Chapter 128 Past
When he appeared on the streets of the imperial city, dressed in a dragon robe and surrounded by a host of civil and military officials and 100,000 snow dragon riders who resembled demon gods,
And at this moment.
Those people of Northern Qi who had already heard of the new emperor's various "miracles" were filled with the most fervent worship and awe after witnessing Ye Tian's handsome face, which was like a god descending to earth, and feeling the aura of a "true dragon emperor" and the "unrivaled imperial pressure" emanating from him that made people want to worship him.
"Long live! Long live! Long live the Emperor—!!!"
It's unclear who first shouted this, but soon after, the entire imperial city's inhabitants, regardless of age or gender, erupted in thunderous cheers, like a powder keg that had been lit! They knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Ye Tian's imperial carriage, shouting "Long live the Emperor!" The waves of cheers grew louder and louder, as if they were about to overturn the entire sky!
They were awestruck by Ye Tian's innate "imperial aura" and the "true dragon emperor's fortune" bestowed upon him, and they were overjoyed for this "new emperor" who could bring them peace and hope! In their hearts, Ye Tian was already the true dragon emperor destined by heaven, the savior who would lead them to glory!
Standing atop the palace tower, Zhan Doudou gazed upon the magnificent scene below, where countless people paid homage and shouted "Long live the Emperor!" Looking at the young emperor, fervently worshipped by the masses, the last trace of resentment and struggle in her heart vanished completely.
She was completely convinced, and utterly worshipful. She knew that her idea of "borrowing a seed" might not have been wishful thinking, but rather, perhaps, destiny?
After experiencing all of this, Si Lili and Haitang Duoduo's admiration and infatuation with Ye Tian reached an unprecedented level. They felt that being the woman of such a god-like emperor was the greatest fortune of their lives.
Only Fan Xian, standing in the crowd, looked at Ye Tian, the "younger brother" who was revered by all, spirited and like a god, and felt an indescribable sense of disbelief.
He knew Ye Tian was strong and ambitious, but he never expected that Ye Tian would actually destroy a country, ascend the throne, and win the support of the people in just a few months with such lightning speed!
All of this felt like a dream, so unreal, yet so breathtaking!
Looking at Ye Tian, he felt that the distance between them seemed to be growing further and further, so far that he could only look up at him.
·············
After Ye Tian ascended the throne and established the "Great Qin Dynasty," and quickly stabilized the situation in Northern Qi (now known as the Northern Border of Great Qin) with swift and decisive measures, his illustrious reputation and miraculous achievements in both civil and military affairs spread like wildfire to every corner of the world.
Countless people are filled with awe and curiosity towards the "First Emperor of Martial Arts," who, at the tender age of fourteen, had already established an unparalleled empire. Among them is a talented woman with a special identity and a tragic fate—Shen Wan'er.
Shen Wan'er, eighteen years old, was the eldest daughter of the prominent Shen family in the former capital of Northern Qi. From a young age, she was well-versed in literature and possessed exceptional talent and beauty, making her the goddess in the hearts of countless noble young men of Northern Qi. She once had a deeply unforgettable love affair with Yan Bingyun, a hostage (actually a spy) sent to Northern Qi by the Qing Kingdom, and remained devoted to him.
However, she was unaware that Yan Bingyun's true identity was the head of intelligence from the Southern Qing Dynasty, infiltrated into the Northern Qi. During their passionate romance, Shen Wan'er unintentionally revealed many of the Northern Qi's military and political secrets to Yan Bingyun. When Yan Bingyun's identity was later exposed and he was captured by the Northern Qi's Imperial Guards, their relationship was also revealed to the world.
Shen Wan'er thus fell from grace, her family disgraced, and she herself endured the scorn and condemnation of the world. Pu Nan Shusheng's new work is here, updated first on Kele Novels! Yet, she stubbornly refused to believe that the man she deeply loved was a complete liar, that her sincere heart had been misplaced. Her heart sank completely into the mire of despair, unable to escape.
Some time ago, the Qing Kingdom and the Northern Qi Kingdom exchanged prisoners, and Yan Bingyun was able to return to the Qing Kingdom. Shen Wan'er was supposed to be executed for the crime of leaking secrets, but considering her father's past merits and the fact that she was already a "fallen flower" (in the eyes of the world), she was eventually expelled from the capital and exiled to the frontier by order of Zhan Doudou (who was then the emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom).
During her exile, she heard earth-shattering news about Ye Tian, the Prince of Qin of Qing, who launched a northern expedition, subsequently conquered the capital of Northern Qi, ascended the throne, and established the "Great Qin Dynasty." In particular, Ye Tian's unparalleled literary talent, which could "shake the halls with a hundred poems," his handsome appearance like a god descending to earth, and his peerless martial arts rekindled a faint flame in her long-dead heart.
"Ye Tian, the First Emperor of Martial Arts, a fourteen-year-old terrestrial immortal," Shen Wan'er said in the simple inn, listening to the almost mythical descriptions of Ye Tian given by passing merchants. Her eyes involuntarily gleamed with an unusual light.
She recalled her past relationship, the one where she had been deceived and betrayed, and Yan Bingyun's handsome yet cold and ruthless face. Both were exceptionally talented and handsome, so why was Ye Tian able to be upright and create an everlasting empire, while Yan Bingyun, whom she had deeply loved, was merely a cunning spy hiding in the shadows, manipulating people's hearts and devoid of any genuine feelings?
A powerful, almost morbid thought began to grow wildly in her mind—she had to see Ye Tian! She wanted to see with her own eyes what this young emperor, praised by the world as a god, really looked like! Perhaps, perhaps he was the true salvation in her life!
So, disregarding everything, Shen Wan'er traveled thousands of miles, enduring countless hardships, and finally arrived at the former capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which Ye Tian had designated as the temporary capital of "Great Qin". Relying on the remaining connections of her Shen family in Northern Qi, as well as her extraordinary talent and beauty, she actually managed to obtain an audience with Ye Tian, the "First Emperor of the New Dynasty".
When Shen Wan'er entered the former Golden Palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty, now renamed "Ziji Hall," filled with trepidation, excitement, and a hint of inexplicable anticipation, the first thing she saw was the young emperor sitting high on the dragon throne.
With just one glance, Shen Wan'er was completely stunned.
The Ye Tian before her wore a dark black dragon robe embroidered with nine five-clawed golden dragons, and a twelve-tassel crown. His face was so handsome it seemed otherworldly, his skin as white as jade, as if radiating a faint divine glow. His deep eyes, as if containing the entire starry sky, calmly gazed at her, yet carried an all-knowing, supreme majesty that looked down upon all living beings. His aura was transcendent, ethereal like a celestial being, as if he did not belong to this mortal realm.
This, this is no ordinary emperor! This is clearly a celestial being descended from the heavens to the mortal realm! A god walking among men!
"This sinful woman, Shen Wan'er, pays her respects to His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin! Long live the Emperor!" Shen Wan'er felt her legs go weak and she uncontrollably knelt down, prostrating herself on the ground. Her voice trembled slightly with excitement and awe.
She was completely captivated by Ye Tian's astonishing talent (which she had already heard about), his unparalleled beauty, and his godlike aura! The resentment and unwillingness she had buried deep in her heart towards Yan Bingyun vanished at this moment, replaced by boundless admiration and mad infatuation for the young god-emperor before her!
"Rise." Ye Tian's voice was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Wan'er slowly stood up, but still dared not look directly at Ye Tian's face.
Ye Tian looked down at the beautiful woman below, with her graceful demeanor and a hint of unyielding sorrow and fervor in her eyes, and his heart stirred slightly. He already knew about Shen Wan'er and Yan Bingyun's past from the system.
