C186 (1/2)
This year, it just so happened to be Jun Mohan's eighteenth birthday, and also the time when the truth of the Phoenixis Maiden was revealed to everyone. The entire world was ready to make a move, wanting to snatch these three items first to become the overlord of the world.
As a result, when Fu Lingtian joined hands with Empress Ye Shixue to imprison Concubine Duan, in an attempt to attract Jun Mohan to the Xi Liang, he could always feel a little more at ease under his eyes.
As long as a few people knew that Bai Zhixi was the princess of Southern Frontier, they would have no choice but to attend the birthday banquet for the Emperor of Xi Liang.
The Phoenixis Maiden, blood bead, and map were all indispensable, and now that they were gathered in Xi Liang, with it so close up to him, he had to obtain it no matter what.
At this moment, when Fu Lingtian and Jun Mohan, who were in prison, thought about the issue of agreeing, the corners of their mouths flowed with a smile that was determined to win.
”Lord state advisor is now in prison, and he can still be so happy. It looks like the Emperor did not wrongly accuse the state advisor!”
Just as Fu Lingtian was fantasizing about becoming the overlord of this world, he was smashed by a heartless and harsh female voice. It was as if someone poured a bucket of bone-chilling cold water on him, and he immediately came to his senses from the cold. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Ye Shishuang striding over. She was dressed in plain blue palace clothing, and maybe because she was tired, she only had a few tassels to adorn her. She put on some makeup and looked indifferent.
”Esteemed empress, what do you mean by that?” For whom does this poor man do everything? I suppose you're not so heartless? ”
Fu Lingtian came out with a faintly discernible sneer, and spoke in a seemingly humble and amiable manner.
”Speak!” What exactly is going on? ”
Ye Shishuang shot him a glance of disgust, and asked with a calm voice.
Even if Fu Lingtian loved women, he wouldn't be stupid enough to kidnap an emperor's woman. There must be a secret within.
”Yesterday, after I left the empress's place, I went straight home to the academy. When I woke up, I looked like this. Dammit, I don't have any memories regarding this matter. Just who spent so much effort to frame this state advisor? Could it be that he had come? Only he would have such power. ”
Fu Lingtian frowned, his fist heavily hitting the door of the prison and filled his eyes with unwillingness.
If what he thought was true, then it would be too terrifying.
That person framed him without anyone knowing, erased his memories, and there must be a spy in the state advisor Palace who did not notice at all.
If the emperor hadn't caught him on the spot, he would have had a way to escape. If he were to refute the Emperor's words on the spot, he would only make it worse. Even though he had the intention to rebel, it was not the time for him to openly fall out with the Emperor.
”Last night, someone explored the palace at night. Fortunately, I had foresight and brought esteemed wangfei to the Magnificent Flower Palace. I took good care of her so she wouldn't be persecuted.” ”However, the country lord doesn't need to worry. I won't let those thugs succeed.”
Ye Shishuang glanced at the sneaky figure at the corner of the wall, killing intent flashed past his eyes like a cold ghost. He turned his body, handed over a piece of paper to Fu Lingtian, and made a throat slitting motion towards him.
The Emperor began to suspect her?
Or perhaps it could be said that the Emperor had always suspected her, and had only begun to act now.
In the past, Mo Nanxuan always listened to her and never refuted her words.
But in just the short span of two months, Mo Nanxuan seemed to have changed.
She had not seen his shadow in her Imperial Palace for a long time, and sometimes, they even bumped into each other in the garden. Mo Nanxuan's affection for her had long disappeared, and his eyes shone with a strange coldness.
With the state advisor being framed, did Ye Chonglou really come back to avenge that little bitch, Concubine Yuan?
Ye Shishuang looked at the figure of his back who had disappeared into the corner. He tightly clenched his fists under his long sleeves.
She didn't even hear the Fu Lingtian, who was only a step away from her.
”In the direction of the Empress, this state advisor will definitely help the Emperor predict the future and show off his might.”
Fu Lingtian looked at the two words on the slip of paper, ”Throne, Under Heaven”. His tightly knitted eyebrows slowly relaxed as a bloodthirsty smile flashed across his eyes.
He knew that the empress would definitely not let him off the hook, because she still needed him to show her the river and mountains …
”Then state advisor must properly predict the future for the Emperor. Don't disappoint my trust in you.”
Ye Shishuang forced a smile on his cold face, and after he finished speaking, he turned and left the dungeon.
It was late in the night and as desolate as water. The empty imperial palace was deathly still because of the incident with the state advisor, and the air was filled with a ghastly and frightening aura.
Within the Magnificent Brocade Palace, the lamps were brightly lit. They swayed in the breeze, revealing a heavy and tense atmosphere.
”Esteemed Empress, this is what you want.”
Ye Shishuang laid on the low collapse, allowing the palace maid to massage his temples.
In front of her stood a man completely covered in a black robe. He respectfully handed her a delicate golden box.
