Chapter 491 A Mess
Yi Zhen then asked, "How did the emperor discover that Han Ruoyu had colluded with officials to illegally sell firearms?"
Chu Liuzheng said: "If I remember correctly, it should have been discovered by the secret guards and the Jinyiwei together."
Yi Zhen: "..."
[System, is the secret guard intelligence network in the original world line so powerful? ]
[No? Then how did they find out?]
[Can't find it? ? ? You're really bringing shame to your world.]
Yi Zhen unilaterally ended the conversation with his own system and continued to ask Chu Liuzheng: "Then why did the Second Prince of Xixia marry the Princess of Goryeo?"
This fake princess was supposed to enter Xiao Jingfan's harem, but later she secretly killed two princes and a princess.
"Um... this matter is rather complicated." Chu Liuzheng tried to keep it short. "Basically, Hua... Wei Mingliang plotted against the emperor but failed, and ended up being plotted against himself, suffering a bitter loss at the hands of the emperor."
Yi Zhen: "..."
This really doesn't make sense at all!
No wonder the system can’t issue tasks!
He wiped his face, suppressed his urge to curse, and continued to ask, "How did Yin Lanci die?"
"This matter is even more complicated," Chu Liuzheng said. "To put it simply, Yin Lanci angered the emperor, and the emperor personally went out of the palace to arrest him, and then worked with everyone else to kill him."
“…”
Yi Zhen: "Who is this master?"
Chu Liuzheng counted on his fingers: "Including Lord Lu, Doctor Feng, General Huang, Tong Niang, City Lord Jiang..."
"Wait!" Yi Zhen interrupted, "Let me ask you a question. Why did Jiang Yao join you?"
"We thought she was doing something bad in Longkou Town, so we arrested her and questioned her." Chu Liuzheng spread his hands. "Later, we found out it was a misunderstanding. We became friends after getting to know each other."
Yi Zhen was dumbfounded and sighed for a long time: "Oh my god!"
According to the original world line, Jiang Yao should have died in Longkou Town and became the nourishment for Yin Lanci to raise the Netherworld Gu.
The people who should die are not dead, and the people who should live are dead. It would be strange if the world line is not in chaos! It would be strange if the system can issue tasks!
He murmured, "How on earth did I know that the butterfly flapped its wings?"
The whole world is in chaos!
Why aren't such talents in their company? !
Seeing that he looked dazed, Chu Liuzheng asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay." Yi Zhen stared at the rippling water, his eyes flickering with colorful lights. "Is what you just said true?"
Chu Liuzheng blinked: "What good would it be for me to lie to you?"
【System, lie detector! 】
[The truth! It’s actually the truth. Why is it the truth?!]
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Brother Xiaoyao seems very disappointed that I told him the truth. Does he like being lied to so much?]
Under the system's urging, Yi Zhen had no choice but to continue asking: "How was Qianchi Cliff destroyed?"
"Brother Eleven set the fire." Chu Liuzheng felt that his actions on the mountain were insignificant, so he simply said, "Those monsters that escaped happened to run into His Majesty leading the army up the mountain, and they were all destroyed."
Yi Zhen stared at her: "Since the incident with the eldest princess, have you taken the initiative to intervene?"
[At most, I was just a bystander, unlucky enough to be involved in the incident. I didn't actively intervene in the things I just mentioned.]
Chu Liuzheng shook his head decisively, "No."
【System, lie detection.】
[Another truth! System, is your lie detector module truly working? I've been gathering information from the palace for so long, and she's the most suspicious!]
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Tsk, what a fellow countryman! I'm glad I didn't tell you I have a system too.]
Yi Zhen argued with the system for a while to no avail. He turned to look at Chu Liuzheng and asked hopefully, "Has anyone special appeared around the emperor?"
"Special? Not really." Chu Liuzheng looked up at the sky and recalled, "If you look closely, you are the most special one."
Yi Zhen felt a tightness in his chest, "...Except me."
"No," Chu Liuzheng confirmed, "There have never been any strange people around the emperor."
Yi Zhen: "..."
What went wrong? !
Chu Liuzheng looked at him and said, "You've asked me so many questions. Can I ask you a few questions as well?"
Yi Zhen: "Ask."
Chu Liuzheng cleared his throat and said, "Can Feng Jing and Qin Shu be married?"
Yi Zhen asked the system to check, looked at the answer and said, "No. The ending of the two of them is to be entangled for a lifetime, one never married, and the other never married."
Chu Liuzheng grasped the key point: "You mean, Doctor Qin also likes Doctor Feng?"
"I guess so." Yi Zhen said, "After the two of them experienced life and death together, Qin Shu's feelings for Feng Jing would change. However, the death of her mother has always been a knot in Qin Shu's heart, and Feng Jing refused to betray his master. They both had their own persistence, and they never became husband and wife until their death."
"It's actually like this." Chu Liuzheng sighed in his heart and couldn't help but light a candle for his friend's fruitless love.
Next time we meet, I'll try to persuade Dr. Feng again. It's too cruel to keep wanting for a lifetime without getting what you want.
She then asked, "What about Sugar Brother? How is he?"
"The son of Yin Lanci, his ending is..." Yi Zhen said slowly, "He sacrificed himself to end the hell of the living dead created by Yin Lanci and save the people from suffering."
Upon hearing this answer, Chu Liuzheng's heart skipped a beat, and Tang Ge'er's chubby little face flashed before his eyes.
[The mother's sins will be repaid by the son. Now that Yin Lanci is dead, Tang Ge'er's life should be safe, right?]
[Saving the people from disaster?... If Tang Geer were to study medicine with Doctor Feng, that would also be a disguised way of saving the people from disaster, right? Hey, fate is such a magical thing.]
"I've told you too much, the system is protesting." Yi Zhen endured the system's nagging and urged, "If you have anything else to ask, ask quickly."
"Oh, okay." Chu Liuzheng said hurriedly, "I want to know whether the Queen Mother will stand against the Emperor. What will be her fate?"
Hearing this question, Yi Zhen was stunned and tilted his head to look at her deeply.
Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but touch his nose when he was looked at by him, "What's wrong? Can't I ask this question?"
"Can I ask?" Yi Zhen retracted his gaze. Spots of light falling from the gaps between the leaves danced on his delicate skin. He spoke slowly, "In the original world line, Concubine Xie gave birth to a prince in the eighth year of Shunguang. He was the fourth son of Emperor Shunguang."
"The Fourth Prince was foolish and disliked by Emperor Shunguang. To consolidate the Xie family's position, in the 23rd year of Shunguang's reign, the Empress Dowager and the Xie family conspired to poison Emperor Shunguang, intending to turn him into a fool and support the Fourth Prince's ascension to the throne."
"Emperor Shunguang discovered this conspiracy and, in a rage, exterminated the entire Xie family. The Empress Dowager died of anger in Wanshou Palace, her eyes etched in her memory. Emperor Shunguang was accused of matricide and condemned by scholars across the country. Xixia..."
Yi Zhen suddenly stopped and put his hands on his temples. "I can't say any more. My head will explode from the noise of the system."
Chu Liuzheng was listening attentively when it suddenly stopped.
What happened to Western Xia?
"I'm leaving first. I'll talk to you another day." Yi Zhen quickly put away his fishing rod, picked up the carp that Chu Liuzheng had just given him, and said goodbye.
