Being an emperor is a high-risk job.
If you do a good job, you deserve it. If you don't do a good job, you will be infamous for eternity.
No matter whether you did it or not, as long as you are in power, it is you.
On weekdays, a group of imperial censors would always try to make serious remonstrations to you. Even if you wanted to use your own money to build a pond or a pavilion for yourself, they would force you to hide in the study with your face covered.
Even so, you can't just hide away.
You can hide on the first day, but you can’t hide on the fifteenth.
One day we will be blocked by these guys.
Once it's blocked, it begins.
You have to admit your mistake, or even make a confession of guilt.
Otherwise, it’s never over.
Of course, you are so angry in your heart that you want to rob these people of their property and wipe out their entire clan.
But you can't, and you dare not.
If you do this, you are a tyrant.
And those people were loyal ministers, and their names will go down in history.
And you?
Even after death, these people will give him a not-so-nice posthumous title.
Even this is terrifying.
You are also helpless.
However, Goethe did not think that among those who wanted Emperor Qian to die, the princess would be one of them.
Could it be that...
Can't wait?
There has been someone who has been the crown prince for sixty years.
What's there to wait for?
Goethe looked at Princess Zhao Dingsi in confusion.
"He is not my father ."
Princess Zhao Dingsi said with certainty.
Not your father...
etc!
Shouldn't it be the emperor's brother?
How did he become the father?
this?
Goethe suddenly thought of this sentence: Your circle is so chaotic.
"My brother and I are siblings in name, but we are actually father and daughter. I fell in love with my brother before my sister-in-law entered the palace. My brother originally planned to marry my sister-in-law, but was framed by a traitor and entered the palace to become a concubine. The traitor's intention was to have his daughter marry my brother, but what the traitor didn't expect was that my sister-in-law was already pregnant with me.
This also made the emperor's brother want to kill him.
He pretended to agree.
Find the right moment.
Unfortunately, the emperor's sister-in-law didn't come, and after the traitor found out that she was pregnant with me, he planned to kill her and my brother in the name of serving the king, but my brother took action first."
Zhao Dingsi spoke calmly.
Goethe was inwardly astonished.
"That is to say, the emperor brother is not the emperor brother, but your father.
The Empress's sister-in-law is not the Empress's sister-in-law, but your mother?"
"Um."
Zhao Dingsi nodded.
"No wonder the current Crown Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince are being treated coldly."
Goethe figured this out.
"This was the order of the Emperor's sister-in-law before she died. She believed that he was also my brother's flesh and blood and should not be put to death.
Even if the villain was wrong, the child was not wrong.
The emperor's sister-in-law also treated them as her own children, but unfortunately, with the passing of the sister-in-law, everything became somewhat out of control."
Zhao Dingsi hinted.
If it was before, Goethe would definitely not understand, but now he reacted instantly.
"Your brother wanted to revive your sister-in-law, but something went wrong, so your brother is no longer your brother?"
Goethe asked.
“That’s right.
The emperor's brother looked through the royal books and treasures and finally found a way to resurrect his sister-in-law.
It was left by the founding ancestors.
Although it is against the will of heaven, my royal brother has to do it.
I don't object either.
Using the 'Sword Immortal' Li Qiubai as the medicine, a secret resurrection technique began.
result……
The emperor is no longer the emperor."
Zhao Dingsi's tone became depressed.
Goethe did not say anything explicitly.
Any secret technique is dangerous.
Especially when it comes to rituals, it can catch people off guard.
Because you don’t know at all, even if you succeed, whether that kind of success will be the success you perceive it to be.
Goethe once read a book record of the collection.
There was a man who wanted both a long life and immense wealth.
Then he performed the ceremony.
The ceremony was a success.
He directly turned into a huge golden man.
This is still a normal ceremony.
Once it comes to the origin of life, even Goethe today would not touch it.
Who knows what this will bring.
If my brother loses his hands and feet and turns into a tin man, it would be a waste of time.
"Are you sure?"
Goethe picked up another piece of mutton and asked in a reserved tone while eating.
"Um."
"The Emperor is no longer the Emperor."
"Because the emperor only thinks of himself as the emperor."
Zhao Dingsi spoke each word in a very confusing manner.
But Goethe understood.
"So, you plan to kill Emperor Qian?"
"He wanted to kill you?"
Goethe continued to ask.
"No!"
"He has perfectly inherited the qualities of his elder brother. He gives me the best things he can think of, even the royal collection. In fact, my original elder brother was not as good to me as he is!"
Zhao Dingsi shook his head.
Goethe was puzzled.
"and you?"
"He is absorbing the luck of Daqian. At the same time, he is waiting for me to mature."
Zhao Dingsi's eyes were cold.
Goethe understood that it was a matter of luck.
The secret realm before us seems to be somewhat particular about this.
If you are lucky, you won’t have to worry about your wishes coming true.
That was smooth sailing too.
It’s a kind of blessing.
The more luck you have, the better.
As long as there is no backlash.
And wait for maturity?
Goethe suddenly felt that the perverted familiarity of the 'club' had returned.
When he was in his hometown's 'club', the magician had been keeping an eye on him, helping him many times and saving him from death many times, but he kept muttering 'the fruit is too astringent, please ripen it quickly'.
Goethe still remembers that voice.
He, who is used to dealing with perverts, can't stand it.
Especially that look, it really made him feel nauseous.
"It's not what I thought, is it?"
Goethe asked.
"It's just what you think."
Zhao Dingsi was very sure.
"Really? I didn't see anyone eating?"
Goethe rolled his eyes.
"You asked."
Zhao Dingsi curled his lips in annoyance.
Goethe said nothing.
It seemed like he really asked first.
Well, he was in the wrong this time.
Forget it, I won’t bother with women.
Goethe thought this and snatched the mutton from Zhao Dingsi's box.
This lamb is really good.
Not to mention tenderness.
There is not even a hint of mutton smell.
After dipping it in some condiments, the taste is amazing.
"So what are you going to do - to kill Emperor Qian? You don't want me to break into the palace alone, kill him with a knife, and then use his blood to write a note on the wall saying the murderer is Mo Shengyi, and then walk out in a swagger, right?"
Goethe asked again.
"No?"
Zhao Dingsi blinked, and that charm overflowed again.
Goethe didn't even look at it, but just called out to the cook.
"Master, hey, Master, wake up.
Cut the meat for me, with some fat and some lean meat."
As he spoke, Goethe also adjusted the seasoning again.
To make hot pot mutton delicious, you need more dipping sauce.
Just like talking about business.
It’s never wrong to be more patient.
Especially when you seem to have the initiative, don't be impatient.
Whether this initiative is real or just apparent.
We all have to stabilize.
As for going to the palace?
That's fine.
Goethe refused to go anywhere that was closely related to the "Mad King" unless he was 100% sure.
Who knows what's in there?
In case you're not careful.
That would be a disaster.
Zhao Dingsi looked at Goethe eating and drinking without saying a word, and snorted softly.
"I won't let you go to the palace. He will definitely come on the second day of February."
"Because Yan Zhongxia is here?"
Goethe asked.
Although it is a question, Goethe is quite sure.
The relationship between Yan Zhongxia and Zhao Dingsi seems a bit complicated, and they don't look like lovers as rumored. However, the current Emperor Qian certainly doesn't know this. Considering that the other party regards Zhao Dingsi as his forbidden delicacy, he will definitely kill Yan Zhongxia.
And he has just revealed his identity.
Then Emperor Qian will definitely come.
Goethe knew.
Zhao Dingsi knew better.
Or rather, this was her plan.
But, it was slightly modified.
She originally wanted to arrange it herself.
Now, we have an additional helper like Goethe.
"Well, because you're here."
Zhao Dingsi replied.
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face.
That kind of shallow smile, like the shy smile of a young girl.
"It's great to have you here."
Zhao Dingsi said softly.
Goethe also laughed.
"Yeah, come on, let's talk."
"What?"
Zhao Dingsi started to act dumb.
"You're not going to get me just for a meal of mutton hotpot, are you?"
"Of course, don't expect that you can just take care of yourself."
"Let's get practical."
Goethe said, rubbing his middle and index fingers with his thumb.
"Hmph, you wanna hook up with me?"
"You wish."
"You can choose any of [Treasure Cards], Secret Arts, Gold and Silver Treasures, or Official Positions."
"Even if you want everything that 'Sword Immortal' Li Qiubai once had, I can give it to you."
Zhao Dingsi snorted coldly and said directly.
"【Treasure Card】, Secret Technique."
Goethe chose two.
"How much?"
Zhao Dingsi showed her heroic spirit as the eldest princess and was not afraid of Goethe's exorbitant demands at all.
"How many do you have?"
"I'll have as much as you want."
Zhao Dingsi’s answer was very straightforward.
Is the Treasure Card precious?
precious!
However, if you want to use the [Treasure Card], you have to pass the trial.
Moreover, the cost of using it each time is unbearable.
Goethe wanted the [Bao Ka], so Zhao Dingsi dared to give it to him.
Because, in Zhao Dingsi's view, this is tantamount to seeking death.
Goethe's life span has ended, but isn't the [Treasure Card] still hers?
As for the secret technique?
The requirements for each secret technique are different. Some require talent, some require time, and some require both talent and time. Zhao Dingsi would be even more happy if he could use the secret technique to keep Goethe in front of him.
Zhao Dingsi was not afraid that Goethe would not speak.
What I am afraid of is that Goethe has no desires or demands.
If there is a way, she will find a way.
Goethe's sense of propriety made Zhao Dingsi and others like him even more. Even the one with a violent temper felt that Goethe was a good person.
Sadly, it has no taste.
"What exactly?"
Goethe asked again.
The deal and the chips have been agreed upon.
Naturally we need to talk about the process.
Zhao Dingsi became serious again.
"I can't tell you the details right now. He has some magical powers. If I tell you now, you will be prepared and he will sense it. You can only act according to the circumstances."
"oh?"
"What about malicious intent, murderous intent?"
Goethe frowned.
If even this is restricted, we will have to plan again.
He will appear as Mo Shengyi.
"It's okay."
"There are so many people in the world who want to kill him."
"and……"
"You have a grudge against him!"
Zhao Dingsi changed the subject.
"The Mo family in Beijing."
Goethe's voice became slightly colder, and his tone was playful.
He remembered what the old blind man said about the Mo family's [treasure card], and that Emperor Qian at that time should have done it to save his lover.
It seems to be connected.
However, Zhao Dingsi's attitude was a little different from what one might have imagined.
When Goethe mentioned the Mo family, Zhao Dingsi smiled.
It was a scornful laugh.
Flash by.
But Goethe saw it.
Zhao Dingsi seemed to have discovered this as well.
So, I no longer care.
"The Mo family's [Treasure Card] eventually fell into the hands of my brother, and I have now placed it in the treasure of the Sword Immortal Li Qiubai. However, it was not my brother or I who first made the move, but...
The Mo family themselves!"
Goethe immediately narrowed his eyes.
He thought of something.
Zhao Dingsi said immediately.
“Waiting for a price. ”
"But it attracted jackals."
"That was also when I met Yan Zhongxia."
“It wasn’t pleasant, but I was the winner in the end.”
"And the Mo family?"
"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant, and in the end, it will eat itself to death."
Zhao Dingsi spoke frankly.
"is that so?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go check it out."
"Need not."
Goethe said this, but he had made up his mind to investigate it carefully.
He was not sure whether Zhao Dingsi had concealed this matter from him.
It’s just like what happened with Emperor Qian.
All need to be verified.
Fortunately, it’s February 2nd, so there’s still some time left.
That's enough.
When Zhao Dingsi saw Goethe's expression, he didn't say anything more.
He just raised his hand and told the maid to bring a cup of hot tea.
It's not that she doesn't want to move fast.
However, as soon as she moved, Goethe really snatched it away.
After that, one eats while the other watches.
Until late at night.
Goethe ate until he was full and then stood up to say goodbye.
Once the mask was put on, Goethe turned back into Yan Zhongxia, the Taoist master of the Tao of Immortality.
As soon as he took a step, Goethe remembered something.
"By the way, leave those people to me."
"Kill him."
Zhao Dingsi replied.
"Where's the stuff?"
"here."
Zhao Dingsi clapped his hands in fear, and a young eunuch handed a bag of things to Goethe.
There are [treasure cards], gold and silver, and all sorts of other things.
Goethe took a quick look, picked it up and turned away.
Zhao Dingsi watched Goethe's back until he was about to disappear at the gate. Then he stood up and chased after him. Holding onto the door frame, he cried out with tears in his eyes, "When will you come back?"
"another day."
Goethe said as he walked quickly and disappeared without stopping.
The eldest princess began to sob softly.
At the same time, in the capital, the imperial palace.
There was an earthquake.
More than a hundred eunuchs and palace maids unfortunately died.
