Chapter 64 Rebellion?
Looking at King Xuan's tantrum and rolling around on the ground.
Yuan Hua sighed, his eyes full of indulgence.
"Alright, alright, how old are you? Still acting like a child."
"Since you have been wronged, I will naturally stand up for you."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
King Xuan hadn't even had a chance to make his demands yet.
On the dragon throne.
Yu Zhaoning, who had been watching the show while swinging her legs, suddenly frowned.
Those big, bright eyes stared intently at King Xuan below, who was crying like a baby.
She tilted her little head.
[System! System!]
[Why do I feel like this Prince Xuan's maternal uncle... is acting strange?]
Yu Zhaoning muttered to herself.
[Look how loudly he's crying, but there are hardly any tears.]
[And the way he looked at the Empress Dowager just now when he secretly glanced at her...]
[This doesn't look like someone who's been wronged and wants to cry to their older sister.]
[It seems like they're plotting something!]
[Quick, quick! Help me check this!]
[Is King Xuan a good guy or a bad guy in the story?]
Once this thought was voiced...
The ministers, who had initially felt some sympathy for King Xuan, were suddenly jolted.
What?
Is there a problem?
They subconsciously composed themselves and secretly glanced at the still howling prince out of the corner of their eyes.
Wasn't King Xuan always a brainless playboy?
Could there be some shady dealings hidden beneath this facade?
[Alright! Host, please wait a moment!]
The system's voice immediately rang in Yu Zhaoning's mind.
Immediately afterwards.
It was just a series of clattering sounds as pages were turned.
The next second.
The system suddenly let out a surprised exclamation, as if it had never seen anything like it before.
[Holy crap!!!]
[Host! This King Xuan is really a huge scandal!]
[He's not a pushover at all!]
[In the original story, he was definitely on the villain's side!]
[And it's the kind that's hidden the deepest!]
Upon hearing this...
Yu Zhaoning was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth, her big eyes wide open.
[ah?]
[Is he the main villain?]
That's right!
The system spoke at breakneck speed, spewing out plot details like beans being poured out.
[He wasn't bullied by the barbarians at all in his fiefdom!]
[Those so-called barbarians were actually his own private soldiers in disguise!]
[In the original story, he secretly colluded with the eldest prince to plot against your grandmother!]
[He is the Crown Prince's most capable right-hand man!]
[He feigns madness and foolishness on the surface, but harbors malicious intentions in reality!]
[Even after the eldest prince ascended the throne, he was still not satisfied and continued to secretly accumulate strength.]
[They even eventually rebelled!]
[If it weren't for the male lead's plot armor kicking in later, the Great Yu kingdom might have fallen to the Xuan family!]
These are my heartfelt words.
They were fried until everyone was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Yu Zhaoning's face turned deathly pale instantly.
[They've rebelled?]
[Will he kill me this time too?]
[Waaaaah, I'm so cute, how could he possibly hurt me!]
The system quickly offered words of comfort.
[Host, don't be afraid!]
[That old bastard is a cunning wolf!]
[In the original story, he helped the male protagonist deal with you and the Empress Dowager.]
[But in the end, for the sake of the throne, he even turned on the male lead!]
[This proves he was never a good person to begin with; he doesn't recognize anyone but the throne!]
We absolutely mustn't believe his lies, and we mustn't get close to him!
Otherwise, you'd be sold out and still have to count the money for him!
Yu Zhaoning listened in a daze, then nodded her little head thoughtfully.
Turns out he was a big bad guy!
Meanwhile, in the main hall...
The atmosphere had become extremely eerie.
Yuan Hua, who had initially looked distressed, was now in pain.
He froze completely.
She looked at her cousin kneeling below, still acting, and the tenderness in her eyes vanished instantly.
All that remained was a deep, dark place.
She never expected this.
My cousin, whom I've protected since childhood.
It turns out to be an ungrateful wretch that can't be tamed?
rebel?
In the original story, he also colluded with the eldest prince.
Should we join forces to deal with her?
OK.
That's really great!
At this moment, all the civil and military officials were also keeping their eyes down and their minds at rest.
I didn't dare to breathe.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at King Xuan had changed from pity to that of someone looking at a dead man.
Goodness.
This Prince Xuan is quite a talent.
Showing off acting skills right under the Empress's nose?
This is like trying to light a lantern in a latrine—it's suicidal!
King Xuan is weeping and pleading.
After howling for a while, I suddenly felt that the surroundings were unusually quiet.
Not a single minister came forward to offer words of comfort.
Even my cousin has fallen silent.
He felt inexplicably uneasy.
I couldn't help but secretly raise my head and look curiously at both sides and the stage.
Upon closer inspection...
They met the old tutor's ambiguous smile.
And then there were the looks from the entire court, as if they were looking at some rare monkey.
King Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
What happened?
Why does this atmosphere feel so gloomy?
Was I overacting?
That shouldn't be happening!
In the past, whenever I cried, made a scene, or threatened suicide, my cousin would always be the most soft-hearted.
He's definitely overthinking it!
King Xuan comforted himself inwardly.
His older cousin has always doted on him the most; this time, she'll definitely be able to get the military power!
Once you have military power...
Hmph!
Thinking about this...
King Xuan gritted his teeth and decided to strike while the iron was hot.
He squeezed out a few more tears, crawled forward on his knees, and looked at Yuan Hua with pleading eyes.
"cousin..."
Yuan Hua took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
She wants to see.
What exactly does this wolf want?
"Speak."
Yuan Hua's voice revealed no emotion.
"How exactly do you want me to make decisions for you?"
These words were spoken.
All the ministers were on tenterhooks.
Grand Empress Dowager!
Please, please don't agree!
His Majesty has said this guy is going to rebel!
King Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this.
It's done!
He immediately put on a pitiful look and began to speak.
"Cousin, you know too."
"Things are in complete chaos over there."
"The number of soldiers under my command is simply not enough."
"Please allow your younger brother...to recruit three thousand private soldiers!"
"I don't want much, just three thousand!"
"With these three thousand men, I will take them with me wherever I go."
"Those barbarians will definitely not dare to make any rash moves!"
Three thousand private soldiers?
This number was released.
Even Lin Qingyan's eyes turned cold.
There were strict restrictions on the recruitment of private soldiers by feudal lords.
King Xuan spoke of three thousand.
What are they trying to do?
Do you want to set up a small imperial court on the outskirts of the capital?
After King Xuan finished speaking, he keenly noticed that the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Especially the way my cousin looked at me.
It was so cold it felt like it was going to freeze him to death.
He felt a pang of panic.
Is it too much?
Yes, three thousand is indeed a bit sensitive.
King Xuan quickly changed his tune, holding up two fingers and waving them.
"Two...two thousand is fine too!"
"Cousin!"
"My mother only had me as her son before she passed away."
"Please, please save my life!"
"Can you really bear to see our Li family line die out?"
He once again played the trump card of family ties.
Trying to touch the soft spot in Yuan Hua's heart.
But this time...
Yuan Hua did not immediately agree as he usually did.
She just watched him quietly.
His eyes were as deep as a pool, as if they could see through all his pretenses.
The main hall was deathly silent.
Only King Xuan's slightly rapid breathing could be heard.
Just then.
A small dumpling on the dragon throne.
Suddenly, she excitedly rubbed her little hands together.
Those big eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint.
[Hehehe!]
[Since he delivered himself to our doorstep.]
[Then I won't be polite!]
Yu Zhaoning mentally tapped the system, her excitement even greater than when she had just exchanged for the gene pills.
[System! System!]
[Today we'll talk about the gossip surrounding King Xuan's maternal uncle!]
[Quickly, tell me all about his shady dealings!]
[This baby wants to see if he's interested in anything other than rebellion.]
[What other shady things did they do?!]
[Let's see if he doesn't kick the bucket this time!]
[Hmph!]
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials...
Not only was there no fear, but there was also no fear.
Instead, they were all secretly preparing their little stools in their hearts.
His eyes were full of anticipation.
Here it comes!
Your Majesty's little trumpet is about to start again!
This King Xuan...
It's probably going to cool down completely!
