"Thank goodness it's over." Xiao Cunyu calmed down and said seriously, "Your Highness, you are like the moon on the mountain and the wind in the forest, a benevolent and righteous gentleman, a wise ruler of the future. I hope that when you take that position, you will be welcomed by all and celebrated by the people, rather than being cursed and accused of being unfilial and unfraternal."
"Even if you use tricks, don't let others know." Xiao Cunyu added.
It is foolish to be bullied and wait for the throne to fall on your head.
To put it bluntly, he could kill the emperor and his father. The emperor owed him a lot. It was the law of cause and effect. No matter how excessive his actions were, it was not wrong. As long as he was a wise ruler in the future, he would be able to offset that debt.
But such things are ultimately shameful. As a monarch, every move will become an example to the world, and people tend to remember the bad and not the good. Even if he becomes the most virtuous monarch since the beginning of the world, those unofficial histories will probably say that he usurped the throne and was disobedient, which is really a sin. Therefore, he is very cautious and works hard to govern the country...
So, this matter should be done in secrecy.
"You have new plans now, so you advise me these things." Ying Huaiji didn't care about his reputation.
He had a good reputation for many years, but his life was just so-so.
After death, a handful of yellow earth, no matter how magnificent the imperial mausoleum is, cannot compare to her laughter and joy when she was alive.
"Don't worry, Prince. I'm not someone who enjoys being wronged. If anyone makes me unhappy, I'll make their entire family suffer." Xiao Cunyu said, glancing at him again, "Of course, not including you."
"If you don't use my people to guard it, someone will leak the news to father in the next two days at the latest, and you will be a prisoner." Ying Huaiji said again.
"It's okay. It won't lock me up forever." Xiao Cunyu grinned, not afraid at all. "Okay, thank you for always worrying about me. It must be hard to come all the way here. Go and rest. I don't have much time left now. I still have to go see Miss Jiang..."
More than six hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Cunyu seemed to value time very much. After she finished speaking, she hurriedly wanted to leave. When Ying Huaiji heard her words, he immediately grabbed her hand and said, "I think you think highly of this Miss Jiang."
"Her grandfather is a good friend of mine." Xiao Cunyu said innocently, "And this little girl is a good person. She wanted to be frightened because of me for no reason. I have to inform her in advance so that she won't be unable to bear it and worry about me."
"When I was worried about you, I didn't see you feeling so guilty." Ying Huaiji was very jealous.
She didn't have him in her eyes, nor in her heart. She couldn't see what he did, and she didn't know when he couldn't sleep every day because of worry. Now she was worried about that outsider.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cunyu stamped his feet and said, "How can you still be so jealous? I feel guilty because I'm not familiar with her. You're one of us, why should I be polite to you?"
"Honestly?" Ying Huaiji's brows relaxed slightly. "Who is more important, me or your brothers?"
"You might as well just ask me directly, who should I save if you and they fall into the river!" Xiao Cunyu had never seen him like this before. "You...you look a little more difficult than before..."
He became hesitant and his words became sour, as if he had become a different person.
He had said before that he liked her, but he was still restrained in his words and actions. But now, every word he said was like a young bride who was afraid of getting angry at her.
"Forget it. I know you're heartless." Ying Huaiji met her gaze and said, "It's good that you know I'm difficult to deal with. From now on, even if I die, you won't be able to get rid of me."
