The old emperor looked at Murong Che's leaving figure, feeling a faint pain in his heart for some reason.
He felt more and more that he had lost this son.
"Tian Yan..." the emperor called casually, "give me some tea."
"Your Majesty, this servant is Zhang Jixiang. Guard Tian has already..." Zhang Jixiang held up the teapot and filled the cup with tea for the old emperor until it was seven to eight percent full.
"Oh, yes, the guard Tian Yan who has served me for decades is dead. I sent him to Qitian Kingdom to find Concubine Chen and her son, but he died there." The old emperor picked up the cup with some emotion and took a sip.
Tea, "Ji Xiang, you have served me for many years. What do you think has changed in Che'er?"
"This..." Zhang Jixiang lowered his head, "I dare not say it."
"Say it. No matter how ugly the words are, as long as they are the truth, I will pardon you."
"Yes." Zhang Jixiang said carefully, "I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be missing something compared to before. I feel that in the past, His Highness the Crown Prince was like a god descending to earth, and he was just like an immortal. Now, even with the same appearance, the same
The voice, even the same appearance... the servants feel that His Highness the Crown Prince is a person..."
Seeing the emperor's displeased look, Zhang Jixiang knelt down quickly and said, "My servant is saying that the prince used to look like an immortal, but now he looks like... a mortal. His temperament is completely different."
"Before, which past do you mean?"
"Back... back to the Emperor, I think it was more than two years ago."
The old emperor narrowed his old eyes slightly, "According to your opinion, the prince has changed too much, and he is now an imposter?"
"I don't dare," Zhang Jixiang kowtowed on the ground, "His Royal Highness is a rich man, no one dares to impersonate him, I, my servant..."
"Okay, get up. Don't be nervous. I said I won't blame you, so I won't punish you." The old emperor waved his hand dejectedly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You really don't like to hear what you are saying, but it is exactly what I think." The old emperor walked to the window and looked at the dark sky without even a star. "No one dares to pretend to be Che'er. I don't think so."
I think so. Since ancient times, there is nothing that those who have the courage to seek to usurp the throne would not dare to do? But Che'er... I have people quietly pay attention to his characteristics, he is my Che'er."
The more he talked, the lower the old emperor's mood became.
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Jixiang opened his mouth, wanting to persuade, but he didn't know what to say.
"Go to King Xuanrui and enter the palace."
Before Zhang Jixiang left, the eunuch outside the door came to report, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui wants to see you."
The emperor nodded slightly, and Murong Chenghao walked into the room. His tall and strong body was very conspicuous in the huge room, "My son, I have come to see my father."
"Hao'er, do you know who came here just now?"
"My son met the prince on the road."
"Since you are in the palace, the eunuch who announced the decree must have brought my oral instructions."
"My son, I accept your orders."
The old emperor looked serious, "You have gone too far. Do you know that the people in the entire capital now think that you have evil intentions and intend to provoke a war between the two countries. You have simply lost the support of the people!"
Murong Chenghao knelt down, his face ashen, "I know my mistake."
"I always thought you were brave, talented and virtuous, but I didn't know you were so impatient this time." The old emperor looked disappointed, "If you want to kill Jun Youqi, you won't do it secretly. You have to hang up."
Your title as King Rui? Do you have to make everyone in the world dissatisfied with you?"
"My son made a mistake." Murong Chenghao finally understood in his heart,
