"No, you ......" The emperor raised his head, his white figure was printed in those deep eyes, and there were already some fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, without the look of his youth, but with some years of accumulation.

His lips opened slightly, as if something was brewing, and at last, with difficulty, he spoke, "Do you know...... I ...... to you"

"I know." Zhishan interrupted him suddenly.

There was a sudden silence in the entire imperial study.

That silence seemed to have a thousand pounds of pressure on everyone's heart.

The emperor always felt that the secrets that had been blocked in his heart for so many years had already been seen through by him.

But think about it carefully, there are so many concubines in his harem who look like him, and even the seventh and tenth look more and more like him when they grow up, all of this is already so obvious, how can he, who has thousands of years of Taoism and experience, not see it......

The emperor sat back on the dragon chair with some dejection, and the expression on his face seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

"So you already knew......" he muttered, but there was endless decadence in his voice.

Zhishan frowned slightly, looking at his appearance, he felt a little unbearable in his heart.

"No wonder...... It's no wonder that later, you entered the palace less and less, and no wonder you would rather go to Qingxinguan to stay than come to the capital. The emperor's lips trembled slightly, as if he recalled the events of these years, and there was a sudden pain in his heart.

"You are the emperor." Zhishan hesitated for a long time, and finally could only comfort him with these four words.

"Yes, as the emperor, you must shoulder the responsibility of your subjects, and you must leave heirs for the world." The emperor's eyes looked at the ground, his pair of yellow boots, and sighed: "But so what, I got the world, but I can't get the ...... I want most."

Zhishan frowned slightly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"If I can't get it, I've always thought that you are dedicated to cultivating immortals, so I thought that since I can't get it, the people next to me can't get it, so that my heart will feel better, how many days and nights in this palace, I am nostalgic for the days before I didn't ascend the throne, and I called you brothers and sisters, and traveled in the mountains and rivers......" The emperor seemed to have finally come back to his senses, looking at the beautiful face of Zhishan, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said: "I didn't expect that one day, I saw you fall in love with a mortal woman, and willingly gave up thousands of years of Taoism for her and washed away the demon bones......"

“……”

Zhishan and the emperor, for a while, were relatively speechless.

"The emperor didn't come here today to talk about this." After a long time, Zhishan finally decided to put an end to the topic.

“……”

The emperor just looked at him blankly and did not speak.

“…… Father?? Zhishan hesitated, but still shouted these two words at him.

The emperor suddenly woke up like a big dream, looking at Zhishan, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse and low: "Yes, it's not for the sake of saying this......"

"Erchen listens to you." Zhishan clenched his hands into fists and said respectfully towards the emperor with an expressionless face.

"Otherwise, you're trying to draw a line with me!!" The emperor let out a long sigh and said in a sad tone.
