Chapter 183 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with
The Empress Dowager's maternal family, the Han family, was headed by the Empress Dowager's elder brother, Han Kangping, who was also the Duke of Mu in the Dayong Dynasty.
The woman who entered the palace, Han Wanyue, was the youngest legitimate daughter of the Duke of Mu, only 16 years old. Logically speaking, with Han Wanyue's status, she could have been an empress.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jing'an already had an empress, and Han Wanyue was in love with the emperor, so she had no choice but to reluctantly enter the palace and become a concubine.
I can't go to the Empress's palace, but I should be fine going to Consort Han's place, right?
"Consort Han is not in any immediate danger, but Xiao Jing'an should still be prepared."
Xiao Jing'an was about to give the order to go to Consort Han's palace when he heard this and stopped.
"Before today, Han Wanyue was a spoiled, love-obsessed little girl.
But the Han Wanyue after today is a 16-year-old high school student who has traveled from the modern world. She is a delinquent girl who doesn't do well in school, skips classes, and bullies her classmates.
After transmigrating and figuring out the situation, Han Wanyue naively believed that she was the chosen one of this world and was wholeheartedly waiting for her emperor brother's unique love for her!
Oh, right, Han Wanyue also has a cheat code, which is QQ Farm. Although it's just a place to grow vegetables, it's still an advantage in ancient times when food and clothing were scarce.
But this advantage, well... might not be very noticeable in the palace.
After all, in the palace, there was no shortage of food or clothing, and Han Wanyue also had the Empress Dowager as her backer, so this cheat code was not very useful. Moreover, Han Wanyue didn't know how to farm, so QQ Farm was basically abandoned.
Han Wanyue's mind is now entirely focused on seducing Xiao Jing'an. She has erected a pole in her bedroom, planning to perform a pole dance for him when he arrives...
Then, wanting to give her emperor brother a little push, she put on smoky makeup and wore a modified corset and shorts, striving to make Xiao Jing'an fall in love with her at first sight!
Xiao Jing'an's body stiffened. After hearing Su Jinyue's description, he couldn't even imagine the scene.
Was Han Wanyue trying to attract the emperor's attention, or was she trying to scare him to death?
They came from the modern world? It seems this world isn't a good place. People from here behave so recklessly; it's clearly a place where morality has collapsed.
It seems that Consort Han cannot go anywhere.
Xiao Jing'an glanced at Su Jinyue subtly, then asked Li Derang.
"Has anyone been sent to Consort Shen's residence?"
Li Derang didn't understand why Xiao Jing'an suddenly asked about Consort Shen's situation, but he still answered seriously.
"Your Majesty, Consort Shen did not send anyone over."
"Consort Shen? Could it be that Xiao Jing'an wants to go to Consort Shen's place?"
As Xiao Jing'an expected, as soon as he mentioned a name, Su Jinyue would start thinking about that person.
"This is a difficult situation. It would be best if Xiao Jing'an didn't go either, but how can I stop him?"
Consort Shen Qiubai was the only daughter of Duke Jingguo, Shen Beicheng.
Who is Shen Beicheng? He is the most famous border general of the Dayong Dynasty! He has been guarding the border for twenty years and has 300,000 border troops under his command.
As Shen Beicheng's daughter, Shen Qiubai's personality is just like her father's. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and her skills are truly remarkable!
However, there was no other way. Considering the safety of the court, Xiao Jing'an knew that although Shen Beicheng was loyal and had no intention of disobeying the emperor's orders, the royal family still needed a hostage.
And so, Shen Qiubai entered the palace.
Shen Qiubai understood the significance of her entering the palace. The emperor would not kill her, and she had no intention of vying for favor in the harem. Peace and tranquility were the best outcome.
In other storylines, Shen Qiubai, who serves as a background character, also doesn't have a good ending. He either becomes cannon fodder in other women's love-hate stories with the emperor, or he becomes a pawn used by the emperor's brother or uncle to turn Shen Beicheng against him when they rebel.
In short, the endings were all increasingly tragic.
However, the original Shen Qiubai was possessed by the Shen Qiubai who came from the apocalypse!
Shen Qiubai now possesses a huge jade pendant space and has also gained enhanced abilities from the apocalypse, allowing him to improve his physical fitness simply by eating.
Life in the apocalypse was too bitter. Shen Qiubai transmigrated to an ancient imperial palace and became a concubine. With no worries about the future, all she wanted to do was lie down and do nothing, eating and drinking to her heart's content.
"Oh, to be honest, I'm quite envious of Shen Qiubai's life! Unfortunately, I still have the mission to protect Xiao Jing'an, so I can't just relax..."
Xiao Jing'an twitched his lips. What kind of oddballs were the concubines in his harem?
Instead of vying for favor, she just wants to lie low and do nothing?!
That's incredibly unambitious.
However, Su Jinyue is still better than those in his harem who are too ambitious.
Moreover, Su Jinyue actually came to protect him!
What could a weak woman like her do for him besides knowing some strange things? How presumptuous of her!
However, having heard Su Jinyue's thoughts, Xiao Jing'an also learned some secrets, and what she said also touched on some future matters.
Although we don't know if it's true or not yet, at least it can be used as a reference.
Xiao Jing'an thought that since Su Jinyue had said that Consort Shen had no designs on him, it should be fine to go to Consort Shen's place tonight.
The Empress Dowager has spoken, instructing me to visit the inner palace more often. I must not go to Consort Han's place, and the Empress's place is a den of dragons and tigers, so I must not go there either.
As Consort Shen was ranked third in the harem, it was understandable that he would go to Consort Shen's place.
Xiao Jing'an turned around, about to give the orders.
"Prepare the carriage..." said Consort Shen.
"But we really, really can't go to Shen Qiubai's place!"
Upon hearing Su Jinyue's assertion that it was also impossible to go to Consort Shen's place, Xiao Jing'an stopped mid-sentence.
Why can't she go? Wasn't it said that Consort Shen had no ambition at all?
Su Jinyue didn't hide anything and said it directly in her heart.
"Don't forget, Shen Qiubai came from the apocalypse. The apocalypse is a place where zombies are everywhere and humanity has been completely extinguished."
As a superhuman, Shen Qiubai not only has to kill zombies in the apocalypse, but also has to be wary of betrayal by his teammates.
Shen Qiubai suffered far too many betrayals in the apocalypse, but in the end, he still couldn't defend himself.
While fighting the zombie horde, he was caught off guard and attacked from behind by his teammates, dying instantly in the zombie horde without leaving a trace.
Therefore, Shen Qiubai is now left with a lingering condition: he cannot have anyone lying next to him.
If Xiao Jing'an goes, Shen Qiubai won't be able to refuse Xiao Jing'an's offer to share a bed. I'm afraid Shen Qiubai might lose control and chop Xiao Jing'an's neck.
Xiao Jing'an's face darkened immediately. Was there really no normal person in his harem?
They are reborn, they travel through time, and they all have cheat codes.
Why are they all here to kill him?
Shouldn't he be the Son of Heaven? Heaven should be favoring him, so why doesn't he get any of the good things?
This is so unfair!
