The Heartthrob System cultivates brotherhood online

Extra: Chu Wang

On the eve of Ling Si's departure from the capital, Chu Wang had been thinking about how to punish him when he returned. Everything at home was ready, which took a lot of his energy. But as time went on, Chu Wang felt that his previous thoughts were impulsive and he cleared everything out. In his two lifetimes, he was really irrational.

What are you going to do with him? Are you going to use all your stuff on him and force him to agree?

He once thought that he didn't need to do this, as long as he guided her a little, Ling Si would definitely understand what he meant. Unfortunately, the two of them were tit-for-tat. He hated Ling Si for not cherishing herself, treating the brothel as her home, and flirting with others in front of him again and again, which was neither true nor false, and he really couldn't tell.

Ling Si was a liar with great acting skills. He couldn't tell whether those were just acting or real debauchery. He only remembered that the anger in his heart seemed to burst out of his chest.

Chu Wang had always known that he had taken Pei Ji in. The bloody smell in the room was too strong, and his mind was always on the wound on Ling Si's hand. After bandaging it, he went to check the situation on the bed. He knew there was someone inside, maybe even a dishevelled man or woman, but he was so angry that he almost lost his mind. He wanted to see what kind of person could seduce Ling Si to stay out all night, and change his originally dull and stupid personality into the smooth and cunning one he is now.

Among them, Qin Wen's contribution was great. He was very suspicious and took the sacrifice of the Ling family for the Qin Dynasty for granted. The Ling family had a genius. In Qin Wen's eyes, no one did not love power. People like Ling Si must have evil intentions. What's more, they controlled the northern land of the Qin Dynasty. The Zhenbei Army was trained by Grandpa Ling one by one, so they naturally favored the Ling family.

In the eyes of the royal family, the Zhenbei Army had long been the domain of the Ling family. After repelling the Diyi and winning the last victory, the Ling family members died or were injured, and only Ling Si was left in the direct line of blood. He was unable to control the Zhenbei Army, and for the safety of the remaining line of the Ling family, he could only hand over power and become an idle marquis, not caring about political affairs and paralyzing himself.

Chu Wang watched him plan and place people around the emperor step by step. Later, Chu Wang felt that he was not safe either and deliberately ignored his news. He was even the last to know about his arranged marriage to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen must have been a move made by him, a fake one. Chu Wang consoled himself in this way.

But later, the lie became the truth, he began to panic, and failed again and again.

He began to reflect on the way he treated people. Perhaps it was because he had not confessed his feelings, and Jiang Chen was with him day and night, so he had the upper hand over Jiang Chen.

He confessed his love, and looking into her confused eyes, he could understand what she meant: How could Chu Wang like me? Chu Wang confessed his love to me?

Ling Si said: "I don't know."

How could you not know? Chu Wang asked again and again, and Ling Si always gave this answer.

Would he like her a little? If he didn't like her, he would definitely reject her firmly. He knew Ling Si.

Chu Wang may never get the answer in this lifetime.

Extra: Pei Ji

Pei Ji, who was in his teens, lived in fear every day. He was filled with hatred and was eager to kill his enemies, but he was also worried that his enemies would discover his whereabouts and kill him, and then the Pei family would be completely gone.

Later, he met an old bachelor who took him in, but Pei Ji had to do everything for him, including helping him feed the chickens and pigs, and clean the yard. Except for the fact that he could only sleep in the woodshed, he could still fill his stomach.

The old bachelor often said that he had killed many people and that his leg was broken by his enemies. Pei Ji did not believe it, but given their similar experiences, he could do more for him, such as going up the mountain to find herbs to treat him.

It was not until the old bachelor began to teach him real skills that he realized that it was all true.

The old bachelor has always been unwilling to teach him, saying that he is dull and clumsy. Killers are trained from childhood and fight among wild beasts. Pei Ji is not cruel enough and has too much human side.

On the eve of the old bachelor's death, Pei Ji heard him scolding him, saying that he was stupid, dull, soft-hearted, and not fit to be a killer.

Pei Ji was puzzled. Wasn’t the hatred in his heart enough?

The first assassination attempt failed, and the Prime Minister's Mansion strengthened its guards. Prime Minister Wang was too cautious, so he not only wanted to kill him, but also wanted to get the evidence that he had framed the Pei family.

The second time, he failed again. As expected, the old bachelor was right. He was not very skilled. There was a large cut from the chest to the abdomen, deep enough to see the bone. When he was escaping in a hurry, he was discovered by the patrolling Jinwu Guards. Pei Ji could only hide in a brothel, randomly held someone hostage, and began to leave everything to fate.

What came into view was an extremely beautiful face. Pei Ji swayed and lamented his bad luck. After falling in love at first sight, it was a threat. How bad must this person's perception of him be. He couldn't care less. He was going to die.

To his surprise, this man seemed very skilled in dealing with this situation. He glared at him and tucked him into the bed. His nose was filled with a unique woody scent, which was completely different from the aphrodisiac incense in the brothel.

But he remained alert, and heard the vague conversation between the man and the Jinwu Guard from outside the quilt. When Pei Ji heard Chu Wang's name, his heart tightened. He didn't expect that the person he randomly found actually knew the leader of the Jinwu Guard.

At this time he was still worried that the man would give him away, but after waiting for a long time, until he became unconscious, no one caught him.

Later they met again in the dungeon. The old madam looked smiling but was the most painful in torture. If Ling Si hadn't wanted to negotiate terms with him, he would have probably been killed.

The moment he killed Prime Minister Wang with his own hands, his heart suddenly felt empty. Hatred had always accompanied him and made him go through difficult times. Now that his enemy had died in the way he was most satisfied with, he was not happy at all.

By the way, he has not yet cleared the Pei family’s name.

Ling Si asked him to take him back and asked him to protect Miss Jiang Er at all times.

Later, the dust settled. The new emperor rehabilitated the Pei family and granted them many favors, from fertile fields and mansions to gold and silver, which he could not spend in his lifetime. However, no one in the Pei family came to enjoy them.

Until the end, the only thing that accompanied him was the Ling family spear.

If he couldn't learn it, he would go find a successor of spearmanship to teach him personally. Although he was beaten many times, he finally learned it. He became the coach of the Zhenbei Army, and everyone treated him as a member of the Ling family - a member of the Ling family not recognized by Ling Si.

Extra: Li Tingyan

The promise made by the master was not fulfilled because the master's husband kept obstructing it. After being depressed for a while, Li Tingyan cheered up and became his Li Xiang.

He originally wanted to resign from his official position and travel around with his master, but was obstructed by his master's husband. Among the three people, he was the only one without a name.

Forget it, I'd better continue to shine in the court. It's better than shining beside my master, because I will be mocked by my master's husband.

He met his master in the south, when his master went to inspect his fiefdom and happened to see him being harassed by someone, and then he saved him. At that time, he made up his mind to follow him. Ah Yan was like a floating duckweed, running wherever the wind blew. He was alone and helpless, so he might as well find a place to take root.

So he began to inquire about his master's preferences. He knew that he liked men, okay, the gender was right; he also knew that he liked weak and gentle girls. A Yan looked at himself and found that he was weak, but as for gentleness, he could learn it.

This study lasted for more than ten years. In the beginning, he just recited poems and composed couplets in the mansion for entertainment. Later, he competed in the imperial examinations. After that, he became a royal scribe. He was promoted step by step and finally became the left prime minister. It was no exaggeration to say that he was second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

Of course, he had to thank his master for giving him a clean identity, otherwise it would not have been so easy to gain the trust of Prime Minister Wang and the emperor. His daily job was to read memorials to the emperor, then write down his comments with a red pen, and then flatter the emperor to make him happy, and then he would trust him more. But Qin Wen was still very suspicious, and he was testing him almost every day. No one knew whether his next words would be a trap.

Later, he wrote more reviews and gained more experience. When the old emperor was seriously ill, he even gave him the task of writing memorials. Before that, he had to appreciate his embarrassment and cowardice. Qin Wen didn't care whether his prime minister was knowledgeable and loved the people. He cared more about whether the prime minister was obedient and whether he would rebel against him.

He and the fifth prince prepared many plans to deal with the old emperor's succession, so that the throne would fall on the fifth prince no matter what. The old emperor valued the fifth prince and didn't care much about his princes. His son inherited his suspicion, and the fifth prince couldn't believe it at all. He just wanted Qin Wen to die.

The two men agreed on this point. Qin Wen's evil deeds against his master and his family were enough to deserve his death hundreds of times.

It was expected that he would be asked to write the imperial edict. Li Tingyan sprinkled the prepared things into the inkstone. The powder was colorless and tasteless and could only last for one month. After one month, Qin Wen would be dead if not dead.

It was effortless to get the imperial seal, and by then, it would be useless for Qin Wen to regret.

Before this, Qin Wen had advised him to spend more time with the Sixth Princess, and later even asked him to write the imperial decree granting the marriage himself. His plan was quite sound.

Through this incident, he killed two birds with one stone: the arranged marriage was cancelled and the throne was obtained.

She must remain chaste for her master, and when her master gets tired of her husband one day, he will have work to do.

How good his master used to be, he could walk among flowers without getting a single leaf on him. But now he is tied up by a man. He hopes that his master will be at peace, but he also doesn't want that.

Because he is not a beneficiary, perhaps not in this life.

......

Extra: Qin Yu'an

He thought he would be a puppet, but he didn't expect that he would be the only one in the huge imperial city.

Qin Yu'an had never been unhappy, except for the moment when he lost his mother. Su Nian treated him sincerely and gave him all her love. Although he was not well fed and clothed in the cold palace, at least he was happy when he saw Su Nian.

The master was sincere to him. If he had to use him, he used the master to ascend the throne. His martial arts were taught by his master. In the palace where information was blocked, the intelligence was provided by his master. Even the people at hand were his master's people. Because he was sent by his master, he also trusted Pei Ji. In fact, Pei Ji did not disappoint him and his master's trust.

What the master wanted was very simple, so simple that he could achieve it as long as he was on the throne for one day. The master did not want fame, wealth, or fiefdom, nor did he want to be an official. He did not even have roots in the imperial city. Qin Yu'an was not there either, but he was the emperor, as if he was buried in this place. Even if he became a ghost, he would always float above the capital.

If the price of killing Qin Wen and Concubine Xian was to be trapped in the imperial city for life, he would do it again even if he had the chance to do it again. They hurt the two most important people in his life.

Since everyone in the capital was miserable, they should all leave. So he didn't keep his master, nor did he keep Jiang Nanxi.

In the deal between him and Jiang Nanxi, he could only have her in his harem, which was not difficult for him, but would life in the harem be easy without other concubines?

Su Nian is the victim of palace fighting, not just between concubines, but also between the former dynasty and the harem. To him, Jiang Nanxi is the same as Su Nian, so he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

The master is on good terms with the Jiang family, and the Jiang family’s focus is not on the imperial city. Whether Jiang Nanxi enters the palace or not will not affect his decision on them.

The Queen Mother also left the palace and decided to settle in the temporary palace instead of returning to the imperial city. This was also good.

……

The creaking sound of the door opening brought Qin Yu'an back to his senses. A furry head poked out cautiously, observing the people in the hall. Finally, he saw Qin Yu'an in front of the desk. The little boy pouted and ran into the hall, "Father, the Imperial Tutor and the Imperial Guardian...they, they bullied me..."

Qin Yu'an put his hands through the little girl's armpits, lifted her up into his arms, and said softly, "Tell father, how did they bully you?"

There were tears hanging under Qin Jinyi's round eyes, and her mouth was pursed, as if she wanted to cry but couldn't. "That's right, when we were shooting arrows, the Grand Tutor didn't teach me. Instead, he asked me to stand aside while the Grand Tutor taught the Imperial Guardian... Obviously, I was the Grand Tutor's student."

Qin Yu'an thought for a moment, "Father doesn't know the situation, so let them come and ask. If it is true, punish them, how about that?"

The little boy looked at him, and held Qin Yu'an with his chubby fingers, and lowered his voice a little: "...Then can the emperor only punish the guard?"

"Why? What if they are both wrong?" Qin Yu'an teased him with a smile.

"The tutor is right," the little boy lowered his head and picked at his fingers, mumbling, "It's the guardian, he is so bad."

At this time, Li Dequan entered the palace and informed the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor and the Grand Protector request to see you."

"Let them in. I want to ask them how they teach the prince on a daily basis."

Taifu Ling Si: "......"

Taibao Jiang Chen: "......"

The two bowed to Qin Yu'an and Qin Jinyi: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Qin Yu'an waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

When Qin Jinyi saw Ling Si enter the hall, her eyes lit up for a moment, but when she saw Jiang Chen behind her, her face sank and she snorted.

"Prince, please tell the two ministers what just happened."
