Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2962

Chapter 1475 Empress Dowager

Zuan’s heart skipped a beat: “Oh, how can I help?”

In this world where aristocratic families stood side by side, it was impossible for the legitimate daughters of various families to marry the same person at the same time.

“Have you forgotten what kind of god I am?” The Goddess of Pleasure and Desire smiled ambiguously. “I’ll find an opportunity to summon them to the palace, and then bestow upon them a wisp of the aura of pleasure. Then you can do whatever you want with them, right? Once these aristocratic women become yours, they won’t be able to refuse to marry you.” “

Of course, if you don’t want to take responsibility, you can just collect the fragments of the true god’s soul from their bodies, it’s all up to you.”

Zuan: “…”

He knew very well the power of the aura of pleasure. He knew that when Yun Jianyue received a glance from him, she almost became a witch of pleasure. Even with her willpower, she almost couldn’t control herself, let alone others.

He shook his head, rejecting the alluring suggestion: “Since the goal is to collect the soul fragments of the First True Gods and cooperate with them, their willingness is paramount. Using such despicable means to obtain the fragments could easily backfire once those First True Gods awaken.”

“You call my methods despicable?” The God of Pleasure and Desire narrowed his eyes.

“That’s not what I meant,” Zaun said apologetically.

“Utterly pedantic,” the God of Pleasure and Desire scoffed. “Fine, then let’s use a slower method. You help my adopted son ascend the throne, and I’ll be the Empress Dowager, wielding immense power, while you’ll be the Regent. Those families will line up to send their daughters to me.”

Zaun secretly remarked on his strange connection with the Regent.

He couldn’t help but wonder, “You’re now a true god, the empress, and your brother is the Grand General holding military power in and around the capital. Liu Bian’s ascension to the throne is a sure thing, so why would you need my help?”

“You met the emperor before, so you should know he prefers Liu Xie, right?”

Zu An nodded. “It’s strange, really. He knows your identity, yet he still wants Liu Xie to succeed him—that doesn’t make sense.”

This wasn’t the historical Emperor Ling of Han and Empress He, but two true gods. What was the God of Order thinking?

“Because I’m a true god, he worries that after Liu Bian ascends the throne, the empire, under my control and influence, will deviate from the order he desires.” The God of Pleasure and Desire was clearly complaining, yet her voice was exceptionally alluring and captivating.

“But didn’t he consider that although Liu Xie is intelligent and more in line with his order, he simply can’t compare to Liu Bian, who has the protection of a true god?” Zu An pondered that the God of Pleasure and Desire wasn’t exactly a saint; once the remnant soul of order died, she could easily use some tricks to put Liu Bian on the throne.

For example, her aura of pleasure is enough to plunge any wise and powerful human monarch into the eternal abyss.

“Do you think Liu Xie has no protectors behind him?” The God of Pleasure and Desire scoffed.

“You mean Empress Dowager Dong?” Zu’an had already mentally reviewed this history countless times. “But how could Empress Dowager Dong possibly contend with you?”

Even if the Grand General was a relative of the Empress Dowager, he couldn’t possibly be a match for her, a true god.

Moreover, the Grand General is now on her side.

“Because Empress Dowager Dong is no ordinary person. Although she is not a true god, her strength is close to that of a true god, and she also has the Ancestor of Annihilation behind her.” The God of Pleasure and Desire put away her previous flippancy.

“The Ancestor of Annihilation?” Zu’an was startled.

“That’s right. In this world, Empress Dowager Dong is a member of Dong Zhuo’s clan, and she herself is the strongest Annihilation God Envoy. Plus, the emperor favors them. Do you think I need your help?” The God of Pleasure and Desire sighed softly.

Zu An’s expression changed. Historically, Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhuo had no connection; it seemed the involvement of various forces had altered the situation.

“The God of Order was assassinated by the Immortal Ancestor of Annihilation, yet he still chooses to cooperate with him.”

“What a true god cares about most is whether their ideals and principles can be passed down through generations; life and death are less important.” The God of Joy and Desire seemed quite understanding.

With the Immortal Ancestor of Annihilation as a common enemy, Zu An naturally agreed to support Liu Bian. The two discussed details of the situation in the capital. The God of Joy and Desire wanted to keep him a little longer, but remembering Ji Xiaoxi and Lu Zhi’s concerns, he took his leave. However, before he

could even leave the Chongde Hall and exit the palace, another eunuch arrived with a message: “Lord Liu, the Empress Dowager requests your presence.”

Zu An: “…”

He was just talking about her, and here she is!

Intrigued by this messenger of Annihilation, he decided to meet him and investigate.

Soon, led by the eunuch, he arrived at Yongle Palace.

The furnishings in Yongle Palace were much simpler than those in Chongde Hall, and there was none of that alluring fragrance.

“Liu Bei greets the Empress Dowager,” Zu An bowed. Behind the curtain sat a noblewoman, dignified and elegant, much younger than he had imagined.

Thinking of Emperor Ling of Han’s aged appearance, he couldn’t help but wonder, was this his mother?

“Indeed, a handsome and talented woman. No wonder the Emperor and Empress value her so highly,” Empress Dowager Dong, behind the beaded curtain, waved her hand, signaling the others to leave.

Zu An’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be like Chongde Hall? Although the Empress Dowager looked quite beautiful, her age still made him feel uneasy.

Like in fantasy novels, the female lead could be eight hundred, eight thousand, eight thousand years old, but never eighty…

“You seem quite afraid of me?” After the palace maids and eunuchs had left, Empress Dowager Dong looked him over with interest.

“Have I met the Empress Dowager before?” Zu An looked at the noblewoman behind the beaded curtain with suspicion.

“You’re quite bold, daring to flirt with even this Empress Dowager.” Empress Dowager Dong’s tone shifted abruptly. “Would you like to come up and take a closer look?”

Zu An didn’t hesitate, striding directly behind the beaded curtain. Looking at the noblewoman on the chair, he was momentarily puzzled.

She was indeed quite beautiful, but he had never seen her face before. He used his Eye of Truth to examine her for a long time, but still couldn’t discern anything.

“Have you looked enough?” Empress Dowager Dong asked languidly, seemingly not angry.

“So it’s you.” Zu An smiled. “After we parted last time, did you finish what you were doing?”

Empress Dowager Dong narrowed her eyes: “You couldn’t possibly know who I am. Are you trying to trick me?”

Zu An sighed: “In this world, besides the True God, there is only one person who can escape my Eye of Truth: Fireworks.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Empress Dowager Dong’s figure transformed, from a high-ranking noblewoman into a lively young girl in a red dress: “Oh, it’s been a long time! Brother Zu, you’re still as clever as ever.”
