Chapter 128: The Emperor's Teaching Was Truly Strict

e. But what if Third Prince finds out How will we explain ourselves then Third Prince, you gave Second Young Master Xin Ye this estate, but now a woman has taken over, and she's carrying his child! Wh...Why is my mouth dry

Ha ha, because the Emperor listened to that story nine times in a row. By the end, Wu Fei even started to question his own existence.

He had never interacted with an emperor before, always thinking of the Emperor as a high and mighty god. But he didn't expect a god to be so down-to-earth. He would listen to a story several times in a row! Isn't this something only ordinary children do

Finally, after explaining it nine times, Wu Fu went back, and Yun Chen also went back. As a result, after Yun Chen went back, he heard the rumors about Ye Si Jie and Chen Wang's (or Lord Dust King) descendants.

At that time, he had a bad feeling.

Before arriving at the Yan Hua Palace, Yun Chen drank a lot of water. He was afraid that this matter would be told in detail again and again, and the Emperor wouldn't allow him to drink water, so he would have to stay thirsty.

The result was quite unexpected, for the Emperor listened only once and didn't want to hear it again. Perhaps because he was too angry, a deathly silence fell upon the main hall of Yanhu Palace, except for Ye Si's occasional movements; everyone else dared not even breathe.

Yun Chen was quite miserable because he drank too much water and kept having to go to the bathroom.

He didn't dare to address the Emperor as "Your Majesty" in front of him, because it would be disrespectful and inappropriate. So he could only hold it in.

Shi Lifen's face was particularly ugly. Yun Chen's story had truly angered him. For over four hundred years, he had never been this angry before meeting Ye Wenyan. Even when the earth's spiritual power dissipated, he hadn't lost his temper.

But he kept getting angry over and over again because of Ye Wen's words at night. Shi Liyuan felt that such a life was truly suffocating!

As the esteemed Emperor of Bei Qi, he was once the sole heir to the celestial spirit… Oh no, now there are two heirs. Yet even two is a rare species. Why must he live such a wretched life

Then he discussed with Ye Wenyan, "Why don't we kill all the members of the Quan family and those from your family that you look down upon From then on, there will be peace, and no one will bother us again."

Yun Chen felt a chill run down his spine, even Shi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Only Zhuai foolishly nodded vigorously and said, "I think it's good!"

Ye Wen turned his eyes, this is really watching the fun is not afraid of big things, you think it's okay, what's okay The royal family is all killed, wouldn't that cause chaos

Then she reasoned with Shi Liyuan, "Although you are the Emperor, your existence is more suitable to be enshrined in Yanhuagong, allowing the common people to worship your paintings or statues three bows and nine kowtows. If you personally kill the Northern Qi royal family, people will think that the Emperor wants to do great things, to disrupt the world, causing panic among ordinary people."

Shi Li Yuan looked at her like she was an idiot, "Why are you panicking My esteemed self is about to make the ground tremble, they should be happy instead, because my esteemed self wouldn't do this lightly. Once I truly do it, there's only one possibility, that I have found a way to bring back the spiritual energy of the earth. Of course, there's a second possibility now, which is that my esteemed self finds the Northern Qi imperial family too much of an eyesore. But if you don't want the common people to panic, then when the time comes, my esteemed self will cast a corrective spell, making everyone believe the Quan family never existed. Wouldn't that work"

Ye Wen was stunned for a long time, even hiding his right hand in his sleeve and pinching a few seals before remembering that there was indeed such a spell. It could correct people's memories after they had done something, making them believe that something or someone had never appeared at all. Not only would they think it never happened, but also, according to the caster's intention, the person and event would be replaced with another.

She thought Shi Liyuan was a true genius, capable of inventing the Modification Technique simply because of a rumor.

What about you

"As for that," he replied earnestly, "I've even thought about simply killing all the servants and leaving just you and me."

His Highness and the other two wiped their brows together, Yunchen's need to urinate became even more urgent.

“Actually, this matter probably has little to do with the Quan family. I’m thinking it was our old madam who did it.” Ye Wenyan said, “After all, only she most hopes for me to get married and leave as soon as possible, and only she most hopes that I marry a fourth prince who has been a hostage for many years and has no roots or power in Lin'an City. That’s why she made such an effort to spread rumors, making everyone think that I have feelings for the fourth prince and that it is a done deal. Oh, our old madam is really amazing, she even knows how to save the country with curves.”

Shi Liyuan didn't pick up on that. He was still struggling with the idea of amending his cultivation technique. He asked Yun Chen, "What do you think of my plan Of course, I still need someone to attend to me, and Fourth Sister also needs a maid, so all of you can stay alive."

Yun Chen's heart was breaking. Thinking about the Almighty Emperor, this idea wasn't good at all. If you killed all the servants, what meaning would it have for us few who were still alive

He processed this idea using the art of language, then expressed it.

"He said, "Your Majesty, I think it doesn't matter if we kill all the people below us. It's just that the Fourth Sister might find it a bit boring. After all, she only faces us every day, and there's nothing new to talk about. It's too uninteresting. So Your Majesty, for the sake of the Fourth Sister's hobbies, you should still consider this matter of killing all the people below us."

Lian secretly liked Yun Chen's comment. He thought Yun Chen had grasped the emperor's weakness. No matter what, as long as he leaned on Ye Si, the emperor would surrender.

As expected, when Shi Liyuan heard Yunchen's words, he immediately felt that he had not considered things carefully. Fewer people meant fewer topics to talk about; his Yan'er must have been bored and upset.

So he settled for a compromise: "Then let us only kill the House of Lannister and the House of Stark."

Yúnchén:“…”

Lien:

...

Zhu'er: “……Imperial Lord, you actually just want to kill the Quan family and the Ye family, right Afraid that I wouldn’t agree, so you came up with this killing innocents thing, didn’t you”

Shi Li glanced at Ye Wen and nodded. "You're quite clever, girl."

Ye Wenyan was speechless. She looked at him and asked, "Shi Liyuan, with all the bad intentions you have towards me, how can you say such things Don't you know how many bad things are brewing in your own heart You kill left and right all day long, just because of a rumor outside, you want to exterminate the entire Quan family"

"Mm." He nodded, his expression particularly serious. "This deity cannot allow someone to spread rumors about you."

"Then you should go and kill the rumor mongers."

"There's some logic to that." Shi Liyuan finally gave up competing with the Northern Qi royal family, but then asked another question, "Why was that prince on the court Did he invite Ye Si Jie for tea the night of the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month"

Yun Chen thought long and hard, then offered an answer: "I heard that at the court, many ministers criticized Eldest Princess for being left behind in the suburbs of Beijing, which damaged her reputation. The Fourth Prince happened to be returning to Beijing that night and saved Eldest Princess on the way, perhaps he wanted to do a good deed to the end, so he simply helped Eldest Princess out of trouble."

"What's the situation with you brother and sister" he asked again.

This time, he has more authority to speak because he is older and knows things from over a decade ago better than young people like Yun Chen. So he volunteered: “When the Fourth Prince was still in the capital, the late emperor doted on his mother and wanted to cultivate this fourth son. He entrusted General Ye Lao to teach him tactics and military strategy. But General Ye Lao was too busy to spare the time, so he passed it on to his eldest son, which is also the father of the Fourth Sister, General Ye Da.”

Shi Lifeng pondered this for a while, then asked, "Night Fourth Sister, is it ruining your reputation to do these things with court officials What are you doing with them Even if it doesn't ruin your reputation, why don't you marry into their families They have nothing better to do than meddle in everything."

Little Ah choked and mumbled, "It's none of their business! A bunch of gossipy old women!"

"Who brought this up first" Shi Liyuan was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"I was taken aback. 'Oh, I didn't pay attention to that. I don't usually go to court, so I'm not quite sure what happened that day. How about this I'll call Wu Gonggong, the eunuch by the Emperor's side. He must remember clearly.' "

Shi Lifen nodded, "Then go quickly! Also bring Quan Qingcheng to me. I need to ask him, how could he let things get this out of control after helping him ascend to the emperor's position Why didn't he even manage to keep the prince from speaking out"

Yun Chen turned to leave, but was pulled back by Lian Shi. "Aiyo, my Lord Yun, how can you do such errands You should rest, I'll go instead."

Yun Chen really wanted to knock this old eunuch out, he finally found an opportunity to leave Yanhuadeng, what are you doing messing things up!

Then he forcefully flung Lian Shi aside, without a word, and strode out.

Ye Wen proposed a suggestion: "When you mention the Fourth Prince, can you please stop calling him 'qizi' all the time At least call him 'Fourth Prince', or even better, his name. Constantly calling him 'qizi' is disrespectful."

Shi Li Yuan glanced at her, "It's already quite good that you call him 'dizi'. At least I still remember him. If it weren't for this 'dizi' relationship, how would I even know there was a Fourth Prince in the royal family Over these few hundred years, I don't know how many Fourth Princes I've sent off. How could I possibly keep track of who's who"

"After all, she saved my life."

"So this deity has no intention of holding a grudge against him for his reckless talk in court. Otherwise, based on this fabricated lie of his, this deity could kick him back to the Moon Country with one foot. Besides, speaking of respect, do you think there's anyone down here worthy of this deity's respect"

The girl's bright, watery eyes narrowed. "Shi Lifen, you mean that even if we get married in the future, you don't intend to respect my family You don't intend to value my mother"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in Yanhuagong once again became awkward and dead silent.

All eyes turned to the Emperor, and even the gossip fire within Lian Shi and Zhu'er burned fiercely. Lian Shi especially, thought to himself countless times, "Sister Night Four is amazing! The Emperor truly is a strict teacher!"

The Emperor's cold sweat poured out, for the first time in over four hundred years he felt what it meant to dig a hole and bury himself...ua didn't let him off easily either— “You said she wasn't qualified, meaning you agree to her divorce from General Ye”“No! The Ye family would never agree to this!”The old lady also chimed in, “That’s...
