Feng Anyan saw Shen Zhen walking towards him, so he hurried over and said a few words to Shen Zhen.

Basically just not to be angry over people like Su Shiqing.

But in Su Shiqing’s eyes, it was Shen Zhen seducing Feng Anyan.

He gritted his teeth tightly and swore he would never fall like this.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

“Is that Su Shiqing?” Liu Huan walked over with a glass of wine in his hand. He had been surrounded by people before, and only now extricated himself.

Shen Zhen and Feng Anyan stood on the side. When Liu Huan approached, he only heard Shen Zhen’s voice: “I’m going back first, we can meet again when there’s a chance.”

Feng Anyan was a standard flamboyant playboy, and he was still persuading: “What are you afraid of? There are quite a few people here this time, what do you like? I’ll call them over to accompany you?”

Seeing Liu Huan approaching, Feng Anyan changed his tone. He had a very good attitude when facing Liu Huan. After all, according to seniority, he had to call Liu Huan ‘uncle’.

However, although their seniority was different, Feng Anyan and Liu Huan had a good relationship.

Before meeting Chu Haoyi, Feng Anyan and Liu Huan were basically villains colluding together, eating, drinking and having fun together.

Shen Zhen was really not interested in chatting with them, but he still had to give face, so he left after a few pleasantries.

“CEO Liu, it’s rare that you didn’t bring a companion today.” Feng Anyan joked.

Liu Huan showed no expression: “It’s boring. Recently, I have been quite abstinent, and I feel that I can cultivate into an immortal.”

Feng Anyan: “Where’s your secretary? You didn’t bring him today.”

Liu Huan spread his hands, looking helpless: “He said he wants to play video games, what can I do? I can’t control him at all.”

The two were chatting, but for some reason their topic of conversation moved to Su Shiqing again.

“CEO Liu has lost interest in Su Shiqing? Weren’t you very interested a while ago?” Feng Anyan asked with a smile.

Liu Huan glanced at Feng Anyan, and smiled, “It’s just like eating desserts, you want to eat it all when you don’t have it, but you feel sick after you do eat it up.”

Feng Anyan sighed: “CEO Liu is still the same, a scum with a capital ‘S’.”

Liu Huan had a surprised expression: “Young Master Feng can actually call others scum.”

On the other side, Su Shiqing was sitting alone in the corner with his head bowed, looking pitiful, but there was no one around him to comfort him. His mind was in chaos, he didn’t know what happened, why he fell into such a state.

“Why are you here alone?” Someone suddenly spoke beside him.

Su Shiqing raised his head, and what he saw was a slightly fat face. The man who spoke was not tall, and he was about the same height as Su Shiqing when he sat down. He was also slightly bald on the top of his head, but it was not serious. He hugged Su Shiqing around the shoulders and asked, “Are you free tonight?”

These words were too blatant, and Su Shiqing understood the other’s meaning almost instantly. Just as he was about to refuse, the other said again: “Don’t you want to make your debut? If Young Master Feng doesn’t help you, I can help you.”

Su Shiqing glanced at the middle-aged man, and his body that had already turned sideways sat back to its original position. His body was stiff, but he still nodded. He thought of the days he had lived before, when he was by Qin Yue’s side, practically getting whatever he wanted. Although Qin Yue had yelled at him before, when he was good to him it was still good.

But now…..he also knew that if couldn’t earn any money and Liu Huan took the house back, his family would really have to sleep on the streets.

Su Shiqing allowed himself to be embraced by the man, resisting the urge to push away, and obediently leaned on the man’s shoulder.

The man’s hand was stroking his back through his clothes.

So disgusting…..

Su Shiqing thought in a slight daze.

But he couldn’t push it away.

At this time, Shen Zhen was already sitting in the car going back.

Qin Xing’s call came, and Shen Zhen answered the call. Qin Xing’s deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the line.

“Not back yet? Having fun?”

The corners of Shen Zhen’s mouth curved up unconsciously: “On the way back, I’m almost there, are you home?”

Qin Xing: “I arrived two hours ago.”

“Have you finished taking a shower?” Shen Zhen didn’t know what to ask, so he asked casually.

Qin Xing’s low chuckle came from the other end of the line: “Just finished washing up, and you can check when you come back.”

Shen Zhen’s ears were a little red.

Qin Xing said again: “Little rogue.”

Shen Zhen: “…..I…..”

Before Shen Zhen could say anything, Qin Xing said, “I’m going to hang up first, and wait for you to come back.”

Shen Zhen touched his ears, which were a little hot.

He felt that Qin Xing was becoming more and more natural with him now.

Although he was still a little unnatural.

Shen Zhen looked at the crowds outside the car window. There were a lot of people out at night, the office workers only having this time to come out for a walk. Some of them were in groups of twos and threes, and some families were also out for a walk. Couples held hands while they walked, often looking at each other and smiling.

He remembered that in his previous life, he was always walking alone on the streets, thinking about the meaning of living his life like this, and at the same time feeling that he couldn’t give up until the last moment. But even until his death, he didn’t understand what he did wrong.

On the day he died, it seemed to be very good weather, cloudless, the blue sky like a boundless sea

Then when he woke up, he found himself lying in a white space with no edge and no top. There was only a lonely wooden table without a chair, and there was a book on the table.

The cover of the book was white, and the title of the book was gold-stamped. The texture of the material itself was also very good. Shen Zhen didn’t understand why he was alive again when he was dead.

He looked at the book, which was called “Regardless of Everything”. Shen Zhen flipped through the book, and only then did he realize that his life was a joke.

In the story, he was not even a villain.

The villain could still live for dozens of chapters at least, causing trouble for Su Shiqing here and there.

But because he was an eyesore, he could only be regarded as cannon fodder, used to emphasize Qin Yue’s love for Su Shiqing.

Who told him to grow up with Qin Yue, and could be regarded as a childhood sweetheart to some extent, and add to the fact that there were vague ambiguous feelings between him and Qin Yue, so naturally he could only be unlucky.

But he didn’t stay in that strange space for long, when he saw a door suddenly appear in the original white space.

Shen Zhen still remembered that door. It was a warm yellow door, the door was not big, and it could only allow one person to pass through.

Shen Zhen opened the door and walked through. When he woke up again, he was back to the day before he left the Qin family.

He didn’t expect that the story could really be changed. He didn’t die at the hands of Qin Yue and Su Shiqing. He had his own career and his own lover as he had dreamt about a long time ago.

As for Qin Yue and Su Shiqing, he just needed to quietly wait for them to seek destruction themselves.

Their love needed the whole world to make concessions for them, towards people who have nothing to do with them, they could easily decide their fates.

As long as you displease them, their conscience would not hurt when they dealt a fatal hit.

Shen Zhen looked at his hand, his little finger was still trembling slightly.

He won’t use dirty tricks to harm people like Su Shiqing, but he won’t forget the hurt he had suffered.

The so-called throwing away everything in the past and moving towards a new life.

But when the enemy had not received retribution, how could he move towards a new life?

Only those who have not suffered, have not felt torment, and watched from a high place could say such words.

Shen Zhen took the elevator upstairs, he wiped away his expression, and opened the door.

The lights in the house were kept on.

Qin Shan helped him buy this house, and he had thought it was just a place to sleep at night.

Shen Zhen had never had any concept of the word “home” in his heart. The Qin family was not his home, nor the Shen family. He was just a temporary guest in the Qin family, and in the Shen family he was a nuisance that everyone disliked.

Only now did he have the concept of “home”.

“Home” was a place you could return to anytime.

“You’re back?” Someone came out of the bedroom, wearing a pair of loose trousers and bare-chested, showing lean muscles. His hair was still a little wet, and there were drops of water on his shoulders.

For some reason, Shen Zhen suddenly felt a little emotional. He walked over quickly and hugged the other person’s waist.

Qin Xing was a little stunned by Shen Zhen’s sudden action, but he quickly hugged Shen Zhen back and asked softly, “What’s the matter? Were you wronged outside? En? Acting like a baby when you come back?”

Shen Zhen almost laughed, and the originally depressed mood disappeared immediately: “Who is acting like a baby?”

Qin Xing kissed Shen Zhen’s face: “Who did you meet?”

Shen Zhen rested his chin on Qin Xing’s shoulder and whispered, “Su Shiqing.”

Qin Xing patted the back of Shen Zhen’s head: “Seeing him put you in a bad mood?”

Shen Zhen: “Yeah, I feel sick when I see him.”

Qin Xing said: “Then how can Xiao Zhen feel better? Shall I ask someone to beat up Su Shiqing? Or should I beat him up myself?”

Shen Zhen smiled: “Don’t be funny.”

He couldn’t imagine Qin Xing beating up someone, it was so strange.

Qin Xing: “Aren’t you angry?”

Shen Zhen said sullenly, “It’s much better now.”

Qin Xing said softly: “I have prepared something for you, come and have a look?”

Shen Zhen glanced at Qin Xing strangely, and asked curiously, “What is it?”

Qin Xing just smiled at Shen Zhen, but didn’t say anything else. He put his arm around Shen Zhen’s shoulders and pulled Shen Zhen into the bedroom.

Shen Zhen looked at the things on the bed with a blank expression on his face.

Qin Xing asked: “Do you like it?”

Looking at the two life-sized silicone dolls on the bed, Shen Zhen’s mind collapsed.

These two dolls were almost exactly the replicas of Shen Zhen and Qin Xing, and even their expressions were similar, but the hairstyle of Shen Zhen’s doll was still the one he had before.

Moreover, these two dolls were wearing suits, making them look like real people at first glance.

Shen Zhen: “…..What is this…..for?”

Qin Xing said: “I can take the doll-you with me when I am on a business trip in the future. And if I am not here, you can also still see me everyday. What do you think?”

Shen Zhen said with a complicated expression: “I don’t think so.”

Qin Xing sighed, and said softly: “I thought you would like it, and I even went abroad to find someone to custom make it.”

Because Qin Xing’s tone was too disappointed, Shen Zhen quickly comforted him: “I like it, I was just joking, I like it very much.”

Qin Xing suddenly laughed.

He led Shen Zhen to another bedroom.

Shen Zhen was still thinking when Qin Xing pressed down on him.

Was he being tricked?

After trying out various shameful positions that he was unwilling to try before, Shen Zhen was sure that he had indeed been tricked.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

And the person who tricked him was as if he possessed endless physical strength, causing him to be unable to even stop and reason with the other.

Before Shen Zhen completely exhausted his energy and fell asleep, what he was thinking in his mind was——

Old hooligan, too tricky indeed.

“Mr. He, Mrs. He, the private room is ready, please follow me.”

Yang Yun took He Yanfeng’s arm, smiled and nodded: “Thank you.”

“It’s our honor that Mr. He and Mrs. He chose our hotel for dinner.” The manager led the way with a smile on his face, and his tone was enthusiastic but not overly friendly: “After I found out yesterday that Mr. He and Mrs. He had reserved a place, I made the decision to leave a portion of the broth our head chef cooked today. I heard from Mrs. He that your son loves braised meatballs, so the kitchen simmered it this morning, and left it on a slow fire that is just perfect to eat now.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Jiang Chen and He Qianmin followed two steps behind the He Yanfeng couple. He Qianmin subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Chen when he heard these words, and found that his expression was as calm as if he hadn’t noticed anything unusual, so he quietly let out a relieved breath.

“Here we are, I hope Mr. and Mrs. He and your two sons have a pleasant meal.”

The manager helped to close the door of the private room and retreated. The two solid wood doors were closed, which also isolated the sound from the outside, and the air in the room became silent for a moment.

The private room was large, decorated in a modern Chinese style, the high ceiling was bright, and the dining area was clearly distinguished from the leisure area. There was still a while before the food would be served, and the four of them sat on the sofa in the leisure area. Soon, the waiter who came in to take their orders broke the silence.

Yang Yun casually took a menu and handed it to Jiang Chen: “Xiao Chen, you order first.”

“Thank you, Aunt Yang.” Jiang Chen took it politely, ordered a dish at random, and handed the menu to He Qianmin.

“Don’t you want to order some more?” Yang Yun asked, concerned: “Your hand is not healed yet, and you need to eat some food that can promote wound healing. Would you like to order a bowl of pigeon soup?”

Jiang Chen declined with a smile: “No need, I’m not too hungry now, thank you Aunt Yang.”

Yang Yun slightly curved her lips, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.

He Qianmin glanced at his mother without any trace, and said, “Mom, I just drank a bottle of Coke after class, and I’m not hungry now, you can make the orders.”

Yang Yun immediately diverted her attention: “Didn’t Mom tell you to drink less of these things? Coke is not healthy, and you are still growing now. Drinking too much carbonated drinks is not good for your health.”

“I haven’t been drinking much.” He Qianmin turned to look at Jiang Chen: “My brother can testify for me.”

“Qian Min rarely buys soft drinks. It should likely be a treat from a classmate, and he couldn’t refuse.”

Only then did Yang Yun feel relieved. She took He Qianmin’s hand and chided him: “You really need to listen to your brother more at school, but your brother is already in the third year of high school, and he is also so busy with work, and now his hand is injured, so remember to take good care of him, but you can’t always look for him either, it will disrupt your brother’s studies.” She turned her head to look at Jiang Chen with gentle eyes: “Xiao Chen, you have to take good care of yourself at school, you know that your health is the most important thing, right?”

Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, “Okay.”

After the waiter finished taking the orders and walked out, He Yanfeng got up and said, “Qian Min, stay with your mother outside, and Xiao Chen, go inside and have a talk with me.”

He Qianmin’s body, which was sitting crookedly, instantly straightened, and then he got up as well: “I’ll go too.”

He Yanfeng turned around, crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows: “You and your mother haven’t seen each other for so long, can’t you spend more time with her?”

“Won’t it be the same when we eat together later?” He Qianmin walked to Jiang Chen’s side: “Besides, what could you and my brother have to talk about that you must avoid me and my mother, it’s fine if I follow along.”

“Qian Min, sit outside with Mom for a while, and tell me how you have been at school over the past half a month.” Yang Yun secretly pulled Qian Min’s arm: “Just wait a bit, your father and brother will tell you when they are done talking.”

He Qianmin pulled at his hand, and it was the first time that he knew how strong his normally fragile looking mother could be.

Jiang Chen raised his eyes and glanced at He Qianmin. Seeing that he stopped struggling, he turned his head and said, “Uncle He, we can go over there to talk”

He Yanfeng walked to the side of the display shelves, walked around the screen, and opened a hidden door. Only then did Jiang Chen discover that there was a small conference room hidden within the private room.

“Come in.”

He Yanfeng found an armchair to sit down on, and beckoned his hand at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen closed the door, glanced at the lush green plants outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and sat down opposite He Yanfeng.

“Do you like the decoration here?” He Yanfeng looked out the window: “There’s a lot of greenery.”

“My father likes this decoration style.” Jiang Chen slightly curved his eyes: “My mother likes flowers and plants very much.”

He Yanfeng nodded slightly and slowly twice, then changed the topic and said, “I asked you to come in for a private conversation, you are probably a little confused right now.”

“Before…..” He Yanfeng tapped his fingers on the desk, paused for a while, as if he were considering his words: “My wife and I have thought about how to tell you something for a long time, but before we could, a lot of things happened, and after going through all of this, I think, maybe speaking directly and frankly is the most effective way to go about this.”

Jiang Chen nodded: “Uncle He can speak directly if you have something to say.”

He Yanfeng took out a document envelope from a drawer on one side, and put it in front of Jiang Chen: “Look at this first.”

Jiang Chen looked down at the document envelope, but didn’t open it right away.

He Yanfeng returned to his original position and sat down, nit urging him. He said gently and slowly: “I remember the first time I saw you, it was in a bookstore, you had a little girl with you and you were talking to Li Xiao and Qian Yu. I was very surprised, Qian Yu is not a shy girl, but she seems to change when she is with you. Later, I was even more surprised when I saw you getting along with Qian Min. He Qianmin, that kid, is even seldom so obedient to his elders, he is only so obedient in front of you that I almost dare not recognize him, then I thought, what kind of ability do you have to inspire such docility in our little devil…..”

Jiang Chen opened the document envelope and pulled out several stapled A4 papers.

He Yanfeng observed Jiang Chen’s expression calmly, and continued: “Later, as I got to know you more and more, I have to admit that you are indeed a very likable child, worthy of everyone’s liking. And then I received this document envelope.”

Jiang Chen turned to the last page of the results, paused for a moment, and gently placed the report on the table.

“You don’t look surprised at all.” He Yanfeng said: “Your mother and I were much more surprised than you when we got this report.”

Jiang Chen didn’t hide it: “There are too many similar coincidences, I had some guesses before.”

He Yanfeng sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Jiang Chen quietly: “Then have you ever investigated it?”

“No.”

The smile on He Yanfeng’s face faded a little bit, and his tone became a little cryptic: “Why didn’t you check it out?”

Jiang Chen raised his eyes: “Why should I?”

Two pairs of similar eyes faced each other, and the dust floating in the air also seemed to slow down, leaving only the sound of gentle breathing in the room.

He Yanfeng chuckled lightly, crossed his legs, and leaned back: “Before I thought, of my two sons, one seems to be steady and mature but lacks the ability to take on responsibility, while the other seems to be brash and flamboyant but actually shields himself up like a hedgehog. Why is it that not one of them has a personality like mine, but now I know, it turns out that isn’t the case.”

“Xiao Chen, you don’t need to feel hostility towards me and your mother.” He Yanfeng smiled, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes: “We are your biological parents, and the starting point for everything we do is out of love. I also respect you very much, so the first moment we knew about this, we didn’t immediately go to the Jiangs to negotiate with your adoptive parents to get you back, but found a suitable time to tell you about it first. Then it’s up to you to decide when to tell your adoptive parents.”

Jiang Chen put the report back into the brown document envelope, and said calmly, “Even if I say that I don’t want to change my identity back for the time being, and I don’t want you to publicize this matter, you will still follow my wishes?”

“We are willing to discuss it with you.” He Yanfeng smiled slightly: “Find a time that both parties will think is suitable.”

“Half a year.” Jiang Chen said, “I’ll announce this after taking the college entrance examination.”

Even though He Yanfeng thought that Jiang Chen would delay for a while in order to mentally prepare the Jiangs, he never thought that it would take half a year for Jiang Chen to open his mouth. Almost without thinking, he shook his head and said, “That is not possible.”

Worrying about Jiang Chen’s misunderstanding, He Yanfeng quickly explained: “Your identity is very important to the He family. The He family does not just consist of me and your mother, but also your uncles, aunts, and grandparents. Especially your grandparents. After they learned of your identity, they became very anxious to meet you. As your father, I can try my best to satisfy your request, but as their son, half a year is too long for the elderly.”

Jiang Chen didn’t expect this to be the reason. Facing He Yanfeng’s gentle and sincere eyes, he slightly pursed his lips, and said his reason: “My mother will give birth in four months, I don’t want her to suffer any shock during this period, and she is also giving birth at an advanced age, so she needs more care than other mothers during the post pregnancy period. If she learns of my identity, it will definitely be difficult for her to recover her health in peace.”

He Yanfeng didn’t expect Jiang Chen to bring up this reason for the half a year wait. He pondered for a moment, and said: “Xiao Chen, I understand your worries and concerns, and I know that you have a deeply close relationship with your adoptive parents, but half a year is really too long. I will go back and discuss with your grandfather, and Dad cannot promise you what will happen in the end.”

Hearing the last part of He Yanfeng’s words, Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered slightly. He paused for a moment, and pursed his lips before saying, “Thank you.”

He Yanfeng had been observing Jiang Chen’s expression, and seeing that he did not show any repulsion or resistance to his claim, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he said while the atmosphere was good: “There is no need to say thank you between father and son. So long as it is not a crime, Dad will support you unconditionally.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

The corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth slightly raised, but he didn’t speak.

He Yanfeng shook his leg, stood up and said, “Come on, let’s go out and tell your younger brother about this. I imagine his expression will be very stunning later, maybe he will even jump up in surprise.”

Jiang Chen glanced over He Yanfeng’s energetic expression, then stood up, thinking to himself: Unfortunately, He Yanfeng was doomed to be disappointed.

After Becoming The Tyrant

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 099 Funeral And Reform

2 Comments

At this time, the coffin of the Duke of Buckingham rested in St Wyth’s Cathedral.

The funeral would be held in four days. Before that, representatives from various states and counties had already rushed to the Rose Palace from all over the land. The Duke of Buckingham was practically the last symbol of the empire of the last era, and his funeral was far more meaningful than all his contemporaries.

General Johan stood by his father’s coffin during the days awaiting the arrival of the funeral attendants.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

This was probably the time when General Johan spent the most time with the Duke of Buckingham. When he was young, the Duke of Buckingham led his troops to many expeditions, and when he grew up, he took over the task of stationing troops on the battlefield from his father. Accompanying the Duke of Buckingham with General Johan were his old friends.

First mate Charles also rushed to Metzl Castle on the day of the King’s return. He entered the palace to meet the King and handed a sword to the King.

“This was the sword he used back then.”

Charles looked at the long sword inlaid with rubies on the hilt with some reminiscence.

“At that time he left it on the ship, and now it is returned to its original owner.”

When the young Duke of Buckingham left the Walway Pirates, he asked if they needed some material support. At that time, the pirates on the ship drove him off the ship, clamoring that they would always have opportunities to rob the nobles. But, after the Duke of Buckingham left, they found the sword he had left in the room where he lived.

This sword should be a gift from the duke’s father, Charles the Lion, when he became a knight.

When the Duke of Buckingham bequeathed the sword that meant so much to him to the Walway pirates, the Walway pirates recognized him as one of their brothers.

“Let it accompany him,” Charles said, smiling.

When a knight with status was buried, descendants would use his sword as a funerary object. That was a symbol of his faithful fulfillment as a knight, fighting bravely, guarding the land and protecting the weak. But everything that belonged to the Duke of Buckingham was turned into bloodstained earth, and neither his armor nor the sword he carried at the time remained.

Charles knew this, and he came this time to bring the Duke’s sword.

According to the normal practice of the Holy See, it should be the Archbishop of St. Wyth Cathedral who presided over the entire ceremony of the Duke of Buckingham’s funeral. He was the head of the bishops of the entire Legrand area.

But the Archbishop of St. Wyth, who was supposed to be one of the most important figures at the funeral, was instead forgotten by the King.

Perhaps, it should not be called forgotten.

Rather, the King did not intend to involve Archbishop St. Wyth in this funeral.

“Father Anil has arrived.”

The Master of the Households reported to the King.

………………

Father Anil was waiting outside the Rose Palace to be received by the King.

He reached out and gently drew the cross on his chest, and whispered passages from the holy book in his heart.

At the invitation of the King, he came to Metzl Castle, the capital of Legrand, under the protection of several Iron Rose knights——or “wardens” as was likely more appropriate.

“Abbot.”

The young Father Remy looked at his mentor worriedly, and from time to time glanced at the swords on the waists of several Iron Rose knights in front of them, hesitating to speak.

Logically, as an ordinary abbot in a remote place, it should be an honor to be summoned by the King. But……

Father Remy couldn’t help but think of the story that had been spreading more and more these days——

It was said that the rebellion in the Northland was provoked by the Holy Court, and the death of the Duke of Buckingham was directly related to the Holy Court, which made the young king furious like never before. The always ruthless and tyrannical monarch was determined to set off a bloody war of vengeance for his uncle, and this vengeance would be directed at all the clergy in Legrand.

Those who talked of this privately regarded it as an after-dinner conversation topic, but Father Remy could not help being particularly alarmed.

He was different from ordinary priests. Before leaving the Holy Court with Father Anil, he also came into contact with some powers in the Holy Court and knew some things that ordinary people did not know.

Father Remy felt that the death of the Duke of Buckingham might really have something to do with the Holy Court.

If the Duke of Buckingham really died at the hands of the Holy Court, then the King, who had a habit of doing shocking or outrageous things, was likely to launch a bloody revenge campaign on the Holy Court forces in Legrand.

At this time, Abbot Anil received the King’s invitation, and it was difficult for Father Remy to control himself from not thinking more.

After persuading him to no avail, Father Remy worried that his mentor would come to the murderous palace alone, so he followed Father Anil here as well. Along the way, he clearly felt the coldness and hostility from the Iron Rose knights——this made him even more uneasy.

In the eyes of Father Remy, the magnificent and majestic Rose Palace was a huge execution ground.

“It’s all right, child.”

Father Anil opened his eyes, and he gently comforted his student.

Father Anil raised his head and looked at the huge cross on the top of St. Wyth’s Cathedral in the distance, as if he could see through it to another country on the west bank of the Abyss Strait, as well as the Holy Court that was decorated with crosses.

The news from Bressi and the Holy Court came day by day, the war in the Northland subsided day by day, and the pain in Abbot Anil’s heart grew day by day.

Sure enough, the Holy Court intervened in the rebellion in the Northland. In the name of the Holy Lord, countless lives were drawn into the vortex of war.

And war only brought hatred.

Rumors of the Jing’s imminent bloody vengeance against all the clergy unsettled Abbot Anil.

Among the clergy, there may be some people who were indeed the dark chess pieces of the Holy Court, but there were also more people who had nothing to do with the rebels. They were just some pious young people, but now they must bear this hatred because of what the Holy Court and the Pope had done.

And now, the torrent of hatred had swept over them.

The pain caused by war was difficult to erase, even if the victory was won in the end, the trauma was still extremely heavy. The free towns of Legrand, which directly bordered Newcastle and Balboa, suffered a brutal massacre during the rebellion. In fact, many people in the rebel army simply obeyed the orders of their lord.

The family of both sides, the elder brothers, died in this war, and many families were broken in just two months.

After happiness had become an illusion, people needed a target to divert the hatred.

The reason why the rumor spread so quickly was inseparable from this kind of pain and hatred.

Abbot Anil had a premonition of this scene when the war just started. And these days, he began to feel the change of people’s attitude towards the monastery: people did not accept their help to rebuild their homes, the poor refused their alms, and the number of people who went to pray began to decrease…..

The young priests in the monastery slowly hung their heads before the repulsion, not knowing what they had done wrong.

What were they doing wrong?

Didn’t they hold compassion in their hearts?

“But……”

Father Remy’s heart was bitter, and he wanted to say something else.

“Holy Lord above.”

Abbot Anil tapped lightly on his chest several times, and shook his head lightly to stop his words.

It was not that he didn’t know the danger of coming to the Rose Palace at this time, but he couldn’t avoid it just because of the possibility of danger. Those young pious people shouldn’t die when they are innocent. He wanted to say some things to the King, and wanted to make his pleas with the King. If this was really a path to meeting with death, then please start with him first.

This was their sin, and he had no regrets.

The Master of the Households came out of the palace.

He asked Father Anil to go in alone.

………………

The palace, the King’s study.

The King was going through all the records of the funeral rites.

A large part of the importance of the Holy Court’s status in the secular world came from the intermediary status of their clergy. In the concept of the Holy Court, believers were far away from the Kingdom of God, and bishops and priests held the key to the “gate of the Kingdom of God”. Funerals were an obvious manifestation of this status, and the core point of view was the “purgatory theory”.

But not everyone recognized this intermediary role of the clergy.

It was precisely because some theologians have held different opinions for a long time, the Holy See specially made a formal regulation at the Whitsunday Sanctuary in 1411: Purgatory was a place of exile and suffering, where the soul would be purified by the fires of purgatory until salvation was complete after the death of a person until before the “Doomsday Judgment”.

The King also heard rumors that he would raise a bloodbath in all the monasteries and churches, and to some extent, he also secretly facilitated the spread of these rumors.

However, the King did not intend to really do that.

One reason:

As early as a thousand years, people’s daily life had been integrated with faith. It could be said that belief had become an indispensable aspect of life. If one wanted to eliminate it directly, it would only have an impact on the existing system, and it might even cause the existing system to collapse.

The King did not deny that this belief had already become part of today’s Legrand.

His goal was not the faith itself, but the Holy Court as a belief institution.

After returning to Legrand, the King received some information about Bressi’s kingdom:

At the coronation of Prince Charles, he fulfilled the “Gift of Clemo V” by handing over to the Pope the secular dominion of the whole of the Lowlands and the western part of the kingdom.

But the Holy Court’s actions were not all smooth sailing. If it was only limited to this, they would not encounter much resistance, but if they wanted to truly gain control over the secular political economy, they would inevitably have some conflicts with the old local interests.

The Holy Court’s energy was spent on Bressi, and this was Legrand’s opportunity.

He wanted to build Legrand’s own church.

The Master of the Households knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

The King closed the file in his hand, which was a record of the 1411 Whitsunday Council.

In this record, a priest protested the Pope’s interpretation of the “Confessions”. He denied the “purgatory theory” and the key concept of “the gate of the Kingdom of God”.

The priest, called:

Anil.

Su Shiqing froze in place, he couldn’t believe that Shen Zhen would say such a thing.

Shen Zhen just looked at him coldly.

Feng Anyan said in a manner fearing that the world would not be chaotic enough: “CEO Shen, what is there to talk about with him? Thinking that if he begged others, they should do things according to his wishes. I have seen people with big faces, but I have never seen such a big face as his.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

He still remembered how Su Shiqing blabbered on to him, his head completely in his own world, when they first met.

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen, bit his lips as if he was being bullied, and said, “I know you don’t like me because of my relationship with Qin Yue, but I have no relationship with him now, so I’ll give him back to you, isn’t that enough?! What else do you want? Since you love Qin Yue so much, shouldn’t you be happy? I’ve already retreated, and I’ve fulfilled your wish, so just what do you want me to do?”

Su Shiqing broke down a bit, and he said to Feng Anyan: “I know you are the young master of the Feng family, and I know it’s easy for you to mess with me, but what did I do wrong? Can any of you tell me what I did wrong?”

“I have never harmed anyone, nor have I done anything to make others unhappy, and I hope everyone is well.”

“Xiao Zhen, have you always thought that I stole Qin Yue?”

“If he really loves you, he wouldn’t be taken away by anyone, he just doesn’t love you.”

“Is it my fault that he doesn’t love you?”

“Why don’t you think about it, why is it that you and Qin Yue have known each other since childhood, but he still fell in love with me?”

Su Shiqing calmed down slowly, looking at Shen Zhen with even a hint of pity in his eyes.

“Because you are selfish, you are never considerate of Qin Yue, you only think about yourself.”

“So he doesn’t love you, and you feel that the whole world is persecuting you, but you haven’t thought about the reason at all.”

Shen Zhen suddenly asked: “Have you said enough?”

Su Shiqing: “No I haven’t!”

Su Shiqing said loudly as if smashing a pot to pieces just because it was cracked: “I’ve always been considerate of you. Before I was with Qin Yue, I also asked for your opinion!”

This was the first time Shen Zhen heard about it, he asked curiously, “You asked my opinion?”

Su Shiqing said: “I asked you, if there was a person who liked me, but you liked him, what would you do?”

Shen Zhen fell into deep thought. He seemed to remember that there was such a thing.

That was when Su Shiqing first arrived at the Qin family manor, and Shen Zhen still had sympathy for him, thinking that Su Shiqing was another person who was not liked by his original family.

And at that time, Su Shiqing hadn’t shown his true colors, he was obedient and sensible, and by Shen Zhen’s side, he was like a well-behaved younger brother.

At that time, Shen Zhen felt that Su Shiqing was pitiful, and he was indeed kind towards him.

Su Shiqing always looked pitiful at that time.

He never said anything when he wanted something, just stared at that thing with longing.

When Shen Zhen asked, he would say, “When I was at home, my other brothers and sisters had it, and only I didn’t.”

So Shen Zhen’s heart softened and he would give him the thing.

At the beginning, all he liked was Shen Zhen’s little bits and pieces of knick-knacks.

Like watches, or out-of-print music albums.

Later, what he stared at was what Qin Yue gave to Shen Zhen.

At that time, Qin Yue and Shen Zhen had a very good relationship. Whenever Qin Yue saw any good things outside, he would buy them for Shen Zhen.

Because it was gifted by Qin Yue, Shen Zhen didn’t speak when he saw Su Shiqing’s longing expression a few times, and turned a blind eye, but he would compensate Su Shiqing in other places.

For example, giving Su Shiqing his bank card, and there were at least millions of yuan in it, and he would generously tell Su Shiqing to buy whatever he wanted.

But Su Shiqing didn’t, he wouldn’t take that card, nor would he buy things for himself, but always stared at Shen Zhen’s things.

Shen Zhen felt that Su Shiqing lacked love, so he didn’t say anything about it.

Until Su Shiqing saw the photo album of Shen Zhen and Qin Yue. At that time, the mobile phone was not a smart phone, and the photos could only be washed out for storage. In the photo album, there were photos of Shen Zhen and Qin Yue from childhood to adulthood.

Sometimes Su Shiqing would ask about Shen Zhen and Qin Yue——

Su Shiqing would look with a pair of wide rabbit-like innocent eyes and ask, “Is Eldest Young Master Qin good-tempered?”

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “He has a good temper, and he basically won’t ever get angry, but his tongue is very acrimonious.”

Su Shiqing’s eyes widened: “Acrimonious?”

Shen Zhen just laughed and didn’t continue to say anything.

Su Shiqing asked curiously, “What kind of person does Eldest Young Master Qin like?”

Shen Zhen remembered what Qin Yue said to him before, blushed a little, coughed and said, “I don’t know either.”

Su Shiqing was thoughtful, and after a while he asked, “Ah Zhen, I want to ask you a question.”

Shen Zhen: “Just ask.”

Su Shiqing: “If, I mean, if the person you like suddenly likes your friend, would you be angry?”

Shen Zhen said at the time: “I would not be angry.”

Su Shiqing: “Why? If it’s me, I’ll be angry.”

Shen Zhen thought for a while: “I might be angry, but relationships are not one-sided. If I like him one-sidedly, then this relationship is only mine. It is not considered a relationship, and I have no position to be angry.”

What Shen Zhen didn’t expect at the time was.

Su Shiqing had already had his sights on Qin Yue before he even met Qin Yue.

At this moment, Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing, and suddenly asked, “Su Shiqing, do you think that other people’s belongings are better than your own?”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen, and he said almost hysterically: “You still think I stole Qin Yue, don’t you? I, Su Shiqing, am not so cheap that I always covet other people’s things! Qin Yue didn’t like you before, and he won’t like you now. You think you will feel better by pushing the problem on my head, don’t you?!”

“In love, there never exists stealing or not! Only those who feel love for each other should be together!”

Shen Zhen chuckled lightly, with mockery in his eyes: “Is that so?”

He lowered his head and whispered into Su Shiqing’s ear, “Since you know, why did you drug my drink?”

Su Shiqing fell to the ground in shock.

It shouldn’t be! It shouldn’t be possible! How did Shen Zhen know?

He never told anyone!

“Because you weren’t sure if Qin Yue loved you at the time, right?” Shen Zhen smiled, “Because you weren’t sure, you could only work your schemes on me, as long as Qin Yue knew that I slept with someone else, based on his personality, of course, it was impossible to have anything further with me.”

“You clearly got what you want, so why won’t you let me go?”

“I don’t!” Su Shiqing said, “I don’t know anything, what drug? I don’t know!”

Su Shiqing suddenly raised his head: “It was clearly you who drugged yourself, you just want me to know, you want me to give you the drug, so that you could sleep with Uncle Qin!”

“It’s your heart that’s vicious, and you’re the one who schemed against me! You schemed against everyone, including Uncle Qin!”

Feng Anyan had already gone elsewhere when Su Shiqing started talking nonsense.

Now only Shen Zhen and Su Shiqing were left here, and no one knew what they were talking about.

After all, Feng Anyan was a clever person, and was clear about what to know and what not to know.

Su Shiqing: “You don’t want people to know your true face, do you? Knowing that the successful CEO Shen had relied on sleeping with a man to climb up. Have you always felt that you are better than me? You think I rely on Qin Yue, right?”

Shen Zhen looked at him. He didn’t know whether Su Shiqing was born with a twisted heart, or whether it was cultivated after.

Shen Zhen asked him, “Do you think I’m the same as you?”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen: “You think you are different from me, but in fact you are worse than me. There is no one in your heart but yourself. No matter how good I treat you, you will never remember. You just think I snatched Qin Yue away, but you never think about how you treated me before.”

“How I treated you?” Shen Zhen almost laughed, it was the first time he saw such a person who reversed black and white, “Did I not treat you good before?”

Su Shiqing: “What is good?”

“You give me what you don’t want every time, as if giving charity. Do you think I appreciate that?”

Shen Zhen: “Charity?”

Su Shiqing looked at him, and finally there was resentment visible in his eyes: “Do you still remember that you gave me your watch? You said you haven’t worn it for a long time, and you don’t like it anymore, so you give it to me.”

Shen Zhen laughed out loud.

At that time, Su Shiqing displayed a very low self-esteem. He said this to take care of Su Shiqing’s self-esteem and give him the watch without making him feel bad.

But it turned out that in Su Shiqing’s view, his actions were an insult to Su Shiqing.

“But Qin Yue wasn’t given to me by you.” Su Shiqing said, “He chose me over you.”

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing.

For the first time, he discovered that Su Shiqing was so pathetic.

Su Shiqing lived out his days lost in bizarre thoughts.

He was a sick man.

Su Shiqing said to Shen Zhen with provocation, “Do you hate me?”

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing calmly.

Su Shiqing smiled and said, “I hate you too.”

After finally saying these words, Su Shiqing himself seemed to relax a lot.

He said: “You acted like you treated me very well, but you looked down on me the whole time, and never regarded me as an equal person to you.”

Shen Zhen: “Then what do you want from me?”

Su Shiqing didn’t speak.

Shen Zhen: “How can I treat you so that you don’t think it’s a charity?”

Su Shiqing: “I…..”

Shen Zhen sneered: “I must be like Qin Yue, completely entranced by you, and give you everything I can, only that way it’s not charity, right?”

Su Shiqing: “You are misinterpreting my meaning!”

Shen Zhen: “We all know whether I misinterpreted it or not.”

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing condescendingly: “This is the last time I hear you spout such drivel.”

“If you stay far away from me, maybe I will let you go.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

“This is the last time I am warning you, Su Shiqing, if you appear in front of me again and make me feel discomfort, your end will only be worse, understand?”

“I don’t want to repeat the same thing a second time.”

Shen Zhen took one last look at Su Shiqing and walked to the other side.

“He Qianmin, someone is looking for you!”

He Qianmin was talking to his classmates, and asked casually, “Who is it?”

“It seems to be your parents.”

“My parents?” He Qianmin raised his head and looked out the window: “Where are they?”

“In the teacher’s office now.”

“Office?” The boy who was playing a video game at the desk in front of He Qianmin raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said, “Having been away from home for half a month, Uncle He and Aunt Yang are here to arrest a certain someone?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

“Shut up.” He Qianmin threw a book over, frowning slightly.

“Don’t plan to go there?” Shi Ao put down the game console, turned his head and said, “By the way, it seems that Brother Jiang Chen is back at school today. Are you going to go out to eat with him after school? Add me.”

“Two words.” He Qianmin crooked his fingers, and when Shi Ao leaned over, he smiled and said two words: “Dream, on.”

Shi Ao was not annoyed, but leaned closer: “In exchange, I’ll tell you a secret.”

“Not interested.” He Qianmin said: “I won’t let you go with us, that uncle of yours is annoying enough, you are even more annoying.”

Shi Ao tilted his head and said with a smile, “Not even interested in the progress of the case investigation?”

He Qianmin: “What progress?”

Shi Ao: “Are you taking me along?”

He Qianmin: “You talk first.”

Shi Ao: “You agree first.”

“He Qianmin——” the class leader stood at the front door and shouted, “Our homeroom teacher asked you to go to the office building!”

He Qianmin got up: “You have to guarantee it’s news that I don’t know.”

“Of course.” Shi Ao said, “I overheard it from my uncle, I guarantee you don’t know.”

He Qianmin nodded: “Deal.”

When the bell rang for the last period, He Qianmin knocked on the door of the first year office.

“Please come in.”

He Qianmin glanced at his parents sitting on one side, stood at the door and said, “Teacher He, you wanted to see me.”

“It’s your parents who want to see you. They want to know about your situation at school, and then they have something to say to you.” Teacher He stood up, turned to look at the He Yanfeng couple, and said with a smile: “Then I won’t disturb you.”

Yang Yun said with a gentle smile, “Thank you, Teacher He.”

He Qianmin withdrew his gaze, turned and walked out: “I still have to go to class, so we can talk about it later.”

“He Qianmin.” Teacher He stopped He Qianmin: “Missing this self-study class will not delay the progress of your studies. You can take your time with your parents here.”

He Qianmin said lightly, “There’s nothing to talk about.”

“Qian Min, wait a minute.” Yang Yun grabbed He Qianmin’s arm and said, “Mom and Dad have something important to tell you.”

“What is it?” He Qianmin pursed his lips, then turned around and asked.

“After school later…..”

Yang Yun paused, then turned to look outside the door.

“I heard that Jiang Chen is back?”

“He came back during the first period.”

“How’s the situation? Was he injured?”

“There was a bandage on his hand, it doesn’t look too serious, but when encountering this kind of thing, I’m afraid it would take some time for anyone to adjust their mental state.”

There was chatter in the corridor, and two teachers walked in while chatting.

“Yesterday, the third year group had a meeting about this matter, saying…..Teacher He?” The teacher who walked in stopped talking, looked at He Qianmin beside Teacher He, and then at the He Yanfeng couple beside him, footsteps pausing: “This is?”

“The parents of our student.” Teacher He said with a smile: “Came to the school to find out about the student’s situation.”

The two teachers greeted the He Yanfeng couple, walked to their seats and sat down. Since there were other people around, they paused in their talk.

“How about this.” Teacher He said: “The small conference room next door is empty, and no one will go there during this period. Why don’t you go to the small conference room to talk, Mr. He?”

He Yanfeng: “I’m sorry for the trouble.”

Yang Yun took He Qianmin’s hand and said softly: “Mom and Dad really have something very important to tell you, and we also came here today to apologize to you, can you give us this chance to ask for forgiveness?”

He Qianmin pursed his lips, turned around and followed into the small conference room.

Teacher He took them to the conference room, stood at the door and said, “Then I will leave you to it.”

Yang Yun smiled and said, “I’m sorry to trouble you today.”

“It is of no matter.” Teacher He smiled, and when the door was half closed, he thought of something, stopped and said, “Mr. He, Mrs. He, I want to ask you something.”

He Qianmin found a random place to sit down, and raised his head upon hearing this. Yang Yun, “Please go ahead?”

“Excuse me…..but do you know the student Jiang Chen?”

“Jiang Chen?” Yang Yun was taken aback for a moment, and He Yanfeng asked, “Why does Teacher He ask this?”

“It’s like this.” Teacher He thought for a while, and said, “Before, He Qianmin got in a fight with our class’s Shi Ao, I asked him to call his guardians over, but the one who came was Jiang Chen from class 1 of the third year. They both said that they are brothers, but I went to class 1 of the third year to ask about the situation, and it seems that Jiang Chen and He Qianmin are not related…..”

Seeing that He Yanfeng and Yang Yun had different expressions, Teacher He explained: “Student He Qianmin’s parents, I don’t want to blame the children for this, and I don’t want you to blame the children for it. I just want to ask whether there is a lack of communication at home, or whether you are a bit too strict on him, so he chose not to notify you when he needed to call his guardians, and instead found a child of around the same age to pretend to be——”

“Jiang Chen is indeed Qian Min’s older brother.” He Yanfeng smiled lightly, interrupting Teacher He, “This matter is a bit complicated to explain, please forgive us for not being able to tell you the specifics, but my son did not lie.”

Teacher He paused, then hesitated, “Jiang Chen is He Qianmin’s older brother?”

“Indeed.”

Teacher He was relieved: “I thought the child was worried about letting his parents know and getting scolded. If that’s the case, I won’t say more and leave time to you.”

The door was gently closed, and the small conference room fell into silence.

“If you have nothing to say, I’ll go back to the classroom.” He Qianmin stood up and said.

He Yanfeng pressed his shoulders, sat down next to him and said, “Please explain what your classroom teacher said just now.”

He Qianmin lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, narrowing his eyes slightly: “I don’t want you two to come to my school, so I had my brother come instead. Does this even need an explanation?”

Through the conversation with He Qianmin’s homeroom teacher, He Yanfeng could see that Teacher He was serious and responsible, but at the same time might also be too serious and suspicious. It was impossible for such a person to believe He Qianmin just because he said so.

He Yanfeng said: “How did you convince your homeroom teacher that you are brothers?”

He Qianmin: “Shi Ao called Shi Fengyue, and Shi Fengyue has a good relationship with my brother, so he naturally helped us cover.”

Hearing that it was Shi Fengyue, He Yanfeng let go of most of his doubts. Jiang Chen had a good relationship with Shi Fengyue and Li Nanfeng. He heard that during this investigation, Shi Fengyue used the military GPS coverage system for Jiang Chen without submitting an application, and even used satellite monitoring. This move caused dissatisfaction among many people, and he had to ask his older brother He Yanjun, and together with the Shi family they suppressed this matter.

“Why did you come to see me?” He Qianmin said indifferently: “If you want me to go home, then forget it. I don’t want to go back and see He Qianjian’s hypocritical face.”

“Son, we apologize to you.” He Yanfeng patted him on the shoulder and said: “We have been ignoring your feelings before, and we didn’t seriously think about what you said. We were wrong. Can you forgive us?”

He Qianmin looked up: “What do you mean by seriously thinking about what I said?”

“Do you still remember the details of your car accident?” He Yanfeng’s tone was calm and solemn: “Talk to Dad again, and explain every detail clearly.”

He Qianmin hesitated for a moment, but repeated the scene that had been repeated countless times, and said half-believingly, “Do you believe what I say?”

“Your brother…..Xiao Chen sent us a video.” He Yanfeng said mildly: “It’s the surveillance video of your hand being cut by a fruit knife that suddenly appeared at your last class reunion.”

“My brother? Why would he have that video? I went to the club the next day, and the surveillance camera skipped that part…..” He Qianmin paused: “But my brother’s ability could indeed help me find the video…..Because of this, you suddenly believe what I said before?”

Yang Yun gently touched He Qianmin’s face, and said softly, “I’m sorry, that Mom and Dad didn’t believe you before.”

“It’s hard for normal people to believe this kind of thing.” He Qianmin laughed lowly, suppressing the slight sting in his nose, and raised his head: “I blamed you before, but I don’t blame you now, so you don’t have to blame yourself. But I won’t go back with you either.”

“Qian Min…..”

He Qianmin shook his head: “It’s not me going against you two, nor is it an adolescent rebellion, I just want to spend more time with my brother, so if you came here today for this matter, then there is nothing to say anymore.”

“Are you going to never come home for the rest of your life?” He Yanfeng asked with his arms crossed.

“I will go back every holiday and attend every month’s gathering at Grandpa’s place.” He Qianmin said: “You can also come to see me at school if you want.”

He Yanfeng said: “Even if your brother lives at home and is in the room next to yours, you still won’t come back?”

He Qianmin sneered: “Is where He Qianjian lives any of my business?”

“I’m talking about Jiang Chen.” He Yanfeng said: “Your brother, Jiang Chen.”

“My brother?” He Qianmin paused, sat up straight subtly, and asked casually, “Why would my brother live in our house?”

He Yanfeng glanced at the time: “There is still ten minutes before class ends, you go and call your brother over first, while your mother and I will wait for you in the car. We will have dinner later together, and you’ll know then.”

……

After the end of class bell rang, He Qianmin walked in as soon as the teacher left the classroom.

This semester, He Qianmin came to see Jiang Chen almost five times a week. Not only do the students in class 1 of the third year of high school already know him, they also knew that he was Jiang Chen’s younger brother. A boy who saw him come in laughed: “God Jiang, your little brother is here.”

Shen Xu raised his hand, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: “Little Brother Min, here to find your big brothers, eh?”

He Qianmin rolled his eyes at him. Jiang Chen raised his eyes and smiled, “You had physical education class? Coming over so fast.”

“Self-study.” He Qianmin said: “My parents are here, they are at the school gate now, and told me to ask you to have dinner together.”

Jiang Chen’s hand holding the book paused, and said, “Wait for me to pack up.”

“Okay.”

“If your parents are here, then what should we do for dinner?” Shen Xu: “Are we going together?”

He Qianmin pursed his lips and said, “Come if you want.”

“No, no, forget it, Huo Bo and I will just eat something casually.” Shen Xu shrank his neck and said curiously: “But if your parents came to look for you, what are they doing calling Jiangzi along for?”

He Qianmin’s eyes flickered slightly: “I don’t know.”

Shen Xu stroked his chin and guessed: “Is it because you ran away from home and now live in the same neighborhood as Jiangzi, and your parents came to question him? Or do they want to thank Jiangzi for taking care of you during this time? Or…..”

“Tell Huo Bo that we will meet up tomorrow, and your study sessions will start back up tomorrow.” Jiang Chen interrupted Shen Xu, stood up and said to He Qianmin, “Let’s go.”

Shen Xu’s eyes lit up, he stood up and waved his hands: “Eat well and have fun, see you later God Jiang!”

Just before stepping out the school gate, He Qianmin stopped and said, “Big Brother, have you ever thought about why my parents are looking for you?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

Jiang Chen turned around: “You know?”

He Qianmin pursed his lower lip, avoiding Jiang Chen’s gaze: “I don’t know.”

Jiang Chen: “So we’ll know later.”

“What if it’s not a good thing?” He Qianmin grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm: “If what they came to find you for is not a good thing for you, what should we do?”

“Confront it.”

“Then resolve it.”

After Becoming The Tyrant

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 098 The Long Night And The Dawn

Leave a comment

In the fireplace, the burning firewood made crackling sounds, and emitted a warm yellow fire light that casted a halo on the person at the door. The phantom figure that appeared in front of the King when the bard plucked his strings was no longer blurred.

The best queen of Kriya, the Queen Dowager of Legrand.

His mother.

For more than ten years, the Duke of Buckingham kept a secret that could not be revealed. He guarded the mad queen in order to protect the Kong, as well as protect the queen dowager herself…..He was only waiting for the mad queen to become lucid, and able to be the King’s mother.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

This was the last gift left to him by the Duke of Buckingham.

He did everything he could for the King.

The King was sitting on the ground with his head raised upwards. For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether everything was an illusion or reality. Bitter and breathless…..all the complicated and unspeakable emotions came like a surging tide.

Queen Eleanor with black hair and green eyes walked over, tears streaming down her thin face.

She half knelt down before the King, stretched out her hands and embraced him in her arms. She had lost the whole world, and now she had it all again, her child, her little Pureland.

Fate was too cruel to them.

Eleanor pressed her forehead against the King’s silver hair, and her hands that once picked up the bloodstained lance and sharpened a piece of iron into a sharp blade trembled at this moment. Her lips trembled, and she couldn’t say a word for a long time. When looking at the King in the Rose Palace, Eleanor once thought about what she would say when she saw her child.

She thought of so many things, but now she couldn’t say a word.

Fate was too unfair to this family.

Her child should have been the most noble and respected king in the world, but he was sitting on the ground by the desk, holding the letter, and was so filled with sorrow that he was just a child who had lost too much.

“My child, my little Pureland…..” Eleanor finally spoke, choking with sobs. She hugged him tightly and whispered, “I am here, I am here.”

Therefore, there was no need to suppress the sadness anymore, someone would wipe away your tears when you cry, hug you tightly, and prevent you from being attacked by the cold wind.

“He’s gone.”

The King said hoarsely.

Gone forever and never coming back.

His tears finally fell down.

A hug that was warm enough, a pair of trembling hands, a mother who was lost and found again…..After so many years, after struggling to survive in hatred and coldness, someone finally taught him how to let his tears flow when he was so filled with sorrow. At this moment, he was the same as all children who had lost their loved ones.

A pair of hands gently patted his back, as gentle as in those vague memories.

Queen Eleanor, her black hair falling over the King’s silver, held her child tightly.

Like holding a newborn baby, she hummed a familiar lullaby in a low and hoarse voice in the warm fireplace light. She once hummed this lullaby to lull the young King who wanted to see his father to sleep, and now she hummed this lullaby again, hoping to soothe the sadness in her child’s heart.

The night covered the land, and the crows flew up in surprise.

All partings, all encounters, all sorrows…..would pass through the long night.

…………

Southeast of Legrand, the port of Koszoya.

Today’s Captain Hawkins was quieter than ever before, and the young sailors on the ship toast secretly to celebrate not having to suffer torment from their neurotic captain, but some older pirates were silent.

Captain Hawkins, wearing a black slanted hat, sat alone on the railing of the bow deck, the back of his figure looking like he was about to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. He was holding a wine bottle in his hand and was throwing his head back, trying to pour some more down his throat. After shaking it a few times, two drops of wine fell into Captain Hawkins’ mouth. With a “tsk”, he threw the bottle into the sea.

The Witch shrouded in a black dress looked at the captain who was rarely quiet without the first mate, and didn’t bother him.

Gulu, gulu.

A small wooden barrel rolled to the Witch’s feet and bounced slightly upward.

The Witch understood that it was Jenny who wanted to talk to her.

The contract she signed with Jenny was different from others, and she was the only one who could communicate directly with Jenny.

The Witch stretched out her hand and pressed it against the railing.

Jenny’s voice sounded in her mind: “Griselda, Griselda…..that bastard who almost burned my sail back then…..Duke Buckingham, can’t he come again?”

The Witch was slightly taken aback. Jenny had always been like a little girl, she didn’t expect that Jenny would feel this keenly.

“Just like William?”

The Witch looked up at Captain Hawkins who was drinking alone, and responded in a low voice.

The sails on the ship suddenly drooped listlessly, and no longer floated upwards.

The wind blew all night at sea, and Captain Hawkins sat on the rail and drank all night. When the eastern sky became lit by dawn, he stood up unsteadily on the railing, staggered from the railing and fell into the sea with a “plop”, splashing water high.

The pirates who came to clean the deck in the morning happened to see this and thought their captain had gone crazy again, jumping into the sea to wash his brain again.

The Witch smiled wryly and ordered for Captain Hawkins to be quickly picked up from the sea.

………………

Rose Palace.

The sun had just risen, and the light fell on the spiers of the magnificent palace and castle. The King and Queen Dowager Eleanor stood together in the stone pavilion where the Duke of Buckingham rested when he took a walk with the King.

Winter had receded, and in the Rose Palace where the temperature was higher than outside, roses had begun to bloom again. The rose vines coiled around the stone pavilion had already begun to be decorated a little bit by new green buds. Wearing a scarlet cloak, the King stretched out his hand to hold on to the railing. He had already suppressed his emotions again.

Queen Eleanor looked at her child.

Time passed quickly, and in the years she wasn’t involved, her child had grown up to be as strong as his father.

Always remembering his responsibility as a monarch, and restraining himself from drowning in sorrow.

“Time flies, you’ve grown up.”

Queen Eleanor revealed a complicated smile.

According to the original secret spell, the King’s soul existed in two worlds at the same time. But the baptism of the Holy Court made the King’s soul carry the breath of the Holy Spirit, and coupled with the various illusions she saw at that time, this made her mistakenly believe that the secret spell failed and the King was replaced by the Holy Spirit.

Would her child have an easier and happier life if she hadn’t been crazy for so many years?

She failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother, she failed to shield her child from the wind and rain.

The King sensed the remorse hidden in the queen mother’s voice.

He turned his head and looked at his mother.

“No.” The King gave her a gentle hug. “You saved me, many times.”

In the last letter left by the Duke of Buckingham, he told the King the reason why Queen Eleanor had been insane for so many years——she had witnessed her child die time and time again in front of her own eyes.

When he saw this, the King understood everything.

When he was “Zhu Chi”, he would have nightmares again and again, but after waking up, he would forget what happened in the dream, leaving only a feeling of powerlessness and rage behind. When the Holy Court used the secret method of baptism to carry out an assassination, he got the answer from the Devil: that was the power of the secret method of baptism.

Yesterday he remembered everything.

All nightmares had the same content…..He would be in various dangers, and he faced death again and again.

“You saved me.”

The King repeated it again.

“Again and again.”

In those nightmares, he felt so weak and powerless, he felt that the whole world wanted to kill him, he was a person who was out of place and not tolerated by the world. But every time, there would be a voice, and a figure would hold him firmly in the darkness.

It was because of that voice and those hands that he didn’t lose himself in the constant cycle of nightmares and struggled to survive again and again.

Before, he forgot. Before, he didn’t know what it was.

Now he knew.

The one who protected him again and again in his dreams…..was his mother who was in pain and suffering under madness because of losing him.

In her painful illusions, she saw her child face danger time and time again, so she reached out her hand again and again trying to hold him. From a world apart, from such a long distance, her love traveled through time and space, like the wings of a goshawk, protecting her chick and allowing him to grow up safely.

The King finally understood why he wanted to survive by all means.

Because he was not hated by the world, he was also loved by someone.

He must come back, he must come back to Legrand.

Here was his family, this was his country, his land.

“Are you going back to Kriya?” The King asked his mother. “I met a bard. They still miss you. They will be glad to know that you are still alive.”

Eleanor straightened the King’s collar. She looked at her son, who she hadn’t been able to get a close look at yesterday. His blue eyes were the same as William III’s. His thoughtfulness was also exactly the same as his father’s. They were both not good at expressing themselves, nor good at dealing with soft emotions.

The queen mother understood that the King wanted to distract her from her guilt.

She shook her head: “I can’t go back now. In the eyes of the world, I have already died of illness. If I appear rashly, it will cause them trouble. Moreover, I will defend your kingdom in the shadows. You are the only monarch of Legrand.”

Her voice was gentle but firm.

The Master of the Households stopped at a distance from the mother and child who finally met. He looked at the former mistress of the palace, his eyes slightly moist, and he murmured in a low voice: “How wonderful.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )

How wonderful, that at least not everyone had left.

“Come over.”

The King sensed his steward’s arrival.

The Master of the Households was here to report on the preparations for the Duke of Buckingham’s funeral.

It would be a funeral, and it would be a declaration of war.
