"Eunuch, does the emperor have no time to see me or does he not want to see me?" Zhong Ming'e's face was pale, even his lips were a little gray, and he looked very haggard.
That's right. Zhong Zhiheng has always valued and doted on Zhong Ming'e. He was always kind to him and almost never said harsh words to him. This was the first time that Zhong Ming'e encountered such a setback, so he was naturally sad and depressed.
"Alas! Prince, please stop having these wild thoughts. There have been constant reports of mourning in the palace over the past few months, and His Majesty is not happy. It's possible that he is not in the mood to see you for the time being. After this period, when His Majesty is in a better mood, he will naturally want to see you. Otherwise, when I see that Your Majesty is in a better mood, I will speak up for you in front of Your Majesty?" Zhao Ruhai consoled him, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart. Prince Hui had completely fallen out of favor. After all, Prince Hui's wife had given birth to such an unlucky baby. How could His Majesty not have any thoughts about Prince Hui?
"Yes, thank you, sir." Zhong Ming'e nodded, and then was supported by Gao Zhiqi and walked towards the stairs step by step.
"Your Highness, don't be too discouraged. His Majesty... is still angry now. After this period of time, His Majesty will think it through and realize that this matter has nothing to do with you. Naturally, he will be willing to see you." Gao Zhiqi racked his brains to find words to comfort Zhong Minge.
"How can it have nothing to do with me?" Zhong Ming'e said in a deep voice, his gray lips trembling and making a hoarse sound, "It's all because of me, this unlucky person, that I caused the Zou family and the Cui family to be buried with me, and also killed the princess and mother. It's reasonable that my father hates me and doesn't want to see me."
"Your Highness, please don't say that!" Gao Zhiqi said hurriedly. Seeing Zhong Ming'e hurting himself like this, he was so anxious that veins popped out on his forehead. However, he was a military commander after all, and he really couldn't find words to comfort him. In the end, he simply poured out his innermost thoughts, "Your Highness has always been like this. What was his attitude towards the deposed crown prince in the past? Later, when the Zhao family got into trouble, Your Highness also ignored Prince Rong. Your Highness, you should have known what kind of character Your Highness is from the beginning, so why bother to hurt yourself?"
"Yes, I knew from the beginning that my father was a cruel and ruthless person. He was suspicious of everyone, but I always thought that my father treated me differently. He really loved me like any other ordinary father," Zhong Minge said slowly. He couldn't help but curled his lips in self-mockery. "But how is it possible? My father is the Son of Heaven. As the Son of Heaven, there are only monarchs and subjects. How can we expect a father-son relationship?"
Gao Zhiqi wanted to say a few more words to comfort Zhong Minge, but in the end he couldn't say anything. In fact, he felt that although Zhong Minge must be sad and painful thinking this way, it was also good. It was good for Zhong Minge to see Zhong Zhiheng's true face and recognize Zhong Zhiheng's attitude towards him, so that he wouldn't be depressed in the future.
"Second brother, why are you here?"
Zhong Ming'e was walking forward with his head lowered when he heard a surprised, young voice coming from the front. He was startled and looked up, only to see a sedan chair coming in front of him, and Zhong Mingrong was lifting the curtains, revealing a smiling face.
"It's Mingrong," Zhong Ming'e said with a smile, and asked casually, "Why are you so late? Why are you here instead of resting in the palace?"
"My dear second brother, I am here to accompany my father," Zhong Mingrong said, as he ordered the sedan bearer, "Get off the sedan! Get off the sedan! I want to talk to my second brother."
"Yes, I obey your command."
The bearers put the sedan down, and Zhong Mingrong didn't need anyone to help him. He opened the curtain and came out. Then he ran to Zhong Ming'e happily, looking at him with a smile in his narrow and long phoenix eyes: "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you come to the palace?"
