Xiao Ce's body lay beside Xue Wanqiu, his eyes full of unwillingness.
In the capital, Fang Zhiyi stood with his hands behind his back, directing the fourth brother's work. He said that the fourth brother needed to make more preparations for the future, so he directly brought him in to handle the affairs. However, due to the expansion of the territory, the affairs would never be completed. The fourth brother dreamed of mountains of documents every day.
Xiao Hei circled down from the sky and burped.
"Is it delicious?" Fang Zhiyi took a look at it.
Xiao Hei shook his head: "It's just a soul, but Xue Wanqiu's soul has a bitter taste."
"You want to run away after all that nonsense? There's no such thing as that." Fang Zhiyi snorted.
In the 17th year of the Xin Dynasty, Fang Zhiyi announced that he would pass the throne to his fourth brother, and then ran away. No one knew where he went. Even the imperial guards and spies could not find his whereabouts. The country could not be without a king for a day, so the ministers strictly abided by Fang Zhiyi's last decree and placed the fourth brother on the throne.
The fourth brother cursed Fang Zhiyi and wanted to find the next person to take over, but the eldest and second brothers had already known that this job was not easy, so they simply did not come back. The eldest brother also asked someone to bring a lot of rare things to the fourth brother as a gift, and said that he would give him the management of any land he conquered from the wild people in the future, which made the fourth brother very angry.
It wasn't until he was in his forties or fifties, when he had just arranged for the crown prince to handle court affairs, that he had the opportunity to board the warship to the other side of the ocean. It was his first time setting foot on unfamiliar land, and the fourth brother felt like crying.
But from a distance he seemed to see a familiar figure, which disappeared in a flash.
"hiss..."
The accompanying general asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"I think I saw the third brother." The fourth brother rubbed his eyes, "I think I saw it wrongly."
He gritted his teeth and said, "If I find him, I will make him go back and put his body back in place!"
The general muttered that he had never seen an emperor who was always thinking about giving the throne to someone else, but when he saw the natives approaching from afar, the general waved his hand and his soldiers raised their muskets.
Yin Tao never saw her "predecessor" again. She had no goals. Her happiest thing every day was to travel around with the eldest princess. She also tried to open a royal academy and received strong support from the Queen Mother.
"My son, you are such a good concubine, and he ran away!" The empress dowager would get angry whenever she talked about Fang Zhiyi. Fortunately, although the fourth son was not her biological son, he still respected her as the empress dowager.
Yin Tao laughed, she didn't dare to make the fake play real with her senior, it was too scary.
The following year, a local tourist county received a report from villagers that a murderer had been discovered.
The police rushed to evacuate the tourists first, and then caught a madman in tattered clothes who was holding a human head.
No one recognized that it was the one who had plotted rebellion.
On the night he was thrown into prison, Wei Lin hanged himself in the cell. The local authorities were afraid of taking responsibility and reported it overnight. Fortunately, the prince was kind and did not blame them for failing to take good care of him. He just asked them to bury him properly.
Yin Tao lived and died before leaving this world. She wanted to meet her senior, but she never got her wish.
