Chapter 37: Palace Coup in Goryeo



They looked like an ordinary couple, and Zhao Huan suddenly felt envious. Frankly speaking, this kind of life was happier than being the emperor himself.

Of course, it is not as comfortable as being an emperor, but being an emperor does not have the happy feeling of an ordinary life.

The emperor was all about profit, and even family affection was weak. Some emperors throughout history had no family affection at all.

Tian Yingying also felt that she was different, and her dusty heart was being opened up little by little.

The two of them finished their work for the morning, but they didn't feel tired at all.

"How is it, clean?" Zhao Huan clapped his hands, Tian Yingying took off her apron, and the two smiled at each other.

When there is no talk, that is when emotions burst forth. Crickets are playing love music in the corner, and everything is so warm.

Zhao Huan looked at her straight, but girls are often reserved in this regard, so Tian Yingying avoided his gaze.

If she avoids you, it means you are making her feel uneasy. If you can make a girl feel uneasy, then you have succeeded.

Tian Yingying's heart was pounding. She wanted to avoid the burning gaze and turned to go upstairs.

If you are a fool or a hypocrite, you can stand still at this moment. Zhao Huan is not a fool, nor is he a hypocrite. He is a real villain.

So Zhao Huan rushed over and hugged Tian Yingying, and Zhao Huan clearly felt her body shake.

Why do people say it's better to believe in ghosts than to believe a man's words? It makes sense. At this moment, Zhao Huan was full of sweet talk.

"Yingying, you are so beautiful." Zhao Huan exclaimed.

Tian Yingying struggled for a moment: "Let me go."

If I let her go, something strange would happen. Zhao Huan hugged her even harder: "It's impossible for me to let you go. I will never let you go in this life. Things that I set my eyes on can't run away. You belong to me in this life."

Domineering, arrogant, and chauvinistic, some girls like this.

Tian Yingying, who had never had physical contact before, was hugged so tightly by Zhao Huan that she immediately became panicked and at a loss.

Both she and Han Zhongyong acted out of emotion but followed etiquette, and neither dared to overstep the line.

But when he met the shameless Zhao Huan, it seemed that there was nothing in the world that he dared not do.

That's right, Zhao Huan kissed her. But then, feeling unsatisfied, with the soft jade in his arms, Zhao Huan began to act dishonestly: "Tian Yingying, if, if I were really the emperor, would you be willing to be with me?"

Tian Yingying blushed as she dodged Zhao Huan's harassment: "You, you let me go, I'm angry!"

When a girl says this, it means she is really angry, and the best thing to do at this time is to let her go.

Zhao Huan refused to let go: "No, you're angry, so what? Beat me to death, I'm willing to die in your hands. Seeing you makes my heart turbulent. I think you're almost dying. Rather than suffer like this, I'd rather let you beat me to death."

Sweet words were so powerful that Tian Yingying froze immediately. However, she rejected Zhao Huan's excessive politeness, so Zhao Huan did not dare to go too far.

God knows how long the two of them kept whispering to each other, but even at dawn, they were still not tired at all. In the end, Tian Yingying broke free from his embrace and ran back to her room.

"I must be crazy!" Zhao Huan muttered to himself. He hadn't experienced this feeling of love for a long time.

The power of love is great, so great that it can make a person stay awake all night and still be full of energy. Early in the morning, Zhao Huan followed Tian Yingying to the vegetable market.

Once conquered, a fierce woman often becomes as docile as a lamb. Tian Yingying now obeys Zhao Huan's every word and has lost all her former stubbornness.

When Zhao Huan returned to the inn, he was surprised to see a man standing at the door waiting for him, Linghu Yunlong.

"Young Master!" Linghu Yunlong bowed respectfully to Zhao Huan.

Tian Yingying was startled. She looked at Zhao Huan: "You, who is he?"

Zhao Huan cursed inwardly, "Meng Gurao, this bastard!" He had told Meng Gurao to get Linghu Yunlong here because he wanted him to protect him secretly, but who had let him come here openly to block him?

"I don't know him. I think you recognized the wrong person." Zhao Huan said with a cold face. He didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being.

This had already aroused Tian Yingying's vigilance. She had a vague feeling that Zhao Huan was unusual. He didn't look like someone whose family had suffered a tragedy. Meng Gu Rao treated him with great respect. He had pretended to be the emperor and cursed him, yet he had returned safely.

He said he was a royal relative, so why was his father imprisoned by the court while he was fine?

"What's going on?" Tian Yingying asked.

Zhao Huan looked at Linghu Yunlong, expecting him to make up a reasonable excuse for himself.

Unexpectedly, Linghu Yunlong didn't give him the slightest bit of face, and still bowed respectfully, saying, "Sir, something big has happened."

Now it was Zhao Huan's turn to be surprised. Something must have happened in the palace. Otherwise, Linghu Yunlong wouldn't dare to risk disobeying the emperor's order and come to him so openly.

Zhao Huan handed the basket of vegetables to Tian Yingying and said, "Go back to the house first. I have something to do first."

Zhao Huan's serious expression made Tian Yingying dare not ask any more questions. She took the food back to the inn. Looking back, she saw Zhao Xiaolong and the man hiding in a secluded alley, whispering something.

"What happened?" Zhao Huan asked. He was worried that something might have happened in the harem.

Linghu Yunlong whispered, "Your Majesty, two things. One is that a coup d'état took place in Goryeo, and the king was imprisoned."

Zhao Huan frowned: "King Wang Kai of Goryeo? He deserves it. It's a good thing that he's imprisoned."

It turned out that the Song Dynasty and Goryeo had not established diplomatic relations, and the Goryeo king did not pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, but instead turned to Mongolia.

During the Jin Dynasty, not long after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, Wang Kai pledged his loyalty to the Jin Dynasty. The Song Dynasty sent envoys many times, but the Jin Dynasty ignored them.

It's no wonder that the Song Dynasty was struggling to protect itself. Being suppressed and beaten by the Jin Kingdom, it's understandable that Goryeo ignored the Song Dynasty.

What infuriated Zhao Huan was that after the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, Wang Kai had indeed become more courteous to the Song Dynasty. However, Wang Kai also paid tribute to Kublai Khan, the leader of the Mongol Empire, and still ignored Zhao Huan.

At that time, Zhao Huan was furious and wanted to send troops to deal with these Koreans. Later, he was dissuaded by Li Gang, Meng Gu Rao and others. Yue Fei even wrote a letter saying that the north was not yet settled and it was not time to send troops to Korea. Zhao Huan then gave up.

I never thought that the King of Goryeo would be imprisoned this time. It was really a relief to everyone. Zhao Huan said happily: "Do I still need to deal with this matter?"

Linghu Yunlong nodded: "King Wang Kai of Goryeo was imprisoned, and his second daughter, Princess Yanran, escaped. Princess Yanran has now arrived in the capital, and she brought a letter from her father." As he said that, he took out the letter from his arms and sent it to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan saw that the letter stated that Goryeo wanted to ask the Song Dynasty to send troops to quell the rebellion. Wang Kai was willing to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty forever.
