Chapter 399 Do it again before you die?
Concubine Lan was directly sentenced to death, and the news quickly spread throughout the palace.
Speaker Lan Youshan tried to intercede with the emperor again, but was stopped directly outside the palace door without even a chance to speak.
The rest of the officials and nobles felt chilled, but they also had some enlightenment.
On the surface, this matter is contradictory. His Majesty the Emperor has just delegated power to the fourth prince Bai Si, but now he wants to kill Bai Si’s biological mother, Concubine Lan. Doesn’t this force the father and son to separate from each other?
But if you think deeply about it, you can't help but take a breath.
Your Majesty is... paving the way for Bai Si and asking Bai Si to be cruel.
What is Bai Si’s biggest weakness? It's his twin brother Baiyou.
This has nothing to do with Bai You himself. No matter what the true friendship between the two brothers is, as long as Lan Keer is around, even if Bai Si is a cold-blooded and ruthless master, he can no longer openly show his love. Take action against Bai You.
Lan Keer is the biggest stabilizer for the two brothers to maintain their superficial friendship.
No matter what, Bai Siruo's actions against his brothers and his disregard for his mother will be remembered in history.
But if Bai Si becomes the emperor in the future, will such a figure keep his twin brother alive? However, a brother and a mother, these two can restrain him in too many ways. The empire is not a barbarian tribe. If the empire wants to be shameless, the emperor wants it even more.
At the same time, Concubine Lan was deposed and died, and the princes and princesses needed a 'mother' - but among the remaining women, only one, Grand Duke Yuan Tie, had enough weight.
Grand Duke Yuan Tie was not liked by the emperor, and if a female grand duke became the empress dowager in the future, it would be even more difficult to feel relieved. Not to mention the royal family, even other high-ranking officials and nobles would have hidden worries about Grand Duke Yuan Tie taking the position of the Queen Mother.
Thinking about this place, many people already feel chills in their backs - this is a signal to help Bai Si pave the way forward...
In fact, His Majesty the Emperor is already teaching Bai Si something - to be a good emperor, one must be ruthless...
Could it be that the death of the eldest prince Bai Zhan made His Majesty completely determined?
Except for not directly announcing it, this is almost equivalent to telling the world that the next emperor is Bai Si.
In other words, this is a test for Bai Si...
Everyone turned their attention to Bai Si.
However, except for Bai Si's plea for love when the emperor ordered Concubine Lan to die on the spot, Bai Si never made any sound after that.
Of course, he still went to see Concubine Lan in front of many people, and cried loudly in a voice that could be heard by the servants outside - "It's useless to be an unfilial son. "That's probably how I cried, and everyone knew about it.
Then, Bai Si hurried to the construction site as if he didn't want to see his mother's appearance before she died again.
Many people saw him wiping away tears while urging people on the construction site to speed up the progress.
Of course, people with a little bit of brains will only sneer in their hearts. For members of the royal family, this acting skill is still required.
Naturally, some people sighed in their hearts - no wonder His Majesty has spotted Bai Si, with such ruthless thoughts, he is indeed worthy of being an emperor.
Everyone was discussing in secret, but very few people paid attention to Lan Keer who was about to die.
Only Lan Youshan, the speaker who used to treat his daughter as a tool, has been kneeling outside the emperor's palace for three days and three nights. Kneeling next to him was the third prince Bai You, who had just been reinstated to his post.
However, the emperor did not even open the door of the palace, but just asked them to kneel.
For a moment, people in the court were filled with excitement, and everyone was in danger.
...
"Second brother is anxious. He has sent people many times to urge me to meet with Grand Duke Yuantie..." Bai Ye said, looking at the man in front of him.
Sean nodded, he was cutting a huge piece of meat.
This meat ball does not look disgusting, but is round and white, which is a bit pleasing.
However, this is a good thing. Sean took it out from the empire's treasure house. Before Bai Zhan died, Sean took Xiao Ci to temporarily sneak into the empire's treasure house and stole this thing. out.
Just treat it as something that was withdrawn before Bai Zhan. Anyway, everyone is dead and there is no way to find out.
This thing has no other use. It is a simple and huge energy supplement. The biggest problem is that the energy in it can only be used for supplementation and cannot be used for training and growth. Therefore, it is so huge but it has always been No one cares.
But for Sean, this is a good thing.
After cutting most of the meat ball into half, Sean threw himself into the healing cabin next to him, and then knocked on it.
“How does it taste?”
"It's tasteless, brother." Sherrill's voice came from inside, but it was a childish version.
Sean chuckled: "This piece should be enough for you to replenish. You don't need to absorb it completely. You need to restore your body first. It's okay to waste the rest."
"Okay, brother. "
Pressing the button made the health care chamber sink into the ground, and then put the remaining meatballs into a box. Sean clapped his hands with satisfaction.
When he looked up, Bai Ye was staring at him.
"What are you doing?" Sean asked blankly.
Baiye rubbed his teeth and said angrily: "Did you not listen to a word I said so much?"
Sean waved his hand: "Isn't it your second brother? Let’s go and cooperate with you sincerely.”
Bai Ye wrinkled his nose: “I made a great contribution some time ago. Now that my eldest brother is dead, I can start talking to the military department. Let's talk. The second brother and Grand Duke Yuan Tie are just interested in this. They still think that I, as a princess, will not hinder the fight for the throne."
"Now the fourth brother has obtained it. With the strong support of my father, my second brother and Grand Duke Yuan Tie are completely anxious - originally I could just pretend to be a coward and do nothing, but now if I get involved with them again, I'm afraid there will be big problems. "
Sean yawned: "What are you afraid of? You don't think your fourth brother can sit in this position for how many years?"
"But my father is in this state now..." Bai Ye pursed his lips. lips.
Sean sneered: "You don't need to worry about your father's status. You are responsible for securing all the resources that can be integrated into your hands... Besides, your father is optimistic about you. Brother, what do you care about what he thinks?"
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I understand..."
She looked at Sean again: "Lan Ke'er Do you know about being given death?”
"I know." Sean nodded.
Bai Ye's eyes showed a bit of suspicion: "Then why are you not in a hurry?"
Sean yawned: "Why am I anxious?"
"Lan Ke'er can be regarded as your... partner after all, right?"
Sean sneered: "The partner is also based on its use value - a concubine who has been abolished, but also... What’s the value? Her family isn’t anxious, why should I be anxious?”
Bai Ye still looked like she didn't believe it. Although she didn't know what happened between Sean and Lan Ke'er, based on some details and her woman's intuition, she instinctively felt that Sean and Lan Ke'er Lan Keer has some ulterior connections.
What can’t someone like Sean do?
In name, she is also his cousin... When this guy finds a chance, he can swing his waist harder than a pile driver...
In addition, although Sean is indeed that He is a kind of arrogant guy, but Bai Ye still knows something about this person - he can be ruthless and ruthless to anyone, but if the other person has already stood on his side without reservation, Sean will not It will make the other party suffer.
This guy is actually extremely defensive.
It is through his unreserved protection of those around him that a despicable and shameless guy like him can gain the loyalty of countless people. With his character, even if Lan Keer loses any value, he will not give up on her casually...
But Sean looked indifferent, and Bai Ye also There was no way to continue asking, and finally discussed some other things, and she left here to work on more important things.
Sean whistled, drawing some lines in the air with his hands.
The Source of Chaos needs to constantly fill up despair and madness, and Serlot's evolution still needs his help.
Of course, the best way to create despair is to plunge him into one horrific fantasy after another that he cannot escape from - even simpler, just letting his daughter die once in each fantasy is enough.
Sean is not worried that Thurlot's spirit will completely collapse. Some people are born with more terrifying power in despair.
In the basement, the already familiar-looking Serlot was roaring in the illusion. Sean took a satisfied look, and finally turned his attention to the special bottle given to him by the High Priest of the Rainbow Nest.
The potion of suspended animation is gone...part of it was used before, and with the passage of time, the remaining bit has lost its effectiveness.
"Tsk, this is still a bit troublesome..." Sean murmured.
If there is a fake death potion, Lan Keer's death grant can be easily fooled. After all, the royal family still has to ensure some dignity when granting death. Painless poison is basically the best choice.
But now that there is no fake death potion, it is still difficult for Sean to hide the past when people around the emperor want to check a person's life activities.
"Tsk, maybe we still have to use force. I don't like fighting and killing..." Sean put his hands behind his head helplessly.
More importantly, the manpower in his hands is somewhat insufficient.
Unlike dealing with other people, in many cases, Sean can accomplish things by himself that only dozens of people can accomplish.
But if he comes closer to the emperor and his people, Sean starts to feel a little stretched.
Sheryl still needs some time to recover, Moza is trying to find a way to advance to Crimson, Zhu Zhu and Xiao Ci can’t count on it yet.
Bai Ye and Bai You are somewhat powerful, but their identities are sensitive and they are often unable to participate in secret operations.
Paradise City is too far away, and the other people who can control it are not worthy of trust. Bai Youming disappeared with the Red Angel Zora, and there is still no news...
"It's troublesome. …”
Sean thought for a moment and finally stood up.
......
In the palace, Lan Keer was staring at the empty room alone in a daze.
She has received the news that she has been sentenced to death.
At first, she was shocked, confused and scared, but now, she is much calmer.
She even had some deeper thoughts.
On the one hand, His Majesty is paving the way for Bai Si, and he wants him to cut off all family ties. On the other hand, that is a secret that no one knows... Your Majesty, will you know about Sean and yourself?
Somehow, after thinking about these things, Lan Keer no longer had the initial fear.
She actually had some feelings of "it's not a loss".
There were still two days before her death, and all her titles had been stripped away. The last dignity was that she was not directly thrown into prison.
During this period of time, she has also been strictly guarded, and it is difficult for even the Lan family to meet her.
“It doesn’t matter anymore…” Lan Keer’s bare feet and smooth white calves were swinging lightly beside the empty bed.
She begged to keep a record player and a few records that Sean had given her.
It’s just that the Silent Ones are indeed ruthless, and everything inside has been emptied.
Humming a little tune Ruoyouruowu, Lan Keer stared at the empty wall in trance.
I miss him a bit...
It would be nice to see him again before I die.
However, this is an order given by His Majesty himself, and the outside is heavily guarded. Even Sean can't sneak in...
Pouting his lips in disappointment, Lan Ke'er He fell back on the bed and finally sighed.
"At least my life has not been in vain... Before I met him, I didn't know many things..." Lan Keer whispered to herself, and finally showed a faint smile.
At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Lan Ke'er didn't get up, just looked at the door.
It’s time for food delivery.
The originally classical and luxurious wooden door had been firmly sealed, with a small opening opened on it. After the knocking on the door ended, a small window was opened and the food was pushed in.
Neither good nor bad, retaining basic decency.
However, Lan Ke'er didn't have any thoughts about eating for the time being. After looking at it for a few times, she lay back on the bed again.
Then, leisurely laughter sounded.
“You don’t eat enough before you die?”
Lan Keer was stunned and straightened up in disbelief. She looked around, but she didn’t see anyone.
“Did I miss him so much that I was hearing hallucinations?” Lan Keer said blankly.
After searching again, she finally sat back on the bed in despair.
It was indeed an illusion...
Then, the sound came again.
"You really don't want to eat? Then I'll eat."
Lan Ke'er stood up suddenly, she definitely heard it right!
Suddenly there was a person in the originally empty room. The person picked up the prison meal that was delivered, looked at it, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a few mouthfuls into his mouth.
“Tsk, you really put too much salt. My hands were shaking when I watched the grandson making it.” Sean said with a smile.
Lan Keer stared at him blankly, and after a long time, she finally let out a cry like a little fox, and then jumped into Sean's arms.
"Why...are you here?"
Sean smiled and said: "Can I have another shot with you before you die?"
The joke from hell made Lan Keer, who was still in tears, break into tears and laugh: "I know you..."
