"..."

Emperor Chengqian frowned: "Are you mute?"

Li Youfu kicked the young eunuch: "The Emperor is asking you a question, and you're not answering? Have you really eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard?"

The young eunuch, who looked no more than seven or eight years old, fell to the ground after being kicked so hard by Li Youfu.

Emperor Chengqian glared at Li Youfu: "If you don't answer my questions, it's disrespectful and you'll lose your head."

Li Youfu: "..."

Why does he give off the feeling of an emperor coaxing a child?

"..."

At this point, Emperor Chengqian's last bit of patience was gone.

He waved his hand: "Take him away, give him ten lashes, and demote him to the Sinzheku (a place for laborers)."

These ten strokes of the cane are not heavy, in fact.

Li Youfu has been beaten quite a bit since he entered the palace.

Let alone ten strokes, he never missed fifty strokes in one go.

But with this young eunuch's physique, ten strokes of the cane wouldn't be a light punishment.

Of course, it's not heavy either.

To privately hold a memorial service for the dead in the palace is a crime equivalent to treason.

Be gentle, decapitation.

In more serious cases, it could mean the extermination of nine generations of one's family!

"Father..."

Just as Emperor Chengqian was about to set off, he suddenly heard a weak yet complex voice.

Father?

For a moment, Emperor Chengqian thought he might have misheard.

He turned to look at the young eunuch.

Li Youfu and another eunuch, who had been holding onto the young eunuch, quickly let go.

It looked like it had been scalded by something.

Di Bumie looked at Emperor Chengqian, the father who had given him life but made him live a life worse than a dog in this palace.

His feelings were very complicated.

He understood that his father was a great man.

Like all children who idolize their fathers, Di Bumie once greatly admired Emperor Chengqian.

But this worship.

Over the years, it has been almost completely erased.

But at this moment, Emperor Bumie subconsciously made a look of deep admiration.

There was also a hint of resentment mixed in with that expression.

If a child who has been neglected by his father for so many years has no resentment at all, it would be quite worrying.

Emperor Chengqian stared at Di Bumie for a long time before finally remembering his identity.

The moment he remembered, his face darkened.

It was completely black.

He thought of Di Bumie's mother, the woman who made him wear a green hat for her lover.

Emperor Chengqian looked at Di Bumie's face, which resembled that woman's. The scene he had witnessed that night in her palace still lingered in his mind.

He stepped off the sedan chair, grabbed Di Bumie by the neck, and lifted him up.

"you……"

After uttering a single word, Emperor Chengqian suddenly stopped.

There are two reasons.

First, he couldn't remember Di Bumie's name.

Secondly, there was the hatred on Di Bumie's face.

He subconsciously released Di Bumie, causing him to fall to the ground.

Emperor Chengqian suddenly remembered that although Emperor Bumie's mother had done something that disgraced the royal family.

But the Emperor is immortal; he is his son.

Li Youfu's eyes darted around quickly; he understood that Emperor Chengqian simply couldn't remember the identity of this thirteenth prince.

He quickly asked, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing Li Youfu's words, Emperor Chengqian indeed successfully recalled the name of Emperor Bumie.

Immediately afterwards, his expression changed.

When Di Bumie was born, he and that woman had a good relationship.

It can be said that the woman was the one to whom he truly gave his heart in his life.

Even if there isn't much genuine sincerity.

The name "Immortal" represents his feelings for her, which will never disappear.

But before he could change his mind, she used a humiliating method to extinguish that love.

Or rather, it turned into hatred!

"Father, today is the anniversary of Mother's death..."

"Shut up!"

Emperor Chengqian kicked Di Bumie far away.

He even kicked her unconscious!

When Emperor Chengqian realized what was happening, his face darkened even more.

Over the years, he has indeed almost forgotten that woman.

But the moment he saw Emperor Bumie, he knew that he had not forgotten.

That kind of humiliation, etched into his very bones, left a deep impression on him, the emperor.

"emperor?"

Damn it.

Li Youfu was scared half to death.

The Emperor was only this agitated on the day that one woman cuckolded him.

He looked at Di Bumie, who was unconscious with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, not far away, and felt a little unsure of what to do.

He knew that this prince was probably the least favored prince in the palace.

But he is, after all, a prince.

The emperor is currently in a state of rage. If he calms down later and blames him for not saving the immortal prince, he'll lose his head.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Bu Mie..."

"emperor!"

Before Li Youfu could finish speaking, he heard a delicate, sweet voice.

The sound instantly relieved Li Youfu.

I used to think that Consort Mei's voice was too delicate in front of the Emperor, but now I think it is clearly a heavenly sound.

Hua Rong stepped forward and took Emperor Chengqian's hand directly: "Your Majesty, I heard from several servants that Your Majesty was going to Cangmei Palace, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that those servants were really telling me. I am overjoyed."

Emperor Chengqian looked at Hua Rong with a furious expression in his eyes.

But amidst the rage, there was also a hint of confusion.

After recognizing Hua Rong, he suddenly hugged her and buried his head in her neck.
