Li Chang'an walked around to Chen Pingping's back and pushed his wheelchair from behind, ensuring that the two armrests were precisely facing Emperor Qing.
Li Chang'an felt he was very kind, helping Chen Pingping direct his firepower towards his enemy.
Then he lowered his head and whispered in Chen Pingping's ear, "Actually, that's not how it is."
"Both Ye Qingmei and I are Heavenly Vein users. In the world we came from, eunuchs had completely disappeared."
"When Ye Qingmei first met you, she said, 'Are you really a eunuch? Shouldn't we address each other as sisters?'"
"It's like when you see a small animal that you've heard of but never seen before; your mindset is curiosity, not treating it as an equal."
"Think back carefully to her tone and expression at the time; she was just treating you like a novel pet..."
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Chen Pingping instantly broke down!
"No! No! Impossible!"
"Xiao Yezi treats people with sincerity and regards me as a friend, not a servant!"
It's not necessarily true that Chen Pingping deeply admired Ye Qingmei's ideals.
His gratitude towards Ye Qingmei stemmed from the fact that Ye Qingmei treated him as an equal friend.
It's possible that Ye Qingmei later considered Chen Pingping a friend, but Li Chang'an's hurtful remarks were something Chen Pingping couldn't bear.
Ye Qingmei's equal treatment of him was the driving force that sustained his twisted desire for revenge over the years!
Li Chang'an said this on purpose, to extinguish the light in Chen Pingping's heart.
At this moment, Fan Jian and his son clenched their fists, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.
Fan Jian was naturally unconvinced by Li Chang'an's words about Ye Qingmei.
Although Fan Xian was still unaware of the whole truth, he was also extremely angry!
However, none of them dared to speak.
Because it was Emperor Qing who killed Ye Qingmei.
Moreover, Chen Pingping, in his quest for revenge, went so far as to persecute members of the royal family and assassinate the emperor.
The fact that the father and son are speaking up now is to speak on behalf of Chen Pingping.
Even if they are willing to go all out, what will happen to that family? This is a heinous crime that will bring disaster to the entire family!
Chen Pingping deliberately called Fan Xian a bastard in order to completely sever himself from the Fan family.
Li Chang'an gave Fan Xian a cold glance, while Fan Xian simply lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
As two people with memories of the same era, Li Chang'an and Fan Xian have fundamentally different values, which is why their relationship has never been able to grow closer.
Li Chang'an believes that equality for all is just an ideal, and the law of the jungle is the norm.
Even in their previous life, when ordinary people lived relatively well, it was impossible for all people to be born equal.
All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome, while most are born to be beasts of burden.
Even if you work like a beast of burden and strive your whole life, the goal you achieve is still just someone else's starting point.
Of course, people's basic dignity was improved in that era, and the law of the jungle would not easily devour your life.
However, those who stand at the top of wealth and power will use various legal means to devour and exploit the labor and personal dignity of the weak.
Even the hardworking oxen and horses should be grateful for the blessing of being exploited.
Even more clever and obedient oxen and horses cling tightly to the legs of the strong, singing praises and saying that their wealth and status are due to the hard work of their ancestors, and that the world is fair!
How brilliant! How fair!
If it were truly fair, why would anyone still read those trashy novels about time travel, superpowers, enjoying feudal superiority, and building harems?
"Throughout my life, I have cherished that woman the most."
Emperor Qing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
He remained silent because he was stunned by Li Chang'an's words.
His relationship with Ye Qingmei was mixed with self-interest and was not pure.
Without Ye Qingmei, he would have been nothing more than the idle heir of a prince's family, and would never have achieved his current status.
Ye Qingmei helped him ascend the throne, so he was no longer just Ye Qingmei's friend and lover, but the most steadfast supporter of imperial power.
Li Chang'an could freely criticize and belittle Ye Qingmei, but Emperor Qing could not, because Ye Qingmei was his benefactor.
He killed Ye Qingmei, and was burdened with a moral shackle that he could never escape.
Completely deranged, Chen Pingping stared coldly at Emperor Qing, "You! Are not worthy!"
Emperor Qing stood up and slowly walked to Chen Pingping.
"She gave me ambition, she gave me resources and troops, she gave me a vast empire!"
"But I killed her!"
Chen Pingping grinned maliciously and said, "Yes, my Majesty!"
"You've crossed the river and burned the bridge, you're ungrateful, you're despicable and shameless, you're hypocritical and insidious!"
Emperor Qing met Chen Pingping's gaze; the two partners of decades were locked in a stalemate.
"I'll kill her..."
"Chen Pingping, I will kill her."
"But so what!"
Chen Pingping narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent flashing in them, and pulled the lever mechanism with both hands.
"Then I will avenge her!"
A deafening roar erupted in the main hall!
Two powerful jets of air, mixed with gunpowder, iron shot, and steel balls, slammed into Emperor Qing's body!
Everyone in the Imperial Study thought of the Heavenly Lightning that had killed the two old princes!
He thought of the divine weapon that had severely injured Ye Liuyun!
A powerful gust of air pressure rushed towards everyone's faces.
In that instant, Emperor Qing almost revealed his Grandmaster-level movement techniques and true energy.
However, he did not do so.
Because all the iron filings and steel balls were invisibly fixed in the air.
Those in the Imperial Study saw Chen Pingping enveloped by an invisible ball of true energy.
Those fierce shockwaves were solidified and enveloped by thick true energy, and did not shoot out.
The powerful Northern Darkness True Qi, like a vast ocean, diluted the dispersed ballistic power of the homemade shotgun.
Emperor Qing stared in disbelief at the scene before him, at Li Chang'an who was controlling the true energy shield with one hand.
"Grandmaster! Grandmaster!"
Emperor Qing looked shocked, took several steps back, and staggered to his feet.
A mocking smile flickered across Li Chang'an's lips.
The older generation of performing artists were incredibly quick-witted; they had already started performing.
Li Chang'an knew that the moment Emperor Qing saw him reveal his Grandmaster cultivation level, he had already thought of many things, which was why he chose to continue pretending.
Li Chang'an was very happy. "You're willing to play the sixth brother? That's great!"
I love bullying the sixth prince the most.
Li Chang'an disliked Ye Qingmei, but he would never allow himself to be manipulated by Emperor Qing.
Qin Ye sat on the table in terror, his face ashen, and he remained silent.
He knew he had made a grave mistake and offended the Grandmaster!
From the moment Li Chang'an spoke about Ye Qingmei, he knew he was wrong!
Because when Ye Qingmei was killed, the Qin family was Emperor Qing's weapon!
The last person the Qin family should have offended was Li Chang'an, who disliked Ye Qingmei!
Lin Ruofu was shocked and began to ponder: Could it be that Li Chang'an was the Grandmaster who protected the Lin family two years ago?
Fan Xian's expression was complicated, and he was filled with mixed feelings. Li Chang'an was the Grandmaster who fought against Wu Zhu!
Now, this grandmaster is clearly going to stand on the opposite side!
The other ministers stared in horror at Li Chang'an and Chen Pingping. The sudden appearance of firearms was shocking, but the new Grandmaster was even more astonishing!
Chen Pingping watched as the steel balls and iron filings clattered to the ground, instantly turning into a walking corpse.
He knew he was going to die; now it was just a matter of how he was going to die.
Upon seeing Li Chang'an's Grandmaster cultivation level, Chen Pingping suddenly felt a pang of regret.
If he hadn't offended Li Chang'an and had only sought revenge against Emperor Qing, perhaps he would have succeeded...
"Your Majesty, what do you intend to do with this old servant?"
