Origin System, I have a barren mountain

"Why was Lord Liu taken away by someone who wasn't Your Majesty? Could it be that the Emperor Emeritus's men took him away?"

Cheng Yunmo blurted out.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it a little.

The Emperor Emeritus is now far too powerful. If she speaks up, and he turns against her now, she will have no recourse.

"My father?"

Liang Yu seemed surprised and paused for a moment before saying, "Why would you mention my father? Isn't my father already dead?"

Cheng Yunmo was surprised this time, staring blankly at Liang Yu, seemingly not understanding why she couldn't understand this complete sentence.

"No, it's impossible."

Cheng Yunmo never suspected that the Emperor Emeritus was dead, because no one had ever mentioned it to her.

Moreover, Cheng Yunmo thought about it carefully and realized that when he saw the Emperor Emeritus, the aura of a living person was different from that of a dead person.

"I'll go save people first."

Cheng Yunmo said.

With the Emperor's directions, Cheng Yunmo quickly found Lord Liu.

Fortunately, she was in a spirit state at the moment, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to keep up with Lord Liu who was being taken away.

"Where are you taking me? You are not the Emperor's men!"

Lord Liu realized what was happening and tried to break free from them.

This was a subconscious reaction; I never even considered the possibility of successfully escaping it.

But as soon as Lord Liu moved his arm, a force from who-knows-where caused him to break free from the person holding him.

Cheng Yunmo grabbed Lord Liu and started running. Lord Liu didn't react at first, but then he saw a horse swaying over, which turned out to be the Emperor's horse.

"This...Your Majesty?"

Lord Liu ran while looking around, wondering where the Emperor was.

Cheng Yunmo knew that Lord Liu couldn't see her now. After watching Lord Liu mount his horse, she turned back to look at the men who were about to take Lord Liu away.

Although I didn't have time to talk to the Emperor about the Retired Emperor, I had a very special feeling when I saw these people.

This feeling is similar to seeing the retired emperor in DouDou's parents' dream.

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor Emeritus had mentioned that he was no longer alive, but I hadn't realized it, seeing these people now makes me realize that my understanding might have been somewhat wrong.

These people gave her the feeling that they were very energetic.

This vivid feeling of being alive made her realize a problem.

She considered many possibilities, but she never actually considered that the Emperor Emeritus might really be dead, but this death was just what he wanted everyone to see.

Given the Emperor Emeritus's abilities, it's not impossible for him to achieve this.

Although Liang Yu did not say it, he did not know why his father, the emperor, had done something to harm him.

Cheng Yunmo hesitated for a moment, then decided not to follow them any further. She felt that they were more likely to spot her, so it was best to leave now.

After an unknown amount of time, Lord Liu suddenly realized something and looked around at the horses running.

"Lord Cheng, if you were here, would you please say hello?"

Cheng Yunmo glanced at Lord Liu with a strange look, then picked up a small stone and threw it in front of Lord Liu.

Lord Liu, “…”

Cheng Yunmo originally intended to send Lord Liu back first, but unexpectedly, Lord Liu started talking incessantly about the Emperor, especially how the Emperor had appeared to him in dreams multiple times in order to force him to handle some state affairs, and he also brought up the matter of the Western Cheng Kingdom.

"Hmm? What happened to Xicheng Kingdom?"

Cheng Yunmo did not notice that Lord Liu could suddenly hear, although it was only a sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz, as if it were right next to his ear.

"Lord Cheng, you may not know this, but the Kingdom of Xicheng may not even exist."

Lord Liu said.

Cheng Yunmo hesitated and glanced at Lord Liu's expression.

It wasn't that she cared that much, but rather that Lord Liu's expression had become somewhat strange since he mentioned Xicheng Kingdom.

Lord Liu's face was as red as if it had been boiled, almost frighteningly so.

"I, Lord Cheng, should I not have brought up the matter of Xicheng Kingdom? Every bone in my body feels like it's being twisted."

Lord Liu said.

Cheng Yunmo's expression was extremely shocked when he heard what Lord Liu said.

"Lord Liu, you're already in this state, and you know you shouldn't mention it, yet you still do?"

At this moment, Lord Liu still had the composure to discern the meaning behind Lord Cheng's words, and slowly said, "I understand what Lord Cheng means. You already know about this matter. So tell me, is the Emperor of Xicheng Kingdom the Retired Emperor?"

"what?"

Cheng Yunmo stared at Lord Liu with an incredulous look. Lord Liu's face looked like it was about to bleed. Even though it had already turned out like this, he still had to speak.

She had never considered this possibility. She never imagined that these fragmented pieces of information, all the news she had gathered, would lead to such an answer when pieced together.

"Haha, so Lord Cheng didn't expect this. Actually, it's not surprising. After all, I only found out now. If I hadn't been captured by the Emperor Emeritus's men, I wouldn't have thought of such a thing."

Lord Liu's expression suddenly improved.

When Cheng Yunmo saw this strange scene, he heard the carriage in front of him suddenly stop and a pair of hands stretched out from the carriage.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Lord Liu quickly got down and knelt down to pay his respects.

Cheng Yunmo was stunned. The Emperor was in such a state, yet he still wanted to come out.

The reason was that as soon as the emperor got off the carriage, the carriage immediately started to burn, just like a small furnace.

Cheng Yunmo glanced at the special clothes the emperor was wearing; they didn't look like ordinary fabric.

Moreover, the emperor is now so thin that he looks like a skeleton.

In just a few days, you've lost so much weight.

Cheng Yunmo casually took out a handful of seeds. "Your Majesty?"

Liang Yu glanced at the seeds, then found an empty patch of land nearby.

The dust that was raised was completely covered in water.

After Liang Yu planted the seeds, he saw that the original dust was now covered with damp moisture, and when he looked again, the seeds had grown at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Cheng Yunmo was stunned. Actually, she didn't know what kind of seeds she had just given Liang Yu. Now, seeing the vines that had grown directly, she realized that they were actually watermelons.

The watermelon grew like a balloon, reaching a weight of over forty pounds.

It was just a small plot of land, but unexpectedly, it produced five or six large watermelons.

Cheng Yunmo had never seen such a strange scene before. She looked down at the five or six large watermelons with curiosity. She couldn't possibly lift such big watermelons by herself.

Lord Liu stared at the Emperor with wide eyes, astonished.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is truly amazing."

Liang Yu himself hadn't expected it, because a fruit like a watermelon had never been this big before.

He drew the dagger he always carried and cut the watermelon in half.
