Chapter 351: Recognition


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


Just thinking about it made Fang Huairui feel suffocated.


This was a huge gamble!


In the past, even if he surrendered to the Eldest Prince, he had offended Kang w.a.n.g a few times. However, in the end, they didn’t fall out.


With the status of the British Monarchy, even if Chu Yi lost this battle for the throne, Kang w.a.n.g didn’t dare to touch the British Monarchy. He even had to comfort him nicely.


However, once he accepted this task today, it would be equivalent to standing completely opposite Kang w.a.n.g in public.


This was clearly pushing him out to be a target and a knife.


After today, the first person Kang w.a.n.g would deal with would probably be him, Fang Huairui.


Chu Yi had always been patient. Even if he didn’t look at Fang Huairui, he could guess his current struggle.


He leisurely picked up another white piece from the chess box and casually placed it down.


The sound of the pieces being placed was crisp and clear, one after another.


Bang! Bang! Bang!


Unknowingly, Fang Huairui’s heartbeat synchronized with the rhythm of the chess piece.


Fang Huairui’s eyebrows twitched with every step.


He clenched his fists tightly and tried to calm himself down.


Now that the Eldest Prince was willing to let him be the executioner, it meant that as long as he was loyal to the Emperor and the Eldest Prince, the British Monarchy would be saved and would no longer be investigated for the Yu Family’s rebellion.


If the Eldest Prince ascended to that position in the future, the British Monarchy would become his trusted aide.


He had a chance to advance to the next level.


It was obvious what he should choose.


Fang Huairui heaved a long sigh of relief when he made up his mind.


At this moment, he suddenly experienced the tragic and heroic feelings of his grandfather’s rebelling with Emperor Taizu.


In this chaotic world, who could really stay out of it?


It was the same now.


How could the tiger allow them to sit this one out and reap the spoils later! Fang Huairui finally moved. He lowered his upper body and kowtowed heavily to Chu Yi.


“Understood. ”


These three words were powerful and resonating.


His forehead was pressed against the cold ground almost reverently, and he knelt on the ground.


He was relieved that the dust had settled, but he also had a solemn expression on his face.


A burst of light laughter rang in the air and entered Fang Huairui’s ears. Fang Huairui finally relaxed a little.


Chu Yi casually threw the chess piece that he had just picked up into the chess box and said calmly, “50 years ago, Fang Ye took the tiger talisman from Emperor Taizu.”


‘Whether this tiger talisman can return to the British Monarchy depends on you.”


Hearing this, Fang Huairui’s beard trembled violently again. He recalled what


Chu Yi said just now about not using a suspect. This time, he completely understood.


He immediately expressed his loyalty. “I won’t let the Eldest Prince down.” “You may leave,” Chu Yi said as he took the tiger talisman in his hand and casually placed it on the table.


When Fang Huairui stood up, his complicated gaze couldn’t help but linger on the tiger talisman in Chu Yi’s hand for a moment, as if he was heartbroken, reluctant, and blaming himself.


Then, he bowed and left silently.


After leaving the East Warm Pavilion, Fang Huairui was already drenched in cold sweat. His forehead, neck, and back were all wet.


When the cold wind blew, he shivered from the cold.


He subconsciously touched his empty sleeve pocket. One moment, he was thinking about the tiger talisman that he had just handed over, and the next moment, he focused his eyes and replayed everything that had just happened. Actually, from the moment he handed over the tiger talisman, he had already made his choice.


The British Monarchy, which had lost its military power, was destined to go downhill. From then on, it would become an ordinary n.o.ble with fame but no power.


If Fang Huairui didn’t have any courage, he could enjoy the wealth left behind by his ancestors. However, if he still wanted to protect the foundation of his ancestors and had the ambition to show off, he had no other choice.


Riches and honor came from danger. This was a principle that had never changed throughout the ages.


Fang Huairui couldn’t help but turn around and look in the direction of the East Warm Pavilion. He wiped his cold sweat with his sleeve and sighed in defeat.


In the future, he could no longer be half-hearted, let alone watch from the sidelines.


What followed was a tough battle.


Since he had accepted this task, he couldn’t just do it casually. He had to do it beautifully. It could also be considered his allegiance to the Eldest Prince.


After leaving the palace, Fang Huairui brought more than ten personal guards of the Heavenly Garrison Army and personally went to the North Town Bureau to seek an audience with the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, He Lie, to express that he had been appointed by the Eldest Prince as the execution officer for today’s execution.


He Lie had already received a message from the palace and ordered someone to pa.s.s Yu Si and Shangqing, who were imprisoned in the imperial prison, to Fang Huairui.


Thanks to his brother-in-law, Fang Huairui visited the legendary “h.e.l.l on earth” for the first time in his life.


The “imperial prison” of the Embroidered Uniform Guards wasn’t a place that just any Tom, d.i.c.k, or Harry could be locked up in. Those who could be locked up here were either highly dangerous or had committed serious crimes.


Fang Huairui thought to himself mockingly as he stood in the gloomy cell.


An Embroidered Uniform Guard opened the lock of one of the cells and said expressionlessly, “My Lord, Yu Si is inside.”


The man in the cell had been standing with his hands behind his back. When he heard the commotion, he quickly turned around.


“Brother-in-law!’


When Yu Si, the Yu Family Head, saw the British Duke, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed and shout excitedly.


He had been locked in the cell for a full seven days. His hair was still meticulously and neatly combed, but the robe on his body had become wrinkled, emitting a strange smell like pickled vegetables.


Even so, Yu Si’s back was still straight. He was arrogant and disheveled, and there was an extreme contradiction around him.


” ” Fang Huairui felt a headache coming on. His forehead was throbbing.


At this point, he no longer had any hope of getting Madam Yu back, let alone the acknowledgement of the Yu Family Head.


The Yu Family was like a greedy blood leech that had been sucking the blood of the Fang Family all these years.


Yu Si took two steps forward excitedly and looked at Fang Huairui with a burning gaze.. “Are you here to pick me up?”
