Chapter 237: I'll Give You Some Confidence

this time, it wasn't appropriate to marry off a daughter. Firstly, the marriage with the Sixth Prince's Mansion had been arranged long ago and was only waiting for Night Four Sister Ye Wenyan to turn...The late emperor thought that his third son had the mind for strategy, a strategy not for his own power but for the entire kingdom of Northern Qi. 。Shi Liyuan once again extended his hand, gently waving it, scattering the Lian'an chessboard before him. In its place appeared another painting. 。The picture depicts mountains, water, a city, and a village. 。Many red dots flickered on the painting, connected one after another, covering every prefecture and county. 。She could clearly see that more than 70% of the mountains in the painting were shrouded in red light, faintly revealing a "permit" character. 。Shi Liyuan pointed at the painting: "The third prince started doing these things from the age of eight, step by step, how could he not have entered the former emperor's eyes And you must know, besides him, your second brother may not really have anything to do with it. Even if there is something, his Prince Ren's Mansion has never lacked women." 。He has been preparing for the ascension to the throne, never relaxing for a moment. 。So, you see, compared to these things, what those two of them did is nothing. Their affairs couldn't possibly influence his succession to the throne at all.

He waved his hand again, and the painting dissipated, "After all, this time in Bei Qi, the handover from old to new was full of twists and turns..." 。The previous emperor favored his third son, but he also feared the combined power of the Li and Ye families. 。Sanzizi's ambition may be great, but he is only skilled at deployment and cannot interfere with military power. 。If you had not appeared, the throne would have been passed down to the legitimate heir, and I would not have bothered with these matters at all. 。Still the same words, even if the throne of Northern Qi were to be given to a different family, it would have nothing to do with me. 。Because whether it's the Quan family or the Zhang and Li families, they all have to offer tribute to the Yanhuagong and listen to my orders. 。He paused here for a moment, then after a long while, he said: “Get up. Your second brother has absolutely no effect on the third son of the Quan family.” 。At least because of his existence, the Third Prince had never thought about attacking the Ye family, nor had he ever considered vying for military power. 。He even watched as the former emperor bestowed marriage upon his fourth sister and the sixth prince on their wedding night, yet he did nothing in response. 。"Just swallowed that breath" "Yeah, swallowed it." 。"So my second brother isn't feeling wronged…" 。She smiled and, like an insect, circled her body in his arms. They faced each other. 。"Shi Liyuan, I think this is the first time I've heard you talk so much at once." 。He thought to himself, "Yes, it's been hundreds of years since I've spoken this much. " 。And one more thing, your appearance disrupted the original order that things should have had. 。So you're involved in this too, because you already have been. 。“Then why don't you correct this order again Why not designate the Third Prince as heir back then”He pondered for a moment, “Back then I didn’t think that much, just wanted to give you a great achievement, let the new emperor owe you one, so that your life in the future would be a little easier.” 。"Just because of me" "Yeah, just because of you " 。" We absolutely can't let Third Highness know about this, or he'll go crazy. " 。"Okay, then let's just not tell him, we know ourselves." 。"In that case, it seems like Quan Qingcheng got a great deal." 。"

He shook his head, "It's not exactly cheap. Besides being able to speak, there aren't many perks to being emperor." 。If you hope that Quan Qingcheng can always remain as pure and sincere as she is now, I tell you, it's impossible. 。She chuckled, "Indeed, how can people not change For thousands of years, who has truly been an emperor" 。If he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't even know how he died. I want to protect him, but it would be more tiring for me. 。Then, it's still fine to change! Adapt to his status and destiny, that's the right way to go. 。He expressed his agreement, “People have their own destinies, and these things sound like coincidences. They are what the deity intended.” 。As you said, everything is actually predetermined. 。What is destined to happen will happen, no matter how hard you try to avoid it, even if you are mute. 。Even if the legitimate son were to give up his position, it would have nothing to do with him, as he was never destined for this. 。By the way, your fifth younger sister gave Quán Qīngchéng an idea, asking him to blame all the losses from this earth dragon's uprising on Guī Yuè Country. This deity thinks it's a good idea. 。" "Even better" she laughed, "Are you still holding a grudge against that envoy The man is dead, what's there to remember" 。"Even in death, remember " 。“He has to be very serious. "Some things must be paid for in order to remember the lesson, so I think it’s a good idea that Quan Qingcheng wants silver from Gu Yueguo," 。Even if I send emissaries out, I can perform protective rituals to ensure their safe journey back to the Moon and help them safely return with the silver. 。She understood, "You're going up against the Return Moon Nation now." 。"Who gave them the idea to mess with my fiancée" 。“She laughed and leaned into his arms, “So the Emperor is so petty after all.” 。He held the girl, "When it comes to you, there is absolutely no room for compromise." 。"Actually, you're quite hypocritical." 。The girl pulled at his hair. 。But he didn't understand, "Why is this so" She argued with him, "Look, you always say you don't care about royal affairs or worldly matters. Even if the mountains and rivers change hands, it has nothing to do with you..." 。But think about what you just said. You know all those royal affairs so well, this isn't ignoring them, it's clearly having everything under control. 。" No, no, my esteemed self did not actively go to investigate those matters. It's just that I have been rather idle in my daily routine, and sometimes even Shi He and Yun Chen would come before me to tell stories." 。

I went over everything, inside and out.

At first, I just treated it as a story. But perhaps because of the strong sense of immersion, sometimes I would follow the story and try to figure out the truth, even drawing a map of Patriarch Quan Lao Shan's property empire. 。In a nutshell, it's just boring. I'm so idle I don't know what to do. 。But I guess it won't happen again. It's better to just go see you when I'm free than to stay at Yanhuagong and study Quan Jiaqiang. 。He pulled the girl closer to his chest and covered her with his wide sleeves, just like holding a pet. 。Ye Wen smiled, "Why do you feel like I'm going to run away You don't have to hold on so tight." 。"He said, “It wasn't that I thought you were going to run away, it's just that I wanted to give you more confidence. I want you to know that even if things are bad, I still like you and won't give up on you.” 。A-yan, if you truly are a pet, then that's fine. In that case, I can bring you wherever I go. I can hold you in my hand or tuck you in my sleeve. 。While eating, while resting, I'd rather look at it than now. 。She giggled mischievously, "I wouldn't want to be a pet. Pets aren't imposing, they look fluffy and cute—how could I scare anyone like that Those bad guys shouldn't be afraid of me!" 。But that was actually just to get a reaction from you, I wanted you to let me in. But then I believed it myself, and now I'm a little scared. 。She burrowed into his arms, “Shi Li Yuan, if there really is such a day, you must find someone much better than me, otherwise I won't be happy.” 。He was truly helpless, "If you don't have that, then just give up!" At the inner city of Lin'an, Fei Zhou flew out at night to visit King Su's courtyard. 。At that moment, Liujia was seen carrying a blood-stained whip out of Ye Hongzhuang's room. 。This route was told to him by Iceland, with a sudden pounce and embrace, a simple map of the terrain was handed into his hand. 。That was the mark of her night-blooming makeup, indicating her current location in the annex. 。The blood-stained whip dragged a bloody trail on the ground. Ye Fei Zhou hid in the darkness and looked down, faintly hearing someone crying inside the house. It was Ye Hong Zhuang's voice. 。Soon another man in black walked out of the house, dragging a person behind him like the sixth prince dragging his whip, leaving long bloody streaks. 。The man was dead, lying face down. He couldn't see his face, but he could recognize the clothes he was wearing. 。That was Binglan who went to Bai's General Mansion to report the news for him. Binglan, who was still vibrant during the day, became a corpse at night. 。Ye Fei Zhou couldn't understand why this Su Wang courtyard had become like this, why Bing Lan had died, and why Ye Hong Zhuang was crying. 。There are also six guards with bloodstained whips in their hands. Were they used to beat Binglan or Ye Hongzhuang The courtyard has many dark guards protecting it. Besides the one who took away the body, there are four others. 。But Ye Fei Zhou didn't care about this. The reason he was immediately discovered by the dark guards when he went to Ren Wang Fu earlier was because he never intended to hide himself in the first place. 。He's been going to the Prince Rong's Mansion since he arrived, and no one in the Prince Rong's Mansion would harm him. Otherwise, with his skill as a master, if he were to fully display his abilities, even the elite guards of the Prince Rong's Mansion wouldn't be able to detect his presence. 。Just like in this secluded Duke Ding's manor, with countless guards and assassins, he entered without much difficulty. While not as effortless as walking on flat ground, he only used 60% of his ability and managed to bypass all eyes and ears. 。Finally entered the room of Ye Hongzhuang's, only to be greeted by a wave of blood. On the ground, there was a large pool of blood, glaring in the dim light, and no servants had come to clean it up. 。 。He was taken aback by the sight, and immediately walked forward, crouching down to ask in a concerned voice, "What happened" Seeing the welts on Ye Hongzhuang's body, he knew that the whip just now must have been inflicted upon her by the Sixth Prince. 。Ye Fei Zhou really couldn't understand, “Didn’t he treat you well Why would it be like this What happened to your maid”

Ye Hong Zhuang only then came back to her senses, looked up at Ye Fei Zhou who was right in front of her, and couldn't help herself at that moment. She rushed forward and hugged Ye Fei Zhou tightly.

She wanted to cry out loud, but she didn't dare because there were guards outside watching her. If she cried out wrong, those guards would immediately barge in. 。But she couldn't stop crying, her tears flowing uncontrollably, her whole body trembling. 。Ye Fei Zhou was also frightened by this, in his impression, this younger sister had always been very proud and strong since childhood. Even if she was wronged, she would try her best to get revenge, it was impossible for her to hide in the room and cry like this. 。Unless she's putting on an act of fragility to garner sympathy, Ye Hongzhuang would never shed a tear. 。However now… "What on earth happened" back and keep her company." 。"Night Qingmei left after finishing her words. Mu sighed and said to her, "Your elder sister is afraid that Lian Mian will come again to make trouble for you. This is jus...
