CHAPTER 275 (2/2)
Before dinner, the national teacher came to find Xie Xi. “Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”
Xie Xi told the lion, “I’ll see you at dinner.”
Leo stared at the national teacher but didn’t say anything. This was regarding the affairs of the Tiger Country and as a foreigner, he was naturally unable to listen.
He replied to Xie Xi, “I’ll see you later.”’
Leo left and Xie Xi glanced at the national teacher. “What is it?”
“I’ve found the details of Jiang Xie. Please take a look.”
Xie Xi had commanded the national teacher to check the little lion.
This was a precaution. The experience of the little lion’s family was so bad that Xie Xi needed to know more details in order to prevent any troubles.
Xie Xi took the information and looked it over while listening to the national teacher’s brief summary. “He is from the lion’s royal family. He is the sixth child of the former lion king who died because of a coup.”
Sure enough, the souls knew how to set themselves up.
The little lion being part of the Lion Country’s royal family was similar to Xie Xi’s guess.
He looked carefully and asked, “Who was the former lion king?”
The national teacher explained, “The Lion Country always had a war faction and a pace faction. The dead former lion king was part of the war faction. You remember Jiang Yuan, who once sent someone to assassinate you.”
Xie Xi didn’t remember!
He replied, “How could I forget?”
“After you unified the eight countries, the Lion Country’s royal family stayed dormant and waited for you…” He paused before vaguely saying, “The eight countries split up and the Lion Country’s royal family regained power. Jiang Yuan was re-elected as king.”
Xie Xi nodded.
The national teacher continued, “The Lion Country has always had good relations with the Tiger Country. The leader of the peace faction, Song Wei, fought side by side with you. They might’ve been conquered by the royal family but they saved enough strength and caught Jiang Yuan by surprise when he had forgotten them.”
It was basically like this.
Xie Xi unified the eight countries and the leader of the Lion COuntry was Song Wei of the peace faction. The Rose Empire collapsed and the Lion Country’s Jiang Yuan regained power, pushing Song Wei and his faction out of the political arena. How could they be willing to accept this? They launched a coup and Jiang Yuan was killed.
The role played by Jiang Xie was very innocent. He was just a little lion who was one month old. He wasn’t even clear about the details of his family.
Xie Xi clearly remembered that the little lion said his father and sister were dead but…
He was obviously the sixth child. It seemed that one sister often took care of him so he only remembered her.
The national teacher spoke again, “The situation of Jiang Xie means that him staying here will cause endless troubles.”
His words might sound selfless but how could Xie Xi believe it?
Besides, no matter Leo’s setting, Xie Xi couldn’t leave him.
Xie Xi answered, “It’s fine, he was too young to remember anything.”
The national teacher frowned and couldn’t help asking, “Why do you value him so much?”
How could Xie Xi answer?
The truth couldn’t be spoken and it was inevitable that the national teacher would misunderstand.
Xie Xi opened his mouth. “The matter of the Lion Country’s royal family really has nothing to do with him. A one month old child wouldn’t know anything.”
He said this and the national teacher no longer asked.
Xie Xi gazed at the other person, his heart a bit empty.
It shouldn’t matter…
Xie Xi felt that his nerves were over-stressed.
After eating, it was time for the medicinal bath.
Xie Xi hadn’t taken painkillers recently but his body didn’t hurt. This medicinal bath did work but his injury was too serious and it was difficult to recover quickly.
Xie Xi deliberately let himself fall asleep in the medicinal bath because he wanted to continue dreaming.
Sure enough, as long as the national teacher was present then the dreams were related to him.
This dream was in the tiger king’s palace.
Xie Xi wore a grand outfit as he stood on a high platform and was admired by thousands of people.
Houqing was kneeling at his right hand, white cloak against the ground and his posture of one knee on the ground as beautiful as a blooming white flower.
Xie Xi watched them for a moment before raising his hand. “Get up.”
The group of people cheered, the waves of sound echoing in the magnificent hall and making people dizzy.
Xie Xi ascended the throne to be emperor and the Rose Empire was born!
Regarding the title of emperor, it was handed to him by Houqing. “The eight countries are led by you. If everyone thinks you don’t have the highest power, many decrees will be difficult to carry out.”
At first, Xie Xi didn’t want to be called emperor. “An imperial rule has many drawbacks.”
Houqing replied, “However, this is undoubtedly the fastest way to spread your wishes through the world.”
“What if I die?”
Houqing whispered, “Perhaps you would’ve already created a complete policy to suppress imperial power.”
Xie XI was persuaded by him.
Everything that Houqing did perfectly fit with Xie Xi.
Xie Xi wanted to return the world to peace and prosperity and he also wanted. Xie Xi wanted the beastmen to live a prosperous and healthy life and he was the same. Xie Xi’s heart was full of ambition and Houqing put all his energy into implementing the decrees, wanting to make this country better.
Other people sang the praises of the benevolent beast king, stating that the national teacher was the beast king’s right arm and they were truly wise men.
Houqing liked to listen to these things and worked harder.
This lasted until Xie Xi went out on patrol and was almost assassinated by rebels.
The moment the poison arrow struck Xie Xi’s lower abdomen, Houqing felt the pain of his heart being pierced. At this moment, he recognized his heart.
Everything he did was only for Xie Xi.
In his narrow heart, he only had this person.
The so-called peace and prosperity, the so-called healthy beastmen, the so-called heart full of ambition, all of this was because they were Xie Xi’s wishes.
