Chapter 27 The late emperor's death was not glorious
Everyone was shocked; this was even more outrageous than claiming to be the old emperor's son.
The late emperor has been dead for twenty years, yet he still managed to have a son after being buried.
The old emperor was so shocked that he picked at his ear in an extremely undignified manner.
He must have heard it wrong.
Or maybe Shen Zhiyi's magical artifact is acting up.
"Wow."
So shocked was Shen Zhiyi that she accidentally let out a little sound.
However, in her shock, Shen Zhiyi didn't realize that she had actually let out a little sound.
Everyone pretended not to hear anything.
This surprised Yang Hao. She turned her head and looked at the handsome official next to the old emperor. The "Wow" she had just heard was clearly from the official's mouth, but it seemed like only she had heard it.
Was she hallucinating?
She must be hallucinating. The emperor is still here; who would dare to make a sound? If they did, they would definitely be punished.
Oh no, she's been possessed by an evil spirit.
[Hahahaha, old emperor, old emperor, didn't you love having many children and the blessing of many blessings? Your good fortune has arrived!]
The old emperor shook the rattan cane in his hand, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Prince Duan: Father, he just got cold.
[Congratulations! Congratulations to our old emperor on gaining one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven younger brothers and sisters!]
"Cough cough cough."
Among the crowd, a minister who lacked composure choked on his own saliva.
Shen Zhiyi subconsciously looked over.
Immediately following was the old emperor's sharp glare.
The coughing minister pretended to cough a few more times, almost coughing up his lungs.
Oh, I've caught a cold. The weather's gotten cooler lately, and it's easy to catch a cold if you're not careful. Sigh, I'll have to add more blankets when I get back.
Shen Zhiyi withdrew her gaze and looked up at everyone's heads again.
[The late emperor was quite extraordinary; even on his deathbed, he still managed to favor others. What's outrageous is that it wasn't just one person, and even more outrageous is that they conceived.]
Shen Zhiyi didn't understand, she didn't understand at all.
[Could it be that the old emperor's family had exceptionally high-quality sperm? How could the late emperor, at his advanced age, still conceive on the first try? That's incredibly impressive.]
[Old Emperor, you should learn from this.]
Even the old emperor didn't understand.
Shen Zhiyi, is your monitoring system definitely not malfunctioning?
How did he suddenly gain seven younger siblings who had been living among the common people? It's unbelievable!
All the officials: Yes, it's a ghost!
The late emperor died on his western tour, so it is highly likely that his younger brothers and sisters were born around that time. If they were born in the palace, they would never have ended up among the common people.
Judging by their age, they should all be around nineteen or twenty.
The old emperor sat in his chair, his face full of black lines.
"Hey, is it really appropriate for me to be watching a dead person's spectacle? After all, I have pretty good manners."
Shen Zhiyi made a tactful remark.
But for those who love to watch funny videos and are loyal to making sarcastic comments...
I can't hold it in, I simply can't hold it in.
It's fine if no one shares gossip with her; it's not illegal for her to entertain herself in her own mind!
[Damn it! The late emperor's western tour wasn't actually to inspect the Yellow River waterway! This is a huge bombshell! The history books now say he died on the way to inspect the Yellow River, earning him the reputation of a benevolent emperor who cared for his people. Why is that?!]
Shen Zhiyi was indignant. This person died in such a shameful way, so how come he has a good reputation in the history books?
That fellow was clearly on his way to find the elixir of immortality.
[666, Qin Shi Huang went on an eastern tour, and you went on a western tour. Wouldn't that be a death sentence? If you want to go to the Western Paradise, just say so.]
Besides, Qin Shi Huang was worthy of it, while your late emperor just stuck two scallions in his nose and thought he was an ox.
Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes, wishing she could announce it to the world right now.
[The rebellion—no, I mean, the conquest of the empire—was fought by the old emperor, and he also found all the heroes and strategists. After overthrowing the previous dynasty, that old man became the first emperor. But actually, he initially wanted to enjoy a life of leisure, but the old emperor dissuaded him. Goodness, it turns out the old emperor was the one who proposed the water conservancy project! Otherwise, all that money would have been used to build palaces!]
Shen Zhiyi discovered that the things she had read about the late emperor were all other people's evaluations of him. This time, she specifically retrieved the surveillance footage of the late emperor, and it was completely different from the historical records and other people's evaluations.
How can such a person have a good reputation in history books?!
The late emperor didn't actually die from exhaustion while inspecting the Yellow River waterway. The fact that even the old emperor didn't know how he died is truly disgraceful for an emperor.
The old emperor flicked the thorny branch in his hand, startling Prince Duan, who trembled.
Despite his fear, Prince Duan was still eager to know how his grandfather had died!
The late emperor reigned for only a few months, which ranks among the shortest-reigning emperors in history.
Because he died so quickly, many people speculated that the old emperor was behind it.
The old emperor cried out that he was wronged, as he didn't even know how his own father had died.
Because his mother kept quiet, the other party ran away as soon as he mentioned it.
You would never guess that the late emperor died from a sudden illness while riding a horse.
A series of gasps of cold air instantly filled the air around them.
Even the old emperor couldn't control it.
The bramble in his hand fell to the ground, startling Lao Tie.
scandal.
A colossal scandal.
A colossal royal scandal.
She appeared before everyone looking so fresh and beautiful.
Dying from a sudden stroke while riding a horse is a shameful thing, even for an ordinary person, let alone for a king.
Yang Hao: No, what's wrong with these people? She feels like she's from a different world from them.
The old emperor picked up his jaw, which had dropped in astonishment.
He got it.
He finally understood why his mother hadn't said anything.
How embarrassing! So embarrassing!
After Zhang Sheren came to his senses, his eyes lit up.
After he got back, he had to go to the history museum.
"Husband!"
These two words were like a thunderclap, pulling the stunned old emperor and his ministers out of their daze.
Yang Hao ran towards her husband, who was now incredibly thin.
Prince Duan shuddered and looked at his father in fear.
"He decided to go on a hunger strike himself, it has nothing to do with me."
If you don't arrest them, they'll go on a hunger strike.
Prince Duan: ...
【Huh? Weren't we supposed to beat him up? Why haven't we done it yet?】
When the old emperor came to his senses, he went down and struck Yang Hao with a thorn branch, then politely handed it to him.
Yang Hao quickly waved her hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my husband, but as Prince Duan is a prince, I, a commoner, cannot disobey your superior."
[Oh, I see. With so many people watching, this merchant woman probably thinks the old emperor is just putting on an act. If she really hits the emperor's son today, she and her husband might be killed the moment she turns her back. Hmm, how clever.]
Shen Zhiyi looked at Yang Hao with sparkling eyes.
The old emperor looked at Shen Zhiyi with a gloomy expression.
