The system takes the poor cub to find his father

Wu Ze's eyes were as deep as a pool, and his gaze fell on the former Emperor of Dayu, Ming Yunqi, who seemed to be in deep sleep.

His thoughts seemed to be pulled into an endless abyss, with complicated emotions surging in his heart. Ming Yunqi, the once high and mighty emperor, now lay quietly here, having lost his former majesty and domineering. Wu Ze felt both awe and an indescribable pity for the emperor.

However, Mingxu, who was standing by, did not notice anything unusual about Wu Ze. Although Wu Ze still assisted him wholeheartedly as in his previous life, Mingxu always felt that Wu Ze seemed to be farther away from him than in his previous life.

Although Wu Ze still gave him advice and tried his best to complete every task, Mingxu felt that Wu Ze seemed to be on guard against him. This subtle change made Mingxu feel a little uneasy, but he did not show it.

Mingxu's eyes fell on Ming Yunqi's body, and an uncontrollable disgust surged in his heart. He still remembered the look Ming Yunqi gave him at the beginning, that condescending look, as if looking at an ant, which deeply hurt his self-esteem.

Now, Ming Yunqi's body was right in front of him, but Ming Xu had no sympathy in his heart.

"Slash his face and throw him into the mass grave. Don't let me see him again. He will pollute my eyes for nothing." Mingxu frowned, his tone full of disgust. His voice was cold and ruthless, as if he was ordering something that was the most ordinary thing.

There was no one else here, they were all his own people who had followed him till now, so Mingxu didn't need to hide his inner emotions. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness, and he wanted to completely wipe out Ming Yunqi's existence.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Standing behind Mingxu was a young man who looked a few years younger than Mingxu.

He was the son of the old housekeeper who had escaped the disaster. At that time, the Ming government was destroyed due to the crimes of Ming Youzong, and the old housekeeper was also executed as an accomplice.

He is the illegitimate son of the old housekeeper, and few people know his identity. After the incident in the Ming Mansion, he and his mother were dismissed and wandered in the countryside, suffering from contempt and bullying. His mother was ridiculed for having a child out of wedlock, and he was bullied since childhood because of this. The hatred for Emperor Dayu has long been deeply engraved in his bones.

"Yes." He replied in a low voice, his eyes fell on Ming Yunqi's body, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

So what if he was the emperor? In the end, he still fell into his hands. His heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge. He walked straight towards Ming Yunqi with a knife in his hand, raised the knife in his hand,

"What is this guy going to do to my father?" The little cub Ming Jiang beside him keenly sensed the resentful aura from the young man and was shocked.

Although he knew that Ming Yunqi in front of him was just an illusion, when he saw that man was about to attack "Daddy", he couldn't help but jump onto Ming Yunqi's chest, staring at the middle-aged man fiercely.

"It's because your father is too cruel and unpopular. Even a small servant beside Mingxu hates him to the core." Bai Lian said gloatingly with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Shut up, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Ming Yunqi glanced at Bai Lian coldly, with a hint of warning in his tone. Since coming here, Bai Lian's words and deeds have become more and more outrageous, which makes Ming Yunqi feel a little unhappy.

Ming Yunqi looked around, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart. His ministers, his chief eunuchs, those who were once loyal and swore to protect him and Kyoto, are now gone. They either committed suicide or were killed, and no one was spared. Even though he knew that all this was just acting, the gloom in his heart was still hard to dissipate.

Bai Lian noticed Ming Yunqi's mood change, so he tactfully shut his mouth and said no more.

Ming Jiang still stared fiercely at the young man, watching the knife in his hand slowly reach towards Ming Yunqi's face. Although the little guy knew it was just an illusion, he couldn't help but jump to the chest of the body, staring at the man with bright eyes, as if he wanted to use his little body to protect "Daddy".

Just when the young man's knife was about to cut Ming Yunqi's cheek, a voice as gentle as jade suddenly sounded, interrupting his action.

"Wait a minute." The voice was calm and firm, as if carrying an invisible force that made the middle-aged man's hand pause involuntarily.

Ming Jiang looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was Wu Ze, who had been silent the whole time. Wu Ze stood aside, looking indifferent, and looked at Ming Xu calmly. Ming Jiang felt that Wu Ze looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where he was.

"Sir, as the successor of the Dayu Dynasty, if people knew that you were disrespectful to the body of the founding emperor of Dayu, you would be criticized by the world." Wu Ze spoke slowly, with a hint of admonition in his tone. His expression was still calm, as if he was just stating a simple fact.

"Is this guy defending you?" Bai Lian couldn't help but mutter in a low voice. He had watched Wu Ze grow up, and was well aware of the grudge between Wu Ze and Ming Yunqi. Normally, Ming Yunqi was the culprit who destroyed the Wu clan, so even if Wu Ze didn't hate him, he shouldn't plead for him. But now, Wu Ze actually stood up to stop Ming Xu from disrespecting Ming Yunqi's body, which really surprised Bai Lian.

"Did the sun rise from the west?" Bai Lian couldn't help but tease, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Wu Ze's actions not only surprised Ming Yunqi and Bai Lian, but also shocked and displeased Ming Xu. He looked at Wu Ze coldly, with a chill in his eyes.

"Are you pleading for him?" Mingxu's voice was cold and low, with a hint of questioning in his tone. Wu Ze actually disobeyed him for Ming Yunqi's corpse, which made him feel very unhappy.

"No." Wu Ze's expression did not change, and he still looked at Mingxu calmly, "I am doing this for your reputation. Although the officials of Dayu support you openly now, it is undeniable that you have the same blood as this person. If they knew that you inherited his throne and insulted his corpse, I'm afraid you might not be able to keep your position."

There was a hint of admonition in Wu Ze's tone, as if he was just considering Mingxu's future. His expression was open, and he let Mingxu's eyes look at him.

Mingxu's eyes were deep and cold, staring straight at Wuze, as if he wanted to see through his heart. Wuze still stood there calmly, his expression unchanged, as if he didn't care about Mingxu's scrutiny at all.

The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment. Those who had followed Mingxu till today also keenly noticed the subtle changes between Mingxu and Wuze. Some of them chose to support Mingxu because of Wuze's ability, and now seeing Mingxu's attitude towards Wuze, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

They vaguely felt that Mingxu did not trust Wu Ze as much as they thought. This suspicion and vigilance made them begin to doubt whether their decision to support Mingxu was correct. If Mingxu was so afraid of Wu Ze, who had always been assisting him wholeheartedly, what would the future of them, his followers, be like?

This feeling of uneasiness spread in everyone's hearts, like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting.
