Chapter 141 Does the Regent Still Want to Go Home?
Xie Yue tried hard to cultivate the original owner in a good direction. At the beginning, the original owner listened to Xie Yue very much and felt that the regent left by her father would not harm her.
However, as Xie Yue's power grew, it became so powerful that some royalists became uneasy, so the original owner, who had been deprived of education for nearly twenty years, was easily provoked.
In addition, Xie Yue was very strict with the original owner. The original owner felt that his authority as the head of a country was challenged, so he naturally disliked him.
Due to Xie Yue's power, the original owner did not dare to provoke him, but when Xie Yue asked her to do something, she would do the opposite, as if implicitly declaring to Xie Yue: I am the king of a country, it is not I who should listen to you, but you who should listen to me!
This game lasted for half a year. In the end, Xie Yue seemed to give up changing the original owner, and chose to continue to expand his own power. Finally, he directly promulgated various policies that benefit the people in the name of the original owner.
This completely ignited the original owner's anger, and with the instigation of some people, she felt that Xie Yue was suspected of usurping the throne.
I heard that emperors who were deprived of their positions all had a miserable end. How could the original owner, who had finally escaped from the cold palace and lived a happy life, be willing to end up like this?
Therefore, her initial opposition to Xie Yue escalated into an attempt to trip up Xie Yue, but with her brain she could only come up with some minor fights. Later, under the advice of some people, the original owner took the poison given to her by those people and put it into Xie Yue's food.
The original owner's method of poisoning was clumsy, and those people thought she would not succeed. Their purpose was just to further sow discord between the two, but they did not expect that the original owner actually succeeded. Xie Yue ate the dish that the original owner sent over without hesitation.
Even if it succeeded, the drug was highly toxic, and there was no antidote. Xie Yue's death seemed certain. Unfortunately, after his death, the original owner, the foolish and obedient emperor, would not survive. Xie Yue's men would definitely not let her go.
They had already made preparations for what would happen afterwards, but they never expected that Xie Yue was not dead, and even with such a strong poison, he was completely unharmed.
Later, the original owner was imprisoned, Xie Yue completely monopolized power, and the group of ministers who instigated the conflict were also executed.
This is what has developed so far, but there is still the second half.
The second half is that Xie Yue gave the original owner another chance, but the original owner did not seize it. Instead, he joined forces with the aristocratic families that were at odds with Xie Yue to kill Xie Yue.
After Xie Yue's death, the aristocratic families became dominant, and the original owner's life became gradually difficult. The aristocratic families destroyed the country that Xie Yue had worked hard to protect and improve. The original owner was unable to change it, and instead became a scapegoat for this group of people.
In the end, the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, and the country was destroyed by foreign countries. However, this group of families changed their appearance and remained unscathed even after the country was changed.
Seeing the war raging and the people suffering, the once prosperous capital was burned, killed and looted by the enemy. The original owner committed suicide in despair and extreme regret, but his head eventually became a trophy and was hung on the city wall for people to admire.
It was not until his death that the original owner realized that everything Xie Yue did was for the good of the country and the people.
Amidst such heavy feelings of family and country, the original owner felt that his own happiness was insignificant.
So her wish was: on the premise of saving her life, she would listen to Xie Yue's words carefully, even if she had to abdicate and let Xie Yue ascend the throne.
When Lu Shi came to this world, the poisoning had already happened and the original owner was imprisoned.
Although he didn't know why Xie Yue didn't just kill the original owner directly, and the original owner actually lived longer than Xie Yue, Lu Shi still felt that his life was in danger.
Put yourself in her shoes. If she were Xie Yue, she would definitely not forgive this dog emperor who poisoned her!
The slightest flutter of the butterfly's wings made her feel like Xie Yue would chop off her head at any moment.
So the most urgent task now is to gain Xie Yue's trust. She remembered that Xie Yue gave the original owner a chance in the end, and the original owner would never let her go if he didn't catch her.
But this opportunity comes quite late, so she has to take the initiative to fight for it.
The rice paper just now described how she should gain Xie Yue's trust. It was detailed down to the smallest detail. Lu Shi read it carefully and was very satisfied.
She folded the paper carefully and put it into a notebook on the desk.
The name of this storybook is quite outrageous, "The Emperor Is Above, The Prince Can't Stand It Anymore". Lu Shi didn't expect that someone would actually write a fan fiction about her and Xie Yue. This should be quite unpopular. She only found this one after looking through the entire pile of storybooks that Xiao Kangzi gave her.
Out of curiosity, Lu Shi flipped through the book on the spot, but it was uninteresting. It was just a pornographic picture book with more pictures than words, and the pictures were between two men. Lu Shi lost interest after flipping through two pages.
If someone changed the gender of the emperor in this book to a woman, she would take a look at it. But now, she has put it at the bottom of the book.
After putting this book under all the other storybooks, Lu Shi finally went to bed with peace of mind.
……
Guessing that the morning court session was over by now, Lu Shi held a book in his hand, but his mind was nowhere to be found. He stretched his neck outward, as if expecting someone to come in.
She didn't have to wait long. Xie Yue appeared in front of her within the time it took to burn an incense stick.
"Your Majesty, you may go now."
"Okay!" Lu Shi threw the book in his hand casually and stood up and walked out.
The thrown book fell at Xie Yue's feet. He pursed his lips slightly, bent down to pick up the book, and finally brushed off the dust on it. He slowly placed the book on the table before walking out.
The carriage slowly left the palace gate. The exclusive logo of the Regent's Palace was printed on the body of the carriage. It did not encounter any obstructions along the way.
When they arrived at a remote place, they suddenly changed to a carriage. This time the carriage was very low-key, as if it would not attract attention even if it entered a crowd.
"Where are we going?" Lu Shi looked at the scene with great curiosity.
"You'll know when your Majesty arrives." Xie Yue exuded a low aura. Although it was not obvious, Lu Shi, who was in the same carriage with him, still noticed his unhappiness.
Had she just provoked him?
Thinking of this, he asked aloud when he landed: "Your Majesty, was there anything wrong with me just now?"
She changed into her regular clothes in advance in order to leave the palace, so this couldn't be the case.
Xie Yue did not deny it. "Your Majesty should respect the textbooks instead of throwing them away casually."
"I understand, and I will never do it again!" I don't know why this angered this gentleman, but Lu Shi was very tactful and apologized.
Xie Yue nodded, his expression visibly warming, as if he was very satisfied with Lu Shi's statement.
Nothing unexpected happened along the way, and the group arrived at their destination smoothly - a manor.
It looks like an ordinary manor from the outside, but when you go inside you will find the uniqueness of this manor. There is no rockery or artificial lake for people to appreciate, but a large field of rice.
