"Your Majesty, Mr. Li has arrived at the palace gate for an audience."
"Xuan."
"According to the order."
Not long after, Li Fan walked in.
Emperor Delong sat cross-legged on the futon as usual, without raising his eyelids. It was not until Li Ao bowed to see him that he asked, "How is the matter that I told you?"
"Fortunately, it has been done."
"Very good, Li Qing does things very neatly."
…
It was unexpectedly easy to pass the test. Emperor Delong seemed to be immersed in his own world from beginning to end, and never had any doubts about Li Ao's response.
The reason why he praised Li Ao for his neat work was because it was not easy for ordinary strangers to easily deal with such a group of experienced Tiqi.
It may take many days of work, or even use the strange events of the mission itself to secretly pull the strings.
Li Fan did not choose that troublesome approach. He went there and came back the same day, obviously not doing so many bells and whistles.
Li Chuan, who had prepared a lot of sophistry, suddenly felt as if his fist had missed the target and hit cotton.
Is this old emperor trying to trick me?
His true-seeing eyes are hidden in the void, quietly observing the other party.
"Evil (Emperor)"
The writing composed of pale firelight was hidden in the dark mist, like a faint starlight in the dark sky.
I don’t know if Emperor Delong is too special. Even though his Dharma Eye has been greatly strengthened, Li Ao still can’t see more information from the other party. If it were Huang Ying, he would just put the "no chance" Everyone's identity is clear.
But just when Li Fan was thinking this, there was a strange power disturbance, as if smoke was lifted up from the dark smoke, revealing a corner of the emperor's robe.
The smoky, burning pain stimulates the true-seeing eyes, causing inexplicable dizziness even if the connection with oneself is cut off.
However, it was during this burst of burning pain that I could see more clearly.
A ray of light emerged like a dim light in the dark night, showing floating writing like a will-o'-the-wisp.
"A human emperor who was cursed for eating ◆◆, but he also gained immortality because of it."
this……
Li Fan was shocked for a moment and didn't know why.
Immediately afterwards, more writings made of pale firelight emerged.
"Every once in a while, reset the physical and mental state including emotions, memories, and consciousness."
"Current reset time: every full moon night at midnight"
"Master Li, Master Li?"
After a while, Huang Bo's reminder came to my ears, and I woke up like a dream.
"If there's nothing else, it's time to retreat."
Huang Bo reminded quietly.
"Don't disturb His Majesty's Qing Dynasty."
Li Fan turned his head and glanced at him, and then at Emperor Delong who was above him. His whole body had fallen silent, and then he slowly stood up and followed Huang Bo out of the hall.
"Eunuch Huang, this is the first time I have done such an errand for Your Majesty. Although I am lucky enough to do so, I still feel uneasy. I wonder if my father-in-law can give me some advice on how to do this?"
After exiting the door and turning to the palace wall on the other side, Li Fan quickly caught up with Huang Bo. As if making love, he took Huang Bo's hand and without any fuss, stuffed a large and valuable pearl into his hand. ….
Huang Bo was stunned for a moment, weighed it calmly, and smiled: "Master Li is going out now..."
"No outsiders, no outsiders at all. I just hope my father-in-law will give me some advice."
"Don't take advice seriously." Huang Bo looked at him deeply and said with a smile, "Actually, Mr. Li is a fan of the authorities. His Majesty has already praised you for your promptness in doing things, so what else can you do to be unreliable?
When we work for His Majesty, we rely on trust. His Majesty's trust is more important than anything else. Those achievements, rewards, etc. are just trivial matters. Mr. Li must never neglect the important things and treat those unimportant things as treasures.
. "
Li Chuan was thoughtful after hearing the words.
Huang Bo obviously misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he was impatient because he didn't get any substantial reward.
In fact, what Li Fan wants to know is whether there is a mechanism for mutual supervision or inspection results in the East and West Second Factory. If so, will Emperor Delong secretly send people to follow and follow, or simply use the Fuqi magic pen? Such means to confirm the results of killing those Tiqi.
But there’s something to what he said.
To serve the emperor is based on trust.
Trust this thing, more important than anything else.
Because if he deceived him, others might also deceive him. The emperor was deep in the palace and never went out. Even if an egg cost more than ten taels of silver, he had to hold his nose and believe it.
Moreover, killing those Tiqi may not necessarily be an important matter. What is really important and confidential is that I have not participated in it until now.
For example, get rid of the prince...
Thinking along this line of thinking, Li Ao also had some afterthoughts.
Emperor Delon was confident in his own vision and judgment.
This is the confidence that an elderly emperor who has been in charge of the empire for decades should have.
Especially in addition to the authority of the emperor, he also has uncanny power and can use strange magic to dominate human beings and control people's hearts...
In this case, he said it was completed, so why would he bother to send someone to verify it?
After figuring out these key points, Li Chuan suddenly realized.
Damn it, the reason why Emperor Delong forgave himself for killing Wu Xuan was because he had tried to control himself by using "different skills (imperial power)", and he felt that he had subtly formed his control!
But compared to these, Li Fan was more concerned about what he accidentally discovered.
Emperor Delong is actually immortal?
What exactly was he eating? Was it possible to reset the state by developing the uncanny realm to the extreme?
After returning home, Li Fan was still immersed in this unexpected discovery. It was not until Li Xin summoned him and asked Emperor Delong's reaction that he came back to his senses.
Li Fan thought for a while and told Emperor Delong in general that he trusted him. He did not raise any doubts, but began to make insinuations to find out what Li Xin knew.
Because he suddenly noticed something suspicious about Li Xin.
Logically speaking, Li Xin, as a powerful official, did not take human life into consideration at all. Even if the Shi Tiqi was innocent, after he learned about it, he would most likely not choose to let it go like he did.
But the fact is that he supported his choice and agreed to test him at the risk of deceiving the emperor.
Of course, this is because the real powerful people are confident and do not think that such things will damage their foundation, but more importantly, it seems that they have the same purpose as their own, and they want to take this opportunity to disobey Emperor Delong. Ichiban, try to see how he responds.
Could it be that he also knew something and thus had doubts about Emperor Delon's current state?
