Bloody Kyoto

Just as Li Nanle had thought, Yunze hadn't left; instead, he was going crazy on Tree Skull Mountain.

He wasn't sure if the otherworldly person was still there, so he decided to try his luck.

At the same time, a message was sent to Elder Yun and Second Master Yun in the capital, and the two rushed back to their clan's territory ten days later.

Upon learning that his clansmen had all perished, Elder Yun visibly lost his spirit.

Yunji was almost half-mad.

His wife, son, grandchildren, they were all gone.

But after his madness subsided, he calmed down, and the only thing he could do for the rest of his life was to seek revenge.

To get revenge faster, they need Ah Hui's help.

After explaining the situation to the ancestor and his elder brother, he left the dilapidated clan territory with Amitabha.

The reason why Zheng Jiaojiao was valued so highly in the first place was not because she had the blood of the Yun family, but because of her unique ability to gather fortune.

It was because of her ability that Huo Yunxia's abilities were given to her.

The day after Yun Ji left, Ancestor Yun and Yun Ze returned to the capital with hearts full of hatred.

If you want revenge, staying in the capital is the best option.

Because there are too many enemies of the otherworldly beings here, they plan to wait and wait for them to come to them.

If necessary, one can also be the bait.

Even without any special publicity, the major hidden families still learned about what happened to the Yun family through various channels.

Some were happy, some were worried, and some sighed.

The Zhao and Yu families are overjoyed, the Han and Mo families are filled with sorrow, and the Xiang family is filled with worry.

After reaching an agreement with the emperor, Xiang Yicong bought a house in the capital, where the Xiang family members later lived.

The tragic situation of the Yun family terrified the once confident Xiang family.

What they feared was not their own lives, but the lives of their tribesmen.

Finally, someone couldn't help but suggest to the clan leader, Xiang Yicong, that they should return to the clan to protect their family.

Once one person brought it up, the others couldn't help but bring it up as well.

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yicong finally agreed to let some of the people go back.

"Half of the people need to go back. For the Xiang family, the otherworldly person is a sword hanging over our heads. We must kill her before she takes revenge on the Xiang family."

Everyone thought it made sense.

That day, more than a dozen members of the Xiang family rode away from the capital.

The emperor naturally noticed the Xiang family's actions, but he had no intention of pursuing the matter at the moment.

The complete annihilation of the Yun family gave him a vague sense of the abilities of people from other worlds.

She's really strong!

Is it still not strong enough?

If she's so strong, why does she always seem hesitant and timid in her actions?

If they weren't strong, how could they have wiped out the Yun family overnight?

I was initially certain she wasn't strong, but now I'm not so sure, and I feel uneasy.

The Fu family, the Grand Princess, Prince Cheng, Prince Ning, Consort Shu and her maternal family, the Wu family, and other people who had been involved in the Huo Yunxia incident were also filled with anxiety.

Even the noble ladies who deliberately made things difficult for Huo Yunxia at the banquet in order to please Zheng Jiaojiao, along with the men in their families, did the same.

He couldn't eat or sleep properly all day, fearing that one day the otherworldly beings would retaliate against him.

Power and wealth are important, but if you lose your life, no amount of power will help.

then……

The imperial study was filled with memorials of resignation.

The anxious emperor, upon seeing these memorials, flew into a rage.

All your petitions were rejected. You want to escape? Dream on!

Even an emperor like him couldn't escape, so you think you can? No way!

If we're talking about who's the most composed, it has to be Consort Hui.

Upon learning that everyone in the Yun family except for the Yun Patriarch, the Yun Family Head, and the Second Master Yun was gone, she remained silent for a moment before acting as usual.

"Your Majesty, Prince Cheng has arrived."

Upon hearing the maid's message, Consort Hui, who was leaning against the chaise longue, slowly opened her eyes. "Let him in."

Prince Cheng rushed in, shouting, "Mother, the otherworldly beings have wiped out the Yun family! What should we do?"

Consort Hui remained leaning against the wall. Upon hearing this, she lightly rebuked, "Don't talk nonsense. The Yun family still has Ancestor Yun, Patriarch Yun, and Second Master Yun."

King Cheng sat down on a chair to the side, looking at his mother's leisurely appearance, and became extremely anxious.

"Mother, aren't you afraid at all?"

Consort Hui sat up, her gaze towards Prince Cheng filled with helplessness. How could someone as intelligent as her have given birth to such a dim-witted child?

"Mother, don't be afraid!" Her tone was firm, which calmed even the panicked Prince Cheng considerably.

"Mother, do you have any way to deal with the people from other worlds?"

Consort Hui wanted to shake her head, but seeing her son's excited expression, she slowly nodded.

Prince Cheng, Zhu Sisheng, became even more excited. He stood up and leaned close to her, "Mother, tell me quickly, how exactly should we deal with the otherworldly beings?"

Consort Hui glared at him, "This is a secret, you mustn't go around spreading rumors."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Sisheng nodded quickly, "Mother, don't worry, I won't tell."

Consort Hui took his hand and patted it, saying, "My son, don't be afraid. Others may get into trouble, but you will definitely be fine."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Sisheng breathed a sigh of relief. Since his mother said so, then nothing would happen.

After all, his mother was no ordinary person.

Finally, Zhu Sisheng returned to his residence with light steps.

After Zhu Sisheng left, Consort Hui continued to leisurely lie on the chaise longue.

People from another world?

She was truly unafraid because her precognitive dream foresaw the final future: her son would be the emperor, and she would be the empress dowager.

Since they were able to survive until that time, it's likely that the otherworldly beings had already been dealt with.

Consort Hui smiled slightly, her expression content as she thought about her extraordinary encounter.

When she was six years old, for some unknown reason, she suddenly began to have precognitive dreams.

Of course, she didn't know it was a precognitive dream at first; she just thought it was an ordinary dream.

But later, the events in her dream repeated themselves in reality, and she told her mother about them out of fear.

After hearing this, her mother warned her not to tell anyone else.

She was very obedient and didn't tell anyone except her mother. Gradually, she grew to be ten years old.

On her tenth birthday, she had a very special dream.

The scene in my dream was Sheng'er ascending the throne and her being named Empress Dowager.

She was overjoyed and told her mother about it, and her mother was also very happy.

Next, they arranged for the best nanny to teach her manners and everything else she could learn.

His mother even spent a lot of money to buy Zhu Yihua's preferences when he was not yet the emperor.

She even met Zhu Yihua beforehand through a precognitive dream, thus cultivating a relationship in advance.

To deepen their relationship, she knew that looks and talent alone were not enough, so she subtly told him some of the things she had seen in her dream.

With her reminder, he successfully resolved the conflict with his other brothers vying for the throne.

From then on, she held an additional position in his heart: strategist.

But thirteen years ago, for some unknown reason, she never had a precognitive dream again.

However, she didn't care, because she was living a happy and carefree life, and it didn't matter if she didn't have precognitive dreams.

All she needed to know was that her son would ascend the throne and she would become the Empress Dowager.

As for the lack of precognitive dreams, and the inability to offer advice to the emperor, would he fall out of favor?

There's no need to worry about this at all. The emperor is different now. He has been on the throne for many years and is even more protective of his power. No matter how much he loves her, he will not like women interfering in politics.

Therefore, her lack of advice or suggestions made him feel that she was sensible.
