Phoenix Returns - C39

When Master Chu told him that the incident that year might have had something to do with Empress Shao Liusu, Yu Wuyou didn’t quite believe him.

Because when he and his mother returned to the Imperial Palace, Shao Liusu had always been very good to them. When he was young, he had played very closely with Zhan Feitian, and Shao Liusu even treated her mother like a sister.

No matter what, he would never believe that Shao Liu Su would kill him and his mother, and after regaining his status as a prince, she even successively encountered assassination attempts.

Now that he knew that the incident that year had something to do with Shao Liusu, Yu Wuyou had no choice but to interrogate her face to face. Not to mention that she was the Queen of a southern neighbour, even if he addressed her respectfully as his mother, he might not necessarily admit it.

Assassination was even worse. Killing people was easy, but after killing them, who would be the one to take the blame?

Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to find ironclad evidence. As long as he could prove that the assassination incident that year was related to Shao Liusu and make it public, then he could punish her in front of everyone in the world.

Furthermore, now that Zhan Feitian had left the Subordinate Country, Yu Wuyou had obtained a saint’s favour. In order to preserve the throne, Shao Liusu would definitely not let him go so easily.

Thus, it was a good opportunity for him to make use of and allow Shao Liuxiu to make the first move.

Master Chu sat on the chair next to Yu Wuyou, supporting his delicate chin with his hands, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Your martial arts are not bad, and you are a handsome man, but your brain doesn’t change. There are many ways to kill people, and you don’t have to do it yourself.”

“The enmity of killing mother, I will personally chop off her head to pay my respects to my mother. If I do not have to take revenge myself, how will I have the face to live in this world? ”

“Then, do you think killing her now is considered taking revenge? Will your mother be able to rest in peace? Of course not. Not just the dead can solve everything, and sometimes taking away what they want the most would be even worse than death. ”

Yu Wuyou squinted his eyes, suddenly recalling the meaning behind his last sentence. Not bad martial arts and a handsome man, but his brain can’t do anything.

That’s right, in terms of wits, who could compare to her? She alone could topple the Heavenly Master Palace, support her younger brother to ascend to the throne, and retreat from the great army of tens of thousands in the Western Territory. Who could compare to her?

Even if it was a hero of the current era, no one would be able to achieve such a feat. It was just that if she still stirred up the matters of the Southern Neighbors Royal Family, even the Southern Neighbors would be ridiculed by others in the future.

He, Yu Wuyou, had roamed the martial arts world since he was young. If he couldn’t even solve these minor problems, then wouldn’t his years of living have been a waste?

Yu Wuyou asked: “Then according to you, what should I do?”

“Of course it’s to get the position of the Lord. After you gain power, how do you want to deal with it?”

Her expression did not change as she earnestly said this! Yu Wuyou sighed, was this her method?

Of course not, when Chu Shiyu saw his extremely ugly expression, she said seriously, “Forget it, I’ll just be frank with you. Think about it, why doesn’t your royal father allow you to thoroughly investigate what happened that year, because he knows who did it. Currently, the entire Southern Neighbors were under the control of the Shao Family. They supported Zhan Feitian in seizing the throne, not because there was only one prince, but because many of the powerful ministers and officials were under the support of the Shao Family. Once your royal father allows you to investigate what happened that year, it would be equivalent to offending the entire imperial court. He is the ruler of a nation, do you want him to kill everyone in half of the imperial court? So when he stopped you, he was also trying to find a way out for himself. ”

“But my mother …”

“Of course you have to avenge your mother. If you want to avenge her death, then it’s different. Right now, your royal father is most afraid of breaking the relationship between you and him, because you are actually more outstanding than Zhan Feitian. But to Mrs. Shao, you are a threat to her and her son. Even if you don’t fight for the position of the Lord of Storage, I’m afraid she won’t let you off easily. So, after you have obtained the position of monarch, as long as you find evidence of her violation, you will definitely offend the monarch. If you anger the entire southern region, then wouldn’t it be easier for them to kill her? ”

Yu Wuyou was still a little confused. If the Shao family kept their distance, then this opportunity would disappear, right?

He thought for a long time before asking Chu Shiyu, “You’ve killed a member of the Imperial Family, aren’t you afraid of being despised by the world? Why can’t I do the same?”

Because you are the future king, and I am not, and at worst I will be seen as an unwinking banshee, and I can do these things, and my brother cannot.” She can do it, but you can’t do it. A country can have a princess or a queen that doesn’t care what means it has, but it doesn’t allow a tyrant. That way, you can’t control a country because the people won’t agree with you. In their eyes, they want a king with a moral character.

After she finished speaking, she let out a sigh of relief and put her gaze onto the hilt of the sword in her hand. This sword had taken the lives of countless people, but she had never let her little brother get a single drop of blood.

For she knew that what the people wanted was not a tyrant who killed the innocent, but an enlightened ruler who could stabilize the hearts of men.

Therefore, she was the only one who could do those things. She would rather act like an unpardonable person than allow Chu Ting to kill the name of the imperial clansmen.

Yu Wuyou heaved a long sigh. As a woman, she was decisive in killing and had a deep sense of righteousness. She was also able to look at the bigger picture.

“I understand. Although I don’t have the imperial authority, it’s impossible for me to withdraw now. I will fight to the end. I must put ten times of pain on her body so that my mother can feel at ease in the underworld.”

The Mentor laughed and said, “Now you are enlightened, right? Although your royal father is still returning to Dragonscale, he is still afraid of me. Dragon Scale cannot stay by my side forever, so I will return to Yan Shi as soon as possible. I will no longer meddle in the matters of the south, or else I’m afraid that I might get into a ruckus again. ”

“When do we leave?”

“Tomorrow morning, you won’t give it to me, but I still want to ask you one thing. Regarding this dagger, I really want to know how it came to be in this world.”

Yu Wuyou was stunned, she was still tangled up in this matter, but how could she hide it from him?

“Didn’t I say it? I don’t know much, and most of the things I heard were from others. I can’t help you with that. But I want to know, why do you care so much about the previous owner of this dagger?

The Mentor hesitated for a long time. That person was the first man in this world to get close to her, but he only wanted to cure the poison from the thorns in her body.

When she had fainted in the thorns, and the soldiers had pursued her relentlessly, that man had appeared.

After helping her block off the pursuers, he would drive away the thorns on her body and save her from water and fire.

He didn’t know if he was affected by the poison of the thorns or if he was in a daze from the pain, but he could smell a very special herbal smell from the man’s body. He was wearing a white suit, but his appearance couldn’t be clearly seen.
