Quick Transmigration: The host is super good!
Chapter 137 The Duke's House's Eldest Daughter 7
Xu Chuan was mentally prepared to be dismissed from office and removed from his title, but he was afraid that his entire family would die!
What’s even worse is that nine generations of his clan suffered. How can he face his ancestors?
Xu Chuan's heart was filled with sorrow and he wished he could go back three years ago and kill the self who had the ambition to become the dragon's disciple!
Chen Yuan came to check in regularly, and what he saw was an old father who was surrounded by a depressed aura and almost turned gray.
? ???
"What is troubling Father?"
A bright light suddenly lit up above Xu Chuan's head, and the gloomy atmosphere on his body was instantly swept away: "Yaoyao, it's Yaoyao! I'm glad to have you!"
Looking at the old father in front of him who was almost crying, Shen Yuan frowned deeply: What's wrong?
Completely unaware that his daughter was disliked by him, Xu Chuan tried hard to maintain his usual dignified and elegant appearance, and told her what had happened in the recent days in a calm tone, but he couldn't help revealing the dejection in his eyes and brows.
Then, with an expectation in his eyes that he himself did not realize, he looked at his daughter and asked, "Did you already foresee that your father would suffer this disaster, and that is why you specifically reminded me?"
Shen Yuan had no intention of revealing anything about his previous lives, so he nodded silently and let him misunderstand.
Xu Chuan suddenly realized something, avoided her gaze, and said with some difficulty: "Then Yaoyao, do you have any way to resolve this?"
Without waiting for her to answer, the man added hastily, "I know I was wrong. It was my husband who was greedy. No matter what the outcome is, I am willing to accept it. But your grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters are all innocent."
"As a father, I don't ask for myself to escape. I just hope that you will try your best to save their lives if possible for the sake of our blood relationship. If it is a hindrance to you, then..."
He wanted to say that if it wasn't possible, then so be it, but when he thought of the familiar faces of his relatives and how they would be implicated by him in the future, a flush of blood appeared in front of his eyes and he couldn't say the rest of the words.
But he didn't have the nerve to embarrass his daughter and put such a heavy burden on her young shoulders.
He was neither left nor right for a moment, and his face was wrinkled in confusion. His former elegant demeanor was gone.
It is true that one misstep can lead to eternal regret. Since ancient times, greed has been the most harmful to people.
"Father," Shen Yuan couldn't bear to see him suffocate himself to death in front of him, so he said indifferently, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Really?" Xu Chuan was suddenly surprised and delighted. He had long believed in his daughter's ability and had no doubts at all. He was only worried...
"If you take action, will it affect your practice?"
He also knew that his question was a bit shameless. Could it be that just because his daughter said that it would have an impact, he would abandon so many relatives and not ask her for help?
The answer is... No...
Because of this unspeakable secret thought, he didn't even dare to raise his head.
Shen Yuan naturally noticed this, but she did not expose it, she just shook her head gently: "No."
Xu Chuan's mind suddenly relaxed: Fortunately...
Although he got a positive answer from his daughter, more than ten days passed without her showing any intention of taking action. Meanwhile, the situation in the court became increasingly tense as the emperor's health did not improve, almost to the point of being on the verge of breaking out.
Even though the princes had been fighting to such an extent, they still did not relax their "investigation" of him. He was summoned to testify on his own several times in succession. Xu Chuan was inevitably exhausted and gradually became anxious.
He couldn't help but ask his daughter again, but the only answer he got was to wait patiently.
Xu Chuan: …
Well, he tried hard.
Finally, when the old father's face was about to turn purple, Shen Yuan moved.
Without alarming anyone, she walked into the palace with ease, just like last time, and used a trick to find the dying old emperor.
Although Chen Yuan kept calling the emperor "old emperor", in fact Emperor Shunde was only 38 years old, which is still a young man in modern times!
Of course, even in ancient times when the average life expectancy was shorter, he was not considered too old. I just don't know how he kept himself healthy. He was treated with all the lavish hospitality every day, but he was still so weak that he was knocked down by a minor illness.
Chen Yuan reached out and touched the old emperor's thin wrist, and found that it was just an evil wind entering his body, which is a modern cold. It was only because he had been sleep deprived for many years and did not exercise much that the disease became more severe and he had a high fever for several days.
Although according to the original owner's memories from previous lives, he eventually survived, the illness also ruined his body. Afterwards, he had difficulty controlling the court officials and was unable to suppress his several older sons, which caused the situation in the court to become a mess.
More than a year ago, after conning her parents into giving her some convenience, she went out on purpose to observe this small world and the real living conditions of ordinary people.
Compared with the powerful and wealthy, their conditions are naturally not much better, but although everyone is busy and hard-working, the expressions on their faces are not numb, and it is obvious that they still have hope for life.
Chen Yuan knew that in this era, this level of governance was already considered good. After all, the low productivity was not enough to support everyone to have enough food and clothing and live a glamorous life.
In general, the old emperor governed the country well, and he was indeed diligent and loved his people, at least much better than his sons.
The second prince is capable, but he is very fond of enjoying life. After he ascended the throne, the annual expenditure of the palace was nearly half more than that of Emperor Shunde. This is still in the early stages. It is hard to say what the situation will be like in ten years.
The Fourth Prince was much worse than him. Soon after he ascended the throne, the outer court was in chaos. Even the original owner, who lived in the deep palace, could hear countless complaints. It is conceivable how bad he was as an emperor.
The eldest prince is disabled, the third prince is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and the fifth prince is only three years old and is even less competitive.
Since the current emperor is doing a good job, why not let him continue to do so?
Chen Yuan remembered that there was an emperor in history who lived to be eighty or ninety years old. If he had that longevity, the current princes would probably have been outlived by him.
The second prince and the fourth prince were both ambitious men, and both had harmed the original owner's family. Although no one knew who the murderer in the third life was, the fact that he dared to target a high-ranking official of the dynasty must have something to do with the fight for the throne.
By that time, they will be fighting each other to the death, only to find that their father is getting stronger and stronger, more energetic, and gradually looks younger than themselves. That must be a very desperate feeling, right?
Chen Yuan admitted that she had a bad taste. She felt extremely happy just thinking about that scene. She smiled lightly, took out the pills she had rolled earlier, and stuffed them into the comatose old emperor's pocket.
