[Inside the tent, Ye Yu sat on the main seat, while Huangfu Baizhi knelt respectfully before him.]

[At this moment, she had already prepared for the worst.]

[Even the possibility of immediate execution had crossed her mind.]

[Yet, she was deeply puzzled.]

[The disparity in military strength between them was vast.]

[If Ye Yu truly wished to annihilate their rebellion, it would be as easy as flipping a hand.]

[But why was he giving so much money to the rebels?]

[Was it really as the rumors said?]

[That the great money-sprinkling emperor's only hobby was to distribute wealth?]

[As Huangfu Baizhi pondered this, Ye Yu continued to observe the rebel leader.]

[Ever since hearing Meng Shifang's description of Huangfu Baizhi, he had been very interested in her.]

[He had even read through Huangfu Baizhi's documents on the way here.]

[It was hard to stop once he started.]

[In the hundred years of war, the tasks Meng Shifang assigned to Huangfu Baizhi were nothing short of hellish.]

[Yet this woman had demonstrated astonishing talent in leading troops.]

[No matter how dire the situation, as long as she was in command, she could effortlessly turn the tide.]

[Such a brilliant record should have warranted a promotion long ago.]

[But now, she was still just a minor fourth-rank general, stationed in a frigid, desolate land, with no hope in sight.]

[No wonder she harbored grievances!]

[Ye Yu lightly tapped the table, then, after a moment of thought, slowly rose and walked up to Huangfu Baizhi.]

[As he approached, Ye Yu could clearly smell a subtle fragrance.]

[Unexpectedly, not only were her eyes so sharp, but she also smelled so pleasant.]

[It was a pity that she was still veiled at this moment, making it somewhat regretful not to see her full appearance.]

[Ye Yu frowned slightly.]

[He reached out and pulled down the veil from Huangfu Baizhi's face.]

[Though she attempted to avert her face, she ultimately endured.]

[When Ye Yu saw Huangfu Baizhi's true face, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.]

[Originally, he thought that Huangfu Baizhi wore a veil to hide ugliness.]

[But he never expected that her appearance was so extraordinarily beautiful.]

[The beauty mark at the corner of her mouth added an extra touch of charm.]

[Huangfu Baizhi slightly lowered her head.]

[In a deep voice, she said: Your Majesty, there is no need to look further at this humble appearance of mine.]

[No matter what punishment is given, I can accept it.]

[Ye Yu couldn't help but laugh.]

[If this could be considered a humble appearance, then perhaps there are no beauties in the entire northern wilderness.]

[Ye Yu took a storage ring from his hand and placed it before her.]

[Upon seeing this, Huangfu Baizhi was very puzzled.]

[Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?]

[Ye Yu explained: Inside this ring are martial arts techniques, spiritual stones, and artifacts. With proper use, they can definitely help you advance to the next level.]

[This statement left Huangfu Baizhi even more confused.]

[It seemed that His Majesty did not intend to kill her?]

[Moreover, why was he giving so many things?]

[Huangfu Baizhi found it increasingly strange.]

[Just then, a terrifying vast pressure descended in an instant.]

[Even though Huangfu Baizhi had already reached the Integration Realm, under this immense pressure, she couldn't even move a finger.]

[Then, Ye Yu's warm voice echoed in her ears.]

[I intend to keep you for future use.]

[But one must know their place. If you accept my things and still harbor ill intentions, then no one can protect you, and I mean that.]

[Huangfu Baizhi's heart trembled violently.]

[After speaking, Ye Yu turned and left the tent.]

[The terrifying pressure also vanished.]

[Huangfu Baizhi knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.]

[What money-sprinkling emperor? A ruler without cultivation?]

[It was all false, all of it!]

[Ye Yu's cultivation level was definitely above the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.]

[He might even be at the legendary Ascension Realm.]

[It was terrifying!]

[Everyone in the Great Yong Dynasty thought Ye Yu was an emperor who didn't practice cultivation and only knew how to squander money.]

[In contrast, he was actually the most hidden figure on this continent.]

[No wonder he dared to come alone.]

[With such cultivation, even if the rebel forces were ten times more in number, they wouldn't pose a threat to him.]

[But what did his words mean?]

[Kept for future use?]

[Huangfu Baizhi didn't believe that a mere Integration Realm cultivator could be of any use to someone at the Ascension Realm.]

[Could it be that His Majesty was interested in her?]

[Huangfu Baizhi shook her head slightly, a blush appearing on her face.]

[She picked up the veil from the ground and put it back on.]

[As the Emperor of a Great Dynasty, what kind of woman couldn't he have? How could he be interested in her?]

[Huangfu Baizhi dismissed this unrealistic thought.]

[She then picked up the storage ring, infused a trace of spiritual energy into it, and began to examine it.]

[But just one glance made her expression priceless.]

[That night, Ye Yu returned to the palace.]

[He found Sun Longhai still kneeling at the entrance of the Yangxin Hall.]

[Ye Yu asked him what he was doing.]

[Sun Longhai immediately replied that he also bore responsibility for Huangfu Baizhi's rebellion.]

[You insisted on negotiating alone with the rebels, which made him very worried.]

[So he planned to kneel here until His Majesty returned, and if His Majesty did not come, he would kneel until death!]

[Listening to these extremely nauseating words, Ye Yu stepped forward and gently kicked him over.]

[He then prepared to go back and rest.]

[Sun Longhai struggled to get up and hurriedly asked: Your Majesty, how was the handling of the rebels?]

[Ye Yu had already walked far and waved his hand, saying: Treacherous ministers and rebels, I alone suppressed them!]

[Upon hearing this, Sun Longhai furrowed his brow slightly and murmured to himself: Treacherous ministers and rebels, I alone what?]

[Wait, could it be "marry"?] (¹)

["Treacherous ministers and rebels, I alone marry them." That flows well!]

[For the peace of the nation and people, His Majesty actually took on all the burdens alone.]

[But who did he marry?]

[Huangfu Baizhi!]

[The leader of the rebels!]

[Your Majesty, your sacrifice is so great!]

[Sun Longhai wiped away the invisible tears on his face.]

[He recalled the scene from a hundred years ago, when Ye Yu often looked at Huangfu Baizhi.]

[Wait, perhaps His Majesty wasn't making a sacrifice, but had planned this for a long time!]

[Whatever it is!]

[As long as His Majesty can marry, it's a great blessing for the Great Yong Dynasty.]

[The Ye family's legitimate line would finally have descendants!]

[After a moment of silence, Sun Longhai quickly left the palace.]

[He summoned his trusted aides for a meeting.]

[The ministers gathered at the Sun residence.]

[Someone anxiously asked: Prime Minister, why did you call us here in such a hurry? Is something major happening?]

[Is it related to the rebel Huangfu Baizhi?]

[Upon hearing this, Sun Longhai slapped him across the face.]

[To hell with the rebels, that's the Empress!]
