Chapter 179 It feels like a lifetime ago
The emperor leaned back in his chair dejectedly and waved his hands feebly: "It's useless, they won't believe it. People are always willing to believe what they see with their own eyes and what they think is the truth, and they don't care whether the 'truth' they think is true or false.
And Mu Bai and the others, they have become estranged from me over the years because of Yin Yi's matter. Haven't you noticed that over the years, the two brothers only went to the palace when their mother was away, and they only came back to Dixing when they visited Yin Yi or Bai Zhuo and the others. Have they ever returned to the Dixing Palace for me, their father?
In their hearts, I no longer exist as their father."
The captain of the guards, who had never seen the emperor in this state, panicked for a moment and hurried forward to comfort the emperor, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.
Because, although what the emperor said was cruel, it was all true.
Now, those people on the Internet have long wishfully believed that His Majesty the Emperor is the insider, so no matter what response His Majesty the Emperor makes now, it is a cover-up in their eyes.
Therefore, almost all the comments from netizens hope that Marshal Bai Zhuo and Prince Mu Bai can investigate this matter personally.
In their eyes, Marshal Bai Zhuo is the former queen's biological brother, and Mu Bai and the others are the former queen's children. They will definitely not cover up for the current queen, and they will be more careful in their investigation.
"Your Majesty, how about you talk to Marshal Bai and the Crown Prince?"
The chief guard said carefully, "After all, Marshal Bai grew up with you, and he knows your character well. And the eldest prince and his friends were all sensible when the former queen passed away. They will definitely not wrongly accuse you like those people who spread nonsense online."
"Ah......"
The emperor sneered helplessly, "If it was something else, it would be fine, but this time it concerns their relatives, do you really think they will still be able to think rationally?
Maybe they, like those netizens, think I am also a participant and want to kill me.”
Looking at the emperor who seemed to have aged several decades in an instant, the captain of the guards felt uncomfortable, but he could not think of any words to comfort him. He could only stand beside the emperor silently and accompany him.

Ever since she stabbed Hei Yu in court, Jiang Wan has been concentrating on taking care of her baby at home. When she has nothing to do, she does prenatal yoga and goes outside to the courtyard to look at the flowers, fruit trees, and the vegetables she grows.
Seeing those plants growing well, Jiang Wan couldn't help feeling a little guilty. These were the plants she wanted to plant, but she had only taken care of them during the period when they were just planted. The rest of the time, it was Xiaopang who took care of them.
Now Xiaopang has become a butler robot that is proficient in all kinds of skills and has also accepted many students.
"Wanwan, the fruit has been cut and is drying outside. You should go inside and have some rest."
Xiaopang was standing at the door greeting Jiang Wan with a plate of freshly cut fruits.
"Hey, here we come."
Jiang Wan patted the dirt off his hands, slowly stood up and walked into the house.
"Wanwan, please go slowly. I just picked these fruits, washed them and cut them. They are very fresh."
"Thank you, Fatty."
Jiang Wan took the fruit plate, sat on the sofa and ate slowly. Xiaopang was worried that Jiang Wan would be bored, so he thoughtfully helped her turn on the computer so that she could watch TV series.
Looking at the fat boy who was busy like a little bee, Jiang Wan took a bite of the apple and sighed. It is true that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Life is so comfortable now.
She felt so comfortable that she wanted to give up, although she felt that she had been giving up since she came to StarCraft.
Since coming to the interstellar space, I have been protected like a fragile item. Every day I don’t have to think about accepting missions and how to complete them. I don’t have to think about who my target is today and how to complete the mission as soon as I open my eyes.
The easy and comfortable life made Jiang Wan feel that all the fighting and killing in the past were things of the previous life.
Jiang Wan lowered her head and touched her belly, feeling the fetus playfully interacting with her in her belly, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
If someone had told her two years ago that she would no longer have endless missions to take on, endless people to kill, that she would have a husband who doted on her without any principles, and that she would have children who were related to her by blood.
She would definitely think that person is sick.
Being a mercenary is actually not as cool as it is shown on TV, nor is it as easy to make money as written in novels. You can't just move your fingers and make money. After you have earned enough money, you can stop working if you want. You can take the money and find a place you like and live a carefree life.
In fact, mercenaries earn money by risking their lives. Although they will receive a considerable commission for each order, their expenses are also considerable. After deducting the cost they spend to complete the task, the money they actually earn is very little.
Also, as mercenaries, they sometimes know some unknown secrets of their employers. As mercenaries, they must abide by the principles of mercenaries and must not disclose the secrets of their employers at will.
But once they leave the mercenary team, they will face endless hunting by their employers, revenge by the family and friends of the targets they have killed, and even their former partners may be hunting them.
Jiang Wan once encountered such an order. A senior mercenary was tired of the daily life of fighting and killing. He wanted to quit this line of work and live an ordinary life with his wife and children.
However, in the end, the news Jiang Wan received was that the entire family of that senior had been killed.
The one who bought their lives was the son of one of his previous mission targets. In order to avenge his father, when he learned that the man had quit the mercenary gang, he immediately offered a high reward for the lives of his entire family.
Jiang Wan still remembers what one of her friends said when she heard the news.
"This senior has been in this business for so many years, how can he still be so naive? In this business, once you enter, there is no way out except death.
He actually wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife and children. How naive and ridiculous. People like us are destined to be lonely all our lives. We can't have anyone we like or have children. Once we have them, we will have weaknesses and will be close to death."
