Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 62 Emperor Qi’s last words, Ye Qingmei’s diary!
The old eunuch smiled and said, "Even if I don't come back, Your Majesty is so well connected now, I'm sure he can find me! Since Your Majesty already suspects that I'm not dead, I might as well come out on my own initiative! This will also save Your Majesty a lot of trouble!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "So that's the case! I have to thank you, no need to say too much! What exactly did His Majesty ask you to do?"

The old eunuch asked, "Does the prince know the temple?"

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment.

"Of course I know! Why, what His Majesty asked you to do is related to the temple?"

The old eunuch nodded: "Since the prince left the border and entered Nanqing, this old servant has actually been following the prince!"

Yang Xiu's heart trembled.

He was careless.

The main reason was that he didn't expect anyone to follow him.

So I didn’t take it seriously at all.

If a ninth-grade person hangs far away, it is possible that he will not be discovered by Yang Xiu.

"Go on!"

The old eunuch said, "Your Majesty and Master Ku He are both from the royal family, so Your Majesty knows more about the inside story, and naturally, he also knows about Ye Qingmei! Ye Qingmei walked out of the temple! Your Majesty is very curious about what is in the temple! Originally, I planned to let this old slave go to investigate after the war, but I didn't expect that the prince came to the border! And he happened to be going to Nanqing, so Your Majesty asked this old slave to follow the prince! Let's see what the prince wants to do, and by the way, find out about Ye Qingmei!"

Yang Xiu frowned: "What's the result?"

The old eunuch smiled bitterly and said, "As a result, I lost an arm! After I arrived in Kyoto, I went to Taiping Villa as soon as possible! Then, I met Wuzhu! If I didn't have some means to save my life, what I would have left behind would not be this arm, but my life!"

Yang Xiu said, "I didn't expect you to be so strong that you could escape from Wu Zhu! It seems that I have always underestimated you! You are not just a ninth-rank master! You should be only one step away from being a grandmaster, and you should be no worse than Hong Siyang! When you were dealing with the spy from the Supervisory Council, you were deliberately hiding your abilities!"

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very smart! Nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty! I have followed Your Majesty since I was young, and I think I have some talent! If you give me another ten years, I may be able to break through to become a Grandmaster!"

When the old eunuch said this, his tone was full of confidence.

Yang Xiu waved his hands: "You don't have ten years left, even if I don't kill you! You are now missing an arm, it is no longer complete, plus you are still a eunuch, you have no hope of breaking through to the Grandmaster level!"

The old eunuch sighed: "Yes!"

Yang Xiu said, "Go on! After you were injured by Wu Zhu, what happened next?"

The old eunuch said, "I have been hiding in Kyoto to recover from my injuries since then, and I have witnessed the prince defeat Hong Siyang and that amazing sword!"

The old eunuch looked at Yang Xiu with fear.

When Yang Xiu borrowed that sword, it was really terrifying.

If Ye Liuyun hadn't dodged quickly, that sword could have killed the Grandmaster!
Yang Xiu nodded: "Then you will not be able to survive! Is there anything else to say?"

The old eunuch said, "After Your Majesty rescued Ye Qingmei, I went to Taiping Courtyard again! Your Majesty, don't you want to know what secrets Taiping Courtyard has?"

After the old eunuch finished speaking, Yang Xiu became interested.

To be honest, this old eunuch really whetted his appetite.

Yang Xiu said, "Are you willing to tell me?"

The old eunuch nodded: "Of course I am willing! This is also what your majesty wants!"

Yang Xiu frowned: "What does your majesty mean?"

The old eunuch nodded: "That's right! Your Majesty guessed that Ye Qingmei must have many secrets. Before I left, Your Majesty left a will! If this old servant finds out anything, I will tell the prince!"

Yang Xiu was somewhat confused about what the Emperor of Qi was thinking.

Why did the Emperor of Qi go through all this trouble?

But the opportunity to solve the problem has come to my doorstep.

Yang Xiu naturally would not give up.

The old eunuch continued, "After Wuzhu slaughtered some of the men in black in Taiping Villa, he left with Ye Qingmei's son! Then, I took advantage of the chaos to enter Taiping Villa because Chen Pingping had returned! I didn't dare to stay in Taiping Villa for long, I just searched it briefly! I found something!"

As he spoke, the old eunuch took out a notebook from his pocket. This notebook did not belong to this era.

It was obviously what Ye Qingmei brought out from the temple.

Just like notebooks in later generations.

The old eunuch picked up the notebook with one hand and handed it to Yang Xiu.

"Your Majesty! Today, I will hand this item over to you! This is considered as fulfilling your Majesty's request! I have no regrets!"

Yang Xiu took the notebook.

There was no rush to open it.

"You can't survive this, you know!"

The old eunuch nodded: "I know! I just hope that the prince can give me a quick death!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Okay! I'll give you a quick death. Do you have any last wishes?"

The old eunuch shook his head: "I am alone, there is nothing I can't let go of!"

Yang Xiu stood up.

Ren Ruyi walked towards the old eunuch.

The long sword in his hand has been unsheathed.

Yang Xiu walked to the door of the house and stopped.

"One last question, Your Majesty, is he really dead?"

The old eunuch shook his head: "I don't know! When His Majesty died in battle, I was not with His Majesty! His Majesty asked me to protect the Prince of Zhennan and the Princess of Zhennan, but the Prince took action at that time, so I did not come out!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Have a nice journey!"

Then Yang Xiu opened the door.

Walked out directly.

When stepping out of the door, Yang Xiu glanced into the room.

A flash of silver light flashed by, followed by a flash of red.

Yang Xiu stood in the courtyard and casually opened the notebook in his hand.

This notebook is like a diary.

Recorded some trivial things.

Yang Xiu flipped through the pages one by one.

When it's halfway through.

Yang Xiu stopped.

Look at the words in the diary.

"Feudal society is really outrageous! These powerful people regard human life as worthless! Natives who have not received nine years of compulsory education are really just like uncivilized savages! This world is wrong, I have to change it!"

Yang Xiu turned the page.

"He has ascended the throne, just as I thought, but he doesn't seem to be planning to follow our previous agreement! I seem to have made a mistake, he himself seems to be a member of the powerful! He is untrustworthy. If I want to change, I have to rely on myself!"

Yang Xiu knew that this "he" was referring to Emperor Qing.

Judging from the records in this diary, it seems that Ye Qingmei had some kind of deal with Emperor Qing?
Or did the two of them reach some agreement?
Is this a condition for helping Emperor Qing ascend the throne?
Is it related to Ye Qingmei's plan? To change feudal society?

Or is there some other agreement between the two people?
