Chapter 192 Historical Observation
"presumptuous!"
According to the imperial guards, on that day, the emperor's loud voice shook the roof tiles.
Emperor Kangxi paced back and forth in the hall, hands on his hips, looking at his sons, nephews, and brothers who were all bowing their heads and not speaking. "Fine, fine, so he's the only outsider here, huh?"
"How dare you! How dare you hide such a huge matter from me! Huh?"
"I am Bao Cheng's father! Father! I am Bao Cheng's closest person!"
"Father, I'm going to argue with you if you say that..."
"Shut up!"
Kangxi angrily rebuked him, and his brothers looked at Yinzhen as if he were a brave warrior. They thought, "He's got a head of steel! He dares to provoke his father at a time like this."
Yinti... Yinti lowered his head indignantly. It was true, even if Father Emperor was angry, he couldn't distort the truth. Second Brother was clearly the one who was closest to and liked the most!
Can't you tell who's the most favored in this family?
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that his veins were throbbing, but now was not the time to dwell on that. He tried to remain calm and asked in a deep voice, "So, after all this time of research, what results have you come up with?"
The people in the hall looked at each other, and in the end, it was Yinzhen and Yinsi, who had first discovered the problem, who stepped forward to report.
"According to the testimonies of the other maids in the mansion, Zhang Xiao should have possessed Bi Xiao at the moment she died of a high fever and took her place, but she did not acquire Bi Xiao's original memories."
Following up on Yinzhi's words, Yinzhen said with a cold expression, "According to the scouts' reports, Zhang Xiao is probably not a Buddhist and does not know anything about Second Brother's situation, but she frequently inquires about Second Brother's news. I suspect that she is a mountain spirit who has not been out of the world for a long time and has been attracted by Second Brother's supernatural abilities."
Yinzhi stepped forward and continued, "Your Majesty and I have consulted numerous ancient texts, but we have not yet discovered her identity. We are afraid of alerting her, and we are unsure whether she is the only one in the capital acting suspiciously, so we have not taken any action."
As Kangxi listened, his brows furrowed, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest. The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense, and everyone held their breath, awaiting Kangxi's judgment.
"This matter should not be underestimated. Master Yinguang, Master Tianyi, and the shaman priest, come here!"
Kangxi's eyes were deep and unfathomable. Nothing could threaten Baocheng's safety, and for this reason, he could even summon the Buddhist master whom he had always been wary of.
Since that person isn't from the Buddhist community, it doesn't prevent him from using their strength against them. Presumably, the Buddhist community wouldn't be happy if their "Buddhist disciple" was coveted, right? Zhang Xiao absolutely cannot be allowed to live!
Just as everyone in the hall was waiting for the arrival of the masters from the three religions, a strange mechanical sound suddenly rang in their ears.
[Detection indicates that Emperor Kangxi, who holds power, harbors murderous intent towards observer Zhang Xiao; historical observation failure rate is 100%...]
What was that sound?
Kangxi suddenly looked up and found that everyone looked astonished.
Before they could speak, in their astonishment, a flash of light appeared before their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a spacious space. Three sides of the space were lined with sofas, and on the other side, a huge white curtain stood out prominently.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and surprise, a strange mechanical voice rang out from a loudspeaker.
[Welcome Aisin-Gioro Xuanye, Fuquan, Changning, Yinzhi, Yinzhen... Yinti, Changquan, and Manduhu to the Historical Observation Space. Please take your seats!]
"Where is this place? And what are you?!"
Yinzhi and his entourage shielded Kangxi behind them and questioned him sternly.
Please take a seat.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with Zhang Xiao?"
Yinzhi asked again. He hadn't forgotten the prompt he'd just heard, but the mechanical voice only repeated the words "Please take a seat."
Yin was unhappy. Unlike others, he didn't think so much. The only difference in the space was the curtain. He strode over and before Yin Tang could stop him, Yin reached out to pull down the curtain.
"You're playing tricks! Let me see where you're hiding!"
[Warning! Warning! First breach of observation space will be punished with electric shock!]
"ah!"
A jolt of electricity struck Yin, and he cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground.
"Tenth Brother!"
Everyone was worried, so Yin Tang and the others quickly stepped forward and pulled him away from the curtain.
Emperor Kangxi's face was grim as he asked in a cold voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Please take a seat.
The mechanical voice repeated this one sentence, which annoyed everyone. Yinzhi, unlike his usual gentle self, still gently advised, "Father, let's sit down and take a look first."
Kangxi nodded helplessly. He was powerless against the odds, and he wanted to see what this strange thing was up to by bringing them here.
The group quickly took their seats on the sofa.
At that moment, the curtain in front of us lit up, and several large characters appeared on it.
"Aisin-Gioro Yinreng's observation records?"
Chang Ning subconsciously read out the words on the curtain, and the next second he turned to look at Kangxi. Sure enough, his expression was even colder.
Yes, this is a historical observation space. In this time and space, we are here to observe Aisin-Gioro Yinreng.
"So, Zhang Xiao is the observer?"
Hearing the mechanical voice, Yin Zhi reacted differently and frowned as he pressed for an answer.
[That's right, Zhang Xiao is a historical observer from a thousand years in the future. He detected that the current supreme ruler, Aisin-Gioro Xuanye, harbors murderous intent towards him. The system estimates a 100% failure rate for this observation. To restore the truth of history, this observation space has been specially opened.]
"A thousand years from now?"
"Historical truth?"
The sentence contained so much information that no one knew which question to ask.
Kangxi astutely grasped the key words, which explained why Yinzhen and others were unaffected when they were merely supervising. But did his explicit intent to kill Zhang Xiao in the Qianqing Palace trigger this observation space?
A thousand years later, due to a great cataclysm, humanity left its home planet and survived on other planets...
A brief presentation of the changes a thousand years later began on the screen. The dazzling galaxies silenced everyone as they listened to the system's narration.
However, due to migration, humanity lost many historical records. In order to pursue historical truth, historical observation instruments were developed, and different observers went to different eras to observe the true history.
"Will the observation be successful?" Yinzhen asked coldly.
No, there will always be perceptive people like you who will spot the problem, causing the observation to fail.
Yinzhi clearly understood Yinzhen's meaning and followed up with, "Will this observation space be triggered every time?"
The system was silent for a moment before replying, "(No.)"
Kangxi stared intently at the curtain before him: "So, what makes the Qing Dynasty different? Or rather, what are you coveting in Baocheng?"
The system's words sounded fancy, but it was clear that his so-called observation history did not match the "Aisin Gioro Yinreng Observation Record" that appeared on the screen at the beginning, which was why the three Kangxi father and sons kept asking questions.
In response to Kangxi's question, the system immediately retorted, "It's not coveting, it's observing!"
What are you observing?
Aisin-Gioro Yinreng was the last crown prince in history, and also the most mysterious. The records about him are mostly destroyed, and he is shrouded in mythology.
[Whether it's metaphysics or science, our observations of him will influence the course of humanity's development for the next century. Therefore, this is a request from future generations: please help us deduce the correct historical truth.]
"Historical truth?"
