King Lou Lan Palace.

"Reporting to your majesty, we have just received the report from the great general, Yuwen Tai. Please take a look!" Zhao Chengde handed over the report that he had just delivered.

Helian Zhang opened the newspaper and saw the contents of it. The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer as he said expressionlessly, "Victory at the border, General Yuwen's fifty thousand strong army had completely annihilated the villains who were eyeing the place covetously, and had even destroyed several bandit's lairs of that generation. In the future, merchants will not be robbed or killed by bandits when they pass through that generation.

When Zhao Changde heard this, he immediately went up and congratulated him, "Congratulations your majesty! Prince Xi! "The king has only ascended the throne for less than three months, but our army has already won such a beautiful battle. This is more than enough to make the king even more stable!"

Helian Shan hated these flattering words the most. He was not an unconscious king, so he naturally knew how to govern his country. He didn't need a eunuch to remind him of this.

After a long time without receiving any response from the King, Zhao Changde seemed to realize that he had made a huge mistake and immediately kneeled on the ground, his head lowered and his body started to tremble.

He didn't know what had happened half a year ago, but overnight, it was as if he had become a different person. After that, his temper easily turned into anger, and a few of the eunuchs had accidentally angered the king while they were working, ruthlessly getting their car torn apart and killed.

This old fellow had been by his side since he was ten years old, and now, he could be considered to be an old servant that had followed him for more than ten years. If it weren't for this matter, that fart of his wouldn't even be enough for ten times for a car to shatter, and it wouldn't even be enough for him to endure.

"Get out of here. I need some peace and quiet!" Helian Shan retracted his cold gaze and lowered his head to look at the unapproved reports on the table.

When Zhao Changde heard that the king did not blame him, he immediately stood up and retreated out of the imperial study. He was afraid that if the King were to regret it later, he would really be punished by a car splitting apart.

Helian Shan stood alone in the royal study. Without his order, no one would dare to come in and disturb the king. They were afraid that their lives would be lost.

It was only when a slim figure appeared on the smooth marble floor of the imperial study that the previous tranquility was broken. The woman held a round plate of food in her hand, and an exquisite porcelain bowl of soup was placed on top of it.

Helian Shan was a martial artist. Even without raising his head to look, he could still feel who it was that had walked in. It was impossible for those dog slaves to have the guts to disturb him when he first came in. It was obvious that this person was someone he loathed!

"Wang, chenqie made a cup of ginseng chicken soup with her own hands. You have been working day and night on national affairs. Chenqie thinks that you must be very tired, so she personally sent it over." As Helian Shan expected, the person who came was the Queen "Meng Qianrong" who was crowned a month ago.

She was quite pretty, but she was too vulgar and old-fashioned. Meng Qianrong had never been his choice for a queen, and in his heart, there was only one person he truly believed to be a queen. She was the granddaughter of the tutor who grew up around him, 'One-Feather Dance'!

Ever since he ascended the throne, Yu Wu had returned to the Taifu Residence. The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and not long after that, he had received the testamentary edict from the previous emperor. Although he was very unwilling, he still married Meng Qianrong.

Ever since their wedding, even if it was a wedding night, Helian Lie had never spent the night in the queen's Phoenix Luan Palace. He hated this woman, and if it wasn't for the late king's testamentary edict, he would simply despise this woman!

After receiving no response from the king for a long time, Meng QianRong walked to his side, placed the soup cup on the side of the table, and walked behind him. She put her hand on his shoulder, ready to massage him …

"Zhao Changde …" Helian Lie suddenly let out a loud shout, causing Zhao Changde, who was outside the door, to tumble and crawl in.

"This old servant is here …"

"You heard what Gu Bei said just now. You need to be alone. Who let the queen in?" Helian Lie roared angrily at Zhao Changde, scaring Qian Rong, who was standing behind him, out of her wits. She quickly retracted her hand and walked to the side of his chair to kneel down.

Zhao Chengde did not dare to raise his head. He knew that the king hated the queen the most and did not want to see the queen at all, but the queen had used the palace master to suppress him. What could he do?

"Your Majesty, the Queen insisted on coming in. He said it was just to send the soup, and he left very quickly, so this old servant doesn't dare …" Zhao Chengde was trembling so much that his bones were about to break apart.

Helian Shan stared straight at Zhao Changde, as if the woman beside him did not exist. Yes, he completely treated her as if she did not exist!

"King, spare Zhao Changde. Chenqie forced him to let chenqie in. You can punish chenqie if you want. Chenqie did this because she cares about you, your highness …" The queen was kneeling on the ground as she pleaded with him. If it wasn't for her coming to see the king today, she wouldn't have been able to see him normally.

She clearly knew that the king didn't like her at all, that he was marrying her as the late prince's testamentary edict, but that the king had neglected her even on his wedding day and hadn't consummated his marriage to her until today. This had long since become the laughingstock of the imperial harem, especially those concubines who had gained the favor of the king, and had no respect for her at all behind her back, only because of her title as the queen, she greeted him courteously when they met.

He Lianlian glanced at the chicken soup on the desk, pointed at Zhao Changde, who was kneeling on the floor, and said, "Zhao Changde, you have been by Gu Shenwei's side for over ten years, right? It seems that you have a hard time looking at this servant of yours, so I'll reward you with the chicken soup!"

As soon as Helian Lie finished speaking, Qian Ran, who was kneeling at the side, widened her eyes and looked at this man who stood high above her. How could he personally stew her soup and bestow it upon a servant like this right in front of her?

"Many thanks to Your Majesty for your gift …" Zhao Chengde stood up with shaking legs, then walked over and carried away the soup that the king had bestowed upon him.

When he walked up to the king, he received a hint from the king. He picked up the soup and quickly left the royal study.

Within the imperial study, Qian Rong was still kneeling on the ground. Helian Lie didn't seem to have the intention of letting her get up and continued to read the imperial report in front of her, while Qian Rong was just foolishly kneeling on the floor. Occasionally, she would secretly peek at the king.

Helian Lie did this on purpose. Don't think that just because she sat on the throne that she was impressive, so what if his father was the Prime Minister? So what if the current King was him, Helian Lie? He had never liked Prime Minister Meng very much, and had always thought highly of himself.

Four hours later …

Helian Lie closed the last imperial report and looked coldly at Meng Qianrong who was still kneeling on the ground. Her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. It seemed that she couldn't hold on any longer.

"Go back to your Phoenix Luan Palace. From today onwards, if you don't have any orders from me, don't appear in front of me. If you see me, you'll be annoyed!" Helian Shan spoke the words from the bottom of his heart without hesitation. Towards this woman, if he could, he would pinch her to death right now.

Qian Rong knelt on the ground, and upon hearing the king's words, tears began to fall from her eyes. She unwillingly shook her head and crawled to his feet, "Your Majesty, please tell your concubine what she wants to do. Only then will you be willing to take a look at her. Your Majesty …"

When he cried, the makeup on his face was already in tears, making him feel even more disgusted. He kicked away the hand she held in his embrace, truly regretting that he had accepted the testamentary edict to marry this woman.

Qian Rong was kicked away by the king and fell on her butt. Why did the king have to treat her so ruthlessly, she crawled to the king's feet unwillingly and begged while sobbing, "You are the king of concubines, the god of concubines. If the king hates his concubines and doesn't want to see them again, then the king will grant his concubine a choice.

Helian Lie's words completely angered Helian Lie. He abruptly stood up and stretched out his hand to pinch her fair neck, and his arm slowly rose up. Qian Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, also stood up.

"You slut, don't think that I won't dare to kill you. I'll kill you before I destroy your entire family, so that your family can reunite below!" Helian Shan's big hand that was pinching her neck became more and more forceful. Qian Rong was choked by his grip, unable to say a single word.

Her cheeks had already turned red and her lips were starting to turn purple. She believed that as long as he added a bit more strength, she would die here today.

Qian Rong didn't expect the king to hate her so much. She felt her body becoming weaker and weaker, and believed that she would soon be unable to hold on. Tears of despair flowed out of the corner of her eyes, and she prayed that the king would let her go.

Helian Zhang looked at her deformed face. Suddenly, he loosened his grip on her big palm. Although he really wanted to strangle her to death, now was not the time. He needed to leave this woman's life to restrain his father!

"Cough, cough, cough …" Qian Rong breathed heavily, did she really think she was going to die just like that?

Helian Lie looked at her long spent face and frowned. From the corner of his eyes, he happened to see the cup of tea on the table. His eyes flashed as he reached out to grab it and after drinking a mouthful, he actually poured the tea onto her face.

"Go back to the palace and look at yourself in the mirror. See how disgusting your face is!" After saying this, Helian Shan threw the teacup on the ground, letting out a "bang" sound as it shattered.

Helian Lie didn't have the mood to give her another glance. He took large strides and left the imperial study, leaving behind a trembling and battered appearance …

After the king left, she was like a broken doll, falling from the table and landing on the ground. Since ancient times, there had never been a queen like her, who was almost strangled to death by her own husband, and was even humiliated by him. Why did he have to treat her like this?

The mistake was that she shouldn't have married into the Monarch's family, shouldn't have entered the palace's backyard, and shouldn't have been involved in the relationship between her husband and her father. Since ancient times, women like this would often become the victims of this battle!
