Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

52: Set off to warOn the heavenly screen, the images continued to play.

[The Emperor was seen gazing at the already fainted Rou’er. In his eyes, which should have been filled with tenderness and sweetness, there was now a heart-palpitating mix of gentleness and terror.]

[He whispered softly, ”Rou’er, you can only belong to me alone!” His words revealed a near-frenzied possessiveness.]

[Silver Time-Space Zhang Fei: I really can’t understand, is a woman really that important?]

[Ye Siren from the Iron Universe: How could those of you who have never loved understand?]

[Iron Time-Space Brother Xiong: Heh, you understand? You’ve loved? How hilarious!]

[Ye Siren from the Iron Universe: Brother Xiong...]

[The Emperor held his beloved woman tightly in his arms, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world. Gradually, drowsiness set in, and he slowly closed his eyes, drifting into sleep to the sound of Rou’er’s soft breathing.]

[An unknown amount of time passed, and when the Emperor slowly woke from his slumber, the first thing he saw was Rou’er, still sleeping beside him.]

[At this moment, the sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell upon her beautiful face, making her look even more like a budding flower, evoking pity and love.]

[The Emperor couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke Rou’er’s cheek, his eyes filled with endless tenderness as he whispered, ”Continue to sleep peacefully.” After saying that, he leaned down and planted a deep kiss on Rou’er’s smooth forehead. Then, the Emperor got up carefully, tidied his clothes with light movements, and left the room, looking back with every step.]

[However, shortly after the Emperor stepped out of the room, Rou’er, who had seemed fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. She stared straight at the bed canopy above her, her gaze empty and lifeless, as if she had lost her Soul.]

[Hao Jiaqi from the Gold Time Dimension: So she was already awake. Why didn’t the Emperor notice?]

[Ding Xiaoyu from the Gold Time Dimension: She probably just woke up?]

[Then, she slowly sat up and looked down at the blue and purple marks on her body, tears instantly blurring her vision. Her lips trembled slightly as she kept murmuring to herself, ”Mo, I am no longer clean. Would you still be willing to accept me like this...” After saying this, Rou’er seemed to have all her strength drained away, collapsing weakly onto the bed. She covered herself tightly from head to toe with the quilt, trying to escape the cruel reality before her, and finally fell into a deep sleep once more. Perhaps only in her dreams could she find a moment of peace.]

[Sun Shang Xiang from Silver Space: So pitiful. Suddenly, I feel that this Emperor is too detestable!]

[Jin Shi Kong Black Dragon: The Emperor suits my taste. If you like it, just snatch it. Haha, not bad at all!]

[...After the Emperor returned to his palace, he looked at the mountain of Memorials and rubbed his temples impatiently. He called out loudly, and the eunuch at the door, hearing the voice, hurried in, knelt on the ground, and shouted respectfully, ”Your Majesty.”]

[The Emperor’s gaze shifted from the Memorials to the eunuch, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure: ”Invite the Grand Secretary into the palace.”]

[The eunuch’s body trembled slightly as he quickly replied, ”Yes, Your Majesty.” He then stood up and hurried out of the palace to deliver the decree to the Grand Secretary’s Residence.]

[Copper Time Dimension Ariel: This Emperor isn’t that scary, why is this little eunuch so afraid?]

[Cao Cao from the Silver Time Dimension: He controls the power of life and death over you. How could one not be afraid? One mistake and your life is gone!]

[Xia Mei from the Iron Time Dimension: This Emperor isn’t someone who kills the innocent indiscriminately. On the contrary, he makes everyone live very well!]

[The Emperor watched the eunuch’s retreating back, his dissatisfaction growing stronger. He muttered to himself, ”You write these Memorials yourselves, so you should review them yourselves! A whole bunch of greeting Memorials, do you think I’m too idle?” He picked up a Memorial at random, flipped through it briefly, and found that most of the content was just trivial pleasantries, making him even more annoyed.]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: I can relate to this. A huge pile of documents is really annoying to look at.]

[Jiu Lai from Iron Space: Isn’t there someone to help you handle it?]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: That would be our Great Master Xiu!]

[Before long, the Grand Secretary hurried over and bowed as soon as he entered: ”Your subject pays his respects to Your Majesty.”]

[The Emperor waved his hand, signaling the Grand Secretary to dispense with the formalities. He pointed to the pile of Memorials on the table and said, ”Look at these Memorials, what kind of rubbish are they! I am busy with state affairs every day, where do I have time to read these boring things?”]

[The Grand Secretary stepped forward a few paces, looked carefully at those Memorials, and secretly groaned in his heart.]

[He knew that although these Memorials were tedious, they could not be completely ignored. Thus, he cautiously advised, ”May Your Majesty appease your anger. Although these Memorials are tedious, there is no lack of important information within them. Your subject is willing to share Your Majesty’s burdens and filter out some important Memorials for Your Majesty’s review.”]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: That’s the way! Since there’s someone else to do it, why do it yourself? You’d be exhausted to death!]

[Hearing this, the Emperor’s expression softened slightly, but he still said, ”Even so, it cannot always be like this. What I need is a minister who can share my pressure, not a servant who only knows how to filter Memorials for me.”]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: Elementary school classmate, doesn’t this sound a bit like you? ’I need a subordinate who can help me share the burden...’]

[Huyan Jue Luo Xiu of the Iron Time Dimension: A Kou, don’t talk nonsense!]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: Huyan Jue Luo Xiu, let’s meet up another day!]

[The Grand Secretary quickly nodded in agreement, while mentally calculating how to improve the Memorial system and reduce unnecessary trouble. He said, ”Your subject understands Your Majesty’s intentions and will definitely think of a way to improve the Memorial system as soon as possible, so that Your Majesty can focus more on the great affairs of the world.”]

[The Emperor nodded with satisfaction after hearing the Grand Secretary’s words. He said, ”Very well, go and see to it. Remember, what I need is efficiency, not formality.”]

[The Grand Secretary took his leave, secretly feeling lucky that he had escaped a disaster. He knew that although this Memorial storm had temporarily subsided, it would take more effort to truly solve the problem.]

[In the following days, the Grand Secretary began to work on improving the Memorial system. He reduced the number of greeting Memorials and stipulated that only important matters could be reported to the Emperor. At the same time, he also established a specialized agency to handle Memorials, improving processing efficiency.]

[Illusion Time-Space: This Emperor has a good minister!]

[The Emperor was quite satisfied seeing the Grand Secretary’s efforts and results. He gradually devoted more energy to state affairs, and because of this, the country gradually moved towards prosperity and greatness.]

[However, just when everything seemed to be on the right track, a sudden crisis broke the peace. A large-scale rebellion broke out in the border region, and the rebel army was unstoppable, quickly occupying several cities. When the news reached the capital, the entire court was in an uproar.]

[Jin Bao San from Gold Space: It’s a war!]

[Ding Dang from the Copper Universe: It’s not going to be the end, is it?]

[Xia Mei from the Iron Time Dimension: It’s not that easy to die!]

[Xia Yu from Iron Space: Nympho Mei, they’re talking about the country being finished!]

[Xia Mei from the Iron Time Dimension: It’s all the same. If the country falls, can the Emperor still live?]

[The Emperor faced this crisis without any fear. He quickly mobilized the army and personally led the troops to the border to suppress the rebellion.]

[The night before the Emperor set out, he specifically went to the basement, looked at Rou’er, and said, ”Rou’er, I’m going to war. Wait for my return.”]

[Rou’er’s eyes flickered, who knows what she was thinking, she only gave a small response!]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: Could it be that she wants to take advantage of the Emperor going out to war to escape?]

[Silver Time Space Diao Chan: This is the imperial palace. How could a weak woman like her possibly get out of the palace gates!]

[The Emperor stepped forward to kiss the woman who had captivated his Soul; he wanted to cherish her properly before setting out!]

[Rou’er had already grown accustomed to it and did not resist, only silently closing her eyes and enduring the Emperor’s affection, her mouth letting out charming groans to her heart’s content.]

[Sun Quan: Just like a breeding pig, mating all day long!]

[Sun Shang Xiang from Silver Space: Stinky second brother, do you even know how to talk?]

[Hao Jiaqi and Ding Xiaoyu from Class One blushed once again!]

[Arthur Wang smiled, ”Have you two never done it?”]

[With a boom, their faces turned even redder, and they buried their heads on the table, pretending not to hear!]

[Wang Dadong laughed loudly, ”Haha... Narcissist, you’re way too blunt!” ]

[Cai Wuxiong also slapped the table and said, ”Wu wu aa aa...”]

[Cai Yunhan’s face was flushed red, ”Sister, you can’t!”]

[Arthur Wang saw Cai Wuxiong’s actions, and for some reason, he understood what they meant. In an instant, his face turned ashen!]

[Cai Wuxiong saw that Arthur seemed angry. Having heard his inner thoughts, she knew he hated her, and she felt so sad!]

[Cai Yunhan glared at Arthur Wang, also feeling frustrated with her sister’s lack of progress!]

[The Emperor spent the entire night tirelessly taking what he wanted. Rou’er fainted again and again, and it wasn’t until he was satisfied that the Emperor finally let her go!]

[Setting out the next day, in this battle, he displayed extraordinary military talent and firm determination, ultimately successfully suppressing the rebellion and maintaining the stability of the imperial court.]

[Having experienced this crisis, the Emperor gained a deeper understanding of a monarch’s responsibility and duty.]

[He couldn’t wait to return to his palace to see Rou’er.]

[Heartbreak Man: Sigh, lust is a knife over the head! As an Emperor, the most taboo thing is beautiful women!]

[Wang Dadong: Beautiful women? Then doesn’t he have three thousand concubines in his harem, even more?]

[Arthur Wang: Heartbreak Man means that an Emperor cannot be moved by true feelings!]

[Wang Dadong: Why not? If one isn’t moved by feelings, then they aren’t a normal person, right?]}
