Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Chapter 287 Everyone Loves Lanling Jun

"Since ancient times, autumn has been associated with sorrow and desolation, but I say that autumn days surpass even spring mornings. I stop my carriage to admire the maple forest at dusk, where the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers of February."

Luo Zheng was talking nonsense with a straight face.

The autumn air was crisp and clear, and he was in a pleasant mood as he left Zhao Ji and Xia Ji's palace.

After fighting a lifetime of wars, I can finally enjoy myself.

At this time, the national title and imperial title had been determined, the chaos in various parts of the country gradually subsided, and the court was busy preparing for the suburban sacrifice.

Therefore, Luo Zheng was free and unburdened during this period.

They immediately began living a life of extravagance and debauchery in the imperial harem.

Of course, he had his reasons for saying that.

He's perfecting his public image and paving the way for his future death.

I'll try to come up with a horrific way of dying that the whole world will remember.

……

Luo Zhengxian went to see Bao Ji after a long absence.

Since discovering that Bao Ji seemed to have developed feelings for him over time, Luo Zheng had intentionally reduced his visits to her.

After the beauties from the other ten kingdoms entered the palace, she became increasingly neglected.

When I came over today, Bao Ji was sitting in the courtyard.

He looked sullen and unhappy.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zheng immediately realized that things couldn't continue like this.

If Bao Ji becomes so withdrawn, she'll eventually fall ill from boredom, let alone plot against herself.

"All my other concubines are so cute, but you're always so sullen."

"This is my nature. If Your Majesty does not like it, you may go and find other beautiful concubines."

Bao Ji said with her eyes lowered.

"That won't do."

Luo Zheng lifted Bao Ji's chin and said seriously.

"I am about to become emperor, and instead of greeting you with a smile, you are so gloomy, which makes it seem like I am in the wrong."

"After the suburban sacrifice is completed in a few days, I plan to take all my concubines to Shanglin Garden to enjoy the autumn scenery."

"You are my first wife, so you must get along well with the others."

"..."

Bao Ji pursed her lips and met Luo Zheng's gaze.

"I am a cursed star, isn't Your Majesty afraid?"

"So what? I am the true Son of Heaven. If you could kill me, you wouldn't have been bullied by me for so many years, watching me become emperor."

Luo Zheng curled his lip in disdain, then gave a mischievous smile.

"Just accept your fate. Once you become my wife, you'll never escape my grasp."

After threatening Bao Ji as usual.

Luo Zheng then left, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Bao Ji was left standing alone in the courtyard, lost in thought.

……

Luo Zheng's statement that he was going to Shanglin Garden to enjoy the autumn scenery was not unfounded.

Earlier, when I went to see Zhao Ji and Xia Ji, I mentioned this matter to them and invited the two women to come along.

Now he goes to invite his nine concubines.

The matter with Bao Ji is settled.

Afterwards, Luo Zheng went to Xu Daoyun's place by detour.

As expected, Xu Daoyun was in her study, reading a book while enjoying the breeze.

Luo Zheng was also rude to her.

"I'm planning to go to Shanglin Garden to enjoy the autumn scenery in a while, would you like to come along?"

"Is Shanglin Garden fun? Are other people going too?"

Xu Daoyun blinked.

"yes."

"Then I'll go too."

Xu Daoyun closed the book.

The matter was settled just like that.

And then.

Luo Zheng arrived at the palace where Ji Mi lived.

As soon as he stepped inside, a little sparrow flew over and landed on Luo Zheng's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, a figure collided head-on with Luo Zheng.

"what……"

Ji Mi called out softly, then looked up and saw Luo Zheng, immediately becoming panicked.

"D-King..."

She quickly jumped out of Luo Zheng's arms and retreated as if fleeing.

In the ensuing panic, he tripped over his own foot with his left.

It was about to fall backward.

"..."

Luo Zheng was speechless.

Do I really look that scary?

Among the concubines in the harem, Ji Mi was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him, always avoiding him for fear of being eaten by him.

Luo Zheng reached out and grabbed Ji Mi's wrist to prevent her from falling and getting hurt.

"Are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing. Ji Mi thanks Your Majesty."

Ji Mi bowed her head to express her gratitude, and at the same time quickly withdrew her hand from Luo Zheng's grasp.

Luo Zheng figured it out.

Ji Mi definitely has a severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder related to mental purity.

She wanted to remain chaste for her beloved for the rest of her life and did not want any physical contact with other men.

I gather fragrant herbs and angelica, and string autumn orchids as my adornment.

That's exactly the kind of person she is.

But the more Ji Mi acted this way, the closer Luo Zheng became to her.

Since his goal was to die, he had to make Ji Mi suppress her fear and hate him.

For example, not long ago, Ji Mi heard that the State of Chu had been destroyed, and she was depressed for a long time.

Luo Zheng would visit Ji Mi every day, pretending to care.

On the surface, it's about comforting the other person.

In reality, he was being hypocritical, trying to make Ji Mi remember him as the enemy who destroyed her country.

Luo Zheng told Ji Mi about the moon-viewing trip to Shanglin Garden.

"I know that you, Mi Ji, love nature. Come with me to Shanglin Garden this time to relax. There's no need to keep your sorrow bottled up inside."

"I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness, but..."

Ji Mi was clearly somewhat resistant.

But it doesn't matter.

Luo Zheng was an autocratic emperor.

"No need to take it to heart. All the concubines in the palace will be going on this trip, and you, Mi Ji, will be no exception."

He made the decision for Ji Mi without his consent.

Ji Mi could not refuse.

After leaving Ji Mi's palace, the faint sounds of arguing could be heard not far away.

Follow the sound.

However, it was the palace where Song Wan lived.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance.

I went inside and took a look.

Sure enough, what came into view was the graceful Qi Jiang and the elegant and composed Song Wan.

The two were exchanging sarcastic remarks and sharp exchanges.

"Sister Song Wan used to favor Lord Lanling, but now that Lord Lanling's body is barely cold, you have fallen for someone else and thrown yourself into the King's arms. It's heartbreaking. I wonder what Lord Lanling would think if he knew this in the afterlife."

"No need for you to worry, sister. Lord Lanling will be greatly pleased to know that I have married the King and will understand my choice."

"But the King may not forgive my sister, for she still loves another man. Aren't you afraid I'll tell the King about this?"

"I do admire Lord Lanling's heroic demeanor. If you wish to say so, you may speak to the King."

"Uh, what did you say?"

Luo Zheng coughed, interrupting the two women's argument.

Qi Jiang and Song Wan then discovered Luo Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

Qi Jiang gracefully bowed to Luo Zheng.

"So that Your Majesty may know that I am an old acquaintance of Sister Song Wan, and that we were just talking about the time when we practiced music together at the academy."

"Sister Qi Jiang is right. Besides music, we also competed in chess."

Song Wan echoed this sentiment.

The two tacitly concealed what they had just said.

"I see……"

Luo Zheng nodded in a perfunctory manner.

Pretend you didn't hear Lanling Jun.

Then he took the opportunity to tell the two about the Shanglin Garden.

Qi Jiang and Song Wan exchanged a glance, and neither of them admitted defeat, so they agreed.

This was exactly what Luo Zheng had expected.

He actually spent a considerable amount of time with each of the five people.

The remaining four will require some effort.

……

Deep within the palace compound.

The sickly girl sat by the window of the side room, looking out at the courtyard through the small window.

She was the daughter of the Tang emperor, and was sent to Xianyang after the fall of the Tang dynasty.

For her, it was just a matter of moving to a different palace.

The rest are not much different.

Back in Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty, she spent most of her time in the side room, just like she is now.

Because her body was too delicate, she was not only weak and limp, but even walking was extremely difficult.

Even a slight breeze can cause you to catch a cold.

So it's laughable.

The journey from Jinyang to Xianyang was the first time she had ever encountered the world outside the inner palace.

The price she paid was that her body only recently began to recover.

But actually, there was another time...

Tang Ji looked down at the wooden box beside her.

He reached out and stroked it.

It was as if they drew immense strength from it.

It is this strength that has inspired her to live on so strongly until now.

Suddenly.

Strange noises came from outside the palace.

Tang Ji raised her head and looked towards the palace gate.

Then, Liang King Zheng, who had conquered the Tang Dynasty, barged in with a gentle and charming woman.

Liang Wangzheng walked straight into her room.

Before she could even speak, the other person suddenly said something.

"Tang Ji, as my concubine, you are lazy and good-for-nothing all day long, never even stepping out of the house. What kind of behavior is this!"

"?"

Tang Ji heard this.

I was a little confused for a moment.

……

Looking at Tang Ji's bewildered expression, Luo Zheng couldn't help but find it amusing.

He had met Tang Ji several times before and was well aware of her physical condition; she was simply unable to leave the house.

But this suited him perfectly.

Is there anything crueler than forcing a patient to leave the house?

As long as he does this, I don't believe Tang Ji won't hate him.

"Now that the world is at peace, after I offer sacrifices in the suburbs, I intend to take my concubines to the Shanglin Garden to enjoy the autumn scenery. You must come along too, so that you don't stay in your room all day and become obese and out of shape."

Luo Zheng spoke fluently without hesitation.

In reality, Tang Ji was petite and slender with fair and delicate skin; she was the kind of sickly, beautiful girl who would inspire pity in anyone who saw her.

She is not obese at all; in fact, one could say she is rather thin.

Yes, it doesn't specifically refer to any particular part.

Tang Ji frowned upon hearing this.

In an instant, she became pitiful to behold.

"I hope Your Majesty will understand that I am unwell and I am afraid I will not be able to accompany Your Majesty to Shanglin Garden."

"It's just an illness, isn't it? If you're sick, you need treatment. I've already found a doctor for you."

Luo Zheng waved his hand and pointed to the woman beside him.

The woman stepped forward, smiled at Tang Ji, and introduced herself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Chen tide, a student of Bian Que, and also a physician. Perhaps I can help you with your diagnosis by observation and pulse examination."

Bian Que does not refer to a specific person, but rather, like the Mohist master, is a leader of the medical school.

Chen tide was a student of Bian Que, so his medical skills were naturally extremely high.

"Now you have no excuse to refuse, right?"

Luo Zheng said sarcastically.

He went to great lengths to force Tang Ji out of the room.

In his predetermined fate, King Zheng of Liang never treated Chen tide as a doctor, nor did he trust Chen tide, the princess of a fallen kingdom.

Therefore, his knowledge of Chen tide's medical skills was mostly based on hearsay.

Perhaps they have a better understanding of Chen tide's poison skills.

After all, it's quite possible that Liang Wang Zheng in history was poisoned to death by Chen tide.

In this performance, when Luo Zheng played the role of Lanling Jun, he had medical exchanges with Chen tide and highly recognized Chen tide's medical skills.

Therefore, before coming here, Luo Zheng went to see Chen tide first.

Chen tide was indifferent to Luo Zheng.

Ultimately, she studied medicine to save lives, while Luo Zheng was a tyrant who caused millions of deaths when he was enraged.

Moreover, once she entered the harem, she would have to use her beauty to serve others, leaving her with no opportunity to use her medical skills.

Unexpectedly, Luo Zheng suddenly asked her to rescue someone.

Without hesitation, Chen tide agreed to come and help.

Luo Zheng also revealed a knowing smile.

Tang Ji was used to lure Chen tide out, and then Chen tide was used to treat Tang Ji.

A classic win-win situation.

However, soon after Chen tide examined the patient's body using the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, he brought back bad news.

"Sister Tang Ji has a congenital deficiency of the meridians, a congenital ailment that can only be treated with care, not with medicine or medical techniques."

Chen tide sighed regretfully.

"It's a pity that Lord Lanling died young. I once exchanged medical knowledge with him. Although he was not a doctor, he had unique insights into medicine."

"With Lord Lanling's help, perhaps my sister's congenital incurable disease can be cured."

"Thank you, Sister Chen tide. Don't worry, I already know I have a terminal illness, and I won't give up on myself."

Tang Ji then comforted Chen tide.

"..."

Luo Zheng watched the two women comforting each other.

My tooth hurts a little.

Why is it Lanling Jun again?

Regardless, Luo Zheng ultimately insisted that Tang Ji accompany him to Shanglin Garden.

Chen tide expressed her dissatisfaction with Luo Zheng's tyranny, believing that it would harm Tang Ji's health.

"Didn't you say you could treat it? You can come along too."

Luo Zheng's casual remark.

To end the conflict completely.
