Zhao Zhuo hadn’t seen the Emperor Emeritus in a very long time. Final time through the New Yr’s celebrations, he had been denied an viewers, with the excuse that the Emperor Emeritus’s well being wasn’t good and wanted recuperation.

In actuality, Zhao Zhuo knew the Emperor Emeritus wasn’t actually unwell; he merely didn’t need to see him. He may hear the laughter, noise, and music from the palace even when he stood exterior the corridor. In plain phrases, he was now not the favoured grandson of the Emperor Emeritus.

“Let’s see how lengthy your favour lasts!” Many occasions, Zhao Zhuo had such bitter and jealous ideas.

At the moment, the Emperor Emeritus unexpectedly summoned him to the palace, which shocked Zhao Zhuo. He couldn’t assist however recall a sure matter, and for a second, he felt uneasy.

“Grandfather Emperor…” His voice was full of sorrow, grievances, and even confusion, resentment, and different feelings.

When the Emperor Emeritus heard this voice, he couldn’t assist sighing. This was most likely one of the crucial significant phrases he heard at such an previous age. With out exception, these folks had been nothing good. In fact, this “nothing good” was based on Emperor Emeritus’s perspective.

“Rise up. Li Dequan, give him a seat.”

In some unspecified time in the future, the connection between the 2, Zhao Zuo and the Emperor Emeritus, had modified. Previously, every time Zhao Zuo got here to Qianqing Palace, they by no means handled one another as outsiders. However now, there was a way of ritual and restraint.

The Emperor Emeritus misplaced in thought, couldn’t recall if it was he who had modified or the opposite approach round. Maybe it began ever for the reason that crown prince was deposed. Nobody knew for certain.

“Have you ever learn any books not too long ago? Any excellent news from Wu-shi? It has been some time because you and Wu-shi acquired married, and the precedence ought to be on having offspring,” the Emperor Emeritus inquired.

Zhao Zuo replied one after the other, “Grandson has been idle not too long ago, studying ‘Analects with Annotations.’ When this grandson opened that ebook, this grandson remembered that you just, Grandfather, gave it to me when this grandson first began studying the 4 Classics. There are a lot of annotations written by your self, which made me treasure it drastically, and studying it once more brings again many recollections.”

“As for Wu-shi—”

The Emperor Emeritus remained silent, and Zhao Zuo couldn’t assist however take a look at him. His pupils instantly constricted on the sight.

Maybe when he returned, he would strive his finest to have a son, ideally twins, since his Grandfather Emperor appeared to love youngsters, didn’t he?

…

After sending away the 2 troublesome youngsters who insisted on going to Qianqing Palace, Yaoniang spoke to Emperor Jin’an, “It’s good to inform Father Emperor about this matter. It additionally prevents you from being caught within the center and avoids future grievances.”

Naturally, this matter referred to the actions that had occurred behind the scenes of that incident. Emperor Jin’an had hesitated to let Yaoniang deal with such issues, however he had agreed and allowed the required actions to be taken.

The so-called incident naturally refers to the truth that somebody was making strikes behind the scenes. Emperor Jin’an, who wasn’t utterly relaxed with Yaoniang dealing with such issues, gave her permission but additionally organized for An Yi to conduct some discreet investigating.

Who would have thought that An Yi would discover one thing surprising?

The thugs chargeable for accumulating money owed had performed such issues a number of occasions earlier than and had by no means induced a fatality. Nevertheless, this time, there was a mistake, they usually had been oblivious to the truth that somebody had tampered with their actions.

Given the present energy of Hui Wang Manor, they might solely interact in such underhanded actions secretly, however they didn’t count on to be found.

Nevertheless, Emperor Jin’an didn’t take motion towards Zhao Zuo. As an alternative, he handed the matter over to the Emperor Emeritus, and Yaoniang’s phrases had been fairly becoming on this context.

“You don’t want to fret an excessive amount of about this matter. It gained’t fire up any storms, it simply unfairly burdens you.”

“What’s there to be burdened about? Flies don’t chunk seamless eggs and I didn’t see him go after my older brother and the others. It’s additionally good to ship Li-shi again, so my sister gained’t all the time need to endure her.”

Emperor Jin’an nodded barely, his gaze shifting throughout her pristine face, and all of a sudden, his temper improved considerably.

“All proper, let’s not discuss this. Let’s discuss one thing else.”

“What ought to we discuss?”

As her eyes met him, her face blushed immediately.
