Chapter 263: 2 Extreme Reversal, the Tyrant's Heartache 8
Leng Rong was confused by Yun Yan's remarks. She had never heard such remarks before.
Yunyan also knew that it would be difficult for these native indigenous people to accept it at first.
She was not in a hurry. Leng Rong was a person who never gave up, but she had become a little weak after being bullied over the years.
Yunyan decided to give her some time to digest it.
"Then go back and think about it carefully. I respect your decision no matter what you make, but I don't know how long you can keep Chen'er's identity a secret. After all, you can't be sure that no one knows Chen'er's background."
"Although the cold palace is remote, it is not without eyes. Many people are poisonous snakes in the dark."
Leng Rong was still confused when she walked out of Yunyan's residence. Yunyan's words made her feel uneasy for a long time.
Chen'er saw that his mother looked distracted and went forward to show concern.
"Mom, didn't you go to look for Sister Qi? Why are you so distracted now?"
Leng Rong was a little distracted as she looked at her daughter's face. Although her daughter looked like her, the older she got, the more she looked like the late emperor.
Especially those eyes, which look very much like the late emperor.
Seeing that his mother was silent, Chen'er asked in confusion: "Mom, why don't you speak? Are you feeling unwell? I'll ask Sister Qi to come over and take a look at you."
Leng Rong grabbed her sleeve and stroked her tender face with his rough hands.
"Chen'er, what do you think of Sister Qi?"
Chen Er thought for a second and replied with a smile: "Sister Qi is just like mother, a person with a cold face but a warm heart."
"She taught me a lesson today!"
Leng Rong asked: "Oh, what did Sister Qi say?"
"She said, no matter what others say, don't belittle yourself."
Chen'er's childish voice rang in his ears, and he repeated this sentence coldly.
She suddenly smiled and said, "Your sister Qi is right. Never look down on yourself at any time. If you look down on yourself, you will only be bullied to death by others."
"Chen'er, let's follow your sister Qi to do great things together from now on, okay?"
Although Chen'er didn't understand what a big deal it was, he still nodded and agreed.
It’s never wrong to listen to mother. If you hang out with Sister Qi, maybe you can get more delicious food for mother.
……
Helian Jue finally stopped farting. He hadn't attended court for several days in a row, and the ministers tacitly had no objections.
Censor Xie was forced by Helian Jue to retire and return home, but since Censor Xie had been upright and honest throughout his life and always spoke frankly about his advice, how could Helian Jue agree to his request?
At the morning court session that day, he still mixed in with the officials.
When Helian Jue saw him, he was so angry that he could not contain himself.
What on earth is this old guy trying to do? I've clearly already let him go.
If the imperial physician had not told him not to get angry easily, he would have chopped off the old man's head himself.
This time, Censor Xie did not have Mo Ji. After paying his respects, he asked him directly.
"Your Majesty, I just want to ask you one question. Do you really not want to listen to my advice?"
Helian Jue suppressed his anger.
"I don't want to hear it. If there are other ministers who do this again, I will have no choice but to drag him out and behead him."
These words were obviously a threat to Censor Xie, but Censor Xie was not afraid of his threat at all.
He suddenly laughed out loud in the throne room.
"Hahahaha, with a king like this, God is determined to destroy Dayu!"
Before anyone could react, Censor Xie hit his head against a pillar in the Golden Palace and died.
Helian Jue was also shocked. He didn't expect that this old guy would actually dare to commit suicide in the Golden Palace.
After he realized what was happening, he felt annoyed. Wasn't this embarrassing him in public?
"Come here, drag Censor Xie's body away, strip him of his official uniform, and take him to the Meridian Gate to whip his corpse."
Helian Jue's words were shocking. The ministers in the court never expected that Helian Jue would not even let go of the corpse.
The prime minister was the first to come out and stop it.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this! Although Censor Xie has no merits, he has worked hard. Your Majesty, humiliating him like this will only chill the hearts of the scholars in our court."
Helian Jue didn't care.
"I just want to let the scholars of this world see that just because you read a few more days, you can't disobey me."
"Prime Minister, there is no need to mention this matter again. I have already given him a break and allowed him to retire and return home. He brought this humiliation upon himself."
The prime minister shut up and sighed softly. Was his decision to assist Helian Jue in ascending the throne really the right one?
If his only daughter had not insisted on marrying him, he might not have chosen to help him ascend to the throne.
……
Without Yunyan, Helian Jue's manic episodes are becoming more and more likely to occur.
He started killing people every now and then, and sometimes he felt that killing was not enough and would abuse people in public.
He has not yet found the real culprit for the last prank he suffered, and the eunuchs and guards around him have suffered a lot. None of them has a good skin on their bodies.
That night, Yunyan sneaked into the Yangxin Palace again.
Helian Jue was taking a bath, but there was a chorus of begging for mercy in the bathroom.
Helian Jue actually grabbed a palace maid's head and pushed her into the water.
The other palace maids nearby didn't dare to speak or even breathe, for fear that they would be the next to suffer.
The eunuchs watched this scene with great pity. The emperor had been suffering from mania recently and loved to torture people whenever he had an attack. Several palace maids and eunuchs had already been thrown into a mass grave.
The palace maid who was forced to drink water had less and less strength to struggle, and she already felt suffocated.
Helian Jue finally got tired of playing and kicked the man far away.
He looked at the young eunuch next to him, and the young eunuch felt a chill all over his body and his calves trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, the guards outside suddenly made a sound.
"Who? There's an assassin. Come, protect the emperor!"
Helian Jue narrowed his eyes, quickly put on his clothes and went out.
He came before the guards.
"Did you see clearly what the assassin looks like?"
The guard replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the assassin was wearing night clothes. I didn't see his face clearly, but a group of people have already gone after him."
Helian Jue was sure that it must be the same person from last time. He recalled the humiliation he suffered last time and wanted to cut that person into pieces.
This time, Helian Jue went out with his sword in hand. He was determined to kill that man.
Yunyan quickly shook off the imperial guards and deliberately appeared not far from Helian Jue.
Helian Jue was as confident as she thought, and this time he even dared to chase her.
I thought that I was just tricked last time and didn't fight her head on, so I took it for granted that Yunyan would just run away.
Yunyan walked around the palace like walking a dog, and Helian Jue began to doubt his life.
How come this person has such good physical strength? Is he a monster?
Every time Helian Jue wanted to give up, Yun Yan would deliberately let him catch up a little bit.
Some sounds of teasing dogs and chickens came out of his mouth.
"Rororororo, lororororo."
