The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

March passed in a flash, and April, a rainy month, followed...

Yun Jingman recovered under the careful care of the imperial doctors and the careful waiting of the palace maids. Ning'er was also waiting on him.

The days passed by in a dull manner, month after month... The rain left in April, followed by early summer in May, and June...

In midsummer July, heat waves came one after another. People were baked like swollen bread by the scorching sun, and the sweat kept gushing out.

The whole summer has made the harem restless. The Empress Dowager has dominated the favor. Since the Empress Dowager fell ill, the Emperor has stayed in Fengsheng Palace every night and has not changed his mind or gone to other palaces. This has caused resentment in the entire harem. As the queen of a country, she has dominated the favor. It is really unruly.

There was resentment in the harem. Although Baili Haoxuan had forbidden those unpleasant words from entering Fengsheng Palace, Yun Jingman was able to hear some of them.

It's not that she hadn't advised Baili Haoxuan to treat everyone equally. Although she felt sad to share the person she loved with the three thousand concubines in the harem, she also clearly understood that the person she loved was the king of a country, the most noble being, and he couldn't belong to her alone.

She also persuaded Baili Haoxuan that as long as he only loved her, she would not mind being equally involved. However, Baili Haoxuan directly refused, saying that he wanted to give her the love of "one heart, one love, one life".

Yun Jingman was completely addicted to the emperor's deep affection and could not extricate himself...

Royal study room.

"How is the progress of the new army's training?" Baili Haoxuan asked suddenly while reviewing memorials with a red pen in his hand and a serious look on his face.

Yan Zinuo, who was dressed in a black official uniform, put down the teacup he had just taken a few sips from, and became serious. "Zinuo will personally supervise, so there will be no problem."

"Hmm." He answered casually, his brows furrowed, his expression cold, and he immersed himself in the memorials.

"There is no need to worry about the new army. Food is also sufficient. The biggest problem is war horses and weapons. Our Xuanhuang's weapons are far from those of Cangming Kingdom." Yan Zinuo lifted his robe, stood up, and walked to Baili Haoxuan.

Baili Haoxuan put down his red brush and rubbed his frowning eyebrows with his hands. A little fatigue spread across his brows. In order to speed up the implementation of the plan, he was dealing with national affairs on the one hand, preparing the plan secretly on the other hand, and trying to coax his chess pieces to paralyze Cangming's consciousness on the other hand. He had not rested for days.

Rubbing his brows, he looked full of energy again. Yan Zinuo really had to admire Baili Haoxuan. Who could match his extraordinary energy?

"The only war horse in the world is Mo Dan." Baili Haoxuan said coldly.

"Mo Dan? Do you mean to cooperate with Mo Dan?" Yan Zinuo asked tentatively.

"Yeah." Baili Haoxuan nodded.

"However, all countries in the world know that Mo Dan is arrogant because of his talent. He relies on the best people in the world to drive out of the place of production, but he does not take anyone seriously. Even Cangming Country is a little afraid of him."

"War horses are the key to war. Running a step slower on the battlefield may mean killing one less enemy, or you may be killed by the enemy. So, Liang Qi, I am right." He looked like he was sure of victory, with confidence in his blue eyes, which made Yan Zinuo have to admit his defeat.

Although we know that cooperating with Mo Dan is an impossible task, but when Baili Haoxuan says it, we cannot help but believe it. This is the charm of the strong.

So, he is the king and you are the subject.

"Then what should we do?" Yan Zinuo believed that Baili Haoxuan already had a plan in mind. He never fought a battle without confidence, nor did he say anything without basis.

"I heard that old King Mo Dan is not in as good of a health as before, and the competition for the throne among the princes is becoming increasingly fierce. Zinuo, who do you think will be the final emperor?" Baili Haoxuan leaned on the dragon throne, with a lazy and wicked look on his face, and asked Zinuo in a casual manner.

"Well... does Baili have a candidate in mind?" Yan Zinuo looked at Baili Haoxuan with a knowing expression. He knew that Baili Huli already had a candidate in mind.

"Hehe." Baili Haoxuan looked profound, with icy blue eyes... "I heard that the third prince of Mo Dan, Mo Tianao, came to Xuanhuang Imperial City to relax." Baili Haoxuan tapped the handle of the dragon throne with his slender fingers, and said casually.

"Zinuo understands." How could he not understand Baili's meaning.

"It's a hot and humid day, I'd like to go relax and unwind." He lifted up his bright yellow dragon robe, stood up, and walked out with big strides.

He stepped out of the door of the imperial study, without turning around, and said calmly: "When you have time, go see her for me."

Yan Zinuo was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Baili Haoxuan had already walked far away, and even his shadow could not be seen. Yan Zinuo knew who Baili Haoxuan was talking about.

"Don't you know what she wants?" Yan Zinuo smiled bitterly and sighed softly.

(Fengsheng Palace Courtyard)

In the sultry summer, the whole body feels damp and sticky, especially in Xuanhuang, which is located in the south and is even more sultry than Cangming.

Yun Jingman and Ning'er were enjoying the cool under a sturdy banyan tree, sitting in a row with a fan each to keep themselves cool.

"I wonder if the iced mung bean soup is ready." Yun Jingman is most afraid of heat. It was relatively good in Cangming before, as it was not so hot in summer. After coming to Xuanhuang, she simply couldn't stand it. She was sweating profusely every day and had to wear such thick palace clothes. She almost died of heat.

"Princess, can that iced mung bean soup really help relieve the heat? I can hardly bear the heat." Ning'er fanned herself vigorously, waving her long sleeves up, sweat dripping from her face.

"Of course it works. Mung beans are a great product for relieving summer heat. Adding ice cubes will definitely help reduce body heat." Yun Jingman said proudly.

"What new things does the Queen have?" Baili Haoxuan gently waved his folding fan, standing tall and graceful, with deep ice-blue eyes and an evil smile on his lips. Like a demon or a fairy.

Yun Jingman and Ning'er quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Baili Haoxuan. Ning'er quickly rolled up her sleeves and lost her composure.

"Get up." Baili Haoxuan waved his hand, and Ning'er and the palace maids who were serving beside them tactfully retreated to give the emperor and empress some space.

Ning'er winked at Yun Jingman as she walked. She was so happy. After the battle in Tongyin Palace, her princess turned a disaster into a blessing and was often favored by the emperor. She also benefited from it.

Yun Jingman gave Ning'er a coquettish look. This girl loved to make fun of her even more.

Baili Haoxuan looked at Yun Jingman, who blushed again. He walked over, pulled Yun Jingman over, put his arms around her slender waist, and sat down with her in his arms. They became more and more intimate and familiar with each other.
