I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 461 Royal Secret!

"I'm done, I'm done!"

The craftsman cried, laughed and shouted like a madman, and when he dropped the last hammer, everyone in the imperial capital paused.

"Your Majesty, your reward, your reward——"

The craftsman's crazy words came to an abrupt end, his shriveled body disappeared like foam, and only a set of tattered, dry clothes remained on the top of the statue.

The people who were looking at the statue did not see this scene. They only felt that something seemed to have drilled out from deep in their hearts and then knocked hard!

"what--"

Almost at the same time, everyone fell to the ground. The severe pain from their hearts made all their superpowers and prostheses ineffective.

Only a few powerful people like Wu Xiao did not suffer too much impact. The two sides of the battle retreated a distance in a rare tacit understanding, and they covered their chests and looked at the statue in unison.

"Your Majesty...have you fulfilled your long-cherished wish?" Wu Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth with some disdain.

The Chief Judge of the Ego Church and the Golden Leaf Tree Man who were besieging him looked at each other and saw the inexplicable emotions in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Sean, who had just finished comforting Elisa Lam and walked out of the room, also looked towards the statue.

Several people around her also covered their chests. Beads of sweat slid down Bai Ye's forehead. She seemed to be more seriously affected.

But... she glanced at Sean, whose expression remained unchanged, just looking calmly into the distance.

Wasn't he affected at all?

"Our Majesty does have some connections - your brothers are unlucky to have such a father."

Bai Ye just pursed his lips and blurted out something: "He is not my father."

After some secrets are learned, those emotions that cannot be completely let go will turn into stronger and opposite emotions, such as Bai Ye now.

For Bai Ye, the secrets he learned from Elisa Lam and Zhu Zhu's parents were probably the final "blow".

She is not a qualified royal child and cannot be completely cold-blooded, ruthless, and indifferent, but it is precisely because of this that Sean chose her - those who can abandon everything will naturally abandon the person who rescued them.

Sean is not prepared to help someone who has no intention of repaying a favor.

Bai Ye is a good character. She is ambitious, capable, and occasionally makes stupid mistakes. She is not a saint or a good person, but she cannot give up everything. What's even better is that she still has a strange feeling for Sean.

If Bai Ye knew the current secret before the two met, Sean would not have chosen her - the Moon Queen would definitely become a powerful person in a high position who would do anything to achieve her goals. Such a person is difficult to control, and even if controlled, it is impossible to maintain control.

But now it’s different. Even if Bai Ye has given up other things, Sean has completely broken into her world. So, knowing some secrets may make her a better queen.

Sean chuckled softly: "Who would have thought that so many princes and princesses in the royal family would have no blood relationship with the current emperor..."

Yes, they learned this explosive secret from the Count and Countess.

But what is more interesting is that no matter whether it is the dead eldest prince and the fifth prince, the injured third prince, the imprisoned fourth prince, or the escaped second prince, they are all real royal children, and the blood of the Baiyue royal family flows in their bodies.

The key point is that Bai Wujiu is not. Xiao En had never thought that all the princes and princesses were cultivated in test tubes... The memories of those concubines were all tampered with by rituals and instruments. They thought they were favored by the emperor, but in fact they were just pushed onto the operating table.

The royal children they gave birth to could not bring them wealth and prosperity for the rest of their lives; one was just a tool, and the other... was just a consumable.

The Count and Countess are among the very few people who know this secret, because they are the chief researchers of the empire.

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhu.

The red-haired female ghost was in a good mood at the moment. After all, her parents, who had been in a coma for so long, had woken up. However, Zhu Zhu still couldn't understand the look in his parents' eyes, but Sean did.

Combined with everything that Blood Leaf had seen before, I'm afraid... Zhu Zhu is not the Earl and Countess's biological daughter.

However, this is not important. Although Sean is a fun-loving person, there is no need to expose all this unless it is necessary.

Zhu Zhu has been living in his lies, and it is not a bad thing for her to continue like this.

In addition to nurturing the baby, the count and countess followed the emperor's order and joined another research, and that research was all about the etheric layer.

The imperial mausoleum with a similar layout to the Hall of Thinking proves that Bai Wujiu - no, all the successive emperors of the empire have the relevant information about the Hall of Thinking, but it is obvious that their information is not complete.

The ether walking hidden in the earl's study is one of the results of the research. According to the earl and his wife, they had researched a lot for Bai Wujiu before they were sent to prison.

As for why the couple was arrested, they were vague - normally speaking, these were Bai Wujiu's absolute confidants, and there should be only two outcomes for such people, either hope that Bai Wujiu would show mercy and allow them to live a life of wealth and glory, or die directly.

Therefore, the arrest of the couple was secondary. It was a bit strange that they were not executed directly after knowing so many secrets of Bai Wujiu.

The only explanation is that Bai Wujiu's research on the etheric layer is not enough, and he still hopes that the count and countess will continue to help him in the future.

However, the couple and Elisa Lam all said the same thing, which was that they couldn't wake up because of the constraints of the etheric layer.

And that kind of restraint could obviously only come from Bai Wujiu.

Now, their awakening was obviously not because Bai Wujiu was showing mercy, but because he no longer needed to suppress them.

Do you want to free up your energy to accomplish more important things?

Sean's mouth curled up.

According to Elisa Lam, she experienced a lot of chaotic things in the underground pit, but the thing she remembered most clearly was that she met the Fourth Prince Bai Si.

This matter sounds ridiculous at first glance, because when Elisa Lam was executed, Bai Si had not yet been imprisoned and was outside in charge of the construction of the statue. The mother and son should not have met.

But Elisa Lam firmly believed that she had seen Bai Si, and after Sean's examination, it was indeed true - before Elisa Lam faked her death, Sean taught her some things and also left her his fox magic.

This is very interesting...
