### Chapter 72: Final Chapter: Yuluo's Misfortune part-2 - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

### Chapter 72: Final Chapter: Yuluo's Misfortune One evening, you and Xiao Huan sit quietly beside Yuluo's bedside. Her once vibrant hair has turned white, and she appears fragile and frail. Cradling her gently, you examine each of her features with great care, as if etching her image into the deepest recesses of your heart. Yuluo gazes at you, managing a weak smile. "Husband, my palace… it seems it's still not finished…" With these last words, Yuluo gradually transforms into countless points of light, dissipating into the world, leaving behind only the charred remnants of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Net. The void left by Yuluo's departure leaves you devastated. Unbeknownst to you, Yuluo had become an integral part of your life. Now her absence creates a vast emptiness within you. Two years after Yuluo's passing, the palace stands complete, a testament to your unwavering determination. You tenderly inter Yuluo’s belongings beneath the palace, upholding your vow to her. Days slip by, one after another. Gradually, however, murmurs begin to arise both within the establishment and among the common folk. Whispers of your and Empress Xiao Huan's and Aina’s lack of heirs spread. An emperor without descendants sits on a precarious throne. You ponder why fate has dealt you such a cruel blow, denying you offspring. As an emperor, the absence of an heir threatens to thrust the Great Zhou into turmoil. This looming disaster is something you fervently wish to avoid. Thus, you commence your search for folk remedies and consult esteemed physicians known for treating infertility. But to no avail. To maintain secrecy, you quietly eliminate every doctor who attends to you, and your demeanor becomes increasingly erratic and volatile. Whispers and rumors malign you, circulating among the masses. These changes significantly weaken the arcane power within you, as if it silently protests your choices. You have a dreadful intuition that persisting along this path will cause this power to abandon you forever. In response, Xiao Huan formulates a scheme—she begins seeking pregnant women, planning to adopt their children as her own. She disguises herself as pregnant, ready to claim the newborn as a regal heir. You do not oppose Xiao Huan’s craftiness. Instead, you work with her to orchestrate this elaborate ruse. You inform Aina of the plan, but she flatly refuses to take part. To her, an emperor without potency is like a solitary wolf cast out by its pack. No matter how daunting you appear, you remain harrowingly alone. Aina’s refusal leaves you directionless; it signifies that she won’t aid you in claiming the Khan’s throne. In light of this, the Xiongnu aristocracy must be eradicated. You gather men and women of skill, bestowing upon them your seal, enlisting them to eliminate the Xiongnu nobility in the three provinces previously relinquished. Bearing your seal, they fear no shamans, and their missions are executed successfully. Ultimately, chaos reigns within the Xiongnu, providing you with the opportunity to recover the three provinces. With the Xiongnu left leaderless, they are driven back to their native land within mere months. This triumph immortalizes your name in historical records, showering you with accolades. However, the massive bloodshed causes the enigmatic power within you to dissipate entirely. It's as if it had never been a part of you at all. In spite of this loss, you deem the peace reigning over the Great Zhou a fair exchange for such power. Meanwhile, Xiao Huan covertly arranges for the pregnant women to give birth in secrecy, choosing two male infants to declare as your sons, claiming they are the twins she bore. Though some harbor suspicions, the flood of congratulations drowns out any lingering doubts. The birth of these imperial sons ensures the continuation of the dynasty. Your reign appears fortified at last! Just as everything seems to promise a brighter future, Xiao Zhan unexpectedly reappears, leading a group of elite assassins straight into the palace. You meet your end! (End of Chapter)
