Liao Chongwu also knew the truth. Looking at Zhong Minge's pale face, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He whispered, "Your Highness, if you can't bear to attack the Cui family, then you can scold Mr. Cui's men, write a letter of severance, and let that person take it back to Mr. Cui, so that Mr. Cui will understand your intentions and there will be no more contact between the two from now on."
"How can this be enough? How can the emperor let the Cui family off so easily? Since the Cui family has come to Yongzhou, they have harbored rebellious intentions. The new and old grudges added together are not something that a mere prince like me can resolve," Zhong Minge shook his head bitterly, and added, "What's more, he is a prince with Cui family blood flowing in his body. Today, no matter what I do or say, as long as I don't take action against the Cui family, in the eyes of the emperor, I am protecting the Cui family. I am afraid that my role as the Prince of Hui will also come to an end. Maybe..."
Maybe, he will be buried with the entire Cui family.
Zhong Ming'e didn't finish his words, but Liao Chongwu understood it clearly.
"So what should we do now?" Liao Chongwu asked in a deep voice.
Zhong Ming'e bit his dry lips, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little cruel: "Kill that man, cut off his head, and send it to Ganzhou as a warning. If my grandfather comes to bother me again in the future, then... kill my grandfather as well."
"Okay, I'll do it." Liao Chongwu was startled, then nodded, patted Zhong Minge's shoulder, and stood up. "Then don't go to the front yard, just stay in the backyard, there's nothing to scare you."
“Liao Chongwu!” Zhong Minge suddenly reached out and grabbed Liao Chongwu’s hand. He looked up at Liao Chongwu, his face extremely pale. “Liao Chongwu, why…why did my father torture me like this? Obviously, I know nothing! I didn’t participate in anything! Why…why is he unwilling to let me go?”
Yeah, he really knew nothing and was not involved in anything.
What about Lu Guinian, and the wronged accusations against Queen Zhenxian and the eldest prince? What does this have to do with him?
Even if the Cui family had done evil and deserved death, even if he had the blood of the Cui family in his veins, what did it matter to him? In Zhong Zhiheng's eyes, was he going to be strangled to death just because of his blood?
But, he is a prince! Not only does he have the blood of the Cui family, but he also has the blood of Zhong Zhiheng! So why did Zhong Zhiheng treat him like this?
Zhong Ming'e couldn't figure it out, his heart was filled with deep sadness and sorrow. Just a moment ago, when Liao Chongwu carried him into the house, he was so ecstatic. He was still imagining the happy and peaceful rest of his life. But why did he have to face such a bloody and cruel choice after waking up?
Why?
He doesn't even want that piece of gold! He doesn't want anything! Why is the emperor unwilling to let him go?!
…
"Ming'e, don't think too much, just leave it to me," Liao Chongwu sat down again, held Zhong Ming'e's face with his hands, leaned over and gently kissed his trembling lips, and said softly, "Ming'e, have a good sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be over."
"Liao Chongwu, thank you." Zhong Minge looked at the man's solemn and resolute face like Master Guan and his eyes full of tenderness, and couldn't help but feel a sudden soreness in his nose. "Liao Chongwu, what would I do without you?"
"No, we agreed to stay together forever," Liao Chongwu smiled and helped Zhong Minge lie down on the bed again. "Be good, don't let your mind wander. Have a good sleep. I'm here, so you can rest assured."
"Okay, I understand." Zhong Minge nodded, obediently put his hands into the blanket, and closed his eyes.
Liao Chongwu leaned over and kissed Zhong Minge's thin eyelids, then turned and left the dormitory.
