Chapter 198 He Raised Himself Wrongly

The new emperor has been on the throne for three years. The imperial teacher is gone, and the trend of seeking immortality has been curbed. Everything is peaceful.

Until yesterday, just after the morning court, someone came to tell him that there were auspicious clouds hovering in the imperial temple. He finally figured out that it was someone from the immortal sect who brought his nephew home to see. Today is not a grand court. The emperor just sat comfortably in the study to review memorials, and the chief eunuch ran over again with a panicked look.

The emperor inexplicably felt that this news was not very good.

"Urgent report from the imperial mausoleum, saying that there was a heavy thunderstorm last night, and the mountain above the imperial mausoleum was charred and smoking."

Green smoke is coming out of the tomb of the true ancestor.

Yuan Qi rubbed his face worriedly, "Where's my nephew?"

"He went to General Xie's house last night and did not come back all night. He left the city early this morning. It seems that he went to find the emperor in the garden."

Yuan Qi became even more worried, "Isn't this a warning from God?"

The eldest eunuch hesitated and carefully served tea, "Or, let's find a master to take a look?"

Yuan Qi still had his hands on his face. Hearing this, he glanced at the eunuch who had followed him for a long time, "Do you think I'm my elder brother? Believe in those messy and evil things?"

"But... his return means that this mysterious thing is true?" The eunuch said in a low voice with his waist bent.

Yuan Qi's hand on the desk froze, then slowly moved away, taking a deep look at the eunuch, "What you said... does make sense."

Outside the city, in a carriage, Yuan Ye continued to spread himself like a rat cake. Lin Du and Wei Zhi scanned the entire capital to confirm that there was no spiritual cultivator's handiwork. At this moment, they were tired and drowsy. Only Ni Jinxuan kept her eyes open and looked at the scenery along the road.

The carriage was rare and clean for a while, but only for a while.

Everything in the secular world seemed strange to Ni Jinxuan, even the donkey cart pulling goods seemed novel to her. After a while, she could no longer sit still and tugged at Rat Cake's sleeve, "Hey, what kind of beast is that pulling the cart?"

"Mule." Yuan Ye tilted his head to take a look, and added, "It doesn't taste good."

The drowsy Lin Du heard these words: ... Damn it.

Ni Jinxuan said "Oh", and then asked, "Have you ever ridden in a mule carriage?"

Yuan Ye replied, "No, I'm a prince."

Ni Jinxuan was puzzled, "You said that people in the royal family have a good status in the mortal world, and there is almost nothing they can't get, but you have never ridden in a mule carriage?"

Yuan Ye:...

He thought about it, "Mule carriages are unstable and they are not expensive things."

"What's wrong with a mule carriage? You have to lift the curtains to see the scenery in a carriage, and it's stuffy in the carriage! The fragrance makes people dizzy," Ni Jinxuan whispered, "I think mule carriages are great."

Yuan Ye sighed, "Yeah, mule carriages are so nice and comfortable. On the way back, we'll ride a mule."

He was not in a good mood, and he was too lazy to pretend. When he arrived at the place, he got out of the carriage by himself. Looking at the heavy guards in the garden, he couldn't help but sneered.

The power position was reversed. The man who once oppressed all the ministers and made them unable to raise their heads has grown old and is being stared at by countless eyes in this "resting and retiring" garden. The man who was once cautious and enthusiastic about farming and talked about agricultural knowledge has become the saint who oppresses others to the point of suffocation.

Yuan Ye walked step by step towards the warm room where the emperor was, but unexpectedly saw an old man who was trembling and needed help from a distance on the road. He stopped in his tracks.

The man's hair was already gray, he was not wearing a hat, his back was hunched, and he looked old.

Yuan Ye stood there and suddenly felt that the sun was a little dazzling.

The old emperor hadn't noticed yet, but the eunuch beside him saw from a distance a noble figure with a dragon-shaped figure and a phoenix-shaped figure, followed by several people who looked extraordinary. The

young eunuch looked for a while, and suddenly shouted, "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is back!"

When Yuan Ye heard this, his eyes moved to the young eunuch.

The face was familiar, but it was not the one who followed the old emperor in the past, but the one who used to be in the Chengwang Mansion.

The people who served the old emperor in the past are gone.

He walked towards his biological father, "Father."

The old emperor looked at Yuan Ye for a while, "Xiao Wu, why did you come back?"

Yuan Ye looked at the old emperor steadily, "My master asked me to come back to cut off my worldly ties. The national master is not pure and associates with evil spirits. My master came here to arrest him and eliminate the evil spirits."

The old emperor's already gloomy face became even gloomier, "Xiao Wu, what are you doing..."

"You are a mortal, you probably don't understand. What I mean is that the national master used evil methods, which are against the way of heaven." Yuan Ye glanced at the eunuch, "But now they have been dealt with, you can rest assured." The

old emperor trembled, his face gloomy, and he immediately said, "You idiot, you went out for a while, and you didn't even greet your father when you saw him? Do you still have respect and inferiority in your eyes!"

"If the king is not a king, then the minister is not a minister; if the father is not a father, then the son is not a son." Yuan Ye smiled, "These are one of the few things my son remembered when he was in school."

"Nowadays, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and Taoism has rules and regulations, and all beings are equal. My nephew does not need to kneel. What's more, his origin has been damaged because of you, and I don't know how long it will take to recover."

Lin Du suddenly came up from behind, "Could it be that the national master entered your ancestral tomb to perform magic and you were completely unaware?"

The old emperor was made even more unprepared by this person who suddenly interrupted him. He was about to scold him, but he was met with a pair of eyes as dark as the abyss. The woman was dressed as a Taoist priest, looking down at the hunched over him, with no anger on her face, only a mocking smile, which made people feel as if they fell into an ice cave in an instant.

"Of course I know! This is all for the destiny of the country! What heavenly way, unity of heaven and man, the emperor is heaven!"

"You are a prince, a prince is born to serve the country, you are supported by the people, even if you give up your life, it is what you deserve! Not only me, but also your second uncle! The whole court will not think that the national teacher is wrong in doing this!"

Lin Du sneered, "Yes, for the sake of national destiny, sacrificing a prince and some flesh and blood of the people of Dawn is no big deal."

Yuan Ye held back and sneered, "What you can't let go of, what you want me to risk my life to save, is it the people of Dawn, or your throne!"

"Do you understand? This is the nature of the feudal dynasties in the mortal world. Resources are exploited and concentrated in one center, so corruption is inevitable." She whispered to her two nephews, "Don't be trapped in decay and obsolescence. There are few things that don't change, and everything is moving forward."

"I know you can't get out of this for a while, but the rules of this world will always set things right."

The emperor looked at Yuan Ye in front of him and finally suppressed his inner cruelty. "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, you came to see father. Father is very happy. Come have tea with me. I'll ask someone to make you your favorite lamb liver and biloxi, okay?"

Ni Jinxuan's eyes widened for an instant. Yuan Ye pursed his lips. The junior uncle had already asked the answer. The vain hope in his heart was completely extinguished. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm here to see you for the last time. I haven't eaten ordinary food for a long time. I won't go for tea. Take care."

Yuan Ye turned and left. The old emperor shouted from behind, "Don't you want to see your mother?"

The young man still didn't look back. He strode quickly and soon walked a long distance away.

Ni Jinxuan had to jog to catch up, "Yuan Ye, do you dislike eating lamb liver? I remember when we went to eat hot pot, you said that lamb is only delicious when it is cooked in a hot pot?"

"Yeah." Yuan Ye walked very fast, "He never remembers what I like to eat. I love singing operas and don't like reading. I am the least favored one. He called me back just to say bad things about my second uncle in private and let me take back the legitimate throne."

"Then... is the lamb liver and biluo he mentioned delicious?" Ni Jinxuan asked cautiously, "He can use this to keep you, it should be delicious, right?"

Yuan Ye slowed down his pace after hearing this, with a depressed look on his face, but the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's unpalatable, only old people like that kind of thing, I'll take you to eat delicious food."

Lin Du thought of the conversation in the car, "How about donkey meat hot pot?"

"Take a mule carriage to eat donkey meat hot pot?" Yuan Ye followed Lin Du's thinking.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

It's right.

Wei Zhi was silent all the way until Yuan Ye really just picked up a pen and asked someone to write a letter to the emperor, and he really abandoned the carriage and took a few people to buy a mule, then he showed a little incredible expression.

The painting style of the Supreme Sect... is it not right?

Until he got on the mule cart, the Buddhist who had been a background board could no longer hold back.

"You are treated as a chess piece that the royal family is born to sacrifice. Aren't you angry?"

"I am angry." Yuan Ye clumsily set up the mule cart. The three celestial beings sat on the wooden cart, out of place but at ease.

"But I have dedicated my spiritual power for many years, and I have repaid the royal family for what they gave me. Now the dragon energy in my body is gone. From now on, I will only be Yuan Ye of the Supreme Sect, not Yuan Ye of the Great Zhou royal family."

"I am most troubled by those burdens and responsibilities. The best way is to let go! I will practice my free and easy way."

Many of the shackles that trap people in this world may not be real shackles.

Lin Du concluded his speech, "As long as you have no morals, you will not be kidnapped."

Wei Zhi: ...The new generation of the Supreme Sect has really been raised astray, or they have raised themselves astray.
