Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

The system was not surprised to hear Ye Wuhen's call. It could be said that it had anticipated it, so it remained silent.

That was Ye Wuhen. If it were anyone else, he would have to shout and act out a lot.

After waiting for a long time without a response from the system, Ye Wuhen spoke again, "Little melon, speak, don't play dead."

The system spoke softly, [What do you want to talk to me about? ]

"What did you see?"

"You could have asked the host to ask for you during the day, why did you come here secretly to ask?" The system was puzzled.

Ye Wuhen pursed his lips slightly, with a hint of sadness in his voice, "I don't want to... pollute her ears."

The system sighed, "I see your family is discussing giving up treatment, but they haven't made a final decision yet."

“Who suggested giving up treatment?”

Your mother.

Ye Wuhen's body trembled slightly. He didn't expect that the first person to give up on him would be the one who gave birth to him after ten months of pregnancy.

"What's that person's attitude?"

System: [Although it was your mother who said that, the decision was made by your parents together.]

Hearing these expected words, Ye Wuhen laughed at himself. As expected...

His parents never loved him.

The system said cryptically: [Your brother is going abroad.]

Ye Wuhen sneered. His younger brother was going abroad, and as a living dead, he should have been sensible and ascended to heaven immediately.

It is he who is unfilial, and he wants others to be bad people.

He looked at the person on the bed with red eyes, his gaze gradually becoming firm, "Is my grandpa okay?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that the system had not responded yet, Ye Wuhen realized that something was wrong.

He asked anxiously, "What happened to my grandpa?"

The system sighed heavily, [Why do you think your parents dared to propose giving up treatment?]

Crystal tears dripped from his eyes, and he shook his head in disbelief, "No, Grandpa has always been in good health! Little melon, my grandpa is fine, right?"

Although it felt a little bit hard to bear, the system still answered truthfully: [Your grandfather died of a cerebral hemorrhage.]

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Wuhen seemed to have lost his soul in an instant, and stood there frozen like a body.

It took a long time before Ye Wuhen responded.

He grabbed Jiang Yueyang's hand and put it on his face, tears rolling down his face. He was so painful that he couldn't say a word.

His body trembled, silently expressing his grief.

The system didn't know how to comfort him, and finally said, "No one cares about you in that world anymore, but here, you still have her."

“…She doesn’t belong to me either.”

"Haven't you already made your decision on whether she's yours?" the system said, with a see-through tone. "The coin landed heads, and you secretly flipped it."

[Also, I have to correct you. The host is free and doesn't belong to anyone.] The system added at the end.

Ye Wuhen did not respond to the system's words. He just slowly leaned his head on the bed and looked at Jiang Yueyang quietly.

At this moment, his heart felt as if it was being pierced by countless needles, and pain spread throughout his body.

The moonlight outside poured in and fell on him, as if covering him with a layer of cool gauze.

Ye Wuhen stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Yueyang's face, but stopped just as he was about to do so.

He said in a trembling voice: "You are the only one I have..."

***

On the other side of the night, Luo Ge led his troops into the Nanzhao Palace and killed their way to the bedroom of Nanzhao King Luo Lie.

Luo Lie stood behind the soldiers and shouted sternly: "Luo Ge, you are crazy! You actually led the troops to rebel!"

"Luo Lie, write down your abdication edict. You and I are still brothers!"

"Don't even think about it!" Luo Lie glanced at the soldiers behind Luo Ge, "With just this few men, do you think you can succeed?"

"With just a few people?" Loge chuckled. "You don't think the Justice of Peace and the High Priest will come to rescue you, do you?"

Luo Lie's expression changed. "What did you do to them?"

"What do you think?" Loge took out a few military tokens from his arms. Those were the military tokens held by the Qingping official and the high priest.

"Impossible!" Luo Lie didn't believe it. "Don't try to fool me. That military token must be fake!"

"Really? Then why haven't they come to rescue me yet?"

Luo Lie swallowed hard, his eyes tinged with panic. "Do you know what you're doing? They are all my Nanzhao's most trusted ministers! Are you worthy of our father and the bloody battles they fought for?"

Luo Ge's eyes darkened. "I know exactly what I'm doing! For the sake of the people of Nanzhao, even if I become a sinner for all eternity, I won't regret it!"

"For the people of Nanzhao?" Luo Lie shook his head and laughed. "You said you rebelled for the people of Nanzhao? Aren't you hypocritical?"

"Whatever you say, Nanzhao cannot go to war with Daxia!"

After hearing this, Luo Lie knew why he had rebelled.

He pointed at Loge angrily and shouted, "You coward!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Either write a letter of abdication or... die!" Loge pointed his sword at him.

"If I let Nanzhao fall into your hands, Nanzhao will be forever trampled under the feet of Daxia!" Luo Lie slowly drew his sword. "You want to ascend the throne, only after I die! Soldiers, listen to my order, kill!"

As his voice fell, the soldiers of both sides rushed towards each other, accompanied by fierce shouts of killing.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone on the bluestone floor of the Nanzhao Palace, reflecting a devastated scene.

The bloodstains and corpses everywhere silently tell the tragic scene of last night.

Loge stood on the blood-stained stone steps, watching the soldiers carry the bodies and the palace maids clean up the bloodstains.

The person standing next to him said, "Wang, look at the sun today. Isn't it exceptionally bright and warm?"

Upon hearing this, Loge looked up, and the sunlight was like a ray of dawn, illuminating the future of Nanzhao.

"Wang, you are right!"
