The next day, news that the emperor's headache had eased spread throughout the capital.

The ministers, who used to be trembling with fear, began to have different thoughts when they saw the emperor, who had recently become amiable.

They had previously prevented their daughter from entering the palace because they feared she would be abused to death by this tyrant.

Things are different now. Now that the Emperor's headaches have subsided, can't they...?

With only Liu Jiaojiao as the only woman in the harem, the emperor must be incredibly lonely, right?

Men, they know what I mean.

So, at the morning court session the following day, the elderly Grand Tutor took that step.

"Does the Grand Tutor mean that he wants me to take more concubines?" Helan Xiao asked calmly, but his expression was dark.

Grand Tutor was secretly pleased that he did not sense Helan Xiao's anger.

He felt he had made the right move.

“Indeed, it is the emperor’s responsibility to have many children and grandchildren,” the Grand Tutor said, neither humble nor arrogant.

He Lanxiao remained silent.

He seems to have been too lenient lately, making his restless ministers forget how cruel he can be.

纳妃?

Why haven't I heard them mention this before?

It's only because they heard his headaches have subsided and he's no longer losing his temper and reason that these guys are so eager to make a move.

He was well aware of the methods used by these civil officials.

If he disagrees with taking a concubine, they will spread the fact that Empress Liu Jiaojiao is jealous.

Then he would put pressure on Liu Jiaojiao, forcing her to agree to his taking a concubine.

He had originally thought that with his headaches somewhat relieved, he could become a wise ruler.

He would absolutely disagree if it meant abandoning Liu Jiaojiao's wishes to preserve his reputation as a wise ruler.

In retrospect, it seems that being a tyrant would have suited him better.

He was always shouting for violence, and only Liu Jiaojiao could suppress him.

With this word spreading, probably no one would dare to enter the palace; they would even have to be grateful to Liu Jiaojiao.

As for being infamous for eternity?

Ha, by then he would probably have been reincarnated five or six times already, who would care?

Moreover, although he was very violent, he was indeed doing practical things for the people.

History has never been written by those pedantic civil officials.

If he does well, even if his reputation is terrible, the people will still respect him.

So, he should just go back to being that tyrant!

"What if I disagree?" Helan Xiao said slowly and deliberately.

The Grand Tutor bowed slightly: "Then this humble subject has no choice but to prove his innocence with his death."

"Fine, then die." He Lanxiao smiled slightly.

Before the Grand Tutor could react, Helan Xiao pierced his body with a dagger.

The Grand Tutor fell into a pool of blood, dying with his eyes wide open.

He Lanxiao stopped laughing and resumed his usual imposing demeanor: "Who else agrees with what the Grand Tutor said?"

The people below looked at each other, and no one dared to utter a sound.

They did not expect that the emperor's violent temper would not be relieved at all, but would become even more severe.

Seeing that no one spoke, Helan Xiao slowly said:

"Okay, remember your choice now."

"My headaches have not been cured; they only improve when I stay by the Empress's side."

"I advise you not to test my patience."

After He Lanxiao finished speaking, he gave Eunuch Wang a look.

"If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court is adjourned," said Eunuch Wang in a shrill voice.

The morning court session ended just like that.

The tyrant Helan Xiao's reputation spread throughout the country.

To their relief, Empress Liu Jiaojiao was there to keep this tyrant in check.

Otherwise, they are really scared!

*

Three months later.

"Jiaojiao, there's another plot point today."

246 helped Liu Jiaojiao carry the lychees while speaking in a flattering tone.

Liu Jiaojiao chewed on a lychee like a hamster, asking, "What plot point?"

"The fact that Bai Tian entered He Lanxiao's face terrified you."

"You deliberately went to find fault with Bai Tian today, and He Lanxiao saw it."

"He thought you were a wicked woman, so he put you under house arrest."

Liu Jiaojiao was silent for a moment, then asked, "246, where is Bai Tian now?"

In the past three months, she has never seen a man appear beside He Lanxiao.

246: ...

"Jiaojiao, I'll go out and look for her."

246 finished speaking and quickly flew away.

It's been living too comfortably for the past three months, and it's even forgotten to keep an eye on Bai Tian's condition!

246 looked left and right.

Eunuchs, eunuchs, male guards...

Why isn't there a single woman here!

It seems that in the entire palace, only Jiao Jiao has a maidservant by her side.

Well... surely there must be palace maids serving tea?

246 ran to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and stared intently at Helan Xiao.

He Lanxiao seemed to sense something, and he slightly raised his hand: "Tea."

A burly, imposing guard walked in, looking quite dashing.

He held the small teapot in his broad hands, looking somewhat aggrieved.

246: ...

Oh no, the female lead has disappeared!!!

246 returned to Liu Jiaojiao's side in despair: "Jiaojiao, I can't find it."

Liu Jiaojiao didn't care at all. She crossed her legs and gave a nonchalant "oh".

Anyway, it's not her fault that Bai Tian is missing.

246 whimpered for a long time, but Liu Jiaojiao didn't comfort it.

Fortunately, it's thick-skinned and went over to ask for comfort.

Anyway, Bai Tian's disappearance has nothing to do with it, and the main system cannot destroy it!

Liu Jiaojiao squeezed 246's soft body: "Bai Tian is gone, so let's not do the mission?"

Feeling the soft, warm hand, 246 readily agreed, "Okay!"

"So, 246, will you still get any points like this?"

Liu Jiaojiao remembered that 246 had said that it needed points to upgrade itself.

"I have no points," 246 said, sounding aggrieved.

Because the subsequent tasks cannot be completed, it will not receive any points.

However, since it's not its problem, the main system cannot destroy it because of this.

Moreover, perhaps because Jiaojiao always stayed by the male lead's side, it had accumulated a lot of merit.

You could say it was a blessing in disguise!

Seeing 246's gloomy appearance, Liu Jiaojiao bent down and kissed it:

"Don't be sad, 246."

246:! ! !

246 was dizzy and didn't expect Jiaojiao to kiss it!

That's true, whether or not it's upgraded isn't that important.

As long as it's with Jiaojiao, that's fine!

One month ago.

Bai Tian, ​​who was not found by 246, has been diligently cleaning the toilet in the latrine.

After she was dragged away by the guards last time, the steward sent her to this place.

The reason given was that she was extremely disrespectful to the emperor.

The steward also said that it was already a miracle she wasn't beaten to death on the spot.

Bai Tian tried to resist at first, but it was completely useless.

Gradually, she accepted this fact.

Once an innocent and naive 21st-century girl, she is now forced to scrub chamber pots in this rigidly structured imperial palace just to survive.

The girl who once carried a faint fragrance is now left to spend her days surrounded by excrement.

But she couldn't stop, because she still had to work hard for her penny of wages for the day.

Bai Tian started crying as she was scrolling.

Ancient times were not good at all; she wanted to go home.

The main system, which was passing by, sighed when it saw the female protagonist in such a miserable state.

It saw that the plot of this dimension was chaotic, but it didn't expect it to be chaotic to this extent.

This innocent girl didn't do anything immoral.

So it waved its hand, and Bai Tian returned to that wonderful 21st century.

This is also why you can't find Bai Tian in 246.

He Lanxiao and Liu Jiaojiao were always loving and devoted to each other until old age.

They gave birth to a pair of intelligent and adorable twins, a boy and a girl.

The elder brother, Helan Chun, became the next emperor, and the younger sister, Liu Ping'an, became a valiant female general.

Helan Xiao, bearing the infamy of a tyrant, was buried alongside the Empress, who was praised by all.
