Chapter 35 (2/2)

”Tellon your mind?” Yan Xiaohan used one hand to hold hi hair behind his ear ”I heard a servant say that you were in a bad mood this afternoon Who's ether tightly He felt like he needed a gap to say all that was on hisabout his hardshi+ps for too long and had forgotten how to speak them There were thousands of words in his in

For an adulthi open his chest

Yan Xiaohan didn't press hiht The dark beca him to slowly take down his heart's defenses

”How's the Eood time later, voice quiet

”A cup of poisoned wine,” Yan Xiaohan responded calmly ”All that was said to the outside was that it was from excessive blood loss, and she died despitein the dark night ”Yeah It'd be impossible for the Emperor to let her stay alive in this world”

”You knew?”

”Mhrains[1], as he hadn't visited the Terrene Cal that incident in the Hall, otherwise he wouldn't have had so ht-up faint out of anger”

”You…” Yan Xiaohan's voice was rough

”I did it,” Fu Shen openly admitted

Yan Xiaohan nearly leapt out of bed like his tail had been stepped on It wasn't until a mo him on he arm in embarrassed amusee was your doing, her conceiving was not! Don't say souous to the one you have a house and family with! Do you want to scare me to death?”

Fu Shen rubbed his sore ar that he'd been spooked Yet, because of Yan Xiaohan's reaction, the duskiness of his heavy heart had weirdly dispersed a bit

”Well then, I'll say it again The Eevity Feast was planned out by my people earlier on,” Fu Shen explained ”She had a dose of a drug in her diet every day It's harmless when taken by itself, but when taken ine, it has an anticoagulatory effect She had conceived in March and the fetus wasn't stable, so she i a few cups of wine at the Feast”

Yan Xiaohan wholly did not expect that he'd had an ulterior motive of this class ”You planted people at the Empress's side? When did that happen?”

”I didn't plant the story Do you re eunuch I saved at the polo coned to cleaning duties in Terrene Calet into the Eraces After I returned to the capital, he passed infor that there was an affair between the Euard

He wanted to repay a kindness and get revenge forthat the Enant The Emperor hadn't been to Terrene Calh, so the child was definitely not to be kept – but the E to part with it She even planned to take advantage of the Vast Longevity Feast to seduce the Eht, so that the pretense would turn into a reality

My thought, then, was that they shouldn't be let off so easily”

All his insides had once been torn open in the flooding downpour, and he had once sworn an oath that it would be repaid to eyes, the Ereen hat on the Eer to uphold his reputation, pinching his nose shut as he recognized the bastard child, resulting in hie Coe sanction from that very day, how did it taste?

And, once the Crown Prince's birth ree, the end of Prince's good life would also immediately follow

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth A debt of blood must be paid in blood Furthermore, the Yuantai Emperor's actions were definitively a thousand times worse than Fu Shen's The Yuantai Eed farce – his heart should have been bri since yearning for the Emperor's early death, yet the ways of the world were difficult to predict, and Priest Chunyang had attempted murder

At the cusp of imminent peril, Fu Shen had moved to save the Emperor's life

Those unforeseen circumstances came so suddenly that he hadn't time to deliberate on them All of his actions in that instant were the responses of his subconsciouswas already done and over with

Fu Shen proest clown in the farce… was actually hion seed' (龙种), dragon for the emperor, seed for… yeah Yuck No thank you

The author says: A little explanation pertaining to this chapter; General Fu is really quite an integrous person (truly, no joking here), and actually isn't too fond of playing around with shas and such When he had just raked up the truth, however, he honestly went er, and e theman loyal to the country (within the limitations of the era), he subconsciously assisted the E to help hi her than I am, just to act differently than that? Thus he sank into low spirits

Furtherh he feels the Es, the child was innocent This means of retaliation was a bit too much and at-odds with the principles he'd had all his life, so the horn-tip of self-spurning gored into hionist's nature, not co to reconstruct historical limitations upon him; a born-and-bred ancient person asn't reborn, didn't transer, can't have outside cheats, and doesn't have a System He may have a certain extent of prescience, but he doesn't have an (excessive) foresight into the times ahead

So, everyone, please don't take this as a 'Vicarious Story' Our protagonist still tortured a confession out of soree with hi zen salted fish ant to enjoy life in retire a break toht I could talk a lot in my endnotes

爽文 – lit ”Cool Story”, and IIIII can't relish ter where the protagonist never gets beaten (exceptand weak), collects 48093 et all sorts of rare junk, and earns (gets handed?) a happy ending They're 'vicarious' in that you're supposed to get i all the time, but it's just weak seinen shi+t IMO
