The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1675 - 813 The Monarch’s Wrath (First Update)

"Long Yi! Long Yi!"

Little Jingkong was being carried by Long Yi, flying over rooftops and walls. The feeling of whizzing through the night wind made him feel extremely cool.

Instead of being afraid, he was so excited that he kept shouting!

Long Yi wore a mask, hiding his facial expressions, but Gu Jiao could sense the relaxation in his heart.

He was also very happy.

In the days of being an assassin, there was never-ending killing. Even though he had forgotten his past, such a life was a simple happiness in itself.

Gu Jiao watched the big and small figures jumping in the night and sighed, "Truly carefree."

Gu Chengfeng, after listening for so long that his ears were almost turning into donkey ears, finally couldn’t help but say, "The two of them are quite carefree now, but have you considered this? Liao Chen’s father is dead, and Liao Chen is very likely the third master of the Dark Shadow. He became a monk and didn’t get married or leave any descendants, so Jingkong is probably the fourth master. If Long Yi’s mission was to kill the Dark Shadow master, then once Long Yi regains his memory, he might come after the two of them."

He paused, looked at Xiao Hen with a few traces of sympathy in his eyes, "Don’t hold onto any delusions. Your blood also flows with the Xuanyuan family’s lineage. He might kill you too. In my opinion, you guys shouldn’t help Long Yi regain his memory. He’s fine the way he is."

Xiao Hen and Gu Jiao simultaneously looked at Long Yi, who was darting through the night with Little Jingkong on his back.

Perhaps it was their illusion, but he seemed to exude a great sense of loneliness.

A person who didn’t know who he was, where he came from, or where he was going, and didn’t know what task or purpose he had, was like being excluded from the whole world.

When he thought he was just a Dragon Shadow Guard, he didn’t have such confusion.

But now he knew he was not a Dragon Shadow Guard.

Xiao Hen looked at Long Yi’s tall and lonely back and said, "He has the right to know who he is."

Gu Chengfeng shook his head in disbelief, "You’re crazy, really crazy. Don’t you know who he is? The six nations’ number one killer who could defeat Dark Soul! He became notorious at thirteen, a killer who made people tremble! If he regains his memory, you’ll all be dead!"

He looked at Gu Jiao, "Talk some sense into him! You’ve seen Long Yi in action; once that guy goes berserk, no one can survive!"

Gu Jiao held Xiao Hen’s warm hand in one hand and touched her delicate chin with the other, "How about starting by teaching Long Yi how to speak first?"

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

The Crown Prince was brought back to the Duke Residence.

Gu Chengfeng was not very courteous, directly splashing a bucket of cold water on him to wake him up. The Crown Prince jerked awake and was about to shout angrily, only to see Gu Jiao’s foot already lifted.

He silently swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

The room held only Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng. Although the Crown Prince had never seen Gu Chengfeng’s face, he had seen Gu Jiao before.

His expression turned cold, and he shouted sternly, "Xiao Liulang, how dare you! You actually kidnapped the Crown Prince of Dayan!"

Gu Jiao ignored him and just gave Gu Chengfeng a little eye signal.

Quickly take him away, he’s annoying.

Gu Chengfeng "took" the Crown Prince to the next room.

By now, it was late at night, and everyone in the courtyard had gone to bed. Little Jingkong had also fallen asleep on Long Yi’s back on the way back.

But the National Master was still awake.

After shoving the Crown Prince into the room, Gu Chengfeng immediately turned to leave, "You two father and son have a good talk, I’m out!"

He turned and went back to his room, pressing his ear to the wall alongside Gu Jiao.

The dim lamp in the room emitted a faint scent of medicinal wine and wound ointment.

The National Master sat at the window in the Grand Master Chair, wearing a hat. His face was shrouded in light and shadow, but his sharp eyes emitted a keen brilliance.

The Crown Prince, not seeing clearly at first, straightened his back arrogantly and asked, "Who are you? Why have you captured me?"

The National Master slapped the table, exuding an imperial aura, "Audacious rebel!"

The Crown Prince, frightened by the familiar stern shout, weakened at the knees and fell to the ground, "Father?!"

With the change in angle, he finally saw the face under the hat.

Indeed, it was his father.

The Crown Prince asked cautiously, "Father, did you have Xiao Liulang capture me? Where is this? Why did you capture me, Father?"

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, the National Master sensed that he had no idea about the real and fake National Master.

This realization made him feel somewhat reassured.

The National Master said flatly, "You don’t need to know where this is. Just remember what I’m about to tell you."

The Crown Prince respectfully replied, "Please speak, Father."

The National Master said solemnly, "Your mother Han conspired to rebel. I was harmed by her and have not been in the Imperial Palace since last night."

Each of the three short sentences struck the Crown Prince like a thunderbolt, leaving him dumbfounded.

The Crown Prince raised his head in disbelief and looked at the National Master, "Father... what are you saying? I don’t understand. Are you talking about the curse technique? Father, please see clearly, Mother is innocent! She was framed! She never had any disloyal thoughts towards you..."

The National Master glanced at him and asked gravely, "Then how do you think I got out of the palace?"

The prince was stunned and did not understand the meaning of the monarch’s words.

Yes.

Just now, the monarch said he hadn’t been in the palace since last night.

No, that’s not right. The monarch attended court this morning and issued a decree to restore his position as crown prince.

The monarch looked deeply at the prince and said, "The monarch in the palace is fake."

The prince’s heart was struck heavily again: "The one in the palace...is fake...then..."

Could the decree that restored his position as crown prince also be fake?

He thought to himself, how could he have risen so swiftly...

His father, his father didn’t want to reinstate him and didn’t intend to investigate the National Master Hall and Shangguan Yun, all of this was his mother’s scheme...

"No, no...it’s not like this...I don’t believe it!"

He muttered as he stood up, looking at the monarch in the light and shadow with a completely unfamiliar gaze: "My mother wouldn’t betray my father..."

The monarch stared directly at him: "Then how do you explain the presence of another monarch in the palace? Do you think that I sneaked out of the palace at this hour to deceive you with a scheme of two monarchs?"

The monarch needed to deal with the prince and the Han Family, and didn’t need to go through such trouble.

The prince was momentarily speechless.

But he still couldn’t accept the fact that he was reinstated as crown prince by a false decree.

He had just managed to fly back into the clouds, he didn’t want to fall again!

The prince clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "No...it’s not...my father isn’t fake...if there are really two monarchs...then the fake one...certainly must be you! My father detests Xiao Liulang the most! Xiao Liulang is arrogant, disregards royal authority, never kneels before my father, and he colluded with Duke Anguo...this is also the reason why my father dislikes him...besides, he is from the underdeveloped country...why should he defeat so many outstanding members of cultivated families and seize the position of commander of the Hei Fengqi? All of this is intolerable to my father!"

"If what you said is true, if you are indeed my father and were harmed out of the palace, you would never go to Xiao Liulang! My father trusts the Wang Family the most...the first person he would go to is Wang Xu!"

"Time to reveal yourself, right? Although I don’t know what means Xiao Liulang used to find someone whose appearance and voice are so similar to impersonate my father, but fake is fake! I advise you not to assist this deception, otherwise with my father’s methods, you will wish you were dead!"

The monarch listened to the prince’s vehement words without immediately refuting, instead he fell into silence.

The room suddenly quieted down.

The prince didn’t know if his ears were buzzing, he could only hear his own heavy breathing and pounding heartbeat.

"So, in your heart, this is what I am."

In the darkness, the monarch’s disappointed voice could be heard.

The prince’s heart skipped a beat, he almost instinctively wanted to shout something, but held back.

The last glimmer in the monarch’s eyes dimmed completely.

If the prince had managed to shout "Father", he wouldn’t have felt utterly disappointed.

Look.

This is the crown prince he selected against all opposition.

This is the son he has carefully nurtured for many years.

This is the future monarch he chose for Dayan.

"No need to eavesdrop, you may come in."

He said wearily.

The prince was startled.

What eavesdropping?

What come in?

What is father going to do?

No, he’s not his father!

His true father is in the palace!

Gu Chengfeng stepped into the room and grabbed the prince’s collar: "Let’s go, you!"

-

The conversation with the prince made the monarch’s regret reach its peak. He finally tasted the agony of being betrayed by everyone, which was even more unbearable than he imagined.

Xuanyuan Li, if I hadn’t betrayed you back then—

But where in the world is there any "if"?

Only consequences and outcomes.

The prince was taken to the firewood room, where Gu Chengfeng found a rope and tied him up.

The prince sat in the chair, his hands and feet unable to move. He looked coldly at Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng: "What do you plan to do?"

Gu Chengfeng held a stick, flashing a mischievous smile.
