Chapter 94 Confide
Guan Suyi was speechless by the Emperor Sheng Yuan’s shamelessness, and was silent for a long time before she said, “Your Majesty, this subject woman finally understand why you can become the emperor.”

“Why?”

“Because you are invincible.”

“Oh? Madam praised me so much. Indeed, Zhen swept thousands of troops back then…”

“No,” Guan Suyi interrupted him, “there are two kinds of sayings in Central Plains. One is that the benevolent is invincible; the other is that the despicable is invincible. Your Majesty, you are already invincible in the world!”

The smugness on Emperor Sheng Yuan’s face was replaced by astonishment. After a while he hugged Madam and laughed softly, his eyes flashed with a happy brilliance, “Madam, Madam, you can dominate the Central Plains with this mouth alone, even Zhen has to bow down to you. There are two kinds of sayings in one sentence, how should Zhen choose? Of course, you can’t put ‘invincible’ on the despicable, you can only eat your dumb loss. Madam, no matter how unhappy, it’s alright to scold, but by any means don’t hit Zhen again. Zhen is not afraid of pain, just afraid you hurts your hand.”

Guan Suyi was ashamed and angry but couldn’t struggle free, so she could only persuade softly, “Your Majesty, let go of this subject woman first, shall we sit down and talk slowly? This subject woman often hears grandfather and father compliment you for your generous heart, benevolence and calling you a rare wise ruler. When walking in the street market, the people also praise you and love you very much. With great difficulty you built the country, accumulate all the prestige, could it be you are willing to ruin it for the sake of an insignificant woman? Have you ever wondered how this history will be written by the future generations? How can you add a stain on your glorious achievement that will never be washed away? You say that this subject woman is porcelain and you are rubble, but you are so wrong! This subject women may be porcelain, or it may be a little exquisite and precious, which makes people want to collect, but the world is equally exquisite, equally precious, so much so that an exquisite and precious porcelain is nothing. You are richest in the world, you can get everything that you want, not only it’s justified but also very easy.”

She continued in a sincere tone, “Your Majesty, you are not rubble, you are a national weapon, you are the Eastern Emperor Bell* that guards the mountains and rivers, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron that supports the fate of the country. Your reputation and prestige cannot be tarnished. Still ask the Emperor to preserve some dignity for yourself and for this subject woman.”

Emperor Sheng Yuan tapped his chin on her shoulder, looked sideways at her flickering eyes, her open and close lips, and his heart was full of longing and tenderness.

“Preserve some dignity for you? Zhen thought you would cry and shout for Zhen to keep your chastity. Don’t you all Central Plains women value chastity? You have been hugged and kissed by Zhen, so your chastity has been lost, then you can be considered as Zhen’s person, right? Besides, Madam is also very wrong. There is no woman in the world who can compare with Madam. In my heart, Madam is a unique treasure.”

Guan Suyi furrowed her brows, and said with some restraint, “Chastity is for others, but dignity is for yourself. I don’t know what other women think, if I lose my dignity, it is no different from killing me. Your Majesty, you are high and powerful, so you never put us ants in your eyes. But you must know that ants also have the right to live and have the determination to fight everything. If they were played too much, they would rather turn into mud than compromise. Don’t think that you are the monarch and can arbitrarily manipulate my life. You have already ruined my expectations for marriage. Would you please let me live the rest of my life in peace? I can’t afford to play your game!”
