After discussing the matters with the officials, Helian Yi sent envoys to the Kingdom of Nan Qing first. He stayed in the palace and arranged all the matters. There was a spell that would arrive in a second. He didn't need that much time.

This day, Helian Xi Chen and Prince Cheng were discussing matters of state when the empress dowager suddenly arrived.

"Your son greets the Empress Dowager." Prince Cheng immediately stood up and bowed.

"Your majesty, your highness, This Dowager didn't disturb you, did she?" Her Majesty was aware that the two brothers were discussing matters of state, but she intentionally spoke out.

"The empress dowager can just send someone to inform this subject. Why would she need to come personally?" In truth, he already knew what the Empress Dowager's appearance meant. It was just that he had already made up his mind on this matter.

"Your majesty, I pity those royal grandchildren of This Dowager. No matter how much you dislike children, they're still your flesh and blood. How could you be so heartless?" The imperial concubines were forced to drink the birth control medicine, and each one of them harbored a grudge against the empress dowager.

Helian Yi Chen could not argue with this. The children were not his. How could he not tell them?

"Empress Dowager, you already have an imperial grandson. Since we have an imperial son, the country of Reno doesn't need many heirs. This son thinks that Han'er alone is enough." Recently, Helian Xi Chen had been troubled by this matter. Let's not talk about the later wives, those people from all over the world, especially his daughter's pregnant officials, had requested for orders again and again.

"Alright, this one truly has a grandson, but you don't need to drive them out of the palace right? They are all your wives, your majesty. If you drive them out of the palace, how will they live their lives in the future? "

The empress dowager may have been the empress dowager today, but she was also walking over from her concubine's side, feeling the fate of her concubines even more deeply than before. Once she entered the palace, the imperial concubines would be like the sea, not to mention that all of them were the empress dowager's men.

"Empress Dowager, your son has been thinking about this question for a long time. In this harem, there is only one man, and there are dozens of harem concubines, and this doesn't even include palace maids. Your son knows that his abilities are limited, and can't bear to delay their good years, release them from the palace, find a new life, and start over again." Helian Yi Chen explained to Her Majesty.

"Ridiculous. Since ancient times, the emperor has never been to the back courtyard of the three palaces. Is this really your idea, or is it because the empress isn't willing to return to the palace?" The empress dowager hit the nail on the head. Ever since they found out that the empress was still alive, everyone pointed the crux of the problem at her.

According to time, the prince had been born almost two years ago, yet he still hadn't returned to the palace. There was definitely something fishy about this, and if anyone dared to say that the emperor wanted to cripple the imperial harem at this critical moment, then it must be because the empress was lacking something to do with it.

If Luo Xue from far away in the Southern Qing Country knew that she had taken the blame for no reason, who knew what she would think.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, this has nothing to do with the empress. It's all this subject's own will." He was no longer the same Helian Chen as before, nor was he the tyrant that the little girl spoke of. This matter definitely could not involve the little girl, if not, even if the little girl came back, the empress dowager would probably not look well, and there would inevitably be new problems.

Seeing the emperor protect the empress so, the empress dowager felt pained. "Your majesty, it's not that This Dowager said, if it wasn't related to the empress, why was Your Majesty so unrestrained recently? As far as I know, for the past few months, it's been a night of spring and night for the emperor. How can This Dowager believe this? This made the concubines in the imperial harem unable to endure, let alone the fact that the emperor had ordered them to give birth to a baby. "

"Muhou, I hope that you will not interfere in this matter. This is my harem, and I have the power to handle everything in my harem." Helian Yi Chen knew that she would never be able to explain herself to the Empress Dowager, so he had to speak in a serious tone.

"Your Majesty, are you ordering This Dowager?" The empress dowager looked at Helian Chen in astonishment. Her eyes were moist and filled with disappointment and grief.

"If the empress dowager really thinks so, then this son has no choice. As for those other wives, this son pleads with the empress dowager not to interfere." When he had returned to the palace, the empress dowager had been the one to take care of him and protect him like a mother. He had not wanted to hurt her, but from both perspectives, if he did not persevere in this matter, the one who would be injured would definitely be Han'er and the little girl.

"Your Majesty, This Dowager pleads to you, begging you not to expel them from the palace, to leave the palace. They won't have a place to stay, the green lanterns and ancient buddhas, or perhaps …" The Empress began to cry, and at the same time she knelt down before Helian Chen.

"Empress Dowager, you …" Aren't you making things difficult for us? " Helian Chen held the Empress Dowager in his arms and said sorrowfully.

"Your majesty, This Dowager has also experienced the struggle for support of the imperial harem. This one knows their pain and suffering, and says that once they entered the palace, they would be as deep as the sea. If it wasn't for the sisters fighting with each other, this huge imperial harem probably wouldn't even have the courage to survive. Your majesty, how could you bear it …"

"Empress Dowager, since the palace doors are as deep as the sea, shouldn't Zhen let them out now?" Helian Yu was agitated. Her Majesty's words reminded him of a little girl. She always wanted to escape from the palace. Did she think that way too?

"Your majesty, if they weren't favored by the emperor, then going out would be good for them. But they are already emperors. Under the heavens, who would dare to marry them? "Does the emperor think they have anywhere else to go other than the green lights and the ancient buddhas?" The empress dowager's voice was filled with tears. This was the sorrow of the harem women. If they had died before, all of the favored concubines would have been buried alive. Fortunately, the Emperor was wise and abolished this inhumane system of burial.

"Then what does the empress dowager mean?" Helian Yu had a headache. From the looks of the Empress Dowager, it would be difficult for her to carry out this task in a short period of time.

"Your Majesty, please give them some time. If they are willing to leave, they can leave on their own, and we must also guarantee that they will live without worries for the rest of their lives. If they are unwilling to leave, please take back their sacred orders online and allow them to remain in the palace." Her Majesty said with tears in her eyes.

"Alright, we'll do as the empress dowager says. Younger brother Wang, I'll leave this matter to you. Zhen will go to the Southern Qingguo tomorrow." He did not want to have any contact with those women.

Although he knew that they were not at fault, those women were nothing more than random people to him.

"Your Majesty, this …" That's not so good. " Prince Cheng looked at the emperor in astonishment, not wanting to accept this hot potato.

If there's anything you don't understand, we have to hurry to the Southern Qingguo Country before it's too late. Moreover, we have to take Xue'er and her son back to the palace. I'll leave the matters of the imperial court and the imperial harem to you. Helian Yi patted Prince Cheng's shoulder as he explained.

"Your Majesty, your servant brother …" "Younger brother Chen …" Prince Cheng wanted to cry, but there were no tears. This was the imperial harem. What could he do? What would he dare to do?

Thus, Helian Xi Chen handed all the important matters of the imperial court to Prince Cheng, and he left on the same night.

That night, Luo Xue was awoken by the nightmare. She wanted to get up to read a book, but the morning light lit up …

"Ah …" When she lit up the lamp, she suddenly saw that Helian Yi, Chen San and Chen San who were sitting in the room were scared out of her wits. Luckily, she still had some rationality and covered her mouth in time.

"Why are you here?" Luo Xue finally found her normal voice. She looked at Helian Xi who had stood up in disbelief.

"I've said it before. Wherever you are, I will be there. Girl, did you really forget about me?" Helian Yi gazed tenderly at Luo Xue. She really wanted to hug her.

"I'm sorry, I don't know you. Please leave immediately, or else I will call someone." Luo Xue's face turned cold, refusing to hear anything he said.

Although he couldn't hear what Luo Xue was thinking in her heart, from her expression, Helian Xi knew that the little girl hadn't forgotten about her. Her eyes betrayed her, and that wasn't a strange gaze.

"Little girl, I was wrong. I apologize. Please give me a chance to make amends." Helian Xi held onto Luo Xue's shoulder with both of her hands, and spoke with a serious and repenting tone.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Hurry up and go, if you don't leave now, I'll call someone, little …" Just as Luo Xue was about to call Xiao Lan, Helian Xi forcefully pulled her into her embrace and covered her lips with her hands.

"Ugh …" Let go of me... "Ugh …"

Luo Xue resisted. In terms of strength, men naturally had the advantage. Luo Xue's resistance seemed like she wanted to reject it, but welcomed it instead.

Luo Xue's mind instantly went blank as she opened her eyes wide to look at the handsome face that was just inches away from her. She looked at his thick eyelashes which cast two feather-like shadows under the light, and looked at the two clusters of faintly pulsing flames within her ink-black eyes.

One of his hands was firmly holding the side of his face, and his fingers, which were covered in a thin cocoon, were stroking the tender skin of his face. His lips were covered, nibbling on it slowly and softly.

"Good girl, open your mouth!" I will remind you of the past, my queen. " A low, hoarse voice slowly spread out from her lips, slowly seeping into the brain that was affected by the sudden kiss. Luoxue came back to her senses, raised her hand to his chest and pushed him away while trying to avoid it.

Helian Yi lifted her other hand from her chest and clasped it behind her, her palm pressed against the back of her hand, holding it tightly. The bite on her lips, which had gone from soft to violent, broke open her teeth and reached into her mouth, sweeping it powerfully over her teeth and her tongue, which had nowhere to hide, as if she wanted to swallow her up.

She could only helplessly raise her head up to receive his nearly plundered kiss, her body unconsciously bending backwards from this domineering kiss, pressing and rubbing against his chest, stirring even deeper flames in his body. Somewhere the tension caused his breath to become ragged and heavy, his stained black eyes to throb with a devouring light, the kiss on his lips to become increasingly wild, the palm holding her cheek sucked into her hair as she restrained herself, and a strand of silky hair was slowly rubbed into her hair.

His palm, which had been suppressing Luo Xue, had already quietly released her. From the bottom of her clothes, his palm pressed against her slender back, pressing tightly against her back, pressing her whole body into his embrace. The force was so strong that it seemed to want to bury her in his embrace.
