Basically, women were paranoid.
Especially when it came to dual sex.
Especially when it came to her husband.
She was the most paranoid among paranoid.
Because it was natural for women to be jealous … No, it couldn't be said that they were women. It was human nature to be jealous. This came from the possessiveness deep in their hearts. They viewed their spouse as their own and couldn't tolerate outsiders interfering.
And although Empress was Empress, she was still a woman.
Women would be jealous and paranoid.
But as Empress, she was indeed more magnanimous and calm than the average woman.
This wasn't because she was broad-minded.
It wasn't because she had the crazy logic of "I don't mind sharing with my sisters. As long as you still love me, I don't care how many sisters you have."
It was because of her identity. She was Empress. She wanted to be a role model for all women in the world. She wanted to be the mother of the world. She had to look at the big picture. She couldn't be jealous and couldn't exclude the concubines. She had to realize that the emperor's harem was for the sake of passing down the country's legacy and not just for the sake of f * cking.
So she couldn't be jealous and couldn't stop it. Otherwise, she would be scolded by the world as a jealous woman who couldn't see the big picture.
This was probably a kind of moral kidnapping.
Of course, there was another important reason why Empress was so calm.
Because she was Empress. She was the emperor's official wife. Legally speaking, she was the only legal mistress of the empire. So no matter which flirtatious slut the emperor favored, her position as empress was as stable as Mount Tai. Empress was her. She was destined to be her. As long as she didn't do anything, no one could shake her position.
Not even the emperor.
If the emperor abolished the empress for no reason, he would be framed by the ministers and unable to attend court.
That was probably the case.
So when Sun Lang said that "your husband has someone else in his heart" and used the concubines as an excuse, these laughable tricks were completely unable to shake the Empress's heart.
Empress sneered in her heart.
She faintly said, "You've really disappointed me. The general is known as a divine strategist who is wise and resourceful. Now that I've seen you today, I know that you don't live up to your reputation. Are you trying to drive a wedge between His Majesty and me by using such ridiculous words?
Do you think I'm a jealous woman? "
At this moment, her body seemed to emit the light of a harmonious palace.
"As Empress, I have to take care of the six palaces and deal with family affairs for His Majesty. I have a great responsibility. His Majesty's family affairs are also the affairs of the world. If the six palaces are harmonious, the royal family will be fine. If His Majesty has someone in his heart, I will be very happy. Naturally, I will matchmake for His Majesty and bring that sister into the palace. She will give birth to children for His Majesty and help the royal family … Do you think I will be jealous?"
Sun Lang was shocked, as if he was looking at an extremely precious living fossil.
"I haven't heard Long Aotian's classic speech in the harem for a long time. I didn't know Your Highness was so generous. If only my women were as sensible as Your Highness."
He sighed. "Then I will definitely become the world's largest peanut farmer …"
Empress frowned. "What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Sun Lang said seriously. "If Your Highness is so generous, His Majesty will be very happy. Since that is the case, why don't Your Highness Empress be a good person to the end and give up the position of Empress."
The Queen's expression changed slightly. Then, she sneered and said, "You're just trying to scare people.
Do you mean that His Majesty favors a woman and even wants to make her Empress?
Are you kidding me? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?
What a clumsy plan to sow discord.
Sun Lang shrugged. "You don't believe it?"
Empress said, "I don't believe it!"
But her expression had changed. Although she didn't believe it, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Empress's generosity and calmness were built on the unshakable foundation of her status.
For a coquettish bitch in the palace, no matter how much His Majesty liked her, she would still treat it as a monarch raising a cat or dog that knew how to act spoiled. As long as she didn't cause any big trouble, she wouldn't care and would just laugh it off.
However, if this cat or dog took advantage of her and even dared to covet Empress's position?
Then she would definitely find a reason to beat them to death.
So, when she heard Sun Lang say such words, although Empress Empress didn't believe it, she couldn't help but have some other thoughts … She wouldn't allow anyone to have the chance to touch the empress's position.
"It's normal that Your Highness doesn't believe it. After all, this is too unbelievable."
Sun Lang sighed. "Who would have thought that the monarch of the world would have this kind of unique hobby?
And who would have thought that this cold-blooded monarch would actually go to war and disregard everything for this kind of thing? "
Empress frowned and said coldly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"This subject just wants to sigh a few times for Your Highness. Your infatuation can't be exchanged for the slightest bit of return. In His Majesty's eyes, you are only a dispensable character."
The Empress's long, shapely eyebrows rose. "Impudent!"
Sun Lang was still smiling. "Did this subject say anything wrong?
From the beginning to the end, His Majesty has never told Your Highness about his goals and plans. You are his wife, you are someone who would never betray him. You are someone who is one with him as husband and wife. He desires immortality and is only one step away, but he keeps his mouth shut from you … "
Empress's mind was greatly shaken. She said sternly, "What did you say?"
Sun Lang said with a smile, "Your Highness, if others heard this, these eunuchs would all die."
Empress's mind was in turmoil. She took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "What did you say?"
"Your Highness heard it."
Sun Lang said calmly, "All these years, His Majesty has been chasing after the dream of immortality and is about to reach the end. With this technique, his imperial power will last for tens of thousands of years and he can be the Emperor forever. Unfortunately, he doesn't want you to be his Empress forever. How pitiful."
Empress's eyes widened. Her pupils reflected a look of disbelief. The amount of information in Sun Lang's words was too much. Who would have thought that this guy would casually toss out such a big secret?
Did he make this up?
Empress instinctively had this suspicion, but looking into Sun Lang's eyes, she wasn't so sure.
"Your Highness, do you want to know what happened to the plot of 'Xuan Beasts'?
No, you don't need to know. You only need to know that Bai Yuwei died in the Bai Clan Castle after going insane for two years. Ling Muli became a different person. The so-called Sword Saint of the Kingdom died quickly and strangely in front of everyone. Chi Lianyan, a mere hedonistic son of a rich family, became a Sword Saint overnight. Wei Xihe, the grand Sun Sword Saint, repelled by all evil, went insane himself … "
Finally, Sun Lang pointed at himself and then whispered into Empress's ear.
"Including me, we were all the Emperor's experiments, and you knew nothing about it."
Empress subconsciously took a step back.
She didn't believe Sun Lang's words, but she had to believe the facts before her eyes.
The Emperor really was doing some terrible things in secret, but as his wife, she knew nothing about it. They were clearly husband and wife, but she knew nothing about it.
"The Emperor has been preparing this plan for a very, very long time."
Sun Lang said, "But do you know why?
He was just an Emperor of the human world. How could he use the Imperial Army to seize people's souls and bodies?
No one dares to attempt this kind of research that risks universal condemnation. Throughout history, there has never been a record of this. He is not a genius, so how could he come up with such a terrifying idea in a single night and come up with such a cruel method? "
Empress had been overwhelmed by Sun Lang's massive amount of information. At this time, her head was dizzy and she couldn't distinguish between things. She subconsciously asked, "Why?"
General Shentse let out a long sigh.
The sigh was full of melancholy, memories, resentment, and sadness.
"Because he fell in love with someone."
"No, it's not a person. It's a remnant soul, a terrible soul that resides in a weapon."
"It's the sword spirit of the Houtu Holy Sword, the weapon of the ancient Sky Demon, the origin of the Houtu Imperial Army."
"I call her … The Devil Ancestor."
Sun Lang looked at Empress, his eyes full of pity.
"She made you a cuckold."
The General of Divine Strategies faintly said, "His Majesty was madly infatuated with her, so he agreed to her request and began to carry out a crazy plan. He wanted to find the perfect physical body for the Ancestor Devil Spirit, and even asked for immortality. He wanted to stay with the Devil Spirit forever and never be separated. This is what he has been doing."
