6 The Decision and the heartache

" I decided to send you away." The Emperor blurted out

' Thank God I won't keep this childish act for a long time' Zheng Lu thought tearing up from happiness.

Well no one can blame Mimi for getting tired, she is childish but she can't be serious when the situation is, she must act childish all the time.

Seeing The youngest prince display of emotion made the emperor himself tear up, but both of them are tearing up for different reasons, Zheng Lu from happiness and the Emperor from sadness.

" You are only thirteen, people think you are easy prey, this Emperor can't be there to protect you all the time, in this place you can't trust anyone." He said trying to convince his son

'I know someday you will understand.'

"Won't you be lonely?" Zheng Lu asked surprising the Emperor

From the new memories, Zheng Lu knew how lonely The Emperor felt, pouring his heart and his struggle to his youngest son, eating together, joking, the Emperor could be himself with him.

" I...I...such a silly child." The emperor pokes Zheng Lu forehead fondly

' I was happy but he's making me feel bad, he's really a great emperor' she thought looking at him

"Tomorrow you will depart, I will talk to Concubine Chun Hwa about it." He said leaving the scene

Back to the Emperor chamber, Concubine Chun Hwa was seen by the emperor pacing, clenching her hands in frustrating without noticing him.

"What's wrong?" He asked in worry

"Your Highness!" she exclaimed bowing her head in respect

"Please send Lu somewhere safe!" she said falling on the ground

"Do you know something?" he asked suspiciously

"Your highness everyone knows you favor him." Chun Hwa replied

"raise! there is no need for such an act, this Emperor already decided to send him away. " He told her

" Really? when are we going to depart?" She asked standing on her feet in delight

"There is no We there is only him." He replied

" what does your highness mean? he can't survive on his own!" She said horrified

" I am sure you were a great mother to him, but he must grow up." he looked away feeling guilty

"to where?" She asked

"Feng Empire, in master Gu care." He simply stated, making Concubine Chun Hwa sigh in relief, Master Gu is Zheng Lu GrandFather after all and he knows the situation.

" He will depart before the sunrise." he stated leaving no place for objection.
