The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto's gaze was sharp and full of dominance. His imposing manner was oppressive as he looked at the current emperor of the Great Ming before him.

"I originally thought that even if the current Ming emperor was lacking, he wouldn't be afraid to face me. But I didn't expect the current Ming emperor to be such a hopeless case."

"You don't even dare to see me; you sent a substitute instead."

Upon hearing Hakuto's words, the newcomer's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat.

"What makes you think I'm a substitute?"

Hakuto couldn't be bothered to answer the question. He turned around and continued, "Get lost. Let the real Zhu Xianhe come. If he isn't willing to come within a quarter of an hour, then I'll go find him myself. But by then..."

This substitute was caught in a dilemma. Just as Hakuto had said, he was only a substitute. He couldn't make a decision on a matter like this.

Fortunately, through the communicator left on this substitute, Zhu Xianhe made a decision to let the substitute leave and then go see Hakuto himself.

After another ten minutes or so, Hakuto saw the true emperor of the Great Ming Empire, Zhu Xianhe.

"What do you want?"

Facing Hakuto, this Ming emperor was also filled with tension. What did he want by coming to see him? The events of two years ago still surfaced repeatedly in this Ming emperor's mind.

"You really are... pathetic."

Hearing this description, Zhu Xianhe couldn't help but twitch his cheek, but then forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"You are pathetic. I'm cursing you to your face, and you don't even dare to react. It seems the bloodline courage of the Zhu Family has long been lost by your generation."

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Xianhe forced himself not to respond to Hakuto's words.

Hakuto looked at the current emperor with some disappointment, then shook his head and said faintly, "Never mind. It doesn't have much to do with me now. The reason I came this time is just to know who exactly instructed Liu San to go after my mother back then, and what was their purpose."

Zhu Xianhe's pupils contracted. He immediately denied it, "I don't know what you're talking about. What happened back then was solely Liu San's doing."

"Don't lie to me."

Hakuto glanced faintly at this current Ming emperor, his eyes full of disappointment.

"Tell the truth about what happened back then."

Zhu Xianhe naturally didn't want to admit it, but faced with Hakuto's piercing gaze, he felt his very soul tremble.

"Speak."

At this moment, Zhu Xianhe felt as if he were facing a giant. He was like an ant before this giant. If he dared to defy the giant's command, he would be crushed to pieces in the next instant.

"I'll speak."

After finishing, Zhu Xianhe felt the pressure on him loosen. Then his legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees before Hakuto.

Then Zhu Xianhe recounted what had happened back then.

After hearing it, Hakuto only found it amusing. The cause of the matter was quite simple.

The princess who had fled back then was the mother of Hakuto's mother. When she left, she had taken the Jade Dragon Pot that was stored in the palace.

Originally, her fleeing from the arranged marriage could have been overlooked by the imperial family. But who knew she would take the Jade Dragon Pot?

Because of this, many people searched for it.

But by the time they found her, she had already passed away, leaving only Hakuto's mother.

However, Hakuto's mother had no idea where the Jade Dragon Pot was.

But others didn't believe her. And so, the appearance of Homura and the birth of Hakuto came about.

"Heh."

Hakuto felt some anger in his heart. It was because of these people's suspicions that her whole life had been miserable.

Looking at Zhu Xianhe before him, Hakuto's gaze was indifferent and devoid of any emotion.

"I want you to do one thing. Bring everyone involved back then to me."

Zhu Xianhe immediately understood what Hakuto wanted to do. He directly denied it, "Impossible. This is absolutely impossible..."

"I'm not discussing this with you. Understand?"

With a single look from Hakuto, Zhu Xianhe fell to the ground, trembling all over like a sieve.

Zhu Xianhe felt anger, frustration, and more than anything, disbelief.

"I'm giving you half a day. If I haven't seen the people after half a day, then I'll take matters into my own hands. And then, I won't just punish the ringleaders."

Zhu Xianhe trembled all over, but still didn't agree. Because he knew very well what would happen if he agreed.

How many people had been involved in this matter back then? It could be said that most of them were now retired. And before they retired, these people had all been at the level of grand secretaries of the cabinet. The consequences of cleaning them up...

Even Zhu Xianhe, the emperor of the Great Ming, did not dare to help Hakuto call those people over.

If something happened to those people because of Zhu Xianhe, then even the Ming imperial family, even he as the emperor, could not bear the consequences.

"Since you are unwilling, then I'll do it myself. But then, no one knows how many will die. Originally, I wanted to kill fewer people. Unfortunately, you didn't cherish this opportunity."

Originally, Hakuto had thought of punishing only the ringleaders and not pursuing the others. But now...

However, the next moment, a person walked in from outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple. "Old man, I'd like to see which reckless fool is spouting nonsense in the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

Then Hakuto looked at the person walking in, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"I didn't expect you, old fellow, to still be alive."

Seeing the newcomer, Hakuto was somewhat surprised and also somewhat delighted.

The man walked in, looked at Zhu Xianhe sprawled on the ground, and a flash of dissatisfaction and disgust passed through his eyes. "How shameful for Emperor Shengzong."

Hearing this, Zhu Xianhe showed an ashamed expression. Then the newcomer looked at Hakuto and said, "You..."

Suddenly, the man's expression froze, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

"Long time no see, Hongyuan."

The man's knees went weak, and he fell to his knees directly.
