When the crown prince went to look for the emperor, the emperor happened to be in the imperial study.

There was no one else in the Imperial Study, only him and the Emperor.

The prince was still a little uncomfortable. He knelt down, got up, then smiled at the emperor, and said, "Speaking of which, this is the first time that a son has come to his father's place, and he has not waited outside. ”

In the past, whenever and wherever he came, he was the one who could wait outside. He came in the front, and he only had to wait for the adults in the back to finish speaking before he could go in, and if he came in the back, he had to wait for the front to come out.

He never resented. He only stood outside sometimes and occasionally looked at the sky boringly, and a few birds would fly in the sky.

He envied them.

They don't have to be scolded. I was scolded and I couldn't understand it anyway.

Unlike him, he's going to be scolded later.

He said calmly: "But Erchen looks up at the sky, only occasionally. Most of the time, I am still thinking about how to answer correctly in order to avoid being scolded. ”

When he said this, he smiled, "King Jin is actually quite happy. Although he is also a pawn of his father, his father is very good to him, he doesn't want to think about what he did wrong every day, don't panic every day, and what he has done wrong. ”

He looked at the emperor, "Father, these days, the ministers are always thinking, is my life worth it?" ”

When the emperor saw him like this, he didn't react. The prince never dared to speak like this in front of him.

A wave of irritation welled up in his heart, "Shouke, what do you mean by this?" Are you questioning me? ”

The crown prince raised his head and looked directly, "Why can't you ask?" Although his son has done many wrong things over the years, which father, like you, regards his son as an enemy? I really can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, so I just think day and night, what's wrong with me! Why am I so stupid! But father, I am also familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and I am not bad for the first time compared with those talents, if I was born in an ordinary family, maybe I can earn a reputation for you - how bad am I to let you insult and suppress again and again when I was so young, so that I can't raise my head! ”

The emperor was so angry that he wanted to go over and beat him, but he was speechless by what he said, so he had to hit the table angrily: "Rebel, do you think that you have done something right, so you can come to me and accuse me in front of me?" ”

The prince looked at him fixedly, and suddenly found that his father was not so terrible, he was old, his sideburns had gray hair, and his face was wrinkled, and he was so angry that he had to hammer the table like this every time he was angry, so that he could look more imposing.

It turns out that this is also learning from my father.

He has always imitated his father, but he has not imitated it.

He looked at the emperor who was still angry, and suddenly asked, "Why-why did you only give King Jin sweet wine dumplings and not give them to me?" ”

"Daddy, why don't you give me a bowl of sweet wine dumplings?"

His voice was hoarse, as if he was questioning, as if he was innocent like a child, "Daddy, obviously I and the King of Jin are in front of you, why do you refuse to give me a bowl of rice balls to eat." ”

The emperor was stunned, "What? ”

The prince stepped forward slowly and asked again and again, "That year, Liuli Kingdom offered two longevity locks, obviously there are two pieces, obviously you can get a piece of King Jin and I have one, why does Daddy ...... Why did I get angry because I didn't recite the 12th chapter of the Analects and threw my piece down? ”

"Obviously, King Jin didn't recite it, but his father said that he was still young...... He's not much younger than me, so why can he have it and I can't. ”

But the emperor remembered nothing.

He laughed and said, "Stupid! You are the prince, you are going to inherit the throne in the future, you are going to become the co-lord of the world, what sweet wine dumplings, what longevity lock, you remember these things clearly, when it is your turn to do great things, you run faster than anyone else. ”

"I don't pretend to be you, but it's also for your good, if I hadn't been strict with you for so many years, would you be what you are now?"

The prince retorted loudly, "It's not you - it's not you who scolded, suppressed, and hit me that made me where I am today, and I can still be what I am now, it's Taifu, it's the Taifu who you haven't given him a truth so far!" ”

"If you don't give me sweet wine dumplings, Taifu will cook them for me personally. You reprimanded me in front of Lan Shi, which made me angry with Lan Shi, it was Taifu who disobeyed me, and still treated me and Lan Shi equally, so that I had a brother, not just resentful King Jin. ”

"It's Taifu! It was Taifu who knew that you smashed the longevity lock, and made me another piece, and he told me that when I was born, you loved me, and you were afraid that I would not grow up, so you named me Shouke...... I don't need this longevity lock at all, I was meant to live a long life......"

When he said this, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground, and the emperor's eyes widened, "Shouke!" What happened to you! ”

The prince felt that his internal organs were rolling, and it turned out that the poison was so painful.

He tried to mutter: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Shouke is not afraid, it's okay all at once, it's over soon, work hard, be brave......"

"Right away, you'll be able to see Taifu—"

When the Emperor came to him and hugged him, he heard these words.

The emperor was very compassionate, "Call the Imperial Doctor, call the Imperial Doctor-"

As a result, as soon as the words came out, he was pulled by the crown prince's sleeve, and he shook his head hard, "It's too late, I can't save it, doesn't my father want me to die?" You see, I'm going to die, Shouke, Shouke's life, I'll give it back to you...... I've given it back to you. ”

"From now on, you will never have a son to disgrace you so much, and I, I will not make you angry again. Dad...... I listen to you, I will die, you will give me a violent death, and from now on, no one will say stupid things in front of your eyes. ”

The emperor was so grieved that he shouted hoarsely: "Shouke, Shouke! Daddy didn't mean that, Daddy...... Daddy is wrong, wrong, don't be like this, don't be like this......"

The crown prince was already tired, he saw the emperor like this, he suddenly felt a little relieved, he stretched out his hand, wanted to touch the emperor's face, and said tremblingly: "Son...... Before my son died, I was really happy to see my father crying instead of scolding me, and I have no regrets in this life. ”

"It's just that the father, for the sake of his son's dying sake, kill Zhenguo Gong and let him go down to accompany me."

"My son is sorry for Taifu, I'm sorry for Lan Shi, I'm sorry for Zhaozhao, but I want to be worthy of Yingniang."

"I can only use this life to be worthy of her, Zhenguo Mansion, just kill Zhen Guogong alone...... Ahri, Ahri can be helped by his uncle instead of Zhenguogong, isn't it also good? ”

He tried hard to laugh, but his mouth couldn't stop bleeding, it was really uncomfortable, his breath became weaker and weaker, and he grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said, "Daddy, please, my son has never begged you for anything...... And then I beg you only this one thing...... Let Taifu and Lanshi, let Yingniang, let me ...... Let's at least be worth it. ”
