Ancient Times‧Holy Monk (3-4)

Chapter 3

When she said this, she was certainly not asking for Huai Yan's opinion, she was just informing him.

Ye Xuan saw a trace of shock flash across Huai Yan's face. The next moment he calmed down, lifted his clothes, and knelt on the ground: 「I beg your Majesty to take back your words.」

「Why?」 The girl said coolly as she fiddled with her fingertips carelessly.

「This subject is an outsider and cannot be included in Your Majesty's harem due to emotion or reason,」 Huai Yan's voice was gentle and calm. 「If this matter is known to the government and the public, I fear that the controversy will boil over and it will damage Your Majesty's reputation.」

「What?」 Ye Xuan smiled, 「Are you threatening me?」 When getting along with Huai Yan, the feeling of empathy seemed to have returned to her body, so even her tone was condescending and bossy.

She is bound to get this man. As an emperor who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people, there is nothing she cannot get.

「Huai Yan,」 Ye Xuan stood up and walked to Huai Yan.

She noticed that the man's back stiffened slightly, and the smile on her face became softer. 「You know that I don't care about government affairs at all. I don't have the final say in the affairs of the court. What matters are discussed has nothing to do with me.」 She slowly squatted down, and the jade belt around her waist made a soft jingling sound, 「But you are different. You are a monk with a pure heart, and you are also a highly respected abbot and a holy monk. If the news spread that you were forcibly taken into the palace by me, how do you think the Yunmen Sect will be criticized?」

Huai Yan remained silent. From the corner of her eye, Ye Xuan saw that his fingertips on the ground began to turn white.

「Raise your head,」 the man in front of her remained motionless. Ye Xuan suddenly raised her voice, 「Raise your head!」

She felt Huai Yan's breathing become confused for a moment. The man raised his head, and the gentle smile hanging on his lips was still there.

For some reason, Ye Xuan was confused.

It was such a heinous thing to force this man, and she suddenly realized how shameless she really was.

「I don't want to make things too ugly,」 Ye Xuan stood up and quickly looked away from Huai Yan's face, 「Not many people will know about your entry into the palace. I will also appoint the successor abbot of Yunmen Sect. I can grant you any reward you want.」

After a long time, Huai Yan finally spoke: 「So, there is no room for change in this matter?」

「That's right,」 the girl pursed her lips and turned her face away pretending to be nonchalant, 「You promised me that you would let the Yunmen Sect monks leave tomorrow, otherwise...」

The unfinished threat in her voice was obvious, and Huai Yan really had no way to resist.

In this era of overwhelming imperial power, not to mention that the emperor just wanted to force a monk into the palace, even if she wanted to massacre hundreds of members of the Yunmen Sect, there would be no way to hurt her except by being criticized.

Ye Xuan didn't know what Huai Yan was thinking, anger? Despair? Shame? Or resentment?

These emotions representing anger do not seem to appear in him, because he is such a person with a firm Buddhist heart.

「It doesn't matter,」 he didn't even sigh, but always lowered his eyes in such a gentle manner, 「This subject will follow your orders.」
