The emperor leaned back in his chair dejectedly and waved his hands weakly: "It's useless, they won't believe it. People always want to believe what they see with their own eyes and what they think is the truth. They don't care whether this 'truth' they think is true or false.
And Mu Bai and the others, they have become estranged from me over the years because of Yin Yi's matter. Haven't you noticed that over the years, the two brothers only came to the palace when their mother was away, and only came back to Dixing when they visited Yin Yi or Bai Zhuo and the others. Have they ever returned to Dixing Palace for me, their father?
In their hearts, I no longer seem like their father."
The captain of the guards, who had never seen the emperor in this state, was panicked for a moment and hurried forward to comfort the emperor, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.
Because, although what the emperor said was cruel, it was all true.
Now, those people on the Internet have long wishfully believed that His Majesty the Emperor is the insider, so no matter what response His Majesty the Emperor makes now, it is a cover-up in their eyes.
Therefore, netizens’ comments almost all hope that Marshal Bai Zhuo and Prince Mu Bai can personally investigate this matter.
In their eyes, Marshal Bai Zhuo is the former queen's biological brother, and Mu Bai and the others are the former queen's children. They will definitely not protect the current queen, and they will be more careful in the investigation.
"Your Majesty, how about you talk to Marshal Bai and the Crown Prince?"
The captain of the guards spoke carefully, "After all, Marshal Bai grew up with you, and he knows you well. And the eldest prince and his men were all mature enough when the former queen passed away. They certainly wouldn't wrongly accuse you like those people who are spreading nonsense online."
"Oh......"
The emperor sneered helplessly, "If it were anything else, it would be fine, but this time, it concerns their relatives. Do you really think they can still think rationally?
Maybe they, like those netizens, think I'm a participant and want to kill me."
Looking at the emperor who seemed to have aged several decades in an instant, the captain of the guards felt uncomfortable, but he really couldn't think of any words to comfort him. He could only stand silently beside the emperor and accompany him.

Ever since she stabbed Hei Yu in court, Jiang Wan has been concentrating on taking care of her baby at home. When she has nothing to do, she does prenatal yoga and goes to the courtyard outside to look at the flowers, fruit trees, and the vegetables she grows.
Seeing those plants growing well, Jiang Wan couldn't help feeling a little guilty. These were the ones she wanted to plant, but she had only taken care of them during the period when they were just planted. The rest of the time, it was Xiaopang who took care of them.
Now Xiaopang has become a butler robot that is proficient in all kinds of skills, and has also accepted many students.
"Wanwan, the fruit is cut and is drying outside. You should come inside and rest."
Xiaopang stood at the door with a plate of fresh cut fruits to greet Jiang Wan.
"Hey, here I come."
Jiang Wan patted the dirt off his hands, slowly stood up and walked into the house.
"Wanwan, go slowly. I just picked these fruits, washed them, and cut them. They are so fresh."
"Thank you, Fatty."
Jiang Wan took the fruit plate, sat on the sofa and ate slowly. Xiaopang was worried that Jiang Wan would be bored, so he kindly helped her turn on the computer so that she could watch TV series.
Looking at the fat boy who was busy working like a little bee, Jiang Wan took a bite of the apple and sighed. It is true that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Life is so comfortable now.
She felt so comfortable that she almost wanted to give up, although she felt that she had been giving up since she came to StarCraft.
Since coming to the interstellar space, I have been protected like a fragile item. Every day I don’t have to think about accepting missions or how to complete them. I don’t have to think about who my target is today and how to complete the mission as soon as I open my eyes.
The easy and comfortable life made Jiang Wan feel that all the fighting and killing in the past were things of the previous life.
Jiang Wan lowered her head and touched her belly, feeling the fetus playfully interacting with her in her belly, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
If someone had told her two years ago that she would no longer have endless missions to take on, endless people to kill, and that she would have a husband who doted on her without any principles, and that she would have children who were related to her by blood.
She would definitely think that person is sick.
Being a mercenary is actually not as cool as it is shown on TV, nor is it as easy to make money as written in novels. You can earn money with just a few clicks, and after earning enough, you can quit if you want to. You can take the money you earned and find a place you like and live a carefree life.
In fact, mercenaries earn money by risking their lives. Although they will receive a considerable commission for each order, their expenses are also very considerable. After deducting the cost they spend to complete the task, the money they actually earn is negligible.
Also, as mercenaries, they sometimes know some unknown secrets of their employers. As mercenaries, they must abide by the principles of mercenaries and must not disclose the secrets of their employers at will.
But once they leave the mercenary team, they will face endless hunting by their employers, revenge from the family and friends of the targets they have killed, and even their former partners may be hunting them down.
Jiang Wan once encountered such an order. A senior mercenary was tired of the daily life of fighting and killing, so he wanted to quit this line of work and live an ordinary life with his wife and children.
However, in the end, Jiang Wan received news that the senior's entire family had been killed.
The one who bought their lives was the son of one of his previous targets. In order to avenge his father, when he learned that he had quit the mercenary gang, he immediately offered a high reward for the lives of his entire family.
Jiang Wan still remembers what one of her friends said when she heard the news.
"This senior has been in this business for so many years, how can he still be so naive? In our business, once you enter, there is no way out except death.
He actually still wants to live a peaceful life with his wife and children. How naive and ridiculous. People like us are destined to be lonely all our lives. We can't have anyone we like or have children. If we do, we will have weaknesses and death will not be far away.
