Chapter 395 He, the father, became an outsider
"It's all because of you, you bastard. You tricked that clueless guy of mine into guarding the city gate. Don't you know how dangerous that place is? With his brain like that, he won't even know if he gets sold out."
"He's still trying to catch the rebels. Don't let them take him hostage!"
Duke Xie was really angry with Xie Yuheng.
Panting heavily.
Tiger stared at Shen Zhao with wide eyes.
"Withdraw the order you gave to that fool and tell him to go home and reflect on his actions."
"Otherwise, if I can't discipline him, I'll deal with you."
Xie Yuheng immediately jumped up and said:
"Old Xie..."
Duke Xie glared suddenly.
Xie Yuheng immediately changed his tone and pleaded:
"Dad, you can't do this!"
"How can I vent my anger on you? Besides, Brother Chu is now the Prince of Loyalty. If you punish him, it would be a violation of your authority and you will be punished."
Then he turned to Shen Zhao and said:
"Brother Chu, you can't listen to my father. We are in the same group. You can't turn your elbow outward."
Shen Zhao held his forehead and said, "There's actually no need to talk if you can't speak."
Xie Yuheng's words of disloyalty completely infuriated Duke Xie.
It seems that the child he has raised for more than ten years treats him as an outsider!
Instead, this man surnamed Chu became his relative.
This dead kid!
Xie Yuheng saw that Brother Chu didn't say anything.
I saw my father's face turn from black to blue, and from blue to black, changing unpredictably like a color palette.
He knew his father was furious.
Woohoo…
I choked up and almost cried out of grievance.
Doesn’t he just want to achieve great things?
Why is it so difficult?
Other families are eager to grab some credit for their own children.
His father, on the other hand, tried every possible means to prevent him from becoming successful.
He knew his father's worries, fearing that he would be hurt.
But he is no longer a child, he has the ability to protect himself.
He really isn't as bad as his father imagined.
Xie Yuheng said to his father in a flattering tone:
"Dad, I've listened to you and retired from the army. Can you let me be myself for once?"
"I promise that once this crisis is over, I will stay home with you and listen to you, okay..."
Duke Xie's eyes were slightly moist as he listened to the second half of Xie Yuheng's words.
I feel so uncomfortable that I can’t describe it.
This silly kid doesn't know yet.
Once this crisis is resolved, he will leave the Xie Mansion and return to where he really belongs.
Respect those he truly deserves.
"Dad, this is just the first time, there won't be a next time. Just promise me."
As he spoke, Xie Yuheng shook Duke Xie's sleeve.
Duke Xie felt a little soft-hearted when he saw Xie Yuheng's little movements.
The child was still the same as when he was little, tugging at his sleeves and looking at him with admiration, calling him in a soft voice.
"Daddy, hug me~"
Maybe he shouldn't have disciplined him so harshly.
But nothing can happen to him.
Heng'er is the only child of His Majesty and Concubine Hui. If something happens to Heng'er, how can he explain to His Majesty?
How to face Concubine Hui?
If he doesn't agree to this child now.
Heng'er must be disappointed with his father.
Duke Xie looked at Shen Zhao threateningly.
The meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
That means she has to be the bad guy.
"My Lord, the Third Young Master is no longer a child. It is indeed time for him to make great achievements."
When Shen Zhao said this, Xie Yuheng raised his head. Brother Chu still understood him.
Duke Xie was furious, and this man surnamed Chu also came out to disagree with him.
Does he know who Yu Heng is!
Looking at Duke Xie who seemed to be about to eat him, Shen Zhao said calmly:
"The Duke wouldn't want Yu Heng to achieve nothing in the court after this crisis, I guess.
Who would believe him if he was just the third son of the Xie family?
Duke Xie's pupils suddenly constricted.
Does this guy named Chu know something?
"Can the Duke promise to protect Yu Heng for the rest of his life?
Can we guarantee that he will have the ability and courage to face the storms he has to face in the future?
I know that the Duke wants to protect Yu Heng and not let him get into danger.
But the Duke is definitely not an ordinary person, and what he has to face is something that ordinary people cannot bear.
So, does the Duke still want to trap him in the inner room?"
Shen Zhao's questions made Duke Xie fall into deep thought.
He knew that Yuheng was different from others.
What we have to face is extremely dangerous.
But he didn't want to let him go out to face the storm now.
He doesn't have much time left to protect Heng'er.
Do you really want this brat to face all this too early?
Xie Yuheng couldn't understand the meaning of Shen Zhao's words.
But I saw my father thinking about what Brother Chu said.
He knew that Brother Chu was smarter than him, even smarter than his father, and he could convince his father.
Duke Xie glanced at Yu Heng, who looked expectant.
He glanced at Chu Mu again, who disagreed with him.
He let out a long sigh.
"Heng'er, if you can obtain the emperor's decree, he will assign you to guard the city gate.
Dad doesn't care anymore."
Xie Yuheng's eyes lit up instantly.
"Dad, are you serious?"
"You must not deceive the child!"
"I will go and ask His Majesty to allow me to guard the city gate."
As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked towards Lu's study.
"Dad, you and Brother Chu just walk slowly behind, I'll go ahead."
He was afraid that if he walked too slowly, his father would change his mind.
Xie Yuheng was very confident that the emperor would agree to his request.
After all, who wouldn’t love a minister who is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and wants to defend the imperial city?
Wait until Xie Yuheng's figure disappears into the distance.
Duke Xie's face immediately darkened.
His expression also became serious.
There was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Prince Zhong, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, what do you think?"
Chen Zhao knew that Duke Xie had seen through it and she knew Xie Yuheng's true identity.
This was a test and also a threat to her.
"My Lord, do you not trust me, or do you not trust His Majesty and Yu Heng?"
"Could it be that in the eyes of the Duke, I am a villain who repays kindness with enmity?"
"I will always remember Yuheng's kindness to me. Please rest assured, Duke. Even if I die, I will never reveal a single word about Yuheng's life story."
"If you are still worried, you can send someone to keep an eye on me, or just place someone near me. If I show any signs of disloyalty, you can take action."
She was telling Duke Xie that she knew Xie Yuheng's true identity.
She was also assuring him that she would never betray Xie Yuheng.
Duke Xie still trusts Chu Mu's character.
He snorted coldly, "At least you have a conscience."
Sui frowned again and looked at Chen Zhao, who was wrapped in gauze, and said unhappily:
"You are so seriously injured. What are you doing dragging your sick body to the palace?"
Shen Zhao informed Duke Xie that the emperor had sent people to arrest Li Yuwan.
"Are you saying that Miss Li who once saved the emperor's life is the daughter of the Seventh Prince?" The murderous intent in Duke Xie's eyes reappeared.
