Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1504: Vicious and domineering (11)

"That's wrong. My brother is ill and won't have much time left. It's only right and proper for us to support the new emperor. How can we say he's a traitor?"

Now that the emperor is dead, isn't it natural to support a new emperor?

Upon learning of Dai Ke's plan, Shen Anqing's eyes darkened: "Your Highness really seizes people's weaknesses and strikes with a sharp knife."

"Mr. Shen, do you agree to the alliance?"

"Does this humble official have any choice?"

Dai Ke raised his glass, and Shen Anqing picked up the teacup and touched it lightly.

"Mr. Shen is really well-informed. You are able to place spies around the emperor. Your ability has exceeded my expectations. I wonder if you could be convenient to tell me the details?"

It took less than an hour from the time Dai Ke arrived at the imperial study and left.

Shen Anqing, who lived in a remote place, was able to get the news in time. I'm afraid his means should not be underestimated.

"It's not that I am capable, but Your Highness underestimates me. After all, I have taught many princes, so isn't it natural that I have some connections?"

"Then I was wrong. I will compensate you with a cup of tea instead of wine."

Shen Anqing put down the teacup: "If Your Highness wants to support a prince, you can choose one from the second prince, the seventh prince, and the thirteenth prince."

"The second prince's mother died early and is now in a low position. The seventh prince's mother is still alive but her family is weak and easy to control. The thirteenth prince is young and innocent and can be controlled by your Highness." Dai Ke heard the sarcasm in Shen Anqing's words: "I am not arbitrary, Mr. Shen does not need to have such a big opinion of me."

"I support the new emperor only to make my situation more stable, and I have no intention of interfering in government affairs."

"But as long as Your Highness holds great power, the new emperor will still be wary of Your Highness after he has been on the throne for a while. This is inevitable."

"As Your Highness said, after being in a high position for a long time, people like to control power in their own hands. Will Your Highness resort to the same old tricks and establish a new emperor?"

"If Mr. Shen makes a good choice, perhaps he can sit on the throne until he dies, and I can also offer the power in my hands to him."

Shen Anqing narrowed his eyes and examined Dai Ke: "Your Highness is willing to give up power?"

Dai Ke didn't want to be emperor because he didn't want to be bound by his identity for the rest of his life.

She will hold the military power for now, and it will be fine for her to hand it over once Xiao Ye is safe.

"Then we have to look at Mr. Shen's opinion?"

Shen Anqing thought for a long time and said, "The third prince is okay. His mother died early and he has no support from his mother's family. He is honest and loyal, and he is a talented person with potential."

"Then this person will be handed over to Mr. Shen for instruction, and I will be responsible for inspecting the results."

"I will definitely live up to your highness's trust."

After returning to Fengyu Palace, Xiao Ye was also sent back.

Dai Ke stood at the door. Xiao Ye, who was being carried on the sedan chair, had lost his color and looked almost white in the sunlight.

Facing Xiao Ye's deep eyes, Dai Ke looked away instantly: "If he's dead, bury him. If he's not dead, ask the imperial physician to treat him. Are you throwing him at the door to bring bad luck to Fengyu Palace?"

Zhuihun reported: "The imperial physician has been here, but he was unwilling to treat and drove him away." Xiao Ye got off the sedan chair and walked towards Dai Ke in a weak manner.

He stared at Dai Ke and said, "I heard that you ordered the fifty lashes. Aren't you afraid that I will be beaten to death?"

Dai Ke sneered, "You've been beaten so many times and you're still alive. What's wrong with this one time?"

Xiao Ye felt so choked up that a streak of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

Panic flashed in Dai Ke's eyes, and he reached out to support Xiao Ye's fallen body: "Go get the imperial physician!"

Zhuihun went to call for the imperial physician, and a secret guard in dark purple clothes helped the unconscious Xiao Ye into the room.

Dai Ke asked, "Did the emperor really beat him?"

Did she guess wrong?

The secret guard reported: "He himself asked the emperor to have a real fight, saying it was for the sake of realism."

Hearing this, Dai Ke knew that he was right. Xiao Ye really cooperated with the emperor. Yes, anyone who heard her words would be angry and embarrassed.

The imperial physician came over and prescribed some medicine and treated Xiao Ye's injuries.

In the room, Dai Ke sat at the table, looking at Xiao Ye who was lying on the bed.

The emperor had only two requirements for cooperating with Xiao Ye: either kill her or steal the tiger talisman.

Dai Ke leaned against the table, a little curious about which one Xiao Ye chose, or maybe both?

[Host, although you forced Shen Anqing to cooperate, you also narrowed your own situation. ]

Yes, in order to express his stance to Shen Anqing, Dai Ke completely offended Xiao Ye.

Her image is probably beyond redemption now.

But Shen Anqing is very important. Dai Ke's situation in the palace is very awkward, and she certainly cannot have close contact with the prince, so she must choose Shen Anqing as an ally, using his identity as a teacher as a cover to help her train chess pieces.

Under this choice, Xiao Ye naturally became a discarded item.

Right now, Dai Ke doesn’t know how to deal with the relationship between the two.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind: "Do you think it will work if I take the compulsory route?"

【I advise the host not to commit suicide. 】

[But the forced route can maintain your character and earn points to save your life, which is really killing two birds with one stone. ]

At worst, when Xiao Ye comes looking for revenge on her, she can just use a teleportation talisman to escape.

And if Xiao Ye is tempted, then she will make a lot of money.

The more he thought about it, the more Dai Ke felt that this was a great idea.

When Xiao Ye woke up, he felt like his legs had lost all feeling.

The prone position made it difficult for him to breathe. He tried to support himself on the bed and sit up, but when he turned around he saw Dai Ke sleeping soundly beside him.

He stared at the fragile neck, bent his five fingers and wanted to strangle Dai Ke to death, but stopped halfway.

The emperor instructed him to gain Dai Ke's trust first and obtain the tiger talisman, and not to rush to kill her.

Feeling a little thirsty, Xiao Ye slowly moved towards the bed, but was blocked by Dai Ke.

He exerted force with one knee, trying to step over Dai Ke, but as soon as he raised his leg, he was hit by Dai Ke who turned over.

"Ok!"

Dai Ke groaned as he was pressed down by a body.

She opened her eyes and stared at Xiao Ye who was lying on top of her. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?" Xiao Ye was about to step away, but Dai Ke hugged him by the neck and asked, "Are you throwing yourself into my arms?"

"I just want to get out of bed, I'm having trouble moving, that's all, let go!"

Considering that Xiao Ye was a patient, Dai Ke let him go for the time being.

Getting off the bed, Dai Ke straightened his clothes and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"thirsty."

Dai Ke asked someone to bring a kettle of hot water, and then sat down beside the bed holding the cup.

Xiao Ye couldn't sit up, so he could only twist his body sideways and reach out his hand, but Dai Ke deliberately moved the cup away so that Xiao Ye couldn't reach it.

Xiao Ye frowned: "What are you doing?"

Under his gaze, Dai Ke swallowed a mouthful of warm water, then suddenly pinched Xiao Ye's chin and pressed his cold lips against his.

Xiao Ye's eyes widened, and when he felt the warm water flowing into his mouth, the soft touch also took the opportunity to invade, disrupting his consciousness and snatching air. Dai Ke rubbed the water stains on his mouth with his thumb, looking at Xiao Ye's red eyes: "Are you wronged?"

"You--" Xiao Ye glared at Dai Ke. His sudden behavior made him unable to figure out what Dai Ke meant.
