Then, she took off into the air again like a light bird and quickly flew away from the prosperous and bustling city of Chang'an.

She seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and involuntarily went to other areas to explore the truth.

In this way, she traveled throughout the great dynasty at the peak of its prosperity in a peculiar soul form.

It is no wonder that people in later generations are proud of this period, because during this period, the common people lived the most peaceful and comfortable days.

. . . . . .

"Wait a minute! Could that emperor be the one who, if he had died earlier, would have been considered a perfect monarch?"

At this moment, such a sentence suddenly emerged in Hua Ningyao's mind, so let's infer it accordingly.

Could it be that what she was about to see next was... the legendary: a lecherous father-in-law forcibly taking possession of his beautiful daughter-in-law?

Don't blame her for her rude words, because she has already guessed who the handsome man and pretty lady she just saw are.

Who in the world would be willing to give up her handsome and considerate husband, who is the son of a wealthy family, and instead devote herself to an old man who is almost fifty years old and is obsessed with lust?

Even though this old man is the emperor and rules the world, he still exudes a disgusting aura of old age!

Her original husband was not a poor man, and she would not have to endure hardships in living with him.

Which woman would be willing to commit herself to an old man?

"My Lord, by giving up a mere woman, you can inherit the throne smoothly. Isn't it a great thing?"

At this moment, Hua Ningyao was looking forward to having a glimpse of her favorite poet, imagining what kind of peerless elegance the poet possessed.

However, her beautiful dream was shattered in an instant, and she was unexpectedly dragged back to reality by a force. She stood speechlessly outside the study door, holding her breath and listening to the sounds inside the room, then turned her head to glance at the beauty beside her who was also eavesdropping at the door.

"But she is my first wife after all."

. . . . . .

Haha, the word "finally" has already shown that his heart is moved. Hua Ningyao couldn't help but roll her eyes. The throne is indeed of vital importance.

"She is just a woman. You are still young and if you insist on keeping her by your side, it will definitely bring endless troubles to the Shou Palace. It is better to bear the pain and let her go."

"Absolutely not! How will the world view me if I act like this?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Just send her to a Taoist temple on the pretext that she has a connection with the gods. After a few years, who will remember that she is the Princess of Shou?"

"That's not impossible. Maybe by then the emperor won't be interested in her anymore, and I can just take her back."

The man's heart was obviously stirred, but he didn't want to be seen as a heartless and ungrateful person, so he made up such a far-fetched reason to hide his true feelings. I don't know who he was trying to deceive.

"Your Majesty is truly wise!"

The woman standing by the door had already burst into tears. She turned around and left silently, as if no one had ever noticed that she had been here.

On that night...the man gently pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw the beautiful figure illuminated by the light, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

"Princess, what are you doing?"

He took two steps forward, but was surprised to find that the woman in front of him was still staring at the mirror in a daze, so he hurried forward, put his arms around her shoulders, and asked in a soft voice.

. . . . . .

However, the woman did not respond, and continued to stare at herself in the mirror, like a sculpture without a soul. Seeing this, the man continued to speak self-righteously.

"Could it be that the princess is worried about her father's will?"

But even so, the woman remained silent. Seeing this, the man mistakenly thought he had guessed her thoughts correctly. A smile immediately appeared on his face and he comforted her.

"Don't worry, I have come up with a good plan, but I may need to trouble you to leave the mansion for a while."

"I do."

Suddenly, the woman answered without any warning, her voice clear and firm. The man was stunned and at a loss for a moment. He blurted out the answer like a conditioned reflex.

"I have not yet said..."

"I said I promised."

She slowly closed her eyes, as if she wanted to shut out all the pain and disappointment. From the moment he opened his mouth, a glimmer of heartbreaking despair flashed across the depths of the woman's eyes. It was not only a complete giving up on this relationship, but also a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Did you hear some rumors? Those are just fabrications made up by ignorant servants!"

He seemed to suddenly realize that he had said the wrong thing, and there was a hint of panic in his words. However, the woman just turned her head away silently, with no emotion on her face and an unusually calm tone.

"I am willing to go to the Taoist temple to practice, and I am also willing to serve in the palace, but please remember, don't even think about using me for your own benefit."

That's right, just now, there were other people talking behind the scenes, persuading His Royal Highness Prince Shou to calm the princess down and show as much affection as possible, so that in the future they could use her to say a few good words for him in front of the Emperor.

Hua Ningyao's beautiful eyes were flashing with undisguised contempt at this moment, she thought to herself.

Humph, it is really so! When power and status are in front of you, how many people can really give them up?

Once upon a time, they, the royal family members, had sneered at those male favorites who were willing to devote themselves to the empress just for a few benefits. Now it seems that everyone is just the pot calling the kettle black.

Look at this, with the temptation of the throne, he can even give up his wife. If his father fell in love with him and told him that he would give him the throne as long as he slept with him, he would definitely be happy to do so.

Not to mention that these men originally came from poor families, now there is such a great opportunity to completely change their identity and status before them, unless they are stupid idiots, how could they not be willing to do it?

As the saying goes, young people don't understand the magic of rich women! It's not just as simple as allowing them to work less for ten years. You have to know that the wealth flowing from the hands of the rich woman is enough to make them not have to work hard for their entire lives!

"you......"

The man's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he had been slapped hard in the face.
