Chapter 297 The sinister tyrant took them hostage to threaten the mastermind



When Si Sangsang heard this, he quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Come with me and spit these unlucky words out!"

Si Sangsang glared at her. "We're just visiting the imperial mausoleum. What could go wrong? Absolutely nothing will happen. How could a bunch of ghost soldiers show up and eat you?"

When Zhu Wuhuan heard the word "ghost", he shuddered.

She looked at Si Sangsang helplessly, "Mother, please don't mention the word 'ghost'. I'm most afraid of it..."

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the two children sleeping obediently in their cribs. "I also hope that the Emperor and I can return safely and raise Ah Qiong and Xiao'er ourselves. But before heading to a dangerous place, I can't help but worry about what might happen, so I'm saying this upfront."

Si Sangsang frowned and looked at Zhu Wuhuan.

He's afraid of ghosts and has two babies to take care of, so why would he go to the imperial mausoleum?

After thinking for a moment, she said, "You and Long'er stay here, I'll go to the imperial mausoleum to take a look. If it's really dangerous there, I, an old woman, don't mind losing my life, but you and Long'er are still young——"

Zhu Wuhuan interrupted her, "No, mother, the emperor now has the ability to read minds, and I have the system. If we go together and encounter some minor troubles, we can handle it. But you have nothing now. If you go to the imperial mausoleum and really encounter danger, how can you cope with it?"

Si Sangsang thought about it and agreed.

Apart from the light body technique she exchanged for, she no longer had any other skills.

She looked at Zhu Wuhuan anxiously, "Then why don't you and Long'er not go? The main system tells us to complete the mission obediently, so we should do it obediently. After completing the mission, can't we just enjoy life? No matter whether the person behind this is our acquaintance Ying Tianjiao, or the founding emperor of Daning you mentioned, Ying Tianjiao, or they are the same person, what does it have to do with us? We are just taskers, there is no need to risk exploring!"

The more she talked about it, the more she felt that this was feasible.

She used herself as an example.

"Look, even though my family encountered an accident in modern times and the main system hid the truth from me, making it seem cold and inhumane, after I completed the mission, it didn't give me less than the 3,000 points it promised, nor did it erase my soul. I'm still here with you, right?"

She stroked Zhu Wuhuan's cheek.

"So, you and Long'er don't need to explore those things. Just complete your mission well, take your 3,000 points, and live a carefree life with Long'er. No matter what the main system's purpose is in changing Daning's history, and no matter whether it will send other time travelers in the future, it has nothing to do with us anymore."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Wuhuan expectantly, waiting for him to promise her not to take the risk.

But Zhu Wuhuan shook his head and did not agree to her.

Zhu Wuhuan smiled and said, "Opportunities always coexist with dangers. Where there are dangers, there may naturally be opportunities. Before going, who knows whether it is a danger or a good opportunity? Mother, since I knew there was something wrong with the imperial mausoleum, I definitely wanted to go and take a look. What if there are some valuable treasures there, right?"

Si Sangsang still disagreed.

She said, "If you really want to go, you can wait three to five years until Xiao'er and Aqiong are a little older."

Zhu Wuhuan still shook his head.

She is a very curious person, and if I don't go, she will always think about it.

Besides, it may not be dangerous.

Perhaps she and the emperor will return safely with good news.

Seeing that she refused to listen, Si Sangsang didn't want to persuade her any further.

This is probably just like when she insisted on going back to the modern era. At that time, Zhu Huaining also advised her to stay in Daning, but she refused to listen and insisted on having her own way.

When a person is determined to do something, no one can persuade him.

Unless you tie someone up.

However, this is obviously impossible.

Si Sangsang sighed and gently hugged Zhu Wuhuan, "Okay, then you can go. Mother will guard the rear for you and wait for you to return with good news."

Zhu Wuhuan nodded, "Thank you, mother."

...at the same time.

After Feng Changye and his guests had drunk some wine, he announced something:

"The little prince and princess are one month old. This is a happy event for the royal family. Tomorrow, I will take the queen to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors. My dear ministers, please accompany me."

Civil and military officials looked at the emperor on the high throne with some surprise.

The emperor was going to worship his ancestors, but he had to bring outsiders like them with him?

It seems that this was never done when the previous emperor was alive...

Although everyone was puzzled, no one objected.

They immediately stepped out and followed the emperor's orders.

Taking the seat, Feng Changye glanced at everyone.

He knew that everyone was wondering why he brought unrelated people with him to worship his ancestors.

He wanted to provide an extra layer of protection for him and Huanhuan.

He and Huanhuan went to the imperial mausoleum together. If they really encountered any danger, there would be other people in the royal family who survived, such as the Sixth Imperial Uncle and the Third Imperial Brother. It was highly likely that the continuation of the Daning Dynasty would not be affected. Therefore, the person behind the scenes would not care about his and Huanhuan's lives and would just send them to their deaths.

But if he and Huanhuan took all the civil and military officials with them, the people behind the scenes would probably have some concerns.

Because these are all the key ministers in the Daning court, the core figures in whether the Daning court can survive. If these ministers are wiped out along with them, then Daning will immediately fall into chaos, and rebels will rise up in various places to seize Daning's territory and change the dynasty.

Historically, the Dazhao dynasty established by Xue Meng more than 20 years later was not recognized by the people behind the scenes, and naturally, dynasties established by others would not be recognized by the people behind the scenes.

Therefore, the person behind the scenes could easily kill him and Huanhuan, but would not let the ministers die together and shake the foundation of Daning.

Thinking of this, Feng Changye lowered his head with some guilt and picked up the wine glass.

He knew that he was gambling with the lives of his ministers by going to the imperial mausoleum with him, and he felt sorry for these ministers.

However, he wanted to know the purpose of the person behind the scenes, and what secrets were hidden in the imperial mausoleum. He no longer wanted to let a time traveler change the lives of his children...

When he raised his head, the guilt in his eyes had disappeared.

He raised his glass.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear ministers. This cup is my toast to you all."

The ministers were flattered.

How could the emperor toast them personally? This is not in accordance with etiquette!

But seeing that the emperor had already raised his glass, they did not dare to say anything else. They all picked up their glasses and raised them respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The king and his ministers drank together, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

After a while, Feng Changye guessed that the Queen and his mother had finished talking, so he asked the eunuch to invite his father-in-law and mother-in-law to meet the Queen.

Zhu Huaining and his wife brought Zhu Chengying and came to the back with smiles on their faces.

Si Sangsang had already returned to Shoukang Palace. When the couple entered the room, only Zhu Wuhuan and the two children were in the room.

Yu Wanning walked and laughed, "Empress, you let Chengying live in the palace for half a year, and he became wild. He just insisted on following us, and when he came, he ran to the back to see his good brother Da Ezi, as if he knew the whole place well."
