C336 Talking by Candle at Night

Hearing Xiu Yu's words, the Emperor of Xiliang finally reacted and quickly nodded towards Xiu Yu. Then, he turned to Xiu Huang and asked, "Huang'er, all these years I've left you in the Jin Country, living under someone else's roof. It's really been hard on you."

Before Emperor of Xiliang even finished speaking, he started to sob.

On the other hand, Xiu Huang's expression was a little calmer. He extended his hand and patted Emperor of Xiliang's hand, and a slight smile appeared on his lips with difficulty, as he shook his head and said: "Royal father, don't be like this. I hope that royal father will be at ease. "

Xiu Huang was not lying when he said this. Ever since Xiu Huang came to the Jin Country and stayed there, Zuo Yuan had frequently went to the Yusong Institute to play with Xiu Huang. What she had treated Xiu Huang well was not any worse than what Duan Yunfei had treated Xiu Heng well back then. Furthermore, she was the precious daughter of the Minister of the Left, who had a good relationship with the Thirteenth Princess, and had a domineering personality. No one in the palace dared to provoke her, and no one dared to make things difficult for Xiu Huang.

In that case, Zuo Yuan was really Xiu Huang's benefactor. To protect his years of peace and joy.

"Furthermore, only if I stay here will the Emperor of the Jin Country be at ease with us. This son stays in the Jin Country alone, to protect the citizens of the Xiliang, but this son is willing to do so. " Xiu Huang cupped her hands at Emperor of Xiliang and said resolutely.

The more Xiu Huang displayed indifference, the more guilt and remorse Emperor of Xiliang felt in his heart. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears as he looked at the youngest son in front of him whom he doted on the most. The many years of the Wind, Frost, and Snow Insight had also polished him to his current state.

"Father, this son is currently in the Jin Country's Imperial Palace, so it is inconvenient for me to enter or leave. I dare ask royal father, have everything in the Xiliang been well these few years? " As Xiu Huang spoke, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. In the end, he continued to ask the emperor, "Is Crown Prince Xiu Heng alright?"

Since the Emperor of Xiliang's health had always been poor, as the crown prince, Xiu Heng naturally had to follow orders. However, he went about his business step by step, attacking his enemies, killing them and controlling the political affairs of the imperial court. The current court had almost become his domain. The ministers in the palace all listened to Prince Xiu Heng's orders, as though they had forgotten that they still had an emperor.

Hearing Xiu Huang's question, Emperor of Xiliang frowned even more. He let out a heavy sigh and reached out to pat Xiu Huang's shoulder. Only then did he continue to speak to him, "Huang'er, this is all royal father's fault.

Seeing Emperor of Xiliang's awkward expression, Xiu Huang thought something had happened and hurriedly leaned over to pull his hand and asked: "What's wrong, royal father, did royal brother treat the Xiliang poorly?"

As Xiu Huang spoke, he instantly felt that something was amiss. He unnaturally stepped back and unnaturally looked at the royal father in front of him. Xiu Huang already couldn't remember how long it had been since he called Xiu Heng "royal brother". There was so much between them. The hatred of killing their mother, the battle for the throne, these things were all placed between them, and they became obstacles that the two of them could not cross no matter how hard they tried. They had nearly forgotten that aside from the two opposing sides, the two of them were brothers.

"Emperor of Xiliang didn't mind so much. He sighed lightly and shook his head at Xiu Huang. To be honest, Xiu Heng has handled the Xiliang's national affairs very well. His political insight and arrangements are indeed not something that ordinary people can compare to, but he is the one who dictates the authority and is not someone that the Sovereign King can do. "

Emperor of Xiliang began to cough as he spoke. Separated by the door, Duan Yunfei saw that his face was pale, it indeed had the appearance of someone who had been sick for a long time. Xiu Huang was a little nervous as he quickly offered warm water to Emperor of Xiliang and helped him drink.

"Royal father, right now, royal brother is still the crown prince, so naturally he is worried that he won't be able to keep his position. That's why he removed all of his disagreements, and in the future, when royal brother inherits the throne, he will definitely do a very good job. Crown Prince Xiu Heng is naturally intelligent, don't worry. " Xiu Huang comforted the emperor as he patted him on his shoulder.

Emperor of Xiliang did not expect Xiu Huang to say such a thing, and stared at him in disbelief. In a moment of desperation, he actually coughed up blood.

"Father, what exactly happened to you?" Seeing that, Xiu Huang jumped, and anxiously checked on the emperor's condition.

The emperor pushed him aside and shakily took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then he continued, "Huang'er, you are of good character and are the most favored son of the royal father. royal father has always wanted to pass on the position of emperor to you, but now that you have spoken those words today, don't tell me you truly have no thoughts whatsoever about that position of supreme being? "

Xiu Yu, who was standing at the side, became anxious as well. He stretched out his hand and shook Xiu Huang's shoulder, then said with a frown: "That's right, royal brother. We grew up together, I think you are the most suitable person to inherit the throne. How could you say such words today? "

Hearing the emperor and Xiu Yu asking him this, Xiu Huang couldn't help but laugh. He cupped his hands at the Emperor of Xiliang and said: "Royal father, as the ruler of a nation, it is not because you want to enjoy life, but you truly want the citizens to live and work in peace, and realize the prosperity of a nation. Only then can you be considered an emperor, compared to governing an army, your son knows that he is inferior to Crown Prince Xiu Heng.

As Xiu Huang stood outside the room, he couldn't help but be a little moved as well. Compared to Xiu Heng, Xiu Huang's heart was even more kind. As long as it was for the common people, he could make any sacrifices.

"If that's the case, then all the efforts I've put in these years have all gone down the drain." Hearing Xiu Huang's words, Xiu Yu became a little flustered and exasperated.

Duan Yunfei finally understood that over the years, Emperor of Xiliang had secretly ordered Xiu Yu to lurk by his side. On the surface, it was to help Xiu Heng with some tasks, but in reality, it was just asking for information on Xiu Huang's behalf.

This time, the Emperor of Xiliang had secretly followed the diplomatic mission into the Jin Country, and it was also under the guise of the Emperor of Xiliang wanting to leave the palace to pray. He wanted to convince Xiu Huang to return home and fight for the throne with him after seeing him. And Xiu Huang was a modest and polite person, he had some connections in the imperial court, if Xiu Huang returned, he would become a threat to Xiu Heng.

But they never thought that Xiu Huang would actually say such a thing.
