Xu Rao leaned close to the Marquis and whispered, "Father, should we leave for a while?" It's better not to know such palace secrets. Who knows when the Emperor might be in a bad mood and, remembering when they had seen him in a sorry state, might give him a hard time, whether openly or secretly.

Lord Yongning sighed and said, "It's alright. Didn't you see that Prime Minister Feng and Prime Minister Fu are here? We'll leave whenever His Majesty tells us to."

Emperor Liang Cheng's voice rose a few decibels as he said, "The Great Liang Dynasty has existed for 123 years. Since it came to my hands, I haven't slept a single night in peace. I worry about whether the people of the world have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear. I also have to support the soldiers on the surrounding borders to protect the peace of the Great Liang territory. But what about you? One by one, you, for your own selfish desires, knowing full well that the other party has ill intentions, you only want to satisfy your own greed, trading the territory of the Great Liang with others, using the lives of the people of the Great Liang as your pledge of allegiance. How wonderful, how wonderful!" Emperor Liang Cheng's tone was filled with grief and indignation, and even through the wall, Xu Rao could feel the deep disappointment in Emperor Liang Cheng's heart.

The father is to blame for not teaching his son. These princes were all Emperor Liang Cheng’s own children, but they committed acts of treason, which crossed Emperor Liang Cheng’s bottom line. You can use open schemes or intrigues to achieve your goals, that’s your own ability. But you can’t use the ancestral legacy as a bargaining chip to do such a thing. You really deserve to be torn to pieces.

There was a long silence outside. Xu Rao raised her hand and touched Xu Di's forehead. His forehead was sweaty, but not hot, which put Xu Rao at ease.

Xu Di's forehead was touched by his father. He looked up and smiled at Xu Rao. The Marquis of Yongning felt aches in his legs and feet. Seeing that there was still some space on the couch where Xu Di was lying, he simply sat down. Xu Di quickly lay down to the side. Xu Rao was a little anxious. He wished that things outside would end quickly so he could take Xu Di home and have Chen Zhaoci take a good look at Xu Di's wounds.
