The Regent secretly read the diary, and I went from being a cannon fodder to being the group's

Seeing the words gradually appearing in the diary, Xie Jingchuan, who had been waiting for a long time, had been secretly waiting for today's update.

Sure enough, he didn't have to wait too long, the words in the mysterious diary had completely emerged.

【November 7th】

[Oh my god, today's sky is even gloomier than the old man's face. I feel even more depressed than the husky in my backyard that hasn't had a bath for three days.]

[Speaking of which, the daughter of the Shen family is simply my nemesis and creditor. Not only does she pick on me all day long, but today she suddenly had a whim and rewarded me with a few taels of silver, under the pretext of asking me to wash her feet. Seeing her arrogant look, I thought she was going to ascend the throne and become emperor! ]

Xie Jingchuan pondered that if there weren't so many illegitimate children in the capital, he would have turned into Sherlock Holmes, pulled this poor girl out of the vast crowd, and awarded her the "Best Ninja Turtle of the Year Award".

The first three paragraphs are complaints with little nutritional value, but we can also roughly infer from the text that the person who wrote this diary is a bastard daughter of a noble family named Shen, who is treated very poorly and lives a very miserable life.

If there was no more accurate information, Xie Jingchuan would have wanted to check her out a long time ago.

After all, princes have been romantic since ancient times, and all the ministers and dignitaries have dozens of illegitimate children. There are at least thousands or tens of thousands of them in the entire capital, and it would take too much time to check.

[If I hadn't known that the Regent King would be killed tonight, I would have used the water from washing his feet as face wash water.]

"call……"

When Xie Jingchuan saw this, he tightened his grip. His already slender and distinct knuckles became even more slender, like white jade, as he tightened his grip.

Ever since he picked up this diary, he has been worried every day, fearing that the disaster predicted by the diary would happen one day and blow him to pieces.

He wasn't afraid of death, but if he died, wouldn't the country, which had been stabilized with great difficulty, be turned upside down? How many people would have to die before the situation would calm down?

So he was eager to know the cause of his death so that he could take precautions early.

Now I finally see it in this future diary.

"Poisoned tonight?"

Thinking of this, a terrible thought occurred to the Regent: Could it be that this tonic...

The regent's cold voice echoed in the palace.

However, he only drank the tonic brought by his brother himself after 11 p.m. every day, and he did so without fail for more than two years.

After changing his mind, he immediately killed this idea in its infancy.

After all, he was his biological brother, a close friend who had accompanied him in fighting monsters and leveling up, getting into trouble and getting beaten up since childhood. How could he possibly lay hands on him?

He patted his chest and told himself: Let me take a look at what the diary says first. How can I doubt my brother?

[Speaking of which, this regent is also quite unlucky. He helped his second brother do a lot of dirty work back then, but the "equal division of the world" promised by his second brother after he came to power turned out to be a blank check. Don't you think he is angry? Which emperor is willing to share power with others? That's just as ridiculous as asking a cat to share a can of fish! ]

When Xie Jingchuan saw this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if he had been slapped hard in the face by reality.

That's right. Since ancient times, which emperor didn't regard power as more important than life? He held a large army and owned a large area of ​​land. If he really had second thoughts, it would definitely be a disaster for the country. From this perspective, his brother might really be cruel to him...

From ancient times to the present, it seems that no emperor has been willing to share his power equally, and he has even been constantly weakening the power of the kings and taking it for his own use.

He felt that the regent himself was indeed too great a threat to him, as he controlled half of the country's military forces and had an extremely vast fiefdom.

[So, regardless of whether you were sincere at the beginning, more than ten years have passed, how can people's hearts not change? You still hold such great power in your hands, who else should you kill if you don't? ]

His heart was beating like a drum, and his thoughts were all over the place. Yes, the throne was something that every hero in history had coveted.

Even if his brother really wanted to share the world out of brotherly love, after years of baptism, can he still keep his original intention?

After all, history tells us that the deep love between royal brothers is often just "plastic brotherhood", and the bloody battle for the throne among the nine dragons is the best proof of this.

[According to the diary, the regent was poisoned by the emperor today and tomorrow, and the one who did it was his most trusted guard. How ironic.]

[Alas, once the Regent dies, our Ministry of Revenue will probably suffer as well. I better pack up and run away. I will climb over the wall tomorrow night and head south. Maybe I can save my life.]

After reading this passage, Xie Jingchuan felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over his head, and he shivered with cold.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still found it hard to accept when the truth of death was laid so clearly before him.

He even suspected that the diary was deliberately set up by someone to alienate him from his brother. However, the strange nature of the diary made him unable to ignore it.

At this moment, a guard's deep voice came from outside the house:

"Your Highness, Liu Yu requests to see you." A loud announcement came from outside the door. It was from Xie Jingchuan's most trusted personal guard, Liu Yu.

Xie Jingchuan had mixed feelings, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Come in."

With the permission of the Regent, the personal guard Liu Yu pushed the door open and walked in, holding a cup of medicine in his hand.

Xie Jingchuan was very familiar with it. This medicine was sent to him by the Imperial Hospital because his brother was afraid that he would overwork and hurt his body. He has been drinking it for two years.

Looking at the medicine that had been placed on the table, he would have drunk it all in one gulp under normal circumstances.

But the crisis written in the mysterious diary had made him a little wary, and emotionally he did not want to believe the story written in the diary.

But rationally, he had to ensure his own safety.

"Let's go. I'm a little tired today and don't want to drink." Xie Jingchuan waved his hand as if he was relaxed, signaling Liu Yu to remove the medicine on the table.

"Your Highness, you work hard for state affairs day and night. This medicine is a gift from the emperor. You can't stop taking it!" Liu Yu became nervous when he heard it.

When Liu Yu heard Xie Jingchuan say he didn't want to drink the medicine, his whole body froze and he half-knelt on the ground with his fists clasped.

"Compared to working day and night, I think it's not easy for you either, guarding outside every day." Xie Jingchuan smiled playfully when he heard this.

When Liu Yu heard Xie Jingchuan's praise, he half-knelt down again to express his gratitude: "This is my duty, and I don't deserve your praise."

Xie Jingchuan pointed at the medicine on the table and said, "The reversal of the sun and the moon is very harmful to the blood. This is the medicine my brother specially made for me to replenish my blood. You can drink it."

When Liu Yu heard that Xie Jingchuan wanted to drink the medicine himself, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"I dare not go beyond the emperor's favor to your Highness. Please take back your order."

After listening to the guard's evasive answers, Xie Jingchuan began to believe about 70% of what was written in the diary.

"This is a military order. If you disobey it, you will be punished by military law and your family members will be implicated. Liu Yu, why don't you thank me?"

Having said that, Liu Yu was helpless and could only walk forward tremblingly and drink the medicine on the table.

Before long, the effect of the drug took effect quickly. Before Liu Yu even had time to call for help, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell in the room, dead.
