You Guessed Well, Don't Guess Next Time

As she spoke, Yan Shuzhu's eyes were shining.

It seemed she thought she had guessed the truth.

"You did it on purpose, right? You didn't want to overshadow your brother, you wanted him to succeed, so you deliberately ruined yourself like this, right!"

"..."

You guessed well, but don't guess next time!

Sorry, the former Ye Liuyun really was that useless.

Si Nan, who was standing nearby, also seemed to believe this answer, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ye Liuyun became one of admiration.

To give his brother a bright future, he actually deliberately ruined his own life.

Truly admirable!

"Cough cough! Let's just say it's like that!"

It's not like he could explain every single detail. Since she liked to overthink it this way, let her continue to overthink it.

"I knew it!"

Yan Shuzhu smiled happily.

As for how the original Ye Liufeng died, Yan Shuzhu guessed that he must have offended someone and been murdered.

And the reason Ye Liuyun took his brother's identity to join the Brocade Guard was to investigate the truth of his brother's death.

One had to admit.

Ye Liuyun didn't explain anything, but Yan Shuzhu had already conjured up a grand drama in her mind.

"As long as you are willing to help me, I can let you continue working as a Brocade Guard under the identity of Ye Liuyun, legitimately, without needing to hide your original identity anymore. And whatever you want to do, as long as I can help, I will help you!"

Yan Shuzhu genuinely felt that the Ye Liuyun before her was a talented individual, so she sincerely wanted to recruit him.

At first, Ye Liuyun refused.

But he couldn't resist the generous offer.

"How should I help you?"

Ye Liuyun smiled, and Yan Shuzhu, who received this answer, also smiled.

Soon, Yan Shuzhu left.

Looking at her beaming face, it was clear she was in a very good mood.

She didn't directly ask Ye Liuyun to do anything. According to Yan Shuzhu, she would go back and think about it first, and resolve Ye Liuyun's identity issue before discussing anything further.

Ye Liuyun had no objections.

He just watched Yan Shuzhu leave.

After the surroundings quieted down, he turned his head to look at Si Nan beside him.

Shi Sheng might have been a bit slow to react, but Si Nan was a smart person. He likely realized through the recent conversation that he was Ye Liuyun, not Ye Liufeng.

The moment Ye Liuyun's gaze fell upon him.

Si Nan understood what he meant. Without hesitation, he immediately knelt down before Ye Liuyun, cupping his hands.

"I am willing to serve you like a dog or horse, my lord!"

Si Nan wasn't stupid. Following Ye Liuyun now, putting aside everything else, just the daily rewards were many times more than before.

Moreover, from the current situation, following Ye Liuyun clearly had a brighter future.

As for Ye Liufeng, sorry, they weren't familiar.

"???"

Shi Sheng, standing beside him, looked at Si Nan with a head full of question marks.

He seemed unable to understand why he suddenly started pledging loyalty out of the blue. Had something happened?

Although strange.

After being stunned for a moment, Shi Sheng also knelt down.

"I, Shi Sheng, am also willing to serve you, my lord."

Although he didn't know why he had to pledge loyalty at this moment, working with Ye Liuyun indeed made Shi Sheng feel very comfortable.

A scholar dies for his confidant.

To Shi Sheng, Ye Liuyun was such a person.

"Alright! Alright!"

He waved his hand with a smile.

"Just keep this matter in mind. Everything will remain the same. I'm heading back first."

It was a good opportunity to switch back to his original identity.

At first, he had no choice, but now that he had the ability, he didn't need to worry about anything anymore.

"Hoo!"

After Ye Liuyun left, Si Nan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Good thing I reacted quickly.

Shi Sheng, who had stood up with Si Nan, saw Si Nan's expression and curiously leaned over.

"I say, what exactly happened just now?"

"..."

Sometimes, being simple-minded is good. Not knowing anything is also a kind of happiness.

After glancing at Shi Sheng, Si Nan explained helplessly.

"From now on, when you address the lord, you can't call him Ye Liufeng anymore. You have to call him Ye Liuyun."

"Ye Liuyun? What do you mean?"

Sometimes I really wanted to report him to the authorities.

However, since they would be working together in the future, Si Nan patiently explained.

Night.

After leaving, Guan Bao quickly rushed back to Lord Eunuch and recounted everything that had just happened in detail.

Inside the palace, there was an extremely luxurious residence, which was Lord Eunuch's abode.

Eunuchs had no descendants and no thoughts of that nature, so most eunuchs were quite greedy for wealth or power.

The position of Lord Eunuch was basically the highest position an eunuch could attain.

Therefore, they were particularly serious about money.

When Guan Bao was reporting the news, Lord Eunuch was playing with the agate and jadeite that his subordinate had just presented, unable to put them down.

It wasn't until Guan Bao finished speaking that Lord Eunuch gently placed the agate and jadeite into a brocade box.

"It seems our little emperor is also an extraordinary person. She actually wants to recruit the Brocade Guard!"

In Lord Eunuch's opinion, the little emperor Yan Shuzhu protecting a Brocade Guard so much was simply because she wanted to recruit him.

She wanted to use him to control the power of the Brocade Guard.

She was clearly just a puppet pushed out to be emperor for a few years, yet she wanted to defy her fate. How ridiculous.

"Godfather, do you need me to go?"

Guan Bao cautiously raised his hand and said softly, making a gesture of slitting a throat.

He was asking if he needed to quietly deal with that Ye Liuyun.

It was clear that Guan Bao was quite confident in his own strength and didn't think that quietly dealing with that Ye Liuyun would be any trouble.

"No need!"

He waved his hand indifferently.

"Even if she's a puppet, she's still the emperor after all."

Lord Eunuch was loyal to the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, his loyalty was not to Yan Shuzhu, but to Yan Shuzhu's imperial father. In Lord Eunuch's opinion, he was the true master of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"The master has only been in seclusion for a few years. I reckon it will take some time before he breaks through and comes out. During this time, I cannot let any trouble arise in the Great Qian. Otherwise, when the master comes out, won't he think we are incompetent?"

"So, there's no need to do anything. Since the little emperor wants to protect that Brocade Guard, let her protect him. If she wants to control the Brocade Guard, let her do it. It will just waste a little of her time."

"Anyway, after the master comes out, this Great Qian Dynasty will still be the master's."

His tone was casual.

It seemed that as long as there was no trouble in the Great Qian Dynasty, everything else was not a problem.
