Wear it quickly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die

Zhang Chengyi is the first child of Wang Wu and Zhang Yuezheng. The two invested a lot of effort in nurturing him. If Wang Wu were asked to change, she would rather sacrifice her own life for the health of her eldest son.

Seeing that she insisted, Ding Yi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Well, come with me and go see His Majesty to buy some time for the children. We should set out at 3 p.m. without delay."

It was already noon, and they didn't have much time left.

Today is the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. The emperor took this opportunity to unite with other ministers to take down Pan Yan first, thus cutting off an important arm of the Zhang family in the court. Then he quickly arranged for his own people to take the position, allowing the political enemies and lackeys below to arrogantly insult the Zhang family.

Zhang Chengyi has received news from other officials that Pan Yan has been impeached. It seems that the emperor wants him to be sensible and resign, otherwise...

At the beginning of the afternoon, a carriage set off from Zhang's house. In the carriage sat Lady Wang Wu, a first-rank official, and a mysterious man who was wrapped up tightly.

The Zhang Mansion was close to the imperial city, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to arrive outside the palace gate.

At the entrance of Taihe Gate, Wang Wu got off the carriage, straightened his clothes, and knelt down facing the gate.

"I, Wang, the widow of Zhang Yuezheng, beg to see Your Majesty. Long live His Majesty."

Wang Wu kowtowed three times and nine times, which frightened the Jinyiwei at the palace gate and made them rush to report. Forget about this point, what is Wang Wu doing here?

After the Jinyiwei who delivered the message left, Ding Yi opened the door of the carriage, slowly got down, lifted his hood, and revealed a familiar face.

"Master Zhang?"

The Jinyiwei in front of him was trembling with fear and making gestures secretly. With Ding Yi's ability, he knew that someone else had gone to report the news.

"I have some unfulfilled wishes and must meet your majesty in person."

Zhang Yuezheng had been in power for decades. Upon learning that Zhang Yuezheng had come back from the dead, Emperor Li paced back and forth in the palace with visible panic on his face.

Outside the palace, Ding Yi and Wang Wu had already arrived led by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Zhang Yue was about to see the emperor, so who would dare to make him wait?

Sun Hai, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Li, was already waiting outside the door. He saw Ding Yi walking in front with slightly stiff movements, and Wang Wu following closely behind him.

Reading people's expressions is one of Sun Hai's greatest abilities. For some reason, he could repeatedly see pain on that figure's face.

Ding Yi was really feeling uncomfortable at this time. The palace of a country gathered the fortune of a country, and this body was a dead person. That kind of mysterious fortune would attack this body, and Ding Yi in the body would also bear it.

She had to protect this body that should no longer exist, and she also needed to resist the harassment of the palace's luck. She filtered through her mind countless times what this Emperor Li, who was taught by Zhang Yuezheng, should do in order to protect the Zhang family and continue to implement the new policy.

I thought too much and revealed some flaws, which were noticed by Sun Hai.

His sharp eyes swept towards Sun Hai, and Sun Hai's pupils shrank. He immediately lowered his head and came to Ding Yi in a servile manner.

"Master Zhang, His Majesty is waiting for you inside."

"Hmph!" Ding Yi flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

He was wearing a wide cloak on the outside and a round-patterned shroud underneath.

Ding Yi couldn't stand the taste and simply refused to change it.

If Emperor Li did not agree, he could endure the pain and do it a few more times.

"Teacher?" Emperor Li held onto the table, his knees weak, "No, Grand Master, what's wrong with me?"

When he saw a real person who didn't look like a real person, Emperor Li was a little timid at first.

Emperor Li had always been afraid of Zhang Yuezheng, and only dared to do anything after Zhang Yuezheng's death.

He was ready to show his skills, but who could tell him why that man came back to life and was on his head again when he was ready and starting to celebrate?

Emperor Li felt that the sky was dark and wondered why he, as an emperor, was so pathetic.

He wanted to be tough, but when he caught that person's eye, he not only felt short of breath, but also wanted to run away.

"The teacher should not know what I have done, he must not know, he must not know..." He muttered to himself and Emperor Li forced himself to stand up straight.

"Congratulations, teacher, for coming back to life." Emperor Li showed a bitter smile.

Ding Yi didn't buy his story and said truthfully, "I am not back from the dead, but I have come down to the underworld. I was asked by the former emperors of the Moon Kingdom to come up and have a few words with Your Majesty."

Emperor Li's body stiffened, and he immediately stood straighter, but his head lowered slightly, looking like a good student receiving training.

"Teacher, please speak."

Ding Yi could feel the resentment coming from his body. He suppressed the urge to crush Emperor Li with his own hands, put his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice:

"The Hong family of Yue Kingdom still has sixty years left."

"What?" Emperor Li exclaimed, feeling confused for a moment. Zhang Yuezheng was strict but he would not lie to him.

Emperor Li wanted to ask, is it true?

When he met those stern eyes and stern face, he quickly turned his face away and shifted his gaze.

He clenched his fists, a ferocious look flashed across his face, and he wanted to refute.

But, I still don’t dare.

He raised his head and took a quick glance. That face looked particularly pale under the golden sunset. It was really pale, like a dead person's face, staring at him.

Emperor Li's thoughts diverged, wondering whether the person opposite him was dead or alive?

It is unbelievable that he can come to the palace after his death.

If he lives, won't he be suppressed again?

When thinking in this way, even the issue of the country's destiny has to be put on the back burner.

When Ding Yi saw his expression, suddenly a lot of words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out. He had wanted to remind the emperors of future generations, but now, forget it. Every dynasty has its own destiny. Instead of reminding him, he might as well remind others.

If the Hong family can do it, why can't the Zhang family sixty years later? There is no need to give up the place to others in vain.

After figuring it out, Ding Yi's eyes towards Emperor Li became much softer.

Empress Li felt a chill down her spine, sensing that something horrific was about to happen that she had no idea about.

"Your Majesty, I am here to say goodbye to you. I have lived in the capital for a long time, and since I was a teenager, I have rarely returned home. Now, I am like a person who has died once. I should let go of all my obsessions. In the days to come, I just want to be with my family."

All the words I said before entering the palace have now become nothing.

A strong ambition flashed in Lidi's eyes. He was horrified when he heard about Guozuo. But now, none of them were as pleasant as hearing Ding Yi's words of completely giving up power.

Emperor Li was delighted, but Ding Yi felt a sharp pain in his heart, thinking that it was the obsession of this body that was causing the trouble.

"Your Majesty has done very well. I believe that Your Majesty will be an emperor of great talent and strategy, on par with Emperor Chengzu. In the days ahead, I will not be around, so I hope Your Majesty will take care of your health."

Emperor Li showed his delight on his face, but Ding Yi became even more disheartened.

"I don't have much time left to live. I want to take the children home with me. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission to let them live with me. Next time, I will tell the late emperors about your Majesty's excellence."

Nice words were spoken as if they were free, which was completely contrary to Zhang Yuezheng's advocacy, but he did not come out to stop it, he just felt uncomfortable.

His body died, and at that moment, his heart died too.
