Chapter 394 This is the Little Emperor’s Weakness
Chen Guangzhi looked at the little emperor eagerly.
He said affectionately, "Your biological mother, Empress Chen, used up all her strength to give birth to you. When she passed away, she specifically instructed me to take good care of you and the Chen family."
Chen Guangzhi's eyes reddened, "But I failed to live up to your expectations. Your health hasn't improved in these years."
"Now that things are looking better, uncle has to make more plans for the Chen family. In the future, everyone in the family will feel safe and secure, which can be considered as fulfilling your mother's last wish."
Mu Chengyan stood at the door, crossed his arms, and glanced at Chen Guangzhi.
He fixed his gaze on the expressionless little emperor.
The latter coughed in a very dignified manner, and her fair and tender appearance made it difficult to be on guard against.
The little emperor smiled lightly, "Uncle, how do you want to plan for the Chen family so that you can feel that you have fulfilled Mother's wishes?"
Chen Guangzhi immediately said, "Of course we will appoint a crown prince."
The little emperor nodded, "Yes, establishing a crown prince is a good idea."
Chen Guangzhi smiled when he heard this.
Children are easy to fool when they are young.
Just say it casually and continue talking along the lines of his thoughts.
Chen Guangzhi sat up straight and was about to speak.
The young emperor first said slowly: "When choosing a crown prince, we must choose someone who is beneficial to the Chen family. This is the only way to ensure the future prosperity of the Chen family."
Chen Guangzhi smiled and said, "That's the truth."
The little emperor sighed, "What a pity! I'm still young, and it's not the time for me to expand the Chen family. Now that I think about it, I blame myself for not living up to my expectations."
The little emperor looked worried.
It looks so small that it makes people feel sorry for it.
He was about to speak.
The little emperor said slowly, "If I really leave in the future, I will apologize to Empress Chen in person if I see her. It's my fault for not living up to my expectations."
Chen Guangzhi was about to speak.
The little emperor said, "I think your uncle's proposal is very good. The world cannot be without a ruler for a day. This is what I, as the emperor, should do before I leave."
This time, Chen Guangzhi immediately said, "Yes, but Your Majesty, don't be so pessimistic. I think your health is much better now, but I am just making some preparations first."
Upon hearing this, the little emperor said in astonishment, "Uncle, do you really think I'm well again?"
Chen Guangzhi: “…Ah?” He was just saying it casually, kid, was he supposed to take it seriously?
Chen Guangzhi's stunned expression looked funny under the moonlight.
The little emperor looked at her, curled his lips, and coughed slowly again.
Then, he stopped talking. What Chen Guangzhi had prepared to say was neither right nor wrong.
He stood there for a long time.
The little emperor looked at the man who called himself his uncle in a joking manner, with no expression on his face.
Mu Chengyan stood at the door and raised his eyebrows after witnessing all this.
The child taught by Yun Zhao is less than ten years old, but he is already not to be underestimated.
The naughty boy teased the old woman.
If the little emperor is in good health, no one else will have any problems.
"Alright," the little emperor said, as if he couldn't support himself anymore, or as if he was too lazy to watch this ugly scene. "I understand what my uncle meant, and I agree. I think Xie Jingmo is good. I heard before that he has a good relationship with my mother, and now his relationship with the Queen Mother is also good. Back then, Queen Mother Yun was entrusted by my mother and has always been dedicated to me. Xie Jingmo ascended the throne in the future, which can be regarded as a repayment for my kindness to Queen Mother Yun over the years."
Upon hearing this, Chen Guangzhi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Xie Jingmo cannot do this. Isn't his hand broken? Our dynasty cannot have an emperor with a broken hand."
"Why not?" the little emperor said, "I've been on the throne for so many years, and I've never attended court. Queen Yunmu can handle everything well on her own. How could Xie Jingmo be any worse than me? The two of them complement each other and support each other. It will be a great story in the future."
The little emperor looked at Chen Guangzhi, "Besides, Uncle, Empress Dowager Yun has been very kind to the Chen family over the years, right? Are you still dissatisfied?"
These words fell.
Chen Guangzhi was speechless.
Yun Zhao was indeed very kind to the Chen family.
Can--
Chen Guangzhi glanced at Mu Chengyan who was standing at the door.
Doesn’t that mean Chen Meihua has a crush on Mu Chengyan?
Without high enough stakes, how could Mu Chengyan possibly marry his own daughter?
Chen Guangzhi was extremely worried and said to the little emperor, "Son, you don't know this. Empress Dowager Yun is taking care of the Chen family for your sake. If you leave and someone new takes the throne, Empress Dowager Yun might not be able to take care of us. Your uncle thinks we should make further plans."
The little emperor yawned, "Really? Then uncle can go back and think about it, but there is just one thing I need to remind uncle."
Before Chen Guangzhi could speak, the little emperor said, "This world, after all, belongs to the Xie family. I will obey whatever uncle wants me to do, because we are from the same lineage, the Chen family. But uncle, don't forget, my surname is also Xie. I will never give up the interests of the Xie family to others."
Chen Guangzhi paused.
The little emperor slowly lay down, "Uncle, I am ill, but Queen Yunmu said that this does not prevent me from being a man of integrity and courage."
These words fell.
The little emperor closed his eyes tiredly, and his breathing became steady after a few seconds.
Chen Guangzhi became anxious and bent over to wake up the little emperor.
Doctor Li bowed and entered. "If your Majesty has anything else to do, please come back tomorrow. The Emperor has spoken a lot today and is very tired."
Chen Guangzhi had no choice but to smack his lips, stand up and walk out reluctantly.
After walking quite a distance, Chen Guangzhi frowned and said to Mu Chengyan, "This is difficult. This kid looks harmless, but he is very determined and won't give in easily."
Mu Chengyan narrowed his eyes, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said slowly: "Everyone has weaknesses."
And the little emperor's weakness.
It's too obvious.
Chen Guangzhi was stunned, and looked at Mu Chengyan with trembling eyes, "You...you won't let me touch the Queen Mother, right? This is a capital crime! Xie Jingmo won't let me go either."
Mu Chengyan rolled his eyes and said, "Now, no one except Xie Jingmo's people can enter the Cining Palace."
Chen Guangzhi: "What do you mean?"
Mu Chengyan twitched his lips and gave a sinister smile, "Besides Yun Zhao, who is the person closest to the little emperor?"
Chen Guangzhi blurted out, "Of course it's the little emperor's wet nurse. She's the one who's taken care of the little emperor since he was born. She was the one chosen by Empress Chen herself. The wet nurse she's referring to is actually the little emperor's aunt, my half-sister."
Mu Chengyan turned and looked at Chen Guangzhi.
Chen Guangzhi immediately had an idea, "You mean..."
After Chen Guangzhi finished speaking, he hesitated, "But, the wet nurse is of low status after all. Will the little emperor compromise because of this?"
Mu Chengyan said: "Even if a child is deep in thought, he is still a child. In their world, the concept of superiority and inferiority is very superficial. In the palace, the most precious thing is family affection, and this is the little emperor's weakness."
