Feng Chaoge is the ruler of a country.
She is strong, dominating, and everything is under her control.
Although Su Shi has a far-sighted view, he was still deceived by her everywhere.
However, after a long time with the empress, he saw another characteristic that was most apparent.
Loneliness.
No relatives, no friends.
The civil and military officials within the empire only praise her, and the palace servants and eunuchs don’t even dare to look at her.
She was clearly the highest powerhouse, but she was trapped in the palace, entangled in worldly affairs, and the burden on her shoulders made her unable to breathe.
Su Shi’s appearance was like sunshine piercing through the night, illuminating the dark and gloomy palace.
Waking up late, sleeping in the same bed, and not going to court early.
Feng Chaoge seemed to have become a weak ruler in her impression.
But she has never been so easy.
In the eyes of others, she was still a cruel empress, but in front of Su Shi, she could release all her pressure and defenses, and be herself.
“Su Shi.”
Feng Chaoge’s lips slightly opened.
“I’m here.”
Su Shi looked at her gently.
Feng Chaoge’s eyes were shy, and she said softly, “You cannot disappoint me, or I will cut you into eight pieces and throw them into the Fengjiang River to feed the fish.”
“???”
Su Shi almost suffered internal injuries.
He thought the other party would come to a deep confession…
Still in her usual style.
Seeing his bitter appearance, a smile appeared in Feng Chaoge’s eyes.
The two walked forward on the paved road.
Thousands of thoughts crossed Su Shi’s mind.
Of course, he understood the intention of the other party, and he also liked this Tsundere Empress very much.
The biggest question now is how he should explain this to the Demon Empress.
Both of them are the strongest people in the world, and they dominate each other, and their identities also do not match.
The relationship between the Demonic path and the imperial palace cannot be reconciled in a few words.
“I have to improve my cultivation as soon as possible.”
“When I reach the Tribulation Realm and get the strongest dao, I can reverse the dragon’s vein, then the problem will naturally be solved.”
“When that time comes, I will beat anyone who disobeys.”
Su Shi smiled wickedly.
Feng Chaoge looked at him curiously, “What are you thinking, laughing like that…?”
“Cough cough.”
Su Shi coughed, “Nothing, I was just thinking of happy things.”
Feng Chaoge looked a little suspicious, but she didn’t ask further.
“I will return to Weiyang Capital, so I cannot be by your side. You must not fool around, and you cannot have any relationships with women anywhere.”
Su Shi pounded his chest hard, “Don’t worry, don’t you understand my character? I am upright, loyal, honest, and brave, and I will definitely keep my body for Your Majesty!”
“I don’t believe it.”
Feng Chaoge snorted coldly and said, “You now have two other women in your house, and you are still talking about loyalty to me?”
Su Shi’s face didn’t turn red, and his heart didn’t beat, “At least when I am with Your Majesty, I only have Your Majesty in my heart.”
Feng Chaoge was stunned for a moment, then said angrily and humorously, “I really don’t know how thick your face can be.”
It would be a lie to say that Su Shi didn’t care. But there were many women around him, and she was one of them.
Su Shi was not lacking in women around him. Therefore, instead of wasting time, it was better to enjoy every moment with her sincerely.
“I really don’t know what you’re thinking,” said Feng Chaoge as she quietly held his hand.
Su Shi turned to look, and saw her looking to the side, but her cheeks were tinged with a hint of red. Su Shi reciprocated by holding her hand. The corner of Feng Chaoge’s mouth curved into a bright smile.
“It’s going to snow,” she said, looking at the increasingly dark sky. Her breath condensed into frost, “Let’s go shopping on the street.”
“Okay, let’s go,” Su Shi led her out of the alley and back onto the bustling street.
The crowd of people, the clamor and commotion, and the shouts of vendors hawking food and drink and the steaming heat mixed together. “I want to eat that white cake.”
“Okay, I’ll buy it for you.”
Su Shi was about to go buy the cake when a child’s shout rang in his ear:
“Snow!”
The initially grey sky gradually turned white, and snowflakes danced in the air like dandelions. From insignificant and scattered snowflakes, it gradually turned into thick snow, covering the sky and the ground.
Su Shi was stunned. Not because of the sudden snowfall. His eyes pierced through the snow and saw a figure standing in front of a stall. Her robe was whiter than the snowflakes, her beautiful face buried in a luxurious collar as she pointed to a piece of candy. “How much is this?”
The vendor extended his hand, “Ten copper coins.”
The woman took out a gold coin, “This is all I have.”
Vendor: “…”
The woman successfully acquired the entire stall. She took out a candy, opened her mouth, and bit it lightly. Her beautiful eyebrows immediately frowned.
“Well, this is really bad…”
“Your Majesty?”
Su Shi looked at her blankly.
Yun Qiluo turned her head, her clear eyes reflecting the wind and snow. Glancing at Su Shi, her eyes shifted slightly, and she chose Feng Chaoge, who was dressed plainly.
They looked at each other, and time stopped at this moment.
Completely stopped.
The wind stopped, the snowflakes floating in the air, the atmosphere became dense, and the movement of pedestrians around them slowed down several times.
A terrifying coercion spread, and dark cracks appeared in the emptiness.
They hadn’t fought yet, but the space would soon collapse!
Su Shi’s back was a little cold.
He was so scared!
The bloody battle he had been expecting for had come so quickly?
With the strength of these two, if they really fought, let alone Nanli City, the entire Southwest Region would likely be completely destroyed!
“Please calm down!” Su Shi wanted to say.
But under the pressure of the Supreme Yang, he couldn’t do anything and could only blink nervously.
After a long time, Feng Chaoge said, “Yun Qiluo, you have crossed the border, this is not the southern border of Youzhou.”
Yun Qiluo said lightly, “Do I need your permission to go wherever I want?”
Feng Chaoge’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Are you declaring war on me?”
“Since when did the war stop?”
Yun Qiluo sneered, “I came to see my Shengzi, do I need your permission for that?”
She frowned slightly, “Besides, it’s New Year Festival, why are you in the Southwest Region instead of Weiyang Capital to pay respects to your ancestors? And you’re dressed like that… it’s quite strange.”
Feng Chaoge’s expression remained unchanged, “What do you know? This is my personal visit.”
Yun Qiluo looked at her, “Out of all the places, why did you choose to visit Nanli City?”
Feng Chaoge turned her head away, “Why do you care? I’m free to go wherever I want.”
Yun Qiluo pinched her chin.
For some unknown reason, she felt that something was off about this Holy Empress.
