Evil of all ages

Chapter 221 Three Years Have Passed
Seeing the Moonflower Palace elder nod

Xu Yunxue clenched her fists involuntarily. The Moonflower Palace kept a low profile, and she didn't know how the Divine Dragon Sect had discovered her identity.

But everyone in the world regarded her as a demon queen, making it difficult for her to maintain the status quo.

It is even more difficult to maintain control of the regime.

If the Divine Dragon Sect were to expose her identity, even if the Moonflower Palace had long since separated from the Demonic Sect, the world would still only consider her a member of the Demonic Sect.

As a demon queen and a member of a demonic sect, how could the world tolerate her?
"Damn the Divine Dragon Cult, they must have received news that the Sun Moon Cult helped the Third Princess of Western Liang become Empress."

"The Sun Moon Cult will most likely become the state religion of Western Liang as a result."

"I also know that the Palace Master of Yuehua Palace is me, and that I control the government of Da'an."

"They are of the same origin as us, but they can't compare to us. They can't stand to see us doing well, so they feel unbalanced and come out to take advantage of us."

"The Sun Moon Cult and our Moon Palace, I'm afraid they'll only target our Moon Palace and wouldn't dare to take advantage of the Sun Moon Cult."

Xu Yunxue gritted her teeth, feeling that the Divine Dragon Sect was picking on the weak.

"What are their conditions?"

Despite knowing she had become an easy target, Xu Yunxue was well aware that if the Divine Dragon Sect exposed her identity...

Good and evil cannot coexist; how could the two supreme beings and seven peaks of the world tolerate her?

If even reputable sects join the rebellion against her, the consequences will be unimaginable.

“They want our Beiyi Prefecture, Mingxin Prefecture, and Han Prefecture.”

The elder of Yuehua Palace lowered his head slightly in reply.

"What a huge appetite! Of the thirteen provinces in the world, they dare to take three."

"These three states are not only adjacent, but also located in the northernmost part of the country, bordering the Gobi Desert..."

"and many more"

“They wouldn’t want those three states for no reason. Do they want to follow the example of our Moon Palace and Sun Moon Cult?”

"They've found Princess Beili?"

Xu Yunxue thought about it and felt that this was very likely.

"Hmph, a bunch of idiots who think that what our Moon Palace and Sun Moon Cult can do, their Divine Dragon Cult can do just as easily."

"They really don't know their own limitations."

Xu Yunxue shook her head slightly.

"Palace Master, should we agree to their conditions or not?"

The elder of Yuehua Palace asked.

"If I agree to their demands, I will truly become a wicked empress who brings disaster to the country and its people."

Xu Yunxue refused, but what problems would she face if she didn't agree?

I'm afraid the carefree Prince, who doesn't care about anything, will be the first to jump out and kill her.

"Palace Master, we must not agree to their demands. Once they expose your identity, everything we have will be lost."

"It would be better to keep them calm for now. Their asking for three states might just be a test; they might be satisfied with just one state."

“We can talk to them, we can give them half a state to keep them in check…”

The elder of Yuehua Palace, knowing the morality of the Divine Dragon Sect and the problems facing their Yuehua Palace, offered her opinion.

"Let alone half a state"

"I will not give them an inch of land."

"People are never satisfied. After you give them what they want, they threaten you. Do you give or not?"

"However, the young emperor is about to ascend the throne, so in order to prevent them from causing trouble, we cannot directly break ties with them now."

"Delay them and keep them calm until the young emperor ascends the throne, then we will refuse them."

After Xu Yunxue finished speaking, she waved for the elders of Yuehua Palace to leave.

"Your Majesty, why don't we invite Minister Xu to discuss a solution to this matter?"

Shangguan Duo'er knew how much of an impact it would have on the Divine Dragon Sect if they exposed the Empress's identity, so she quickly made a suggestion.

"Useless"

"Even if we find people and come up with many methods, once the Divine Dragon Sect is exposed, the world will confirm that I am a member of the demonic path."

Xu Yunxue closed her eyes slightly and pressed her temples as she spoke.

"Then...what should we do?"

Shangguan Duo'er felt that this problem was unsolvable, leaving her in a very passive position.

"There's no other way but to beg that bastard."

Xu Yunxue sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Duo'er hesitated, knowing full well who the Empress was referring to—the very scoundrel who had defiled her.

However, at present, the only one who can help the Empress is probably that bastard.

Princess Pingyang's Residence
Li Feiyan also received news of the coup in the Western Liang Palace through her intelligence network.

"We're both princesses. If she can do it, I can too." Seeing that someone had set a precedent and successfully become empress, Li Feiyan became even more confident.

Let those below continue to strengthen their forces and wait for the right opportunity.

Time passes

On the day the young emperor ascended the throne.

Everything went smoothly without any setbacks.

Xu Yunxue was promoted to Empress Dowager, and the young emperor's birth mother and Ouyang Yudie were promoted to Imperial Concubine Dowager.

The young emperor seemed to know he was a puppet emperor, so he was very obedient, spoke little, and did whatever the empress dowager said.

Until night falls
The young emperor had just escaped from Xu Yunxue's side and was going to find her birth mother.

Xu Yunxue was reviewing memorials in the Ziyun Hall as usual, while waiting for that bastard.

She knew today was her moment to shine.

It is most likely to arouse a man's desire to conquer.

Or it can satisfy a man's certain fetish.

So that bastard will definitely come.

Sure enough, her wait was worthwhile.

That bastard showed up.

"Wait, I'll do it myself."

Seeing that the bastard was about to resort to violence again, she chose to take the initiative.

Her reasons for this were twofold: first, she needed something from the other party; second, she couldn't resist; and third, she couldn't enjoy it yet.

After a night of madness

Someone pulled up his pants, ready to leave.

"and many more"

"I do not know who you are, but you are all-powerful and must know the predicament I am facing."

"Now, the only one who can help me is you."

"Help"

As if he hadn't heard, someone took a step forward.

Xu Yunxue panicked when she saw this.

“If you don’t help me, once the Divine Dragon Sect exposes my identity, my regime will be overthrown within six months at most, and at least three months.”

"You come here to bully me just because I am the empress of a country, and I can satisfy your personal desire for conquest."

"Once the Empress Dowager is overthrown, he will be imprisoned in the Imperial Prison."

"You still dare to come to the Imperial Prison to bully me?"

"No, you won't."

"But is this what you wanted?"

"You only want to bully me for the next three months, or maybe six months?"

Upon hearing this, the person paused in their tracks.

But the next second, he still disappeared.

Xu Yunxue breathed a sigh of relief, because the other person paused for a moment, and she knew that the other person had taken her words to heart.

Whether the other party will help her or not is up to fate.

"That scoundrel, he has absolutely no chivalry towards women."

Xu Yunxue saw that there were still many bruises on her body and couldn't help but complain.

He complained, but secretly admired how strong the other person was.

A few days later
The Divine Dragon Cult eventually exposed her identity.

However, the reaction from the public was not as great as she had imagined. Even the rebellion of the vassal kings, the rebels, and the disaster victims gradually faded away.

She smiled.

That bastard ultimately helped her.

However, she knew that such help wouldn't last long, once she could no longer satisfy the other person, or once the other person got tired of her.

The other party will abandon her without hesitation.

After all, it's just business.

that's it

Time passes

Three years have passed just like that.
