Taekook: Reincarnation Of The Deadly Sovereign
The Empress (1)
In the early summer, when evening arrived, torrential rain would always arrive suddenly.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and dark clouds were pressing down on the dignified and imposing Palace walls. The originally magnificent Palace was shrouded in dark clouds, like a huge cage, trapping the people inside.
In the spacious sleeping chamber, the curtains seemed to be very old and were covered with a thick layer of dust. It was originally a hot day, but it actually felt a little cold. The floor was scattered with clothes and accessories, as if a disaster just happened.
The man got down one of his knees on the ground and looked up at the person in front of him.
This man was only 30 years old, but his face was as old as an old man's. His eyes were deep and vicious, like a pool of stagnant water. He looked like a dried well that had been left behind for a long time. Tears could not flow out of his eyes, but they carried a bottomless hatred.
Eunuch Chen
Your Highness, please.
The eunuch beside him held a white silk cloth in his hands, his tone impatient.
Eunuch Chen
I still have to report to His Majesty.
Kim Taehyung's gaze landed on the eunuch. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke with a hoarse voice.
Kim Taehyung
Little Li, when I first promoted you, you were still a dog by Eunuch Gao's side.
The eunuch raised his head slightly.
Eunuch Chen
Your Highness, times are different now.
Kim Taehyung
Times are different now...
Taehyung muttered, suddenly raising his head and laughing.
Kim Taehyung
Times are indeed different now!
Just because times were indeed different now, those servants and officials who had treated him with respect in the past could now shout at him. Because times were indeed different now, he would be beheaded.
When did it all start? From when Concubine Suzy entered the palace, or from when the Crown Prince was disqualified, or from when the eldest Princess died? Or from when he was held hostage in the State of Qin for five years before returning to the palace?
A word from Fu Chanyeol could determine whether it was a good time or a bad time. It could turn everyone in the Imperial Court to turn against Kim Taehyung and make him step down as empress.
The door opened with a creak, and a pair of green boots with dragon patterns on them stopped in front of Kim Taehyung. Looking up, it was a bright yellow robe.
Fu Chanyeol
Since you have been with me for twenty years, I will grant you an intact corpse.
Kim Taehyung slowly raised his head and looked at the mighty man. Time did not leave any marks on his face, just like how handsome he was back then. He was the ruler of the world, the rightful son of Heaven, the man he had been infatuated with for twenty years, the husband who had held him through thick and thin. Now he said to him...
"I will grant you an intact corpse."
Kim Taehyung asked with difficulty.
Kim Taehyung
Why do you want to exterminate the entire Kim family?
The late Emperor had nine sons. Each of the nine sons had their own merits. When the Crown Prince was ill, the late Emperor refused to appoint a new Crown Prince, so the Princes fought for the Throne. Kim Taehyung admired Fu Chanyeol's unparalleled look and insisted on marrying him.
It was precisely because of this that he did his best to assist the Crown Prince. From a pampered boy who knew nothing to the Princess Consort who would also participate in the matters of the royal court, he came up with strategies to help the Crown Prince ascend the Throne successfully. On the day Fu Chanyeol ascended the throne, he was appointed as the Empress, a motherly figure of the world.
He thought that he was the most glorious Empress. After the Crown Prince ascended the Throne, Ming Qi was faced with threats coming from the Xiunu, and the neighbouring countries were waiting to take over Ming Qi. In order to borrow troops, Kim Taehyung voluntarily went to the State of Qin to be a hostage. When he left, his daughter and son were still young.
Fu Chanyeol even said to him...
Fu Chanyeol
I will definitely bring you back.
Five years later, he finally returned to Ming Qi, but his place had long been taken by a new concubine called Suzy.

The Empress (2)
Concubine Suzy was the daughter of a minister that Fu Chanyeol met during the Eastern campaign. He liked her and brought her back to the palace. Concubine Suzy gave birth to a prince, Fu Sheng, who was deeply favored by the Emperor. On the other hand, Kim Taehyung's son, The Crown Prince, Fu Ming, was not favored by the Emperor.
Fu Chanyeol once said in front of the entire court...
Fu Chanyeol
Fu Ming is too gentle, Fu Sheng is more like me.
Concubine Suzy made Kim Taehyung feel a sense of crisis. In the palace, Kim Taehyung and Concubine Suzy fought for ten years. Concubine Suzy had the upper hand time and time again. She even urged Fu Chanyeol to marry his daughter, Princess Wanyu, to the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu people were aggressive and ruthless. Princess Wanyu died of illness during the marriage and was immediately cremated. Everyone knew that there was something fishy about this, but as a mother there was nothing Kim Taehyung could do.
Fu Chanyeol issued an Imperial edict saying that the Kim family was unloyal to the Emperor and rebelled, The Crown Prince was disqualified and the Empress would have to hang himself to death.
All he wanted to ask was "Why?"
Kim Taehyung
Fu Chanyeol, don't you have a conscience? We have been husband and wife for more than twenty years. I don't think I have done anything wrong to you. When you ascended the Throne, it was my family who helped you. When you went to the war and the Xiongnu attacked, I wrote a petition for you. I knelt down and begged the ministers to help you. I went to the neighbouring country to be a hostage. What did you repay me with?
Kim Taehyung
When Concubine Suzy wanted Wanyu to marry the Xiongnu, you agreed. Wanyu died when she was only sixteen. Everyone in the court knows that you dote on Fu Sheng and his wife. Now that you have slaughtered my entire family and are about to kill me, Let me ask you, why?
Fu Chanyeol frowned. His expression did not change at all, as if he was a cold statue.
Fu Chanyeol
When father was alive, we discussed how to deal with the few large families. The Kim family's merit is too high to stay for long. I was the one who persuaded father to keep your family alive. You should thank me for allowing your family to stay alive for twenty more years.
Kim Taehyung's body shook. He had been crying too much these days, and his tears could no longer flow. He looked at Fu Chanyeol and said word by word...
Kim Taehyung
Why did you want to keep the Kim family alive? It's not that you are benevolent, nor is it your gift. You just wanted to use Kim family's military power to help you ascend. Now that the country is yours, you're burning the bridges after crossing it. Fu Chanyeol, you are so heartless!
He shouted angrily, as if his sore spot had been poked.
Fu Chanyeol
Don't challenge me!
Kim Taehyung lay on the ground and clenched his fists. This was the man he had loved for his entire life. In the palace, he was competing with Concubine Suzy for his favour. In the end, He realized that his heart had never been with him. Those sweet words he said to him were just a joke!
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother, what's wrong? You look terrible."
The woman was wearing a light yellow shirt. She had a lotus face and a willowy waist. She looked like a fairy, and her posture was beautiful.
This was Concubine Suzy, who had fought with Kim Taehyung his entire life and was confident in winning.
There were two women dressed in Palace clothes standing behind Concubine Suzy. Kim Taehyung was stunned.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Irene, Kim Yuna!
They were the daughters of his second and third uncles. Why were his two cousins in the palace?
Kim Irene
His Majesty summoned us to the Palace.
Kim Irene covered her mouth and smiled.
Kim Irene
Fifth brother, don't be surprised. In the past few years, Fifth brother wanted to help us find a good match. Now, there is no need. His Majesty treats us very well.
Kim Taehyung's heart was in turmoil. In a flash, he seemed to have understood something that he had never thought before.
Kim Taehyung
Y-You didn't marry because you have been waiting for this day?
Kim Yuna took a step forward.
Kim Yuna
Back then, His Majesty, my father and third uncle made an alliance. As long as we could persuade you to marry His Majesty, one day, we would marry him too.
Before Kim Taehyung married Fu Chanyeol, the second and third families did a lot of persuasion. Now that he thought about it, when he fell in love with Fu Chanyeol, it seemed that it was also because second aunt and third aunt kept mentioning Fu Chanyeol to him, so he had a good impression of him. It turned out that they had reached an agreement early on. It turned out that the second and third families had been waiting for today to happen.
As if afraid that Kim Taehyung would not understand, Kim Yuna continued...
Kim Yuna
His Majesty is handsome and charming. My sister and I have loved him for a long time, but your father was the most powerful in the family back then. We had no choice but to let fifth brother marry His Majesty first. Fifth brother has enjoyed a lot of good times in the palace over the years. It's about time for us to enjoy it.
Kim Taehyung suddenly stood up and said loudly.
Kim Taehyung
His Majesty exterminated the Kim family. How can the second and third families be safe?
Kim Irene
Of course the second and third families will be fine.
Kim Irene
Because we helped him. The evidence of First Uncle's rebellion was forged by our two families. Fifth brother, His Majesty even wants to promote our fathers.
Kim Taehyung looked at his two cousins in shock and said...
Kim Taehyung
Are you crazy? We are a family. How could you frame your own family....
Kim Yuna
Fifth brother. We have never regarded you as our family.
Kim Yuna
Besides, you have enjoyed the good life for too long. Now that the Crown prince is dead and The Princess is gone, the Kim family is gone. You'd better go to hell and reunite with them.
Concubine Suzy stepped forward and said with a smile.
Concubine Suzy
Brother, it's time for you to leave.
After fighting for ten years, Kim Taehyung lost terribly. He lost so badly that his family was wiped out. He lost so badly that he became a joke!
Kim Taehyung
The moment I'm alive, you will still be concubines!
Concubine Suzy
Eunuch Chen, do it.
Concubine Suzy gave the eunuch a look.
The plump eunuch immediately took few steps forward and grabbed Kim Taehyung's neck tightly with one hand while wrapping the white silk around his neck with the other. He tugged hard to make sure it was tightly fastened.
The man who was struggling on the ground widened his eyes and swore to himself.
His son, daughter, parents, brothers, sisters, servants, and everyone in the Kim family had been harmed.
Fu Chanyeol, Concubine Suzy, Kim Irene, Kim Yuna, everyone who had harmed him and his family. If there was a next life, they would pay with their blood!
Kim Taehyung
"I will make you all die!"
Rebirth (1)
In the large mansion, there were bluestone slabs, Vermillion pillars, and carved railings with complicated Crabapple patterns. It had just rained overnight, and raindrops rolled off the banana leaves and fell into the soil.
The purple-gold incense burner on the table was made into the shape of an exquisite little beast. The fragrance emitted the smell of water and wood, especially refreshing in the early autumn.
On the four corners of the bed there were sachets with tassels hanging on them. On the soft bed, two tall maids were carefully fanning the person on the bed.
Gu Yu (Tae's Maid)
It'll be terrible if he has a fever. He's been sleeping for a day and night. The doctor said that he should wake up very soon. Why is there no movement?
The maid, Gu Yu, could not hide her anxiety.
Jingzhe (Tae's Maid)
Gu Yu, it's been an hour. Why isn't the doctor here yet?
Gu Yu (Tae's Maid)
Second madam is very strict. This is considered a scandal, so they are all keeping it a secret.
Gu Yu glanced at the person on the bed.
Gu Yu (Tae's Maid)
Madame and Master are not in the capital, and eldest Young Master is not around either. Old Madame is biased towards the east Courtyard. Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang have gone to look for the doctor and haven't returned yet. Are they being stopped? They are killing Master! No, I have to go out and take a look.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a weak voice from the person on the bed.
Jingzhe (Tae's Maid)
Master, you are awake!
Jingzhe shouted in surprise and quickly ran to the bed. She saw the boy on the bed rubbing his forehead and slowly sitting up.
Jingzhe (Tae's Maid)
I'm here.
Jingzhe smiled and held Kim Taehyung's hand.
Jingzhe (Tae's Maid)
Master, do you feel better? You slept for a day and a night. Seeing that after the fever is gone, you still haven't woken up, I was thinking of going to find a doctor again.
Gu Yu (Tae's Maid)
Master, do you want some water?
Gu Yu handed him a cup of tea.
Kim Taehyung looked at the two people in front of him in confusion.
He had four first-grade maids called Jingzhe, Gu Yu, Bai Lu, Shuang Jiang respectively. They were all smart and sensitive girls. Unfortunately, in the end, none of them survived.
When he was a hostage of the State of Qin, in order to protect him from being humiliated by the Crown Prince of the State of Qin, Gu Yu died at the hands of the Crown Prince of the State of Qin. Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang, one died on the way with Wanyu, and the other died in the hands of Concubine Suzy.
As for Jingzhe, she was the most beautiful. Back then, in order to help Fu Chanyeol ascend the Throne, she used her beauty to seducé a powerful official to get him to help Fu Chanyeol. In the end, she was killed by the wife of the powerful official.
After knowing that Jingzhe was dead, Kim Taehyung cried for a night.
Now that Jingzhe was standing in front of him, her eyebrows were still as beautiful as a painting, Kim Taehyung was stunned.
After a moment, he smiled and closed his eyes.
Kim Taehyung
This hallucination before death is too real.
Gu Yu (Tae's Maid)
Master, what are you talking about?
Gu Yu put the teacup aside and reached out to touch Kim Taehyung's forehead.
Gu Yu (Tae's Maid)
Is the fever affecting your brain?
The hand on his forehead was cold and comfortable. Kim Taehyung suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze was sharp. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his hand.
It was a pair of fair and slender hands. The nails were trimmed neatly, and they were round and cute. One look and one could tell that they were the hands of a pampered rich omega.
His hands were rough from handling Court affairs with Fu Chanyeol. In the State of Qin, he was ordered around like a servant. His hands were covered in calluses, and his joints were swollen and thin. He did not look like a delicate boy at all.
Kim Taehyung
Bring me a mirror.
Kim Taehyung said. His voice was still weak, but his tone was firm.
