Good luck today

Chapter 404 I had expected such a day for a long time

In the fantasy world, that night thousands of years ago.

Su Shixia, using Feng Xiyue's identity and perspective, stood on the tall tower together with the general Zhan Wushang, whose appearance was ninety-nine similar to Qin Yi's, and quietly watched the wedding of Saint Emperor Ye Shengzhao all processes.

Until early the next morning.

The skylight shone on the two of them through the thin mist. Feng Xiyue, covered in slightly damp morning dew, sighed softly and silently turned around and walked towards the bottom of the tower.

Zhan Wushang watched her walk away without stopping or following her.

It wasn't until Feng Xiyue's figure was about to walk down the stairs and completely disappear from his sight that he moved slightly.

Before he could catch up, Feng Xiyue stopped first.

She did not turn her head to look at Zhan Wushang, but suddenly raised her voice and asked: "General, is the sword in your hand to protect the Holy Yan Dynasty, or to protect the Holy Emperor alone?"

When the two of them boarded the tower last night, they had already sent people to clear the place.

Today, there are no outsiders around.

Feng Xiyue didn't know whether she was not afraid of being eavesdropped by others, or whether she deliberately wanted to let the words reach the ears of the eavesdroppers. When she said this, her tone did not contain any hint of restraint.

Zhan Wushang was silent for a moment after hearing this.

He subconsciously pressed his hand tightly on the sword at his waist, pursed his lips, and paused for a long time before saying: "The Holy Flame Dynasty can be as powerful as it is today, all thanks to the painstaking efforts of the Holy Emperors of all generations."

"Only when the Holy Emperor is safe and healthy can the entire Shengyan Dynasty be at peace."

"When I protect the Holy Emperor, I protect the entire Holy Flame Dynasty."

Feng Xiyue did not refute his words, she just smiled and pulled the corners of her lips as if she heard something extremely childish and innocent.

"Then if one day, the position of the Holy Emperor is no longer consistent with the position of the entire Shengyan Dynasty, and if you insist on protecting him, you will be an enemy of all the people of the entire Shengyan Dynasty? At that time, which side will you stand on? "

"Do not……"

Just as Zhan Wushang was about to refute, Feng Xiyue interrupted him.

"General, do you believe that there will be such a future? What will you think in your heart when faced with such a future? These are not important to me, and I don't want to know."

"You just need to tell me your final answer."

There was another long silence.

This time it took so long that Feng Xiyue thought the man would never respond to her again.

She didn't insist anymore, and when she was about to go downstairs, she suddenly heard the man's tough but determined voice reaching her ears.

"When His Majesty made me the general of the country, I swore that I would be devastated in my life and protect the Shengyan Dynasty to the death."

"I will not break my own oath."

"If there ever comes a day...the sword in my hand will be unsheathed to protect the dynasty."

After listening to his words, Feng Xiyue still didn't look back. She only raised her hand to push her hair that was messed up by the breeze behind her ears, revealing her fair and beautiful side face and the slight smile on her lips.

"Then I hope the general will remember what he said today and never break his promise."

Environmental images flashed one after another, sometimes just a few seconds passing by.

Sometimes, it’s a long, clear past. Su Shixia couldn't distinguish the specific rules of those illusions. She allowed the scene in front of her to change constantly. She always remained calm and silently observed the development of the situation with a bystander's mentality.

Everything that happened after that was exactly as Feng Xiyue expected.

The union of Saint Emperor Ye Shengzhao and Cui Xiazhi was the beginning of the turmoil in the Shengyan Dynasty.

At the beginning, it was not obvious, but in summary, it was just Holy Emperor Ye Shengzhao who took the imperial power and gradually became more and more arrogant and eager to achieve great success.

As the empress, Cui Xiazhi not only did not remind or advise her, but instead blindly catered to her and even intensified her efforts to enjoy herself in the palace.

Many of the courtiers were dissatisfied, but out of fear of Ye Shengzhao, no one dared to say anything.

Feng Xiyue mentioned it a few times, but Ye Shengzhao ignored her every time.

After Cui Xiazhi learned about it, she even regarded Feng Xiyue as a thorn in her side. She felt that Feng Xiyue was deliberately instigating a relationship between her and Ye Shengzhao. She used various insidious methods frequently and wanted to get rid of Feng Xiyue. .

Although Feng Xiyue still serves as the high priest of the Shengyan Dynasty, the power in her hands is gradually being taken away by the Holy Emperor Ye Shengzhao and the Queen Cui Xiazhi.

She knew that she was getting further and further away from the core of the Shengyan Dynasty's rule, but she did not struggle or resist at all, and even felt a few emotions similar to relief in her heart.

If you know that the future has been decided and the outcome cannot be changed, then not getting involved from the beginning may be the wisest decision.

Just when she thought she could really stay out of it, a twist happened.

Just like the depiction on the mural in the tomb, Cui Xiazhi was pregnant.

Ye Shengzhao once asked someone to calculate his and Cui Xiazhi's fate. Those people told him that the union of the two of them would give birth to the best child in the world, who could lead the Shengyan Dynasty to its peak.

After learning that Cui Xiazhi was pregnant, Ye Shengzhao was naturally overjoyed. He immediately granted amnesty to the whole world and celebrated, so that all the people in the Shengyan Dynasty could feel this joy with him.

Unfortunately, great joy brings sorrow. Cui Xiazhi's fetal position was unstable and she showed signs of miscarriage.

At this time, a treacherous minister came up with a poisonous plan, saying that the lives and hearts of boys and girls should be used as sacrifices to please the gods, so that the unborn little prince could be favored by God and be born smoothly into this world.

Ye Shengzhao and Cui Xiazhi were almost going crazy trying to keep the child.

They adopted the evil advice of the traitor without hesitation, without even doubting the authenticity of the plan.

Countless innocent children were forced to leave their parents.

Ye Shengzhao and Cui Xiazhi were still not satisfied. They felt that children born to ordinary untouchables did not have enough fate and would not play a big role.

Ye Shengzhao forcibly issued an order requiring the princes of each fiefdom to donate their own flesh and blood of appropriate age.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, all the princes in the world rebelled.

Just because of such a ridiculous, vicious and almost ridiculously stupid decision, the entire Shengyan Dynasty was plunged into dire straits.

Cui Xiazhi was greatly shocked when she heard the news about the rebellion of the princes. The fetus in her belly became more and more unstable, and the signs of miscarriage were very obvious.

It was not until that time that Ye Shengzhao finally remembered Feng Xiyue, who had been neglected by him for a long time, and summoned her into the palace.

That day, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who was always high-spirited, was sitting on the dragon throne, but he put his hand on his forehead, and his brows and eyes were filled with unconcealable irritability and fierceness.

"You were not optimistic about Hao Gu's marriage to Cui Xiazhi. Did you already foresee such a day?"

The moment she heard these words, Feng Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle.

She looked directly at Ye Shengzhao calmly and replied decisively, "Yes."
