Different from the lively and peaceful here.

The news that the villagers of Daxi Village were rescued and brought back to Daxi Village has been passed back to the ears of Emperor Xuanyuan.

Emperor Xuanyuan was furious. He overturned the table while having a meal.

With the sound of plates breaking, the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the hall fell to their knees.

The guard who came to report the news was so frightened that he knelt on the ground trembling all over, trying hard to reduce his presence, for fear that Emperor Xuanyuan would vent his anger on him.

"What a Shangguan Xiong! It was not wrong to say that he was plotting a rebellion! He is already a commoner, yet he actually has someone helping him behind the scenes, or..."

As Emperor Xuanyuan spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and more and more gloomy, with raging rage rolling in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour everything in this world.

Originally, he just found an excuse to exile the Shangguan family. After all, the Shangguan family had been loyal for generations, and the whole family was full of loyal heroes. They had an excellent reputation among the people. Everyone said that if there were no Shangguan family, there would be no peace in the Xuanyuan Dynasty today.

Hum! What a joke!

Whether a dynasty is peaceful or not depends on the emperor!

His achievements were so great that he didn't kill them all, which was already a mercy. Although he also wanted to wipe out the Shangguan family, but...

"Your Majesty, who made you so angry?" A clear female voice came from outside the palace.

The next second, a slender lavender figure entered Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes.

Emperor Xuanyuan, who was originally furious, dissipated a lot of his anger after seeing the newcomer, and a smile appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and greeted him: "My beloved, you are back."

Concubine Zhao looked at the emperor who came to greet her. Not only did she not salute, she also stretched out her hand as if it was nothing special, allowing Emperor Xuanyuan to put one arm around her waist and hold her outstretched hand tightly with the other hand.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a lot of things happened in the palace during the time I was praying?" Concubine Zhao followed Emperor Xuanyuan's footsteps and walked towards the couch, and mentioned it casually.

"Hmph, don't mention it. Ever since the Shangguan family was exiled, nothing has gone as planned. Could it be that the Shangguan family is still blessed by the gods?" Emperor Xuanyuan did not care about Concubine Zhao's transgression. Instead, he complained to her hatefully.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. You are the true dragon emperor. The gods bless you, but the Shangguan family is nothing to you!" When Concubine Zhao mentioned the Shangguan family, she frowned and looked jealous.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Qingyuan Mansion and was only nineteen years old this year.

Before the Shangguan family encountered trouble, she and Shangguan Yao were recognized as close friends in the capital. Shangguan Yao also regarded her as a close sister and relied on her a lot.

However, she never regarded Shangguan Yao as her sister and approached her, firstly because she wanted to take advantage of her close relationship with her to get more attention in the mansion, and secondly because she wanted to take advantage of her good relationship with her to get close to Shangguan Yunjing.

But, for some reason, no matter how close Shangguan Yao was to him, Shangguan Yunjing would ignore him, but he would be warm and welcoming to Shangguan Yao's other friends.

Moreover, she saw how much the Shangguan family doted on Shangguan Yao. Although she was the legitimate daughter of the marquisate, she had never experienced such doting at home.

His father brought concubines into the house one after another, and he had more than twenty half-brothers and sisters.

My mother is my father's original wife. She is old and ugly, and can never compare with those beautiful concubines. My father hasn't been to my mother's room for many years.

And those vixens would often try to please him in front of his father, causing him to either be punished or have his food and clothing deducted.

Fortunately, she later hooked up with Shangguan Yao and had the daughter of the General's Mansion as her close friend, so her father began to pay a little attention to her. Her food, clothing, housing and transportation improved a little.

He was afraid that the news of him favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife would get out.

But why!

They are both noble ladies from prominent families, so why is it that Shangguan Yao can be pampered at home while she has to rely on outsiders to avoid being bullied at home!

Why!
