When Xu Tianze heard Eunuch Quan's voice, he realized that he had just been busy arguing with the Sixth Prince, and most of the people in front of him had already come in.

Now it was his turn, and Xu Tianze was afraid that something might happen if he was late, so he patted the Sixth Prince's shoulder and hurried forward.

When Xu Tianze walked in, he smelled a strong smell of medicine. The whole room was quiet, with only the sound of slight breathing coming from the bed.

It was still daytime, but the room was dark as if dusk had fallen. Xu Tianze slowly walked to the bed.

It had only been a few days since we last saw each other, but the old man, who was once full of vigor and vitality, now looked haggard, with messy white hair scattered on the bed, and he had become emaciated.

This scene reminded Xu Tianze of a time not long ago when his master, Master Qi, was lying in bed quietly, no longer as energetic as before.

The two figures kept overlapping, causing Xu Tianze's eyes to turn red, and he trembled as he wanted to reach out and touch them.

"You're here." Emperor Gan slowly opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes no longer as sharp as an emperor's.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you." Xu Tianze came to his senses and knelt down to pay his respects.

No matter what, his distraction just now was rude after all. Fortunately, there were only two of them in the hall. If others saw them, they would probably misunderstand Xu Tianze's behavior as having bad intentions.

"Child, come and sit next to me." Emperor Gan waited for Xu Tianze to finish his ceremony, and spoke in a gentle tone, as if he was coaxing a child.

Xu Tianze hesitated for a moment, but still sat down next to Emperor Gan.

Logically speaking, Emperor Gan is now at the end of his strength and should not be so calm. After all, there will be a fight between the princes next.

This is also what Emperor Gan has never wanted to see, so he has been practicing the way of balance to hone his skills.

In addition, Xu Tianze had already learned from Xiaozhanzi that problems had occurred with several important concubines in the harem. If it were not for this incident, Emperor Gan would not have been so angry that he would not have fallen to the ground and even been unable to recover.

"Child, I, no, your royal father wants to ask you a favor." Emperor Gan held Xu Tianze's hand, his tone filled with guilt and pleading.

He was not a good king, nor a good father. Now, facing his son who had been exploited by him, he was filled with shame.

"How did you know?" When Xu Tianze heard Emperor Gan's self-proclaimed title, his pupils shrank at first, and then he asked in a deep voice.

He had long known that Emperor Gan had always had excellent control over the palace, and he had only let some fish in for the purpose of fishing.

He also thought that sooner or later Emperor Gan would find out about his life experience, but he didn't expect that Emperor Gan would confess it directly to him, which caught him off guard.

Emperor Gan felt that Xu Tianze wanted to pull back his hand, so he held it tightly. Feeling that Xu Tianze did not pull it out forcefully in the end, he felt a little bit of comfort in his heart and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After all, given Emperor Gan’s current state, if Xu Tianze really wanted to forcibly pull his hand out, Emperor Gan would have no way to stop him.

"You have always been smart. This is what the three of us old guys agree on."

"Xue Cui is yours." Xu Tianze's words were both a question and an affirmation.

Xu Tianze had never doubted Xue Cui before. You have to know that anyone who can be the personal maid of Concubine Shu must be a dowry maid, and the loyalty of such a servant is the most reliable.

It was just that Emperor Gan's ambiguous words just now made Xu Tianze think of the scene at that time. Even if Xue Cui listened to him and said there was no need to report it, she would have given Concubine Shu a hint.

Even if he didn't do any of these, but he left without entering the house, Xue Cui would definitely become suspicious, and then Concubine Shu would know that he knew the secret.

However, after he returned from the harem, he did not receive any news, and Concubine Shu did not say anything.

This means that Concubine Shu has no idea that he already knows the secret of her life experience. With this calculation, it is easy to judge that there is something wrong with Xue Cui.

"Hmph, Your Majesty is really good at scheming. He deserves to be able to get along with those two old guys." Xu Tianze sneered. Now he finally understood everything.

This was a plan jointly made by Emperor Gan, Xu Li, and Song Zhenjiang, but they did not directly target him at the beginning. They just wanted to test him, King Xian, and Song Yu.

In the end, they might not have originally intended him at all, but the Jiang family was eager to take the initiative, and the Xu family happened to be the one who took the blame, so they decided on him.

Then he had this tragic beginning and humiliating experience, and even after the game was over, he still had to be used as a waste.

Emperor Gan understood as soon as he heard it, and Xu Tianze finally realized that this game of chess between the three old guys had spanned more than twenty years, and all the choices they made during this period were for the final victory.

So the three of them had a clear conscience all the time, but when their children grew up and started to follow their plan, they couldn't help but regret it.

"Child, it is your father who has let you down." Tears kept flowing from Emperor Gan's eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. Xu Li is dead, and you're about to die. I'm afraid that old man in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is going to die too. In this case, I'm relieved. No one will manipulate my life from now on." Xu Tianze forcibly pulled his hand back, his tone indifferent.

But his constantly trembling voice and the redness in his eyes fully demonstrated that he was not as indifferent as he said.

"We owe you this. In the next life, in the next life, father will make it up to you." Emperor Gan's intermittent voice echoed in his crying voice.

"Why should I meet you again in my next life? I'm telling you, I hate Xu Li, I hate Song Zhenjiang, and I hate you too."

"Because of you, the first half of my life has been spent in a lie. Tell me, why should I meet you three again in my next life?"

Emperor Gan kept shaking his head, wanting to defend himself, but countless words gathered in his chest, making him depressed, and he had no way to express them.

It was for the sake of family and country, and for their own selfish schemes, that they ended up ruining their own children's lives, making their children live in extreme pain, and even spend the rest of their lives in misery.

It was also they who made their innocent children willingly die, and in the end they couldn't even leave behind a bloodline.

"Go to hell! When you die, remember to tell that bastard Xu Li down there that I will kill Xu An, Qing Yuan, and Song Yu. I will make sure that old bastard has no descendants." Xu Tianze had a maniacal smile on his face, and every word he said was heartbreaking. "You are no exception, and neither is that old bastard Song Zhenjiang."

"My child, you won't do that. Your father knows what kind of person you are." Emperor Gan's eyes were full of heartache, and he was not shocked at all by Xu Tianze's words.
