"Beast! How could I have given birth to such a beast? He even forgot about his country in the fight for power."
The emperor was so angry that his hands were shaking. He suddenly grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at Prime Minister Su.
"And you, I thought I treated you well, yet you colluded with the Northern Rong in order to support Prince Qing's ascension to the throne."
"Who gave you the courage to do whatever you want to this extent?!"
"I can do this only because of your Majesty's indulgence. Your Majesty, don't forget that you are so devoted to all things that you let me help you handle state affairs."
"You are afraid of King Xiao and the Duke of Zhenguo. I am here to help Your Majesty solve his problems. Why is Your Majesty unhappy?" Prime Minister Su raised his eyes and sneered at the emperor.
At that time, he was a new minister and was promoted to prime minister by His Majesty.
However, His Majesty was afraid of the Prince Xiao's Mansion and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion left by the late Emperor, and often angrily accused them of rebellion.
The emperor looked at him angrily and said, "The Duke of Zhenguo is my father-in-law and my martial arts teacher. I respect him and I fear him."
"So what if I complain privately?"
He became emperor at a young age and had no confidants around him, so the Duke of Zhenguo and King Xiao were very strict with him.
At that time, he treated Su as a friend, but he never thought that it would foster his ambition.
"When did I ever say I hated him and wanted him to die?"
"Who do you take me for? Su Ming, I really misjudged you!"
"Huh? Your Majesty, if it weren't for your indulgence, how could I have done this?" Prime Minister Su curled his lips and continued.
"Besides, if Prince Jin can become the crown prince, why can't Prince Qing? Since you have given Prince Qing the opportunity, why can't he fight for this position?"
"Just like your majesty promoted me and made me the prime minister, wasn't it to tell me that as long as I am willing to fight for it, I will definitely be able to fight for my own position."
Ruanruan looked at the emperor on the stage, who was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames, and tugged at Ruan Qichuan's clothes.
"Dad, what are they talking about? Ruanruan doesn't understand a word they say."
Ruan Qichuan patted her little head and said, "Adult matters are too complicated. Ruanruan doesn't need to understand."
Ruanruan scratched her ears and looked up at Zhao Chengqian, "Brother Xiaogan, do you understand?"
Zhao Chengqian thought about it and decided to tell Ruanruan in words that he thought Ruanruan could understand.
"Well, Prime Minister Su blamed my Royal Grandfather for being too kind to him. This caused him to become a little arrogant and think he could take anything from my Royal Grandfather."
"In order to take the position that my royal grandfather left for my father, he betrayed my royal grandfather and conspired with outsiders to kill my great-grandfather and others, and then he wanted to kill my father."
Zhao Chengqian listened to the conversation between the emperor and Prime Minister Su and the others while translating for Ruanruan: "Now he is blaming my grandfather for being too kind to him and making him greedy."
The emperor was so angry at Prime Minister Su that he was about to vomit blood, but when he suddenly heard his grandson discussing his conversation with Prime Minister Su, he fell silent.
The emperor didn't say anything, and the people around him didn't dare to speak either. The hall gradually became quiet again.
All I heard was Zhao Chengqian whispering to Ruanruan.
"I think that whatever my father has, my uncle, Prince Qing, must have it too."
Zhao Chengqian continued, "But how can we compare people? Some are born smart, some are born stupid, and some are born with immense strength..."
Ruanruan shrank her neck and said, "Yes, yes, eh..."
"My godfather is so great. People in Youzhou praise my godfather, and people in Qingzhou also praise my godfather." Ruanruan raised her head proudly, her face full of pride.
"Your uncle, Prince Qing, the Emperor, assigned him a task, but he fell ill before he could even finish it, right?"
Zhao Chengqian nodded, "It's him."
Ruanruan lowered her voice and asked doubtfully, "He's too weak. Is he the Emperor's biological son?"
She thought that no one could hear her complaints, but in fact, all the adults around her were eavesdropping on their conversation with their ears perked up.
"Let me tell you, when I was in kindergarten, Dazhuang from the next class was naughty and mischievous every day. Later, his father suspected that he was not his biological son."
"So... I took him for a paternity test, and found out that he really isn't his father's son... I heard from the kids in the kindergarten that he's his nanny's son, who was swapped with his father's son. The swapped-for son is really big and strong, and... so cute and smart." Ruanruan muttered softly.
Ruan Ruan put her hands in her pockets and said, "Your uncle, Prince Qing, always asks people to take care of him. When he went to Qingzhou, he just lay in his room every day and asked Ruan Ruan to treat his illness."
"He got angry when Ruanruan didn't give him anything. He's so old, but he's even more childish than Ruanruan."
"Oh my, Ruanruan almost forgot. Last time he fainted, it was Ruanruan who saved his life. That sissy father-in-law next to him even scolded Ruanruan."
"He also said that Ruanruan was impolite and refused to kneel down to him. Humph... who does he think he is?" Ruanruan got angry when she thought of this.
Ruanruan clenched her fists angrily. "He said he would repay Ruanruan for saving his life, but in the end he didn't give Ruanruan anything. This big liar doesn't even keep his word."
"Huh! You're such a grown-up, but you're still so ignorant."
"Brother Xiaogan, you must not learn from him."
Zhao Chengqian nodded seriously, "No, I look like my father."
"Hehe, um, um, I knew that little brother Gan was the best." Ruanruan licked her lips and said in a baby voice.
She suddenly noticed that the people around her were unusually quiet. She glanced around puzzledly and found that everyone was looking at her.
