Chapter 1166 Chess Piece
Little Hanhan was playing in the yard with his nanny. When he saw his father coming out, he immediately stretched out his chubby arms and shouted loudly, "Daddy."
He wants his dad to take him out to play.
Luo Yechen patiently comforted her, "Daddy has to go out to do something. Can I take you out to play tomorrow?"
When he heard that he couldn’t go out to play today, Xiao Hanhan immediately became anxious.
"Liar! Daddy, liar!"
He was shouting and crying at the same time, crying his heart out.
No matter how others persuade and comfort him, it is useless.
Luo Yechen turned to look at Bu Shengyan, wanting her to help.
However, Bu Shengyan did not move.
She said calmly, "You have to do what you promised him. You can't go back on your word just because you are an adult."
There was no other choice, Luo Yechen could only pick up the little fool.
"Okay, Daddy will take you out to play!"
The little fool immediately burst into laughter.
Luo Yechen carried him out, saying as he walked, "Daddy is going to the palace to see your uncle the emperor, so you have to accompany me to the palace first, and then we can go out to play on the street after we leave the palace, okay?"
For Xiao Hanhan, going out to play means leaving home and playing outside.
Going to the palace is also going outside, so he nodded without hesitation to indicate yes.
The father and son got into the carriage and headed for the palace.
Luo Qinghan had just finished dealing with today's memorials and was about to go to Yunxiu Palace to accompany Xixi when he was told that King Ying had arrived with his son.
Luo Yechen bowed and saluted: "Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Little Hanhan imitated his father, holding his two chubby paws together and shaking them twice towards the emperor as if greeting the New Year, a big smile blooming on his chubby little face.
"Greetings, Huang Sang."
As an expectant father, Luo Qinghan is overflowing with fatherly love at this moment.
He bent down, picked up the little fat boy, weighed him twice, and sighed.
"Little Silly has gained a lot of weight again. Look at the weight, it's quite heavy."
The little silly pouted and whined, "I'm not fat!"
He was a little fat boy when he was born, and then his father spoiled him a lot. He ate whatever he wanted and got fatter and fatter.
He is now just a little fat boy.
But he really doesn't like people saying he is fat. Every time someone says he is fat, he would refute it very loudly.
Luo Qinghan smiled and said, "You are fat and you are not allowed to say anything. Your personality is quite similar to your father's."
Luo Yechen was caught in the crossfire.
He couldn't help but retort: "I'm not fat!"
Luo Qinghan glanced at him and said, "You are not fat, but you are stupid."
Luo Yechen immediately got furious and retorted loudly: "I'm not stupid!"
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything, but his eyes told the other party clearly, look, the reaction is exactly the same!
Luo Yechen became more and more annoyed, but he couldn't refute it, and finally he got so angry that he almost died.
Luo Qinghan put the little fool on the ground and asked Eunuch Chang to take him down to play.
Eunuch Chang knew that the Emperor and the King of England had something to say, so he took everyone else in the imperial study away, leaving only the Emperor and the King of England in the room.
Luo Qinghan said slowly, "Tell me, why did you suddenly come to see me?"
Luo Yechen was still angry and didn't want to go along with the other party at this moment, so he spoke in a deliberately sarcastic tone.
"Aren't you the emperor? Isn't the whole world in your hands? Even if I don't tell you, you should know why I'm here."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "You are here for the Imperial Concubine's matter."
Luo Yechen's expression froze.
What's wrong with these people? How can one or two of them predict the future so well?!
This makes him lose face!
Luo Yechen: "How did you know?"
He was sure that he had not mentioned the word "imperial concubine" since he entered the room, so the emperor should not be able to guess it.
Luo Qinghan: "Recently, because of the issue of enthroning the queen, the clan members are very restless. They even sent representatives to the Prince of Ying's Palace today. I guess they want you to stand on their side."
Luo Yechen wanted to ask the other party how he knew that the clan members had sent people to the Prince of Ying’s Palace?
But his strong desire to survive forced him to swallow back his words.
It goes without saying that the emperor must have arranged spies everywhere in Shengjing City.
It's okay to understand this in your heart, but it won't be nice if you say it out loud.
Since the emperor had already guessed most of it, Luo Yechen simply stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.
“Yes, the clan members want me to persuade His Majesty to change his mind and not appoint the noble concubine as the queen.
They also said that the imperial concubine was Concubine Xiao, and that Concubine Xiao was most likely the real murderer of their father.
I think this is ridiculous, so I came to the palace to ask for an audience with Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty would give me a definite answer."
Luo Qinghan asked coldly, "What answer do you want?"
Luo Yechen: "Was my father really killed by Concubine Xiao?"
His answer was a long silence.
Luo Yechen's heart sank little by little.
If the other party does not deny it, it means he or she agrees.
Luo Yechen knelt on the low couch, his hands on his knees, his fingers involuntarily grasping the hem of his clothes, and his expression became a little ugly.
After a long while, he murmured.
"He is our father after all..."
Luo Qinghan did not deny this fact. He looked at the other person calmly and asked, "Do you still remember how Concubine Hui died?"
Concubine Hui was Luo Yechen's mother, and her death was an eternal pain in Luo Yechen's heart.
When he thought of the tragic death of his mother, he couldn't help but tear up, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Of course I remember, she was killed by the rebels."
Luo Qinghan: "Then do you know why the rebels were able to control the palace so easily?"
Luo Yechen was stunned.
He never thought about this question.
He couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Luo Qinghan: "Because of my father's deliberate indulgence."
Luo Yechen couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? Why would my father allow those rebels to mess around in the palace? What good will this do him?"
Luo Qinghan's voice was as calm as ever, and to Luo Yechen's ears, it even sounded a bit cold.
"Father had long wanted to get rid of Prince Xiling and the Qin family, but he never found the right opportunity or reason. That palace coup was the best opportunity, and Father couldn't miss it."
Luo Yechen's voice was trembling: "But those are his concubines, how could he be so cruel?"
Luo Qinghan: "They are just a few concubines. Using their lives to get rid of Prince Xiling and the Qin family is a great deal for my father."
Luo Yechen never thought that the palace coup that year actually hid such a secret.
If the real murderers of Concubine Hui were Prince Xiling and Qin Zhong, then Emperor Sheng Yong was their accomplice.
Luo Yechen was unwilling to accept this cruel truth.
He kept repeating the same sentence.
"How could Father do this? How could he do this?"
Luo Qinghan had wanted to ask his father countless times, how could he do this?
But now Luo Qinghan has seen it clearly.
He said calmly.
"In our eyes, he is a father, but in his eyes, we are just pawns."
