Hong Zhu was utterly stunned.
She prided herself on her broad experience, but this was her first time meeting someone who could turn so utterly heartless. He had just been plowing away vigorously on top of her, showering her with sweet nothings by the basketful, and had even said he wanted to be her daddy.
Now he was going to kill his daughter to prove his Dao?
"Your Majesty, surely you're joking?" Hong Zhu's face instantly turned deathly pale.
Though her origins were extraordinary and she was a peak Great Grandmaster, falling out with Emperor Yongchang on his own turf immediately made her feel the terror of death.
Emperor Yongchang finished dressing, his expression indifferent, as though nothing had happened.

Hong Zhu was so furious she laughed. "Then why didn't you say so earlier? You had to wait until you were finished before telling me I shouldn't have come?"
Emperor Yongchang coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty himself.
This really was rather underhanded.
But he was the emperor. An emperor did not need to play fair.
Lianshan Xin watched in awed amazement.
He had once had the same opportunity laid before him, but he had not bedded that stray princess. He had simply killed her.

Lianshan Xin was not the only one awestruck. The others were all looking at Emperor Yongchang with unfathomable expressions too.
They had all revised their understanding of Emperor Yongchang.
Their gazes made the old emperor blush.
He still had a sense of shame.
So
