I Came to Throw the Court into Chaos, but the Human Emperor Wants Me as a Pet?

Upon hearing this, Queen Jiang abruptly raised her head.

Do you know?

The King actually knew about it?

Doesn't that mean the King tacitly approved of their actions?

In an instant, a jumble of thoughts flooded my mind.

Could it be... that the King has truly changed?

Has my father's fears come true?

Di Xin took in her reaction and continued speaking calmly.

"But this is not what the Queen thought."

"The inside story is somewhat complicated."

"Your Majesty only needs to know that I have my reasons for doing this."

"As for the reason, you will naturally find out in the future."

His words were calm yet powerful, carrying an undeniable confidence.

This confidence slightly calmed Queen Jiang's restless heart.

But she still couldn't completely let go.

"But Your the King..."

She frowned and voiced her final concerns.

"Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu is a high-ranking official who guards the region, and his family has been loyal and virtuous for generations."

"Now that Fei Zhong You Hun are pressuring him like this, aren't they chilling the hearts of loyal ministers?"

"Moreover, rumors are spreading outside the palace that Your the King has forcibly taken a subject's daughter. This... this greatly damages Your the King's wise reputation!"

Queen Jiang grew increasingly anxious as she spoke.

In her view, it was unacceptable for her husband to bear such a bad reputation for a woman he had never even met.

To dishearten a loyal minister is a losing proposition no matter what.

Di Xin, his face remaining completely expressionless.

He stood up, walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked out of the hall.

After a long while, he finally spoke slowly.

"Reputation?"

"It's all just empty fame."

He turned around and looked at Queen Jiang, his deep eyes gleaming with a light she couldn't understand.

"As for chilling the hearts of loyal ministers..."

A meaningful smile curved at the corners of Di Xin's mouth.

"Your Majesty."

"This was done by Fei Zhong and You Hun; what does it have to do with me?"

What does this have to do with me?

Yes, Fei Zhong and You Hun were the ones who ran around doing all the legwork from beginning to end.

The King has never issued any decree, nor has he ever expressed the slightest intention in any public setting.

On the surface, it really has nothing to do with him.

But without the King's tacit approval, how could those two treacherous villains have dared to act so recklessly and cause such a commotion throughout the city?

"But Your the King..."

Queen Jiang wanted to say something more, but she felt that things were not so simple.

"This is no small matter. If we don't deal with them, the rumors outside will only intensify, and then..."

Di Xin waved his hand, interrupting her.

"Your Majesty need not say any more."

"I know what I'm doing in this matter."

Di Xin stood up, walked back to his desk, and picked up the bamboo scroll that he had not yet finished reviewing, as if the conversation just now was just an insignificant interlude.

"It's getting late, Your Majesty. You've had a long day; you should go back and rest."

This is already an invitation to leave.

Looking at Di Xin's profile as he refocused on state affairs, Queen Jiang swallowed back all the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She knew her husband's temperament; once he made a decision, no one could change it.

Despite her thousand worries and myriad questions, all she could do at this moment was let out a barely audible sigh.

"Yes, then this concubine... takes her leave."

Queen Jiang slowly rose, bowed to Di Xin, then turned and left the Nine Chamber Hall, her heart heavy with unspoken thoughts.

Silence returned to the main hall.

Only after that familiar figure had completely disappeared did Di Xin slowly put down the bamboo slip in his hand.

His gaze pierced through the walls of the palace, as if he could see directly into the location of a post station somewhere in the city.

Su Hu.

Su Daji.

hehe.

Di Xin muttered to himself, his voice so low that only he could hear it.

"It's Su Daji..."

"Since you're so eager to enter the palace, then come in."

"Staying put in the palace and being my pet isn't so bad."

His face no longer held any of the gentleness he had shown when facing Queen Jiang.

Instead, there was an all-knowing indifference, and a hint of... amusement.

That's right, it's about having a bit of fun.

In such a vast palace, keeping one more pet wouldn't be a problem.

A Nine-tailed Spirit Fox is a rare species, and keeping it in the harem to relieve boredom seems like a good choice.

This matter was under his control from the very beginning.

When those two fools Fei Zhong and You Hun, first considered going to find Su Hu, he already knew it all too well.

He had intended to give these two arrogant fools a slight punishment, to warn them to restrain themselves and not to make wild guesses about the emperor's intentions.

But just as he was about to intervene, an unexpected discovery made him change his mind.

Su Daji.

The legendary woman who caused the downfall of the Great Shang Dynasty has arrived in Chaoge.

No.

To be precise, it was Nine-tailed Fox disguised as Su Daji who arrived.

What intrigued him even more was that this Nine-tailed Fox was able to perfectly evade the detection of the Human Path Fortune Grand Array that enveloped the entire Chaoge City.

This is something no small fox demon could accomplish.

The methods of Saint.

This is yet another example of the methods of Saint.

This is the second time.

Twice in a row, someone managed to sneak into Chaoge City without anyone noticing by having the Saint personally intervene to conceal the Heavenly Secrets, yet the great formation remained completely unresponsive.

This made him clearly realize that the Humanity Dao Grand Array enveloping Chaoge was not invincible.

For cultivators below the Quasi-Sage, it might be an impenetrable fortress, an absolute forbidden zone.

However, even when facing beings of Saint caliber, loopholes still exist.

If Saint were to personally intervene and cover it up, the great formation could be concealed.

While this loophole isn't fatal—after all, Saint can't True Body descend—they can always come up with all sorts of ways to secretly create trouble for you.

Just like now.

It seems I will need to personally investigate both inside and outside Chaoge from time to time to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

To prevent any more Tom, Dick, or Harry from being quietly brought in.

Suppressing these thoughts, Di Xin's attention returned to the Nine-tailed Fox.

Since Su Daji has already arrived, let her stay.

Kill her?

It's meaningless.

Besides, if they kill one Nine-tailed Fox, they'll definitely send other demons.

Instead of wasting time guarding against unknown tactics, it's better to hold this exposed piece firmly in our own hands.

It's much better to keep an eye on her than to let her cause trouble in the shadows.

If she behaves well, I wouldn't mind giving her a couple of bones to eat.

If you don't perform well...

Then skin them and make scarves.

Winter was approaching, and the Queen was still missing something to keep warm.

"Su Daji, you mustn't... disappoint me."

Recently, many readers have found these chapters boring and uninteresting, and think the author has changed.

I want to clarify here that the author has not changed, has not changed, has not changed. (I'm saying it three times because it's important.)

If you don't like these parts, I'll finish writing them as soon as possible, and then transition to the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, which will only take a few chapters.

The Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods will be here soon, please be patient...
