Chapter 929: Qi Ruohua's Confession
Such a huge dynasty, many people have their own ideas; human nature is the hardest to fathom. I finally understood my former father king's feelings, why he didn't want me to take this position.
Sometimes I am really tired, dealing with those people, dealing with those families; it's not just about killing them off. Those people, they truly aren't afraid at all—kill a batch and another batch appears.
I have already been good enough to them, but they—each one has their own ideas; only Jing Yuheng has always stood by my side. Those people constantly try to guess my intentions; they may lack strength, but their thoughts are many.
Managing a dynasty cannot be done by me alone. After the Heavenly Heart Sect was destroyed, many people related to it hid themselves, thinking they hid well; in fact, I simply don't want to act against them for now.
Our child is the most important; before the child is born, I will endure them.
Qi Ruohua spoke of her own suffering, facing those people, those families, and all sorts of people; human nature is the hardest to fathom.
Fortunately, Jing Yuheng has always been by her side, commanding the Black Dragon Guard and the army.
Resources are in her hands, allowing her to control most of it; no matter how those people cause a ruckus, Qi Ruohua doesn't mind killing another batch later.
Anyway, it's all killing; what difference does it make whether more or fewer are killed?
Some people truly deserve to die.
Chen Chuyang listened, comforting her without interjecting; he couldn't intervene in these matters—those people need Qi Ruohua to act herself; they are merely insignificant ants, no need for Chen Chuyang to act personally.
"No matter what you do, I will support you, my lady."
Chen Chuyang embraced her and gently said: "When you encounter an enemy you cannot match in strength, you can come to me; I will make them know what despair is."
When Chen Chuyang acts, it means real death; by then, it won't be enough to kill just one or two people.
Either don't act, or eradicate them completely.
"Mmm." Qi Ruohua enjoyed the moment and also wished for someone to rely on.
Chen Chuyang, this reliance, will never disappoint her at any time.
"By then, after this child grows up and reaches adulthood, I wish to hand over this vast dynasty to him."
"In the future, I may go to Tianwai together with my husband."
"Tianwai is where true cultivation lies; there are many treasures there, as well as various opponents."
The Great Qi Dynasty is good, also not bad, but she cannot remain here forever.
After being emperor for a long time, one inevitably becomes tired.
The child is still young; she will have to control things for another ten or twenty years, by then things will have changed, people will be different.
"We'll talk about it later." Chen Chuyang said slowly: "By then, I still won't know whether we will go to Tianwai; after all, Tianwai is very dangerous, our strength is great in this world, but once we reach Tianwai, it's hard to say."
Qi Ruohua heard this and nodded: "Indeed."
"However, we can start preparing now—resources, as well as all aspects—begin preparing, step by step grow stronger, then think of a way to send a group to Tianwai to scout the path."
"Didn't the White Deer King discover a passage? Inside that passage, there should be a road leading to Tianwai."
"If we can directly enter Tianwai, we..."
Qi Ruohua also has interest in Tianwai; that passage might become the true road for their world's rise.
This world has many talents; those people, if they go to Tianwai and can survive, can quickly realize their potential, and even feed back to this world.
Even just within the Great Qi Dynasty, there is a batch of new talents; those talents quickly emerge.
After the Heavenly Heart Sect was destroyed, many resources were consolidated; Qi Ruohua also gained many resources in her hands, and medicinal pills increased manyfold.
It's not like before, when there was nothing.
"Don't think too much; you should still cultivate properly."
"Increasing cultivation is the kingly way; other matters can be left to others."
"Only with great strength can one control everything."
"Everyone fears the strong, not power and resources; once you understand this, those below will naturally dare not act rashly and will naturally be under your control."
The Imperial Heart Technique is not just empty talk; it contains profound scholarship.
Chen Chuyang is not skilled in this; he can let Qi Ruohua study it, and also let her educate their son in the future.
The Imperial Heart Technique lies in control, in balance, in governing people.
Put simply, it is to control everything, yet also let go of everything.
As long as the most important few controls are in your palm, the rest doesn't matter.
"I know."
Qi Ruohua leaned on Chen Chuyang and said: "I also think that way—only the strong will be respected and feared."
"This past year, I have cultivated little, all for your son."
"Your son alone has absorbed how much of my origin, replenished as much as he absorbs—like a bottomless pit; fortunately I have enough resources, enough for him to devour."
"It's unlikely to increase cultivation; merely maintaining the current level is already difficult."
Chen Chuyang stroked this woman, comforting: "You've worked hard, my lady."
"You also know hardship, yet you don't come to see me."
Chen Chuyang gave an embarrassed smile, briefly describing what had happened recently.
After hearing that, Qi Ruohua asked concerned: "Is Hongxue alright?"
"No."
"And you? Husband."
"I'm fine."
Qi Ruohua suddenly sat up straight, staring intently at Chen Chuyang.
For some reason, Chen Chuyang felt uneasy inside, always having an ominous premonition.
After staring for a while, Qi Ruohua smiled and asked: "I heard you took down Shang Hongchen? Is that true?"
"Eh?" Chen Chuyang blinked; this news wasn't known by many—how did Qi Ruohua find out?
"How do you know?"
Qi Ruohua chuckled: "Don't worry about how I know; I'm asking whether it's true."
A pain came from his waist; this woman's strike was truly vicious.
Chen Chuyang nodded: "Yes."
The things that happened inside, Chen Chuyang did not conceal; he told Qi Ruohua one by one—these matters could be found with a simple check, so there was no need to hide them, and Qi Ruohua could learn them anytime she wanted.
She didn't go check, but deliberately asked herself; the meaning was quite obvious.
"Roughly speaking, that's the situation; it's all Hongxue operating, I, on the other hand, am responsible for doing things."
Qi Ruohua looked at Chen Chuyang with a smiling, narrowed eyes, leaned in, and asked softly: "Does it feel good?"
"Cough cough cough." Chen Chuyang coughed violently, gave that woman a white-eyed look; saying such things at this time, isn't it obvious... digging a pit?
No matter how he answers, he'll be wrong; better not to answer.
Qi Ruohua became even happier; she really likes seeing Chen Chuyang suffer a setback, and there aren't many people or things that can make him suffer a setback.
Now she has caught a handle, she can properly tease this husband.
