“Regardless of life or death, everything has been destined. I will not interrupt with the course of life,” said Di Fuyi in a serious tone.
“Are you saying that you are going to watch as Rong Che murders the Emperor?”
Di Fuyi placed his arm on her shoulder and offered her some advice, “As metaphysic practitioners, we should not get ourselves involved in events related to the change of regime and imperial power. We should learn how to look on and do nothing, even in cases where the lives of others are being harmed in the process. Anyway, the Emperor will not make live longer than ten days. If he is destined to die in his son’s hand, nothing we do will be able to change his fate.”
Gu Xijiu pulled his hand away, “You should not be so touchy all the time. If it becomes a habit, you will be exposed immediately in the eyes of someone with bad intentions. If it ever comes to that extent, I will not be able to straighten out the contradictions for you even if I wanted to.”
“Don’t worry. I will try to control myself when we are outside. There is no one here at the moment,” said Di Fuyi smilingly.
“What if Long Siye or anyone else comes in and sees us?”
“Don’t worry. I have made the necessary arrangements to ensure that no one will ever see or hear us. Come, let us continue to watch the drama.” Di Fuyi straightened her face to face the screen. He then handed her a handful of melon seeds to snack on.
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She fixated her attention on the jade tablet, “Do you often use this to watch dramas?”
“Sometimes.” Most of the time, he would be involved in the matter personally. Other times, the tablet would serve as a control approach for his followers.
The jade tablet was comparable to the most advanced surveillance camera. It could capture the entire scene in the hall clearly and thoroughly without a single-blind angle vision. She had no idea how it worked.
“How many jade tablets do you have? Have you set up one in every one of the Emperors’ bedrooms from the different kingdoms?” Gu Xijiu stared at him questioningly in slight disbelief.
The Emperor often slept with his concubines in his bedroom, and therefore there would often be live and erotic acts happening in the room.
Di Fuyi threw a glance at her. He then rubbed her head and said, “What an impure thought! Do I look like someone with nothing to do? I will only use it on special occasions. The one that is currently displaying the Emperor had just been placed yesterday night.”
He raised his arms quickly and rubbed her head with ease. Gu Xijiu stopped his moving hands and looked at him with a faint smile, “Tell me, have you ever placed such a surveillance jade tablet on me?” He seemed like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
Di Fuyi hesitated. With a cough, he said, “You are overthinking. All right, let us watch the drama! Look! Rong Che has started to make his move.”
Just as what Di Fuyi had expected, Rong Che had awakened the Emperor while they were busy engaging in their chatter. He was trying to convince the Emperor to prepare a testament.
The Emperor was a man with many concubines and children. Except for the brilliant ones – Rong Che, Rong Jialuo and Rong Chu, he still had another five sons. Although they had no intention of inheriting the throne, their strengths should never be underestimated, especially the seventh son whose name was Rong Huan. Though he was not as well known as Rong Che, he was more elderly. According to the order of seniority in their family, Rong Huan would be the next in line to take over the throne after the deaths of Rong Jialuo and Rong Chu. Therefore, it would be a more logical approach for Rong Jialuo if the Emperor were to prepare a testament to appoint him as successor to the throne.
The Emperor was severely stricken with overwhelming sorrow, so much that he had fallen into a trance. The pen was shaky under his trembling hand. It was a struggle for him even to write a word.
“Has Rong Che resorted to violence and treachery towards the Emperor?” Gu Xijiu could not hold back her question from Di Fuyi.
Di Fuyi gave her a hint, “Come and take a look at the temples of the Emperor. Do you see any difference?”
