Yuwen Yue transmigrates to the Great Liang Dynasty and becomes the heir to a noble house. After the Empress ascends the throne, her position is still unstable, so she launches a brutal purge of powerful clan leaders and senior officials. To protect his family, he joins the Empress’s faction!
The Empress asked, “Your enemy slaughtered your entire family and seized your family’s fortune. Later, you found a chance to wipe out their whole clan, but discovered a child hiding in the house. What would you do?”
Yuwen Yue replied, “Your Majesty, I’m not a bloodthirsty man. I’d give him a choice.”
The Empress was a little disappointed. This boy still wasn’t ruthless enough.
Yuwen Yue continued, “I’d take out a knife and a piece of candy. If he chose the knife, it would mean he had murderous intent, so he couldn’t be allowed to live. If he chose the candy, it would mean he was devious, so he couldn’t be allowed to live. If he chose both, it would mean he was terribly greedy, so he couldn’t be allowed to live. If he chose neither, it would mean he was born rebellious, so he couldn’t be allowed to live.”
The Empress: “…”
All the officials were stunned.
