Chapter 522 – Myself

A storm was brewing.

Da Xi had been at peace for too long. Her emotions had been stirred up by an assassination that was destined to be impossible. No one knew which idiot had done suching, but even if they wanted to kill those old monsters Chen Wunuo had thought of for over a hundred years, they would still have to scold him.

Yes, who was it?

Gu Jiuxi feleadache coming on. For the past five days, she didn’t have a single clue. That’s right, there weren’t many people who knew that the emperor had left the palace, and the few that did were her trusted subordinates. She was sure that her subordinates didn’t have the guts nor the ability to do so. Even she himself couldn’t summon over a hundred experts, much less her subordinates.

So she felt that if she went to Chen Wunuo to beg for forgiveness, she wouldn’t be able to find him.

On the way back, Gu Jiuxi suddenly thought of something … Why didn’t His Majesty want the people from the Sanctuary to interfere? What was this signal?

The Sacred Palace was formed to replace the Ming Fa Si, so the person who contributed greatly to the construction of the Sacred Palace was the prince Chen Zhongqi, could it be?

Gu Jiuxi shivered. He felt a chill start to run down his spine … Did His Majesty know something? She suddenly began to admirerson, a dead person. When Fang Zheng had beaten the Ming Fa Si to death, he had definitely been able to find out, but he was already dead. Gu Jiuxi tried to think things through with Fang Zheng’s thoughts, but discovered that he simply couldn’t do it, because she never understood that man.

Ou Yangduo.

Another name entered Gu Jiuxi’s mind, the head of the Great Western Ming Fa Si’s intelligence department. According to the rumors, he warodigy that no intelligence in the world could detect. If he could get help from Ou Yangduo, he might even have a clue about this case. However, everyone in Ming Fa Si had already been transferred into an immortal palace, was he really going to the Western Regions?

Then, Gu Jiuxi thought of another problem … Why did the assassination of the Sacred Emperor happen after the Ming Fa Si was transferred out? And the Emperor wouldn’t let the Templar take over?

Why?

Gu Jiuxi stopped and asked three times in his heart why.

Why wait until the people from Ming Fa Si left? Was it because the person who made the move was afraid of the Ming Fa Si? They were well aware that as long as the Ming Fa Si still existed, it would buge threat. There was no comparison between the Ming Fa Si and the yamen when it came to investigating cases, not even the Sacred Hall. That was why they only took action after the people from Ming Fa Si were transferred away.

However, he didn’t use the Cathedral because the emperor didn’t trust it? Was the one who did not trust or even suspected Chen Zhongqi?

Gu Jiuxi felt that he was becoming more and more terrifying. Usually, she only trained in the art of military training, and then served as the guardian of the imperial palace. Although noble as a general of the Temple, he could still be regarded as the simplest general in history. She didn’t socialize much, probably because of his identity as a woman, and no one was willing to interact with her. Other than the love of others, they didn’t have any other interactions with each other. Speaking of which, she was the first female general in the history of the Great Xixi Temple, so this was a little outrageous.

However, she knew that in terms of qualifications and strength, she wasn’t enough to become a Temple General. The only reason she had sucosition was because of the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo.

Thus, when she thought of this, she stopped in her tracks, heading towards the Imperial Palace.

The Holy Emperor cared about me and trusted me. So I decided to resign my job after five days?

Gu Jiuxi felt that she should go to the Western Regions to bring Ou Yangduo back from Immortal palace ruins. She could not send anyone there, because she knew that if he sent someone there, the person who might go there would mysteriously die or the one who died would be Ou Yangduo. She also clearly understood that if his majesty really suspected that the Sanctuary suspected Chen Zhongqi, then even she herself would be in danger. Therefore, he had to travel alone without informing anyone.

Gu Jiuxi immediately turned around and returned to his home.

The moment she turned around, she did not see Prince Chen Zhongqi standing in the shadows less than a hundred meters away from her, looking at her with a dark expression.

The palace.

Daxi Shenghuang’s brilliance was too dazzling, so other people would automatically ignore it. When one thought of the palace, one would think that it was the place where the Sacred Emperor lived and drank. Very few people have such thoughts in their heads … The Divine Empress was also there. No matter if people wanted to or not, the Divine Empress was still the most important woman in the Great Xi.

She was the woman who stayed by Chen Wunuo’s side the longest. If Chen Wunuo disliked her, disrespected her, and didn’t care about her, then she wouldn’t have to become the Divine Empress. The crowd was only used to forgetting the Divine Empress’s existence because she was truly too low-key. Being low-key was one of the reasons why Chen Wunuo cared about her.

The Divine Empress had the surname of Zhangsun, and very few people already knew of her name.

Those who had seen the Divine Empress all knew that she was a woman as gentle as water. Even though her appearance was young, she still looked as beautiful as a young girl. Moreover, the temperament of a mature mother was not something a woman could casually compare with.

“Your Majesty, are you really suspecting me?”

The eldest grandson asked with a very soft voice.

On the surface, it looked as if Chen Wunuo was a gentle and kind Sovereign King, but she was very clear that Chen Wunuo waerson who liked to straighten things out. If someone were to ask something, he might not express his dissatisfaction, but he did not feel happy about it.

Therefore, she directly asked, and only she dared to directly ask.

“I don’t doubt it.”

Chen Wunuo smiled gently: “Because he wanted to replace me in the first place, there’s nothing to doubt. However, he was not the one who assassinated me. ”

“En!” The eldest grandson replied, “Although my heart is a bit … But he really would not do such an outrageous thing. He’s only trying to make you think he’s a qualified successor. ”

Chen Wunuo: “My performance also made him feel like he was a qualified successor.”

The Zhangsun was slightly stunned. “Could it be His Majesty?”

“No.”

Chen Wunuo’s smile was still as gentle as before, but every word of what he was about to say was incomparably cold: “I only made him feel that I am certain that he is a qualified successor, but I do not need him to do so yet. Do you know why I just sit back and do nothing about it? Because I have to let my sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren have their own sense of existence. I can’t make them go crazy because they can’t wait. I can only make them feel like they have a chance. ”

When Chen Wunuo said these words, his expression did not change, and he was not worried about any unfavorable consequences. This was because the woman in front of him was the woman he trusted the most. She would never betray him.

Actually, Chen Zhongqi was not her child, but even so, she still felt that Chen Zhongqi was not actually a bad child. Even if Chen Zhongqi was no longer a child, it was possible that they were still children in the eyes of his parents.

“But Your Majesty …” Then why the case? Not letting the Templar interfere was an obvious signal. Everyone would think, Your Majesty, you’re suspecting something. So they will automatically draw a clear line between themselves and themselves. ”

Chen Wunuo said: “They should have done that.”

“Your Majesty, why is that?”

The eldest grandson felt like he was about to suffocate. “Do we really have to get rid of that artifact?”

“He’s just a …”

Chen Wunuo paused for a moment before lowering his voice slightly, “He is my son, but he is only a companion in my life. I can give him his place and his dignity, but he can’t do too much. Whatever I want to give him, I will naturally give it to him. I won’t give it to them. If they want to use this method to steal it, then there can only be one outcome. ”

“You don’t know much about the item, because you don’t like to come in contact with people outside. Do you know who the person I trust the most in the last thirty years is? ”

“It’s Fang Zheng.”

“That’s right.”

Chen Wunuo raised his head, and looked at the face of the eldest grandson, the Divine Empress. Because Hu’er is my son, I cannot let others know about this matter. Even if I die, I have to give Fang Zheng the reputation of a traitor. However, the truth is, a subject of great use to the country is much more meaningful to me than a son of mine. If it wasn’t for this blood relationship, would I have forgiven him? The reason why I endured it is because everyone has a chance to leave the stage of history, and Fang Zheng is about to do so. ”

“But the worst thing that can’t be done is to feel that your chance is coming.”

The Zhangsun Empress said, “But I really don’t have any thoughts of killing you.”

“Yeah.”

Chen Wunuo said: “That is because he does not have that strength, if he did, he would have already made his move.”

Chen Wunuo stood up and walked to the window outside: “Don’t you understand?”

The eldest grandson understood, so his heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife. His entire being felt as if he had fallen into a cave of ice. Her shoulders couldn’t help but shiver. She felt so cold that it was hard to resist. But that was her husband, the one she had to support.

“Da Xi has been at peace for too long. Can you remember when was the last time Da Xi fought?”

Chen Wunuo turned his head to look at his wife, “Don’t mention you, I can’t even remember anything. A country that seemed to be flourishing and peaceful, just that it looked so beautiful, but was actually on the verge of decay. Why? Because those Humble Class children could not see any hope. Be it the important positions in the Holy See or the big cities below, they were all controlled by the big families. Without war, those Humble Class offspring could not find a chance. That’s why I want to start a war and let them train on the battlefield to grow. Great waves are searching for gold, and after the war, the rest will be the pillars of the country in the future. ”

“The Orc is my son, and I can only sacrifice him. Because this case would eventually fall to him. When the time comes, we will implicate a large group of people. My goal is … Because of the conspiracy, one third of the people in the Holy See who held weight had to die. A clan that was too powerful would be destroyed by a third. Without this case, what would I do? I have always condoned them and never paid any attention to them. I have always pretended to be blind in order to wait. ”

“When the time is right, it will naturally be done. Holy See could not always be under the control of the old clan s power, and needed to change his blood. I only sacrificed a son to destroy a third of the Da Xi family, then I can cultivate a new family. And these newly ascended families will be loyal to me for at least two hundred years. After two hundred years, we can just change our blood. ”

He turned to look at his wife, “I can’t move, and I can’t move. “Therefore, I must replace my subordinates one by one so that they will be respectful to me from beginning to end.”

The Divine Empress shook her head, and tears silently rolled down her face.

Chen Wunuo walked to her side and put his arm around her shoulders: “That’s why I never wanted you to participate in court affairs. It’s too cold, too heartless, it’s not suitable for you. If you feel that the smell of blood is too strong, you should go out and relax. I had someone to build a new Little An Palace in the southwest wind of Xiushan. It was specially built for you. ”

After saying this, Chen Wunuo turned around and was about to leave.

The Zhangsun Divine Empress couldn’t help but ask, “But you just said, the person who sent people to assassinate you wasn’t an artefact.”

“It really wasn’t him.”

Chen Wunuo’s footsteps paused for a bit, then continued to move forward: “It’s me.”
