A dark villain came to Jinting Bulaoxiang

In the towering palace, Emperor Yuxuan had a gloomy face, and his heart was like an endless raging wave. The Northland, the land that had once given him so much headaches, was actually recovered by his son Sikong Yan, who had always been regarded as weak and incompetent.

This made Emperor Yuxuan feel extremely aggrieved and resentful. He was the supreme emperor. "Humph, how could that good-for-nothing have such luck!"

Emperor Yuxuan roared in his heart. He could never have imagined that his son, who seemed like he would die at any moment, could actually win such a beautiful victory in the North. This dealt a great blow to his self-esteem.

This gave rise to an uncontrollable jealousy in his heart. Why could the weak son whom he once looked down upon achieve such brilliant achievements, while he, as the emperor, did not have such dazzling achievements?

"All this should be my glory!" Emperor Yuxuan thought jealously, and this jealousy gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake.

In the hall, the faces of the ministers were filled with joy. They all eagerly hoped that the young prince would return to the court as soon as possible, so that the whole country could celebrate this great victory. However, what they didn't know was that the anger in Emperor Yuxuan's heart was almost uncontrollable.

Emperor Yuxuan sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, looking coldly at every minister, thinking bitterly in his heart: I will never let Sikong Yan return to the capital with this glory, I want him to continue to suffer in that distant north.

At this time, a minister stepped forward cautiously and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Highness has made great achievements in this battle, and he should return to the capital to receive the reward."

When Emperor Yuxuan heard this, his eyes widened in anger and he roared, "How dare you! I have my own arrangements!" The minister turned pale with fear and quickly retreated.

Seeing this, other ministers also pleaded for mercy, hoping that the young prince could return to the capital to enjoy the honor he deserved. They proposed that General Xiao be stationed in the north, which would not only ensure the stability of the north, but also allow the young prince to return to the capital with Si Zhe. However, how could the tyrant Emperor Yuxuan listen to them?

As the ministers' pleas echoed in the hall, Emperor Yuxuan's face became more gloomy and terrifying, and his cruel nature was instantly revealed. He slammed the dragon throne and shouted loudly: "Shut up! I have made up my mind. Anyone who dares to plead for mercy will be killed without mercy!"

For a moment, the hall fell into deathly silence, with only Emperor Yuxuan's angry breathing echoing in the air.

The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if frost could condense at any time. Emperor Yuxuan was on the verge of a rage at this moment, his eyes were like burning flames, staring at the old man Qi below. Because the old man Qi had just spoken and called Sikong Yan the prince.

"How dare you, Lord Qi, say that my son is the crown prince, and that he won a victory in the Northland with a small force at a young age, and that he is the most prestigious heir to the Great Zong Kingdom!" Emperor Yuxuan roared in anger, and the sound seemed to shatter the entire palace. He raised his hand high, and was about to reach out to Lord Qi, as if he was going to take his life in the next second.

At this time, Qi Ge Lao's face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. He secretly complained in his heart, regretting that he had spoken too quickly and angered the emperor so much.

At this critical moment, a refreshing floral scent drifted in from outside the Golden Palace. The floral scent seemed to have magical power, instantly calming Emperor Yuxuan's furious heart.

The tyrant's evil hands slowly retracted as if under a spell. Emperor Yuxuan felt a wonderful sense of comfort in his heart, as if he was gently caressed by a warm spring. The ferocious and violent expression on his face also gradually eased and disappeared like a tide, replaced by a subtle doubt.

"Your Majesty, the first secret to longevity is not to get angry..." A soft and gentle voice sounded in the hall. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Concubine Wan walking in gracefully with light steps. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, and her long hair like a waterfall was adorned with exquisite hair accessories. Her beautiful face looked even more charming and beautiful under the candlelight.

Concubine Wan had a gentle smile on her face, and that smile seemed to melt people's hearts. She walked to Emperor Yuxuan's side with lotus steps, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's not good for your health to be angry." Emperor Yuxuan looked at Concubine Wan in front of him, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot unconsciously. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Humph, this Lord Qi really makes me mad!" Emperor Yuxuan said with his remaining anger.

Concubine Wan gently held Emperor Yuxuan's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Lord Qi just spoke out of turn. Please forgive him this time." Emperor Yuxuan frowned. Although he was still a little unhappy in his heart, he nodded after seeing Concubine Wan's pleading eyes.

"Forget it, let's spare his life today." Emperor Yuxuan said.

Qi Ge Lao was as if he had been pardoned, and he immediately knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Seeing this, Concubine Wan smiled with satisfaction. She took an exquisite wine pot from the hand of the palace maid beside her and said softly to Emperor Yuxuan: "Your Majesty, I have specially brewed fruit wine for you, please try it." As she said that, she handed the wine pot to Emperor Yuxuan.

Emperor Yuxuan took the wine pot and opened the lid. A strong fruity aroma immediately hit his nose. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and an intoxicated look appeared on his face.

"Mm, it smells so good." Emperor Yuxuan praised.

Concubine Wan smiled and said, "This is a secret recipe I made myself. Your Majesty, please try it and see how it tastes." Emperor Yuxuan took a sip of the fruit wine. The sweet and mellow taste spread in his mouth, making him feel more comfortable.

"Haha, good wine, really good wine!" Emperor Yuxuan laughed. Concubine Wan looked at Emperor Yuxuan's happy expression and was also filled with joy.

She thought to herself, "As long as it can make His Majesty happy, I am willing to do anything."

Emperor Yuxuan put down the wine pot, took Concubine Wan into his arms, and said softly: "My beloved concubine understands my heart best."

Concubine Wan blushed and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you always make fun of me." Emperor Yuxuan looked at Concubine Wan's coquettish look and couldn't help but kiss her on the face. "Haha, my Concubine Wan is really a beauty."

Emperor Yuxuan smiled triumphantly. At this moment, Emperor Yuxuan had already thrown away his anger, and only his love and pampering for Concubine Wan remained in his heart. Concubine Wan also snuggled in Emperor Yuxuan's arms, feeling the emperor's warmth and love.

In the Golden Throne Hall, the tense atmosphere had long since dissipated, replaced by a warm and sweet atmosphere. Seeing the emperor and Concubine Wan being so affectionate, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that as long as Concubine Wan was there, the emperor would not be in a bad mood, and their lives would be better.

However, Emperor Yuxuan still had a gloom in his heart. He thought of what Qi Ge Lao had just said, and a feeling of jealousy surged in his heart.

He thought to himself: "My son won a victory in the north and is indeed a meritorious official of the Great Zong Kingdom. But he is still young after all. How can he be said to be the most prestigious heir?" The more Emperor Yuxuan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and his face gradually became gloomy.

Concubine Wan noticed the change in Emperor Yuxuan. She was startled and asked quickly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?"

Emperor Yuxuan shook his head and said, "It's not your problem. I just thought of something."

Concubine Wan looked at Emperor Yuxuan, her eyes full of concern: "Your Majesty, please tell me whatever is bothering you. I am willing to share your burden." Emperor Yuxuan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out what was in his mind.
