Chapter 1800 Changes in Mentality
His eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, fixed on the densely packed words, and his hands clenched tighter and tighter uncontrollably, the joints even turning slightly white from excessive force.
After he finished reading the report that Ye Zifen had compiled after her careful investigation, an indescribable feeling of loss came over him.
The love that he once had for this concubine became so vulnerable in the face of the cruel truth at this moment.
Looking back now, those sweet times we once spent together seem as fleeting as passing clouds.
In his eyes, disappointment and anger intertwined, like a blazing fire.
The deep love in my heart is like the surging waves at high tide, but the moment I know everything, it disappears quickly like the ebb tide, leaving only desolation and loneliness.
No matter who you are, once you clearly realize that you have become a chess piece in the hands of others, it would be difficult for you to feel happy, right?
What's more, he is the king of a country, the supreme ruler with supreme power!
His face was as gloomy as water, and he sat quietly on the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme authority.
The air around him seemed to feel his anger, becoming so stagnant that it was almost impossible to breathe.
The entire palace was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere, as if a storm was about to come.
Although he knew very well that not every concubine's feelings for him were genuine, when this cruel reality was right before his eyes, he still felt heartbroken and unbelievable.
The heart-wrenching pain spread rapidly throughout his heart like a wildly growing vine, tightly wrapping around his already fragile heart.
At this moment, he felt as if his heart was being gnawed by millions of ants, and as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing on him, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
This extremely uncomfortable feeling was like a surging tide that hit his chest wave after wave, blocking his breathing passage and making every breath he took seem so difficult and strenuous.
It was at this moment of unbearable agony that he suddenly stood up, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and his eyes flashed with a cold light mixed with anger and disappointment.
Then, he issued an order in an extremely cold and irreconcilable tone: "Pass on my order, immediately get those foreign envoys out of our Great Xia territory! There must not be a moment's delay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire palace fell into silence. Everyone was shocked by the majesty and determination emanating from him, and no one dared to voice the slightest objection.
I don’t know if it was because the blow this time was too great, but after Ye Zifen left, as time passed, the emperor’s fear of the couple gradually eased a lot.
Perhaps it was because the locust plague was so serious and could be called a huge disaster that the emperor did not dare to be negligent or slack in the slightest.
Because of this, he devoted all his attention to the busy affairs of state, so that the number of times he went to the harem was significantly reduced compared to before.
However, others did not feel much about this, but the princess from a foreign country was the first to be unable to hold back.
She was seen pacing back and forth in the palace where she lived. Her originally calm heart was now filled with anxiety, and she was as restless as an ant on a hot pan.
"What should I do? The emperor hasn't come to visit me for a long time. How can I successfully complete the important mission I'm responsible for?"
The foreign princess bit her lips tightly, and her beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, as if they could pinch a mosquito to death.
After careful consideration, she decided to dress up carefully and then resolutely stepped forward.
She was wearing an extremely gorgeous dress, which was embroidered with exquisite patterns, and on her head she wore dazzling jewelry, each piece of which shone with dazzling light.
In this way, the foreign princess walked quickly towards the front court with full of expectations and light steps.
Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. When she just reached the entrance of the front court, she was ruthlessly blocked by a group of eunuchs who were waiting there.
The eunuchs bowed their heads and said in unison, "Your Highness, please forgive us for our rudeness. This is an important place of the former dynasty. According to the rules, people from the harem are absolutely not allowed to enter without permission. I hope Your Highness will not embarrass us servants."
After hearing these words, the foreign princess was so angry that she stomped her feet. However, facing this group of eunuchs with a determined attitude, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she could do nothing at this moment.
In the harem that was as deep as the sea, silence quietly spread.
However, beneath this silence, a storm is brewing.
Although the extremely noble queen had not yet made any remarks, the impatient imperial concubine could no longer suppress her inner anger.
At this time, the Imperial Concubine was sitting in her magnificent palace, with a cold and contemptuous smile on her face. She said indignantly: "Humph! This little princess from a foreign country is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. She is so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Come to think of it, perhaps it is because she has been holding the important position of Crown Princess for a long time, and dealing with various difficult matters has become a habit for her.
So, the imperial concubine stood up without hesitation and decided to personally deal with this foreign princess who dared to challenge her authority.
She just waved her jade hand, and a group of well-trained and obedient palace maids followed closely behind her.
The group marched towards the foreign princess's residence in a mighty and aggressive manner.
They walked hurriedly, as if a storm was about to sweep over, and the entire harem was filled with a tense atmosphere because of their actions.
Today, the entire Great Xia Kingdom is in a state of bustle, and everyone is busy preparing for the big event that is about to happen.
People were walking in a hurry, with expressions of anxiety and tension on their faces, as if there was an invisible and powerful force behind them urging them to speed up.
However, perhaps in this vast land, only the vast grassland is still full of endless power.
There, the wind howled, causing the green grass to sway like waves.
In the early morning, when the sun has just risen, the hardworking herdsmen have already gotten up early. Their eyes are firm and steady, looking at the boundless skyline in the distance.
Because everyone knows that in more than half a month, the terrible locust army will attack.
