In a corner of Fengxian Hall where the candlelight could not reach, two tall figures stood there.
Every word of the conversation between the Emperor of Western Chu and the "old ancestor" reached their ears.
One of them was the Prince of Western Chu, Xu Shihuai. When he learned the truth about his son's stupidity, he never imagined that the culprit who caused his son to become stupid was actually his father.
The great tyrant stood aside, looking at the shocked eyes of Xu Shihuai beside him. He set his gaze on the Emperor of Western Chu who was kneeling and kowtowing desperately not far away, and could not help but snorted in his heart.
Kowtow to beg for life, pinch the child's fontanelle, this mediocre emperor really opened his eyes a lot.
After the Western Chu Emperor left, Xu Shihuai, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Regarding Yu'er's stupidity, I have never doubted my father..."
He had always thought Yu'er was born an idiot, but he never expected...
After hearing what Father said today, I never expected that Father would actually kowtow and ask for his life for the sake of so-called immortality...
Wanwan: [Yuer, who is Yuer? ]
[This name sounds familiar. Yu'er, Jingyu. I remember there was a villain named Xie Jingyu in the original story?]
Xie Jingyu, Xu Jingyu, I bet, the villain Xie Jingyu who appears later in the original story can’t be that idiot Xu Shihuai, the Crown Prince of Western Chu.
In the original story, after the Crown Prince was framed and killed, the old emperor also fell. Then, not long after becoming emperor, the fifth prince, Xu Jinglin, was beheaded by the protagonist. Although the original story doesn't mention the fate of the Crown Prince Xu Shihuai's young, mentally retarded son, it's easy to imagine that his fate was certainly not good.
The villain Xie Jingyu only appears in the later part of the original story, and is considered the last major obstacle for the male protagonist.
[The original text describes him as having a deep blood feud with the male protagonist Shen Junze. As for the deep blood feud, it basically means that Xie Jingyu was also a prince. When he was young, his country was destroyed by the male protagonist Shen Junze. Later, he was taken away from the palace by an old eunuch and then lived by begging.]
[He was later adopted by a general. When he grew up, he climbed to a high position step by step in order to seek revenge. He was also the most difficult obstacle for the male protagonist to dominate the world.]
Xiao Moqing listened to the little girl's thoughts and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
The foolish son of the Prince of Western Chu is so powerful that he can become the most difficult obstacle for the male protagonist in the future.
Xiao Moqing had just finished praising when he heard Wanwan say again:
[However, the hero is the hero. No matter how powerful the villain Xie Jingyu is, he is ultimately no match for the hero and is eventually killed by an arrow shot through the heart by Shen Junze.]
Xiao Moqing: "..."
The Tyrant: “…”
Wanwan: [However, since Xie Jingyu in the original text is the foolish son of Crown Prince Xu Shihuai, does that mean his foolishness can be cured?]
Can it be cured?!
Hearing this, Xiao Moqing was about to speak when he heard his father speak faster than him: "Since it is man-made, maybe it can still be cured."
"Treatment?" Xu Shihuai, the Crown Prince of Western Chu, raised his eyes and shook his head. "It's useless. The imperial physician has already seen it."
The Tyrant said: "Since..."
Xiao Moqing spoke first: "Since the child's fontanelle is damaged, why not let the imperial physician prescribe the right medicine from here?"
Xu Shihuai: “!!!”
Yeah, why didn't he think of that.

After the ancestor appeared in the sky late at night, the Emperor of Western Chu received three pieces of bad news.
The first bad news: not only was his damn fake son not dead, but his biological father was actually his "good" brother Xu Hui.
The second bad news: the two guys above him wanted to frame his own son, the crown prince.
The third piece of bad news: His favorite concubine, Concubine Zhen, turned out to be a demon!
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Seeing the Emperor of Western Chu coming out of the hall with a strange look on his face, the old eunuch beside him subconsciously asked.
Hearing this, the Emperor of Western Chu slowly came back to his senses, shook his head, and got into the sedan chair in fear.
"Lift the sedan chair--" The old eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the sedan chair.
Not long after they left, the Western Chu Emperor suddenly thought of something. He suddenly opened the curtain and said to the old eunuch, "Go to the Imperial Study."
The old eunuch was shocked when she heard this, fearing that her hearing was dulled by age. She asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to the Imperial Study? Then aren't you going to Concubine Zhen's place?"
The Western Chu Emperor said with a wandering look, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some memorials to approve."
Hearing this, the old eunuch's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
Your Majesty is going to the Imperial Study to review memorials at this time? Did he hear correctly?
On ordinary days, Your Majesty sometimes doesn't even attend the morning court, and now you actually remember to review memorials?
This is ancestor worship, is the ancestor appearing?
The old eunuch's name was Yuan Si, and he was considered an old man around the Emperor of Western Chu.
Yuan Si had been serving the Emperor of Western Chu since he was still the crown prince.
He also watched helplessly as the Emperor of Western Chu, who was a wise ruler when he was young, became a mediocre ruler as he grew old.
When Your Majesty was young, he often reviewed memorials in the Imperial Study until late at night. Now it seems like it was just yesterday.
The old eunuch Yuan Si never thought that he would be able to see His Majesty reviewing memorials. After all, His Majesty had been neglecting state affairs and indulging in beauty and the way to immortality in recent years.
Yuan Si thought that His Majesty was just in the mood to review the memorials, but what he didn't expect was that His Majesty actually reviewed them all night long.
The next morning, the Emperor of Western Chu, who had been reviewing memorials all night, fell asleep on his desk.
He was dreaming again in a daze, and he dreamed of his ancestors again.
This time, the ancestors in the dream did not point at his nose and beat him for being an unfilial son. Instead, they all touched his head kindly and praised him as a benevolent emperor. They said that when they went to the west in the future, they would take him to the Buddha.
The Emperor of Western Chu was very happy in his dream, but his happiness did not last long. The scene changed and he saw his most beloved Concubine Zhen, with her hands covered in blood, rushing towards him with bared teeth.
The Emperor of Western Chu was so frightened that he woke up from his dream. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Concubine Zhen's face right in front of him.
Concubine Zhen said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, please wake up..."
"ah--"
Before Concubine Zhen could finish her words, the Emperor of Western Chu pushed her to the ground for some unknown reason.
She didn't sit firmly for a moment and fell flat on her face, making close contact with the floor.
“Ouch—”
Concubine Zhen fell to the ground, covering her face. Her pitiful eyes sparkled with tears as she looked at the man and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
