The confidants were full of questions.
No, sister, what are you trying to do now that things have come to this? Hurry up and force Fang Congyun to commit suicide, then take the princess hostage and rule the world!
But they could never guess what a heartbroken, love-struck person might do.
Fang Congyun apologized with a face full of remorse, and went on to talk about the past, also saying that he had no choice in the matter, which moved Jian Xiaoyu.
She was moved!!!
The instant she let go, the hidden guards acted swiftly and snatched the hostage from their hands.
What followed was a bloodbath.
Even when Jian Xiaoyu was subdued, she still held onto hope for Fang Congyun, until she realized she had been deceived again.
But it was all too late.
Fang Zhiyi listened to Xiao Hei's description while she was busy working, and her face was beaming with joy.
"So, Jian Xiaoyu, once she left Fang Congyun, immediately transformed into a strong woman, but her weakness is that she can't bear to see her ex-lover."
"This is really hard to understand." Xiao Hei felt like he had watched a terrible movie.
"It's not hard to understand. There are many such scenes in movies, and reality is sometimes even more outrageous than movies."
"That makes sense."
"But now we need to speed things up... I really didn't expect that even after all this, Fang Congyun could still embark on the path to becoming emperor again. Tsk tsk, the way of heaven is truly outrageous."
Sure enough, a little over a month later, news spread throughout the land that Fang Congyun, with the princess's support, had married into the royal family and become emperor.
What followed was a purge, with some powerful families who opposed Fang Congyun being massacred.
To consolidate his power, Fang Congyun established an agency directly under the emperor's control, named the Supervisory Bureau. Its members were all fighters of the seventh rank or above, and their role was to monitor all parts of the world and report any abnormalities to Fang Congyun immediately.
"By the way, what's Fang Congyun's skill level now?"
Xiao Hei pondered for a moment: "Close to the ninth rank."
"Wow, that's awesome."
"Don't be fooled by his constant activity in the capital; he inexplicably breaks through bottlenecks every time he faces danger... That's just how the story goes, there's no way to explain it."
Fang Zhiyi frowned: "This guy is no pushover."
The guy he was talking about also uttered three words at the same time, one after another: "Fang! Zhi! Yi!"
His men captured his beloved second uncle and the other members of the Fang family, who were all imprisoned in the dungeon and tortured along with Jian Xiaoyu.
However, when Fang Congyun was making his threats, a patriarch of a powerful family who was also imprisoned there revealed a secret.
"Your elder brother is not dead! That corpse wasn't Fang Zhiyi's! The late emperor knew that, and I know it too!"
Fang Congyun's thoughts instantly returned to that time, when that family was in dire straits. He returned to the palace, pondered for a day and a night, and finally pieced together the truth he could guess.
Fang Zhiyi is the one who was secretly pushing things along!
Fang Congyun's anger and hatred began to burn fiercely.
But where is this older brother hiding?
The two inspectors complained all the way to Yicheng.
"This place is awful, the roads are terrible, and it's all wooded!"
"Stop complaining, it's just that we're not good enough."
