Chapter 417 Is Senior Brother's aura really that strong?
In this cannibalistic palace, it would be incredibly difficult for her to protect herself.
That's why she used the child to win His Majesty's heart.
Although His Majesty felt more apologetic towards her.
"At that time, although I was young, I remember everything. All along, your mind was focused on vying for favor."
It was my older brother who took care of me when I was little, and it was my older brother who always stayed with me, while you showed me almost no concern.
Later, as I grew up, I thought a lot. You were at the Nascent Soul stage, and it would have been easy for you to protect me and my brother in the palace, but you didn't.
You let others bully us, even hurt us, but you never protected us, did you?"
Ye Yanqing's tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about someone else's affairs, which made Yan Shu's expression even worse.
So, he knew all along!
"You summoned me back this time not to see me, but to have me fight for the throne for you, right?" Ye Yanqing's eyes were clear, as if she had already seen through everything.
"So what? You're not willing to help me, are you?" Yan Shu stared straight at Ye Yanqing.
“I’m not interested in being an emperor. If you want a puppet, you can have another one.” Ye Yanqing said this to Yan Shu, and then stood up.
Yan Shu clenched her fists as she watched Ye Yanqing's figure.
She should have realized that Ye Yanqing had been away from her for too long and would definitely not listen to her anymore.
"Junior Sister, are you done playing? We need to go rest." Ye Yanqing walked to Wen Luoya's side and looked up at Si Nansheng.
“Okay.” Si Nansheng jumped off Wen Luoya’s shoulder.
Si Nansheng stood in front of Ye Yanqing, tilting her head to look at Ye Yanqing.
Then, glancing at Yan Shu, who remained motionless in the pavilion, a chill flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go, it's alright." Ye Yanqing rubbed Si Nansheng's head, and Si Nansheng looked away.
"Senior Brother, is there anything you want to say to us?" Upon arriving at the accommodations arranged for them by the Emperor, Mo Lie looked directly at Ye Yanqing and asked.
"Did you all hear that?" Ye Yanqing asked, looking at them. They all nodded in unison.
Although they were playing at the time, Ye Yanqing and Yan Shu didn't hide their conversation from them, so they still heard what Ye Yanqing said.
"Sigh..." Ye Yanqing sighed and gently recounted the events.
“No wonder you’ve been unwilling to come back, Senior Brother.” Wen Luoya looked at Ye Yanqing.
Mo Lie and Mo Yu remained silent; they hadn't expected their senior brother to go through something like this!
"Then, Senior Brother, what do you think?" Si Nansheng looked at Ye Yanqing.
"Me?" Ye Yanqing looked at Si Nansheng in confusion, while Si Nansheng was quietly looking at him.
"Explain everything to them, and then leave here and go back to the Four Gods Sect," Ye Yanqing said with a smile.
“Okay, let’s do it this way. Let’s get everything sorted out, and then we’ll go back.” Si Nansheng grinned.
Ye Yanqing and the others didn't know what Si Nansheng was going to do, so they didn't ask any questions and went to their rooms to rest.
As night fell, Si Nansheng, having heard no further sounds from her senior brothers, quietly left the house.
The emperor was processing memorials, and thinking about Ye Yanqing's attitude towards them, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems Your Majesty is troubled. Is there anything I can do to help?" A clear voice rang out, and the guards rushed in, surrounding Si Nansheng.
"You may all leave now." The emperor glanced at Si Nansheng, who showed no fear, and waved for the others to leave.
"You are Yan Qing's junior sister." The emperor looked at Si Nansheng and spoke softly.
"Mm." Si Nansheng nodded.
"What brings you to me?" The emperor put down what he was holding, stood up, and sat down in front of Si Nansheng.
Si Nansheng's ability to slip silently into the heavily guarded palace indicates that his cultivation level is definitely not simple.
"I just wanted to ask you what your plans are for settling Ye Yanqing." Si Nansheng looked at him, resting her chin on her hand.
“He is my son. Now that he has returned, I will naturally treat him well. If his talent surpasses that of his two older brothers, then he will be the next emperor of the Hegemony Dynasty.”
The emperor looked at Si Nansheng and spoke softly, to which Si Nansheng sighed.
"Are you really happy being emperor?"
"What?" The emperor looked at Si Nansheng in surprise.
"Although the emperor appears to be high and mighty, I see a worried look on your face; you don't seem happy."
But thinking about it, it makes sense. As the ruler of a nation, being suppressed by various forces, with even a small sect able to act arrogantly towards you—it must be incredibly frustrating, right?
Si Nansheng looked at the emperor with pity, and for a moment, the emperor did not know what to say.
He never expected that a little girl could see through his thoughts so easily!
"So, what exactly are you trying to say?" After a moment of silence, the emperor finally spoke.
“Spare my senior brother. He has no interest in any dynasty or being an emperor.”
Si Nansheng's words made the emperor raise an eyebrow.
Since Ye Yanqing is not interested in becoming emperor, why did they come all this way?
"He is my son, and he is qualified to compete for the throne," the emperor said calmly.
“If my senior brother is interested in this position, I can just snatch it from him. But if he is not interested, then no one can force him, including you and Consort Yan.”
Si Nansheng spoke earnestly, but the emperor couldn't help but frown.
He seemed to understand why this girl had come here; was she giving him a hint?
Did Consort Yan say something to them?
“Perhaps you could have a good talk with my senior brother, and then you’ll understand what I mean.” After saying that, Si Nansheng got up and left.
After she left, the emperor sat there quietly for a very long time.
Perhaps it's time for him to have a proper talk with Ye Yanqing.
"Where have you been?" Si Nansheng entered the courtyard silently. Ye Yanqing's sudden voice startled Si Nansheng so much that she almost fell to the ground.
"Big...Senior Brother? Weren't you resting?" Si Nansheng looked at Ye Yanqing timidly.
"I was about to rest, but I sensed you had gone out, so I waited for you here." Ye Yanqing looked at Si Nansheng with a half-smile.
"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk, hehe." Si Nansheng wanted to slip away, but under Ye Yanqing's gaze, she could only sit down.
what happened?
Is the senior brother so imposing after arriving here?
"Senior Brother, can't you just say what you want to say? Don't look at me like that." Si Nansheng said helplessly to Ye Yanqing.
"Junior Sister, I can handle this situation, so please don't interfere. If I need your help, I will tell you directly."
Ye Yanqing looked at Si Nansheng and spoke softly, but Si Nansheng quietly shifted her gaze.
How come my senior brother is so shrewd?
She only went out once, and he already knew what she might be doing?
"Junior Sister, did you hear me?" Ye Yanqing gently pinched Si Nansheng's nose, and Si Nansheng chuckled.
"I heard you, I heard you. Don't worry, I won't interfere. You can handle it yourself. I'll just watch the show." Si Nansheng covered her head with her hands, looking at Ye Yanqing innocently.
