The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

A kiss caused an inexplicable change in the hearts of the two people, and a small ripple appeared... The changes in the harem are unpredictable, and a kiss alone can't keep the freshness in the heart...

The Council Hall, above the court.

Baili Haoxuan showed no emotion, he glanced coldly at the ministers below, listening to their arguments...

"The small border countries have repeatedly violated the borders of our Xuanhuang Dynasty. This is intolerable. Your Majesty, I think we should teach those small border countries a lesson and not let them go any further!" said a general indignantly.

"Yes, we must not let other countries look down on us." The generals below all echoed.

Standing at the front was General Leng Yan, Leng Ruoning's father, General Zhenguo who held half of Xuanhuang's military power, and Beitang Yuan behind him, without saying a word.

"I don't think it's appropriate. If we rashly attack a small border country, I'm afraid people will find excuses to accuse us, a great country like Xuanhuang Dynasty, of bullying a tiny country. This would be unworthy of the style of a great country like Xuanhuang Dynasty." Prime Minister Zhao stepped forward and said.

"Yes, yes, Prime Minister Zhao is right." All the civil officials below, except Yan Zinuo, echoed and agreed with Prime Minister Zhao's words.

"You civil officials who sit in the court all day long, what do you know? Those small border countries invade us repeatedly, aren't they just bullying us because we dare not fight them? Is that why they are so unscrupulous?" a military general shouted.

"How much will be lost in a war? Do you know? You are just showing off your bravery." A civil official stood up and argued.

"Who are you calling a coward?" The general was unhappy when he heard this and shouted.

"Just you military generals." The civil official sneered.

"You're looking for a beating." The general couldn't bear it any longer, so he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to teach the arrogant civil official a lesson.

"Stop it!" Baili Haoxuan shouted coldly, and the sparks that had just been ignited suddenly became silent because of Baili Haoxuan's shout...

Yan Zinuo, Leng Yan and Beitang Yuan took the lead and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Zinuo, what do you think about the actions of this small border country?" Baili Haoxuan asked coldly.

"Your Majesty. The border issue has always existed. The small barbarian countries have repeatedly invaded the people of the Xuanhuang Dynasty on the border, stealing, robbing, and killing, doing all kinds of evil. This is not something that has only existed today. A rash attack is obviously not an option. However, blindly tolerating will only make the people on the border suffer." Yan Zinuo replied.

"Then how do we solve it?" Baili Haoxuan asked coldly, his eyebrows slightly raised, his icy blue eyes full of coldness.

"My lord, let's fight." Yan Zinuo said loudly.

The council hall was silent, and the ministers were discussing one after another. Baili Haoxuan raised his eyebrows and looked around, but remained silent. No one could tell Baili Haoxuan's attitude.

"Lord Yan, didn't you just say that rashly attacking small border countries is obviously not a good idea? Why are you advocating war now?" Prime Minister Zhao said.

"I said that a rash attack is not okay. But I never said that I don't approve of an attack. If we study and prepare carefully, we can suppress the arrogance of the small countries on the border in one fell swoop and solve the stubborn border issues for a long time, wouldn't that be great?" Yan Zinuo's words were as gentle as the breeze, but every word was full of pearls, making it impossible to refute. A cunning fox...

"Master Yan is right. Master Yan is right." The generals all nodded in agreement.

Ever since Baili Haoxuan personally led a million cavalrymen to conquer the Cangming Kingdom three years ago, the world has been peaceful, at least on the surface, because no one has the ability to check and balance anyone else alone, so although there is peace on the surface, there is turmoil underneath.

The battlefield is where the military commanders can display their skills. In the past three years, they have watched the civil officials' intrigues in the court every day. They are peaceful on the surface but dirty in secret. They can no longer bear it. Therefore, if there is a rare opportunity for them to make moves, they will never let it go.

"What does General Leng think about this?" Baili Haoxuan asked the silent General Leng Yan in a cold voice. His eyebrows raised slightly. Isn't this an old fox?

"I think what you said is absolutely right, sir." Leng Yan said with full energy. He was about forty years old, without the rough and wild appearance of a military general, and had his own temperament.

The entire Xuanhuang Dynasty, with Yan Zinuo in literature and Leng Yan in martial arts, formed a stable and prosperous situation.

"Then according to Zinuo, who should be sent to fight?" Baili Haoxuan looked at Yan Zinuo calmly and asked coldly.

"I think it would be most appropriate to send Major General Beitang." Yan Zinuo said in a gentle voice.

Beitang Yuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly turned around and looked at Yan Zinuo, his narrow peach blossom eyes filled with an incomprehensible look.

"I also think that Major General Beitang is the most suitable." Baili Haoxuan said in a calm voice.

Everything seemed irreversible. Beitang Yuan was appointed by Emperor Baili Haoxuan as the General of the Northern Expedition and was scheduled to set off three days later.

It seems like an accidental turmoil, but in fact, there is a lot of inevitability underneath...

Now, who knows...the lights are out and people are asleep.

Yun Jingman was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The thought of the accidental kiss last night kept lingering in his mind...

She could clearly feel his burning desire, but he did not take any follow-up action. He directly put her on the bed, tucked her in, and gave her a kiss on the forehead, such a gentle, such a passionate kiss...

The more they spend time together, the less I understand what Baili Haoxuan is thinking. Shouldn't an emperor possess his concubine? Why did he just give her a light kiss...

Since she came back to the palace, she caught his attention at the banquet. He ignored everyone's gaze and picked her up to go back to the bedroom, just to take off her veil. When the veil fell, she saw the clear disappointment in his eyes, a disappointment after expectation.

Then, he was inexplicably cold and casually gave her the title of Concubine of Love and granted her the Palace of Love and Joy. Concubine of Love and the Palace of Love and Joy were very strange in themselves. After that, she broke into the imperial study and he forced himself on her. When he found out that she was not a virgin, he flew into a rage and severely whipped her.

When she was dying, he gave her the most precious life-extending pill, of which there were only three in the world. Later, he took her on an autumn hunt, and when she was injured because of him, he gave her tender care. And that strange kiss last night...

What kind of attitude did Baili Haoxuan have towards her? Was this really just the attitude of an emperor towards his concubine? Or was he always so kind to his concubine? Or was he treating her with all the kindness and favor he had shown her five years ago, just to destroy the Modan Kingdom in one night?

But does he need this?

Yun Jingman tossed and turned, unable to figure it out. In fact, how could she figure out other people? Whether it was Gu Yue, who seemed indifferent to everything, or Bei Tangyuan, who was hiding his true intentions, which one could she see clearly? The men around her were too outstanding and too scheming. She couldn't figure it out...

"Beauty, what are you thinking about?" Suddenly a voice broke Yun Jingman's thoughts. Yun Jingman opened his eyes and turned his head, and saw a magnified handsome face right above him. It was Beitang Yuan without a doubt.

Yun Jingman tried to stand up, but was held down by Beitang Yuan with both hands. Yun Jingman angrily said, "Are you crazy? This is the harem, how can you just walk in casually?"

"Crazy for you." Beitang Yuan restrained Yun Jingman's body, then lowered his head to the back of Yun Jingman's shoulder, smelling the scent of Yun Jingman's daughter.

Yun Jingman felt ashamed of Beitang Yuan's ambiguous behavior and tried to break free.

"Beauty, you smell so good. You are so tempting..." Beitang Yuan rubbed his face against her shoulder and said lazily...

"Beitang Yuan, you are really a lunatic." Now, there is really no other word to describe him except crazy. This man entered the harem concubine's bedroom as if there was no one there, and dared to do this...

"It's all because you're too beautiful, my beauty. It's hard for me not to go crazy. I think about you every day. I'm heartbroken by the thought of you." Beitang Yuan continued to speak in a lewd manner, not caring about Yun Jingman whose chest was heaving with anger.

"What on earth are you doing?" Yun Jingman lowered his breath and asked coldly.

"It's okay. Can't you find a beautiful woman?" Beitang Yuan raised his head that was rubbing against Yun Jingman's shoulder. In the dark bedroom, he could only see the other's eyes shining.

"If the general is such a reckless person, then I have chosen the wrong person and the wrong partner." Yun Jingman turned his head away without looking at Beitang Yuan.

"Haha. Beauty, you are so interesting." Beitang Yuan released the hands that were restraining Yun Jingman, propped himself up, sat down beside the bed, with his back facing Yun Jingman.

Yun Jingman also sat up, straightened her clothes, and covered herself tightly.

"In three days, I will set out for the border." Beitang Yuan put away his rogue tone and said formally.

"What?" Yun Jingman asked puzzledly.

"Now that I think about it, perhaps all of this was planned by the Emperor and Yan Zinuo. The border issue has a long history, it is not just a matter of one or two days. It's just that the troops were in chaos, and it was exaggerated to this extent. It turns out that this was just a prelude." Beitang Yuan said slowly.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Yun Jingman on the side was confused and didn't know where to start.

Beitang Yuan suddenly turned around, facing Xiang Yun Jingman, pinched Yun Jingman's chin, and said with a smile: "Beauty, you are still too naive. Maybe you can suppress those brainless concubines who only know how to compete for favor in the harem. If you want to fight with Baili Haoxuan, you are really too naive."

Yun Jingman slapped Beitang Yuan's hand away and said sarcastically, "Yes, I am not as scheming as the general."

"It's never easy in this court. The emperor has transferred me to the border to suppress the rebellion, which is undoubtedly a reduction of my power. Now, I have one-third of the Xuanhuang Dynasty's troops. Perhaps after returning victorious, these troops will be incorporated by the emperor."

"Then you shouldn't lose the battle." Yun Jingman said coldly.

"So that he will have the opportunity to kill me? Beauty, you are really too naive. If I leave, who will protect you?" Beitang Yuan said frivolously.

"I don't need that. I can protect myself. There's no need for the general to worry about it." Yun Jingman refused coldly.

"After I leave, my lady, please be careful and don't act rashly. Baili Haoxuan is not as simple as he looks. How can it be so easy for a million iron hooves to wipe out the people of Cangming Country in one night?" Beitang Yuan reminded.

"I know, and there's no need for the general to remind me." Yun Jingman became a little excited.

"Beauty, leave the planning to me. You just wait for my return and don't act rashly." Beitang Yuan said worriedly.

"Someone is coming." Beitang Yuan said this, and the figure disappeared without a trace. Yun Jingman looked at him, Beitang Yuan, you are not simple either...
