For dinner, I ate lo mein, and I ate two large bowls, and my stomach was full, and I could smell of fried sauce when I hiccuped.

Today's meal was very quiet, without Yang Xiaoyao's usual chattering voice, it seemed that the whole world was different. Wu Shengnan and Shen Mu didn't mention what happened before, and they both rested early after eating.

The stars are shining outside the window, and the lights of the city are still bright and green in the distance. Shen Mu leaned on the head of the bed and looked up at the starry sky, remembering that his first night in this world seemed to be such a starry sky!

He seriously recalled and reflected on today's events, and he realized that he seemed to be wrong.

During this time, he always thought that he had integrated into this world and that he had become Wu Hao. But in reality, he never integrated into the world. Since the beginning of the crossing, he has been facing the world with a game mentality, and facing everyone with a high-minded mentality.

Because he is a traverser, because he has a skill tree like a golden finger, he has a spiritual power that is twice as strong as ordinary people, and he has countless knowledge from another world. There are countless novels and film and television dramas that tell him that the traverser will eventually become the strongest person in the world.

He himself also believes in this, so it is inevitable that he will be a little self-aggrandizing in his mentality. That's why he would stand up and scold Sun Zhengjun when everyone was silent, so he would treat the royal family like a mustard and say things like 'destroy the emperor', so he would still face Lan Xingyu tough in an obviously unfavorable situation.

To be honest, he really should be grateful to Lan Xingyu. If it hadn't been for that kick in his face, he wouldn't have come to his senses so quickly.

That's right, he has a huge innate advantage, which can make him easily grow into the strongest in this world. But that's later, not now.

Before becoming a strong man, you must learn to respect the strong first. The good keeper hides under the nine lands, and as long as he keeps himself alive, he will have a chance to grow up in the end. This is a bloody lesson!

Maybe the most correct way to deal with it today is to take the money with the snake first, and fool Lan Xingyu first. Hide yourself, slowly accumulate strength, and wait for the day when you will settle this account with them.

But in this way, I'm afraid it's not himself! It seems that the dick is still the dick after all, the heart is still not black enough, and the bone on the back still can't bend!

But even if you are wrong, the humiliation of being trampled on your face will not be just settled. Sooner or later, he will definitely return it. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. It's only been ten years, and he can afford to wait.

It was already late at night, and Shen Mu gradually felt a little sleepy. Lying back on the bed, I closed my eyes, and from the opposite side of the curtain came a low sob.

Shen Mu raised his body, glanced deeply through the curtain, and sighed secretly. It seems that this girl is far from being as strong as she appears.

In fact, think about it, in this matter, it was the biggest blow to her. Yang Xiaoyao can be said to have been brought up by her, both as a sister and as a mother, this kind of feeling cannot be replaced by anything.

In the past few days when Yang Xiaoyao was forcibly picked up, although she always remained calm on the surface, no one could understand the torment in her heart. suddenly got the news of Yang Xiaoyao on TV, which made her nervous worry let go, but the attitude of the royal family and the identity of the princess of Allure were like a basin of ice water, which poured on her heart without scruples.

And Lan Xingyu's appearance was undoubtedly the last straw that pressed on her heart. Lan Xingyu's attitude has already shown that it is impossible for Yang Xiaoyao to return to this home, and even wanting to see her again has become a luxury.

In the final analysis, it is the gap in identity and strength that has caused the current situation.

The legal system of the Longhua Empire was very sound, and the power of the imperial family was also greatly restricted in the reforms of hundreds of years ago, and the judicial power and the executive power were separated. Therefore, it is no longer possible for any powerful person to oppress civilians at will like in the Dark Ages, let alone kill people at will. If the judicial authorities find evidence, even the emperor himself will dare to send it to court.

But even so, the essence of respecting the strong in this world has never changed. Power, like wealth and power on earth, is a manifestation of one's social status. Just like today's events, if Yang Xiaoyao was a child of a big family, it would be impossible for the royal family to do such a thing. Or if one of him and Wu Shengnan was an eighth-order professional, the royal family would not dare to do such a thing.

Strength, power!

Shen Mu used to hope that the power was more out of novelty, but now he is even more eager for power because in this world, only strength can protect the people he wants to protect.

Maybe it's really time to do something. What's more, if they don't do something, they still think they are easy to bully!

Thinking of this, Shen Mu didn't feel sleepy anymore. Quietly turned over and got up, found a pen and paper, and wrote densely on the windowsill by the moonlight.

......

Imperial capital star, capital, imperial palace.

Although it was late at night, the two most honorable masters in the palace were still in joy, and they could not calm down for a long time.

Li Zhengxing drank the stomach-nourishing white porridge one by one, and the smile on his face never stopped all day.

This is really the blessing of the ancestors! A twelve-year-old gifted awakened person suddenly appeared without warning. And even better, she was still an orphan.

The growth potential of a gifted person is terrifying, and it has been proven that a gifted person who grows up can definitely become a pillar of the country. But the sad thing is that as the imperial family in history, there has only been one awakened person, that is, the founding emperor of the Longhua Empire.

It was also at that time that after realizing the power of the Awakened, the Longhua Empire has tried its best to win over every Awakened since its founding. But no matter how you win it over, outsiders are always outsiders, how can they represent the interests of the royal family if they are not in one place!

Today's royal family has much less control over the empire than it once was. It was forced to surrender judicial and executive power as early as a millennium. As Li Haifeng took over as marshal, he continued to preside over the reform of the army, established the military department, and gradually stripped the military power from the royal family. Although the royal family still has a majority of voting rights in the military aircraft department, the impact is not as good as before.

In this world, military power is greater than everything, and it is difficult for the royal family to protect its rights without the deterrence of the army. However, now more people and powerful people think that the current royal family should be more of a kind of mascot, just stand there and pose, whether it is the administration, the judiciary, or the army, there is no need for the royal family to intervene.

In the face of this wave of reforms, the royal family, of course, will not stand still, they have tried everything to increase the influence of the royal family in the army, but the effect is not very good. The reason is that Lin Haifeng is too bright, his reputation among the people and the powerful is too high, and there is no one in the royal family who can fight against him for a while. Emperor Ye Xuan's prestige is enough, but firstly, the emperor is weak and does not like to compete for fame and fortune, and secondly, the emperor's body has been deteriorating recently, and I am afraid that time is running out.

At this time, the royal family really needs a strong voice to represent themselves. Therefore, the appearance of Yang Xiaoyao made the royal family see great hope. Yang Xiaoyao is an orphan, that is to say, she has no ties from her parents and family, and she is so young, if she can be trapped, the status of the royal family will be unbreakable in the next hundred years.

This matter is very operable, and Li Zhengxing has already met the girl. Very well-behaved and sensible, the royal family deserves to invest a lot of resources in her, and he is confident that he can envelop this girl. What could touch the hearts of orphans more than family affection?

The only minor trouble now is her adoptive sister and adoptive brother. For an emperor, Yang Xiaoyao has one more relative, and there is more risk of being controlled and influenced, which is of course what he does not want to see.

"Is Xingyu back?" Li Zhengxing put down the small white jade bowl in his hand, and the smile on his face was put away.

"Not yet. Your Majesty don't worry, Xingyu's kid has always been calm, and it should be no problem to deal with this little thing. Queen Lin Yuwei handed over a glass of warm water, paused in her tone, and said in a low voice: "Those two people...... Wouldn't there be any danger in leaving them behind?"

"Hmm...... Let's wait and see the situation! Although this problem is not big, if it is not handled well, it may make Meng Yao have some bad thoughts. We must now take into account her feelings. In fact, Li Zhengxing didn't want to completely dispose of Wu Shengnan and Shen Mu, and let them disappear forever is the best result. But he really didn't dare, just like Shen Mu analyzed. Once this news leaks out in the future, Yang Xiaoyao knows about it, and no one knows what the consequences will be.

As emperor, he could not have taken such an extremely passive approach. On the contrary, he felt that as long as he controlled Wu Shengnan's sister and brother and didn't let them meet. The relationship between people mainly depends on communication, and the feelings are weakened by three points if they don't see each other for a day. Even if there is the grace of nurturing, after not seeing each other for more than ten years, how much is left of this relationship?

On the contrary, she is maintaining a relationship with Yang Xiaoyao every day, and after more than ten years, the influence of the royal family should be deeply rooted in her. At that time, even if they let their brother and sister meet, under that huge difference in status, they will no longer be as close as before. At that time, at most, it would be good to give the brother and sister a little rich life.

Lin Yuwei also agreed to this plan at first, but now she feels that this plan is a little unstable. Today, she chatted with Yang Xiaoyao for most of the day. Yang Xiaoyao told her a lot about her previous life, and it could be heard from her words that she was very dependent on her adoptive sister and adoptive brother. At the end of the day, she pestered herself fourteen times and asked when she would be able to take her eldest sister and second brother over?

Can such feelings really be forgotten?

Perhaps, time can always test something and change something.
