Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world. The ending is already determined, and those who are left can only regret their original choice over and over again.
The young master didn't know much about his biological father. After hearing what the emperor said, he now didn't know what attitude he should adopt to face the emperor.
To be honest, the emperor was very good to the two brothers. If the emperor had turned a blind eye to Chu Jinglin when Su Guijun died, Chu Jinglin would probably not have survived long in the cannibalistic palace no matter how powerful he was.
So the emperor entrusted the young Chu Jinglin to the empress who was unable to bear children. In this way, Chu Jinglin was transformed from an ordinary prince into a legitimate son.
Just now, when Han Xiao was not around, the emperor assured the two brothers in front of them that the throne was reserved for Chu Jinglin, and as for the others, they were all Chu Jinglin's whetstones.
Even for Chu Jinglin, it was the first time that he heard his father speak to him so directly.
Over the years, the emperor's influence has been evident in his behavior, and now he suddenly realized how much the emperor had helped him in secret.
This caused Chu Jinglin to feel extremely complicated.
He didn't expect that his father would have such high expectations of him.
Seeing that Ruanruan lowered her head and didn't say anything, the emperor didn't know what to say, so he just held Chaochao and moved closer to the young master.
The big hand touched the young master's head and said gently: "Ruanruan, I know you will hate me, but I swear that I am sincere to you three. I am responsible for your father's death. So after everything is settled, I will pass the throne to your brother. Then...I can accompany you more at that time?"
Han Xiao: “…”
How can I listen to such words? Your Majesty, you really don't treat me as an outsider. Moreover, after you abdicated, you didn't stay in the harem properly. What's the point of you coming to my house?
The young master just pursed his lips and didn't agree or object. The emperor didn't care and chuckled: "Since Ruanruan doesn't say anything, father will take it as your consent. When your brother succeeds to the throne, I will let him restore your status, okay?"
Speaking of this, the young master immediately raised his head and said, "No, I like my current life very much. I don't want it."
The young master said this capriciously, slapped the emperor's hand away, and hid behind Han Xiao.
Seeing that the young master gradually regained his energy, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, anyway..."
The emperor still did not speak out the blank imperial edict.
"Anyway, you have me and your father backing you up. If anyone bullies you, just tell me and I'll take care of it for you." After saying this, the emperor looked at Han Xiao meaningfully.
Han Xiao's skin tightened all over his body, and then he looked at the young master. Seeing that he had regained his usual expression, he touched his head to comfort him.
"My husband will never bully me." The young master said unconvincedly as he followed Han Xiao.
Her husband is obviously very good to her, so why does everyone think that he will bully her?
The emperor was heartbroken when he saw his youngest son's elbow was bent outward, and he accused Chu Jinglin with his eyes.
Chu Jinglin, who was playing with Xiao Chaochao, was simply caught in the crossfire.
Did he do something wrong again?
Han Xiao was the master after all, and he couldn't stay here all the time. After thinking for a while, he simply took the emperor and Chu Jinglin to the front.
It’s a good opportunity to meet Mr. Qinghe.
The emperor had no objection to this. He originally wanted to see Ruanruan and his grandson today. Now that he had seen them, it didn't matter where they went.
After putting his mind at ease, Han Xiao walked forward with a few people.
Han Mingyuan looked for Han Xiao everywhere, wondering why Han Xiao, as a father, was still unreliable at such an important time.
Just as Han Xiao came out talking to Chu Jinglin calmly, Han Mingyuan quickly grabbed Han Xiao and said, "Where have you been? Your grandfather couldn't find you just now."
"Grandpa is looking for me? What's the matter?"
Han Mingyuan shook his head. Mr. Qinghe did not tell him anything, but just asked him who Han Xiao went out with.
I also asked Eunuch Dexi who the two people following Lai Lai De were.
Han Mingyuan looked carefully at the emperor and Chu Jinglin behind Han Xiao.
Then he leaned close to Han Xiao's ear and said carefully, "Your grandfather may be suspicious of the identities of the two people that Eunuch Dexi brought with him."
So that’s what it is?
Seeing that Han Xiao's expression did not change at all, Han Mingyuan wondered doubtfully, could it be that Han Xiao already knew?
Han Xiao beckoned Han Mingyuan over: "Dad, don't you want to know their identities? Do you think this young man looks familiar?"
Han Mingyuan nodded hesitantly. It did look familiar.
"He is Jinglin, Ruanruan's third brother, and this one is Ruanruan's father."
Oh, it turns out to be Ruanruan’s third brother and father, then it’s nothing.
Suddenly, Han Mingyuan's mind was shocked. It was nothing. If his soft third brother was the third prince, then his father must be...
Han Mingyuan's body trembled and he almost fell out. Knowing the emperor's identity, Han Mingyuan wanted to kneel down immediately.
Han Xiao, who was quick-witted and quick-handed, stopped him: "Dad, don't get excited. His Majesty is on a private visit in disguise. Don't attract other people's attention."
Han Mingyuan just felt that Han Xiao, this rebellious son, did nothing good all day long. He even hid such a big thing from him. What else could he not dare to do?
Han Mingyuan took a deep breath and managed to maintain his expression: "Your Majesty is honored to see you, Mingyuan..."
"Okay, forget about all this. I just came here today to check on Ruanruan. She's almost changed it back. Where's Dexi?"
"Eunuch Dexi is still ahead. Your Majesty, please follow me."
This time, Han Mingyuan took the emperor over, and Han Xiao had nothing to do, so he held the young master's hand and followed slowly behind.
This little episode did not attract the attention of others.
Han Mingxiu, who had been staying in the corner without making any moves, watched Han Mingyuan and his men come in from afar.
Chen Jiabao, who was following him, saw that he was absent-minded and asked, "Husband, what are you looking at?"
Han Mingxiu came back to his senses and said, "Nothing, it's almost time for us to go back."
Chen Jiabao also nodded. It was too boring here. As soon as he wanted to stand up and move around, people sent by Han Xiao would follow him.
He had never been treated like this before, and he hated the Han family even more.
Han Mingxiu was still looking in the direction of Han Mingyuan. He rarely saw Han Mingyuan treat someone so carefully. He also saw Han Mingyuan bring the man to Eunuch Dexi, who also treated the middle-aged man with great respect.
Then an idea came to Han Mingxiu's mind. Could it be the one above?
The more Han Mingxiu thought about it, the more it made sense, because he couldn't imagine what kind of person could make Eunuch Dexi bow down.
Although Eunuch Dexi has tried his best to restrain himself, it is a habit that has been developed over a long period of time and cannot be changed in a short time.
