Fu Yanxi's head was completely confused. After hearing this, he opened his mouth but didn't utter a single syllable. He really had never felt this so-called undercurrent before. He just felt that everything was normal. Why did it become like this this morning
He thought about what he said yesterday and his mind was in a mess. He was really just talking casually, why... did everything come true this morning
He was at a loss, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. He just looked at Fu Yanran as if nothing had happened, as if looking for a backbone.
"The general was loyal to his master and eradicated the treacherous. I was heartbroken when I heard that my father had passed away, but the country cannot be without a leader for a day, so I ask the loyal and brave general to take over the duties temporarily to revive the government."
Fu Yanran was very calm, even a little indifferent, as if he was following an emotionless script.
In fact, he already knew all this, and he even took the initiative to find Xie Ke.
Fu Yanran was different from other princes. He climbed up from the bottom and had to be careful everywhere, fearing that he would fall back into the abyss from the height. He knew very well that although Emperor Qingyuan was interested, the chances of him becoming emperor smoothly were very small.
Not to mention the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, even if they were stopped by the Emperor one by one, they had no background at all. How would they survive
The reason why Emperor Qingyuan was able to fight back at that time was, firstly, because the aristocratic families had let down their guard, secondly, he was the only one with royal bloodline left to choose from, and thirdly, Emperor Qingyuan was indeed very powerful, and he was also lucky to have met someone like Xie Lin, who had great potential, at that time. But Fu Yanran examined himself and felt that he basically did not have all these possibilities.
He couldn't take the risk, he didn't want to take the risk of falling into the abyss again.
With this mentality, Fu Yanran's mind was sharper than anyone else's. He could see that something was wrong with Xie Ke.
But it is not so easy to rebel, just like the Xue and Lin families decades ago. Even though they had planned to kill the emperor, they still did not dare to change the dynasty. Rebellion is a crime of treason and is not justified and will be condemned by the world.
Even though the Xie family was loved by the people, Emperor Qing Yuan was not a perverse person. He was indeed capable of governing the country. Under such circumstances, a superficial rebellion would not work.
The current situation was designed long ago. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The crime of rebellion lies with the Xue and Lin families, and Emperor Qing Yuan was killed by them. The Xie family did nothing wrong.
But the country cannot be without a king for a day, and this is Fu Yanran’s bargaining chip.
Being a puppet emperor of the Xie family is better than falling into the abyss and dying without a complete body. A puppet emperor is still an emperor. At least he can let his mother and A Ye live a good life and protect the people he wants to protect.
Compared to the hunting grounds, the capital was peaceful. Until last night, a fire suddenly broke out in the Liuli Palace. The guards rushed over after hearing the news, but the fire spread and could not be controlled. It was not extinguished until this morning, and the entire Liuli Palace was burned to ruins.
It is said that Imperial Noble Concubine Yun had been lying in her bedroom due to illness and had not escaped. It is also said that Prince Zhao, out of concern for his mother, was also serving her in the bedroom. The mother and son were both burned to ashes in the fire.
But soon, this matter was no longer a big deal.
Even the emperor is dead, so what does the imperial concubine matter
The four-nation court meeting was originally a happy one, and no one expected the outcome to be like this, but things have happened and must be resolved.
Xie Lin stretched his arms and legs. After he had done all these things, except for being a little excited at the beginning, he was very calm when he saw Fu Yanran.
He was old, a few years older than Emperor Qing Yuan. All his military exploits were gained through fighting, and his body was covered with wounds. He also knew that his body would not last much longer.
It was Xie Ke who instigated this. He also felt that in this life, one must break free of the shackles of being "one person" above everyone else and have a taste of what it feels like to truly reach the top. Now that he has done it, he has no regrets in this life.
But these things will be handed over to Xie Ke sooner or later. After all, he is young, and his future achievements will not be worse than mine. But... where did this person go
It was clearly him who planned all of this, so how come he disappeared when something happened
Let alone the dislocated arm, even if it was just an excuse to deceive the emperor, Xie Lin didn't believe it. Xie Ke was a very devilish person who could survive any injury. He was a man who had just escaped from the gates of hell. Would he really care about whether his arm was dislocated or not
But after looking around, he really couldn't find anyone.
Just then, Xie Lin ran into Du Yin, so he pulled Xie Ke's confidant aside and asked, "Where is Xie Ke?"
Du Yin twitched his lips and looked up at the sky in silence.
What's the meaning
Xie Lin looked up at the sky with him, and after a while, he understood.
"It's Prince Zhao again," he sighed, "I'm beginning to suspect that he went through so much trouble just for Fu Zhiyu. Why is he in such a hurry? Now that it's like this, can Prince Zhao still run away?"
Du Yin thought about it and said, "That's not necessarily true."
Xie Ke's mind was no longer on this before the melee. He did these things just to indirectly achieve his goal of protecting Zhiyu. Now that Fu Zhiyu herself has problems, it is impossible for him to lose sight of the main thing and spend time on this.
The system came back in the afternoon. At that time, there was a sound of killing outside the tent, but Xie Ke's hands and feet were cold because of the system's words.
"I actually looked into the matter of Fu Zhiyu a long time ago, but I had no clue. But this time I changed my mind," said the 027 system. "I asked other systems if they had heard of the abnormal data. Many systems didn't dare to respond to me because of the Lord God's orders, but I have a new system that helped me. It secretly told me that there was a person who once lived in the Lord God's space. He was an abnormal data of the ancient world. The Lord God couldn't delete him, so he stayed there for a long time and often talked with the Lord God and other systems."
Xie Ke didn't say anything, but the 027 system could feel him trembling all over.
"That data is most likely Fu Zhiyu," the system concluded. "I have always wondered why he could come back with his memories after the world was restarted. According to the Lord God's rules for deleting bugs, even if he came back, at most he would be a new data that came with the world."
"Then it's not Zhiyu," Xie Ke suddenly added at this time, "If it's new data, then it should be the Fu Zhiyu in the original text. I... sometimes I hope he forgets those bad things, and sometimes, I'm more fortunate that he remembers."
The system was silent for a long time, and then said, "No matter if the abnormal data is Fu Zhiyu or not, you should go find him. Explain everything clearly. He is the person involved, and it is undeniable that he was hurt because of this incident. No matter what his attitude is after knowing the result, you should not hide it from him, Xie Ke, respect is not something that can be said with words."
Xie Ke twitched his fingers twice but did not answer.
"You make your own choice," the system sighed, which was rare for the system. "This is a matter between the two of you. I won't say anything more."
Xie Ke knew in his heart that he couldn't think about this matter for too long.
Zhiyu was about to leave, he could more or less guess that.
He made this choice as soon as he came back. He would not stay in the capital for long. Xie Ke also did not plan to stay in the capital forever. Naturally, he would go wherever Zhiyu went, but no matter where he went, he had to be able to protect Zhiyu. After all, Xie Ke and Fu Zhiyu had different personalities. He had no choice but to improvise without any other guarantees.
But now Zhiyu was leaving. It was not that he couldn't stop her, but what if he stopped her now? What if he followed her? Zhiyu was still indifferent, and would not change at all because of his behavior.
Zhiyu's words, as relayed by Shen Yang, made him understand to some extent why he had been working so hard but had made no progress at all.
"My past with Zhiyu was too painful," he said, "I... always thought that I didn't show him enough love before, which made him so disappointed and upset, but it's not true. You see, I was wrong all along."
All his efforts were to try to repair the relationship between him and Zhiyu, but Zhiyu was the last person who wanted to repair this so-called relationship with him.
"After I come back, I should do everything for him, not for us to start over. If I have too strong a purpose, I will be further and further away from him." Xie Ke seemed to have thought it through. He stood up and said, "I... want to find him. Zhiyu, he should know everything."
The hunting ground was some distance away from the capital. When Xie Ke returned there, he had already seen thick smoke rising from the palace.
"Zhiyu has already left," he said without any hurry, taking a deep breath, "I know... where he will go."
There are only a few routes from the capital to Jiangnan. Shadow searched for a whole night and found their trace in Jingyang City, not far from the capital.
In fact, Fu Zhiyu was not surprised that Xie Ke came to him. As soon as he left the capital, he and Doctor Chen and the others went their separate ways and walked this road alone just to be on guard against this.
He met Xie Ke in the Chamber of Commerce building. Fu Zhiyu slept well last night and was in a very calm mood this morning. However, Xie Ke was in a mess and looked a little absent-minded.
"After all these things were successful, isn't General Xie happy?" Fu Zhiyu tilted his head and looked at him, "I thought you would go to celebrate."
Xie Ke smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "Zhiyu, I fought for all this because of you."
"No," Fu Zhiyu shook his head, "You did it for yourself. To get me is not to do it for me. After all, I don't want to be with you anymore. It's all for you."
Xie Ke couldn't refute it. He looked at Fu Zhiyu for a long time, then said, "I... I won't do this again in the future, Zhiyu, I will change."
Fu Zhiyu didn't listen. He smiled and said, "If you really wanted to change, you wouldn't have caught up with me and blocked me now."
"I'm not trying to stop you this time. I really am not. You can go wherever you want." Xie Ke explained hurriedly, "I just want to... make one thing clear to you. Regarding the truth about my past life, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you clearly before for various reasons."
the truth
These two words actually made Fu Zhiyu slightly interested in Xie Ke's purpose of coming this time. He finally raised his head and looked directly into Xie Ke's eyes.
