Chen Yan felt that if he continued to stay, he might be annoyed to death by this fake couple, so he said "I'll take my leave", and after Wei Sushen nodded, he flicked his sleeves and left with a cold face.
Fang Shan focused on eating and was in a calm state.
Wei Sushen: "How are you going to scam me?"
Fang Shan smiled and said, "Let her come and meet us." Then he met Wei Sushen's gaze and said, "I heard that Baiqi Kingdom presented a lot of valuables as tribute yesterday. Why don't you accompany me to take a look, Your Highness?"
The voice was so charming that it could make water drip out of it.
Wei Sushen had long had a deep understanding of Fang Shan's acting skills and nodded in agreement with him.
Emperor Chengyuan liked plain clothes. In order to please him, the concubines in the palace wore clothes mainly in moon white or goose yellow. It was rare to see women wearing such flashy clothes as Fang Shan.
The servants actually liked the Crown Princess very much, not for anything else, but just for her clothes.
Looking at the same scenery every day, suddenly a touch of bright red appears, which inadvertently changes one's mood.
Emperor Chengyuan was accompanied by memorials all day long. He didn't need to work, let alone change his mood. When he saw Fang Shan, he was inevitably dazzled by the golden phoenix hairpin on his head.
"You're pregnant, don't wear heavy jewelry."
Fang Shan bowed and thanked Emperor Chengyuan for his kindness.
The Crown Prince never came to the palace unless there was something important. Emperor Chengyuan stopped reviewing the memorials and looked up at his troubled son. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Wei Sushen: "You have been busy with government affairs these days, and I am worried about your father's health."
Emperor Chengyuan: "If I remember correctly, you left just an hour ago."
At that time, this person was unwilling to stay for a moment, let alone help to review another memorial.
Wei Sushen pretended not to hear and changed the subject, looking at a very distinctive porcelain vase on the table: "Bai Qi's products are always well made."
Emperor Chengyuan heard the hidden meaning in his words and laughed angrily: "You are embezzling money and taking it to my head."
Wei Sushen: "I dare not."
He said he didn't dare, but his eyes kept glancing over there from time to time.
From Fang Shan's perspective, the considerations were quite different. While the host might not be as skilled as him in acting, his ability to manipulate people's hearts was far superior.
No matter how much Emperor Chengyuan loved the prince, he was still an emperor after all. Although Wei Sushen's impatience with the memorials made people think that the prince was not doing his job properly, in a sense, it made Emperor Chengyuan feel relieved.
Thinking of this, Fang Shan sighed softly. Everyone was living a bitchy life.
I am still the only one who stands out, the bitch is the same inside and out!
Emperor Chengyuan ordered the chief eunuch to move the tribute presented by the State of Baiqi from the warehouse for the crown prince to choose from.
Wei Sushen selected a few pieces of jewelry and put them on Fang Shan immediately. The agate matched her fair wrist, which was extremely beautiful and pure.
Emperor Chengyuan had to admit that the Crown Princess did have the ability to seduce people, and it was no wonder that his son looked down upon the two concubines chosen by the Empress Dowager.
Wei Sushen picked out another bracelet and said, "This... I'll give it to Concubine Li."
Emperor Chengyuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Wei Sushen's smile didn't reach his eyes: "There have been some bad rumors recently, so I will send the things in my own name."
As he said this, he had it put in a box and ordered the eunuch beside him to deliver it.
Emperor Chengyuan frowned: "What are the palace maids gossiping about again?"
Wei Sushen said calmly, "It is also true that Concubine Li and I are not on good terms."
Emperor Chengyuan laughed: "You are quite honest."
Even if he wanted to give something as a gift, he was unwilling to pay for it himself, but instead asked for it from his father, the emperor.
Wei Sushen: "We still need to make efforts to show our ability." He then added: "The things in my private storehouse are all reserved for the Crown Princess."
Emperor Chengyuan laughed and scolded him, "You've got the benefits and the reputation, now get out of here."
Wei Sushen followed his instructions and led Fang Shan away.
When the palace servants saw them, they all bowed cautiously. When their eyes glanced at the two people's clasped hands, they all sighed that the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was really good.
The dramatic couple walked their way calmly and confidently.
During this time, Fang Shan turned his head to look at him: "In fact, the scenery in the palace is the most beautiful in the capital."
The only reason other people get tired of it is because of the high palace walls.
Wei Sushen nodded: "It is indeed beautiful."
The scenery of Nanshan is also beautiful, but it is a wild beauty. The scenery of nature can be seen everywhere, and every plant and tree in the palace has been carefully cared for.
Fang Shan: "It's all the same principle. The myriad of styles out there are far inferior to the system that's set up when you first start."
Wei Sushen closed his eyes——
The routine is coming again.
Fang Shan: "I'm the best in the system, and have been rated as a 'Three Good Systems' for several consecutive years."
Wei Sushen stopped in his tracks. Although he didn't understand the world Fang Shan lived in, the words "Three Good System" had nothing to do with Fang Shan.
Fang Shan raised his hand as if swearing: "It's true, but it happened many years ago."
Wei Sushen couldn't help but feel a little curious. The change from the "Three Good" system to drunken absenteeism was too big.
Fang Shan shrugged nonchalantly. "Don't look at me like this. I've done great things before. I heard I made a huge mistake once that nearly brought down the world."
"I heard?"
"I don't remember." Fang Shan revealed a look of regret. "That data is gone. It stands to reason that causing world instability is unforgivable. Someone like me, who nearly destroyed a world, should be destroyed directly."
Hearing the word "destroyed", Wei Sushen's heart subconsciously tightened: "What happened next?"
Fang Shan coughed lightly: "The higher-ups forced me out."
Wei Sushen: "Above?"
Fang Shan seemed hesitant to elaborate, so he just offered an analogy: "As the saying goes, if the emperor breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as the common people, but is that really the case?"
Not to mention the same crime, anyone who knows the inside story will probably be dealt with.
Fang Shan: "I'm very well-liked by my superiors. They treat me like their own child. Naturally, they can't bear to watch me being destroyed."
Not only was he not destroyed, he was allowed to continue to carry out missions and lead hosts. This kind of treatment would scare people to death if people told them about it.
Wei Sushen: "Does System 333 know?"
Fang Shan shook his head: "This matter is top secret, only a few people know about it."
Wei Sushen nodded and said, "No wonder."
If he knew, even if System 333 had ten times the courage, he would not dare to accept the reward for destroying Fang Shan's mission.
Fang Shan whispered to him, "I actually always feel like I had a lover in the past."
Wei Sushen had lived for so long, but this was the first time he knew what it meant to have a murderous intent in the true sense of the word.
"lover?"
Fang Shan nodded: "Think about it, when I had everything I wanted and everything I needed, wouldn't I still be chasing after that illusory love?"
Wei Sushen smiled gently, which made people feel cold in their hearts: "Don't think about it. It's been so long. Even if such a person really existed, he would have been dead long ago."
Fang Shan: "It's just a guess."
Wei Sushen smoothed his hair that was messed up by the wind: "It's best if you can't remember. Anyway, there's nothing left of him."
The tone was very gentle, but it made people shudder.
Fang Shan smiled awkwardly and said, "This is all just my own blind guess."
Wei Sushen nodded in understanding: "The past is all gone."
Fang Shan immediately assured: "Yes, the ex was also Yunyan."
Wei Sushen smiled strangely: "The smoke that turns to ashes."
“…”
The unpleasant topic was passed over in a hurry. Fang Shan’s deleted data could not be restored, so he naturally didn’t bother himself with it.
Wei Sushen had the same idea as him at first, but that night, he had a dream. He dreamed that when he first met Fang Shan, the latter smiled heartlessly and said that some things would be loved even if you forgot them when you met them again.
It wasn't a nightmare, but he woke up with a start.
The next day, Fang Shan was in high spirits, and was surprised when he saw the dark circles under his eyes.
Is it because the bed is not soft enough, or because I sleep too much that I still suffer from insomnia?
Fang Shan poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Would you like to hear something refreshing?"
Wei Sushen: "What's the matter?"
Fang Shan: "There's news from Concubine Li that she hasn't been eating well these past two days and has been having nightmares."
Wei Sushen stood up and put on his clothes: "If it is true as Chen Yan said, her child cannot be saved. The disclosure of such news at this time means that action will be taken soon."
Fang Shan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this what you expected?"
Wei Sushen paused in adjusting his clothes.
Fang Shan: "You sent something in front of His Majesty, and even used your own name. Concubine Li, unaware of the situation, thought she was clever enough to use the gift you sent to frame someone else."
As he said that, he took out a small box from under the bed and handed it to Wei Sushen.
After Wei Sushen opened it, he found several small signs inside, which were the same size as the signs made by the Imperial Household Department. Normally, the emperor would favor whoever's sign he flipped.
Fang Shan pointed at the sign and said, "It's time to favor Concubine Li. Come and flip the sign."
Wei Sushen couldn't understand his bad taste.
Fang Shan: "Life should have a sense of ritual."
In the end, Wei Sushen turned over Concubine Li's card as he wished.
Concubine Li suffered a miscarriage two days later. Emperor Chengyuan was furious, and the imperial physicians knelt on the ground. When the news reached the Eastern Palace, Fang Shan shook his head and said, "Perhaps karma really is the answer. She killed the Crown Prince, and now she's lost her own child."
It's really weird. Concubine Li's child was originally well, but suddenly she couldn't keep it. He was shocked when Chen Yan told him that day.
Fang Shan advised Wei Sushen: "Therefore, people should do more good deeds and accumulate virtue."
Wei Sushen said calmly: "If I save you, the accumulated merits can build a seven-story pagoda."
From the perspective of fairness and justice, Fang Shan thought what he said made sense.
"Your Highness." The young eunuch stood respectfully outside the palace gate, his voice neither loud nor soft.
"Come in and talk."
Young eunuch: "There's a commotion going on with Concubine Li."
Wei Sushen asked knowingly, "Have you found out the reason?"
The young eunuch nodded and said, "It is said that Concubine Li's miscarriage was caused by the medicine. His Majesty is furious and has ordered a thorough investigation in the palace."
Wei Sushen asked everyone to leave and exchanged a glance with Fang Shan, who raised his lip and said, "Your Majesty is still grieving for her loss of an heir, but that won't be the case for a while."
Then he stood up and said, "Let's go."
Wei Sushen: "Watching a show?"
Fang Shan didn't deny it, but after a few steps he turned back and said, "I forgot to bring my equipment."
The next moment, Wei Sushen saw him stuffing the peeled melon seeds, peanuts and candies into his sleeves. He thought he was almost done and walked out slowly with a graceful look.
