Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

“I wonder how Father's injury really is…”

Although I sent away the First Prince and vented my anger today, Qin Keqing couldn't be happy.

Her father, far away on the frontier, had his injuries worsen, and the specific situation was unknown.

Even if his injury was very serious, he wouldn't tell her the truth.

“Qin Yu, Cui'er, you may leave first. I have something to say to your Princess.”

Qin Yu and Cui'er looked at Qin Keqing almost simultaneously upon hearing this.

“Go ahead, listen to Young Master Yuan Chu.”

Qin Keqing nodded. After Qin Yu and Cui'er left, she asked, “Young Master Yuan Chu, why did you need to send Qin Yu and Cui'er away?”

“It's about your father's matter.

Although Qin Yu and Cui'er are both trusted aides by your side, it's best not to let them know some things.

It's true that your father's injury has worsened, but it shouldn't be as serious as you think, so don't worry too much.”

“Did Young Master Yuan Chu receive the latest news about my father?”

“That's right. The news I received is that your father's injury was deliberately done.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Keqing was stunned for a moment. “Can Young Master confirm this news?”

“The news I received is absolutely reliable, Princess, there is no need to doubt it.”

“In that case, I'm relieved.” Qin Keqing said with a thoughtful expression, “In that case, Father is trying to send the wrong information to the Liang Emperor and the court officials. Could it be that Father wants to…”

“Yes, your father's purpose is obviously to test the Liang Emperor to see what they will do and to what extent they will go.”

“Alas, Father's persistence has finally begun to waver…”

Qin Keqing's sigh contained too much.

For so many years, the Qin Royal Mansion has been the Liang Emperor's support, but also a thorn in his side.

As the dynasty's national power continues to rise, and many new generals are cultivated, the Liang Emperor's determination to deal with the Qin Royal Mansion has become increasingly strong.

Although Qin Keqing is a woman, she doesn't want to sit still and wait for the Liang Emperor to push the Qin Royal Mansion into the abyss.

In the past, she had many concerns and couldn't launch a counterattack, and her words and actions were restricted.

Now it's different.

Since Father has already begun to waver, then she doesn't need to have any more concerns.

“Princess, write a letter to your father, asking him to request military pay from the Liang Emperor on the grounds that the frontier wars are consuming a huge amount, the more the better.

The Liang Emperor must allocate the military pay within a month.”

“Young Master Yuan Chu, what is the purpose of doing this?”

Qin Keqing was full of doubts, why did he suddenly want the Liang Emperor to allocate military pay.

“To treat your father's old ailment.”

“Ah?”

Qin Keqing was stunned at first, and after a little thought, she seemed to understand his intention, “Does Young Master mean to weaken the dynasty's national treasury?”

“That's right.”

“But I'm afraid this will have little effect.

The dynasty's national treasury is abundant, with a deep foundation, and a continuous stream of income.

Although military pay is a huge sum, it won't hurt the Liang Emperor's foundation.

After all, at the beginning of each year, the dynasty's military expenditure has a pre-budget, and reserve military funds are set aside.

Allocating military pay, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Liang Emperor to use the reserve funds.”

“Doing this doesn't require the Liang Emperor to necessarily use the reserve funds.

As long as this batch of military pay is allocated, then it will be in the hands of the frontier army, and the Liang Emperor will not be able to use it for emergencies.

I still have other ways to temporarily weaken the Liang Emperor's financial resources.

Next month, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion will auction rare immortal treasures that can treat your father's old ailment.

Only by weakening the Liang Emperor's financial resources to a certain extent can we suppress the royal family in the auction and win the immortal treasures.”

“What method does Young Master Yuan Chu plan to use?”

Qin Keqing was very curious and felt it was a bit of a fantasy.

She knew too much about the royal family's foundation.

Wanting to compete with the ruler of a country in terms of financial resources, in this entire Northwest Region, except for the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, no other force has that strength.

Unless the Great Zhen and Great Yan unite.

Relying solely on the Qin Royal Mansion, even if the royal family's financial resources are depleted a lot, it is basically impossible to compete.

“You will know slowly.”

Jun Wuxie didn't say what method he was going to use.

He was worried that if he said it, it would cause Qin Keqing's concern.

…

After Jun Wuxie separated from Qin Keqing, he returned to the residence arranged by the Royal Mansion.

At the same time, in the imperial palace's imperial study, the First Prince, with a swollen face, was adding fuel to the fire in front of the Liang Emperor, saying how arrogant Yuan Chu was, not taking the royal family seriously, and even not taking the Liang Emperor seriously.

The Liang Emperor was a middle-aged man who looked very refined, but he had the majesty of a superior.

At this time, he looked at the injury on the First Prince's face, and his expression became extremely ugly.

Especially after hearing what the First Prince said, he was even more furious.

“Father, you must avenge your son!

That Yuan Chu is too arrogant, what does he think of our Great Liang?

Your son is the eldest prince of Great Liang, being humiliated by him like this, where is the face of our Great Liang royal family!”

“Enough!”

The Liang Emperor shouted in a deep voice and waved his hand, “You may leave first, don't provoke that Yuan Chu these days!”

“Father!”

“Can't you understand what I said?”

“No, your son wouldn't dare!”

The First Prince shrank his neck and hurriedly said, “Then your son will take his leave.”

After saying that, he hurriedly withdrew from the imperial study.

“Jinyun Immortal Sect, personally taught by the Supreme Elder, Yuan Chu…

Relying on his identity and the sect behind him, what great prestige, bullying my Great Liang royal family.

Since that's the case, then you will stay in Great Liang forever!”

A cold light flashed in the Liang Emperor's eyes, “Someone!”

A black figure suddenly appeared in a certain corner.

That person walked out of the darkness and knelt on the ground, “Please give your orders, Your Majesty!”

“Go to the Southwest Region, find out the situation, and see if that Yuan Chu has enemies in the Jinyun Immortal Sect.

Jinyun Immortal Sect, the disciples of this generation have been controlled by Hua Feiyu all these years.

Now suddenly there is such a Yuan Chu.

This person has been in the limelight recently.

If he hasn't submitted to Hua Feiyu, then that is a point we can use.

This Emperor cannot kill him, then let Hua Feiyu's people kill him!”

A ruthless look appeared on the corner of the Liang Emperor's mouth.

“Yes!”

That black figure suddenly disappeared.

“Yuan Chu, you were staying well in the Southwest Region, why did you have to run to my Great Liang.

And appear in the Qin Royal Mansion, helping Qin Keqing.

How can I let you go!

A personally taught disciple of a top-tier Dao lineage, so what?

What if his master is the Supreme Elder of a top-tier Dao lineage, whose strength is unfathomable?

Sometimes, when facing such an opponent, it is not necessary to personally confront him, use wisdom, borrow a knife to kill, and you don't have to get into any trouble.

When the time comes, that Yuan Chu will die at the hands of others, and it will have nothing to do with Great Liang.

No matter how powerful his master is, what can he do, there is no reason to bring his anger down on Great Liang.

…”

At this time, the Liang Emperor was full of gloom, making the imperial study become a bit cold.

He was extremely confident.

So what if he is a personally taught disciple of a top-tier Dao lineage?

So what if his master is the Supreme Elder of a top-tier Dao lineage, whose strength is unfathomable?

Sometimes, when facing such an opponent, it is not necessary to personally confront him, use wisdom, borrow a knife to kill, and you don't have to get into any trouble.

When the time comes, that Yuan Chu will die at the hands of others, and it will have nothing to do with Great Liang.

No matter how powerful his master is, what can he do, there is no reason to bring his anger down on Great Liang.

…

Night fell, the sky darkened, and a full moon hung in the sky, scattering bright moonlight.

Jun Wuxie, who was sitting on the bed, thinking about the details of the next plan, suddenly saw a beautiful figure in front of the bed.

“Senior Sister, you're here. Did the people from Immortal Treasure Pavilion give you all the immortal treasures?”

“When you see Senior Sister, is the only thing you think about immortal treasures?”

Jinse was a little unhappy. She sat down by the bed, and a space bag appeared in her hand. She threw it at Jun Wuxie, “Take it, the immortal medicine you've been thinking about.”

“Senior Sister, what are you saying? How can immortal medicine be more important than Senior Sister in my heart?”

Jun Wuxie smiled and put the space bag aside.

“Really?”

Jinse suddenly lay down next to him, propping her chin with one hand, staring at him at close range.

Jun Wuxie was stunned. The Senior Sister Jinse at this time was different from any other time.

But he was very gratified that Senior Sister had such a change.

It showed that when she was with him, there were no more worries in her heart.

He had always known that Senior Sister Jinse had always had a sense of restraint deep in her heart because of his previous life's identity.

This was what he didn't want to see.

But he couldn't say it directly, because this kind of thing couldn't be eliminated with just a few words.

“This kind of Senior Sister is very good.”

Jun Wuxie looked at Jinse's stunning face at close range, “I hope Senior Sister can always be like this in the future, without any restraint.

In my heart, you are one of the most important people to me.

No matter what my identity is, these are not important between us and should not become your restraint.”

“Senior Sister also thinks so. From the moment you opened Senior Sister's heart little by little, and Senior Sister's life was renewed, Senior Sister has regarded you as the closest person in this life and is willing to be close to you.

However, every time I'm with you, Senior Sister always feels a little uncomfortable…

Now it's fine, Senior Sister won't be restrained anymore.

Just like you said, no matter who you were before, what identity you have, it's not important!”

“Senior Sister is right to think so.”

Jun Wuxie reached out and brushed away a few strands of hair that were sticking to her face, and smiled, “Senior Sister, who has completely opened the shackles in her heart, has become a bit more beautiful than before.”

“Does Junior Brother really think Senior Sister is beautiful?”

Qinse is very confident in her beauty.

A hundred thousand years ago, she was not only the strongest in talent, but her beauty was also unmatched.

The women of the Phantom Sound Sect have always been very outstanding in beauty.

What's more, she is also the Holy Maiden of Tianyin Peak.

But after hearing Jun Wuxie say this, Jinse didn't have any confidence at all.

She suddenly became insecure.

It should be said that she had always lacked confidence in front of him, whether in her talent or her beauty.

She had seen several female emperors by his side, each of whom was in no way inferior to her in terms of talent and appearance.

He also had so many imperial concubines, Yue Yao and Mu Ciyin were even beautiful beyond words.

There were too many women around Junior Brother, each of them a rare chosen daughter of heaven since ancient times, all of them amazingly talented and beautiful, with celestial appearances that could overturn the world.

He had seen too much beauty in the world, and he possessed too much of it.

With her appearance, even if she was a female emperor, she was probably nothing more than that in his eyes.

"What is Senior Sister saying..."

Jun Wuxie was stunned by her questioning words.

"Senior Sister, don't you know what you look like?

If your appearance doesn't count as beautiful, then throughout history, I'm afraid there are few women who would dare to call themselves beautiful.

Senior Sister, as a dignified female emperor, why are you so insecure?"

"Senior Sister's confidence only exists in front of others, only in front of you does she lack confidence.

People are afraid of comparisons.

Which of the women around you has a worse appearance than Senior Sister?"

"The beauty of the women around me does not conflict with Senior Sister's beauty.

Senior Sister, aren't you also one of the women around me?"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but laugh, "A female emperor is actually insecure about her appearance.

If this were to spread out, I'm afraid everyone in the world would be shocked."

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister thinks she might be sick..."

Jinse turned over and lay flat, her beautiful eyes looking at the top of the bed, letting out a sigh full of complex emotions.

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know, anyway, Senior Sister feels that her psychology..."

Jinse stopped talking here, she just hugged Jun Wuxie's arm and said softly: "In the future, no matter where we go, can Senior Sister follow you?"

"Of course, as long as Senior Sister is willing, anytime, anywhere, you can."

Jinse turned her head to stare at him, "Junior Brother, you must remember every word you said to Senior Sister.

You must not lie to Senior Sister in any sentence, and do not fabricate kind lies to take care of Senior Sister's temporary emotions..."

"Senior Sister, do you know what you look like right now?"

Jun Wuxie suddenly smiled, looking at her from such a close distance.

"Like what?"

"Like a little girl who is anxious about gain and loss."

"Senior Sister doesn't want to be like this either, but I don't know why, sometimes I have a psychology of gain and loss.

As an Emperor Realm powerhouse, I shouldn't be like this, how can there be such strong fluctuations in my state of mind.

Therefore, Senior Sister said that she is sick.

Sometimes, Senior Sister clearly knows that she can't, shouldn't, but can't control herself..."

"This is not a disease, it is a normal psychology, which is related to Senior Sister's past experiences and living environment.

My appearance in Senior Sister's world, perhaps some things have already been destined.

If Senior Sister didn't have those experiences back then, there would be no such state of mind at this time.

I understand, and I can understand."

"Junior Brother, you don't understand, even Senior Sister herself doesn't understand..."

In fact, Senior Sister knows that Senior Sister and Junior Brother shouldn't be so intimate, but Senior Sister just wants to be close to you, every time she is with you, she always wants to get close to you, stick to you, that's why she always holds your arm..."

But Senior Sister also understands in her heart that I am your Senior Sister, not your woman, and I shouldn't be like this..."

But Senior Sister can't help it, she always covets the feeling of being close to you.

Every time I stick to you, Senior Sister's heart is incomparably peaceful and beautiful..."

This is a kind of morbid state!"

Jinse's expression was a little painful at this time.

She had been holding the secret in her heart for a long time.

Today, she finally said it face to face.

"This is not a morbid state, it is a normal human emotion.

Senior Sister only has a special attachment and dependence on me."

"Is it just attachment and dependence?

Senior Sister always thinks about it, but after thinking about it, she can't figure it out.

Senior Sister has also observed all kinds of emotions in the world, and it doesn't seem to be like this, so Senior Sister is very conflicted, cultivating to the Emperor Realm, but she can't even see her own heart clearly."
