Chapter 127 The Emperor's strict upbringing
Why do you have dry mouth?
Haha, because Lord Emperor listened to that story nine times, and after hearing it, Wu Fei began to doubt his life.
He had never met the Emperor before, and always thought that the Emperor was a very high and mighty deity. But he didn't expect that the deity was so down-to-earth that he would listen to a story several times in a row. Isn't this something only children in the common people would do?
After finally finishing the story nine times, Wu Fei went back, and Yun Chen also went back. After Yun Chen went back, he heard the rumors about Miss Ye Si and His Royal Highness Prince Chen.
He had a bad feeling at that time.
Before coming to Yanhua Palace, Yun Chen drank a lot of water. He was afraid that this matter would be told over and over again. If the Emperor did not give him water to drink, he would always be thirsty.
The result was quite unexpected, and Lord Emperor didn't want to listen to it again after hearing it once. Maybe it was because he was too angry, so the Yanhua Palace was as quiet as death. Except for Miss Ye Si who occasionally made some small noises, no one else dared to breathe.
Yunchen was in a very miserable situation because he drank too much water and always had to go to the toilet.
But he didn't dare to say the word "respectful" in front of the Emperor, because it was disrespectful and impolite, so he could only hold it in.
Shi Liyuan's face was particularly ugly. Yun Chen's story really pissed him off. For more than four hundred years, he had never been so angry before he met Ye Wenyan. Even when the spiritual power of heaven and earth dissipated, he had never been angry.
But he kept getting angry over and over again because of Ye Wenyan's affairs. Shi Liyuan felt that such a life was too depressing!
He is the dignified Emperor of Northern Qi, the only inheritor of the immortal spirit in the world... Oh no, now he is the only second inheritor. But the only second is also a rare species, why should he live such a miserable life?
So he discussed with Ye Wenyan: "Why don't we kill all the Quan family members, and also kill those in your family that you don't like. From now on, the world will be peaceful, and no one will cause trouble for us anymore."
Yun Chen broke out in a cold sweat, Lian Shi's mouth twitched, and only Zhuier nodded foolishly and said, "I think it's okay!"
Ye Wenyan rolled his eyes. This guy is just looking for trouble. You think it's okay? What's the point? If the royal family is killed, won't the world be in chaos?
So she reasoned with Shi Liyuan: "Although you are the Emperor, you are only suitable to be worshipped in Yanhua Palace, and the people of the world should kowtow to your portrait or statue three times and nine times every day. If you kill the royal family of Northern Qi, people will think that the Emperor is going to do something big and bring chaos to the world, which will cause panic among ordinary people."
Shi Liyuan looked at her like a fool, "Why are you panicking? They should be happy that I want to bring peace to the world, because I will not do that easily. Once I really do that, it means there is only one possibility, that is, I have found a way to make the spiritual power of heaven and earth reappear in the world. Of course, now there is a second possibility, that is, I think the Northern Qi royal family is really an eyesore. But if you don't want the people of the world to panic, then at that time I will cast a correction spell to make everyone in the world think that the Quan family has never existed, isn't it?"
Ye Wenyan was stunned for a long time, and even hid his right hand in his sleeve and made a few hand gestures, before he remembered that there was indeed such a spell, which could correct people's memories after doing something, making people think that a certain thing or a certain person had never appeared. Not only would they think that it had never appeared, but the erased person or thing would also be replaced with another one according to the wishes of the caster.
She felt that Shi Liyuan was a talented person, as he had come up with the art of correction just because of a rumor.
"What about you?"
"As for that." He answered seriously, "I have even thought about killing everyone in the world, leaving only you and me."
The three princes wiped their sweat at the same time, and Yunchen had to pee even more urgently.
"In fact, this matter may not have much to do with the Quan family. I think it was done by the old lady in our family." Ye Wenyan said, "After all, she is the only one who wants me to get married and leave as soon as possible. She is also the only one who wants me to marry the Fourth Prince who has been a hostage for many years and has no roots and power in Lin'an City. That's why she tried hard to spread rumors, making everyone think that the Fourth Prince and I have a relationship and loyalty, and it's even a fait accompli. Alas, our old lady is really amazing, and she knows how to save the country in a roundabout way."
Shi Liyuan didn't respond. He was still struggling with the matter of the correction technique. He asked Yun Chen, "What do you think of my idea? Of course, I have to keep someone to serve me, and the fourth lady also has to have a maid, so you guys can live."
Yun Chen felt like crying and thought, "Your Majesty, this is a really bad idea. If you kill all the people in the world, then what's the point of us living?"
He processed this idea using the art of language and then expressed it.
He said: "I think killing all the people in the world is not a big deal, but the fourth lady might find it boring. After all, she only faces us every day, and there is no new topic to talk about. It's too boring. So, Lord Emperor, for the sake of the fourth lady's interests, you still have to consider killing all the people in the world."
Lian Shi secretly gave a thumbs up to Yun Chen. He felt that Yun Chen had grasped the lifeline of Lord Emperor. No matter what happened, as long as he relied on Fourth Miss Ye, Lord Emperor would surrender.
Sure enough, after hearing Yun Chen's words, Shi Liyuan immediately felt that he had not thought things through. With fewer people around, there would be fewer topics to talk about, and his little Yan'er would probably find it boring and upset.
So he settled for the next best option: "Then just kill the Quan and Ye families."
Yun Chen: “…”
Lian Shi: "..." Zhuier: "... Your Majesty, you actually just want to kill the Quan and Ye families, right? You were afraid that the young lady would not agree, so you came up with this plan to kill everyone in the world, right?"
Shi Liyuan nodded and said to Ye Wenyan: "You are a smart maid."
Ye Wenyan was so convinced that she asked him, "Master Liyuan, you said the other day that I was full of bad intentions. How could you have the nerve to say such a thing? Don't you know how much bad intentions you have? You kill people all day long, and you want to wipe out the entire Quan family just because of a rumor outside?"
"Yes." He nodded, his attitude very serious. "I can't let anyone spread rumors about you."
"Then you should go and kill the person who spread the rumor."
"That makes sense." Shi Liyuan finally gave up on competing with the Northern Qi royal family, but asked another question, "Why did the hostage say in the court that he invited Fourth Miss Ye to have tea on the night of the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month?" Yun Chen thought again and again, and gave an answer: "I heard that in the court, the ministers criticized the Fourth Miss for being abandoned in the suburbs of Beijing, and because of this, her reputation was ruined. Didn't the Fourth Prince happen to be returning to Beijing that night and rescued the Fourth Miss on the way? Maybe he wanted to be a good person to the end, so he simply rescued the Fourth Miss."
"What's the situation with my senior brothers and sisters?" he asked again.
Lian Shi had a say because he was older and knew more about what happened more than ten years ago than young people like Yun Chen. So he volunteered to say, "When the Fourth Prince was still in the capital, the late Emperor loved his biological mother and wanted to train this fourth son. So he asked General Ye to take care of him and teach him tactics. But General Ye was too busy and didn't have the time, so he handed the matter over to his eldest son, the Fourth Lady's father, General Ye."
Shi Liyuan pondered the matter for a while, and then asked: "Whether Miss Ye Si is bad or not, what does it matter to those court officials? Whether she is bad or not, she won't marry into their family. Why do they care about everything when they have nothing better to do?"
Zhuier pouted, "That's right, what does it have to do with them? A bunch of gossipy women!"
"Who brought it up first?" Shi Liyuan wanted to get to the bottom of it.
I was stunned. "Oh, I haven't paid attention to this. I don't usually attend court, so I don't know exactly what happened in the court that day. How about this, I'll go and call the eunuch Wu who is beside the emperor. He must remember it clearly."
Shi Liyuan nodded, "Then go quickly! By the way, call Quan Qingcheng to me. I want to ask him, how come you can't even suppress such a thing when you have helped him to the throne of emperor, and you still want that hostage to talk too much?"
Yun Chen turned around and was about to leave, but Lian Shi pulled him back, "Oh my Lord Yun, how can I let you do such an errand? You should take a rest, I will do it."
Yun Chen really wants to kill this old eunuch. He finally found an opportunity to walk out of Yanhua Palace, why are you making trouble?
So he threw Lian Shi away, and ran out without saying anything. Ye Wenyan made a small suggestion: "When you mention the Fourth Prince, can you not always call him "Proton Proton"? At least call him the Fourth Prince, or just call him by his name. It seems disrespectful to keep calling him "Proton Proton". "
Shi Liyuan glanced at her sideways, "Calling him Proton is good enough, at least I still remember him. If it weren't for the Proton relationship, how could I have known that there was a Fourth Prince in the royal family. Hundreds of years have passed, and I don't know how many Fourth Princes and Fourth Princes have been sent away. How can I tell who is who?"
"After all, he is my savior."
"So I didn't intend to argue with him about his nonsense in the court. Otherwise, I could kick him back to the Moon Kingdom just for his nonsense. And speaking of respect, do you think there is anyone in this world who deserves my respect?"
The little girl's big, watery eyes narrowed, "Master Liyuan, you mean that after you marry me in the future, you won't respect my relatives? You won't take my mother seriously?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in Yanhua Palace became awkward again, a deadly awkward silence.
Everyone's eyes were cast towards Lord Emperor, and the gossip fire in Lian Shi and Zhuier's body was burning even more fiercely. Especially Lian Shi, who shouted in his heart countless times, "Fourth Miss Ye is awesome, Lord Emperor's family education is really strict!"
Lord Emperor was sweating profusely. For the first time in more than 400 years, he realized what it meant to dig a hole and bury himself...
