"No!" Su Renzhong blurted out without thinking, instantly infuriating Helian Rong.
"You brat!" Helian Rong was so angry that he wanted to jump out of bed and beat him, but his body was in such a state that any movement would affect his entire body.
"Cough cough..." Helian Rong coughed violently, stimulated by the cough.
"Your Majesty!" Yuan Xian hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, worried.
Su Renzhong hadn't expected that his words would anger someone so much, so he quickly went over and poured a cup of tea for them.
Helian Rong was so angry that he didn't want to drink his tea, but Yuan Xian took the teacup first and fed Helian Rong a sip.
After drinking a sip of hot tea, Helian Rong finally stopped coughing and lay on the large pillow, panting heavily.
Seeing that Helian Rong had recovered, Yuan Xian said to Su Renzhong, "You know His Majesty's health. Your Highness, please be more considerate of him and don't upset him anymore."
Su Renzhong glanced at Helian Rong, who was panting heavily, and dared not provoke him any further!
Helian Rong caught his breath for a moment, then waved to Yuan Xian and said, "You can go out now."
Yuan Xian was very worried about Helian Rong. With him around, the grandfather and grandson could start arguing. If he wasn't there, what would happen if they started arguing again?
However, Yuan Xian dared not disobey Helian Rong's orders and could only bow and leave.
After Yuan Xian left, Helian Rong looked at Su Renzhong and said, "There's no one else here, just the two of us, grandfather and grandson. Tell me, do you really not want the throne of Northern Wei?"
As if afraid Helian Rong wouldn't believe him, Su Renzhong nodded very seriously to Helian Rong: "Really!"
This instantly made Helian Rong so angry that he almost fainted.
"Please stop!" Seeing that Helian Rong was out of breath again, Su Renzhong quickly went behind him to help him up and patted him on the back.
Helian Rong gets angry just looking at him, and he even tries to calm him down. He's really afraid that he'll be so angry that he'll die!
After a while, Helian Rong finally caught his breath and asked, "What exactly is the reason for this?"
He just couldn't understand what had gotten into the Northern Wei dynasty that made him despise it so much!
Su Renzhong sighed and explained, "As you know, my wife is the Empress of Western Liang. She can't stay in Northern Wei forever for me. If I really become the Emperor of Northern Wei, wouldn't we have to live apart?"
...Helian Rong thought he was going to give some earth-shattering reason, but he only said this. He was so angry that he smacked him on the head again: "You spineless coward! You'd give up the throne for a woman!"
Su Renzhong's head was throbbing from the beating, but he didn't dare to be fierce with Helian Rong. He just glanced at Helian Rong and said, "It's because of certain people that my wife and I have been separated for so many years without any reason. Now that we've finally reunited, of course I don't want to be separated from my wife!"
...Seeing him ramble on about these random things again, Helian Rong couldn't help but feel guilty again. He glared at him and said, "Your wife said that what happened before is forgotten. Why are you bringing it up again? You're a grown man, but you're not as straightforward as your wife!"
Su Renzhong didn't argue with him on this point: "I'm just not as good as my wife!"
...Helian Rong was so angry that he wanted to smash his head again, but he couldn't bring himself to do it because he thought that if he made him stupid, he would lose his only heir.
Su Renzhong stopped arguing with him and got down to business: "You don't even have a good impression of any of my three royal uncles?"
Helian Rong glared at him and said, "Tell me, which of the three is suitable for the throne?"
...Now it was Su Renzhong's turn to be speechless.
Although he had only been in Northern Wei for four years, he had already figured out the personalities of those three men very well.
Helian Zheng was cunning and shrewd, but his cold and tyrannical nature made him unsuitable to be emperor.
Helian Qin was impatient, brainless, and loud-mouthed; he was not suited to be an emperor.
Helian Jun was two-faced, saying one thing to people and another behind their backs. His character was flawed, and he was not suitable to be emperor.
Su Renzhong frowned: "Why didn't you have more children back then? You wouldn't be in this situation where you have no choice now!"
...Helian Rong was immediately angered by Su Renzhong again: "It's not like I don't have useful sons. Your father was intelligent and quick-witted back then. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, and was proficient in both literature and military strategy. He was the prince I favored the most, and the crown prince that I personally cultivated."
Helian Rong seemed to be thinking of his eldest son who died young, his eyes filled with the sorrow of a white-haired man burying his black-haired son: "It's just a pity that he was too outstanding, so he was taken away by God just as he had you."
Su Renzhong originally had no feelings for his father Helian Yu, but hearing Helian Rong speak so sadly, he couldn't help but feel bad, so he stopped arguing with him.
After a long pause, Helian Rong suddenly smacked Su Renzhong on the head again: "If your father were still alive, I might not need you!"
He passed the throne to his son, and as for who his son would pass it to, he didn't care!
Su Renzhong pursed his lips, not daring to provoke him too much, and whispered, "But I really don't want to be separated from my wife. Why don't you choose some other grandsons?"
He can't count on his son, but he still has fifteen grandsons!
Besides him, there are fourteen others. He doesn't believe that none of these grandsons are of any use.
...Helian Rong was so angry with Su Renzhong that he didn't even want him to calm down. He grabbed Su Renzhong's hand and pushed him out, saying, "Get out! Get out! Don't let me see you!"
Su Renzhong stared at Helian Rong, feeling that he had really angered him this time.
However, thinking of Duanmu Junyu and the two children, he hardened his heart.
In his heart, nothing could compare to her and their two children.
"Then I'll be going now."
Su Renzhong then quietly left.
This angered Helian Rong so much that he almost fainted. Lying on the large pillow, Helian Rong felt that the heavens were going to destroy him and the Northern Wei Dynasty. He felt that even if he died, he would not be able to meet the ancestors of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Yuan Xian walked in and saw Helian Rong's deathly pale face, and immediately asked with concern.
What did His Highness the Imperial Grandson say to the Emperor that made him so angry?
Helian Rong's face turned pale, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Yuan Xian became even more worried: "Should this old servant go and invite the young princess here?"
Your Majesty, this won't do. Your condition is much worse than yesterday. Let the young princess give Your Majesty another acupuncture treatment. Otherwise, Your Majesty might not make it through the night!
"No need, I want to be alone. You may leave now."
"Yes." Yuan Xian glanced at Helian Rong, who was staring at the top of the tent. Although he was worried, he still obediently went out.
After Yuan Xian left, Helian Rong was lying motionless.
That kid has made up his mind and won't change it easily. He needs to think carefully about how to change that kid's mind, otherwise he won't be able to close his eyes in peace even when he dies!
