The palace maids in the imperial study brought the meals one by one, and Yan Chen happened to come too.

Yan Lie looked at this son, and felt that it was indeed a little different from before, and the whole person was much more decadent. The previous air of arrogance is gone.

He didn't know what Yan Chen was decadent for, and he didn't know if this change was good or bad, but he hoped it was good.

"Sit down and dine with me." Yan Lie looked at him for a moment and said lightly.

The emperor has never dined with others, and Yan Chen was flattered by such love, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Erchen doesn't dare." ”

"We are kings and ministers, and we are also father and son, I will sit down if you ask you to sit down." Yan Lie said persistently.

There was no such preference for Yan Chen in his memory, if he had been before, he would definitely suspect that Yan Lie had another calculation like this. But in the past few days, he has been tortured physically and mentally by the truth that Sheng Langyue told him, and he has no extra energy to suspect what Yan Lie is trying to calculate. Seeing Yan Lie's persistence, he sat down in fear.

Eating without saying a word, this rule is very strictly enforced in the palace, they quietly finished eating, Yan Lie asked: "I heard that you hid in the palace and drank wine two days ago, is there something tricky?" ”

"Huh?" Yan Chen raised his head and looked at Yan Lie in surprise, he didn't expect Yan Lie to ask this question.

On the way here, he kept thinking about what Yan Lie called him into the palace at this time, and he also thought that it was for today's Sheng Langyue, and the only reason he could think of was Yan Lie's search for him.

Yan Lie saw his reaction, and Mama sighed, and had to admit that he owed something to this son. Sometimes it's really not a good thing to be born in a royal family.

But it can't be said that there are no benefits at all, maybe Yan Chen wants to get too much, and he doesn't care about these anymore.

Temporarily blinded by those things outside the body, if you can't wake up for the rest of your life, then forget it, if you wake up halfway and find that you have abandoned the most precious things for those things outside your body, it will be very painful.

He looked at Yan Chen a bit like the latter now.

"Why have you been drinking heavily in the palace these days? I don't think you're that kind of person. He asked again.

Yan Chen was afraid that Yan Lie would see that something was wrong, so he subconsciously lowered his head and muttered for a while before saying: "It's just some annoying things, which make my father worry, it's not good for my son." ”

Yan Lie laughed: "There's nothing wrong with you, as a parent, there's nothing you don't worry about your children." But born in the royal family, compared with the children of ordinary families, the burden on your shoulders is heavier, and your shoulders are more bearable than ordinary people's. Hiding in the palace and drinking too much just for some annoying things is not what a prince should do. ”

"Yes." Yan Chen replied sullenly.

"If there's something you can't solve, it's okay to talk to me. In addition to being the Emperor, I am also your father. ”

Yan Chen had never heard such words in Yan Lie's mouth, and he never dared to expect it, he didn't expect to hear it in such a situation.

If Yan Lie had such an attitude towards him at the beginning, he probably wouldn't be like this now.

He still remembers that when he was a child, although Yan Ming did not have a mother, it was precisely because of this that he was able to grow up by Yan Lie's side. He watched Yan Lie personally teach Yan Ming's homework and martial arts, but he could only watch from the side.

He was surrounded by Mama, Master, but that was not what he wanted, he just wanted Yan Lie to love him as much as he did for Yan Ming.

Or you don't have to be like Yan Ming, as long as you have half of Yan Ming.

But for so many years, these were just his luxuries.

I didn't expect Yan Lie to say these words to him today, thinking of all the things in the past, thinking that it was suddenly possible to get what he wanted, and at this time, his heart was indescribable.

If he could, he really wanted to talk to Yan Lie about what he was struggling with now. But the truth is no, if he did, he would never get what he had longed for for a long time.

If he doesn't say it, he won't get it.

Thinking about it, he smiled bitterly, whether it was telling the truth or concealing it, what he longed for, and now the warmth that came to him still couldn't get it.

At this time, he couldn't help but resent Sheng Langyue and the Sheng family, why did they do such a thing, he was dragged into the abyss without realizing it, and he couldn't climb up again.

Seeing that he still didn't answer, Yan Lie was not reluctant, chuckled, and said: "I can't say it, forget it, the relationship between Nanyue and Qi Sheng is not very good now, I think there will be no less things to do next, if you have any troublesome things, you should solve them yourself quickly, and there will be things for you to do next." ”

Hearing Yan Lie say this, Yan Chen's mood was even more complicated, if Yan Lie's words had been said earlier, he dared to say that it would not be the current situation.

Yan Lie's warmth is what he has always longed for, and the opportunity he has always longed for, but now he can't grasp anything.

He didn't know what role Sheng Langyue and the Sheng family would play in it now that the war between South Vietnam and Qi Sheng had really broken out.

And what can he do?

Now he actually understands a little why Yan Lie has been guarding against him, looking at Yan Lie's attitude now, Yan Lie may not be guarding against him, but his mother and the backing he thinks he has.

"Alright, I see you're really tired, so let's go back and rest first, but remember what I told you today. Also, even if there is a big thing, I am the Son of Heaven and your father, and when the sky falls, there is nothing that I can't get by. Go back and get some rest. Yan Lie smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Yan Lie fled and left.

Li Quan had been listening to the side, and when he saw Yan Chen leaving, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why are you talking to King Liang about this?" ”

Yan Lie kept looking out of the door, the smile on the corner of his mouth was not clear, and there seemed to be a sense of sadness in his voice: "No matter what, he is my son, although I don't know why he is so depressed, but looking at his performance today, I believe that his heart is not bad." ”

As soon as he said this, Li Quan understood what he meant, and sighed leisurely. Yan Chen can be regarded as having grown up watching, and he has no way to evaluate who is right and who is wrong about the current situation, he can only say that it should be like this.

Yan Lie is not hard-hearted, but Sheng Langyue's position determines Yan Lie's attitude towards Yan Chen. Yan Chen's back is the rise and fall of the Sheng family and Sheng Langyue, but a real son of heaven should be burdened with the rise and fall of this country.

The existence of the Sheng family is a double-edged sword for Yan Chen, in the eyes of outsiders, it is Yan Chen's power, but it is also an obstacle for Yan Chen to become the emperor.
