister to his care.
When the old emperor discovered the incident, he severely punished him, which nearly cost him his life. It was from then on that he began to think about killing the old emperor and taking the throne himself.
And the person he likes is his sister who is from the same mother.
She is also Li Xianyu's mother.
The old emperor thought it was a family disgrace at the time and did not dare to make it public. After severely teaching his rebellious son a lesson, he sent his daughter, who had gone a little crazy after being abused by his son, to a temple.
Several years had passed by the time the emperor had been lying in wait, killed the old emperor and succeeded to the throne.
But he still didn't give up his dirty thoughts.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one knew about his sister's affairs, he switched her with another and let her enter the palace as a concubine, becoming one of his thousands of concubines.
He also thought about marrying her as queen, but the reason he failed was because he still wanted to rely on the power of the aristocratic family.
He loves, but not that much.
At that time, a concubine in the palace spread a rumor that the emperor looked like her. The next day, the person who spread the rumor disappeared from the palace.
There were also concubines who were jealous and plotted to frame her. Without exception, those people were brutally executed by the emperor.
The emperor perversely imprisoned her, married her against her will, and then killed all those with "ulterior motives" thinking he was being kind to her.
After years in the temple, she, who had just regained consciousness, fell into a nightmare again.
Until she got pregnant...
The emperor was ecstatic and declared that any child she gave birth to would only be his and he would love the child utmost.
He ignored her wishes and forced her to keep the child.
She was also in a state of being unable to live or die, and was becoming increasingly insane.
During that period, everyone in the palace avoided her, fearing that they would irritate her and lose their own lives.
On the day she gave birth, she miraculously woke up.
After giving birth to the child, she sat quietly on the couch, holding the child lovingly, and gently asked the wet nurse and maid to go out, leaving her alone with the child.
Everyone thought that she had come to terms with it and would live a good life after having a child.
But unexpectedly, she was eager to kill this evil creature and herself as well.
When the emperor learned that she had given birth to a princess, he rushed to the court without stopping, and happened to see her trying to kill the child.
The emperor fought for the child and asked his eunuchs to hold her down to prevent her from going crazy.
But the emperor forgot that she had just given birth and was weak.
As the eunuch pulled her, she slammed her head against the headboard.
Her forehead and lower body were soon stained red with blood.
She couldn't decide the life or death of her child, but she could finally decide her own life or death.
