Chapter 294 Is It Because I Don’t Want To?
"Bei Qin is lucky. When that man was executed, Your Majesty and I could only hide in the palace to pay tribute secretly, because the late emperor was not as indulgent to his children as he was."
"The body was thrown into a mass grave. Later, when Your Majesty ascended the throne, all the honors he bestowed upon him were conferred upon him, but he could only be given a cenotaph."
"If you really feel guilty, go back and secretly burn some paper money and light a lamp."
Xu Chengzhou bowed and said, "Thank you, father."
However, Xu Chengzhou's mood did not improve. He looked listless for several days, which made Mrs. Xu anxious.
She complained to Xu Lanqi: "Da Lang has been in a very low mood recently. Today, he refused to eat."
"I brought the food to his room. He ate it, but he didn't touch it."
"I have tried to persuade him a lot, but it doesn't work. You can go and have a look."
"Let's not make a fool of ourselves by starving children to death."
Xu Lanqi knocked on the door outside her son's room.
A weak voice came from inside: "Come in."
He pushed the door open and saw his stupid son staring out the window in a daze, his dying body.
Xu Lanqi walked over and advised: "It's okay to be sad, but you still need to eat."
"Don't let your body collapse by then and be buried with him?"
Xu Chengzhou came back to his senses from his lifeless state.
"Aye, I just think it's too sudden."
"In the past, I felt sorry for the sufferings of ordinary people because their lives were like floating duckweed."
"I am glad that I have a good background."
"Bei Qin is also a nobleman, extremely intelligent and highly respected."
"But I still can't help myself. If I'm not careful, I'll be implicated."
"It came too suddenly. I wonder if I will also be caught off guard..."
There was a slap on the mouth.
"What are you talking about? Am I such a tactless person?"
Xu Chengzhou whispered: "What if there are people in the Nine Clans who don't know their limits?"
"There are so many people, I can't even remember all their names, let alone know them."
Xu Lanqi:......
"If it's a little further away, all ten clans might be implicated."
"Aye has so many students that you can't even remember their number."
Xu Lanqi:......
He gave his son a slap in the face.
"You stupid kid, why are you acting like a jinx here? Pah, pah, pah!"
After being hit, Xu Chengzhou shut up honestly, but he was also worried about another problem: "Father, His Majesty is so angry with the prince this time."
"Will she be okay?"
"No matter what, placing the crown prince under house arrest is a big deal."
"In the history books, it seems that the crown prince being confined to his home represents a rift between father and son."
He pressed his fingers on the windowsill, hoping to get a reassuring answer.
Fortunately, the answer given by my father was good: "Although I am not sure, based on my understanding of His Majesty, he just wants the child to reflect on his mistakes."
“It’s not as big a deal as outsiders think.”
"but......"
Xu Lanqi held his son's shoulder and asked in confusion, "I asked you to seduce the prince, but now it's already here, why haven't you taken the throne yet?"
"You're not in a high position, so why worry? It won't implicate you."
Xu Chengzhou retorted in a low voice: "Is it because I don't want to go that I don't go?"
In the palace, Bei Jingchu, who had calmed down, went to the Xuanshi Hall to pay her respects to the emperor. The emperor did not say much, but just had dinner in the hall like he did when they were children.
The third brother was also here and was left behind with them. The child did not bury his head in his meal as usual, but stared at her with his eyes eagerly.
