The emperor had been admired for half his life, and it was the first time after he ascended the throne that he met the Lord whom he had to respectfully pay respects to.

This time when he said these words, although He Duyue was tearing his face apart, the emperor was still happy to see the wolf king being beaten.

These monsters, such as the fox king and wolf king, are nothing more than some beasts that have become spirits. Even if they have made themselves kings, how can they be compared with him, the emperor of the human race?

The more anxious the sight became, the emperor finally regained his composure in front of these two people, and slowly took a sip of the tea served by the little maid, before opening his mouth slowly.

"Master Wolf King, don't worry. I said that I want to repay my kindness, so naturally I won't do anything to hurt Mr. Zhong. It's just that his stubborn illness needs a very rare medicinal material, and this medicinal material has a little It's just a sequela."

Du Yue's face was terribly gloomy, and every word he uttered suppressed his anger: "What sequelae?"

"After taking the medicine, you need to take another medicinal material that is compatible with it within 30 days, otherwise, you will die from intestinal ulceration. Unfortunately, this kind of medicinal material is extremely precious, and it is only available in the palace."

"You are so brave!"

Du became more and more furious, and Dang even drew out a long knife, as if he wanted to take off the emperor's head on the spot.

No one expected that the emperor would keep such a trick in secret. Jiang Lin and Zhang Ce were also slightly taken aback, but they all came back to their senses when they saw Du Yue drawing his sword. After all, they still did not forget their identities, and both drew their swords Come and stop in front of the emperor.

"Master Wolf King, please calm down!"

"This is the imperial palace! If something happens to His Majesty, Mr. Zhong may not be safe!"

Naturally, there was no need for these two people to remind them, Mu Yuan stopped Du Yue when Du Yue drew his sword, shook his head slightly at him, and then turned to the emperor.

"Isn't Your Majesty a bit outrageous?" He said, "We have been guarding the imperial city conscientiously these days, but you are doing such a small trick behind your back?"

"Wangfei said that, but I misunderstood my intentions." The emperor deliberately bit down on the word wangfei.

In his opinion, no man would be willing to be female to another man.For someone like him, such a title is the greatest insult to a man.

The Wolf King and Mu Yuan seem to be harmonious and loving now, but who knows what Mu Yuan is thinking behind the scenes?The wolf king has a reckless temper, which is really easy to control.

The emperor didn't believe that Mu Yuan would be willing to be the concubine of such a wolf king, but it was only because of his own selfish desires that he wanted to find a strong object of attachment.

That's just how human nature is.

Just like the man he favored before who died unexpectedly.

Could he not know that the liking in that population is all fake?

But it's all a conspiracy.

So the emperor looked at Mu Yuan complacently after saying this sentence, thinking that he must have hurt Mu Yuan's little self-esteem.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yuan was very calm from the beginning to the end, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.

The emperor was slightly frustrated, but he continued: "My original intention was to treat Mr. Zhong, but I didn't expect that he would use such a medicine because of his tricky illness. At the beginning, I thought that within a month, you must He won't leave the imperial city, so he made his own claim and used medicine for Mr. Zhong."

The veins in Du Yue's hands were bulging, and it was only when Mu Yuan stopped him that he suppressed his anger, and asked sullenly, "What exactly do you want?"

"You two want to hunt down the Fox King. I understand, and I can understand it. But for the safety of Mr. Zhong, I'm afraid you should keep more troops in the palace. When Mr. Zhong's condition improves, I will order the imperial doctor to take care of him. If he pulls out the poison, Mr. Zhong will definitely not be ill!"

The implication is that Zhong Mai's safety can only be guaranteed if the emperor himself is safe and sound.

Mu Yuan was also very angry, but at any rate, he was a little bit more than Du Yue, and he suppressed his anger and asked, "If we can keep you safe and sound, can you promise to give the antidote to Uncle Zhong?"

He naturally knew that what the emperor said today might be true, but it might also be a lie he improvised to let himself and Du Yue protect him.

However, it is only to blame that they exposed too many weaknesses in front of the emperor.The emperor knew that since Lin Li's death, their wolf tribe had no decent doctors at all, so he dared to take advantage of them in such a matter.

They have no way of judging whether the emperor's words are true or false, so they can only believe it, because they cannot bear the consequences of making a wrong bet.

The emperor finally felt at ease now, and said hypocritically: "What's the matter, I also hope that Mr. Zhong can live a long life."

Mu Yuan snorted coldly: "How can we trust you?"

They have already been put together, if this matter is not clarified, after they capture the fox king and come back, it is not known whether the emperor will use the poison Zhong Mai suffered to threaten them to do other things.

The emperor pondered for a moment: "If you don't believe me, I will allow you to take my eldest son out of the palace together and let him be a hostage."

But Du Yue looked down on such a person the most: "Using my own son as a hostage, there is a father like you in the world!"

The emperor wanted to say something more, but Du Yue raised his hand: "That's all! There is no need to talk to people like you!"

He turned around, as if he no longer wanted to be in the same room with the emperor for even a moment, and only turned back to glare at the emperor when he reached the door: "Don't worry, our wolf clan doesn't say that we sacrifice anyone for the sake of the overall situation. I can be entangled with the Fox King to avenge my father, and I will definitely be with you to avenge Uncle Zhong! Our wolf clan... has no cowards!"

The emperor had a calm smile on his lips, but when he met the wolf king's eyes, his heart trembled.

He did think so at first - Zhong Mai is important to the Wolf King, but in the end he is just an old demon, even if everything goes well, he may not have a few more years to live.At most, the Wolf King would keep some troops in the palace for him.What else can be done?

But seeing Du Yue's eyes just now, the emperor suddenly believed that what Du Yue said was definitely not just words - if Zhong Mai really died in the palace, then Du Yue would definitely do it, and be with the human race Things that never die.

He then turned to Mu Yuan who hadn't left, and forced a calm smile: "Master Wolf King is really...too impulsive, I never said what to do to Mr. Zhong. Mr. Mu is such a smart person, Getting along with Lord Wolf King, you must feel helpless from time to time, right?"

Mu Yuan didn't say anything to the old man at first, even though it was this man who ordered his family to be ruined, in the end he was nothing more than a superior who was blinded by his subordinates.

Therefore no matter how much Mu Yuan hated, he would only hate the emperor for being incompetent and weak, and never seriously regarded this person as the object of his revenge.

until this moment.

Disregarding human life, being selfish, and trying to provoke the relationship between him and Du Yue?

Does he really think that everyone in the world is the same as him?

Mu Yuan felt disgusted in his heart, and he didn't want to give the emperor another good face, so he said coldly: "It's never happened before. On the contrary, I feel that talking with a straightforward person like Du Yue is better than talking with someone who has deep thoughts and only thinks about it every day. It’s much more comfortable to get along with a hypocrite who calculates others to get a little profit for himself.”

After saying this, he ignored the emperor and chased in the direction Du Yue left.

Seeing the two leave, Zhang Ce and Jiang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, put away their swords, and continued to stand respectfully at the bottom, no one dared to look up at the emperor's dark face.

Du Yue walked very fast ahead, it took Mu Yuan a while to catch up with him.

"The emperor is selfish and ruthless. The development of the matter to this point is beyond our expectation." Mu Yuan knew that the more he blamed himself, the more he blamed himself for not discovering the emperor's true intentions earlier, so that Zhong Mai fell into such a dangerous situation. Among them, there are only words of comfort.

"Actually, I didn't intend to let all the wolf demons withdraw. In this situation, it's just right not to withdraw. Keep some people in the palace and keep an eye on the emperor, lest he really do something to Uncle Zhong."

Du Yue still didn't say a word, he took the lead and walked forward without even turning his head.

Mu Yuan could only sigh, and continued: "But don't worry. Although the Emperor is not a good person, he is not a fool either. He will not do things that harm others and benefit himself. He actually dare not seriously offend As long as there is no accident in the palace, he will not rashly do anything to Uncle Zhong."

Many people in this world don't do bad things not because they have good thoughts in their hearts, but because they don't have the opportunity, or they don't have the ability.

As an emperor, although he was not a wise emperor who could be recorded in the annals of history, he was not an absurd tyrant either.

Although there may have been things like raising a man in the palace, it was handled properly in the end, and there was no absurd thing that delayed the government, and it did not have any impact after all.

But he was lucky.These years happened to be good weather, nothing happened, so he sat in this position for so many years without any achievements.

He's just a selfish guy—a flaw that isn't really a flaw.

He just, will do his best to consider for himself and maximize his own interests under any circumstances, that's all.

He didn't do anything wrong, he was just not a good guy.

In fact, this is fine, at least they can be sure that the emperor never wants to fight with them to the death.

Mu Yuan was about to say something more, but suddenly felt that Du Yue seemed to have a strange expression.

"Du Yue?" Mu Yuan couldn't help calling out to Du Yue.

Du Yue just stopped and clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't look back.

Mu Yuan stepped forward, but saw that although Du Yue stubbornly maintained a cold expression, his eyes were already slightly moist.

Seeing Mu Yuan approaching, he stubbornly turned his head away, without saying a word, as if he didn't want Mu Yuan to see his tears, like a wronged child, causing a burst of distress.

Mu Yuan held Du Yue's hand: "Nothing will happen."

Du Yue shook his head slightly: "Blame me."

Mu Yuan knew that he blamed himself, so he only comforted him: "It has nothing to do with you, no one would have thought that the emperor would do such a thing."

Unexpectedly, the expression on Du Yue's face became a little paranoid, and his voice amplified a bit: "Blame me! It's all my fault... I should have thought of it...human race and demon race... How many people, how many monsters Is it really possible to coexist peacefully with another race? I should have thought of it long ago!"

Mu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, feeling that there was something wrong with Du Yue's expression at the moment.

Before he could react, Du Yue had already grabbed Mu Yuan's arm, and continued on as if he had decided something: "We can't leave! If we really leave, we won't see Uncle Zhong when we come back... Already!"
