Chapter 355: Tell Me what you need, and I can give it all to you!
Inside the room.
Yang Guang was still staring fixedly at Xiao Meiniang and the Eastern Emperor Bell before him.
In his eyes, besides the previous desire, there was now more complexity.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everything happening before him was simply impossible.
He still found it hard to believe what was happening before his eyes.
He was unwilling to believe that the Empress, with whom he had lived for so long, had actually possessed such a divine object as the Eastern Emperor Bell all along.
Most importantly, for so many years, he hadn't discovered a single anomaly!
"What a scheme, my Empress!!"
Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said viciously to Xiao Meiniang.
"Possessing such a divine object, yet able to endure by My side for so many years before forcing Me to abdicate!"
"Should I say you are overly cautious, or should I say you truly know how to hide your light and bide your time!"
Xiao Meiniang, having fully fused with the Power of Faith, exuded a mysterious aura; she did not pay attention to Yang Guang, who was now completely insane.
Instead, she extended the index finger of her right hand and gently pointed at the Demon Sect member who had just ambushed her.
There was no light, nor any sword qi, finger intent, or other fluctuations.
It seemed as if a person without any cultivation was simply pointing her finger in anger at a bad person who had bullied her.
Originally, seeing Xiao Meiniang in such a stance, Yang Guang would have expected her to use some earth-shattering move; he hurriedly scrambled to the corner of the room and curled up.
After a while, seeing no reaction, Xiao Meiniang was still in the same posture, pointing her finger at the mysterious Demon Sect person.
And that Demon Sect person also had no movement, still standing firmly in place.
Seeing that nothing happened, Yang Guang thought about mocking Xiao Meiniang.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, he discovered that the Demon Sect person he had invited was shattering inch by inch from head to toe into powder invisible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, Yang Guang immediately swallowed the words he wanted to say and hurriedly sealed his own mouth.
"What just happened???"
"I clearly didn't feel any fluctuations at all!!!"
Yang Guang's face was filled with fear, and he screamed madly in his heart.
After the Demon Sect person turned into fragments, Xiao Meiniang flashed and appeared before Yang Guang.
She was still extending a finger, but it was different from what Yang Guang had just seen.
Now, golden light was swirling around Xiao Meiniang's finger.
Every ray of golden light made Yang Guang feel the threat of death.
Thinking back to the scene where the Demon Sect member turned into fragments, Yang Guang collapsed instantly.
Terrified by Xiao Meiniang, he collapsed directly to the ground, looked at her in despair, and asked loudly:
"What exactly do you want??"
"As long as it is something I can give you, I will give it all to you!"
"Don't kill Me, please don't kill Me."
"I am willing to tell you all the secrets of the Great Sui, don't kill Me, I am still useful!!"
Yang Guang looked at Xiao Meiniang before him, who showed no signs of stopping, and began to howl in complete collapse:
"Save the Emperor!! Come quickly and save the Emperor!!!"
Yang Guang shouted in despair, but no one paid him any heed.
Xiao Meiniang looked at Yang Guang as if looking at an ant, and said indifferently without a trace of emotion:
"Originally, I didn't intend to do anything to you."
"I just wanted to imprison you forever, to let you see that the Great Sui in My hands would become even more powerful."
"But what I didn't expect was that you would secretly try to assassinate Me."
"After the assassination just now, I changed My mind."
Saying this, Xiao Meiniang suddenly laughed.
"I want to turn you into an idiot, to save any future trouble."
Hearing Xiao Meiniang's words, the smile full of charm on her face appeared to Yang Guang to be more terrifying than a devil!
Xiao Meiniang also wanted to kill Yang Guang to eliminate future trouble, but she had just ascended the throne and had not yet fully controlled the Great Sui.
Moreover, the Yang clan still had considerable strength in the Great Sui.
Once Yang Guang was killed, it might cause these people to collectively oppose her.
At that time, the Great Sui, which was already somewhat precarious, would become even worse.
Those clans and rebel armies would become the second Li Tang, causing the Great Sui to fall into complete disarray.
Therefore, to better control the Great Sui, Yang Guang could not die yet; as for later, once the Great Sui was completely under Xiao Meiniang's control, Yang Guang would naturally be useless.
Before Yang Guang could continue to struggle, Xiao Meiniang gently tapped her finger, which was wrapped in terrifying beams of light, onto Yang Guang's head.
In an instant, the several streams of light that had been wrapped around her finger drilled into Yang Guang's mind.
After Xiao Meiniang acted, Yang Guang began to scream in agony.
Seeing Yang Guang's wretched appearance, Xiao Meiniang did not feel the slightest pity for him, but instead walked out of the room.
After leaving the room, Xiao Meiniang said indifferently to the guards at the door:
"Watch the Retired Emperor well."
"Without My permission, anyone who approaches this room is to be killed without mercy!"
Without waiting for the guards to reply, Xiao Meiniang strode away from the area.
Great Tang, Changancheng.
Li Shimin looked at the Divine Weapon Ranking in the sky in great shock.
What he never expected was that the Eastern Emperor Bell, ranked third on the Divine Weapon Ranking, had been in Xiao Meiniang's hands all along.
He had never imagined that Xiao Meiniang, who had always been deep and unrevealing, would not only become the first Empress of the Great Sui and even the Nine Provinces, but also hold the third-ranked divine weapon of the Nine Provinces.
Li Shimin looked at the phantom of the Eastern Emperor Bell appearing in the sky, and suddenly thought of the Xuanyuan Sword ranked ninth.
"Counting the Xuanyuan Sword in Yuwen Tuo's hands and the Eastern Emperor Bell that just appeared on the Divine Weapon Ranking, the Great Sui now has two supreme treasures!"
"Xiao Meiniang's Eastern Emperor Bell is even ranked third on the Divine Weapon Ranking!"
"The current situation is truly unfavorable for the Great Tang."
Li Shimin's heart suddenly became anxious.
Originally, the relationship between the Great Sui and the Great Tang was one of life and death.
Now the Great Sui possessed two supreme treasures, while his Great Tang had none.
If Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Meiniang were to carry these treasures and wage war against the Great Tang, it would be truly unfavorable for the Great Tang.
It could be said that the Great Tang, without a divine weapon to protect it, didn't even have the ability to rival them!
Moreover, Li Shimin himself had ascended the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident; now the Great Sui had two treasures and its national fortune had greatly increased, while their Great Tang had none.
This might make the common people believe that the reason the Great Tang did not receive the favor of Heaven was because he, Li Shimin, had ascended the throne through despicable means!
If things continued to develop this way, it would be very unfavorable for his rule.
"Yuan Shi, is there any way to solve this?!"
Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang very urgently; he was afraid that the situation would continue to develop like this.
He was even more afraid of losing the hearts of the Great Tang people because of these various matters!
Ascending the throne through the Xuanwu Gate Incident was a thorn in Li Shimin's heart; now, seeing the Great Sui receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao, Li Shimin would think of his own illegitimate rise, and he felt guilty; he was afraid of losing everything he currently possessed, so he could no longer control the fear in his heart.
