Chapter 45 The Charlatan Imperial Advisor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 03
After leaving the Imperial Garden, Yu Sheng strolled around the palace at a leisurely pace. Just as she was leaving, she happened to see Xie Weiyan being helped onto a carriage by Chief Eunuch An.
According to the plot that 888 transmitted earlier, this Prince Ning is anything but peaceful!
When Xie Hanzhou ascended the throne, he killed many princes and princesses. The princess who was spared was Xie Hanzhou's own sister.
This Prince Ning, among so many princes and princesses, has become a special case, which suggests he is no ordinary person.
Moreover, this is the protagonist of this world, while Xie Hanzhou, the tyrant, is naturally the number one villain on the protagonist's path.
The villains inevitably face the fate of becoming cannon fodder. According to the plot, the two fight fiercely for the protagonist, battling to the death.
Xie Weiyan not only wanted the throne, but also the protagonist's bottom, which ultimately caused immense suffering to the entire country, and even led to the country being conquered by an enemy state.
But in the end, with the help of the protagonist, who is also the crown prince of the enemy country, Xie Weiyan indirectly regained his country.
No, I'd like to ask you something.
We're saying you two are enemies, so how come you got a happy ending? So the people of the country are just a part of your two-person scheme?
After watching the plot, Yu Sheng felt as if her eyes were dirty.
Is it really normal for such a terrible plot and such a terrible main character to exist?
Oh, of course it's not normal, otherwise he and 888 wouldn't have come here.
888, who was released from the dark room, explained: "It's because the two of them are crazy, plus the villains' demands for the people who died in the country, that led to this whole thing."
"From this perspective, Xie Hanzhou is quite pitiful. The original owner wanted to seize his throne, and Prince Ning also wanted to seize his throne."
"Oh, by the way, Prince Ning just went to Xie Hanzhou and tried to accuse you of forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices, but Xie Hanzhou discovered his scheme."
"Hilarious! He hasn't even met the advisors who will help him in the future. How could he be a match for that tyrant Xie Hanzhou? Just because he's called a tyrant doesn't mean he's an idiot!"
Yu Sheng nodded noncommittally.
Indeed, Xie Hanzhou knew exactly what was going on!
Those ministers he had previously executed were either spies from enemy states that the late emperor had failed to expose, or corrupt officials who embezzled and formed cliques for personal gain.
However, since he didn't say it, and Xie Hanzhou did indeed have a bad temper, people naturally called him a tyrant, thinking that he took pleasure in killing.
However, there are some things that everyone knows, but sometimes, people naturally tend to blame others for the mistakes.
Therefore, Xie Hanzhou firmly sat on the throne of being called a tyrant.
However, what puzzled Yu Sheng was that the original owner was the biggest one in forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices, so why didn't Xie Hanzhou kill the original owner?
888: "Isn't it because the original owner was a charlatan who knew how to pretend? In addition, although the original owner wanted to rebel, he had begged for food before, so he would naturally think about the people. Plus, the original owner's personality was cautious and he was a bit timid."
Thinking that he would first outlive Prince Ning and then remove Xie Hanzhou from power, Xie Hanzhou would naturally turn a blind eye to his actions.
Yu Sheng could only say, "You dared to form cliques and prepare for rebellion, yet you're still a coward?"
From a distance, Xie Weiyan saw Yu Sheng and walked shakily toward her.
"So it's the Imperial Advisor. How have you been all this time?"
“I’m perfectly fine. Instead of worrying about me, Your Highness Prince Ning, you should worry about yourself,” Yu Sheng whispered in Xie Weiyan’s ear with a smile.
"What does the Imperial Preceptor mean by this?"
Xie Weiyan pretended to be confused, her puzzled expression seemingly genuine.
“Lord Ning knows exactly what I mean…” Yu Sheng patted his shoulder, then wiped his hands in disgust, threw the handkerchief down, and turned to leave.
Seeing his actions, Xie Weiyan was furious.
Back in the carriage at Prince Ning's residence, Xie Weiyan angrily swept the tea and snacks on the small table onto the ground.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Xie Weiyan lowered her voice and said through gritted teeth, "Why? Why does Yu Sheng look down on me? If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet the late emperor, he would probably be begging for food somewhere right now!"
What right does he have to look down on me? Does Yu Sheng even deserve it?! I am a member of the royal family, yet he dares to oppose me time and time again!
Xie Hanzhou is one thing, but who does he think he is! If I, Xie Weiyan, get that position, I will make Yu Sheng wish he were dead!
"Your Highness, please watch your words!"
The butler driving the car quickly leaned out to check the surroundings, and only felt much more at ease after confirming that there was no one around.
He helplessly advised, "Your Highness, this place is not like the Prince's mansion. If someone with ulterior motives were to overhear this... it could very well bring about your death!"
Xie Weiyan had calmed down a bit by now and naturally understood what the steward meant.
He nodded and said, "Then, Uncle Liu, let's go back to the Prince's Mansion first!"
******
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence is the closest residence to the Imperial Palace. Yu Sheng walked all the way to the Imperial Preceptor's Residence, which is in the style of a garden. The first thing that catches the eye is the rockery and fish pond in the courtyard, where several red koi carp are poking their heads out, which looks quite comical.
The original owner preferred quiet, and the courtyard was located at the deepest part of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, requiring one to pass through layers of bamboo forests to reach it.
Of course, the original owner's preference for quiet was just an act, simply to better fit his charlatan persona.
There is also a pavilion in the bamboo forest, on which a chessboard is placed.
Well, the chessboard was just for show; the original owner didn't know how to play chess at all. But that didn't stop the original owner from showing off, and he did so for so many years, fooling almost everyone.
There are even rumors circulating that the Imperial Preceptor is a celestial being reincarnated.
Yu Sheng could only say that the original owner had some skill in putting on airs, which really fooled people.
888 looked at the hot spring in the original owner's courtyard and clicked its tongue, saying, "The original owner really knows how to enjoy life. I've never been to a hot spring before. I want to go to a hot spring too!"
No, it's jealous!
Yu Sheng was shocked: "You can make this?"
888 held its head high, looking smug.
"Of course," Yu Sheng said, then felt a tickle on her scalp, and then saw a stick figure make a pose by the hot spring, jumping in with a "whoosh" sound.
Yu Sheng: "..."
He truly never expected that 888 could emerge from the mental sea.
888 is swimming on its back in the hot spring with a blade of grass in its mouth.
"This is fucking comfortable!"
Yu Sheng felt that 888 was becoming more and more unrestrained. He would say something to anyone he didn't like, and sometimes he even dared to talk back to him.
888: I'm going to get beaten up anyway, so I might as well enjoy myself first.
"Just don't get caught."
"Okay, okay," 888 waved her hand impatiently. "Instead of worrying about whether I'll be found out, you should worry about whether your husband will fall for someone else!"
Yu Sheng: These words sound so familiar, I really want to sew its mouth shut.
