How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 653: He Wants Her to Become the Most Noble Woman
He could feel the people surrounding him, shouting "Emperor" loudly, but the woman in the distance showed no emotion apart from shock.
Perhaps, in this lifetime, there’s no destiny between us.
But in the next life, I might not encounter Pei Shu’er either...
Thinking about this, he surprisingly felt relieved, but then a deep sorrow surged in his heart.
Pei Shu’er held Tang Zan’s hand; her hand was trembling slightly.
"Why did you kill him?"
Tang Zan’s gaze at Pei Shu’er was somewhat profound.
"What? Do you feel reluctant?"
Pei Shu’er shook her head: "How could I bear to be reluctant?"
Tang Zan’s expression improved a bit, his eyes still fixed on Pei Shu’er.
"Then why is it?"
Pei Shu’er rolled her eyes: "You’re definitely seen as the rebel now."
Tang Zan laughed heartily: "Haven’t I always been? It doesn’t matter anymore now."
Actually, what Pei Shu’er feared was that Tang Zan was steadily moving toward his destined end.
She didn’t want Tang Zan to end up so miserably.
Yan Hengyin had fallen, and the people around him either fled or were captured.
As for Lin Shiyao, she had already slipped away when Yan Hengyin was shot.
She had a sharper sense of danger than anyone else.
Pei Shu’er said: "Today’s events must be well concealed, not leaked."
Fortunately, Tang Zan was now mighty, and dealing with Yan Hengyin was troublesome, but not as troublesome as imagined.
Especially with Pei Yu, his father-in-law, siding with him, the situation was easier to handle.
Immediately, Tang Zan sent someone to find Pei Yu.
When Pei Yu saw the calamity Tang Zan had brought, his cheek twitched.
"You sure know how to cause trouble. This matter, I can’t handle."
Then he glanced at Pei Shu’er, and a wave of guilt surged in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Alright, I’ll help you this time."
With Pei Yu, his friends, and Tang Zan’s own people, the news of Yan Hengyin being killed by Tang Zan was soon concealed.
But while this side quenched the news, Yan Hengyin’s escaped subordinates, and those on Pei Lingling, Lin Shiyao, and Yan Huan Yu’s side, began spreading the news vigorously.
Thus, Tang Zan remained in a passive position.
However, on the day Yan Hengyin’s death was announced, a decree supposedly written by "Yan Hengyin" explicitly named Tang Zan as the Emperor.
At that moment, there was an uproar among the people, and even the palace was shocked.
But at this moment, Tang Zan controlled the Imperial Palace, and the others were powerless.
The ascending ceremony was initially planned for half a month later, but Pei Shu’er smiled and said: "If you trust me, set it for a month later."
Of course, Tang Zan trusted Pei Shu’er, so it was set for a month later.
The night before, Tang Zan held Pei Shu’er’s hand.
"Pei Shu’er, I want to hold the Empress consecration ceremony on the day I ascend, to crown you as Empress."
After saying this, Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er with hesitation in his eyes for the first time.
"But right now, making you Empress might not be a very good choice."
Pei Shu’er held Tang Zan’s hand.
"It’s alright; whether good or bad, I am willing to be with you."
Tang Zan’s eyes were not devoid of emotion; he pressed a kiss on Pei Shu’er’s lips.
"Alright, then together."
Pei Shu’er hooked her arms around Tang Zan’s neck and kissed him too.
"At this moment, how could I let you face the enemies alone? We are a couple, a unity."
There was a hint of emotion and smile in Tang Zan’s eyes. Yes, since the path of exile began, Pei Shu’er never abandoned him, whether through good or bad times, they were always together.
Now, too, they should face everything together.
He wanted to make her the most honored woman under the heavens.
After all, if he failed, even if Pei Shu’er did not become Empress, others would not spare her easily.
Moreover, if he truly failed, he already prepared a way out for her and her family.
When he ascended, the Dragon Robe he chose was embroidered by embroideresses from Pei’s Cloth Shop.
Pei Shu’er also chose Pei’s Cloth Shop.
This was a chance for Pei’s to gain fame, something Pei Shu’er wouldn’t miss.
Three nights before the ceremony, both the Dragon Robe and phoenix robe were completed; they tried them on, and the styles were extremely luxurious.
Just the golden threads and the exquisite dragon and phoenix designs were worth a fortune.
Noting where modifications were needed, they were finalized the next day when delivered.
Liu Xu waited outside for a long time. Upon seeing the two, she couldn’t help but nod.
"Indeed, my Zan’er and Shu’er are truly celestial in appearance. Probably only the most esteemed position in the world befits you."
Hearing Liu Xu’s support, the smile on Pei Shu’er’s face deepened.
Pei Shu’er smiled and said: "By then, mother will be the Empress Dowager."
Liu Xu hid her worries in her eyes and laughed along with them.
After Liu Xu left, Tang Peizhong came.
In fact, Pei Shu’er always expected he would come.
He sat down, and his cold gaze fixed on Tang Zan wearing the Dragon Robe.
"Our family has been loyal for generations, your father, your grandfather, and your great-grandfather all contributed greatly to Dayan, loyal for generations, how could you do this?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Tang Zan’s eyes remained calm: "Yes, it’s because you were all loyal, but which one ended well in their old age? When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog gets cooked. Father, don’t you understand by now?"
Tang Peizhong said: "I only know that as ministers, we should share the ruler’s worries while enjoying the ruler’s salary, not regicide and usurpation."
Tang Zan said: "Father, if I hadn’t killed Yan Hengyin then, the dead person would have been me."
Tang Peizhong said: "The ruler demands the minister die, the minister must die."
Pei Shu’er had been holding back; Tang Peizhong’s blind loyalty wasn’t a day or two old.
But hearing this, Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but speak.
"Father-in-law, the Emperor also wanted you dead before. You should know that feeling isn’t pleasant."
"More importantly, if you were dead, my mother and my cousin could pursue their feelings and be together."
Only when she said this did it seem like she hit Tang Peizhong’s sore spot, making his expression become very strange.
Finally, Tang Peizhong took a deep breath: "Enough, I can’t control you anymore, but Tang Zan, the previous Emperor didn’t leave without heirs, isn’t you ascending now just stealing the Yan Family’s throne?"
Tang Zan said: "Count back the past emperors, which founding emperor’s kingdom wasn’t seized from another emperor?"
Tang Peizhong was left speechless by Tang Zan’s words.
Tang Peizhong said dryly: "Have you thought about how many challenges and setbacks you’ll face by ascending now? Maybe in the end, you’ll be quartered by five horses."
Tang Zan nodded: "I know, Father, but I still have to do it."
As soon as these words were said, Tang Peizhong took a deep breath.
"Fine, I can’t argue with you; whatever happens in the future, don’t regret it."
After saying this, Tang Peizhong angrily flicked his sleeves and left.
