Chapter 58: Carrying on the Evil Love to the End

Chapter 58: Carrying on the Evil Love to the End

The original owner was the Queen of Daqing Kingdom and the granddaughter of Duke Zhenguo. She was selected into the palace at the age of sixteen and became the successor to the new emperor.

The emperor's empress was his childhood sweetheart, and she died in childbirth, leaving two lives.

The original owner became the queen as soon as she entered the palace. Although there were many concubines who had followed the emperor from the royal palace, not many of them were given high positions. There were only two concubines, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.

The original owner thought that even if the emperor didn't like her, he would still give her the respect of a queen. However, she didn't expect that in the second year of her marriage, the emperor brought back a woman from outside the palace who looked 80% similar to the previous queen.

That woman was the time-traveling girl Bai Yaoyao. Bai Yaoyao traveled through time from the world of cultivation. The first time her soul traveled through time, she became Gao, the legal wife of Zhao Wei, who was a prince at the time. Because of difficult childbirth and the retrograde flow of spiritual energy, she lost her memory. So when she traveled through time for the second time, she did not remember her "previous life" and had a deep love affair with Gao Wei.

It wasn't until both of them were covered in bruises that they remembered.

The concubines of the original owner and Gao Wei acted as the friction between the two. As long as Bai Yaoyao was unhappy, the concubines in the harem would be unlucky. Knowing which concubine would compete for favor, Bai Yaoyao would cast a bad luck talisman, and the concubines would be crippled if not killed.

In the end, the concubines all became victims of their love.

"Shan'er, after entering the palace, you must be virtuous and generous, manage the harem, and expand the royal family..."

Zhang Shan bid farewell to her parents, got on the bridal sedan, entered the palace from the East Gate, completed the ceremony of crowning the queen with the emperor, and accepted the worship of court officials and ladies of honor.

At night, Zhang Shan waited for a long time but the emperor did not enter Fengzao Palace, so she had to rest alone.

On the wedding night, the emperor took off his wedding robe early and hid in his and Gao Miaoyi's wedding room, getting drunk.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Shan opened her eyes, got up from the phoenix bed, changed into black clothes, left the palace and came to a mountain village.

There lived a hunter in the village. He had a horrible scar on his face and could not speak. Everyone in the village avoided him.

At this time, the hunter stood under the waterfall, letting the spring water wash away the bloody smell on his body.

He was thrown into the river and floated to this mountain village with the river water. He had this scar on his face since he was a child. If it weren't for this scar, he would be 90% similar to someone else.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew by, and the man's consciousness became blurred. He only felt hot all over, and then a strange trembling sensation spread from his toes to his whole body, as if he was floating on a small boat...

An hour later, Zhang Shan ended the battle and took Gao Wei back with her on the way back to the palace.

The next day, Gao Wei got up from bed and saw Zhang Shan dressing up, and his face turned pale with fright.

It was not until I saw the veil that the nanny brought up that I truly understood what had happened last night.

"Your Majesty, are you thirsty?"

The nanny brought up a cup of tea. Gao Wei's head was still a little dizzy from last night's hangover and his throat happened to be dry, so he took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"I still have official business to attend to."

He said this coldly and left.

There was no empress dowager in the palace, so Zhang Shan didn't have to serve tea. She just had to wait for the concubines to come and pay their respects to her.

After Zhang Shan finished her breakfast, the concubines were already waiting in the hall. When they looked up and saw a bright yellow dress, they all knelt down in greeting.

Maybe Gao Miaoyi had set too many rules for them, so they were all very well-behaved. The way they dressed looked old-fashioned, even though they were only twenty-four or twenty-twenty-five years old.

Yes, they were still girls and Gao Wei did not touch them.

"Get up. There are no big rules here. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, I'm easy to talk to."

However, what Zhang Shan was thinking in her heart was, you guys have to help me cause trouble, the bigger the better!

"Do Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu like dark blue and dark purple clothes? I have some fabrics with more delicate colors here, peach red, go and get them for Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu..."

Zhang Shan gave the concubines a lot of rewards and dressed them up beautifully, which made people's eyes light up again and again.

Perhaps because of Zhang Shan's "breaking the rules", Gao Wei gradually became attached to the harem of concubines. Zhang Shan completed the first KPI, and the second one will be completed after October.

During this period, good news kept coming from the harem. First, the Queen was pregnant, then Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu were pregnant. Gradually, all the concubines who had been favored by the Emperor became pregnant.

Gao Wei seemed to have become numb, and there was no trace of joy on his face even when it came to his own child.

After ten months of pregnancy, Zhang Shan gave birth to the eldest prince. Gao Wei did not give him a name. The name was chosen by Zhang Shan herself, Gao Ming.

Afterwards, the concubines in the harem gave birth one after another, and all of them were princesses. Given the difficult birth of twin daughters by the Empress Yuan before, no one suspected anything.

Gao Wei didn't like his son, but he was still somewhat moved by the newborn princess, probably because he remembered his eldest and second princesses who had died young.

"Empress, I heard that the Emperor brought back a girl from outside the palace. I wonder how the Emperor wants to arrange for her? What position should he give her?"

"Miss Bai saved the emperor's life. The emperor has already discussed with me and decided to make Miss Bai a noble concubine with the title 'Yi' and grant her the right to live in Guanju Palace."

When the concubines heard the word "Yi", their faces turned unhappy, and it was obvious that they had PTSD.

Soon, the eunuch outside the door sang: "Noble Concubine Yi has arrived!"

Bai Yaoyao walked towards us gracefully with lotus steps. When everyone saw her, their faces turned pale and they subconsciously saluted her.

Bai Yaoyao: "Get up, I am here to see the Queen!"

It was a very perfunctory greeting, but Zhang Shan did not blame him.

"Seeing you, I feel like seeing an old friend... Are you used to being in the palace? If you have any requests, just tell me, I can satisfy them. If I don't have anything, I will find it for you... for you."

The emperor cared too much, the concubines were too fearful, and the queen was too enthusiastic, which made Bai Yaoyao feel unreal. Is there something she didn't know?

With this doubt in mind, Bai Yaoyao began to find out what was wrong and soon found out the reason. It turned out that she looked 80% similar to Empress Yuan.

"You scumbag, you actually used me, the dignified Fairy Taoyao, as a substitute. You made me a substitute. I'm afraid you won't die fast enough!"

She didn't mention a word that she wanted to absorb the dragon energy and national destiny, so she schemed to offend Gao Wei.

But so what? It was Gao Wei who wronged her first.

"You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Having lost the halo of love, Bai Yaoyao didn't care how much Gao Wei loved "her" and she did not hold back at all in her quest to seize Gao Wei's life.

Gao Wei had just ascended the throne and had not yet firmly established his position, so naturally the dragon energy was pitifully scarce, and vitality became Bai Yaoyao's best nourishment.

The changes in Gao Wei were seen by the court officials and concubines. The latter dared not say a word, while the former risked their lives to make such a protest.

The evil concubine brought disaster to the country, and even Zhang Shan had to take refuge in a temple with her children. Only after Bai Yaoyao had killed all the royal children and all the stubborn ministers were dead, was Zhang Shan escorted back to the palace.

Looking at Gao Wei lying on the dragon bed, Zhang Shan couldn't say a word of pity.

However, Bai Yaoyao's spiritual roots had been removed by Zhang Shan a long time ago. Without them, she could not use any magic and became a complete mortal.

When Bai Yaoyao appeared in front of everyone again, she had turned into a white-haired old lady. She was beheaded on the day Gao Wei died. Gao Wei was scared to death when he saw Bai Yaoyao like this.

Daqing had been completely ravaged by Bai Yaoyao and Gao Wei, and was in a state of disrepair and need to be rebuilt. The eldest prince, Gao Ming, was only three years old and could not support such a country.

Finally, recommended by the court officials who had survived by chance, Zhang Shan ascended the throne and became the empress. She opened the imperial examinations, recruited talents, emphasized agriculture, promoted production, and encouraged the development of commerce...

Forty years later, Zhang Shan passed the throne to his son.

He died of illness five years later at the age of sixty-five.

After Zhang Shan died, Gao Ming dug out a skeleton from a remote corner of the mountain and buried it on the east side of Huiling, while the concubines of "Emperor Huang" were buried on the west side.

And the Emperor of Desolation...

Enjoy the shameful mausoleum alone!
