Bai Lianhua felt that although he had just returned to this world, he had already lost confidence in the villain.
In the uneasy silence, Bai Lianhua avoided Meng Yanbai's eyes and said softly, "Let me down first."
The current posture is really too awkward, and he feels uncomfortable all over.
Meng Yanbai raised her eyebrows: "Finally are you willing to speak?"
There was an obvious smile in his tone: "But you obviously fell into Gu's arms on your own initiative, how can you let Gu let go?"
Bai Lianhua was depressed: "..." Time is really a butcher's knife. It not only endows the villain with a black air, but also endows him with sharp teeth and unreasonableness.
Seeing Bai Lianhua's expression of wanting to refute but being speechless, Meng Yanbai was in a good mood: "Forget it, I won't make you angry."
Meng Yanbai let go, but when Bai Lianhua was about to stand up and leave, he held him down again, motioning him to sit on the dragon chair with him.
"You can sit on this chair too."
Bai Lianhua: "..." No, thank you, I don't want to.
I just want to stay away from you, and I'm not afraid to sit on this chair... To be reasonable, it's only about practicality. In my heart, this chair is not as comfortable as the sofa I used to use for Ge Youtan. You don't have to be afraid that I have a psychological burden.
But Meng Yanbai insisted that he should sit beside her. So although he got rid of Meng Yanbai's arms, Bai Lianhua was still very close to Meng Yanbai, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Gu is very happy to see you again. This is the first time in more than ten years that Gu is so happy. Even being enthroned can't be compared with it."
"I can look at you alone, but I don't seem to be happy at all... You don't want to see Gu?"
—Of course there is no joy, because some are just frightened.
But Bai Lianhua couldn't tell the truth like this, and could only lower her eyes: "It's just that I don't get used to it, it feels...too strange."
Meng Yanbai reacted: "Is it because of the self-proclaimed 'solitary'?"
On this issue, Meng Yanbai was surprisingly easy-going: "In front of you, I don't need it, but I have overlooked this point."
Bai Lianhua shook his head: "I don't deny that there are some reasons for this, but it's not all... Your current temperament is really different from the one I remember."
Anyway, under his influence back then, he didn't dare to say how cheerful Meng Yanbai's character was, but at least it was not so volatile.
This looks like a good seedling of a tyrant. If Meng Yanbai was in this state at the beginning, how could his white lotus mission be judged to be a success, it would definitely only be a failure.
Meng Yanbai's expression changed: "Why, even you think I'm moody, gloomy and scary now?"
Bai Lianhua actually wanted to nod vigorously, but for the sake of his own life, he still didn't commit suicide.
Meng Yanbai was silent for a while, looking straight into Bai Lianhua's eyes: "Since you were murdered back then, the Meng Yanbai in your memory will never be found again."
"The me in your memory may be good, but for me, I only know that I was weak and incompetent at that time, far away from power, and I didn't even have the qualifications to participate in your so-called upper-level game. I can only lose you."
"I've known since then that only by holding power can you protect important people."
"Bai Lianhua, status, power and character must be equal. Back then, you were innocent and sincere, so there was nothing to criticize, but as a prince, this will only destroy yourself."
"You are deeply trapped in the silt of the imperial palace, but you still want to maintain your pure whiteness and not be contaminated by any power. In the end, you will only be uprooted carelessly and turned into a new nourishment for this silt."
Bai Lianhua: "??" So angry. You villains, you just talk about things directly, why do you always use metaphors
"You are not used to me now, but only Meng Yanbai, who made you not used to it, finally ascended to a high position. Even now I have waited for you again and got the best reward-when you appeared, I happened to be there thinking of you."
Bai Lianhua understands... Well, is the change in Meng Yanbai's relationship because of his "death"? Meng Yanbai really thought that he died because of the struggle for the throne, so he hated himself for being powerless, and became dissatisfied with the royal family, and then embarked on the path of usurping power in the original world track
—I knew that if I left lightly and quickly at the beginning, I would get the Shura field like it is today. At that time, he would not leave the mission world easily. No matter what the system said, he would not leave if he wasted time, and stayed until the villain died. how nice Save yourself the hassle now.
Meng Yanbai continued: "It's really scary, isn't it? If it's not me who is sitting on the dragon chair at this moment, but another person ascends the throne, will you also fall into his arms like just now? Middle—just thinking about it, I can't bear it."
Bai Lianhua's back immediately shivered, and he shook his head decisively: "No." Just kidding, I came back to this world just because of you. If someone else wants to ascend the throne as he likes, even if he ascends the throne twelve or three times a day, I will It will definitely not appear.
Bai Lianhua tried to change the subject: "I want to know how you came to be on the throne."
Meng Yanbai laughed at himself: "How did you ascend to the throne? No, you don't have to be so euphemistic. You can ask me directly how I usurped the throne."
"Don't worry, I didn't attack your father."
It turned out that Meng Yanbai took advantage of the old emperor's death, the princes fighting for the throne, and the chaos in the court, and launched his own plan for many years in one fell swoop, and directly succeeded in changing the dynasty.
He has fought for the country for many years, he has made great military exploits and is well-known, and his soldiers are loyal, which can be said to be echoed by everyone; in addition, he is deeply trusted by the Bai family. Coupled with several years of careful planning - the right time, place and people, he took almost all of them, so there is no reason why things can't be done.
This was actually a month ago. It's just that Meng Yanbai was preparing for the enthronement ceremony for the sake of his name, and he just completed the whole process to officially proclaim himself emperor today. That's why he said it was his first day on the throne.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Lianhua asked how the members of the royal family were doing now.
—I also want to know that he is not the real sixth prince. The real sixth prince died at a young age due to his frail health, and the system made arrangements for him to condense his body to take over the identity of the sixth prince.
It can be said that he has no blood relationship with the Bai clan... But after all, he has used his royal status in this world for many years, so he still needs to be concerned.
Meng Yanbai was not surprised that Bai Lianhua would ask this question, and said bluntly: "The vast majority of people have no worries about their lives, except for your good brothers."
As a former royal family, the Bai family has a small population. After Meng Yanbai came to power, he only killed a few princes with longer sequence teeth, but he spared the rest of the Bai clan.
After all, Meng Yanbai chose the right time to strike. Although the process sounds thrilling, there is no blood flow, and there is no need to kill. In fact, the turmoil is limited... Many people have not realized what happened, so the country changed its surname Meng.
"They all persuaded me to cut the weeds to get rid of the roots, but when I thought about the blood similar to yours left on those guys, I lost the interest in doing it."
"Now it seems that I did the right thing, otherwise you might hate me."
"But I killed your imperial brothers with my own hands. They took your life, so you deserve to die."
"do you mind?"
Bai Lianhua shook his head in a daze. The character set for him by the system is a white lotus, not a virgin... Those older princes really wanted to harm him. Because of his special status as the son of a noble concubine, they were even willing to put aside their quarrel and united front to deal with him as a powerful potential opponent first.
That is to say, he carried the system with him and just wanted to leave this world, so he took the opportunity to fake his death. Otherwise, if he was really just a weak prince without special abilities, he would have turned into a handful of loess. It's not the first time they've done this kind of thing, their hands have already been stained with brother's blood - but before that, a prince with a high voice died suddenly, who would believe that there was no tampering behind it
Seeing this, Meng Yanbai smiled: "That's good. As for the others... If you can stay by my side without leaving, I will naturally support them for the rest of their lives."
Bai Lianhua: "???"
This is a threat
But... well, even if it was a threat, even if he saw it, so what
As a qualified white lotus, even if he is unwilling at this time, he must not refuse directly.
Bai Lianhua didn't say a word in the end, but showed a slightly tired expression.
Meng Yanbai noticed this.
"It's getting late, I'm afraid it's too late to arrange someone to clean up your quarters, so you can follow me to my bedroom first, we can talk at night by candlelight."
Bai Lianhua is very generous.
No no no, why not in time? Don't underestimate the hands-on ability of the maids and eunuchs. And, I don't believe it, all the palaces are not clean enough to live in immediately? Is this a fake palace
Meng Yanbai didn't care about Bai Lianhua's refusal: "What are these scruples? I have had them before."
Yes, there were some in the past, but what an upright boy you were in the past, how is it like now.
Now that I talk with you at night by candlelight, I'm afraid I'll lose my innocence, okay
