When we returned to the cave, it was already dark. Everyone had finished eating and were waiting for Fu Yuheng and Shen Qingwan to return.
Only Lianyun felt unnatural when seeing them, everyone else acted as if nothing had happened.
Ye Feng knew it very well. When he reminded Fu Yuheng that there was a spring there, he knew what would happen. So he asked Lianyun to leave a portion of the roasted food for Fu Yuheng and the others to keep warm, and then he ate his own portion.
The cave was warmed by the fire. After dinner, Qingwan leaned on Fu Yuheng's shoulder and was no longer sleepy.
She just felt that she had never felt as relaxed as she did today in all these days. It was like a new life, with peace and tranquility from the bottom of her heart.
There was a bright moon outside, and Qingwan couldn't help but start to miss the people in the palace. She didn't know what Concubine Qi was doing now? How was Concubine Shu doing
"The Queen is becoming more cunning day by day. Now that the envoys from Okong have arrived, they will definitely cause trouble. Your Majesty must make preparations in advance."
"That's natural. Wanwan thinks too much. Go to bed early."
Ever since Fu Yuheng fell in love with Shen Qingwan, he has been concerned about her life all the time, almost meticulously.
Qingwan also kept it in mind.
"Your Majesty wants me to go to bed early, but I can't sleep. Some things are not so worrying that you don't have to worry about them. Your Majesty said earlier that Okong is very mysterious, and I have no idea what it is these days. Can you let me know what kind of country it is?"
Fu Yuheng held her body and turned over on the thick grass, then told Qingwan the story about the country of Okong.
"The girl you met the other day is a good example. She is the king's illegitimate daughter, unwelcome and without status. In Okon, the king can marry multiple queens, but he cannot decide who will be the king in the future."
"That's really strange. If he can't decide, who can?"
Fu Yuheng touched her hair and said, "It's up to the children to decide."
This was the first time Qingwan heard this statement. She found it very novel and couldn't help but think about it.
The children decide, so whichever one is better will inherit the throne
"That's not decided by the king. He's the only one who has the power to judge!"
Cunning King.
Fu Yuheng chuckled and explained, "It's not like that. You imagine that person is supreme and has the support of everyone, and then he can do whatever he wants, but in fact the king will be restrained by many people. The queens he married are all overlords or powerful forces, so they can bring him support and support. It's natural that he will be unable to get rid of the tail, and he will not be comfortable sitting on the throne in the future."
Qing Wan smacked her lips: "How can I explain this? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Fu Yuheng said: "You may think so, but those who sit on the throne don't think so. Most of them are royals with little power. Without those people, they would not be able to be king. The Okong Kingdom attaches great importance to bloodline. If a man who is not a royal family is allowed to ascend the throne, he will be scolded to death. Therefore, most people will carefully consider whether to overthrow a dynasty. Most people will support a puppet with little ability to take the throne."
Qing Wan was amazed: "There is such a configuration, it's really..."
"You have heard of it, right? It is quite strange. When my grandmother told me this story, I also found it strange. How could such an unknown small country live a life different from that of ordinary people?"
Qing Wan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Will the king be incompetent in the future? He didn't sit on the throne by real ability, so won't he be unable to handle state affairs in the future?"
Fu Yuheng sighed, "He doesn't want to deal with state affairs at all. He wants to enjoy wealth and glory. None of those young masters have ever suffered. Even if a prince who was bullied succeeded to the throne, he would not think about the people, but would first seek revenge for himself."
Qingwan was speechless.
"But looking at those who showed up, it seems that none of them are like what you said. Some of them are very close to the royal family and have great faith in them, while others are ambitious and want to overthrow everyone and take the throne themselves. In this way, the process is the same, and everyone is fighting for their own interests."
"Well said, Wanwan has hit the nail on the head. What I am going to talk about next is the current emperor."
After hearing what Fu Yuheng said, Qingwan became extremely curious about that man.
What kind of man would stand out among so many people and force those reactionary forces, unable to rely on their families for protection, to find outsiders to do it
"The current Emperor Okon is a very talented man. His father was as incompetent as I just said. He lost his conscience and bottom line just for the sake of wealth and glory, and spent his days in debauchery and pleasure. Later, when many princes were competing, this one won the final throne with his extraordinary skills and scheming. During his few years in office, he did several great things. He won the praise of the people."
Qingwan began to worry, as the pleasure of listening to stories was no longer there.
"Your Majesty, if he is so powerful, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous to us?"
"Wrong. It is because he is so capable that he can see the situation very clearly and will not do anything that would harm the country and cause trouble for himself."
"What do you mean?"
Qingwan seemed to have the answer, but still wanted to hear Fu Yuheng explain it clearly.
"That person will never do anything that will end in vain. Even if he wants to touch my Daliang, he has to do it based on my presence."
"Your Majesty..."
Qing Wan was even more worried. What if that person knew about Fu Yuheng's current situation? Wouldn't that be terrible? If he joined forces with the Queen to get rid of them, how could Fu Yuheng survive
Fu Yuheng saw her worry and couldn't help but smile and told her not to worry.
"Wanwan, don't worry. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. We will be fine."
"Why?"
Qingwan was so anxious that she almost jumped up.
"The emperor of Okong is a truly powerful man. The military power he holds is ten times greater than that of the man who surrendered to the queen. Otherwise, he would not have resorted to such a desperate measure and let himself and a woman like Daliang join forces to deal with the emperor of Okong, and face the danger of being annexed by others."
"But if he cooperates with the Queen, he will also face the danger of being swallowed up by others. The Queen is not an easy person to deal with. Whatever she likes has never been returned. So far, she has only suffered at my hands. But the harem is different from the court. If she gets the upper hand, she will surely do anything."
Fu Yuheng tapped the tip of her nose and finally said the most crucial point.
"No matter how powerful the queen is, she is just a woman."
