Xiao Muting and Su Han were sitting on the warm couch in the study. After listening to the secret guard's report, the two of them were surprisingly calm.
Let the secret guards continue to monitor and monitor the movements of the Su Mansion, and then wait for what news Qi Wei will bring.
Xiao Muting took the ginger tea handed over by Su Han, took a sip, and sneered: "He is really open-minded."
Su Han wrinkled his little face and shook his head lightly: "Why do I feel that he still has a trump card?"
"True card?" Xiao Muting raised an eyebrow: "There really is one, it's the edict."
"Yes, he has this trump card, which is also a bargaining chip. But he can use it to blackmail the emperor, but he may not blackmail us. Even if it is true as he said, if he dies, this thing will definitely appear in the world, which is not a bad thing.
, at least we don’t have to look for it." Su Han analyzed carefully.
Xiao Muting raised his head with a smile and shook his head: "You are right, but once this edict appears, the world may be in chaos. It can't be that simple..."
"Then what do you think? If this edict is really related to you, will you implement it according to it? Do you really want to compete with him for the world?" Su Han blinked at him.
Xiao Muting's face became a little gloomy, his brows wrinkled, and his eyes became deeper.
This is where he has always been conflicted.
He had no intention of taking the throne. It was not that he didn't know that his father was interested in him. It was precisely because he knew about it and it was inconvenient to refuse directly that he would lead troops stationed at the border and not return to the court on the grounds of deterrence.
In Zhonglai, every time I went back to Beijing to visit my father and mother, I always came and went in a hurry.
But he never expected that it was precisely because of this position that the emperor brother really took action. He did not disagree with the current emperor's succession, but he should not take his father's life because of that throne. The method was still the same.
So despicable.
He only thought that when his father was on the throne, his relationship with this imperial brother was not very close, and he never thought of his outstanding military achievements. When his father was on the throne, he was also in the court,
Because his father was disrespectful in his praise, he offended his father and was reprimanded.
He has a grudge against himself, and he can understand it. It doesn't matter to him that everything is aimed at him. Anyway, he really doesn't intend to stay in the capital, but he wants to kill him, so he can no longer sit back and wait for death.
But now he has discovered an even bigger thing, which is the truth about his father's death, which he cannot accept and has no choice but to pursue.
But he was very reluctant to pull him down from that position and sit in his place instead.
Because that position is not something that ordinary people can sit in. It is a position where freedom is lost, there are many things to give up, and it is a position without emotion.
He didn't want to sit before, he doesn't want to sit now, and he won't want to sit in the future either.
So, what was the purpose of finding that edict?
Seeing his thoughtful and conflicted look, Su Han sighed and lowered his head.
What kind of power is that? Of course she knows how many people yearn for the Nine-Five Supreme Being and the surrender of ten thousand people.
There is an old saying: A prince who does not want to be the emperor is not a qualified member of the royal family.
Who can give up easily?
It's one thing not to be able to take the turn, it's one thing not to be able to grab it, but it's another thing to turn a blind eye when it's already in front of you. Is there really such a person?
She didn't dare to be sure, let alone try, for fear that it would frighten herself and make her heartbroken and disappointed.
But looking at all the members of the royal family she has seen so far, there is no one else who has the ability to compete with the current emperor except the war king in front of her.
She secretly looked up at Xiao Muting, who was still thinking, and lowered her head in frustration. She put her arms on her crossed legs, and the tips of her index fingers touched each other, looking completely at a loss.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Xiao Muting, it's that she doesn't believe in the system of this era.
As an emperor, there are too many things to weigh. In order to balance the power and power of all parties, even if he is the lord of the world, there are times when he cannot help himself.
Luo Zhihui's last words rang in her ears again.
She had to admit that she was stupid. She would definitely not be able to adapt to things like palace fighting. Even if she knew that he was involuntarily and had no choice but to do so, she would not be able to bear it, watching him make love with other women.
, then she will go crazy.
With her simple and rude temper, she wouldn't say much at all, she would just take action, and the whole harem would become lively.
She wanted to help him instead of being a hindrance to him. She was not suitable for that position at all.
Then there was only one way she could think of, and that was to leave.
Just go to a place he knows and wait for him to take you back.
Thinking of this, she suddenly understood Luo Zhihui's choice back then.
It turned out that this was what she did. Unfortunately, she did not wait for the person to pick her up until her death.
As for her, will she be luckier than Luo Zhihui? Can she wait?
Suddenly her head was held down by a big hand, causing her whole body to freeze.
Then, her chin was lifted by his slender fingers, and she saw his firm and energetic eyes right in front of her.
"Han'er, if I say that even if the edict has something to do with me, I don't want to accept it. I just want to do what I should do as a son, to get justice for my father and mother and concubine, and let him admit his mistakes, what will you do?
Don't you think I'm worthless and incompetent?" Xiao Muting asked her sincerely.
Su Han did not answer directly, but asked: "Have you really thought about it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Xiao Muting smiled calmly: "If I wanted it, I would have been the prince many years ago. It is because I didn't want it that I stayed away from this place of right and wrong. He can be considered a good emperor, at least in terms of governing the country.
In terms of people, he is pretty good, but I think he is really not as good as him in some aspects."
Su Han blinked and said nothing, then listened to him continue: "I have never been afraid of the enemy's strength when leading troops in war, but I really don't have enough confidence to govern a country, and that position is too lonely.
When it gets cold, the person sitting on it will often become a cold-blooded person. I don’t want to be that person, because I have blood and true love in my heart, and I can’t bear to let it go, let alone let go. It’s better that we just be ordinary like this.
Just live your life, okay?"
A smile appeared on Su Han's lips, and he nodded to him with his eyes closed: "I think it's okay, but I don't think I'm a person who can adapt to that kind of environment anyway."
"It seems that neither of us is used to it, so don't worry. What will happen if he appears in the world? If he wants to keep his current position, he has to make concessions. As long as he can admit his mistake, I can let him go.
To apologize, let him go to the imperial mausoleum to plead guilty to his father in person." Xiao Muting shrugged easily.
Su Han patted his chest generously: "Don't worry, I'm a famous miracle doctor now. When the time comes, I will open a medical clinic and I will support you."
Xiao Muting laughed out loud, clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll help you, Madam, to support you!"
