This is something Xia Yuxuan absolutely cannot tolerate.
As long as Xia Wuwei has Nangong Bingqing as his empress, all his previous efforts will be in vain. Not only will the throne be forever out of his reach, but his beloved tenth brother will definitely try to kill him. With a Celestial Realm expert as his backer, it will be too easy for him to kill him.
He had considered using spies in the palace to sabotage Xia Wuwei's plans, but Li Fuguo, the Grand Eunuch, had managed the inner palace too well. His infiltration over the past decade had only managed to plant a few spies far from the center of power, which was simply not enough to achieve anything.
He also considered winning over these eunuchs, but they weren't stupid. Between an incompetent emperor and a shrewd one, they naturally knew which to choose.
······
Inside the private room.
Hui looked puzzled when Xia Yuxuan mentioned revenge: "Revenge?"
Xia Yuxuan seemed to have anticipated that Hui would feign ignorance.
"It seems Consort Hui is still quite wary of me. I've already said, I'm not your enemy; I'm here to seek cooperation. Why must you continue to play dumb?"
Seeing that Hui still looked puzzled, Xia Yuxuan bluntly asked, "Doesn't the Imperial Concubine hate my tenth brother? With your intelligence, you should already know how my tenth brother treated you!"
The entire operation involved deception from beginning to end, blatant exploitation, and then, after the exploitation was over, outright murder to silence the witnesses.
Even I, an outsider, felt sorry for the Imperial Concubine after hearing about her plight.
Xia Yuxuan paused, glanced at Hui, and continued, "Xia Wuwei is also blind; he doesn't know how to cherish such a peerless woman as the Imperial Concubine right in front of him."
"So, does the Imperial Concubine really think she can swallow this insult?"
Hearing this, Hui understood.
Indeed, if I were truly Dong'er, although Dong'er is gentle and kind-hearted, or what is commonly known as "easy-going," anyone who isn't completely oblivious would feel the same depth of hatred as the depth of love after being treated this way, and the desire for revenge would be inevitable.
However, Xia Yuxuan had no idea that Dong'er had died with resentment long ago, and although he was Dong'er's body, the inner core of him had been replaced.
This is understandable, since the ancients didn't even have a basic understanding of the universe, and they didn't even have the concept of "time travel," so how could they possibly think in that direction?
Therefore, Hui herself was genuinely not angry, nor did she want revenge at all. However, Xia Yuxuan thought that she did not trust him, so she deliberately concealed her anger.
Hui realized this was an opportunity, a chance to escape from here.
"Your Highness, please stop talking."
Hui shouted angrily at Xia Yuxuan, her face flushed red, her eyes flashing with hatred.
Xia Yuxuan's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile: "Consort Hui, please calm down. I know the resentment in your heart, which is why I came to seek your cooperation."
"So, how does Your Highness intend to cooperate?"
"Does the Imperial Concubine know that in seven days, Xia Wuwei will hold a coronation ceremony for Nangong Bingqing?"
"I know, do you intend to disrupt the coronation ceremony?"
Xia Yuxuan smiled slightly: "Yes and no."
"What do you mean?" Hui asked curiously.
"It was not I who caused the disruption, but Your Highness."
Hui laughed upon hearing this: "Your Highness overestimates me. The coronation ceremony will surely be heavily guarded, with many experts around. It would be difficult for a weak woman of second-rate rank like me to even get in, let alone try to disrupt it."
Xia Yuxuan explained, "Of course, I'm not asking the Imperial Concubine to use force. The Imperial Concubine may not have realized that your very presence is the biggest disruption to the entire coronation ceremony!"
The author says:

I'm so sleepy, I'll stop writing here for today.
Chapter 200 First-rate Warrior
"My own existence?! What's wrong with me?"
Hui looked puzzled. Although she disliked Xia Yuxuan's behavior of only saying half of what he meant, she still played along and kept him in suspense.
Xia Yuxuan's lips curled into a curved arc, giving him the air of a profound and unfathomable sage. He explained to Hui, "It's very simple. Think about why Xia Wuwei wants you to die."
Because the dead cannot testify.
Therefore, as long as the Imperial Concubine has the opportunity to speak out in front of the whole world and reveal what Xia Wuwei did to you, he will surely be disgraced and despised by the world.
Hui thought about it carefully for a while and then asked, "Then how can I get a chance to speak?"
"Your Highness, this opportunity is both far away and right before our eyes."
"You mean... the coronation ceremony?"
"Your Majesty is wise. I will have the Imperial Concubine appear before the whole world by performing a dance. After the dance, she will cry to the world about Xia Wuwei's cold-bloodedness, heartlessness, and ungratefulness... Just think, after Nangong Bingqing learns the truth, especially after seeing how Xia Wuwei treats her former husband, will she still marry him? Xia Wuwei will be disgraced and lose the hearts of the people. I will take this opportunity to force him to abdicate and take his place."
At this point, Xia Yuxuan stared intently at Hui and added a shocking statement: "Furthermore, after I ascend the throne, I am willing to offer her the title of 'Imperial Consort'."
"This..." Hui blushed crimson, her whole body stiff with embarrassment. Her beautiful, expressive eyes darted away from Xia Yuxuan's burning gaze, unable to meet his gaze. Xia Yuxuan meant that once he became emperor, he would take Hui into his harem and reinstate her as a Noble Consort.
"The Imperial Concubine is unwilling?"
"Well, I am, after all, your brother's concubine. If I were to marry you again, wouldn't the whole world condemn me?"
"Haha, there's no need to worry about this Consort. When the time comes, I will publicly declare that you are just the younger sister of the former Consort Hui, and change your title from 'Hui' to 'Hui'. No one in the world will know."
After Xia Yuxuan finished speaking, his gaze toward Hui began to become aggressive.
Xia Yuxuan did not deceive Hui; he genuinely wanted to take Hui into his harem, as a woman with such outstanding literary talent, even surpassing all others in the world, was truly rare.
As for Hui being impure (he thought Hui had been taken by Xia Wuwei), he didn't care, because he had long been tired of virginity.
More importantly, he brought Hui into his harem not because he loved her, but because he wanted to collect her.
For men in this world, a special and beautiful woman is more like a collectible. During the day, they can be displayed outside to admire her beauty, and at night they can be held in bed to sleep, providing warmth and intimacy. How wonderful!
Not only Hui, he also didn't intend to let Nangong Bingqing go, even though the informant in the palace had already said that Nangong Bingqing's chastity was gone.
However, he still wanted to try the taste of the most beautiful woman in the world. He even thought about some absurd things, like having Hui and Nangong Bingqing serve him in bed together, watching the two stunning beauties face each other naked yet helpless—that would be quite interesting!
Seeing that Hui still did not reply, Xia Yuxuan assured her tenderly, "Don't worry, I will cherish you, my noble consort. When the time comes, we will live in harmony like phoenixes, a hundred years of blissful union. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"
In fact, Hui had no choice at all, because once Xia Yuxuan revealed his plan, she had no choice but to agree, regardless of whether she agreed or not.
Forcing someone, especially a woman, to do something she doesn't want to do is something Xia Yuxuan has countless methods for doing. The most basic is drugging her, causing her unbearable torment, making her wish she were dead, and then threatening her with the antidote; or simply getting her pregnant with his child…
Therefore, Hui had no choice at all.
Hui frowned, sometimes relaxing and sometimes furrowing her brows. She hesitated for a long time, pursing her pink lips, but still did not give a reply.
Xia Yuxuan grew impatient and asked again, "What does Consort Hui think?"
Hui let out a soft breath, her delicate brows relaxing as if she had made up her mind. Her beautiful eyes, filled with a shy yet bashful allure, blinked at Xia Yuxuan…
Xia Yuxuan couldn't help but smile, his heart filled with the joy of finally having the throne and the beauty.
but,
A light, melodious voice, like the tinkling of silver bells, rang out: "I need to pee! I've been holding it in for ages!"
······
Everyone present, including Grandmaster Xiao who had been secretly watching Hui,
all,
I was stunned!
My thoughts paused briefly!
It's like everyone's watching period dramas, but suddenly you pull out a Xiaomi Mi Ultra to browse Weibo.
however,
It's just this brief pause!
Hui wanted that moment when even Old Man Xiao was stunned.
In an instant,
Wisdom has moved!
All the internal energy contained within Hui's body was like gasoline ignited by a spark, circulating wildly within her body. Her meridians were overloaded, causing waves of pain, but Hui didn't care at all.
Whether it will succeed or not depends on the blink of an eye.
With a sudden burst of force, he swept the entire table away from the window, sending it flying towards Old Xiao, who was five steps away from Hui.
The scene was instantly ignited!
"Huh?! How dare you!"
As a grandmaster, Elder Xiao reacted extremely quickly. The moment his expression changed drastically, he immediately tried to step forward to stop Hui. However, the table flying towards him blocked his path and view. He wanted to smash the table with a single palm strike, but he was afraid of accidentally injuring Xia Yuxuan. So, he hesitated and could only take a long way and sidestep the table that was flying towards him.
And this...
That gave Hui a chance.
Hui seized this brief time difference,
He leaned forward.
At the same time, his right hand formed a claw, moving with lightning speed, piercing through the air with a "whoosh!" and leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, as if he had teleported, and approached Xia Yuxuan's neck.
This move is the standard hand shape of the "Nirvana Claw". It is a powerful grappling technique that the second-rate martial artist, the big Hu man, learned earlier. Once you grab the opponent's hand, you can use your claws to control the meridians in their body, making them helpless and bound. It is an extremely vicious technique.
She was only about a meter away from Xia Yuxuan. No matter how fast a Grandmaster was, he couldn't be faster than her!
"Your Highness, step back!"
Wei Yi also reacted, but by the time he realized what was happening and prepared to stand in front of Xia Yuxuan, Hui was less than three centimeters away from Xia Yuxuan's neck and ribs!
Everything seemed to be settling down.
As long as Hui can control Xia Yuxuan and force that old, immortal grandmaster to retreat, she can take the opportunity to leave this place, escape the capital overnight, and flee thousands of miles away. From then on, she can fly freely in the sky and leap freely in the sea. She doesn't believe that Xia Yuxuan can find her.
Freedom is within reach!
Hui also saw the look of terror on Xia Yuxuan's face!
but······
"Humph!"
