Chapter 1136: Changing the Land

In autumn of the same year, the emperor of Southern Glory Empire issued a law: Experts and the strong were prohibited from committing willful slaughter. In particular, they were prohibited from attacking civilians who couldn’t defend themselves. Experts would compete against each other every year in order to obtain noble status and a series of privileges from the imperial court.

In short, no willful slaughter was allowed.

But reverence of the powerful didn’t change.

If it was a feud, the imperial court wouldn’t interfere.

The imperial court was just protecting the lives of civilians.

With such a decree, a large number of commoners moved away from Rising Clouds…

Their thinking was simple: A little hardship and exhaustion was fine, if it meant they could live their days in peace.

In Southern Glory Empire, they could earn money with their skills and live peaceful lives.

In a fit of anger, Xiao Jingyun ordered the gates of the country to be shut.

No one was allowed to leave the city!

The nobles, who were already unhappy with him, were even more displeased. The imperial court was in turmoil every day, and many people delivered memorials to Xiao Jingyun for the release of Xiao Xiao from prison.

Xiao Jingyun killed a few children of the noble families in his anger, and in a short while, he was suppressed.

When Feng Qingtian received the news, he immediately sent the Dark Army to attack Rising Clouds.

Even after he was forced to abdicate, Xiao Jingyun didn’t know how it happened.

It was so fast that he didn’t have time to react.

Xiao Xiao was released from prison and was escorted to the throne by several noble families.

The Earthly Residence attacked and destroyed the original four families of Rising Clouds Empire. The four families were wiped out and all their assets were confiscated. They were then replaced by the unknown Bu family.

After asking around, everyone found out that the Bu family was actually the paternal family of Shao Zun’s wife.

The Bu family had always been in business and had connections with the royal families of the three countries. They operated behind the scenes and were already as rich as a rival country.

Rising Clouds Empire changed so fast that people didn’t even have time to react before it was over.

As for why he destroyed the four major families, what Shao Zun had to say was: “That’s what happens when you bully my woman.”

After Lu Fenying learned that Xiao Xiao had ascended the throne, he locked Mo Qian’er in the imperial palace and prevented her from leaving. The defenses in her palace were unprecedentedly tight.

Mo Qian’er was neither happy nor sad. This was Xiao Xiao’s own choice.

Whether he was good or bad after becoming the emperor had nothing to do with her, but if he needed her help in the future, she would do her best.

Lu Fenying used to come to her palace every two or three days. Now, he came every day, no matter how busy he was.

It was as if he was guarding against her running away.

Mo Qian’er focused on Crown Prince Lu. If Lu Fenying came, she would say a few words to him. If he didn’t come, she never waited for him.

Lu Fenying’s harem was very simple. Apart from her, there was only Su Muwei. At most, there was Xiu’er in the kitchen, but no other girls.

The ministers wanted him to expand his harem, but at a cold frown and glare from him, no one dared to bother with the matter of his harem anymore.

Mo Qian’er didn’t care about anything and lived in seclusion. Su Muwei was in charge of the harem, and she was in the limelight for half a year. Everyone thought that she might be promoted to empress.

In the end, half a year had passed, and Lu Fenying didn’t seem to have any feelings for her.

Su Muwei’s body collapsed, and she became thinner and weaker.

Lu Fenying called many imperial physicians to treat her, but no longer had Mo Qian’er use her Dragon Spirit Blood.

Mo Qian’er naturally knew what was going on with Su Muwei’s body, but was she supposed to save her?

Sorry, she really wasn’t that kind. She didn’t care about the past grudge, but she wasn’t going to repay evil with good.
