Xiao Country, the first year of Kang Ning, spring.

The leaden clouds rolled eerily in the dark sky, and the faint sound of thunder seemed to be urging the man on. The wind ruffled the pear trees of the Regent's mansion, and the snow-white petals rose in the air. The man strode through this dismal scene like a meteor, his tall figure surprisingly not tainted by even the slightest disarray.

On such a dreadful night, the Empress Mother ordered the Regent to appear before her at once. In the dark, no one could see the dazzling smile on his lips.

The empress dowager's expression was grave as she was unable to conceal her anger when Xiao Jiexi walked like a shooting star with a carefree expression on his face as he entered Funing Palace. Without waiting for him to bow, or perhaps he had no intention of doing so at all, she rushed straight to him.

"Regent! How can you do such a creepy thing? How do you account for five lives? " Her phoenix eyes were slightly closed, but they were still filled with the same hostility. "You actually dare to present yourself at the door of my house to demonstrate your might, aren't you afraid of being shocked?!"

"Calm your anger, Empress Dowager." Xiao Jiexi's expression turned serious as he cupped his hands. "Doesn't the empress dowager think that we should first give this prince an explanation?"

"What do you want from This Dowager?" Her Majesty gave him a resentful look.

"What right does the empress dowager have to send so many girls to the prince's estate to disturb my peace and quiet?" From front to back, there were thirteen women! This King has been enduring patiently, but the empress dowager has become even more severe! "

"Impudent!" Xiao Jiexi, you dare to be so outrageous just because of your good nature? " She lifted her jade-like finger and pointed a trembling finger at his equally dark face.

Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched as he smiled gently. He held her hand and slowly said, "It's not because you have a good temper, but because you have me in your heart."

The empress dowager ruthlessly shook off his hand and said coldly, "Hugh and This Dowager did something."

"Jingyi," he instantly transformed into the appearance of a deep love god, and said with a voice as gentle as water, "Do we have to split up like this? You should have been my queen. "Everything in this palace should have been shared by you and me. Isn't that the case …"

"You shut up!" The Empress Mother forced herself not to be bewitched by his handsome face, forced herself not to dwell on the past. "You are now the regent, and you will be good enough to assist the Emperor and stabilize his mountains and rivers. "This Jiang Shan is..."

"It belongs to your Xi Er!" He impatiently interrupted, "Since This King has agreed to protect your mother's and your son's position, then I have no regrets."

"You forced the empress dowager to marry, and you still dare to say you had no regrets?" If I marry you, won't Xi Er become the laughingstock of the world? Therefore, it is out of good intentions that I have selected so many talented and good-looking women from the official eunuchs, so that you can have a lifelong companion. But now, not only are you not grateful, you even sent the female corpse to the palace.

"This King doesn't need you to worry about him!" His eyes looked at her ruthlessly, as if he had the ability to suck her soul. He stepped forward, wanting to swallow her whole, "You disturbed This King's heart, yet you didn't marry me. You used This King's feelings for you to help you achieve your position with Xi'er. As for those female corpses, whatever you decide is up to you. This King has nothing to fear! "

"Xiao-ka-kai, ka-kai-kai-kai-kai-kai-kai-kai-kai-kai-kai-kai-!"

The empress dowager's heart was filled with confusion. Her phoenix eyes dripped with tears as she watched the blazing figure disappear into the rain.
