Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236: If Ali Says It’s Right, Then It Must Be Right

The moat collapse happened just today.

Their news arrived somewhat quickly, but Nanming is, after all, not a place that Shiyi is familiar with.

Shiyi’s information network in Nanming has only just begun to unfold.

It might not even be as fast as the individual members of the Imperial Family.

At best, it is on par.

As for the common folk, there’s even less need to mention it, news always comes with a delay.

But the news had hardly just returned not long ago, barely the time it took to change the State Preceptor’s medicine, and yet street songs started to spread?

If you said this wasn’t someone deliberately orchestrating from behind the scenes, they would never believe it, even if you killed them.

"This ballad must have been stirred up by someone with ulterior motives, but the key is, after receiving the news of the moat collapse, composing and writing lyrics would still need some time."

"Composing and writing lyrics is one thing; let’s just assume that person is a genius who can come up with a catchy tune on the spot, but even then, spreading it around, that would surely take some time, right?"

"Ali, what you mean is..." Fu Long thought for a moment, suddenly a chill ran down his spine! "Could it be that this tune was already prepared before the moat even collapsed?"

"And perhaps, in various places, there were already people on standby, ready to spread the rumors?"

This was not just a song targeting the Emperor and the Enchantress; this was an absolutely catastrophic event!

The collapse of the moat was not a natural disaster, but a man-made calamity!

Someone orchestrated it!

"Damn scoundrels!"

Fu Long clenched his fists tightly, in an instant, so enraged that he felt like his insides were about to explode!

"The moat collapse drowned so many innocent citizens! Could it be that just for a power struggle, even the lives of the people don’t matter?"

This is utterly inhumane!

Chu Qianli didn’t say anything but forcefully closed her eyes.

Such inhumane acts, to think they occurred amidst the power struggles of our Imperial Family!

So many innocent lives, treated as mere pawns, discarded at will.

Harming the civilians of one’s own country, even more than during a war against an enemy nation, is an utterly despicable crime!

Could it be for the sake of an imperial throne, one would really be so cruel?

Yexuan, is it really you?

"I’ve also heard a thing or two about the changes in Nanming over the past few years from Prince Jing."

Before Feng Yexuan returned today, her time spent with Chu Wang was quite pleasant.

Talking with an intimate uncle, discussing state affairs and the greater good of the nation, indeed made her feel quite good.

"Although Yexuan has not hidden his ambition for the throne over the years, and despite his explosive temper and cruelty, at least, he would not harm his own people."

"This time, why has he become so ruthless?"

"The heart is separated by the belly, perhaps, these years, he’s just been concealing his true self, not letting others see clearly!"

For Fu Long, those who harm civilians are heinous criminals across the ages, unforgivable!

"Now, he has finally found the opportunity to catch both the State Preceptor and the Emperor in one fell swoop!"

"Ali, if the moat collapse was really orchestrated by Yexuan, what do you plan to do?"

Chu Qianli did not directly answer this question but instead looked at him with mixed emotions.

"I... Why do I care so much about the affairs of the Nanming Imperial Family, Fu Long, don’t you find it... strange?"

But he never asked why.

As long as it’s something she wants to do, Fu Long would wholeheartedly help her.

As for why, he does not ask, nor does he feel the need to ask.

Fu Long chuckled: "I do find it strange, but, whatever Ali says is right, it must be right, no need to question it!"
