Chapter 19
At the end of the morning meeting, system 999 was disappointed.
This morning, the host endured the situation quietly and didnt act out in anger, which was quite beyond its expectation.
Although this was its ideal salted fish host at the beginning, how does he feel like something is wrong?
[Host, do you want to do something big again?]
At this point, it is like a wife with a keen sense of smell, who sniffed perfume on her husband and is now playing detective.
Well
Yuan Buwei was sitting in the study, turning over a stack of silk books in his hands and biting a special version of ten times sweeter candy hawthorn, as if contemplating his answer.
System 999 is nervous and expectant. It doesnt know whether to hope that the answer is yes or no.
Yuan Buwei: Burp ~
There was a moment of silence in the study.
He glanced over at the neat seven candy hawthorn sticks on the table next to him. Instead of sweeping them together as if nothing had happened, he covered them with a handkerchief, and took a sip from a tea cup filled with clear water.
After all this, he said slowly, Well, guess?
System 999: [? ? ?]
This host is getting more and more stingy.
Because the host always acts improperly, it is either used to go online all day, or it is used repeatedly as a tool system. So system 999 will shut down from time to time for a period of time.
This time, it was also offline for several days. Unexpectedly, it went online again and learned the amazing fact that the emperors coma was actually due to poisoning by the host.
At that time, system 999 felt uncomfortable all over.
What strange skill sets has the host cultivated?
Even the system 999, which had been around him at that time, did not notice how the emperor was poisoned.
If he hadnt told Qi Yu himself, the system would have thought the host would directly end the Emperor It seems that there is still a small possibility of the host turning over a new leaf. System 999 simply wants to die on the spot.
[Host, do you remember the task?]
999 imitating a customer service system, warmly reminds.
[Whitewash the villain and no longer compete with the protagonist. Keep yourself safe and be a good man.]
At the same time, it also tenderly displayed subtitles in front of Yuan Buwei and boldly marked the eight words Be safe and be a good man in red, almost equipping it with flash special effects.
I remember.
Yuan Buwei took out another candied hawthorn from an unknown place and bent his eyes slightly.
Dont worry, Ive always been a good man. This is recognized by all living beings in the world from the bottom of their hearts.
[Really?] System 999 is skeptical.
When they first met, it hurried through Yuan Buweis world and did not read the fate plot. However it also knew of the hosts world saving deeds from the mouths of countless mortals in the world.
Logically, what Yuan Buwei said made sense.
but why does it always feel something was amiss?
Nevertheless, in the next few days, Yuan Buweis performance was indeed stable.
Go to the court as always, handle government affairs as always, and guide the imperial kitchen to develop new desserts (?) as always. This ordinary routine makes system 999 have a sense of intangibility.
It is once again early in the morning.
In the resplendent palace hall, sat atop the throne. With a few words, he completed the government affairs mentioned by the courtiers one by one and assigned duties to the most suitable people.
Although he didnt talk much, every word was meaningful, organized and clear-cut. As long as people do what he says, there will absolutely be no problem.
Everyone witnessed the rapid development of the princes political proficiency in a short time and each minister reacted differently. While some are pleased, others frown.
During this quiet moment, the sharp voice of a eunuch outside the hall suddenly sounded, trembling with some amazement:
Your majesty, your majesty? His majesty has arrived!
At the same time, a figure rushed in.
When the emperor woke up, dawn had broken.
The light in the bedroom was very dim. He narrowed his eyes and adapted to it for a while before he found that it was not an illusion.
Great surprise enveloped him in an instant.
finally, finally, he finally saw the sun again!
At this time, there was a sudden sound of soft footsteps in the hall.
The emperor looked warily and found that it was empress Zhou.
Empress Zhou also realized he had awakened and ran to the bedside in surprise: Your Majesty, you finally
Before she finished, the emperor had suddenly sat up and covered her mouth and whispered, dont let others notice!
Empress Zhous voice made the emperor react quickly from the euphoria of awakening.
Originally, he thought that once he woke up, he would be put under house arrest by the crown prince, but now it seems that the crown prince is still busy in court!
Perhaps the other party didnt expect him to wake up so soon. There were no guards restricting him.
Isnt this a god given opportunity!
He is now in a position of weakness. If the crown prince kept him under house arrest and isolated him from the inside and outside, it would be all right. Unless
The emperor, who had intended to give up resistance, decided to struggle again.
Overlapping curtains covered the figure of the two people. From the outside, there was no chance of noticing the emperors actions or his awakening.
Several little maidservants seemed to notice the empress movements and came over.
The emperor quickly released her hand and empress Zhou nodded in cooperation. Turning her head she ordered:
Wait, dont come here. Everyone leave. This palace wants to talk to his majesty alone.
Only when everyone in the room had left did the emperor relax. Raising his head, he stared at empress Zhou with eyes mixed with surprise and worry, then smiled bitterly.
After empress Zhou one sided chatter these days, he thought he understood the womans mind.
Zitong, zhen needs your help now
A quarter of an hour later, empress Zhous Phoenix chariot came out of the emperors bedroom and went all the way to the supreme palace hall.
Therefore, before the end of court, an unexpected figure broke into the supreme palace hall under everyones shocked gazes.
The emperor lay in bed for nearly a month and his limbs were still a little stiff as he forced himself into the supreme palace hall. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the crown prince sitting on the throne. Who knew he had already become so arrogant!
The arrival of the emperor was too sudden. Before the ministers reacted, they saw that the emperor had trembled, raised his hand and pointed at the crown prince: Villain! You villain, are you no longer hiding your ambition?
Yuan Buwei looked at him in amazement.
The emperors face was red with anger, half real and half fake.
His arms trembled violently and he accused loudly in front of the officials: Poisoning your father and trying to put zhen under house arrest in the palace. Did you think your scheme was flawless? Today zhen will expose your treacherous act Huh?!
At this point, his body suddenly stiffened, and the sense of paralysis spread all over his body in a moment. The emperor only felt that he had suddenly lost control of his limbs, and then the whole person fell to the ground on his back.
Bang!
Yuan Buwei tutted in his heart.
its painful just hearing the sound.
The emperor uttered a painful groan from his mouth.
The ministers exclaimed, Your majesty!
From the time the emperor stepped into the hall and began to criticize, to the time when he fell to the ground without warning while suspected of having a stroke, the whole process lasted just a dozen breaths.
So that the ministers were unable to react.
Looking at such an embarrassed emperor and then the crown prince on the throne, even prime minister Su, who claims to be smooth in his daily life, was at a loss for a moment.
Yuan Buwei continued to sit on the throne carelessly, holding his chin in one hand, his posture still calm.
Then as if shocked by this scene. He was stunned for several moments before he issued a surprised syllable: Oh.
Although imperial father misunderstood me, there is no need to make such a grand apology. He shook his head, I can be understanding
Pei! Whats going on No, what did you do to me?! The emperor was so angry that he forgot his identity when speaking. The sharp pain from his nose stimulated his nerves and burst out directly as vulgar words.
When he spoke, his whole face rubbed against the ground, but his body was like a motionless puppet, stiff and unable to move. For a moment, he was shocked and angry, and his eyes were cracked.
There was a mixture of fear in his voice that he himself had yet to realise.
Yuan Buwei looked at him as if finally comprehending something. He couldnt help but lower his eyes and say in disappointment:
So imperial father wasnt making amends.
Imperial father has slept for a long time and is confused. If I really wanted to harm you, how can you make it to the supreme hall past the many shadow guards?
After explaining a sentence, he pondered, As for imperial fathers reaction now, it should be due to the remaining poison.
With that, he seemed to realise that the emperor was still lying on the ground and quickly ordered several small eunuchs to help him up.
Poison? Havent I been detoxified?
Finally bidding farewell to the intimate contact with the floor. The emperor eagerly looked at Yuan Buwei and ignored the implication that there was something wrong with his mind in the others words.
Clearly, empress Zhou said that the crown prince promised
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly reacted.
The crown prince just said that he would wake up in half a month at most. He never promised to detoxify him!
Crown prince, you!
His anger surged up again and he couldnt move. Only able to stare at Yuan Buwei with his eyes, but the body felt more and more numb.
Hearing the question Yuan Buwei explained: This poison is very difficult to deal with. Imperial father should remember to control his emotions and dont be overly joyful or angry. Well, you might as well learn from this humble minister and keep a peaceful heart.
Learn from him, even if you are sitting on the throne of the emperor and holding the highest power, he can still look down and watch the emperor flutter on the ground Isnt his expression still indifferent, without any joy and excitement?
Thinking it through the emperors disposition instantly turned bad.
The emperor became too angry to speak.
Its the so-called blinded by profit. Before, the emperor was dazzled by the hope of regaining freedom and power. Now he has regained reason again under the fear of death.
You, you arranged this
His voice trembled imperceptibly.
He couldnt understand, since the prince could deceive him with his acting skills for so long, poisoning him with none the wiser. There was no reason to be so careless and let him break into the supreme palace hall! This can only be deliberately arranged by the other party!
At this point, he thought back to the past.
First, he was poisoned unexpectedly, making his consciousness sink in the dark. Every day, he listened to his forces being cut off bit by bit. When he was about to become completely desperate, hope was given through the mouth of the empress.
After finally enduring for half a month. He thought that today was the time to escape from life and regain everything, only to have his hope completely shattered
The most painful thing in the world is not that you cant obtain something after failing again and again, or when you get it and lose it. Its when you fall short at the cusp of success.
Its like climbing up after falling off a cliff, only to be pushed back down by someone For a moment, the emperors mind collapsed!
He threw up a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.
