1035 Do You Feel Sorry For Him? (2/2)

”No!” Gu Xijiu shook her head. Now that she had seen Rong Che's true colors, she would no longer side with him. ”I am just amazed by your dark humor.”

He could always read another person's mind easily and would not hold back when it was his turn to seek revenge. It was fortunate that he was her fiancé and not her opponent. Otherwise, it would have been a hard time for her to encounter such a psychopath.

Patiently, Gu Xijiu continued to watch the scenario that was unraveling. Suddenly, she could not forbear expressing her surprise, ”Isn't the Emperor being controlled by Rong Che? He should be announcing soon that he is appointing Rong Che as the new crown prince, right?”

Di Fuyi twitched the corner of his lips, ”Perhaps, he is waiting for the right time?”

Gu Xijiu could not comprehend. Di Fuyi smiled, ”Rong Che likes to put on a good show. He has to determine which officials are going to be useful to him and which are to be executed.”

Gu Xijiu did not answer. She still could not quite grasp the entire scenario as she was not very familiar with the events of the imperial court.

Di Fuyi continued to explain to her some of the various tricks and techniques that could be used during a political game between the ones who were in power and the ones who were in service.

Gu Xijiu's capability was incomparable as an assassin. However, she had never actually learned the tricks to decide the usefulness of a servant to a higher authority. With Di Fuyi's careful explanations, however, she somehow felt enlightened all at once and finally understood what was going on.

She felt a little perplexed and astonished at the same time. Di Fuyi had been offering her some great insights regarding a variety of different knowledge. Was he taking her as a disciple? The two of them continued to watch the scenes from the tablet while they were talking.

After some time, the Emperor was finally making his announcement, ”I do not have much time left. The Crown Prince used to be Rong Jialuo, but unfortunately, his whereabouts are still unknown. He has most probably met with an unfortunate event. Che Er has been with Jialuo all this while. He is a bright and brilliant person with excellent achievements in wars. I have decided that in the event of Jialuo's death, I shall appoint Che Er as the new crown prince and he shall be the successor to the throne after my death.”
