Chapter 1977 [Shangxie] Royal Family

Chang Sun Chi opened his eyes.

"Call Qingze back and have the Xuanyi Guards find a chance to take her out during the banquet."

Lian Tang took the order and left.

The man slowly stood up, turned around and walked deeper into the hall.

The crimson robe unfolded in a seductive and cold arc in the darkness, brushing across the cold, hard and gorgeous ground, and spreading all the way into deeper darkness.

Midnight.

The moon is at its zenith.

In the dead silence, Xia Fuyi heard a light knock under the bed.

She opened her eyes, silently got out of bed, slightly opened the curtain and took a look outside.

Outside the bedroom, a dark figure was reflected on the layers of doors.

That was the person who was responsible for guarding her.

But the palace doors were closed several times, so even the slightest sound should not be heard.

She knocked lightly on the bed in response, and the bed was quickly turned up, revealing Lian Tang's dark head from underneath.

Xia Fuyi sat cross-legged on the footstool, looking as if she was going to have a long conversation all night.

Lian Tang was frightened for a moment, but soon relaxed and said in a low voice,

"Ask me anything you want to know. I can't come here every day."

Xia Fuyi nodded and began to ask questions with a serious face, also speaking in a very low voice.

"First, tell me about the relationship between him and Changsun Qingzhao."

"You don't even know this?"

Lian Tang looked at her in surprise, then sneered.

"What else could it be? The Prince Regent, Changsun Qingzhao, is the exiled brother of the late emperor, and thus your majesty's uncle. He possesses the inherent ambition inherent in a royal family. He initially became a member of the royal family, but he was unwilling to remain an idle prince without real power. He lurked for years, secretly developing his own power, and ultimately murdered his own brother. He cut off a large number of the late emperor's allies, gained control of the entire court, and without a single word, he had the entire empire firmly in his grasp. By the time your majesty returned triumphantly from the border, he had the final say."

Although Lian Tang said it simply, Xia Fuyi still heard a sense of fear in his words.

The struggles between royal families are not like ordinary fights in the martial arts world. Those undercurrents can instantly destroy a well-established aristocratic family.

But no one knows how Changsun Chi, who was still young at that time and had just lost his parents, survived in an environment surrounded by wolves.

Xia Fuyi was stunned for a moment, then quickly seized the opportunity to continue asking,

"Then what's wrong with his illness? I saw him drinking every day a few days ago and he didn't take any medicine. Is he cured now?"

Lian Tang gritted his teeth slightly upon hearing this, and an expression of extreme hatred appeared on his pale face.

Xia Fuyi's heart sank when she saw this, and soon she heard Lian Tang's low voice, gnashing his teeth.

"What disease?! That's not a disease at all! That's simply..."

Just as he was about to speak, Lian Tang suddenly shut up, hit himself in frustration, then looked up at Xia Fuyi and said seriously,

"Don't ask anymore. It's useless. His Majesty told me not to tell you. If he finds out, I'll be dead."

Xia Fuyi narrowed her eyes and looked at him silently for a while, then said,

"Are you loyal to him?"

Lian Tang's face flushed red as if he was humiliated.

"Of course! Your Majesty is not only my benefactor but also my master! I have long since sworn to be loyal to him for the rest of my life!"

"Since you are loyal to him, you should tell me everything I want to know."
