132 Chapter 132
◎ Doubt. ◎
Liu Ju was searching on his mobile phone for the nutritional benefits of various medicinal foods when someone came to call him from the Xuanshi Hall.
Liu Ju glanced at the sky. The days were long in summer and it was still light. But why did the Emperor not summon his favorite concubine, so why did he want to see him?
Because of the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind during the day, Liu Ju now didn't want to see his father, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and he had no right to choose.
When he slowly reached the Xuanshi Hall, the Emperor was admiring some antiques. Seeing Liu Ju coming, he didn't let him bow, but called him over and said, "Ju'er, take a look at these antiques."
Yes, there are antiques even before the Common Era.
Liu Ju thought of some jokes that appeared on the Internet in later generations and couldn't help but smile with ease.
After following the Emperor to admire the antiques and listening to him tell their origins and historical stories, Liu Ju still couldn't understand the purpose of calling him.
Antiques can be viewed at any time, it is not worth calling him over at this time.
Liu Che took the teacup and moistened his throat, then said, "Zi'er, take whichever one you like."
Liu Ju knew his father's temper. He pointed to an incense burner and said, "Here, I like the eagle on it."
Liu Che smiled and rubbed his head, saying, "Eagle, it suits you very well, little eagle."
Liu Ju looked at his old father who was full of satisfaction, and wanted to sigh, the prince and the emperor.
"Why are you still unhappy?" Liu Che pulled the prince to sit down and asked after observing his expression. "Today your uncle came over and said you weren't looking well. I just realized that you're still thinking about the gossip we had the other day."
Liu Ju was not surprised that his uncle would report his abnormality to the emperor, but he was a little surprised that he was called over so hastily. He was even more puzzled by the next sentence.
"Aunt, what did you say that day?" Liu Ju asked.
Liu Che thought he was going to hide something, so he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Zi'er, you are already ten years old this year. I have always treated you as a child, but you must know that you are actually no longer a child."
Liu Ju nodded in confusion: "Yes, Aweng, I have been learning to be a more mature prince."
So...what is the key, Your Majesty?
Liu Che added: "A mature prince, my son, if you can do this, you should not be afraid of anyone leaving, whether it is your uncle, your cousin, your mother, your sister, or me."
Liu Ju was stunned and looked up at his father.
The Emperor's face was stern, and he said calmly, "Ji'er, you must keep going. Even if there's no one to lead the way, even if there's no one by your side, you will always know where the right path leads."
Liu Che experienced all of this, with his father's guidance in his youth and his mother's company later, but in the end they all left him.
But His Majesty the Emperor still walked forward with his head held high, because he knew that he still had his own way.
Liu Ju understood what his father meant. Parents can only accompany people for a certain period of time in life, and everyone will lose them eventually.
This is common sense.
It’s just that the royal family does too many things that go against common sense.
Liu Che believed that it was because Liu Ju was too dependent on his parents and elders and refused to grow up that he was trapped in the proposition of death.
But Liu Ju was thinking about everything between him and his father through his past life. He had doubts and was puzzled.
He was…scared.
It's funny to say that Liu Ju was a man who rebelled against his father, but he was afraid that he had ever had the idea of killing his father and the emperor.
Liu Ju thought, perhaps he had this idea, so for more than two thousand years, even though he knew that his father had not chosen to reincarnate, he never went to see him.
"I understand, Uncle." Liu Ju said insincerely, "Don't worry, I will never do this again."
But there is no point in thinking about these things. His thoughts are actually not important compared to the final results.
Even if he were to live his life again, all his efforts would probably be wiped out in a flash by his father's thoughts.
In this era, no one can stand against His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the Crown Prince's serious expression, and felt a strange feeling. He seemed eager to say something to the Crown Prince, but soon this feeling disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.
Liu Che thought, I seem to have missed something very important, and this is the real reason why something is wrong with Juer.
However, this thought only lingered for a moment before the Emperor could no longer think of it.
It was as if the scheduled time had not yet arrived and something was secretly stopping him.
"I believe in the prince, Er, you have been doing a good job." Liu Che encouraged.
"If you say you rely on me, it's because of me." His Majesty was humble and brave enough to admit his mistakes. "I plan to build a Bowang Garden in Shanglin Garden to attract guests for you. I hope you can broaden your horizons. My son, I will let you go out on your own. Do you dare?"
Liu Ju was immediately shocked. In his previous life, Bowang Garden was given to him by his father after he came of age, but in this life, it was given to him nearly ten years earlier!
"Thank you, old man." Although he was surprised, Liu Ju expressed his gratitude quickly.
At this time, he couldn't say no.
Liu Che was very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Okay, Ju'er, I'll see how you perform."
…
After coming out of the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Ju breathed a sigh of relief. He had been trapped in the emotions of his previous life for so long that he felt a little breathless.
This is why the underworld is so desperate to expedite the reincarnation of these stubborn souls. The longer a soul lingers in the underworld, the more vulnerable it becomes to the miasma of delusion. Overly obsessed with the memories of a past life, unwilling to reincarnate and begin a new one, they develop resentment. People like them harbor resentment that cannot be washed away by Meng Po soup, and the underworld must do everything it can to eliminate it, otherwise it will affect other souls in the underworld and cause unrest.
Liu Ju thought, this is a vicious cycle. The more entangled you are, the harder it is to get rid of it. Aren’t Fusu and I the best examples?
But if Fusu's resentment is eliminated and he is reborn, does that really mean so much? What happened to Fusu?
Liu Ju was a little suspicious, perhaps Fusu was hiding something.
It took more than two thousand years to get through, how can it be passed in such a short time?
What did Fusu prove, or what did he gain, that allowed him to eliminate the resentment that had lingered in his heart for two thousand years?
After returning to the Prince's Palace, Liu Ju took out his mobile phone and used the group chat to trick Fusu into revealing his thoughts. However, the Prince of Qin was no ordinary man. Even though Li Chengqian joined in, the two-on-one situation still prevented Fusu from revealing a single word.
However, this just proves that there is something going on, Liu Ju concluded.
What is certain is that Li Ying is also unaware of the inside story, so it would be too easy for him to test him.
If Liu Ju wants the answer, he can only look for it in the world he lives in.
He raised his hand and looked at the blue veins on the back of his hand. If he cut it, it would definitely bleed.
After staring for a while, Liu Ju put his hand down. He was not Li Chengqian, so he would not hurt himself.
Besides, the healthy recipes have not been finished yet, Liu Ju thought, my hands can be very useful.
The next day, Liu Ju gave Huo Qubing the healthy recipes he had copied, and told him that he would soon own a Bowang Garden and invite him to visit.
As the cotton harvest was getting closer, Liu Ju went to the Pepper Room and happened to meet Madam Li again.
This time, Lady Li left quickly again, but there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows, and she looked at the Queen's expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. However, Wei Zifu saw her off very calmly, so she had to respectfully take her leave.
Liu Ju frowned and said, "If she has anything to ask of His Majesty, she can just go and ask His Majesty. Why is she coming to my mother and acting like this? It's as if my mother has bullied her."
"She's just a worrywart." Wei Zifu wasn't angry, but sighed, "Serving Your Majesty with a temperament like that won't be easy."
Liu Ju said, "Does she have a good life? Do you, mother, have to be responsible for it?"
Wei Zifu rubbed her son's puffy cheeks and said, "Why are you angry? She just came to ask me about Madam Wang. This is a matter between the ladies. I didn't interfere, and she was a little upset." At this point, she shook her head. "After all, Your Majesty favors Madam Wang, not because of her particular good qualities, but because Your Majesty thinks she is good. What does it matter if she is sick? Your Majesty sees that."
Because the Queen had taken care of her in the past, Lady Li thought that the Queen looked upon her differently and would help her win Lady Wang's favor. However, she never expected that the Queen was completely out of the matter.
Madam Li originally thought that she had three backers: Princess Pingyang outside the palace and the emperor and empress inside the palace. Suddenly one of the triangle was missing, and she became a little worried.
Liu Ju understood the source of Madam Li's annoyance and rubbed his forehead. "Who the Emperor favors is none of the Empress's business?" Madam Li was really good at picking people to ask. I didn't know whether to say she was too clever or too clever. Did she think the Empress needed to have spies around the Emperor? Even if the Empress wanted to, she wouldn't dare. What kind of man is the Emperor? It's not like the Empress is tired of her good life and looking for some excitement!
Liu Ju said, "Mother, please don't see her as much in the future. She was fine before, but it's terrible to see her being infected with her sorrow."
Wei Zifu couldn't help laughing: "It's not that I won't see her anymore, I'm just afraid she won't come to see me for a few days."
Madam Li had misunderstood the Queen's intention. She was shy and would probably be ashamed for a few days.
"That's perfect, mother. You will be busy with the cotton business and won't have time to worry about such things as sadness about the passing of time." Liu Ju said.
Wei Zifu said, "Being sad about the passing of spring and autumn is a small matter, but for some people it is a huge matter."
Wei Zifu had been in the Weiyang Palace for many years. Like Lady Li, she had also been nervous about accepting the emperor's favor. Therefore, although she could not care about Lady Li's feelings, she still felt some sympathy for her.
Liu Ju was stunned for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, mother, I..."
"What are you sorry for?" Wei Zifu asked in surprise. "From now on, don't interfere in the affairs of the harem. My dear, you are not a child anymore. If His Majesty finds out, he will be unhappy."
Liu Ju had no choice but to say, "I know, mother, don't worry."
