Wen Yan sneered, "What's the matter with the fate of a phoenix? I'm not going to be the emperor, so she can have whatever fate she wants. Besides, I don't believe in it anyway."

"You don't want to be the emperor?" Xia Zhiliao was stunned.

[It's a lie, right? But why would he lie to me? ]

"Who told you that I want to be the emperor?" Wen Heng smiled bitterly. It turned out that she had always thought that she wanted to fight for power and the throne.

"Did I tell you?"

"That's not the case." Xia Zhile was confused. In the novel, he was supposed to be the emperor?

What went wrong?

"Then you're going back to the palace?"

"I returned to the palace just to seek justice for my mother. It was clearly not her fault and she was also a victim, but why should she be treated like that?"

When Wen Heng talked about the old days, his expression was gloomy, and his tone was not as cheerful as before.

"But……"

"I don't care how you think I will become the emperor, but I really have no interest in being one. You have also seen that the current emperor has killed meritorious officials, is ungrateful, hypocritical and selfish. He should not have been like this in the beginning."

Xia Zhiliao widened his eyes.

Wen Heng could actually say such words, she really underestimated him.

"If he had been that kind of person from the beginning, my great aunt would not have tried her best to support him to the position. But that position would make a person very scary. In order to maintain his honor, she might have gone against her original intention."

Wen Heng looked at Xia Zhiliao seriously, "Do you want me to become like that?"

Xia Zhiliao shook her head subconsciously. She would even be quite happy if Wen Heng did not fight for the throne.

"So, don't let your little head let you have such wild thoughts. You won't be able to guess right anyway."

[What's wrong? Maybe you changed because you met me? ]

Xia Zhiliao curled his lips, "Who guessed it? I didn't say anything."

Wen Heng didn't argue with her. There was no point in winning anyway.

"Then what exactly do you want to do?" Xia Zhiliao asked again.

She didn't expect Wen Heng to say it, but unexpectedly, Wen Heng actually said it.

"Revenge, to see him stripped of his disguise, to see him put on trial."

“Is this easy?”

"Of course it's not easy!" Wen Heng said, "But I must do this. Zhi, everyone has his mission."

Xia Zhiliao had no right to persuade him to give up his hatred, just as she had no right to forgive the emperor's persecution on behalf of her grandmother and mother.

If it weren't for his selfishness, the family of three might have become a family of four or five, or at least they should have been together.

Moreover, she knew very well that her grandmother's family had neither the power of an aristocratic family nor the ambition to overthrow the dynasty.

It had always been Emperor Shunde's own suspicion.

"What are you two talking about?" Xia Hai walked into the room and pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Wen is always thinking about Zhiliao and never looks at us."

"There are also delicious foods, and you still say you are not partial."

But no matter what Xia Hai said, he would not snatch the delicious food from his sister.

Wen Heng chuckled, "I would like to see you, but you are not at home?"

"No way, I'm at home right now. I'm just talking with the brothers from the Mu family."

Now the children from the two families get along very well, almost like real brothers.

"Brother Wen, come with us, they are playing chess."

Wen Heng glanced at Xia Zhiliao, who didn't want the atmosphere to remain so heavy, so he smiled and asked, "Who won?"

Wen Heng felt like he was carrying a heavy burden, and she hoped he could relax occasionally.

"When I came here, Brother Zhuojun won, but now I don't know."

"Third brother, what about you?"

"Me? Hehe." Xia Hai scratched his head. "With my two moves, I'll lose if I go up there. I'm just joining in the fun. Otherwise, Brother Wen will go and help us hold the stage. Both my brother and I are in such a pity."

"Let's go and have a look."

It's rare that I'm in a good mood today.

When Wen Heng went there, the Mu brothers were fighting each other. The two brothers of the Xia family had only come into contact with this after coming to the capital, so it was normal that they did not do well.

How old were they when they started? They were just playing in the mud before that.

The Mu brothers saw Wen Heng and quickly saluted, "No need to salute!"

Wen Heng glanced at the chessboard and saw that the white piece was on the verge of death and would soon be completely eaten up.

"Go on, I'm just coming to take a look."

"Who said that? Didn't Brother Wen promise to help us?" Xia Hai said without fear of trouble.

Wen Heng chuckled, "I didn't promise you anything."

He didn't want to disturb other people's fun, he just wanted to be a spectator.

Xia Zhiliao held a snack in her arms, eating while watching. She really didn't have any idea about this chess game, mainly because the thoughts here were too deep.

It’s not that she couldn’t understand, she just couldn’t play as well as they did.

If it is a casual game, she would rather keep it simple so that she can empty her mind and not be so tired.

So, these people are living too tiring lives.

Be calculated and cautious at every step.

Even playing chess requires various calculations.

Of course, she was not belittling them, she just felt that their lives were too difficult.

It might be because Xia Hai had just started learning and was just a bad player. As soon as the previous game was over, he started playing again.

As you can imagine, the loss was tragic, and of course the speed was also very fast.

Xia Zhiliao felt that in just the blink of an eye, she saw her third brother suffer a miserable defeat.

"Brother Wen, come here." Xia Hai called for help.

The Mu brothers also looked at Wen Heng with some anticipation.

Wen Heng smiled and said, "I'm just a spectator."

“I lost miserably.”

"We are all family, so who wins or loses doesn't matter?" Wen Heng smiled, "It's just a joke, why bother?"

The Mu brothers nodded, with a hint of shame on their faces.

Xia Zhiliao looked at him, curious why he didn't play chess?

She recalled the novel and there didn't seem to be any special plot description in it.

Maybe there's something in between?

But he definitely knows how to play chess.

He didn't want to play chess, so the Mu brothers didn't force him. However, because of Wen Heng's relationship with the Xia family, the Mu brothers respected him very much.

Afterwards, Xia Zhiliao also asked Wen Heng why he didn't play chess?

Wen Heng smiled and said that he just didn't care about winning or losing.

"You're not afraid of losing, and you don't care about winning, so it doesn't matter what happens next, right?"

Wen Heng looked at her and said, "You are right. I will accompany them next time if I have the chance."

Xia Zhiliao wanted to say something strange, but it was getting late and Wen Heng had to go back.

"Don't look at me like that. I can come out in a few days."

"Who...who asked you this."

"I'll bring you something delicious."

Xia Zhiliao rolled his eyes and said, “That’s okay.”

Wen Heng turned around with a smile, his mind full of her cute look when she saw the delicious food.

……

"You said that Wen Heng went to the general's mansion again? Go and call him to me." Emperor Shunde frowned after hearing this.

Naturally, he didn't want Wen Heng to have too much involvement with the General's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion.

But now it seems that we may have to take some action.
