I Persuade People With Reason

In an instant, many tangled and complex thoughts in his mind disappeared. Instead grievances and anger poured into his heart.

Like a cat who ran away from his poop shovelling officer, initiating a cold war. He finally ran back, only to find that some goblin had stepped in and occupied his territory and became the cat of his poop shovelling officer. Qi Yu almost blew up!

Across the bushes, he subconsciously wanted to rush out and move the little girl’s unsightly head away from the hand.

But after looking at Yuan Buwei next to her, he fell silent again. Standing in the same place as if his feet had taken root, with a bit of complexity that did not belong to his age on his face.

Su Xuer was happily enjoying the gentle head rub of the immortal-looking big brother and suddenly felt a chill on her back. She looked around in confusion, then withdrew her gaze and continued to talk to Yuan Buwei:

“Your Majesty? Didn’t you ask me to help you when you invited me into the palace? What should I do?”

Thinking of the life of eating, sleeping, eating, and occasionally being head patted by his Majesty these days, the little girl blushed a little. She doesn’t seem to be doing anything to help?

“No, you’ve already helped.”

After all, she is the heroine in the original plot. Through observing her, Yuan Buwei has already figured out the operation mechanism of the power of luck in this small world.

After comforting the tool man a few words, he continued speaking: “In a few days, you will be able to return to the prime minister’s mansion.”

Su Xuer: “…Oh.”

She will never be able to see his beautiful majesty again after she goes home. Instead, she has to see the nasty face of her own brother… The little girl is full of despair.

She didn’t know that another little chubby guy whose brother was occupied was even more depressed than her. And that he was staring at her with murderous eyes.

If possible, Qi Yu simply wants to help her pack up and throw her along with her luggage out immediately!

But he couldn’t do it.

… He can only scratch the wall frantically in his heart.

Qi Yu didn’t come out until Yuan Buwei left.

“…… Ah!”

In the imperial garden, Su Xuer suddenly exclaimed. A little chubby guy came out of nowhere and suddenly rushed out aggressively, almost knocking her to the ground.

“What are you doing… you, are you crying?”

The little girl was originally going to fiercely question, but when she saw Qi Yu’s appearance, she couldn’t help but change her tone.

She also recognized the identity of this little chubby guy.

It’s just that the sixth prince looked thinner than when he visited the prime minister’s mansion. There was no flesh on his face, his eyes were red and his dark eyes were full of grievance and anger mixed with some fierceness. He was like a little wolf cub who was bullied.

Qi Yu who rushed out had his words stuck in his throat and he said, “Nonsense! Where did I cry?”

Su Xuer looked at him cautiously: “Then… Are you afraid of his majesty? Are you avoiding him?”

Because she is young, she does not understand anything. There was no gag order issued about what happened in the past, including the real cause of death of the emperor. It’s just that no one has ever dared to discuss this matter in public.

Qi Yu’s stomach full of anger was punctured and the whole person suddenly slumped. After a moment of silence, he said, “I’m not afraid of him, I just…”

… Just don’t know how to face him.

“Oh, how embarrassing.” Su Xuer held her cheeks in her hands and sighed like a little adult. She sat down on the stone steps of the pavilion. “It wouldn’t be surprising if it were my bastard brother. But his majesty is a good man. He will not do evil or kill good people.”

Then the little girl nodded certainly.

Qi Yu couldn’t help being silent, but he couldn’t refute.

“Well this is for you.”

Seeing his pathetic appearance, Su Xuer no longer cared about what had just happened. She took out a few delicately wrapped preserves and handed them to him, which should give some comfort.

Qi Yu also realised that he had misdirected his anger before. In fact, the depression in his heart had nothing to do with Su Xuer. He blushed and took the preserves with embarrassedly.

After thanking her, he put a piece of candied fruit into his mouth and bit it.

“– Hiss!”

The next moment, Qi Yu’s expression was distorted.

Tangled, depressed, sad and angry emotions all disappeared. He just felt his vision blackening in front of him and almost had a feeling that he was going to die in the next moment.

Remembering this was a kind intention, Qi Yu slowly worked hard and ate the preserves. He forced a smile on his face: “where did you get this from?”

Although he asked, Qi Yu already had the answer in his heart.

If the sweets in this world are divided into ten grades according to their sweetness, from ordinary sweetness to extra sweetness, to sticky sweetness, to tooth decaying sweetness… To deathly sweetness. Well, his imperial brother is undoubtedly a great man at the top of the dessert industry.

Standing aloof from others and undefeated.

Sure enough, Su Xuer blurted out: “His majesty just gave it to me. I haven’t had time to eat it.”

Qi Yu felt sour in his heart, sweet in his mouth and had a smile on his face. The whole person looked very strange.

Su Xuer carefully glanced at him and quietly sat a few steps further away: “Are you okay?”

“Hehe, I’m fine.”

Qi Yu barely squeezed out a sentence through his teeth and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

“This candied fruit is really delicious. It deserves to be made by the imperial kitchens specially for imperial brother!”

He seemed eager to eat another one.

“… Really?”

Su Xuer’s curiosity was aroused.

A strange silence suddenly fell on the imperial garden.

……

Soon after, a servant who passed by saw a strange scene. A little chubby boy is like a little upturned turtle with his feet in the air. On top of him, a little girl was waving her fist.

The servant recognized their identities with sharp eyes, and remembered that his majesty had ordered that the prime minister’s daughter should be given treatment comparable with that of a princess. When they were tangled, they suddenly noticed the figure standing quietly not far away.

Separated by a distance, Yuan Buwei looked at the two small animals entangled and fighting together. To be exact, he is looking at the empty space above their heads, at the turbulent power of luck.

He thought: “So there are still such changes…”

During careful observation, he almost took out a small book and recorded all the observations.

System 999: […]

As the culprit of all disputes, is it really good for you to be so calm? Solid hammer. He really only regards the male and female leads as convenient tools?!

[You have no heart!]

Yuan Buwei: “….?”

He shut the suspected faulty system 999 into a small black house and continued to observe carefully.

What happened this time seems to have made Qi Yu figure something out. The next day, on the way to court, Yuan Buwei saw him again. To be exact, he was blocked by him.

Qi Yu had been waiting for a long time, and finally summoned up the courage to take a step forward to block Yuan Buwei.

The first thing Yuan Buwei noticed was the matching dark circles under both of his eyes, which he couldn’t help glancing more at.

Noticing his gaze, Qi Yu was somewhat ashamed and angry, but he still raised his head:

“Imperial brother, I have something to say to you.”

“… En?”

Yuan Buwei responded carelessly. His eyes couldn’t help being attracted by the strength of his luck. During this time, he became addicted and couldn’t extricate himself.

Qi Yu was silent for a while and clenched his teeth: “Imperial mother has been ill for a long time. Won’t you go and see her?”

Pondering for a second, Yuan Buwei asked curiously, “If I go, won’t she only be more seriously ill?”

“What about imperial father?”

Finally asked this question, Qi Yu seemed relieved. He lowered his voice and stared at Yuan Buwei, the fist on both sides clenched.

“Why did you… Kill him?”

“… Why?” Yuan Buwei retracted his curious eyes. Lowering them to stare straight at him, revealing unprecedented sharpness.

“Since he wanted to kill me, I killed him. It’s nothing more than that.”

Staring into the little chubby guy’s eyes, he said word by word.

“The same is true for you.”

The little guy stood in place and opened his mouth.

Yuan Buwei finished saying this callous truth, so he walked along his original path without even changing the pace of his feet.

He didn’t look back to see how Qi Yu reacted.

System 999 has given up on the host. It doesn’t even bother to talk about persuading the host to have a good relationship with the male protagonist. It’s just a little confused about the host’s directness.

It believes that with the ability of the host, as long as he is willing, he can easily coax Qi Yu, or at least speak a little milder. There’s no need to deliberately hurt people like this.

Yuan Buwei hooked his lips: “In this world, the truth always hurts others. Why teach him to deceive himself and others?”

His eyebrows overflowed with a faint coldness, but it soon dissipated, as if it were just an illusion.

Without waiting for the system 999 to explore, the voice of the youth sounded coldly: [And when have you been concerned about these idle affairs?]

Seeing the looming little black house, system 999 quickly changed the subject: [Everything that happens to the host is a concern for this system. For example, about the big event, what is the host planning?]

Yuan Buwei smiled: “There’s only one last step left.”

—–

Within the imperial hall, civil and military officials are divided on both sides of the throne of the emperor at the top of the golden steps.

The new emperor wore a black robe and sat on the throne.

Through the twelve tassels with five elegant colours, his eyes indifferently swept down.

“Is the investigation of the assassination complete?”

The minister of justice immediately stood up trembling and pleaded guilty with fear on his face.

The people behind the scenes erased the clues too thoroughly. Even if they followed the clues day and night for several days, they finally found only a few abandoned children who were obviously abandoned.

Of course, many ministers in the court had guessed who the real murderer was, but there was no evidence.

After a long silence atop the imperial steps, the young new emperor suddenly sighed gently.

“Zhen is disappointed.”

This light sentence seemed to contain endless bloodshed, which made many ministers recall a scene in their memory and knelt down trembling.

“Your majesty, calm down…”

For a moment, the hall was full of black bowed heads.

“The mastermind is in contact with a hostile country, connected with the jiehu, planned to assassinate the emperor of a country on the street and regards the national law and morality as nothing… There are such crazy people in the world!”

The truly insane man denounced bitterly.

“It’s ridiculous that this person is still not found. Zhen has the blessing of the heavens and the favour of the luck of the country. How can zhen die at the hands of villains?”

For so many days, they finally heard his majesty mention the events of that day. All the ministers immediately pricked their ears, like 10,000 cats were scratching their hearts, and couldn’t help analysing every word from his majesty’s mouth.

Yuan Buwei spoke halfway, then stopped talking.

He stood up and said softly:

“Dear ministers, zhen happened to gain heavenly enlightenment. Zhen wants to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth in ten days to awaken the dragon vein with the luck of the nation. Gather the human dao and dragon Qi to reassure the hearts of the people!”
