"An'er, your uncle has always been a stubborn person. In the future, don't just listen to what your uncle says, and don't just watch what your uncle does. Think about why your uncle does it, okay?" Xu Jixue stroked his son's little head with a serious and earnest tone.
"An'er understands. My uncle treats me the best. I will definitely be filial to him in the future." The young Xu An had an innocent look on his face and agreed to his father with a smile.
"Even if your uncle treats you badly, you should still respect him." Xu Jixue said with a somewhat unhappy tone, staring at his son intently, "Can An'er agree to his father?"
Xu An rarely saw his father so strict, and he nodded hurriedly in panic, fearing that if he was a little late he would make his father unhappy.
When Xu Jixue saw his son agree, his expression brightened instantly. He sighed to himself, "It's your father who has wronged your uncle. From now on, it's up to you to repay him."
Xu An didn't understand at first, but when he opened the letter his father left for his uncle, he thought it was his father's guilt towards his uncle.
But when he heard Long Er's words just now, he finally understood what he and his son owed their uncle, and what his uncle was carrying.
"Father once said that my uncle seems to care about nothing, but in fact he is the most arrogant. He never wants to put himself in a difficult position and he disdains to tell lies." Xu An's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
"My uncle loves An'er the most, so he will plan for An'er no matter what, even if..." Xu An paused, choking up a little, "Even if my father is sorry for my uncle, my uncle will still stand by An'er in the end."
Xu Tianze didn't say anything, but just turned his back to Xu An. He didn't even dare to make a sound, for fear that he would be soft-hearted and fail in the end.
"Father told An'er that if his uncle told a lie, his left little finger would bend unconsciously, and his voice would linger on the last word subconsciously." Xu An walked to the back of Xu Tianze and stood still, tears filling his eyes.
In the blurry darkness, Xu An stared at the figure in front of him, fearing that if he was not careful, the person would disappear before his eyes.
"Uncle, you really don't want to take a look at An'er?" Xu An asked in a pleading tone.
Xu Tianze bit his lips tightly and refused to say a word. He knew that Xu An didn't want him to turn around, but wanted him to let go.
What I want is to get him out of this quagmire and live the life he wants, but now the arrow has been shot and there is no chance to regret.
If he retreated at this time, he might still be able to survive, but Xu An would definitely die.
Xu Tianze thought about it and decided to move forward. Now that Long Musi already knew the truth, it would be better for him to go and meet him.
If there is really no room for maneuver, staying in Zhoushan City is never a bad thing. After all, he is tired.
"Uncle~" Xu An's face was filled with panic. He quickly grabbed Xu Tianze's sleeve and said, "Uncle, do you really not want An'er anymore?"
"We wanted to keep it a secret from you. When everyone gathered in the capital, we would make way for you. But we didn't expect that the truth would eventually come out." Xu Tianze turned around and touched Xu An's head with a smile.
If he keeps it a secret like this, he will die at the hands of his stupid nephew, which will be a complete and effective thing.
But man's plans are ultimately no match for God's will. Now that he knows the truth, his nephew can't bring himself to do it no matter what.
"Why do you have to plot like this? I'm not a descendant of the royal family. I'm just the eldest grandson of the Xu family. Uncle, can you please stop?" Xu An's eyes were full of pleading.
Why, with so many royal bloodlines, must he be the one to inherit the throne in the end? Why was his path arranged before he was born? Why do those who are good to him always end up dead in the end?
He just wanted to be the eldest grandson of the Xu family, with his grandparents still alive, his father and mother loving him, and his two uncles still free and easy. Couldn't he even fulfill such a small request?
Why did the Emperor's grandfather make things so difficult for him, and for his father? The Crown Prince was better, King Jing was fine, and there was also the incredibly talented King Chang. Which of these was not better than him, not better than him? Why him?
"All the royal family members will pave the way for you. They are willing to die for the sake of great deeds and for you." Xu Tianze had a loving smile on his face.
He did not refute Xu An's words, nor did he correct his bold remarks. He was just telling his nephew a fact: what they did was not only for one person, but also for the country.
"I was the one who killed the Duke of Zhenguo, I was the one who killed Liaoyun, and I was the one who ordered the massacre in Xiangguo Temple. I, Xu Tianze, am a notorious and ruthless person." Xu Tianze withdrew his hand, took two steps back, and stood with his hands behind his back.
"I can be an ungrateful person, a person who seduces the virtuous king, or a scourge that will be infamous for eternity, but..." Xu Tianze paused for a moment before speaking firmly, "The only thing I can't be is your uncle!"
After saying that, Xu Tianze turned around and left, not giving Xu An any chance to keep him.
"If they don't want to, will my uncle really kill them?" After Xu An shouted, he saw that Xu Tianze still didn't stop, so he was about to chase him.
Long Er quietly stretched out his foot. Xu Anben could hardly see clearly under his feet in the dim light, and Long Er's trip made him fall completely.
But Xu An no longer cared about Long Er. He raised his head and saw the corner of the clothes about to disappear around the corner. He roared angrily, his voice filled with anger, powerlessness, and infinite sadness.
"Xu Tianze!! When you guys planned this, did you ever consider whether I'm willing? Did you ever think about what I really want?"
But even though Xu An shouted like this, Xu Tianze did not turn back. He was left crying on the ground, just like the heavy rain many years ago.
Xu Tianze walked out of the dungeon and looked up at the bright sun. He didn't feel relaxed at all, but instead felt a lot more solemn.
Of course he heard Xu An's last words, but now not only he had no choice, Xu Anye had no choice, and all the royal family members had no choice.
It was not until this moment that Xu Tianze understood what Aunt Qingyi had said when he left Shangjing City: "The most terrifying thing about Emperor Gan is his calculations of human hearts."
How ironic and helpless it is.
"Sir, the prince invites you over."
When Xu Tianze saw the person coming, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He really knew how to pick the time. It seemed that although he had not appeared in front of him during this period, he was still keeping a close eye on him.
