Chapter 115 Fairness
......
[The mansion was unaware of the Moon Goddess's concerns. He just stayed in the side hall as usual, as if the Moon Goddess had never been there.
Jin Luoyin didn't know whether she had discovered any traces of the Moon Goddess's visit, and she always said some strange things in front of the government.
But when the government asked her again, she started to act stupid and ignorant, as if she was not the one who said those words before.
The government official was also a patient person. He said he would wait for Jin Luoyin to reveal his true identity, and he was really imprisoned in a side hall for several years.
During this period, he didn't have any thought of escaping, which even Jin Luoyin found strange.
"Don't you have any thoughts of going out?" Jin Luoyin pulled off the bedding on the bed and instructed Fu Fang, who was sweeping the floor, to bring up new mattresses.
Fu Fang skillfully put the broom aside and then found new bedding to spread on the bed.
He asked in return, "Why do you want to go out? You're here serving me food and drink every day. I don't know how happy I am."
Jin Luoyin threw the bedding aside, sat down on the chair and started drinking water frantically.
Jin Luoyin took a long breath and said, "People outside have started to suspect that I have a mistress because I deliver supplies here every day. If you don't leave now, I won't be able to explain myself."
Fu Fang tilted his head curiously: "You are a tyrant, and you are afraid of this?"
Jin Luoyin: "Of course I'm afraid. Don't you know that those censors in the court are watching me every day? They'll fly over me like flies if I make any move."
"I'm not afraid of flies, but they are annoying. I'm annoyed by them, so I don't want to bother them."
Jin Luoyin complained about her grievances, but the government officials didn't believe a single word of it.
When Jin Luoyin ascended the throne as a woman a few years ago, many people opposed it, including some from wealthy and powerful families.
At that time, Jin Luoyin had just ascended the throne and his position was not yet stable, yet he dared to kill those people.
Every day, there are at least eight hundred people who die at the hands of the rich and powerful.
At that time, Jin Luoyin was not afraid, but now she is afraid just because of a few words from those insignificant censors?
He didn't believe that this was Jin Luoyin's true words, but if Jin Luoyin didn't want to say it, even if he continued to ask, Jin Luoyin would not explain it clearly.
Fu Fang chuckled, "Didn't you say you liked me?"
"Why, I'm willing to stay here with you forever, but you're still unwilling?"
Jin Luoyin held his forehead with his hand, as if he had not expected that his words would be remembered by the government for so long.
She smiled and said, "Through my growth over the past few years, I have deeply realized that to love someone, you must learn to let go."
"I love you, so I want to give you freedom! I love you, so I want you to see a wider sky!"
Jin Luoyin walked to the front of the hall door, stretched out her hand and pushed it open. Sunlight instantly poured into the hall, making it several degrees brighter.
Fu Fang looked against the light and saw Jin Luoyin standing in front of the hall with his back to the light, making a goodbye gesture towards Fu Fang.
She said in a loud voice: "Go, my god who should be roaming the heavens and the earth. After all, you belong to this world, not to me alone."
Upon hearing this, Fu Fang walked to the front of the palace gate with a serious expression, looked at Jin Luoyin who was standing beside him with a heavy face, and then looked at the sky that was close at hand.
He smiled, bent down, and said to Jin Luoyin's incredulous gaze:
"But your god doesn't want to travel around the world. He only wants to bend down for a little believer like you. He's willing to stay in this little world for you."
After saying that, under Jin Luoyin's dazed gaze, the mansion reached out and slowly closed the door of the hall, and the hall fell into darkness again.
In the darkness, Fu Fang said with a smile on his face, "So, you don't really like me at all, right?"
The government couldn't see the expression on Jin Luoyin's face, but they could hear a hint of confusion in her voice: "Why don't you leave?"
The government didn't expect that she wanted to leave so badly, so they simply proposed a deal: "You answer my questions first, and then I'll answer yours."
"So, if you don't like me, why did you keep me in the first place? And why..."
The government official considered his words carefully, and finally said tactfully, "You're still using such extreme means to keep me here?"
Jin Luoyin pondered for a moment and actually returned to the question from the government.
"Because you are a variable." Without waiting for the government to continue asking questions, Jin Luoyin analyzed all his original thoughts.
"Your time of descent was a perfect coincidence. At that time, I had just ascended the throne and was proclaimed emperor. Being a woman and becoming emperor was already against common sense and ethics, so it was very difficult."
"When I finally overcame countless difficulties and dangers and sat in that position, you, a man, my nominal father, suddenly appeared, and you are also a god with thousands of believers."
"You can't imagine how many people urged me to give up the throne to you. Even if others didn't say anything, I know what they were thinking."
In the darkness, Fu Fang suddenly saw Jin Luoyin's eyes light up, filled with ambition and desire, and extremely beautiful.
"But why? That was clearly the position I fought for, it's my honor. Why did you take it away so easily?"
"I am unwilling, and I cannot willingly give up the throne."
The government understood. "So you chose to imprison me? To make me disappear from those people's sight so that you can enjoy the fruits of your victory alone?"
The government still had another question: "You could have just told me your reason for doing that, so why did you say you liked me?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Luoyin frowned and looked towards the government. The look in her eyes was as if she was looking at a naughty child who made unreasonable demands.
"How could I possibly tell you directly? You and I, although we are father and daughter in name only, I have never spent any time with you and I don't even know you. How could I possibly tell you about my predicament?"
"How is that any different from handing you a knife that's meant to stab me?"
"As for why I lied, it was just something I said casually. How could I have known you would remember it for so long?"
Fu Fang touched his nose. He didn't expect that the thing he had been struggling with for so long was just a casual remark by Jin Luoyin.
Jin Luoyin was unaware of the government's dilemma. "Okay, I've answered your question. Now you can tell me why you don't want to leave, right?"
Fu Fang: "I think there is something you haven't told me yet."
Jin Luoyin was a little anxious: "Just now you said we should be fair. I have already answered your question, so you should answer mine too!"
Fu Fang: "Yes, my answer is that I feel you still have something to tell me, so I don't want to leave."
