Xuanyuan Yan was not originally the heir to the throne. He was able to inherit the throne entirely due to luck.

When the former emperor was still alive, he was aggressive and arrogant, living arrogantly and luxuriantly. Not only that, the former emperor’s suspicion was also very serious, and he was very concerned about the imperial power in his hands, so he was extremely overbearing and couldn’t listen to any contradictions.

One of those, follow me and prosper or rebel against me and perish, incapable tyrant ruler.

Many loyal officials and old ministers could not bear to see the former emperor tranny, they repeatedly admonished, but were decapitated by the former emperor on the charge of treason while some were exiled. This not only makes the court official panic, even the common people bow their heads and live their lives with caution.

Seeing that more and more old ministers and loyal ministers were suffering, the remaining ministers came together, this is not enough, so they set their sights on the princes, planning to cultivate a virtuous monarch.

The former emperor’s life as emperor flew happily, although he was mediocre, he still had some intelligence. He could see the plan of the ministers, but he didn’t want to abdicate and couldn’t kill all the courtiers, so he set his eyes to his princes.

Under the slander and conspiracy of the ministers, he instigated discord between the princes, using power as bait, and let the princes kill each other.

In the end, the princes who participated in the fight for power died in the long-planned palace chaos, except for the two princes who did not fight for power which still alive. One is the fifth prince who is born with a disability and is bad at doing things. The other is the ninth prince Xuanyuan Yan, who has been weak and incompetent in the palace like a transparent person.

Of course, the former emperor did not survive the chaos. His favored concubine in the harem, he takes from the eldest prince, directly poisoned him and he died on that favored concubine on the night of the palace chaos.

The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the heir to the throne cannot be physically disabled, so the weak and incompetent Xuanyuan Yan was lucky to become the emperor.

In the beginning, the ministers tried their best to assist Xuanyuan Yan, and Xuanyuan Yan also studied hard, but over time he realized the pleasure of being held up as the emperor.

As a result, the initially weak and cowardly Xuanyuan Yan became a monarch who tried to control the imperial power like the former emperor. He inherited the former emperor’s suspicious character, so he began to move before his foundation was deep enough.

Before the filial piety period, he began to force beautiful girls, like the former emperor, indulge in pleasure, and because of his extremely weak and low self-esteem in the past, after taking power, it evolved into arrogance and violence.

Because of his suspicious character, in addition, some sly and flattering ministers in the court wanted to use Xuanyuan Yan to get power, Xuanyuan Yan was turned crooked under those slanders. He felt that the ministers who taught him were trying to control him, wanting to seize his throne, so he tried to find all kinds of reasons to kill those ministers, and he really did succeed.

After that, Xuanyuan Yan started acting more and more not knowing how to hold back, his behavior gradually moved closer and closer to the former emperor, chilling the hearts of the courtiers of DaYan Country.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yan had only been emperor for only one year.

It was at this time that Xie Zhengyi began to appear in front of everyone.

Xie Zhengyi was the adopted son of the chief eunuch of the former emperor. At that time, he was very low-key, after the death of the former emperor, his adoptive father was buried in accordance with the law, so he gradually emerged.

Within a year, he won the favor of Xuanyuan Yan, and got rid of the eunuch who had inherited the position of his adoptive father, and took control of that power. After that, he used the identity as the chief eunuch to enter the east palace, holding the seat of east palace supervisor in his hand, Xuanyuan Yan gradually realized that something was wrong at this time, because Xie Zhengyi didn’t listen to him anymore.

Every time he wants to kill a minister, in the end, the minister will always be found not guilty. Even the imperial decree that he issued to allow the province to give beautiful women as tribute has also been revised, and he clearly did not agree to allocate funds to the disaster area, but strangely there was a decree for disaster relief.

In the imperial city, apart from Xuanyuan Yan, there was only one person who had the opportunity to mess with the imperial decree and those memorials, and that was Xie Zhengyi, the chief eunuch.

Because Xuanyuan Yan is greedy for pleasure and dislikes government affairs, he handed these to Xie Zhengyi, Xie Zhengyi only needed to report to him once everyday. Xie Zhengyi did a good job every time, so Xuanyuan Yan began to trust Xie Zhengyi more and more, and became more obsessed with beauty in the end, so he simply gave these memorials and imperial decree drafting to Xie Zhengyi with full authority without needing to report to him.

After realizing this, Xuanyuan Yan wanted to kill Xie Zhengyi, but at this time Xie Zhengyi’s power was already very large, it’s not like Xuanyuan Yan can kill if he want to, plus Xie Zhengyi somehow managed to get close to several important officials in the court, even Jin Yiwei1 was also under his control, Xuanyuanyan had no other way to fight Xie Zhengyi, so he could only watch Xie Zhengyi gradually overshadow him, turning him into a decoration.

Xuanyuan Yan was naturally angry, relying on his status as the emperor to perform sly tricks to take Xie Zhengyi’s life, but Xie Zhengyi will always teach him a lesson at the end.

A few years later, Xuanyuan Yan also learned that Xie Zhengyi and the ministers wanted his crippled fifth imperial brother’s son to inherit his throne.

Xuanyuan Yan was thus taken advantage of by the enemy, Lian Country. Lian Country tempted him to cooperate with them in an attempt to regain power.

Under the conspiracy and tricks of Lian Country, Xie Zhengyi had never thought that Xuanyuan Yan would be treasonous. When the country’s generals were missing, Xie Zhengyi personally went to lead the army, Xuanyuan Yan, who suddenly came to the battlefield, tricked him into an ambush by the Lian army, ten thousand arrows pierced his heart and he died.

Due to the death of Xie Zhengyi, he didn’t have sufficient power to control the court, with the subsequent war against Lian Country, they were retreating steadily, at the end, the imperial city was invaded by Lian Country.

Xuanyuan Yan originally thought that after Xie Zhengyi’s death, he would be able to regain the imperial power. Unexpectedly, Lian Country went back on their word, killing him on the dragon throne while invading the imperial city.

Xuanyuan Yan died without closing his eyes.

The system that looked at the information with Bai Chen was a little angry, he said angrily: [I didn’t expect this wisher to be such a person!]

Bai Chen was also a little angry, from the system information, Bai Chen already knew that Xie Zhengyi was his lover, and this Xuanyuan Yan was the murderer who killed his lover.

Bai Chen clenched his fist, he had forgotten that he was still angry at Xie Zhengyi just now. At this time, he just wanted to drag Xuanyuan Yan’s soul out and beat him, so that Xuanyuan Yan could also taste the pain of getting his heart pierced by thousands of arrows.

At this moment, the system is still facing a problem, it looked a little worried at the wish desire by the soul: [Little master, Xuanyuan Yan has two wishes, one is to kill Xie Zhengyi to regain his imperial power, and the other is to trample on Lian country.]

These two tasks are not difficult, the key is that the person Xuanyuan Yan wants to kill is the lover of its little master.

The system deeply regrets, why did he accept the task of this wisher?

It shouldn’t have coveted Xuanyuan Yan emperor’s identity and chose Xuanyuan Yan, but when it accepted the task, it didn’t know that that person would be the target of the task.

This was just great, the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple2.

The system is so worried.

Bai Chen said directly: [Only do the second task, abandon the first task.]

System: [But the soul power gained in this way will be less, and what if he doesn’t give it when he gets angry?]

Bai Chen’s eyes were slightly cold: [If he doesn’t give it, then directly destroy his soul.]

To Xuanyuan Yan, Bai Chen didn’t want to be merciful at all.

The system also has no favorable impressions of Xuanyuan Yan too, so destroying one’s soul, with the energy it recovered now, it’s not a problem at all, so the protective3 system directly agreed.

Bai Chen, who reached a consensus with the system, continued to read the information. Xie Zhengyi was strangling Xuanyuan Yan’s neck when he crossed over this time because Xuanyuan Yan not only poisoned Xie Zhengyi, but also wanted to kill Xie Zhengyi with a dagger, Xie Zhengyi was just teaching Xuanyuan Yan a lesson.

Seeing this, Bai Chen’s anger from Xie Zhengyi strangling him and making him pass out dissipated a little, but he was still angry.

Because Xie Zhengyi clearly recognized him subconsciously at the time, but still used a heavy hand on him.

Bai Chen sat on the bed, holding his face and thinking: If Xie Zhengyi comes to coax him, hug him, and kiss him tomorrow, then he will forgive him.

Otherwise, he must ignore Xie Zhengyi and not talk to Xie Zhengyi.

The spoiled Bai Chen snort.

“Gulu” sounded from his stomach, Bai Chen lowered his head aggrievedly and hugged his belly.

He is hungry.

The system quickly said: [Little master, you are now the emperor, there are maids who are on night watch outside, so you can ask them to prepare food for you.]

Bai Chen nodded, so under the guidance of the system, he stretched out his hand and rang the bell on the bedside.

Bi Luo is on the night watch tonight.

Bi Luo always remembered Xie Zhengyi’s instructions, so she never dared to fall asleep, she got up as soon as the bell rang.

Bi Luo moved quickly to light up all the lights in Taiji Hall, and then asked ADa who was guarding outside to notify Xie Zhengyi, and then she came to the dragon bed and knelt down and waited for Bai Chen’s instructions.

Bi Luo was the person Xie Zhengyi had openly arranged next to Xuanyuan Yan, these were all included in the information, therefore, Bai Chen was not as angry as the original owner as he have to waited for Bi Luo for a while.

It’s only right for a bad person like the original owner to be neglected by Xie Zhengyi’s people.

“I’m hungry.” Bai Chen said.

Bi Luo thought that since she was delayed for a while, according to the emperor’s temperament, he would be furious, but she didn’t expect it to be only three indifferent words.

She was stunned for a moment, but in the end, she was someone under Xie Zhengyi, so she quickly recovered and prepared a midnight snack for Bai Chen.

Because Bai Chen fainted and missed dinner, in addition, the original owner often had the habit of eating midnight snacks, so the small kitchen in Taiji Hall has been heating food with a small fire, always prepared.

This was Bai Chen’s request, Bi Luo soon brought the food over, then ordered the little palace maids, who had just been awakened by her, to tidy up the small table next to the dragon bed.

Bai Chen just sat directly on the dragon bed and ate.

Before Bai Chen took two bites, he saw the person who made him snort.

1. Jin Yiwei means Gold brocade guard, it is the elite bodyguard of the emperor. I will leave it as Jin Yiwei because it sounds better than gold clothes guard lol.

2. The idiom means failing to recognize a familiar person or a dispute between close people who fail to recognize each other

3. Huduan means something like shielding one’s shortcomings, or defending someone despite knowing that that person is in the wrong, basically a biased protective defender. I couldn’t find a word to put in that sentence that will get this meaning across so I go along with protective.
