Chapter 244 Live Broadcast from the Sky

This pot of wine is the creation of our God of Wealth, Lao Jiu, known as "Lao Jiu's Special Mix." It's absolutely tangy and refreshing; everyone who gets tricked into drinking it can't help but gag.

It's true that Yongzheng's brothers had a great relationship; they truly shared their good fortune. No one escaped the "Ninth Prince's Special Concoction," and in the end, only Yongzheng remained untouched.

The brothers saw this and thought, "That won't do. If we're going to drink, everyone has to drink." So, after some "friendly negotiation," our specially brewed producer, the Ninth Prince Yun Tang, took the wine and walked towards Yongzheng, followed by a group of people who were there to watch the spectacle.

As a result, Emperor Yongzheng drank it and his complexion remained normal, without any additional reaction.

It wasn't because he could endure it, but because he had already lost his sense of taste and smell. This was a side effect of the medication he was taking; no one knew exactly when he lost his senses. But after discovering the truth through this glass of wine, everyone was very uneasy.

It was under these circumstances that Yongzheng reluctantly revealed the matter of the medicine. However, he still tried to conceal it, only saying that the medicine was used to treat illnesses.

As everyone knows, what happened next was that, due to concerns about Yongzheng's health and uncertainty about the medicine, many of his brothers sent large quantities of precious medicinal herbs and doctors they found to the capital while they were away on campaigns.

Many people also believe that from the fourth to the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign, the reason why these princes responded to Yongzheng's expansion plan and were so eager to expand their territory was partly because they wanted to find a good remedy for Yongzheng's illness and health.

Those who have read Honghui's diary should know how cruel fate can be. Just when everyone believed Wang Hesheng's medicine was indeed a miracle cure and gradually relaxed, Yongzheng fell ill.

On the 18th day of the fifth month of the eighth year of the Yongzheng reign, Emperor Yongzheng, who had reigned for less than ten years but had achieved countless accomplishments, passed away. Before his death, he was still concerned about the future of his brothers and instructed Honghui to treat his uncles and elders well.

This deep brotherly bond is why Yongzheng's brothers continued to think of him even after they passed away.

On the sixth day of the third month of the fifth year of the Chengtai reign, Prince Zhi, Yunzhi, passed away, still lamenting that he shouldn't have mocked Yongzheng's poor drinking capacity before his death; on the third day of the sixth month, Prince Li, Yunreng, passed away, still apologizing for his past actions before his death; on the twelfth day of the eleventh month of the eighth year of the Chengtai reign, Prince Lian, Yunsi, passed away, still softly calling out "Fourth Brother" before his death...

All of this was left for Honghui to bear alone, watching his father and uncles pass away one by one. This is why Honghui's obsession with Yongming ran so deep. As fewer and fewer people in the world had any connection with Yongzheng, his fear grew, ultimately leading him to choose to record his diary in a white jade thumb ring…

The death of a good monarch evoked silent mourning from countless people under the heavens. Hearing his dying words, which prince before the Qianqing Palace remained unmoved?

Encountering such brothers was a blessing for them in that time and space, but a misfortune for them, the bystanders, who could only watch with envy and live helplessly in the present.

How can someone who has seen the light continue to endure the darkness?

[This concludes the account of Emperor Yongzheng's life. However, his relationships with his brothers, his father-son relationship with Emperor Chengtai, and the mysterious white jade thumb ring remain popular topics of discussion...etc.]

As the stage began its closing remarks, everyone, regardless of their own thoughts, calmed down and waited for the final prize draw. But then, something unexpected happened in the stage, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

[Friends! Breaking news! The white jade thumb ring at the Royal Museum has shown unusual activity! After ten years, it has lit up again!]

Upon hearing Tianmu mention the "white jade thumb ring," everyone perked up, recounting the life and remarkable achievements of Emperor Yongzheng. They couldn't see any connection to "metaphysics." But then this extraordinary thumb ring appeared—who wouldn't be curious?

[We can't make it there now, but it's okay, there's an official live stream. Today, the host will guide everyone through the live stream. Please wait a moment while I switch to another channel.]

Before everyone's eyes, the screen suddenly shifted, and soon a strange woman holding a short, thick, dark stick with a round top appeared before them. Compared to the original voice from the screen, her voice was more dignified and authoritative.

【Dear viewers, we are now at the Royal Museum. The white jade thumb ring unearthed from the Western Qing Tombs has once again lit up red light after showing its miracle ten years ago. We wonder what new miracle it will bring us. Let's wait and see.】

The camera pans to a distance where a crowd of people is cordoned off, and tall, upright guards stand in front of them. Inside the glass display case at the very center, a white jade thumb ring quietly emits a soft glow.

Everyone, both on and off screen, watched with anticipation. Soon, the red light grew brighter and brighter, expanding outwards until a dazzling flash of red light caused everyone to involuntarily close their eyes. When they opened them again, they saw a ethereal, tall, and elegant semi-transparent figure standing in mid-air above the ring.

"!"

Who is that?

Everyone was filled with doubt and suspicion, but only Thirteen hesitated before speaking up: "Why does that person look a bit like Fourth Brother to me?"

Upon hearing Yinxiang's words, everyone couldn't help but scrutinize Yinzhen. Yinzhen froze, then touched his face, looking at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar face on the sky, his feelings a mix of emotions.

"You should say that the fourth brother looks a bit like him, after all, that man is much better looking than the fourth brother."

Yinzhen's words were as sharp as ever, but Yinzhen had no time to argue with him at this moment. He asked hesitantly, "He wouldn't happen to be the Yongzheng Emperor, would he?"

Following Yinzhen's words, everyone actually thought it was possible. Since this white jade thumb ring was passed down from Yongzheng to Emperor Chengtai, there was no reason why only Emperor Chengtai could use it, right?

It wasn't just them who thought so; the reporters and the crowd at the scene clearly thought so too. Everyone could hear the suppressed exclamations and excitement from the crowd that contained the words "Yongzheng."

The person in mid-air opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping across the surroundings as if he could see through everything. An invisible pressure emanated from him, and the scene fell silent.

"Time flies so fast, a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye..." Landis sighed softly, leaving behind a wisp of spiritual energy. It was really not easy, the final act had taken so long to be staged.

"Huh?" Sensing being watched, Landis's eyes sharpened, as if piercing through time and space, meeting the gaze of the person outside the celestial curtain. "The Three Thousand Worlds?"

"What do you mean? He can see us?"

People from different times and spaces outside the celestial canopy felt a mixture of fear and excitement. Meeting the eyes of the person within, their emotions were indescribably complex. Yet, they all harbored some strange speculations about his identity.

"Are you the Yongzheng Emperor?" a reporter boldly asked. Landis raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I don't want anyone to remember me a hundred years from now..."
