Chapter 323: Guilt

Emperor Renjing said in a deep voice.

"Xuan."

Although he was already trying his best to suppress it, there was still anger in his tone.

Outside the imperial study, Murong Heng stepped into the imperial study wearing a dark costume.

As soon as he walked in, he sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and Emperor Renjing and Prince Rong were tense.

His eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward.

"Father."

"Why are you here?"

Emperor Renjing's voice softened a little.

Murong Heng spoke slowly, his voice carrying an innate indifference.

"Erchen originally had something to say to his father, but depending on the situation, it seems that his father and Prince Rong still have something to discuss, so it is better for Erchen to come back later."

"No need, Prince Rong and I have something to say, and it has something to do with you."

"Oh?"

Murong Heng stood still, and his noble face was dyed with a smile that did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

"Please also ask my father to elaborate."

Emperor Renjing briefly explained the matter with some unhappiness.

After listening, Murong Heng's eyes fell on Su Sheng beside him, and his tone was mocking.

"Prince Rong really cares about King Rui, Gu was assassinated before, why didn't Prince Rong enter the palace to beg his father and let the Inspectorate and the Criminal Department get involved?"

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"King Rui is my nephew, so I am naturally worried about his safety."

"Do you remember that Prince Rong also called you 'uncle'?"

Su Sheng turned his head and met Murong Heng's unwavering eyes.

His gaze swept over Murong Heng's face.

In fact, he looks a little like himself.

When he was a child, he did follow him, stretched out his little hand and pulled the placket of his clothes, and shouted "uncle".

In their bones, they shed similar blood.

Su Sheng looked away, his voice indifferent.

"This 'uncle' is also a difference between intimacy and alienation."

"It's a good intimacy."

The ridicule in Murong Heng's eyes became more and more obvious: "But King Rui is the son of his father, and his father is not as anxious as his uncle, and his uncle is so eager to stand up for King Rui, I am afraid that it will cause bad criticism." ”

Su Sheng snorted coldly.

"After so many years, is there less criticism of me in the DPRK and China?"

He didn't care.

Murong Heng's eyes were faint.

"Uncle is bohemian and doesn't care, but the father will care, King Rui will care, including the queen mother, he will also care."

Hearing the last sentence, Su Sheng's eyes were stunned, and the hand in his sleeve tightened slightly.

Seeing Su Sheng's expression change slightly, Emperor Renjing's originally angry mood finally improved.

He leaned back in the dragon chair behind him and said coldly.

"King Rui's matter, Dali Temple has given the result, if there are any questions in the future, I have my own decision! Now that the Queen Mother has just entered the Imperial Mausoleum, I am worried that Prince Rong has nothing else to do, so don't step into the imperial study anymore in the near future! ”

This means that he is driving Su Sheng away.

Su Sheng's eyes were cold, and he stood in place, not moving for a while.

Until Murong Heng's displeased voice sounded beside him.

"Didn't my uncle hear what my father said?"

He turned his head, and his eyes were indifferent from the past, revealing a heavy intent.

Su Sheng met his gaze, and he was in a trance.

Everyone in the world is Prince Daorong's arrogant and uninhibited behavior, but who knows that this sick prince of the East Palace is not bloodthirsty and terrible in his bones?

If it really touched his death hole, Murong Heng might make a more rebellious move than him.

Su Sheng hooked the corners of his lips and sneered.

After that, he bowed his head towards Emperor Renjing, shook his wide sleeves, and turned around and walked out.

When Su Sheng's figure disappeared outside the imperial study, Emperor Renjing's expression completely collapsed.

"Rebels and thieves!"

He put the cup in his hand down heavily, and spilled half a cup of tea.

After calming down a little, he looked at Murong Heng.

"Heng'er, why did you come to me?"

Murong Heng looked at him.

"Erchen knew that his father was in a bad mood, and wanted to come to comfort him, but he didn't want to meet Prince Rong who was unhappy with his father here."

Emperor Renjing let out a sigh, then coughed a few times.

He waved.

"He's not like this for a day, and you don't know it...... Wang Defu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is frail and gives a seat. ”

"Yes."

Wang Defu immediately moved a mahogany chair and let Murong Heng sit down.

Another cup of tea was served.

"Or do you understand me."

Emperor Renjing's face showed a trace of exhaustion: "The Queen Mother is my biological mother, and she has been treating me sincerely all these years, and now that she is gone, I feel that my heart is empty, and I will ...... in the future I don't know who else can do this to me. ”

"Father said with a smile, there are so many concubines in the harem, there are always people who are sincere to you, not to mention, you also have sons."

Hearing this, Emperor Renjing smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

"Speaking of which, the son has something to ask his father."

Murong Heng's slender fingers held the lid of the cup, and he plucked the floating leaves in the tea lightly or heavily.

"It seems that the father has never mentioned the queen mother, can you talk to the son?"

Hearing him say that the first empress, Emperor Renjing's eyes froze for a moment.

Remembering that the Empress Dowager Jing'an summoned Murong Heng alone before she died, his heart instantly lifted slightly.

"Why did you suddenly ask about your mother?"

"It's just a feeling."

Murong Heng's expression was calm: "My father is so sad that the emperor's grandmother has passed away, thinking about the time when Erchen's biological mother died, Erchen had just been born, and he hadn't even seen her appearance, so he ......"

Murong Heng raised his head.

"So can my father talk to his son about his biological mother?"

Emperor Renjing's scrutinizing gaze fell on his face, wanting to see if there was some truth in his words, but he met Murong Heng's calm gaze.

It seems that all suspicion is his suspicion.

Emperor Renjing thought for a moment, and then said in a low voice.

"Wan'er...... It's my beloved. ”

Murong Heng's hand that was originally playing with the lid of the cup paused slightly, and after a few seconds, it returned to normal.

He narrowed his eyes.

"Then presumably my father, I must miss my mother very much?"

"I miss her, I miss her very much...... Your queen mother is the most virtuous and gentle woman in the world, and she is also the most loving woman in the world, if she is there, she will definitely love you very much, but...... It's just that she's blessed. ”

Emperor Renjing rarely showed a weak posture, as if he remembered something from the past that he didn't dare to look back on.

Murong Heng listened quietly, and then said.

"If the queen mother hears this, she will be very moved."

Hearing this, Emperor Renjing's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.

Impressed......

She's afraid she's going to think it's ridiculous, right?

laughed at his hypocrisy and benevolence, and was not worthy of being her husband.

Thinking of Su Wan'er's delicate and gentle face, Emperor Renjing suddenly felt that his heart was blocked uncomfortably, and he felt a strong sense of guilt.

But if he could do it all over again, would he make another choice?
