Emperor Long Xuan smashed a teacup with a dark expression. The palace maids and eunuchs standing next to him all knelt down.

He felt that smashing the teacup was not enough, so he threw all the memorials on the table to the ground.

He had not been happy these past few days. He always felt that everyone was against him.

Long Xuan was not a good-tempered person. He hated it when people disobeyed him.

When he was young, he was the Emperor. The Tianyun Kingdom was a large country among the surrounding countries.

As the Emperor, he was skilled in both civil and martial arts. He was handsome and domineering. Since he was young, he could get anything he wanted. He could be said to be omnipotent.

This kind of success caused his arrogance to swell to the extreme. He was extremely egotistical and arrogant. Since he was young, if someone made him unhappy, he could kill them with a wave of his hand.

There was only one exception, and that was the Third Prince.

The Third Prince was an idiot who only knew how to have fun, but because he was the son of the Empress, his status was noble, and he had a lot of fans. Unfortunately, the Emperor at that time also liked this idiot son who only knew how to have fun.

Long Xuan's birth mother was only a palace maid. Originally, he could not sit on the Emperor's throne. However, his ambition was not small. He entered the army when he was in his teens and made some achievements. Gradually, he gained the Emperor's attention.

However, at that time, he was only trained as a reliable subordinate of the Third Prince. Long Xuan naturally did not want to be under someone else. He began to secretly buy people's hearts and cultivate henchmen.

Later, when the palace was in chaos, Long Xuan successfully seized the Emperor's throne. However, when he wanted to kill the Third Prince as well to prevent future troubles, the Imperial Tutor, who had never cared about national affairs, saved the Third Prince.

The Imperial Tutor's position had always been sacred. Even Long Xuan did not dare to openly go against his wishes. He could only grit his teeth and tolerate the Third Prince. He also gave him the title of Prince and sent him far away to his fief.

The Third Prince had always been honest. Long Xuan gradually dispelled his desire to kill him.

However, not long ago, a secret guard had sent a secret report that the Third Prince was not obedient in his fief. He had raised a group of ambitious hangers-on and was secretly training soldiers. It seemed that he wanted to seize the throne.

Long Xuan was instantly enraged. This Third Prince had almost used his idiotic appearance to fool him.

How could Long Xuan tolerate such a thing? He immediately wanted to order the Third Prince to enter the capital and then find a way to kill him.

After he became the Emperor, he was used to doing as he pleased, but his subordinates naturally wouldn't allow him to do so, and hurriedly came to persuade him.

Among them, Grand Tutor Ye tried his best to persuade him. Although Long Xuan temporarily dismissed the idea, he was still unhappy and threw a tantrum when he returned to his palace.

The palace servants did not dare to persuade him. They waited for him to vent before quietly coming forward to clean up.

Back to Long Xuan. After he threw a tantrum, he suddenly remembered Situ Jingjing that he hadn't paid attention to for a few days.

He also paid special attention to Situ Jingjing. However, with his personality, even if he liked her a little, it didn't matter. Situ Jingjing's resistance to him was intolerable in his eyes. He planned to tame this captive princess like a beast.

However, things didn't develop as smoothly as he thought. At first, it was fine. Just as he thought, under his connivance, Situ Jingjing didn't have a good time in the palace.

However, after that night's banquet, Situ Jingjing was somewhat different. Long Xuan also didn't see her a second time from that day until the third day today.

The person he sent to threaten Situ Jingjing was frightened by the bloody fingers and became sick in bed. Only then was he somewhat satisfied. He thought that after a few more days, he could move on to the next stage of his plan to tame her.

After today's incident, Long Xuan thought that it would be better to go and see if Situ Jingjing had learned to be obedient. It would also change his mood at the same time.

He got up and walked out as soon as he thought of it. As he walked, he asked the eunuch beside him, "How is Concubine Jing?"

The eunuch replied, "Concubine Jing's illness is getting worse. She said that she can't be exposed to the wind in her room."

Long Xuan frowned. "It's just a minor illness. Why hasn't she recovered yet? Why is it getting worse? Is she pretending to be sick again?"

"Imperial Physician Cai reported it himself. It shouldn't be wrong." The eunuch's eyes moved as he lowered his head and answered in a low voice.

Imperial Physician Cai was the imperial physician he trusted. Hearing this, Long Xuan hesitated. She was so sick that it wouldn't be interesting for him to go.

However, after thinking about it, he hesitated. Since he wanted to tame her, it might be more effective to go and see her now.

As such, he continued to walk forward and said, "Send the carriage to Concubine Jing's palace."

The eunuch beside him knew that he didn't like others interfering with his thoughts, so he didn't try to persuade him. However, he thought of the lord's orders and gave a look to a young eunuch on the other side.

The young eunuch nodded and left without drawing any attention.

After a while, Long Xuan had just walked out of his palace when he heard a young eunuch rush in to report that Imperial Tutor Ye had an important military report to present.

Long Xuan was still an emperor after all. The affairs of the imperial harem were just a pastime. Since he had something to do at court, he naturally went back to court and didn't want to see Situ Jingjing again.

As for Chu Yu, who was said to be sick in bed, she was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. There were people serving her tea and snacks, and there were palace maids waiting to wipe her sweat.

She didn't do anything at all. She didn't know that the emperor thought she was sick. Ever since she came back from the Moon Platform where the Imperial Tutor was, she didn't go out or do anything else. She only practiced swordsmanship seriously and tried to find an opportunity to leave the palace.

In the past few days, her palace had been very peaceful. No one said anything, and no one came to disturb her.

In a place she didn't know, her palace had been isolated. No one knew what was really going on in the palace. Even the emperor only knew what someone wanted him to know.

The emperor who thought he had control of the imperial harem naturally wouldn't suspect that there was someone above him. That person could control his thoughts and actions, and even his mood. He could only see illusions, hear what he should hear, and do what he was allowed to do.

Chu Yu also didn't know. Most of her thoughts were occupied by Fu Wang who was locked up in a small black room. A small part of her was worried about how to leave the palace without disturbing the tyrannical scum male lead.

Ever since she found out about Fu Wang's situation, she fell into a state of anxiety, worry, and fear.

If she really saw Fu Wang again, would he still remember her?

Yes, at that time, Fu Wang loved her very much. Chu Yu never doubted this. But after all, so many years had passed. Time could wear away everything. Moreover, he might have experienced many painful things.

Chu Yu wasn't sure if Fu Wang still remembered her.

Thinking about it, she felt bitter. She felt that after she woke up, her lover who was still kissing her passionately and passionately in love might not even remember who she was.

Chu Yu didn't have any illusions. She wasn't someone who loved deeply for thousands of years. For normal people, when they were in love, it was already a very rare thing for their hearts to not change for tens of years. Not to mention thousands of years, it was simply like an impossible fairy tale.

But no matter if Fu Wang still remembered her or didn't like her, Fu Wang was still her deeply loved lover. She would do her best to save him. As for what would happen after … she would think about it when the time came.

After Chu Yu made her decision, she began to work hard to train. She wanted to escape the palace. She couldn't let this weak body of hers drag her down.

So even if she was extremely anxious, she still worked hard to eat and sleep well, so that she could maintain her energy and strength.

Seven days passed in a flash. Long Xuan wanted to Situ Jingjing many times, but was stopped by all kinds of sudden 'accidents'. Because these accidents happened too naturally, Long Xuan didn't have any suspicions. She only felt that everything suddenly piled up together, and it was really annoying.

And on the night of the seventh day, Chu Yu saw someone in her sleeping quarters.

Yin Lan, the loyal dog who had escorted Situ Jingjing out of the Wuyue Kingdom. Because of Situ Jingjing's great dream of personally taking revenge, he was thrown out of the palace by her.

This person was just like how the original novel described him. He was an unsmiling and taciturn loyal dog who was willing to sacrifice his life for Situ Jingjing.

Chu Yu still remembered that when she finished reading the original novel, she had lamented that it was pardonable for the female lead to not be together with the demonic beast boss. She would rather have the female lead be together with this loyal dog man than be together with that scum of a male lead.

Now that the loyal dog who she thought was the only good man she could entrust her life to was standing in front of her, Chu Yu inexplicably felt a bit guilty, but she didn't know why.

She rubbed her nose and saw Yin Lan kneel in front of her and say: "Yin Lan didn't listen to the princess' orders and came here without permission. Please punish me, princess."

Was it because she wasn't the princess that this loyal dog was loyal to, so she felt guilty?

Chu Yu adjusted her expression and asked him: "You didn't get discovered when you snuck into the palace?"

"Replying to the princess, no one noticed." Yin Lan lowered his head.
