Chapter 694: Get out of here, don’t get in my way
When Emperor Xuande heard Song Yanxi mention Yan Yichuan, his face froze.
Indeed, this seems like something Brother Yan would do.
Emperor Xuande was a little angry and said, "You are a girl, but you look like your grandfather. Could it be a good thing?"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, he warned with a dark face: "Don't go to your grandfather to complain. He is old and can't afford to get angry."
Is it that my grandfather can't bear to be angry, or is it that Your Majesty is afraid of being in trouble with him?
Being stared at by her, Emperor Xuande said impatiently: "Alright, let's go back first."
Seeing this, Dehai hurriedly whispered, "Princess, don't just stand there, thank you!"
After hearing this, Song Yanxi seemed to have a sudden realization and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Emperor Xuande said sullenly, "You were quite eloquent just now, but where has your cleverness gone now?"
Song Yanxi said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am too kind. I am just being clever. I cannot be called smart."
Knowing that she was just pretending to be good, Emperor Xuande snorted coldly and said meaningfully, "It's a good thing to be smart, so that you don't get bullied without knowing what's going on.
It's harmless to be clever, but if I knew you were using these tricks on Xiaowu, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Song Yanxi smiled back and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will never use my thoughts on those close to me."
As she spoke, she raised her hand in a gesture of oath.
"That's enough." Emperor Xuande stopped him, his tone cold, "It's okay. If you dare to deceive me, I have many ways to make you live a life worse than death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mo Jinchuan's cold voice at the door.
"Who is your Majesty planning to make live a life worse than death?"
Emperor Xuande's face darkened immediately, and he said unhappily, "When did you get a dog's nose that allows you to come here just by smelling something?"
Mo Jinchuan walked in and asked instead of answering, "If your son is a dog, then what is your father?"
"I'll take your father's responsibility!" Emperor Xuande coughed lightly, clutching his chest and saying, "I really owed you in my past life, and I gave birth to you to collect the debt."
Although he said he was disgusted, there was a faint smile in his eyes, and he didn't look angry at all.
It can be said that he is partial to Mo Jinchuan.
Although his emotions may not be pure and are mixed with various calculations, Song Yanxi had to admit that his love for him came from the heart.
She had never experienced this kind of true love from a father.
Fortunately, her grandfather and uncle treated her very well and gave her all the love they could.
So that she won't live in the shadow of envying other children from childhood.
Emperor Xuande glared at Mo Jinchuan and said unhappily, "We agreed to bring the little girl into the palace to have dinner with me, but it's already this late and there's not even a trace of her in sight.
If I don't call Yan Xi over, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you even tomorrow morning."
Mo Jinchuan said calmly, "Jiaojiao is tired from playing and has taken a rest in the Queen's Palace."
When Emperor Xuande heard this, he became even more unhappy.
He said with resentment in his eyes: “Your daughter is as heartless as you are.
You said you were coming to see me, but you ended up sleeping soundly somewhere else."
Mo Jinchuan: "Father, why bother with a child? It's unbearable to lose your dignity."
"Identity?" Emperor Xuande sneered, "One or two of them, they wish to piss me off to death.
Tell me, what is my identity?"
Seeing him throwing tantrums like a child, Mo Jinchuan's eyes were filled with helplessness. "Anger is harmful to the body. Why does Father deliberately say these words to anger me?"
Emperor Xuande said, "I'm so angry! This is exactly what you want."
Mo Jinchuan's face darkened, his dark eyes tinged with displeasure, "Even if Your Majesty dislikes me, you shouldn't let me be accused of being disobedient and unfilial."
Emperor Xuande frowned, "You bastard, when have I ever said such a thing?"
He couldn't help but frown and asked in a cold voice: "Who is this blind person who talks nonsense in front of you?"
As he spoke, he looked at De Hai who was still kneeling on the ground, his brows furrowed even tighter, "Why are you still kneeling?"
Dehai stood up shakily, holding onto the small table beside him, and said with an apologetic smile, "Your Majesty, my legs and feet are not in good condition. If I stand for a long time, I have to kneel for a while to feel comfortable."
It was obvious that this was just an excuse.
Who doesn’t like to stand and insists on kneeling to speak?
He wasn't born to be a slave.
It's just that power crushes people.
How could Emperor Xuande not hear the hidden meaning in Dehai's words? However, he was too lazy to pay attention and only ordered: "Send someone to investigate and see who can't control their tongue and talk nonsense in front of Xiaowu.
Since I can't control it, I might as well just pull it out and save myself the trouble."
Dehai quickly responded, enduring the dull pain in his legs and limping out.
Looking at his departing figure, Emperor Xuande sighed, "This man becomes less and less useful as he gets older."
As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Jinchuan, who looked normal, and said unhappily, "You bastard, you're getting less and less likable the older you get.
When I was little, I could still hear some nice words from you, but now all you do is make me angry."
Mo Jinchuan said, "There's no shortage of flatterers around Father."
He paused, then added, "If Your Majesty truly wants to hear it, I can say a few words against my will."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuande laughed in anger, "If I wanted to hear those slanderous words, would I need you to tell me?"
He pointed to the door and said impatiently, "Get out of here, don't get in my way."
He caught a glimpse of the seemingly obedient Song Yanxi standing beside him, and he became even angrier. "You're going to go with him too. I get a headache just seeing you two."
Song Yanxi was about to respond when she heard Mo Jinchuan ask quietly, "Father, do you mean you don't want to see me in the near future?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuande's face darkened even further. He cursed the debt collector under his breath and said with a dark face, "Don't let me see your face again before dinner."
Mo Jinchuan responded respectfully, turned around and left without any hesitation.
Looking at Emperor Xuande who was about to curse, Song Yanxi hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
Emperor Xuande waved his hands and slowly closed his eyes, looking indescribably tired.
It was as if I had aged a lot in an instant.

"Why, are you blaming me for speaking to father in that manner just now?" Seeing that Song Yanxi was worried, Mo Jinchuan took the initiative to speak.
He smiled helplessly and explained, "As the ruler of a country, even if my father is ill, he will never allow others to say a word.
The more respectful and polite you are to him, the more he will feel that you are treating him as a dying man."
Although it sounds a bit harsh, it is an indisputable fact.
If Emperor Xuande had not been the ruler of a country and had not had a constant supply of rare medicinal herbs to nourish him, he would have died long ago...
Song Yanxi was lost in thought when she heard Mo Jinchuan explain, "Xi'er, what father just said was not directed at you.
He's simply been in a high position for too long and has forgotten how ordinary people, elders and juniors, should talk to each other."
At the end of his words, he sighed softly, "Father's health has been abnormal for a long time, but as a son, I didn't notice it. I really shouldn't have done that."
Hearing his self-blame, Song Yanxi frowned and said, "Your Majesty is deliberately concealing it. Not to mention the prince, even the queen, who is right beside her, doesn't know about it.
Therefore, Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself."
Thinking of Concubine Li's visit, she asked, "Has Your Majesty seen Concubine Li today?"
