We are from the future ark

"Today, you will not have any food to eat. Each of you will be beaten with thirty sticks. After that, move to my bedroom. I will punish you by making you kneel down!"

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty!" X3

Finally, Chen Qi and the other two spoke slowly, while on the other side, Lin Dong and Zao Lu still seemed to be at odds with each other, staring at each other.

And this scene was slowly seen by everyone present. Many servants looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this scene. They all had their own thoughts, and strange ideas arose in their minds at this moment.

……

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

At this moment, in a place of the noble party, several elderly people who looked quite old could not help but be a little surprised after hearing the news from the servants. Then after looking at each other, they could not help but start discussing.

"The Second Princess favors the two of them so much that she even exempted them from the Emperor's punishment... It seems like this is quite interesting."

"Moreover, a fallen noble?... Interesting. Come to think of it, I seem to have some impression of this girl. This last name does sound familiar."

"It just so happens that our faction is full of old people, and it's rare to have fresh blood. If we can win over the Second Princess's people and try to get her to support us, then by then, those guys in the reformist faction will definitely be a step weaker."

...On the other side, the reformists saw almost the same scene.

"We have also investigated the girl named Sonya. She has a clean background and she escaped from Chernobyl. She must be very unhappy with the nobles' style."

"This is a good opportunity. If we can win over the people around the Second Princess, then we can further win over the Second Princess. As long as the Second Princess supports us, we will have more bargaining chips in our hands and can truly promote His Majesty's new policies!"

"As for the other one...I guess he can't be won over either. Just do your best."

At this moment, after hearing the news, both sides had a lot of ideas about Zaolu and Lindong. They both wanted to win over the other party to join their own party, not because they saw the potential of the two girls, but simply because the two girls were the closest to the second princess so far.

The second princess Anna is the emperor's favorite princess. She has been very intelligent since childhood and the emperor admires her highly. Although it is impossible for the princess to inherit the throne, it will naturally be beneficial for their subsequent struggle to win over the princess who is still in the palace.

After all, the princess's opinion might be able to convince the emperor.

For a moment, both sides took action, and at this moment, when they were fighting each other for their own parties, they did not realize that both themselves and the other side were lost in the fight at this moment.

They thought they were the chess players controlling the game, but now, they didn't realize that they were getting deeper and deeper into the trap of being chess pieces...

Chapter 180: Chen Qi: Why do Ursus people always want to get me drunk?

It was said that at that time both the Reform Party and the Aristocratic Party wanted to win over the people around the Second Princess. At this moment, Lin Dong, Zao Lu and Chen Qi had already finished the caning, and they had no time to send anyone to stop anything.

So, they all thought of the same method and found a few skillful maids under their command to deliver healing medicine to Zaolu and Lindong.

However, they were soon notified that the three were locked up in His Majesty's bedroom and were punished to kneel before His Majesty for a day.

For a time, both the reformists and the aristocrats were in an awkward situation and could only wait until the day was over to offer timely assistance and win over the hearts of the people.

This situation continued until late at night. The emperor sent away all the guards and maids around him and ordered them to guard the outer perimeter of the bedroom and not enter without permission.

But at this moment, in the emperor's bedroom, a completely different scene was happening...

"Hmm... the hot pot made by the chef today is very good. The soup is rich and the mutton is also cut very well. It's worth a reward."

All I saw was the emperor sitting on the throne, smiling as he enjoyed the steaming hot pot in front of him, which was similar to the one in the north of Yan State. He would say something from time to time, pick up a piece of mutton with his knife and fork, and put it into the boiling hot pot to dip it in.

On the other side, Chen Qi and the other two were naturally not kneeling at this moment, but were watching the emperor enjoying the hot pot without saying a word.

"Ha." The emperor looked at the three people who were staring at him eagerly, and smiled unconsciously in his heart, and then he also smiled:

"I've been hungry all day. I see you guys have put a lot of effort into your acting this time, so I'll reward you."

"Easy, sit down and eat."

"I'm just waiting for your words."

However, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, Winter immediately ran over first. Because the meal was originally for the emperor alone, no other stools or knives and forks were prepared. She grabbed a piece of mutton without hesitation and ate it while it was hot.

"How rude! What family raised a girl like you?!"

"My parents taught me! Is there a problem?" Lin Dong did not look happy when he heard that. Even if the person in front of him was the emperor, this man was born with a rebellious nature.

"I'm sorry. My family has been working class for three generations. They managed to send me to school. I'm really sorry for failing etiquette class, aren't I?"

"You..." The emperor's face turned blue after being scolded by Winter. He couldn't recover for a long time. Finally, he said sullenly, "You are not afraid of death. You really are a reformist."

"...Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth?" However, upon hearing this, Lin Dong suddenly became serious and said to the emperor word by word:

"Don't even mention the aristocrats. I also look down on the reformists in this palace. Everything is just an act. I wasn't really acting like myself just now."

"It's just that, in comparison, I find the reformists a little more pleasing to the eye than the aristocrats. This doesn't mean I agree with everything they say."

Having had some contact with the reformists and the aristocrats before, Lin Dong had a relative understanding of the policies and promotional things of both sides. However, to be fair, Lin Dong looked down on both the aristocrats and the reformists.

The aristocratic faction wanted to go so far as to want to use the aristocracy to rule the key parts of the country, while the reformists were relatively better, but most of the reformists were based on supporting the royal family and suppressing the influence of the aristocracy.

But Lin Dong didn’t think so. She had bigger ideas that were slowly brewing.

"But you guys have acted well enough, haven't you?"

The emperor smiled slightly when he heard this. He didn't seem to think much about it, or perhaps he was too lazy to look at Lin Dong's seemingly rude appearance. He glanced at Chen Qi and Zao Lu who also came over, and his eyes finally locked on Chen Qi.

"Everything... is just as you expected. Boy, I feel more and more that you are a genius."

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, Your Majesty." Chen Qi smiled upon hearing this, and said to the emperor in a nonchalant manner, "To be praised by Your Majesty, I think I can brag about it in my lifetime."

"...Aren't you afraid that I will kill you after you've done your job?" The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at the flawless young man in front of him. At this moment, he wanted to kill him for the second time.

It was nothing, this young man… really saw the situation too clearly. In just two days, he had already stirred up the conflict between the aristocracy and the reformists, and the two girls also took advantage of the situation to oppose him. If everything turned out as he expected, the two girls would gradually join their respective factions and fade out of sight. The palace would be as if nothing had happened, and everything would be calm.

Such political sense is really too sensitive, so sensitive that even the emperor feels that if this young man is not eliminated, he will become a great threat to Ursus in the future.

He knew too much, including the inner workings and conflicts of the palace and Ursus... In just two days, he had seen through about 60% to 70% of it.

As for the remaining 30%...not to mention him, even he, the emperor who has been on the throne for seven years, has some concerns.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the bedroom became a little heavy, but unlike Lin Dong and Zao Lu who looked slightly serious, Chen Qi did not seem to be that nervous.

"...If you need to tell the person involved in advance before you commit a crime, then I can only say that you have made every possible effort."

Chen Qi smiled slightly upon hearing this, looked directly at the emperor's slightly raised brows, and said with a faint smile: "People like us who give advice are, in a sense, very similar to you."

“Before we think about doing something, our actions have already done it.”

“…Humph. Hahahaha.”

However, when Chen Qi said this, the emperor was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but chuckle. The handsome middle-aged man finally laughed for a while, and then said to Chen Qi:

"What a pity! If I had a son like you, Ursus would be worry-free for a hundred years."

"If Your Majesty doesn't mind, I would like to take over the Ursus Empire?"

"How dare you." Upon hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but look serious, as if he had been touched by something. He said to Chen Qi with a cold face, "Why are you so outspoken? If this gets out, wouldn't I be destroying the image of the royal family?"

"For the crime of speaking carelessly, I will punish you with a drink."

However, the next moment, the conversation suddenly changed, and the emperor took out a large bottle of wine from somewhere that looked very precious. The liquid in the bottle was extremely crystal clear, as pure as running water.

"Vodka!" Lin Dong took a look, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Zaolu on the side couldn't help but take a few more glances, but she restrained herself very well. She pulled Lindong on the side and forced Lindong to come back to his senses.

"I don't have any cups here. Take this bottle. I have another one."

"Uh... Your Majesty, I can't drink much." Chen Qi looked at the vodka in front of him, but couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

It would be fine if it was in the past, but the person in front of him now is the emperor of Ursus, a native Ursus. Chen Qi's drinking capacity is basically enough to sweep away other people, but when it comes to serious Ursus... he really has no confidence.

The scene of being defeated by General Dong is still vivid in Chen Qi's mind. He really doesn't dare to say that his alcohol tolerance is better than that of the Ursus people.

What's more, the emperor obviously had bad intentions. Was he planning to get him drunk and then trick him into telling stories?

"How dare you not accept the punishment from me?" However, the emperor was obviously not so easy to fool. His eyes narrowed, leaving Chen Qi speechless and he had to accept the punishment obediently.

"Um... Your Majesty, how about we take his place?" Zao Lu on the side finally couldn't help but speak. They didn't know how much Chen Qi could drink, but they knew very well the drinking capacity of the Ursus people.

This would definitely be disadvantageous to Chen Qi, so they had to step out and ease the situation.

"I will punish him, you little girls just have to eat the meat."

However, the emperor glanced coldly at him when he heard this. Even if he only released a little bit of his aura, it would have made Lin Donglu shut up. Obviously, everyone present knew that this emperor was not a good person and they had to follow his wishes.

The imperial power is inviolable. The emperor of Ursus is considered to be very easy to talk to.

Of course, this also has a prerequisite, after all, the emperor now needs them.

In fact, the emperor's thoughts were exactly as Chen Qi guessed. As the emperor of Ursus, he was naturally confident in his drinking capacity. As an Ursus who grew up with a bottle of wine in his mouth, he had followed his father and mother to various banquets since he was a child. Drinking was a skill he had acquired since he was a child.

Moreover, there are many celebrations in Ursus. The emperor has to drink when he gets married, his ministers have to drink when they get married, his concubines have to drink when they give birth to children, and they have to drink when they give birth to sons. With so many ministers in Ursus, it is really impossible to drink all the time.

If he didn't have a good alcohol tolerance, how could he have attended so many banquets? These are all natural skills, nothing to say.

However, the young man in front of him was obviously not from Ursus. He looked a bit like Yan country, but obviously he did not have the appearance of the northern part of Yan country. He had delicate features and spoke in a soft voice. Obviously, he was from the southern part of Yan country.

Then there is no need to be afraid. When it comes to drinking, can the Ursus people drink more than this small body? It is quite stable.

Once I get this guy drunk and he loses his judgment, even if he keeps his mouth shut, he may be able to find out some secrets.

What's the point of being calm? The old people in Ursus say, "Wine is the conciliator between men." With such strong wine, no matter how well-behaved you are, you will definitely say anything if you drink too much.

"Come on, I'll drink first, you can do whatever you want."

"Then..." Chen Qi seemed unable to refuse, and after a moment of hesitation, he had to accept it.

"Well... I'm sorry."

Chapter 181: The conversation between Lin Dong and Zao Lu, the collision of their thoughts

At night, lights were slowly turned off in many places in the palace. All lights began to illuminate in order to dispel the darkness, and the palace became quiet again.

At this moment, the emperor's bedroom, which was the most heavily guarded in the entire palace, had no idea of ​​the chaos inside the bedroom.

“Hahahaha… Drink more, and fill my glass again.”

At this moment, the two people in the bedroom were already drunk. An Emperor of Ursus and a fake lord who attempted to assassinate the Grand Marshal for unknown purposes. At this moment, the two of them were arm in arm, with red faces, staggering and walking in the bedroom.

"I, I tell you... I am the most outstanding one in the Ursus royal family in the past three hundred years, hiccups, three hundred years."

The drunk emperor was supported by Chen Qi at this moment. His face was red with wine, but he didn't have the strength to speak loudly. He just kept saying to Chen Qi:

"Chen, Xiao Chen, I'm not bragging, but my ancestors, hiccups, were not as good as I am now."

"I believe, I believe, hiccup, Brother Nicholas, I believe you..."

...Things seemed to be getting a little out of control, and Zaolu and Lindong on the other side were also in a state of panic. They really wanted to stop Chen Qi and the emperor who had already lost control. They felt that if they did not take action, these two people would go from being brothers to being friends for life and death.

Lin Dong and Zao Lu had just witnessed that the two drunken men were getting more and more drunk, and the emperor was unwilling to give in. At first, Chen Qi could still resist, but after drinking the wine that even Lin Dong and Zao Lu, two Ursus people, would be frightened by, Chen Qi found it increasingly difficult to resist. In the end, he even began to take the bottle on his own initiative.

The two were relatively sober at the beginning, but as they drank more and more, they started to get more and more violent and outspoken, and then it turned into what it is now...

Chen Qi had already exposed his name, and the emperor had also allowed Chen Qi to call him by his name. Of course, "Nikola" was not the emperor's name, but just a surname.

But in the eyes of the Ursus people, surnames are in some sense more solemn than given names, especially for royal family members like them. They all attach great importance to their surnames, which represent the honor and weight of a family and are also the pride of their lives.

For a royal family member, letting you call him by your last name is not only a sign of closeness to you, but more importantly, it is a form of recognition.

This recognition can have many meanings, including recognition of your identity, recognition of your talent, character, the power behind you... and so on.

However, as the emperor of Ursus, few people dared to call him that.

Even when they were drunk, this was true. For many ministers, their awe of the emperor was almost ingrained in their bones. Since the founding of Ursus, countless people had died from drunken rants. Therefore, even when many ministers were drunk, they still retained the last bit of clarity in their subconscious - don't talk nonsense.

Over time, no one would be willing to get drunk in front of the emperor. Even if they really had to get drunk, no one would really say nonsense after drinking. With past experience as a lesson, people would rarely make such low-level mistakes.

As an emperor, Nicholas could not allow himself to lose his composure. He was not likely to get drunk, nor did he allow himself to be drunk.

"Chen, Xiao Chen, why don't you follow me?"

Nicholas pulled Chen Qi, and the two seemed to want to go out, but how could Lindong and Zaolu let them go outside? They quickly grabbed their sleeves to stop them from moving forward.

This really worked. The two men, who were already extremely drunk, could not even walk steadily. After being grabbed by the two men, one in front and one behind, they immediately fell to the ground and did not get up for a long time.

"Xiao Chen...if you, if you follow me...who in front of Ursus can be our opponent..."

"Impossible... Nikolai..."

The murmurs of the two people collapsed on the ground were still heard slowly, and on the other side, Lin Dong and Zao Lu looked at each other, and both read helplessness in each other's eyes.

"...What happened today really opened my eyes." Zao Lu couldn't help but speak. She would never have thought in her life that an assassin leader would get drunk with the emperor of an empire in the emperor's bedroom and even sleep on the floor together.

Things like this... If you didn't see it with your own eyes and told others about it, people would either think you were a madman or a fool.

"I suddenly feel that our leader isn't that cold after all."

However, Lin Dong had a completely different opinion from Zao Lu. She looked at Chen Qi and Nicholas who were lying on the ground drunk, and couldn't help but smile and said.
