I'm afraid of pain, so I put all my defense into it.

Le Wang looked at his eldest son and asked, "If you ascend the throne, can you continue to help father find the whereabouts of that person?"

The eldest son shook his head: "Father, you should wake up. You have been looking for that person for at least ten years, but in the end, you found nothing. I think that father was confused by her and neglected the court. If this person really exists in the world, I will not look for her, but will ask someone to kill her!"

"Because she is a witch who is causing chaos in the court!"

Le Wang looked at his son, sighed, and took off his dragon robe: "The jade seal is on the table, go and get it yourself."

"Thank you, father!"

The eldest son breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he didn't want to bear the infamy of regicide and patricide, even if this monarch was a tyrant. He turned and walked to the table, where there was indeed a jade seal.

He walked quickly forward and reached out to take the jade seal.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, his body twitched unconsciously, and he lowered his head slightly. A sharp knife pierced through his chest, with a small piece of heart hanging on the tip of the knife.

"Father, you..."

Before he finished speaking, his eldest son's eyes lost their spirit, his whole body softened, and he fell to the ground.

Le Wang let go of the sharp knife and threw it away, holding up his eldest son's body and crying loudly.

"Son, father doesn't want to kill you, you forced father!"

"As long as you can find Mei'er, the throne will be yours sooner or later. Why can't you wait a little longer? Father really doesn't want this!"

It was a wonderful experience to kill his own son. Le Wang felt sad, but at the same time he felt relieved.

Without the covetous eyes of his eldest son, maybe he could continue to sit on the throne for a while.

On the second day of the morning court session, Liao Wang carried the eldest prince on his back and walked slowly into the hall, throwing the body in front of the hall. The eyes of the civil and military officials were almost popped out of their heads.

The soldiers of the entire imperial city were replaced by the eldest prince, and all the officials and other princes were controlled, but even so, the eldest prince was still killed.

At this moment, they felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts. Perhaps the current emperor was not as old and useless as they thought.

At least, he still had the strength to kill and the courage to kill his son.

"Continue to look for Su Mei'er's whereabouts."

Liao Wang said lightly, without mentioning the eldest prince at all.

"Yes!"

All the officials agreed and continued their previous work, frantically searching for Su Mei'er's whereabouts.

After seeing the tragic death of the eldest prince, several princes temporarily gave up the idea of ​​ascending to the throne. For a while, the capital was in turmoil. All the imperial guards were withdrawn, and the original imperial guards were all recalled. Everything remained the same as before.

Liao Wang once again sat firmly on the throne.

The scene changed again.

This time, Liao Wang had gray hair and was over 60 years old. He was still wearing a dragon robe, holding incense and candles in his hands, and was offering sacrifices in the imperial mausoleum.

There were three monuments in total, each with the names of the three princes written on it.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you three are so similar. You can't stand loneliness. Your eyes are full of desire for power. You are exactly the same as me when I was young. But why can't you wait a little longer?"

"I need this throne. I still have unfinished business. If possible, I don't want to kill you, but some things cannot be blocked. I said that I must find her alive or dead. Su Mei'er must be found whether she is dead or alive!"

Liao Wang sat in front of the grave and chatted casually.

Over the years, he killed all his sons, so the throne was naturally firmly in his hands.

In the world, no one dared to disobey him. What Liao Wang didn't understand was where Su Mei'er went. She was exiled and should have drifted to a neighboring country, but why was she still missing?

Liao Wang felt that he didn't have many years to live, and his health was getting worse day by day.

While he could still move, he wanted to go back to his hometown again.

The next day, Liao Wang canceled the morning court, did not inform anyone, and went to his hometown alone to worship at the City Lord's Mansion.

To his surprise, a figure stood on the ruins early in the morning, and several incense sticks were inserted in front of several inscriptions.

"Who are you?"

Liao Wang asked.

"Liao Wang, it's been a long time since we last met."

The man turned around, and Liao Wang's pupils suddenly contracted. This man was also white-haired and dying, but between his eyebrows, he could vaguely discern a familiar feeling.

"Young Master?"

"Haha, you are now the current emperor, don't call me Young Master anymore."

The old man laughed, he was the young master of the City Lord's Mansion, the real Yuan Hua.

"I didn't expect that after we parted that day, our lives would become so different.This huge change is nothing but a transformation of identity. I originally thought that you would become my victim, but I didn't expect that you would overcome all difficulties and become the current emperor. Life is really wonderful. "

Liao Wang could see that his son was not like other people, who had awe for his emperor's identity. On the contrary, he treated him equally.

But Liao Wang didn't mind. He never cared about what others thought of him. He just wanted to have the capital to complete what he wanted to do.

"Sir, we haven't seen each other for decades. You and I are old. Have you been doing well these years?"

Liao Wang's throat rolled and his voice was a little choked.

"I'm fine. How about you? Have you lived for yourself these years?"

The old man asked.

"Of course, I have been looking for Su Meir all these years. I do things according to my heart and never act according to other people's ideas, even for several princes."

Liao Wang said.

"That's true. If the emperor really did things according to his heart, he would have found Su Meir long ago. "The old man shook his head and said lightly.

"Your Majesty went to find Su Meir, and he acted all the way by listening to what others said. The old woman in the brothel said that she was sold to the dignitaries in the capital, so Your Majesty went to the capital. The eighth-rank official said that Su Meir was given to the prime minister, so Your Majesty planned to kill him and tried to climb to a high position. "

"The prime minister said that she would be made a military prostitute and drifted to all directions, so Your Majesty killed the king and ascended the throne, summoning the people of the world to find her whereabouts, which has continued to this day. "

"Your Majesty, ask yourself, is this really your heart? Your Majesty has been living in people's words, and has been living under the name of Su Meir. Your Majesty has forcibly changed the trajectory of his life and has never lived for himself. "

"Your Majesty lives for Su Meir and for power. "

The old man said slowly, and his words shocked Le Wang and made him stand there in a daze.

Young Master is right. He has been living under the shadow of others all his life. He thinks he lives for himself, but in fact he is the one who is most constrained.

"Young Master, do you know where Su Meir is?" Le Wang asked.

"Your Majesty has to find it himself. The answer is in what he said just now. If Your Majesty can live for himself, he will be able to find Su Meir immediately. "
