Chapter 252 Harem
The situation in the court changed, and the throne changed hands, which was soon announced to the world.
Li Tang and his group were either arrested or escaped.
Only Li Ji, the crown prince of Li Tang, led his men to attack and occupied the eastern city of Luoyang, controlling a part of the power and competing with Li Zhen.
For a while, Dasheng began to fall into chaos.
The people began to panic, fearing that war would break out.
However, inside the palace, Li Zhen did not care about these things. He came to the harem and walked into the Fengluan Palace where the imperial concubine lived in the past.
Inside the palace, the woman looked at the newcomer timidly, feeling uneasy: "Why don't you kill me?"
If the palace maids from the past were still there, they would recognize that this woman was the former Crown Prince Li Ji's princess consort - Xu.
Li Zhen looked at the woman's pitiful tears and felt itchy in his heart. He lifted her face, wiped away the tear, and brought it to his lips to taste it.
That’s great. From now on, she will be my own.
Li Zhen still remembered that he once met the fairy-like Xu under the bright moonlight in the palace.
Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her pair of crystal clear eyes were like galaxies pouring down. Her aloof temperament made him intoxicated.
At that time, Xu didn't know his identity. She just thought he was a palace servant who was bullied, so she asked someone to bring him medicine and food.
At that moment, he experienced for the first time what it was like to have his heart moved, and the fire began to burn in his heart, existing only for her.
Many times, he would secretly observe Xu. Xu was such a pure woman, and she spoke softly to everyone. Everyone had a very high opinion of her and liked this Crown Princess.
Li Zhen thought at that time that it would be good if she was only nice to him.
So he made up his mind to get her by any means necessary, and a passionate struggle and confrontation began.
Li Zhen began to plan secretly, overthrowing the rule of his uncle and taking the huge palace into his own hands.
His heart was full of determination and expectation, because he knew that only when he gained power would he be qualified to pursue the woman of his dreams - Xu.
But the real challenge has just begun. In the deepest part of the palace, there is her.
So Li Zhen walked into the forbidden area of Prince Hall, the secret corner of the deep palace. Every step he took was cautious, and every breath he took was full of tension and expectation.
Xu's residence was brightly lit, as if it was a moon palace that was out of reach. He finally found her under those high walls, and he watched her lotus-like figure sitting quietly, facing the night in silence.
He brought Xu out of her lonely and desolate life, and removed the shackles of the palace walls that could be broken at any moment. He put her into a new life, surrounded by his pampering and protection every day. But he also knew clearly that this persistent pursuit would expose him to all kinds of criticism and danger. But he was fearless, because in his heart, Xu's existence was everything to him.
However, Xu didn't know what he wanted to do. She was terrified every day in the deep palace. Every time she saw Li Zhen, she was extremely scared.
She had also thought about committing suicide to preserve her reputation, but Li Zhen actually threatened her with her family.
After being imprisoned for more than ten days, Xu had only met Li Zhen twice.
The first time was the day she was arrested. She wanted to commit suicide, but Li Zhen threatened her in a bad tone. The second time they met was now.
Xu didn't know what he wanted to do. She had been living very well in the palace these days. This situation made him even more worried. Was Li Zhen trying to use her to threaten the prince?
Xu was constantly guessing in her mind, waiting for Li Zhen's next move.
However, Li Zhen actually raised his face and sucked the tears from his face.
Xu was horrified and tried to push Li Zhen away immediately, but Li Zhen restrained her hands and sealed her lips with his hot kiss.
Xu suddenly realized that Li Zhen wanted to do something bad to her.
But she was obviously not a beautiful woman, and she had been married and had children, so why would Li Zhen be like this...
Do you want to humiliate the prince and humiliate yourself?
Xu resisted in panic, feeling very scared.
However, Li Zhen let her go. Xu stood up in horror and fled to the farthest door, but the door was locked and she had no way to escape.
Li Zhen just looked at her like this, and felt a little happy when he saw her panic-stricken look.
"Is your nickname Gillian? How about I call you that from now on?"
Li Zhen asked Xu in a gentle voice, and Xu was very confused and afraid.
However, Li Zhen was still talking to himself, "Ah Jiao, come here, you will stay by my side from now on. Whatever you had before, I will give you double now."
"You can't do this! I'm your cousin's wife!" Xu Jiaoran reminded her.
"Cousin? Now you are just my concubine!"
"No! I am Crown Princess Xu!" Xu Jiaoran said unwillingly.
"Come here! Gillian! Don't say such things again!" Li Zhen's face changed.
Xu Jiaoran naturally refused to go over, so Li Zhen had to catch her himself.
Xu Jiaoran wanted to run, but the palace door was locked. Where could she run to? Besides, if she ran out of the palace, everyone outside was his people. He was already the master of the palace, so she couldn't escape.
Xu Jiaoran was grabbed by Li Zhen and held in his arms.
"You can't do this. I'm your cousin's wife. I'm just a married woman with children. What kind of woman can't you want?"
"But I just have an interest in you." Li Zhen sneered.
Maybe this is an obsession. When you are most desperate, someone suddenly appears and warms you, and you will remember this person for the rest of your life.
As an emperor, he tortured and destroyed her endlessly, making her struggle in pain.
At first, Li Zhen was happy, happy that he got what he wanted. However, Xu Jiaoran's tenacity and perseverance made him even more obsessed, and he began to develop an indescribable feeling for her.
Deep in the palace, Xu Jiaoran was imprisoned in a magnificent palace. Every corner of the palace was decorated with gold and splendor, but this could not hide her inner loneliness and despair. Li Zhen often came here and made unreasonable demands on her. Every time he came, Xu Jiaoran's heart was filled with fear and helplessness.
However, Xu Jiaoran did not give in. She used her last bit of stubbornness to fight against Li Zhen silently.
Li Zhen saw her decadent appearance, which was completely different from her former gentleness and virtue. She always looked like a madman to him, and he felt very annoyed. He could have any kind of woman he wanted, but he just couldn't let her go for the time being. Perhaps his interest was not over yet.
Li Zhen began to take meticulous care of her life, hoping to win her heart in this way.
However, this did not change Xu Jiaoran's determination. She still maintained her stubbornness, which made Li Zhen feel extremely frustrated and angry. His heart began to become complicated. He was obsessed with and loved Xu Jiaoran, but also hated and was angry at her. He began to experience unprecedented torment and struggle in his heart.
