Those who followed Shui Sheng in the rebellion, and even many people in the undercurrent, were direct or indirect victims of the unjust cases of that year.

For so many years, what they have been obsessed with is to seek justice and clear their names. In more serious cases, they want to seek revenge on the emperor.

Now the emperor himself admitted it and issued an edict to announce it to the world, rehabilitating them.

So why are they still fighting? Their obsession for so many years has finally come true.

But Shui Sheng was different. She was rebelling to take over Dayu's kingdom, so she didn't buy it.

"After so many years of blood feud, you just said you were wrong and that's it? Those people who died, those innocent lives, were sacrificed in vain?"

The emperor seemed to have expected Shui Sheng to do this, and said with a smile: "Since I have come out today, I have no intention of returning alive. Since this matter was caused by me, I will end it by myself."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the Ninth Prince and the King of Xiang: "You two kneel down and swear before the heavens and the earth that no matter who becomes the supreme ruler in the future, you will never kill your brothers or fight against your own family."

The Ninth Prince and the Prince of Xiang, one on the city wall and the other on the foot of the city, looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering why their father was like this.

But King Xiang still dismounted, knelt down first, and swore to the heavens that if his brothers killed each other or fought against each other in the future, he would be struck by five thunders and die without a complete body.

Seeing that Prince Xiang was so decisive, the Ninth Prince also knelt down and swore the same oath with him.

"Good, good, good." The emperor showed a trace of relief on his face and said "good" three times in a row.

Finally, he looked at the horizon and shouted, "Father, I am the unfilial son Nangong Wuli, and I am here to ask you to punish me."

After saying that, he fell headfirst from the city wall.

“Father…”

"His Majesty……"

Everyone rushed over in fear and tried to pull him, but it was too late. By the time they ran over, the emperor had already fallen off the city wall with a dull bang.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene. Their emperor, who was so high and mighty and out of their reach, actually committed suicide in front of the palace gate.

Not to mention Dayu, there has never been a precedent in the long history of China.

After the panic, there was deathly silence, so quiet that you could hear your breathing and a pin drop.

In the end, it was Prince Xiang who reacted first. He rushed over, pushed aside the rebels blocking the way, and picked up his father who was covered in blood.

"Father, hold on, hold on. I will take you to see the imperial physician."

But the emperor grabbed him and said, "Sang'er, your father is sorry for you."

After saying this, his hand instantly slipped down and he was no longer able to breathe.

The King of Xiang was stiff, and he hugged the Emperor, roaring and crying: "Father, Father, I will never be angry with you again, never be angry with you again..."

The crying was deafening, accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, and continued to echo in the palace.

The Ninth Prince suddenly collapsed to the ground, his mind went blank and he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't cry.

Everyone knelt down and respectfully sent their Majesty off.

The emperor had done many wrong things, but this time, he used his life to avoid a fight involving hundreds of thousands of people and saved hundreds of thousands of families.

He may not be a good emperor, but on this day, he is great.

Ye Qingwan never dreamed that the plot could be corrected in such a tricky way.

The emperor died to apologize, and the prime minister and Liu Sheng stood up at the right time and assured everyone that they would re-investigate the unjust case and clear everyone's name.

Although the Ninth Prince and the King of Xiang were immersed in grief, they still stood up and agreed with Liu Sheng and the Prime Minister's proposal. They even ordered the posting of an imperial edict on the spot to announce the matter to the world.

In this way, the rebels' long-cherished wish was fulfilled and they all dropped their knives.

They have been hiding their identities and living like rats for so many years, all for the hope that one day they can clear their names, seek justice for their dead fathers, and fight for a legitimate identity for their descendants.

Now that the truth has been revealed and the emperor is dead, they can finally be considered to have avenged their great hatred.

So why fight? Even if they really turned Dayu's world upside down, what would they gain?

It just makes more innocent people become like them, which is the best outcome.

Although Shui Sheng was unwilling, she had no choice.

But she was not in a hurry. After the emperor's death, the court would undergo a new round of reshuffle. This was a good opportunity for her.

She could even support a puppet emperor and take over Dayu's kingdom without bloodshed.

The emperor had just passed away, and there had just been a fight in the palace, so it should have been a mess. But under the command of Liu Sheng and the prime minister, everything was in perfect order, and there was no trouble at all.

But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm. After tomorrow, a new round of struggle will be staged in the palace, a battle for the throne.

Ye Qingwan was placed in a side hall, but she couldn't sleep. The plot had gone so far as to reach the Arctic Ocean, but it could actually be rounded off. Isn't the worldview too powerful?

You are so good at mending things, you must have been a sewing machine in your previous life?

By the way, system, who is that old black man?

System: System.

Ye Qingwan: ...

Stop making trouble.

I know you are the system, I am asking you, who is Lao Hei?

System: ... Did you grow a brain just to look good? I've already said it, it's the system.

I know you are the system, I am asking...

Ye Qingwan was about to spit at him when she was suddenly stunned and jumped up from the bed: System? He is also a system? So how many systems are there in this novel?

System: You are like a little crab crawling in a cow's nose, making a fuss out of nothing. I am the system of the original world view, responsible for repairing the plot. I am the one you brought with you when you traveled through time. We are two different species.

Ye Qingwan was completely stunned. Is there such a thing? !

I was so confused that the complaint panel opened by itself.

[I'm shocked, what kind of performance is this? I've never seen it before. It really opened my eyes...]

[The system is divided into locals and outsiders. The locals have an old black system, and the outsiders have a big wronged system...]

[At this moment, I really want to say something awesome, but I have no problem with that. I can only say “wow”. ]

System: ...What did you just say I was? Say it again, think it over.

Young man, I advise you to learn from your mistakes.

Ye Qingwan: ...A cool system from another place!

The system snorted: What nonsense are you talking about.

Ye Qingwan: ...

People need face, trees need bark, the system has no shame, it is invincible!

But brother, can you beat Lao Hei?

The system said disdainfully: You must be kidding. In the past, that big black garlic head brainwashed the heroine to deal with your twisted plot, but he stopped after I gave him a good beating.

Ye Qingwan: ...

So the heroine's character also collapsed...

Section 178

You are so smart!

While I was talking to the system, the door suddenly opened and someone walked in very quietly.

Ye Qingwan quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but her hand quietly grasped the inkstone hidden under the quilt.

Yes, she brought it up before going to bed. Now the situation is chaotic and there is no guarantee that someone will take advantage of the situation.

But as the person approached, she smelled a very familiar scent.

She opened her eyes: "Master."

Liu Sheng lowered his head and put his face close to hers: "Did I wake you up?"

Ye Qingwan shook her head: "Are you done?"

Liu Sheng lay down and hugged her in his arms: "Not yet, I was afraid that you would not dare to sleep alone, so I came to check."

"Once the funeral is over and the new emperor ascends the throne, we'll leave here, okay?"

"Okay." Ye Qingwan agreed readily, but she was not sure if she could leave, as the plot had been made up by Lao Hei. Once the Ninth Prince ascended the throne and Xia Xuejian became the queen, it would be her death.

Liu Sheng smiled faintly, still mumbling something to himself. His voice gradually became quieter, and he fell asleep after a while.

Ye Qingwan lay in his arms, listening to his even breathing.

This stupid Lao Hei, he made up the plot so exaggeratedly, look how tired my master is. Next time I catch him, I will definitely beat him up.

System, don't you think?

System: ...You are so awesome, fight by yourself.

Ye Qingwan: Don’t I think I can’t beat him?

System: What’s so great about you if I can’t beat you?

Ye Qingwan: I am so awesome to have you.

System: ...You are really awesome.
