Shang Tian naturally knew about his parents' affairs, so he didn't try to persuade them further. He simply asked, "What do we need to prepare?"
Aunt Zhang shook her head and said, "No need, I've already prepared everything."
Just as Aunt Zhang said, she had prepared everything. She didn't let Shang Tian and Su Qian touch anything and personally wiped Shang Da Wang's body and changed his clothes.
Su Qian tried to step forward to help several times, but Shang Tian stopped her each time.
Shang Tian pulled Su Qian out of the house and said to her, "Don't interfere."
"Why?"
Are they really going to just stand by and watch Aunt Zhang die?
Shang Tian smiled bitterly, "Aqian, those are my parents." How could he not want to stop them, but... "Years ago, the doctor said that Mother wouldn't live long. She's holding on for Father's sake, for my sake."
Now that King Shang is dead, Aunt Zhang will surely not be able to endure it.
Rather than let her die with regrets, it's better to follow her wishes.
Su Qian was completely stunned. "Why didn't anyone tell me this?"
If she had known, she wouldn't have let Aunt Zhang cook for her.
"Mom likes to work hard for you. If you knew, she would probably get sick from being so bored."
"Is this your reason for keeping this from me?" Su Qian's tone was indifferent. She felt she should cry, but she couldn't.
She didn't know what to do.
"A-Qian," Shang Tian said, taking her hand. "I'm sorry."
At this moment, language seems so pale and powerless.
Who did it?
Shang Tian thought for a moment, then answered honestly, "The Emperor."
"I'll go kill him." Su Qian tried to move, but Shang Tian held her hand tightly. "I want to do it myself."
His gaze was somber.
"I'll take you there now." With their fighting skills, killing someone wouldn't be difficult for them.
"It's not the right time yet." He didn't want to rely on Su Qian's force; he wanted to gradually bring the entire world under his control before taking action.
He also wanted to make Xiao Lin taste what it felt like to lose the most important thing.
Before they knew it, the day of King Shang's burial arrived.
Aunt Zhang climbed into the coffin and lay down next to King Shang. "Close it."
No one moved; they all looked at Shang Tian. Shang Tian closed his eyes briefly, "Mother..."
Aunt Zhang said coldly, "This is my last wish."
Shang Tian nodded, "Son understands."
The coffin was closed little by little. Mosquito led the craftsmen to nail the coffin in place, carry it to the Shang family's cemetery, and bury it.
The coffin remained completely silent until the burial, without making a single sound.
The next day, Shang Tian went to see Hu Zi and said, "My parents have already been buried."
His tone was calm, revealing no trace of joy or anger.
The mosquito removed the rag from Tiger's mouth, and Tiger said weakly, "I didn't mean to kill the King and his wife."
"Hmm." Shang Tian nodded and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Tiger looked at him for a long, long time before chuckling softly, "There's nothing that can't be said."
He agreed to serve the emperor in the first place simply to survive. Now that he has no way to survive, what does he still care about?
The matter is actually quite simple.
That day, after Hu Zi accepted the mission to capture Su Qian, he left the palace, but before he could leave the capital of Song, he was stopped by someone.
The man said to him, "Sir, His Majesty has instructed you to place this package in the Shang family's food."
Tiger looked at the man warily and asked, "What is this?"
The man smiled and said, "It's just a packet of ordinary sleeping pills."
Tiger raised an eyebrow at him. "Really?"
