You, a tyrannical ruler, roam the heavens; you cannot understand my joy.

"Young Master Chen, it's still early. Why don't you come and sit at my residence?"

Kong Fan leaned closer and chuckled, "A stunningly beautiful woman has recently arrived at your residence. Would Young Master Chen like to take a look?"

Despite Chen Shubao's inability to perform sexual acts due to a qi deviation during his martial arts practice, he still managed to achieve his goal.

However, his lustful and greedy nature not only did not subside, but intensified after he ascended the throne, with more than a dozen concubines in his harem.

He also frequently sent several trusted confidants to recruit beautiful women from the common people; the Jade Consort and the Virtuous Consort in the palace were presented to him by Kong Fan...

Chen Shubao probably thought he could definitely cure his illness.

Lu Zuo was about to agree, revealing his true colors as a foolish ruler, when Zhao An leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Ancestor has instructed that we must return to the palace before dark."

Lu Zuo raised an eyebrow, a hint of inexplicable annoyance rising within him.

Although I had mentally prepared myself to be a puppet, the feeling of being controlled by others was really unpleasant...

"Let's leave it at that for today."

"I'll find some time another day to visit your home."

Lu Zuo refused Kong Fan and left with the others.

"That's a bit strange..."

Kong Fan watched the crowd's figures gradually disappear into the distance and muttered something to himself.

Based on his understanding of Chen Shubao, upon hearing that he had found another beautiful woman, he would definitely want to take a look at her.

Even if you don't touch her, you should still bring her back to the palace and bestow upon her the title of Noble Lady or Talented Lady...

But now, not only does he not show any covetousness, but he also acts as usual and has gone back to the palace on his own.

"What exactly happened during His Majesty's incognito trip?"

……

Kong Fan wasn't the only one who felt this way; the young eunuch Zhao An also sensed that something was amiss.

His Majesty……

Why do you seem to be afraid of our ancestors?

In the past, although I listened to and obeyed the words of our ancestors, it was out of trust, not because I acted as I do today...

Unaware of the situation, he dared not say more and followed Lu Zuo back to the palace. He then ran to Li Cheng'an's official residence to report.

"Did His Majesty reject Kong Fan?"

"Yes."

"You did absolutely nothing all day, just wandered around aimlessly?"

"Yes."

Li Cheng'an frowned slightly; this was not a good sign...

After spending several days together, he realized that although Lu Zuo seemed obedient on the surface, he was quite shrewd.

I thought that once he returned to the capital and enjoyed honor and luxury, he would change...

But now everything is as usual, and he has not been blinded by the emperor's position, which makes him somewhat wary.

"Let's see..."

"Perhaps they're just new here and don't dare to act rashly."

In short...

This piece must not be allowed to get out of control!

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao An, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You should go back and rest today. Tell Xiao Dezi to take care of His Majesty."

"Yes, Ancestor."

……

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Sanskrit?"

Upon returning to his palace, Lu Zuo dismissed his attendants, took out the jade doll, and examined the meridian reliefs and inner text on it under the light.

Upon closer inspection, I realized I didn't recognize a single character in the text...

At the same time, he remembered that the mantra of the Jade Doll was written in Sanskrit.

In the TV series, Yun Tengjiao died because he couldn't decipher Sanskrit but insisted on cultivating it, ultimately going mad from the practice.

"As for Sanskrit... you can ask the Empress to teach me."

With this in mind, Lu Zuo put the jade doll into his personal space, walked out of the main hall, and said to the eunuch on duty outside the door, "Prepare the carriage, go to Kunning Palace."

.......

Inside the Kunning Palace, the lights were on.

The curtains strung together with pearls from the South China Sea reflected a warm glow, while several tall, intertwined lamp trees illuminated the hall as bright as day.

Inside the curtain, Shen Wuhua leaned against the rosewood couch. Although her face still showed some signs of fatigue from overwork, it had improved considerably and regained some of its rosy color.

Recalling everything that happened last night, she felt both angry and ashamed, and gritted her teeth in resentment.

"That tyrant, he was so, so..."

"Your Majesty."

Junior Sister Yun Yanyue rushed in from outside, reporting anxiously, "His Majesty will be staying at Kunning Palace tonight."

what?

Shen Wuhua was startled. They hadn't had enough of what happened last night, were they going to do it again tonight?

Although her duty was to infiltrate the palace, seduce the monarch, gather intelligence, and take away the Imperial Seal.

But this...

To be honest, she felt a bit of fear towards that tyrannical emperor after last night…

"Your Majesty, should I go and tell the messenger that you are not feeling well?"

With outsiders present, Yun Yanyue naturally addressed her as "Your Majesty".

"Help me up and do my hair."

this…..

Yun Yanyue stepped forward with a touch of heartache, helping Shen Wuhua to her feet from the bed, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your Majesty, why must you do this?"

"The palace is full of beauties. If I don't accept them, His Majesty will go to find other women."

Shen Wuhua explained, thinking to herself: I have long been determined to sacrifice myself to the demon, and I will persevere no matter how hard it is.

……

A moment later, accompanied by the announcement "His Majesty has arrived," Lu Zuo slowly walked into Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

"This servant greets Your Majesty."

Shen Wuhua and Yun Yanyue immediately knelt down and respectfully kowtowed.

Get up.

Lu Zuo waved his hand, looked up and saw Shen Wuhua wearing a black off-shoulder dress, her hair was tied up high and decorated with gold hair accessories, and her lips were a bright red cherry color, making her look delicate and lovely.

Her overall demeanor, even under her makeup, exudes a blend of allure and gentleness, making her both innocent and seductive.

Enough with the small talk, let's get straight to the point.

Lu Zuo dismissed his attendants and immediately began to interact and communicate with the Empress.

This exchange took a full hour.

.......

An hour later,

As the candlelight flickered, Shen Wuhua, drenched in sweat, nestled against Lu Zuo's chest, her cascading hair, damp and disheveled, spread across the brocade quilt.

She breathed slightly heavily, her chest heaving as her clothes slipped down, revealing her rounded shoulders and alluring collarbone. A few strands of hair clung to her cheeks, adding a touch of languid charm and a hint of seductive allure.

"Does Your Majesty wish to learn Sanskrit?"

Her lips parted slightly, her breath sweet as orchids, but her originally clear and melodious voice was now slightly hoarse.

Lu Zuo put his arm around the Empress's slender waist and nodded: "I wonder if Hua'er would be willing to teach me?"

"Yes, of course I'm willing."

Shen Wuhua was secretly delighted. As long as this foolish emperor was willing to learn Buddhism, she could subtly influence him with the Cihang Jingzhai's unique skill, the "Heart-Crossing Mantra," while teaching him Sanskrit.

This foolish ruler repeatedly made wrong decisions!

At that time, the process of unifying the world will surely be accelerated.

"Then Hua'er, teach me now."

"OK."

.......

After a while, under the glow of red candles, the Empress gave a live lesson.

"Your Majesty, 'huh...' this character is pronounced 'ah,' and this one is pronounced 'mi'... 'huh...' you need to slightly open your lips and teeth, 'huh...' and slowly release it... Would you like to try?"

"This अ-र-अ is pronounced as, 'hu hu...' It should be pronounced as, 'Ara ah...' 'hu hu...'"
