The ending of the "Yes, Prime Minister" trio? Bringing the story to life / The "Yes, Prime Minister" novel released: political knowledge at the lowest price!

It's not over yet? For a moment, the Duke of Wellington, Ablana, and the viewers from various countries who were still watching were extremely surprised by the scene that appeared again, but everyone was also full of expectations, watching to see what message this final clip would bring them.

After all, there were bonus clips at the end, which basically all pointed to a sequel! Does that mean we can expect a third season of "Yes, Prime Minister"?

However, as they watched, everyone realized something was wrong, because after the screen went black, it showed a person they were not very familiar with.

"Chen Qi? How come he's on camera too?"

Lungmen, Chen Huijie, and the others stared in astonishment at Chen Qi's figure appearing on the big screen. They couldn't understand what Chen Qi was planning to do in this final segment.

Chapter 167: The Ending of the "Yes, Prime Minister" Trio? The Realization of the Story

"Director Chen Qi? Why is he appearing on the big screen? And in the final behind-the-scenes footage of 'Yes, Prime Minister'?"

Chen Qi's unusual appearance surprised everyone who knew Chen Qi identity. Especially on Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit was astonished to see the usually low-key Chen Qi appear in what was now his proudest work.

No one knew what Chen Qi was going to do, but subconsciously everyone felt that Chen Qi be about to do something big—after all, he hadn't appeared in any of the movies that had caused huge upheavals before, but this time he actually appeared for the "glorious" film "Yes, Prime Minister".

This easily leads people to wonder if Chen Qi is planning something big, as his every word and action now seems to reveal his stance and opinions. It's no wonder everyone is on edge.

"Director Chen Qi, are you planning to use the behind-the-scenes footage of 'Yes, Prime Minister' to publicly declare your alliance with the Sarkaz?"

Amiya was also somewhat worried. Although Chen Qi had a cooperative relationship with Rhodes Island and was not bound by Rhodes Island's ideas at all, Rhodes Island had no say in who he wanted to ally with.

However... on Theresis Rhodes Island's side, there's always been a view of Theresis as an opponent they'll inevitably face in the future. While Amiya doesn't necessarily think Theresis and his group are enemies, Theresis undoubtedly considers Rhodes Island an enemy.

When Chen Qi presented the [Royal Court Covenant] to Theresis, they couldn't say anything... after all, it represented the friendship of the entire Sarkaz race. But the friendship of the Sarkaz race and the alliance with Theresis alone are completely different things.

"... It's unlikely. Even if that were to happen, it wouldn't be now."

After some thought, Kal'tsit refuted Amiya's guess, solemnly stating:

"If Kazdel had been restored, then perhaps Director Chen Qi and Theresis would really do this. But the Sarkaz are not yet fully prepared, and most of their forces are in Victoria. Taking such a big risk to bring the Sarkaz back into the spotlight is not something Theresis would do."

"And more importantly, Amiya, look at them, aren't they still wearing the same makeup as in 'Yes, Prime Minister'?"

Kal'tsit pointed to the trio appearing on the television, and Amiya realized that the three were still dressed in their costumes from the show, although they looked older, but they were not appearing as Sarkaz.

"Obviously, this is just an Easter egg. Although we don't know what Director Chen Qi is planning, it shouldn't be anything bad."

As Kal'tsit said this, she was also trying to reassure herself. She was actually a little nervous at that moment. If Chen Qi really sided with Theresis... then for Rhodes Island, Chen Qi, as a weapon of public opinion, might actually be somewhat detrimental to them.

Especially after watching "Yes, Prime Minister," Kal'tsit was certain that if Chen Qi really wanted to smear you, he had every angle he could use to ridicule you mercilessly. Rhodes Island couldn't afford to offend such a powerful figure.

Now, Kal'tsit could only calm herself down and turn her gaze to the television. Viewers from various countries were also watching the television with their own thoughts, anticipating what Chen Qi would say on screen this time.

"Has it started?"

On the television, after confirming the information, Chen Qi turned his gaze to Theresis and the other two, and said with a smile:

"So, the 'Yes, Prime Minister' series is now completely finished. I'm very grateful to the three of you for providing me with so much material, which allowed me, as the screenwriter, to complete this work."

"I especially want to thank you, Mr. Bernard, for providing me with so much information and data as Grand Secretariat Secretary, which enabled me to finish this work. It must have been very difficult to organize these events from ten years ago."

Grand Secretariat Secretary? However, when Chen Qi still addressed Manfred using the name from the show and revealed this information, all the viewers were slightly taken aback. But then, seeing the three people who looked older and Chen Qi's mention of "ten years ago," they immediately understood the meaning of this Easter egg.

"Director Chen Qi is deliberately creating 'realism' in this drama."

Seeing this, Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief, then muttered to herself, "He's intentionally trying to make these three deeply memorable characters as realistic as possible, to build up more popularity for this work."

"Furthermore, Director Chen Qi introduced the ending of the work to the audience in the style of an editor, probably to give the work a perfect conclusion."

This approach is indeed the icing on the cake, since "authenticity" is always a natural attraction. Although those in the know are well aware that there was never a prime minister named "Hacker" in Victoria's history, this still makes most viewers feel a sense of familiarity. The characters in the show seem to have stepped out of the script, but they still feel like people they know, which is quite relatable.

"This is indeed a unique way to end the series. Using flashbacks and post-show interviews to introduce the characters' fates to the audience and bring them closer to the characters is a very creative idea."

On television, just as Kal'tsit had predicted, Manfred looked older but also more sophisticated after applying makeup, continued speaking in Bernard's tone:

"Yes, organizing this information is indeed a troublesome task, but I'm not doing it alone. Sir Hacker and Sir Humphrey have both provided me with a lot of information, and everyone is very willing to make some efforts to understand that period of ten years ago."

"--It's Baron Hacker, Bernard."

However, at this moment, Theresis, who was sitting upright in his chair with a wine glass in one hand, suddenly spoke up to correct him, "I am not like Humphrey. Humphrey is only a knight. I was granted the title of Baron of Islington after I stepped down as Prime Minister, wasn't I?"

"Besides, without my oral diary, 'Yes, Prime Minister' wouldn't have been completed so quickly, would it? I put in a lot of Kung Fu Hustle to convince everyone in the House of Lords to agree to film it, Director Chen Qi."

As Theresis said this, her gaze involuntarily turned to Chen Qi jokingly replied:

"--Yes, Sir, you are right."

Seeing this interaction, the audience couldn't help but smile. Although they didn't burst into laughter as much as before, seeing familiar characters joking with each other still evoked a strange sense of warmth.

It's as if these people are still alive today, everyone has witnessed their stories, and they themselves are bringing those past events to life once again.

How to put it... it's like they watched these characters grow up and grow old. Although the three of them already looked old when they first appeared, looking at their even more weathered faces now, it's hard not to feel a little sentimental.

However, from the few lines of dialogue, everyone could tell that Hacker and Bernard both had relatively good endings, which was some consolation for them.

"Hacker has already become a baron, so his rank is indeed higher Humphrey's."

"And he's even entered the House of Lords, so he can finally retire comfortably?"

"Bernard actually became Grand Secretariat Secretary! Hacker and Humphrey did a lot of work teaching him back then, and he's certainly lived up to their expectations."

At this moment, viewers everywhere couldn't help but sigh. The two seasons of "Yes, Prime Minister" were not long, but it felt like they had watched these people's entire lives. And now, they were appearing before them again as those who reminisced, but everything had changed.

"And what about you, Humphrey?" However, the smug Theresis didn't forget to turn to the much older-looking Bloodborne Archon beside him and tease him:

"They saw you disappear from the St Dymphna Sanatorium. Are you really alright? You're currently a 'mentally disturbed' patient."

"--Prime Minister, if you want to test whether I'm mentally unstable, I can prove it again: my tongue hasn't degenerated to the point where I can't speak the 'long and complex sentences' you like."

However, the Bloodborne Archon took a sip of his drink and didn't pay much attention to Theresis's words. Nevertheless, this still revealed an unexpected message to the audience: Humphrey's treatment in his later years was not as good as that of Hacker and Bernard.

However, Humphrey doesn't look mentally unstable at all right now, so this is obviously just an excuse. As for why he would do this, the audience is speculating.

"Mental instability... Although it's just a flimsy excuse, it's not incomprehensible if Humphrey were truly mentally unstable."

In Lungmen, Wei Yenwu and the others couldn't help but feel a little emotional upon seeing Humphrey in such an old age. Although Wei Yenwu Wenyue had guessed from the beginning that it would be difficult for Humphrey's character to have a good ending, they still felt a bit sad after their guess was actually confirmed.

"Perhaps it was to avoid trouble? He left behind some incriminating evidence, and fearing retribution, the reason of mental instability is quite plausible."

"This can be considered a good end. Considering what he's done, this ending... is extremely fortunate."

Wei Yenwu Wenyue both said the same thing: although Humphrey's final fate was not good, it would not be accurate to describe it as a "miserable old age," especially considering Humphrey's actions. It was fortunate that he died a peaceful death.

However, on television, Theresis clearly had no intention of letting the Bloodborne Archon off the hook, especially now that she had a clear advantage over Humphrey in both status and other aspects. She was making even more jokes, saying:

"Really? Then, Humpy, would you be willing to tell us the real reason you went to the sanatorium? You gave all your assets to your children, and then your daughter-in-law kicked you out..."

"Enough, Prime Minister!" The Bloodborne Archon almost immediately silenced Theresis, still appearing full of energy and showing no signs of mental instability, and continued:

"I even brought out my own notes to film this part of the story. Bernard was in charge of reviewing these materials, and we are all very satisfied with the final product. That's enough."

"Director Chen Qi, please cut that scene. I don't want my family to see it."

Chen Qi: "Of course, Sir Humphrey, all the segments featuring you will be cut from the broadcast, please rest assured."

However, Chen Qi's quick agreement on television, coupled with the interview currently airing, has once again brought laughter to many viewers.

However, in her brief words, Theresis finally revealed to everyone the real reason why Humphrey was spending the rest of his life in a sanatorium, making many who had previously speculated that Humphrey was trying to avoid the limelight somewhat embarrassed.

They never expected that the final reason would be so... realistic. Humphrey, a former Grand Secretariat Secretary—who, if the Prime Minister hadn't been Hacker, but a more easily manipulated one—could have been a puppet, actually made such a common... mistake.

Quietly, even many viewers who had gloated over Humphrey's fate began to feel some sympathy for Humphrey. Once again, Chen Qi subtly revealed the more approachable side of those in power through this method, quietly bridging the gap between the public and those in authority.

Chapter 168: The novel "Yes, Prime Minister" is released, offering the cheapest political knowledge!

"Unexpectedly, Humphrey ended up being kicked out of his home. The reason given for his mental instability was probably just an excuse his family used when they sent him to a sanatorium due to their disagreements with him."

Meanwhile, in Lungmen, Wei Yenwu, who had previously guessed that Humphrey had entered the sanatorium under the pretense of mental instability to protect himself, made a mistake for the first time, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

After all, even Wei Yenwu couldn't have guessed that Humphrey, a man of such strategic acumen, though not quite as capable as Arnold in the show or Bernard, who is now a Grand Secretariat secretary, was still a smart man, yet he handled family matters so poorly.

However, this made Wei Yenwu think of himself. As the ruler of Lungmen, he seemed to be the same as Humphrey. Although he could handle everything in national affairs and politics very well, he was helpless when it came to his family.

From this perspective, Wei Yenwu felt that he and Humphrey actually had a lot to talk about. They were both clear-headed when it came to work matters, but became confused when it came to family affairs.

"... Little Chen, you won't end up like Humphrey's family, abandoning me in a nursing home when I get old, will you?"

Wei Yenwu suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Chen Huijie beside him. However, when Chen Huijie heard this, she wanted to say, "Of course I wouldn't do that," but when she saw that the person asking the question was Wei Yenwu, she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

However, Chen Huijie's hesitation stunned Wei Yenwu. In the end, he didn't receive a reply from Chen Huijie. Instead, he saw his niece pretending not to hear and silently turning her head away.

That single action, Chen Huijie's lack of response to Wei Yenwu, left Wei Yenwu feeling even colder inside than if she had answered.

"Oh no, am I going to have to rely on Little Tal for my old age? Wait, if Little Chen still has such a big problem with me, doesn't Little Tal think the same way?"

"Doesn't that mean my future retirement depends on that brat Chen Qi's attitude?"

Wei Yenwu couldn't help but feel sad about his old age. In fact, he knew from the day he fled that his later years would probably not be particularly good. Wei Yenwu knew that he could not possibly rebel against his brother. If he had such thoughts, he wouldn't have fled so quickly back then, and his brother would definitely not have fought or fought for him; he would have immediately replaced him and come to Lungmen to live a carefree and happy life as a prince.

If Wei Yenwu himself were to become emperor, his younger brother wouldn't have to worry about his older brother harming him, nor would he have any intention of rebelling.

But if this position were reversed, when the Emperor of Yan learned that he had a brother who was superior to him in every way, he would be afraid in a place like Lungmen, far from the emperor's reach.

Especially considering the considerable commotion Wei Yenwu caused in those years... Looking back now, Wei Yenwu has to admit that he was young and impetuous back then and made too many mistakes, to the point that his younger brother, as the emperor, had to warn him.

So Wei Yenwu was prepared to never have any contact with power again in his later years and to live a life of poverty. He had originally hoped that his two nieces could help him out... but now it seems that Chen Qi is more likely to help him than his two nieces.

"Do I really have to swallow my pride and befriend that kid? But I don't think he's a decent person..."

Wei Yenwu was bothered by this. Although he couldn't make the decision about Talulah, Wei Yenwu knew that Chen Qi had hugged his niece countless times after they returned to Lungmen Talulah. So, he didn't have a particularly friendly impression of Chen Qi.

But now, Talulah and Chen Qi's relationship is a done deal, and his uncle, whose existence or non-existence makes no difference, seems to have no say. Considering Chen Qi's current favorable situation and future prospects... Wei Yenwu feels that he should perhaps acknowledge Chen Qi as his nephew-in-law.

Wei Yenwu turned his attention back to the television, while Chen Qi, Theresis, and the other two were chatting happily. They talked mostly about things in the show, discussing the stories that took place in "Yes, Prime Minister" from the perspectives of the writers and those who experienced it firsthand.

"Bernard, you reviewed all this information, and a lot of it praises you quite highly."

The three finally discussed the content of "Yes, Prime Minister," and, unusually, Theresis sided with the Bloodborne Archon, launching a "complaint" against Manfred, who was in charge of reviewing the content:

"Clearly, our Grand Secretariat secretary doesn't want to tell his Grand Secretariat colleagues about past events. If the Grand Secretariat members knew that their second 'GCMG' Grand Secretariat secretary was even more inexperienced than he appeared on television, it wouldn't help his management."

"... GCMG?" At this moment, Chen Qi, who was seemingly conducting an interview but was actually playing a role, pretended not to know the meaning and asked.

At that moment, Humphrey, played by the Bloodborne Archon, promptly explained, "GCMG, the highest rank for a civil servant. In our department, 'CGM' stands for 'Call Me God'."

"And KCMG stands for 'Call me God,'" Theresis chimed in at this moment, and the Bloodborne Archon promptly replied:

"And 'GCMG' stands for 'God called me God.' This achievement was accomplished only by Arnold before our dear current Grand Secretariat Secretary."

The banter between the Bloodborne Archon and Theresis provided plenty of laughs. However, their words also reminded the audience that Bernard, whom they jokingly called "Little Sarkaz," is probably not so honest in real life.

Before they knew it, the audience began to forget that it was acting, as if these three beloved characters really existed in the world, holding various positions of supreme power in Victoria, as if these stories had actually happened.

"Ah, I'm sorry, but you know, filming this content requires review and could potentially involve leaks." Manfred offered a brief explanation after a slight embarrassment, essentially admitting he had indeed made changes, before quickly changing the subject:

"But the film itself was very well made, wasn't it? Our performances were all excellent."

"Yes -- but it wasn't detailed enough; many of my best moments were cut."

The actress playing the flamboyant and vain Hacker perfectly embodies her character. After putting down her glass Theresis, she turned her gaze to Chen Qi and echoed:

"Director Chen Qi, you've portrayed me as two-faced! How can you slander me like this?"

"Forgive my bluntness, but Director Chen Qi has already been quite lenient with you, Prime Minister." The Bloodborne Archon, as always, was quick to contradict him, but he seemed to have his own objections, turning to Chen Qi and saying:

"However, Director Chen Qi could probably have filmed it better. We cut too many scenes during filming. What could have been a 90-point drama only felt like a 70-point performance."

"It's for the sake of pacing. After all, if we filmed everything, many viewers might not understand it, and it also involves a lot of confidential information, so it's simply impossible to film it."

"Therefore, we had to cut a lot of content involving details. We are very sorry to all the viewers; this is the limit of what we could do."

Chen Qi explained this to the camera, indicating that he was also "dancing with ankle chains on," but also implying that there was still a lot of content that hadn't been filmed.

Chen Qi's words immediately piqued the curiosity of many viewers. The information revealed by "Yes, Prime Minister" was something they couldn't even access, and Chen Qi and the other three stated that it wasn't even the complete content.

So... if it were the complete content, how explosive would it be?

For a moment, countless viewers were incredibly curious about this. At that moment, Theresis on the television also turned to Chen Qi and asked:

"So, our story ends here?"

"Yes, it's over." Chen Qi nodded, then turned to the audience watching on the screen, smiling as he said:

"Dear viewers, thank you so much for your continued support. The 'Yes, Prime Minister' series has now officially come to an end."

"Although it's a pity we couldn't continue filming, as one of the screenwriters, after discussing it with the three lead actors, we felt that we had covered everything we could talk about and written everything we could write. Continuing would only make it as boring as reheating old dishes. So we decided to freeze this series at its most perfect moment."

"Even though we're retired, we still have a lot of work to do, and we can't be filming all the time," Theresis.'s character, Hacker, chimed in, shaking his head and swaying his body in a manner consistent with his on-screen persona, saying with a boastful air.

"The House of Lords has a lot of business to do, like defense and finance, and we're still working for Victoria."

Theresis's witty remarks once again brought smiles to many viewers, especially those in Victoria's Secret. At that moment, they felt as if their beloved characters, such as Hacker, Bernard, and Humphrey, were still holding important positions in places they couldn't see.
