One Day, I Will Kill All of Them
Outside Zhao He Hall, the sounds of Concubine Xiang and Noble Lady Liu being punished by flogging could be heard. Those were the sounds of the paddle hitting their bodies, and every hit caused the Emperor to feel better.
Last night was a disgrace. Even though he was the Emperor, even though there were countless beauties in the harem, even though those two had been favoured by him in the past, he had never done anything like summon three concubines to spend one night with him. Exhibiting such excessive debauchery, wasn’t that no different from a beast? If such information spread outside, how could he, the Emperor, still show his face outside?

Once he thought about it, he felt that the process of being flogged to death occurring outside was too slow, so he shouted outside in a restless tone on reflex: “Hit faster! Hit a little faster! Shut their mouths! We do not wish to hear their shouts!”
At this moment, Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu was obediently sitting on the Emperor’s lap. It looked like she was continuously comforting the Emperor, but in reality, she was comforting herself. What did those two say when they were dragged out? They said: We don’t know anything! We don’t know how we came here, we were clearly sleeping in our own palace courtyards! But we came here in a blink of an eye?
These words caused Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu to immediately think of the two things Xuan Tianmo had told her before. The first thing was when Sheng Palace was robbed, all the treasures disappeared in one night without any signs, as if they simply disappeared. The many eyes of the hidden guards were useless, they could not even find a bird. The other thing was scarier than losing valuables. The private mentor they had arranged for Feng Zirui strangely arrived at her son’s bed. And just like Concubine Xiang and Noble Lady Liu, she did not know anything about the process. It occurred so suddenly in a god-like manner, and the attack took them by surprise.
Instinct told her that this series of incidents were done by the same person or the same group of people. This was too scary, the other party could actually do things so seamlessly. If they had the intent to kill a person last night, then wouldn’t killing her be just as easy?

Once she thought about how she was likely to die in her sleep, Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu shivered violently. When the Emperor sensed it, he asked quickly: “Beloved concubine, what’s wrong?” He saw that Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu was pale and felt that she must be feeling ashamed for what happened last night, so he comforted her, saying: “What’s past is past, We will order the Empress…… ah no, you, my beloved concubine, will personally oversee the harem. You can deal with whoever you dislike in any way you want to make sure something similar does not happen again, alright? Beloved concubine, don’t be scared, no matter when, We will definitely protect you and make sure you do not get hurt in any way.”

When the Emperor said these words, his mind was actually not that clear. This kind of feeling would occasionally occur with some degree of haziness, some degree of headache, and also some degree of dizziness. If he was alone, when this feeling came, it would be especially unbearable to the point that it would not dissipate at all. But it was easier if Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu was at this side, as long as he hugged her, as long as he continuously spoke sweet words to her, as long as he could see his beloved Imperial Concubine happy and make her smile, all the pain he felt would disappear like smoke.
The Emperor thought he must have been inflicted by some illness and Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu was the best medicine to cure his illness. He liked being with Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu, it was like his heart had found where it belonged. This feeling of love made him want to dig his own heart out to show her and he hated that he could not surrender this nation to her. There were so many times when he felt the urge to hand over the throne to her and the son Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu gave birth to, but once the words reached the edge of his mouth, it seemed like another force would stuff those words back, making him unable to say those words at all.
His mental state was actually very messed up and he could only calm down when Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu was at his side. He enjoyed this calm, enjoyed this feeling, so no matter what, no one could steal his beloved concubine away. Everything which made his beloved concubine unhappy, he would get rid of them, he did not care even if he emptied this harem.
