He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan's lips curled into a playful smile, her phoenix eyes curving into a beautiful arc.

"Insults and bullying? This is nothing, this is just the beginning. You're in for a lot more trouble in the future."

Xu Yi clenched his fists in anger, his face turning red. He was so angry at this woman that he almost died on the spot.

Looking at him like this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Qingluan's eyes, and her tone softened slightly.

Are you hungry?

Xu Yi replied irritably

"I'm hungry, but even if I'm hungry, you won't give me food, will you?"

Su Qingluan slowly sat up, flipped her jade hand, and a jade pendant appeared in her palm.

"How could that be? Your master isn't that cruel."

As she spoke, she channeled spiritual energy into the jade pendant.

A moment later, the palace door was pushed open, and palace maids entered one after another, each carrying a food tray.

The leading palace maid recited a mantra, and a huge round table instantly appeared in the open space on the other side of the palace. The palace maids methodically placed food platters on it, and the table was filled with the aroma of delicious dishes.

Su Qingluan stood up and took a few steps. Upon seeing this, all the palace maids immediately curtsied.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

She nodded slightly and turned to look at Xu Yi.

"Let's eat."

Xu Yi glanced at the chains binding him, then at the round table in the distance, and frowned.

"The chain is only so long, how am I supposed to get across to eat?"

Su Qingluan's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes filled with mockery.

"Who told you these were for you to eat?"

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and nodded.

Two maids immediately stepped forward. One brought a small table and placed it in front of Xu Yi, while the other placed half a bowl of rice porridge without any rice on it.

Then, at Su Qingluan's signal, all the palace maids withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the palace chamber.

Xu Yi stared at the bowl of water in silence for a moment before slowly speaking.

"This isn't even as good as what I feed the pigs I grow at home."

Su Qingluan stood there, her red dress accentuating her snow-white skin, and her red lips curved slightly.

"That's right."

Xu Yi felt so angry that he could hardly breathe.

He closed his eyes and lay heavily on the ground, curling up into a ball.

Su Qingluan stood to the side, watching him like this, and chuckled softly, her voice clear and slightly mocking.

"Are you sure you want to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead?"

Xu Yi ignored her and continued to stay there.

Seeing that Xu Yi dared to ignore her, Su Qingluan's smile faded, and her tone turned cold.

"If you don't get up, I won't hesitate to stomp my foot on your stinky face."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi jumped up and glared at her angrily.

"You madman! How could someone like you become emperor?"

Su Qingluan glanced at him, her phoenix eyes slightly upturned, carrying a hint of nonchalant arrogance.

"I secured my throne through my own abilities; what right do you, a mere prisoner, have to offer your opinions?"

Xu Yi curled his lip in disdain upon hearing this; he really wanted to expose her.

You have the nerve to say it's based on your own ability?

If any of your father's dozen or so sons had survived, the throne would not have been yours as a woman.

However, he had to admit that Su Qingluan did indeed have exceptional qualities.

After taking over the empire, she acted swiftly and decisively, reforming the court, expanding the territory, and single-handedly leading this humble nation to become one of the top powers on the continent in just over three thousand years.

She herself even broke through to the Emperor Realm, becoming one of the strongest people on the continent.

Xu Yi gritted his teeth and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

If I were to reveal what I learned in my past life, I would only suffer even more.

Su Qingluan saw through his thoughts, but didn't point it out. She simply said slowly...

"You just heard those palace maids calling me 'Your Majesty,' why weren't you surprised at all? What's going on?"

Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat, realizing he had forgotten to conceal this fact.

He composed himself and immediately put on an innocent look.

"I already guessed that you are no ordinary person just from the layout of this place."

"The palace is so magnificent and has magical powers. I really didn't expect that your identity could be so extraordinary, that you are actually the emperor."

After saying that, he continued, feigning ignorance.

"So, why do you, an emperor, torment a farmer like me?"

"I haven't broken the law, nor have I offended you. I really can't figure out how I've bothered you."

Su Qingluan looked at Xu Yi's feigned innocence and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She slowly leaned down, extended a slender finger, and gently lifted Xu Yi's chin, forcing him to look at her.

"I'll torture you, what can you do about it?"

After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and gave a faint smile, but there was little warmth in her eyes.

Xu Yi was furious at her attitude and opened his mouth to bite her finger, but Su Qingluan slightly deflected the fingertip, and he missed.

Then Su Qingluan grabbed his cheek with her other hand, the force not strong, but enough to immobilize him.

"Stop wasting your time and eat."

Xu Yi's cheeks were pinched until they were distorted, and he stammered...

"You...you have the nerve to call this...food?! I won't eat disaster relief food!"

Su Qingluan withdrew her hand, straightened up, and looked at him with a cold smile.

"If you don't want this, but want something better, that's fine too. Just call me master."

After hearing this, Xu Yi silently picked up the bowl next to him and lowered his head to drink.

"If you call me master, I'd rather eat disaster relief food."

Seeing this, Su Qingluan didn't stop him. She just stood aside and watched him until he had taken two sips before slowly saying...

"Is it good?"

Xu Yi looked up, pretending it was delicious, and smacked his lips.

"It's much better than what you have on your table. It's light, refreshing, and suits my taste."

Su Qingluan nodded and said in a calm tone

"It tastes good, that's all that matters. I spat some saliva into it."

"puff!!!"

Xu Yi suddenly spat out the thin porridge he had just drunk, splattering it all over the floor. He pointed at Su Qingluan, trembling with anger.

"You dog emperor, I'm going to kill you!"

Looking at his exasperated appearance, Su Qingluan felt an indescribable sense of pleasure welling up inside her.

In all her years, she had never been as happy as she was today.

She turned and walked to the table, sat down, picked up a delicate pastry, pinched the edge of the pastry with her fingertips, took a small bite, and chewed it slowly and deliberately.

Then he looked up at Xu Yi, his tone light and airy.

"Do you know that if anyone else spoke to me like that, their entire family would be executed?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi not only wasn't afraid, but instead burst into laughter.

Hahahaha!

"Execute him! Execute him now!"

"Don't even mention exterminating my nine generations; if you have the guts, exterminate ten, thirty-six, or even sixty-four generations!"

"Quickly find someone to check and see if I still have any relatives in this world!"

After he transmigrated, he was all alone. The so-called extermination of nine generations of his family was nothing but a joke to him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the chains on his body suddenly tightened, and a tremendous force pulled him violently to the ground.
