Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Beijing.

Everything is in complete chaos.

The images in the sky completely exposed the true nature of the Great Xia royal family.

……

Caishikou.

The people spontaneously organized themselves, carrying rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, and frantically hurled them at the residences of the corrupt officials who usually preyed on the local people.

"Kill these sons of bitches!"

……

Inside the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The Grand Tutor of the court slumped in his armchair, his face ashen as he stared at the gate outside, which was teetering on the brink of collapse after being rammed by the mob.

"Quick! Grind the ink!"

He scrambled to the desk and grabbed the calligraphy brush.

"I must write a memorial to the throne! I must denounce that beast, Jie of Xia!"

The Grand Tutor wrote furiously while simultaneously hurling insults.

"I want to impeach Xia Jie! I have absolutely no connection with him! I am a good official who wholeheartedly serves the people!"

The butler approached, trembling, and asked, "Master, should we pack our valuables and run away?"

"Running away?! The whole world belongs to the emperor, and there are mobs outside demanding to kill officials. Where can we run to?!"

The Grand Tutor handed the newly written document to the steward.

"Quick! Post these at the city gate! Let everyone know that I am sworn enemies with the Xia family!"

Not only the Grand Tutor, but also the Ministers of the Six Ministries and the Nine Ministers.

These high-ranking officials, who were usually so imposing in the court, are now all hiding in their studies, frantically writing "proclamations against Xia".

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; no one wants to be buried with the Xia family at this time.

……

Imperial City.

The commander of the Imperial Guards stood on the Meridian Gate tower, watching Lin Mo's pronouncement in the sky, and then looking at the dark mass of angry people outside the city.

He suddenly drew his sword and cut the dragon flag on the Meridian Gate in half.

"Close the city gates! Seal off the harem!"

The lieutenant leaned closer, hesitatingly asking, "Commander, what about the royal family members?"

"To hell with them!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards spat.

"The old emperor is dead, the crown prince has become the enemy of the world, the Great Xia is finished!"

"We'll hold the palace and wait for General Lin to take over! Anyone who dares to open the gates and let the Xia family escape, I'll chop them up!"

The heavy vermilion palace gates were completely slammed shut with a dull thud.

The heavy steel bolts were pushed up by the combined efforts of the Imperial Guards.

……

Fengyi Palace, main hall.

A beautiful woman dressed in a dark gold phoenix robe leaned back on a phoenix chair, her chest heaving violently.

She's in her thirties, but she looks like a woman in her early twenties.

At this moment, the phoenix robe was taut, and the white cream at the collar was about to burst out.

She was the Empress Dowager Mu Wanrong, whom the old emperor had married three years ago despite opposition.

She was also Xia Jie's nominal mother.

"Fool! Useless! A hopeless case!"

Mu Wanrong grabbed the teacup beside her and smashed it hard on the ground.

Bang! Crash!

The finest imperial porcelain was shattered on the ground.

The palace maids and eunuchs inside the hall knelt on the ground, their heads pressed against the gold bricks, not daring to breathe loudly.

Half an hour ago, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.

Mu Wanrong watched as her "son" was exposed to the world.

Especially when she saw him having an affair with the old emperor's favorite concubine, Mu Wanrong was so angry that she almost fell off her phoenix throne.

How embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.

The dignity of the Great Xia royal family, accumulated over hundreds of years, was completely burned to ashes by this fool.

"That unfilial son... he's utterly hopeless!"

Mu Wanrong gritted her teeth, her voice almost squeezed out from between them.

She had advised him before that since the old emperor had passed away, he should ascend the throne and become emperor.

Once he's firmly seated on the throne, he can send a large army to wipe out Lin Mo; there's no need for him to personally go to the front lines and risk his life.

But this idiot just wouldn't listen!

Now that the curtain of heaven has been raised, he himself deserves to die, and he even wants to drag me and the entire Great Xia down with him!

Just then.

The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

A young eunuch stepped over the threshold, tripped, and slid to Mu Wanrong's feet, braking with his face.

"Your Majesty! The sky has fallen!"

The little eunuch's face was covered in blood, and he was crying and begging for his parents.

Mu Wanrong kicked the little eunuch in the shoulder.

"Stop howling! I'm not dead yet!"

The young eunuch covered his shoulder and kowtowed repeatedly.

"The Imperial Guard Commander Zhao Wu has rebelled! He's led his men to seal off the Meridian Gate! They've surrounded the entire palace so tightly that not even a fly can get out!"

Mu Wanrong's expression changed drastically.

"Zhao Wu? That dog who usually wags its tail at the sight of me dares to bite its master?"

"Zhao Wu has declared that the Great Xia Dynasty is finished! He's going to detain all the women in the harem and use them as a pledge of allegiance to Lin Mo!"

The little eunuch was so frightened that he couldn't stop trembling.

He also said... said...

The young eunuch stammered.

"What are you saying! Release it now!"

"He said that you, Empress Dowager, are the culprit! He'll have you tied up, stripped naked, and hung up until General Lin comes to deal with you!"

Mu Wanrong was so angry that she laughed instead.

Feng Lu stepped directly on the little eunuch's head and crushed it forcefully.

"Well, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. These opportunists change their tune faster than turning the pages of a book."

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

"How about... how about we change into palace maid clothes and crawl out through a dog hole?"

Mu Wanrong stopped and looked down at him.

"Crawling through a dog hole?"

"I am the Empress Dowager of the Great Xia Dynasty, the mother of the nation, and you expect me to crawl through a dog hole?"

"Guards, drag this jinx out and give him thirty strokes of the cane."

The young eunuch was terrified and frantically kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, spare me! This servant was only doing this for Your Majesty's own good!"

Several old nannies rushed in, covered the young eunuch's mouth, and dragged him out.

A muffled thud sounded outside the hall, and then silence quickly followed.

The main hall was deathly silent.

Mu Wanrong sat back down on the phoenix chair, rubbed her temples, and forced herself to calm down.

The situation is clear.

The Great Xia, that wrecked ship, has sunk completely.

King Jie of Xia died.

The old emperor became a dried-up corpse.

A million-strong army mutinied.

It's only a matter of time before Lin Mo takes over the capital.

Run? Where to run?

The palace gates were sealed off.

Even if they escaped the palace, the outside world was filled with angry people.

If the Empress Dowager of the Great Xia Dynasty were to fall into the hands of a mob, her fate would be worse than death.

Staying in the palace might offer a glimmer of hope.

You must save yourself.

Mu Wanrong stood up and paced around the hall.

Lin Mo...

The name kept swirling in her mind.

In her memory, he was just a good-for-nothing playboy from the Lin family.

But in the sky, it transformed into a demon god standing in mid-air, covering the sky with one hand.

What can we use to fight him?

A showdown of force?

The palace guards wouldn't even be able to stop him; they'd just be throwing their lives away.

A power struggle?

Lin Mo has already overturned the table in Da Xia, why would he care about me, this empty shell of an empress dowager?

A battle of money?

The national treasury is so empty it could run a horse.

Mu Wanrong stopped and glanced at the several young and beautiful palace maids in the hall.

and many more.

On that day, what conditions did Xia Jie offer to save his life?

"You like women, don't you? I'll give you all three thousand beauties of my harem! I'll marry you all the most beautiful princesses of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

The image of Xia Jie roaring echoed in Xiao Wanrong's mind.

How did Lin Mo react at that time?

He did not refuse.

Moreover, he was accompanied by a bewitching woman wearing a purple gauze dress and showing off her long white legs.

Mu Wanrong's eyes lit up, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Lustful.

Being lecherous is good...
