Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 174 Please issue a decree, Your Majesty

Han Wang An looked at Liu Yi and already knew what Liu Yi wanted to say. Liu Yi was ruthless and seemed tyrannical, but he was also cunning. No matter how you looked at it, he was not a good person. However, in the army, such a person could get along very well. As a subordinate, such a person could also be very considerate.

The incident at Huoyu Manor back then was not only because Liu Yi was eyeing Madam Hu, but also because he wanted to obtain the treasures of Huoyu Manor.

Back then, he was at a crucial stage in his struggle for the position of crown prince and needed a lot of money, so the wealthy Huoyu Manor naturally became his target.

He and Liu Yi both coveted the treasure of Huoyu Manor, which led to Li Kai's defeat and death. Both of them obtained the treasure they wanted. It was because of this that the box in Liu Yi's secret room was empty. It was also because of this that, in the original timeline, after learning that Liu Yi was dead and Li Kai had appeared, Han Wang An's first thought was to find out why he was being silenced.

"What do you think?" King Han asked.

Once this matter is exposed, it can only be stopped with Liu Yi and absolutely cannot be implicated. But is Liu Yi really that loyal?

"I will take full responsibility for the matter of Huoyu Manor and Li Sima. From now on, I will disappear from Han State completely," Liu Yi said resolutely.

At this moment, he felt like a clown. He had gone to great lengths to get Madam Hu, but had he really gotten what he wanted over the past ten years?

For over a decade, Madam Hu had remained as indifferent to him as ever. Moreover, Madam Hu had a daughter with Li Kai. If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The key issue was that after Li Kai appeared, Madam Hu became even more distracted, which made Liu Yi realize a reality more clearly.

He held no weight in Madam Hu's heart.

This made Liu Yi feel like a clown. Now, as the uncle, he was being used by Ji Wuye as leverage to control Yang Che, which was something he didn't want to see.

On one hand, there was no hope in sight; on the other hand, there was the threat. It's not surprising that Liu Yi, who is never short of ruthlessness, would have the idea of ​​disappearing completely.

"What do you want to do?" Han Wang'an scrutinized Liu Yi. Did Liu Yi really have such a sense of responsibility? Was he willing to shoulder everything?

"I would like to ask Your Majesty for a favor," Liu Yi said.

He had his own reasons for doing so. He wasn't a good person, so why would he be willing to sacrifice himself for others? That's simply not his style.

Han Wang An remained silent, but Liu Yi, who had dealt with Han Wang An for many years, knew that Han Wang An's silence meant acquiescence, so he said directly: "In my life, I have no children, only my nephew. Yang Che is already twenty years old, and it is time for him to get married. I am not worried about him in other aspects, but marriage is a major event, and it is not possible for him to get married without the help of his elders."

Han Wang An simply looked at Liu Yi, and he had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

"Therefore, I humbly request something from Your Majesty," Liu Yi said, stepping forward and bowing deeply to the ground.

"I am aware of your thoughts. I am also very satisfied with Yang Che and have always regarded him as my own nephew. I will betroth Honglian to Yang Che," said King Han An.

"Please issue a decree, Your Majesty," Liu Yi continued. Compared to Han Wang An's promise, what he wanted was a clear decree granting the marriage.

"You—" Han Wang'an was helpless. He understood Liu Yi's meaning and was a little annoyed. However, this request was nothing, so he said, "Okay."

Liu Yi left the palace with a satisfactory answer, but instead of returning to the Left Sima's residence, he went to the Sikong's residence and went straight to Yang Che.

"Uncle, are you really sure? Things aren't beyond repair. If we just eliminate Li Kai, everything will disappear." Yang Che said this after learning of Liu Yi's decision.

"No need. I know you can do this, Archer, but you are different from me. I am tainted, but you are not. You are still young, you have a clean background, and your future is promising. You can't get stained. Some things, once you get involved, you can never wash them off for the rest of your life."

Liu Yi looked at Yang Che with only affection in his eyes. Before he turned fifty, he cared more about Madam Hu, but after he turned fifty, he took some things less seriously and cared more about the continuation of his bloodline.

Although Yang Che was not his biological son, he was his nephew. In terms of blood relation, Yang Che was even closer than his other relatives. Moreover, Yang Che was raised by him, and this closeness was something that his relatives could not match.

"I care more about my uncle than my reputation," Yang Che said.

He wasn't ashamed of himself at all when he said that. If he had to choose, Yang Che would only choose Liu Yi over Li Kai, Madam Hu, and Liu Yi. As for Nongyu, he could just lie to her for the rest of his life.

"I know Archer's filial piety, but I'm tired and don't want to live like this anymore. What happened back then was wrong and evil, but I don't regret it. If I had another chance, I would still do it. But I'm tired now. The right and wrong of back then are no longer important. What's important is that I don't want to implicate you because of me. I did it, so I should take full responsibility for it now," Liu Yi said resolutely.

"Has Uncle really made up his mind?" Yang Che sighed, feeling that his uncle's image had suddenly become more three-dimensional.

In this world, he faces real, living people, not just anime characters; his humanity is more fleshed out than his own understanding.

In an instant, Yang Che thought of many people: Zhao Ji, Zi Nu, Lady Mingzhu, Nong Yu, and Jing Ni. They had once treated each other with a carefree attitude, but now, it seemed that something had changed.

"It's been decided. It's time to pay this debt. Liu Yi will disappear from South Korea completely," Liu Yi said wistfully.

"However, Archer," Liu Yi, lost in thought, suddenly changed his expression, looking at Yang Che with a hint of amusement, "Do you like Nongyu from Zilan Pavilion?"

"Why would Uncle ask that?" Yang Che was caught off guard by Liu Yi's sudden change of topic and couldn't react for a moment.

"Why don't you just redeem her and take her as a concubine? The maids around you are quite beautiful, but they were given to you by Ji Wuye. Whether they can be truly devoted to you is another matter. Nongyu is different. I've met her, and I can see that all her thoughts are on you. Besides, since you also have feelings for her, keeping her in Zilan Pavilion is not a long-term solution. That place is not a place for a woman to stay permanently," Liu Yi said meaningfully.

Even if he was destined never to win Madam Hu's heart, he might as well let Madam Hu's daughter marry Yang Che. In this way, it would be equivalent to him realizing his dream.

However, he would never reveal this thought to anyone.

"Nongyu," Yang Che murmured, the image of that figure who always watched him quietly surfacing in his mind.
