Chapter 135 I only have you
[What Yanzhi people? Second brother's personal guard is a Yanzhi person?] How come he doesn't know about this?
Not to mention this life, he had never even heard of this in his previous life.
How could Second Brother's personal guard be a Yanzhi? Is he collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?
Jin You was reluctant to make any conclusions. Perhaps only the Second Prince himself knew the truth of the matter, and he didn't know what benefit the Second Prince would get from doing this.
As for his guess, it was also related to the second prince.
"On the day of the investigation into Zhu Xun's death, Ah Que said that the personal guards sent by the Second Prince were from Yanzhi. Ge Pu Mu also had dealings with Zhao Wuming, but he said that Zhao Wuming gave people a very divided feeling, sometimes making him wonder if there was another Zhao Wuming."
It was this sentence that made Jinyou alert. Once two Zhao Wuming appeared, such consequences would occur.
The person who died in the underground palace martial arts arena did not have a human skin mask on his face. Jinyou could be 100% sure that the dead person was the real Zhao Wuming.
And the Zhao Wuming who appears in front of everyone now is most likely a Yan Zhiren in disguise!
When Jinyou shared his guess with Xiao Yunzhen, it immediately caused a storm in Xiao Yunzhen's heart.
[Is this true? Is the information reliable? But I can't understand why it was Zhao Wuming? After all, Zhao Wuming is just an empty shell, right?]
"Not necessarily." Jinyou retorted, "How could someone who can follow the dragon be just a show-off?"
Even this person is wise but appears foolish.
As for why it was Zhao Wuming?
Jinyou also had some guesses, "Maybe it's because he's close to the Second Prince."
The Second Prince has Yanzhi people around him, and the first people he comes into contact with must be officials who often interact with Xiao Mingyi.
[Then do you think my second brother knows? ]
"Hard to say."
[...Is the throne really that important? ]
Xiao Yunzhen was silent for a long time and then asked a question from the bottom of his heart.
Jinyou also fell silent.
There is no answer to this question.
Different positions involve different interests.
For millions of ordinary people, they just hope that every year will be the same, with enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and a happy family.
For those in power, power is important. They have to maintain the aristocratic family that has been established over hundreds of years, and they want the clan to stand firm.
Those in power want more, want it to last longer, maybe even forever.
Ambitious small families also want to try their best to climb up and eventually hold power firmly in their hands.
The so-called royal family is nothing more than the top aristocratic family in the world.
Even though Emperor Xuan came from a humble background, he had already broken through the peasant class and became a scholar since he ascended the throne.
As a result, the Xiao family's status rose throughout the world, becoming the most feared family in the world.
Power is difficult to control, but once power is in one's hands and one has the supreme power to decide life and death over the world, it is difficult to maintain the original intention.
People of the royal family are different from people of the aristocratic families.
Because they are not like the nobles who can just keep doing what they have now and live in peace and safety.
The princes could never do this.
They know that they have the potential to become the next emperor, so they will fight and compete desperately just to become the ultimate winner.
For them, sitting on the throne is equivalent to owning everything and no longer having restrictions on their own behavior.
When they saw Emperor Xuan's "freedom" and "ability to call the wind and rain", they envied him and wanted to possess him.
That's an almost crazy obsession...
Perhaps to them, nothing in this world is more important than the throne.
But if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The second prince has made no achievements and is colluding with the Yanzhi people. He will never be able to take the throne in this life.
It’s just that Xiao Mingyi doesn’t know the price at this time.
At the end of the silence, Xiao Yunzhen clearly felt Jinyou's confusion.
【Jinyou? What's wrong with you? 】
Jinyou came back to his senses, feeling an unspeakable sadness in his heart.
In just over a month, it seemed like a year. What was he pursuing?
Is it for the immortal country that Xiao Yunzhen mentioned?
Or was it because his father had instructed him to help Xiao Yunzhen ascend the throne?
For a moment, Jinyou became negative as if he had lost his goal in life.
He doesn't seem to be living for himself...
[Jinyou? Jinyou? What's wrong with you? Speak... Don't cry...]
Jinyou shook his head, feeling conflicted and in pain.
In order to repay the life-saving grace, he personally promised to be a pawn in his father's hands.
This was his own choice, so he should have no complaints.
But why... is he so confused and unwilling in his heart!
[Wu~ Jinyou, don’t cry. Wu~ If you feel sad, you can tell me. Wu~]
Xiao Yunzhen didn't know why Jinyou was crying, but he felt so sorry for Jinyou that he wanted to cry.
At this time, the baby's inner voice was only two words repeated over and over again.
【Heartache...】
Jinyou was somewhat moved and slowly buried his head in the baby.
Xiao Yunzhen's heart suddenly trembled.
He heard Jinyou say:
"Xiao Yunzhen...you are all I have."
[Jinyou, you're the only one for me... wuwuwuwu~]
The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, and the depression that had been pent up in their hearts for a long time was resolved in this cry.
When he looked up again, Jinyou's eyes became unusually firm.
From now on, as long as Xiao Yunzhen is around, he will never be lost again.
Xiao Yunzhen is his target!
After figuring this out, Jinyou smiled. It turned out that it wasn't that Xiao Yunzhen couldn't live without him, but that he couldn't live without Xiao Yunzhen.
Without Xiao Yunzhen, he would be meaningless.
From the moment he was picked up, he no longer lived for himself, but only for Xiao Yunzhen...
Is it sad? Maybe it is.
But at least he will no longer be confused or regretful.
When Jinyou calmed down, he found that Xiao Yunzhen had fallen asleep again.
Whatever, he's still a baby.
Jinyou picked up Xiao Yunzhen and walked out of the study.
Snowflakes started falling outside again, and Jinyou hugged Xiao Yunzhen tighter.
It seemed as if they were the only two left in the huge Liuyunzhai.
There was no Xiao Que'er coming over to exchange martial arts skills, nor was there Qing Fei chasing A Que to ask for a fight. The whole yard, and even the whole palace, was silent, without any trace of worldly life.
Like an old man in his twilight years, he walks into the dusk with his back to the morning light.
Jinyou was not happy, but there was nothing he could do. Sacrifices had to be made for the so-called great cause.
Happiness is short-lived, and we must always have enough strength to maintain temporary stability so that we can possess it for a long time without being afraid of losing it.
Jinyou sighed deeply, it's all for the greater good~
At this moment, Jinyou felt a sense of loneliness from the bottom of his heart.
It'll be alright soon...
............
The snow fell lightly all night long.
It was still dark, and only small lights were lit here and there on the street.
Looking closely, you can see that they are candidates walking on the snow with lanterns in hand.
Candidates gathered from all directions and walked towards the Imperial Examination Hall in an orderly manner.
Soon, there was a huge crowd of people in front of the Imperial Examination Hall.
At daybreak, someone struck a gong in front of the Imperial Examination Hall.
"It's three quarters past midnight. Candidates, please enter the venue in an orderly manner!"
At the same time, the morning court began.
