Emperor Yan saw the doubt in Qingyun's eyes and suddenly smiled, "Little girl, don't underestimate me."

Qingyun smiled and said nothing, nor did she say whether she believed him or not.

"Your Majesty, I have another question."

"You ask, I will try my best to answer." Emperor Yan straightened his expression and listened carefully to Qingyun's words.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, what effect did Wuti mention when giving the medicine to Your Majesty?"

If Wu Ti wants to lure Emperor Yan to take medicine, there must be a reason. You can't hand it over to Emperor Yan carelessly.

Emperor Yan glanced at Yan Siyuan, who was staring at Qingyun like a fool, and looked away without even a glance.

He replied: "At that time, he said that it was an elixir that could lead to immortality."

Qingyun didn't have any surprises. Wu Ti also used this excuse when he gathered those people from the world. This shows how attractive this excuse is to people.

"Your Majesty, do you want to live forever?" Qingyun asked tentatively.

Emperor Yan is not so easily deceived, unless he is extremely concerned about this matter.

A cold light flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, and then his eyes became a little complicated. He did not answer Qingyun's question directly, but asked instead: "Have you ever seen purgatory on earth?".

Qingyun was shocked and shook her head slowly. She didn't understand why Emperor Yan asked this.

Emperor Yan seemed to have thought of something, with pain in his eyes as he fell into memories.

"Twenty-four years ago, I was just a young master from a small town in the south. My ancestral family was also considered a wealthy family. The emperor at that time was a foolish king, who was dissolute and wasteful, neglecting government affairs and thinking about how to spend money all day long. The ministers in the court were even more so. Fighting for power and profit, with no regard for the safety of the people. You have never seen hell on earth, I have."

Emperor Yan's voice became a little darker, and the air around him felt a little heavy.

Qing Qing listened quietly, she had heard about Tian Yuan before Emperor Yan from other places. She didn't pay attention at the time, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Emperor Yan paused for a moment and continued: "During the flood, you also saw it. It was devastated and the people were displaced. But the dynasty before Tianyuan was established was even worse.

Bodies littered the streets with no one to deal with them, and the stench was overwhelming. Disasters are rampant across the country. Plague, plague, is spreading uncontrollably. The court doesn't care, it only cares about immediate interests. There are even those who are struggling to make money for the country and deliberately raise the prices of food and medicine. And those people are still officials of the imperial court."

There was a sarcastic look in Emperor Yan's eyes, and he said softly, "Rich people still don't have enough to eat, let alone ordinary people. Starving people to death is a routine operation, and exchanging children for food is even more tacitly allowed. Some people can't bear it, looking at My own child can't even eat it. What's even more ridiculous is that because the child is so hungry that he doesn't even have two ounces of meat, he won't even give him a change if he wants to."

Qingyun was shocked. She had never seen such a scene. But just listening to the description from Emperor Yan, I can already imagine how tragic it was.

Cold sweat broke out on his palms, and his clenched fists trembled slightly. Biting her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

Yan Siyuan suddenly took Qingyun's hand and pulled it in front of him. Spread his fingers one by one and interlock them with his broad palm.

Qingyun raised her head and looked at him, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Yan Siyuan frowned slightly, reached out and stroked the broken hair sticking to her face, and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Listening to Yan Siyuan's gentle words, Qingyun's heart calmed down a little.

He turned to face Emperor Yan's sad eyes and swallowed, "If that's the case, isn't there a single patriot who will stand up?"

"Yes, how could there not be? There are not only some, there are many. But how could the ruthless emperor see that there were threats to his throne? Naturally, he sent troops to suppress them violently.

In front of these so-called 'rebellious ministers and traitors', those officials were unusually united. They are even more ruthless and ruthless in dealing with them. As soon as those people show up, they will be mercilessly eliminated.

There have been too many times, and even if someone thinks about it again, no matter how serious the revenge is, they will have to swallow their anger and not dare to speak."

Qingyun understands that no matter how powerful you are, as long as the person dies, there will be nothing.

Emperor Yan continued, "Not only was the country in chaos at that time, but Qiming was also eyeing it and attacking frequently. The people had no power to resist, and they had no choice but to accept Qiming's provocations."

Emperor Yan sighed, as if he hated the situation at that time, but also seemed to be unable to compromise.

But Qingyun understood that Emperor Yan would never accept his fate and compromise, otherwise there would be no current Emperor Yan.

Sure enough, Emperor Yan said: "I spent three years planning and planning. I gathered patriotic people from all over the country and asked them to do their best to recruit soldiers secretly.

Three years is neither long nor short. Finally, they gathered together to attack and headed towards the imperial capital. Probably Emperor Ru didn't expect that resistance would suddenly break out from all over the country, catching them off guard.

I am the master of the country, and Li'er is the master of the foreign country. Even so, it took us five full years to break through the imperial capital and kill Emperor Ruo..."

After Emperor Yan finished speaking, there was another moment of calm in the palace. Emperor Yan looked at Qingyun again, "Little girl, what do you think Tianyuan is like now?"

Qingyun struggled to find her voice and slowly said, "The people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no war, there is peace...".

Emperor Yan nodded, "It took me nineteen years to do this. Little girl, what do you think of me?"

Qingyun hesitated.

Seeing her like this, Emperor Yan reminded her, "Don't worry, just tell the truth."

"Your Majesty is naturally of great merit. He saved the people from the fire and water, and is Tianyuan's savior."

These words sounded like flattery, but Qingyun looked serious, and she meant these words.

If she hadn't heard Emperor Yan talk about the previous dynasty, she might not have had such a high opinion of Emperor Yan. But now, those evaluations are not inconsistent with him at all.

There was no need for Emperor Yan to lie to change his image in her heart. After all, she was not an important person.

Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows, obviously not expecting Qingyun to give him such a high evaluation, and laughed, "Is there a but behind your words?"

Qingyun pursed her lips, but she didn't expect Emperor Yan to notice it.

When Emperor Yan saw Qingyun like this, he obviously guessed it right, and he was not angry: "I don't want to hear what happens next, but even if this Tianyuan, I feel that I am not worthy of the support of the people."

Little girl, I originally had four sons alive, but I personally destroyed the most capable one, so there were only three left. One of them died not long ago, and this one may not be saved, but this one in front of me..."

Emperor Yan snorted softly, "It's not a good thing. Then this world cannot fall into the hands of others. I definitely don't want to see the previous scene again. Tianyuan must be in my hands. No one except me Do not believe!".
