After hearing Li Xingran's heartfelt words, Xiao Sheng returned to the palace and asked the emperor for a companion to study with, but failed. He then had a long dream that night, and when he woke up, he seemed to have become a different person.
The six-year-old child now looks like a twelve-year-old and knows how to think about problems.
Xiao Sheng pieced together all the trivial events he could remember and became increasingly terrified.
It's a miracle he's grown to six years old; God has blessed him.
His memories of his mother were few and far between. He only remembered the sound of her weeping the night before she died, her cries hoarse and desperate, yet she left him without a single word. Only after his mother's burial did he find a letter in his palace, written by her, instructing him to heed General Li Tingli's teachings, to live a good life, and to be a good person.
However, he did not follow his mother's last wish.
He didn't get close to Li Ting, but instead kept his distance, which disheartened General Li, who never visited him again.
He didn't live a good life; at six years old, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't even read poetry properly.
He didn't take life seriously either; he beat and killed his servants at will, and by the time he was six years old, he still didn't have a single person he could rely on.
If the emperor hadn't suddenly appointed Li Ting as his tutor, he would probably still be basking in the favor of the crown prince and living under the influence of Empress Zhao Yunwan's flattery.
The reason Li Ting was appointed Grand Tutor was because Zhao Yunshu pleaded with him before her death, and the emperor finally agreed.
How stupid must he be to grow up to look like that? He can't see through those people's true colors, and he's willing to be someone else's stepping stone, a mere foil!
Li Ting looked at the little boy in front of him. He was six years old, but he saw the despair of a sixty-year-old in him.
According to Ruan Ruan, Xiao Sheng did not become emperor in the end; instead, the second prince ascended the throne.
Li Ting knew that being able to ascend the throne as the second prince was a unique occurrence in the four hundred years of the Nan Chen Kingdom's rule.
That is enough to show that Zhao Yunwan was very capable, the emperor was incompetent and tyrannical, the second prince was all-powerful, and the crown prince was rebellious! Only then could she pave the way for the second prince to ascend the throne.
Otherwise, the officials in charge of remonstrance, the historians, and the ministers in the court would never have allowed such a thing to happen.
What will happen in the future? I'll have to coax Ruan Ruan into telling me another day.
"Now that you know you were wrong, do you know what to do next?" Li Ting said sternly to Xiao Sheng as he walked.
Xiao Sheng followed closely behind, arriving at Li Ting's study. Next door to the study was the room where Li Xingran and her teacher's wife lived.
