"Silly evil child." He just stood behind the young girl, showing gentleness in his eyes.

"Big brother!" The young girl abruptly turned around, her lips red and her teeth white, and her face filled with a big smile. In the next instant, she heavily threw herself into the empty embrace.

Not far away from the small bamboo house, a man dressed in a black robe was watching the scene in front of him. His black eyes were as sharp as knives, and the corner of his mouth was curled up cruelly: "Canghai, Canghai —" The smile on his face became even wider as he turned around and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

"I really didn't expect that my sinful son would grow up to be so big." Ye Zichen caressed the girl's long hair gently.

The girl suddenly thought of something and abruptly left his embrace, "Liar, brother is a liar."

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't Big Brother say that you would come find us? But it's been so long and big brother still hasn't come. Staring angrily at the pair of black and white pupils, the eagle on Ye Xiwen's shoulder also stared fiercely at Ye Xiwen, as if the man and the beast were already his best friends.

"Foolish child, how could your brother not want your son? Your unfilial son is everything to me."

"Then why didn't you come?" The young girl was unwilling to let him go.

"I could have come. It's just that my cultivation went berserk midway." He raised his hand and smoothed the young man's long hair.

The young girl jumped up abruptly and pulled at the air nervously, "Are you hurt? "Where does it hurt?"

"Nope." Xu Que took the girl's hand and said, "Now that you're better, will this evil child blame you for not keeping your word?"

The young girl shook her head. "No, your unfilial son will never blame you, brother." He paused. "Really."

"Idiot, I know. Come, tell me what you saw that was interesting!" He took the girl's hand and sat on the stone chair.

"Alright, alright! "You don't even know how fun it was to play the part of brother — —" The young girl's face was filled with pure happiness.

He listened quietly.

Evil child, my evil child, your big brother will protect you forever.

You just have to be as happy as you are now.

Imperial study.

Kong Ming slowly wrote with a brush on a white piece of paper.

He stood quietly by the side, waiting.

"My beloved official must have heard about what happened in Huai Dong's vicinity!" His voice was neither light nor heavy.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then what do you think?"

"It's a big matter. We should cut through it quickly."

"I also feel the same way. Then, I shall trouble my beloved one to go to Huai Dong. When my beloved one returns, I will definitely properly receive your dust." Lifting his head, he put down the brush in his hands and smirked.

"This is my duty." He knelt down.

"Then let's go." Kong Ming turned back to look.

"Yes." Ye Zichen left the study.

"Canghai Xuankong, Canghai Wuxie." The young Emperor coldly opened his mouth and looked at the huge piece of paper. His eyes were filled with hatred.

In the fifteen years that the imperial city was being reorganized, almost half of the officials within the imperial court had their entire family executed. They even killed off nine clans and applauded the people for wiping out the corrupt officials.

Not a single monk survived. Some people said that they saw a golden beam of light ascend into the sky, suspecting that someone had attained the Dao and become a Buddha. Emperor Tan heard that when Buddha was merciful, he ordered officials to rebuild the temple, and everyone said that Emperor Tan was benevolent.

Huai Dong.

"Your Highness, the bamboo forest has been completely burnt down and not a single bit of it has been left." A black clothed man knelt beside Xu Que's feet, "And... all the officials who joined His Highness were executed without exception."

"You may leave." Xu Que clenched his fists tightly as a calm and cold expression appeared on his gentle face, "Kong Ming, when did you know about this? Have you found your unfilial son? "

"Evil child, I will definitely protect you."

"The imperial edict arrived?"

He stood up, walked to the door, and knelt down.

The edict states: Under the administration of the Prime Minister, the weather is smooth, the citizens are joyous, and I am exceptionally pleased. I am concerned that the Prime Minister has been away for many years, and no one has ever helped me play the piano.

"This subject accepts the decree. Long live the Emperor, long live and long live the Emperor." The hollow voice was abnormally silent as it coldly received the imperial edict.

Within the hall.

The young girl fell to the ground, covered in blood. Her black and white eyes stared straight at the space where Kong Ming sat on the dragon throne.

Kongming pursed his lips, dragging his chin: "Hehe, little abbot, you're really even more beautiful than your mother."

"Humph!" Since I'm a member of the Canghai Clan, you're even more delusional to think that I would be your woman. The young girl straightened her back.

"Is that so?" Kong Ming looked at the beautiful person lying on the ground in ridicule. "Unless you want Canghai to die without a burial ground." Gracefully playing with the thumb ring.

The young girl was stunned as she looked at Kong Ming with disdain. "Brother, your martial arts are so high, so I'm not afraid of you."

"Oh? "Pitiful little thing, don't you know that your brother is the prime minister of the imperial court, my official? Do you think he wants to listen to what I say?"

"Big brother became an official just for revenge, so he wouldn't listen to you." The youth's expression was firm.

Kong Ming chuckled, "Of course he won't listen to me. Unfortunately, his precious little sister is in my hands, so I can only obediently become the Prime Minister, don't you think?"

Panic flashed across the young girl's face: "What do you need to do to let my brother live."

Kong Ming slowly stood up and hissed, "I want him — to die with his heart."

"Death of the heart?" The young girl whispered.

"I want you — Vast Ocean Sin, his sister, to make his heart die." Kong Ming walked towards the teenager and squatted down. He pinched her chin and curled his lips like a demon from hell, "Do you agree?"

"It doesn't matter whether Little Bao is willing or not. Since you are here, and Canghai Mingxiu dotes on you so much, I don't think he would want to see you hurt no matter what."

The young girl bit her lips and replied with difficulty, "Alright."

Everything is fine, brother, as long as you are alive.

Kong Ming stood up and looked at the beautiful young girl on the ground with disdain, "Canghai Sin, you're not even qualified to be my pet."

The next day.

The prime minister returned to the imperial court and celebrated the nation.

The officials were having a banquet.

The pitch black night sky was filled with dazzling fireworks, blooming above the officials' heads.

"The Emperor already knows, right?" He just sat beside the emperor, and his voice didn't sound emotional at all.

Kong Ming just smiled.

"Why?" Xu Yourong turned her head to look at him.

"Rumor has it that the sixth prince of Black Tortoise Nation loves cyan clothes and has a good zither in his hands. His talent has been extraordinary since he was young." Kong Ming sipped some wine. "Besides, I have never trusted anyone." His expression suddenly became serious.

He laughed bitterly, "No wonder. I thought you believed me, but it turns out you've never trusted me even after your entire life."

"Xu, your feelings are too strong. Only someone like me is suitable for hatred." Kong Ming's smile seemed to be sucking up blood.

"What do you mean?" Xu Que was suddenly alerted.

"Shh — —" Kong Ming made a silencing gesture. "My love, This Emperor specially prepared a program for you. I think my love will like it."

Xiao Yan looked toward the arena and suddenly stood up. His originally gentle face slowly turned white as his eyes stared intently at the alluring flurry of red dancing on the stage.

The weak hope had been wiped clean. His evil son was truly in Kong Ming's hands.

"Isn't it beautiful? "That's my new beauty!" Kong Ming sipped his wine.

His eyes couldn't follow the directions of the crowd, he could only watch from the sidelines.

Time seemed to have slowed down by many times, and the beating of his heart became more and more irregular.

Let's dance.

That bright red face happily threw itself into his empty arms. "Big brother, do you like my dance?"

"Scoundrel, why are you here?" He held in a deep breath within his body, even his words were trembling slightly.

"Eh? Brother, don't you know? The Emperor said he would tell you! " The beautiful young girl blinked at the smiling Kong Ming. "I'm now the emperor's woman. The emperor treats me very well, isn't Big Brother doing this very well?"

Instantly, her lips turned pale as she gasped for air. She tightly held onto the young girl's hand and said, "Evil child, go back with big brother. We'll leave now."

"Big brother, what's wrong?" The young girl asked curiously.

"Let's go now." She stubbornly pulled the young girl forward.

"No, I'm not leaving, brother."

"Stop messing around." The hollow voice was slightly stern.

The smile on Kong Ming's face intensified.

The officials all shut their mouths sensibly.

"I'm not leaving." The young girl suddenly broke free from the imprisonment of the void.

"Evil child." He turned around in disbelief, looking at his beloved little sister.

"Big brother, I'm not leaving. I'm in love with the emperor, and I can't leave him. No matter what, as long as I'm by his side, it's fine." The young girl slightly lowered her head, raised it again, and looked straight into the void.

"What did you say?" She abruptly walked into the bright red girl.

"I want to be the Emperor's woman."

"No." He flatly refused.

"Big brother, if you don't agree, then I won't leave. I want to be the emperor's woman." The young girl's tone was exceptionally firm.

Crack.

He raised his hand and scratched the young girl.

Suddenly, a red fingerprint appeared on her white face.

"Big Brother, even if you beat me to death, I still won't leave the Emperor's side." The young girl stubbornly raised her head.

"Do you know who he is? He is our arch enemy. " He roared angrily at the girl.

"I know." The girl's voice was very light and calm.

"You know?" He felt as if something beneath his feet was swaying, and his world was slowly falling apart. "You know?"

"I know, I know everything." The young girl's expression was abnormally calm. "But I just fell in love with the Emperor. Nothing can stop me. Big brother, do you understand?"

His eyes widened as he stared at the person in front of him, unable to say a word.

It was his sister, the sister he had protected with his life, the sister he had wanted to protect for the rest of his life.

But she told him she was in love with the unforgivable enemy.

She was desperate, desperate — just wanting to be that man's woman.

The young master of Black Tortoise Country, his unfilial son, the unfilial son he had always held in the palm of his hand, belonged to only the noble and beautiful — he actually wanted to be the enemy of his family's woman.

Pet like woman.

Women.

Ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha!" Xu Wen suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly. Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

The world seemed to rotate alternately. That bright red girl began to fall apart, slowly withering — disappearing before his eyes.

"Canghai Sin, Canghai Sin, do you know that you're the youngest princess of Black Tortoise Country — — Canghai Sin." He looked at the young girl in front of him with bloodshot eyes and asked, "Do you know?"

"I know that I'm Black Tortoise Country's Canghai Mingxiu. Big Brother, but — Canghai Mingyue is willing to be a woman raised by the Emperor. I only hope that he'll show a trace of mercy." The young girl's gaze was as firm as a mountain rock.
