Chapter 228 The Fate of His Highness

Chapter 228 The Fate of His Royal Highness
In the White Crane Temple, Emperor Wu of Zhou had already met Qin Xiulian, and tried to comfort her.Afterwards, he asked the imperial physician who came with him to take Qin Xiulian's pulse.

The imperial physician said that Qin Xiulian was fine, but that she was overly frightened, and that a few doses of tranquilizing soup would be enough.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was also worried that Qin Xiulian would not be able to sleep well due to nightmares due to excessive fright, so he specially asked the Taoist priest of Baihe Temple to give Qin Xiulian a peace talisman, so that Qin Xiulian could sleep well at night.

He also ordered a thorough investigation of this assassination, so that Sun Kui must find out the real mastermind behind the assassination, no matter who it is.

It was noon when Emperor Wu of Zhou arrived at Baihe Temple.After comforting Qin Xiulian, he had lunch in the White Crane Temple.

Zhao Yao originally thought that he would have lunch with Emperor Wu of Zhou and Qin Xiulian, but he did not expect that Qin Xiulian would not be there.

Seeing Zhao Yao looking around, Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and tapped his little head: "What are you looking at?"

"Where is Concubine Ying?" Zhao Yao asked very bluntly, "Isn't she eating with us?"

"Why does she want to eat with us?" Emperor Wu of Zhou rolled his eyes at Zhao Yao, "She is not your concubine mother."

It seems to make sense, but it seems something is wrong.

"The fast food at Baiheguan is good."

Hearing Emperor Wu of Zhou's words, Zhao Yao's attention immediately shifted to the fasting meal.

The father and son sat cross-legged on the ground facing each other, and a low table was placed in front of them.

Before Emperor Wu of Zhou ate, a special eunuch tried the dishes, and after confirming that they were not poisonous, Emperor Wu of Zhou ate with his youngest son.

Emperor Wu of Zhou brought food for Zhao Yao first, and Zhao Yao became vigilant when he saw this.

"Eat, what are you doing looking at me like this?"

"Father, you didn't put poison in the dishes, did you?" Zhao Yao looked at the dishes in the bowl and said warily, "If I don't know how to eat, I'll have diarrhea." He was cheated by Emperor Wu of Zhou before.

When Emperor Wu of Zhou heard what Zhao Yao said, he raised his brows lightly, and said in a sinister manner, "You will die if you eat it. Why, dare you eat it?"

Zhao Yao turned pale with shock and said, "Stinky father, the poison of a tiger doesn't eat its offspring."

Emperor Wu of Zhou angrily picked up a chopstick of vegetables and stuffed them into Zhao Yao's small mouth, "Brat, eat it."

Seeing this scene, Sun Kui was really worried that Emperor Zhou Wu's chopsticks would poke Zhao Yao's throat.

Emperor Wu of Zhou had a measure in his hands and would not hurt Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao ate a few mouthfuls, and found that the vegetarian food of Baiheguan tasted really good, and his clear eyes suddenly became bright.

"Does the taste meet the taste of His Royal Highness?"

Zhao Yao nodded repeatedly and said, "It's delicious." After speaking, he picked up the vegetables and ate them.

Seeing his gluttonous appearance, Emperor Wu of Zhou asked eccentrically, "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"

"Father, if you poison me again to cause diarrhea, I will sue my concubine." Although it is useless to sue my concubine, I still have to sue.

Emperor Wu of Zhou snorted softly, "Do you think I'm afraid of your mother and concubine?"

Sun Kui on the side said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, aren't you afraid?

Zhao Yao glared fiercely, then angrily picked up a plate of dishes in front of Emperor Wu of Zhou, and drove half of the dishes into his own bowl with chopsticks.

Seeing Zhao Yao robbing him of food, Emperor Wu of Zhou gave him an angry look, and immediately robbed him of the food in front of him.

Sun Kui saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou and his son staged a scene of grabbing vegetables, and thought to himself that it was a good thing that the concubine and concubine Ying didn't eat with them, otherwise, seeing the emperor's appearance, he would be very disappointed.

"Father, you are the emperor, how can you steal your son's food?"

"I am your father, why can't I steal your food?"

"Father, you are shameless."

"Stinky boy, I am your old man, you have to let your old man."

"You've already grabbed my food, how can I let you." Zhao Yao shouted angrily, "How can you do this to me."

"Everyone grabs food according to their ability, whoever grabs it will eat it, and whoever makes you have no ability."

"Stinky father..."

Sun Kui, who was standing by the side, saw Emperor Wu of Zhou and his father and son fighting over the food, silently turned his head aside and stopped looking.He was afraid that if he continued to look at it, he would...

Sun Kun once again sighed in his heart: Fortunately, the concubine Ying is not here!
This lunch, Zhao Yao was very tired and felt that he was not full yet.

Emperor Wu of Zhou ate very happily and was very full.

After lunch, seeing Emperor Zhou Wu's smug face, Zhao Yao was outraged and rushed towards him.

Emperor Wu of Zhou stretched out his hand to scratch Zhao Yao's pinch socket, and Zhao Yao who scratched laughed loudly.

Zhao Yao also reached out to scratch Emperor Wu of Zhou's itch, but Emperor Wu of Zhou was not afraid of itches, so he could only scratch his face and ears.

Emperor Wu of Zhou stretched out his hand to push Zhao Yao's little nose in retaliation, and joked that he was a pig.He also let Zhao Yao imitate two pig calls.

"Father, if I were a pig, you would be an old pig." Zhao Yao yelled angrily, "You're still a thick-skinned old pig."

Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up Zhao Yao and lay on his lap, then raised his hand to pat Zhao Yao's little butt.

"Stinky boy, how dare you call me old man."

"You scolded yourself." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite Emperor Zhou Wu's thigh.

"Ouch, brat, are you a bitch?"

The father and son hugged each other and wrestled again.

Sun Kui saw that Zhao Yao's feet kicked Emperor Wu of Zhou's face, and that Emperor Wu of Zhou kneaded Zhao Yao's delicate face into various strange shapes with his big hands.

Then, the father and son staged you bite me, and I bite you.

Can not bear to look!

I really can't bear to look directly!

Fortunately, he was the only one who saw it, and no one else saw it!The great image of the emperor has been maintained!

Zhao Yao fought with Emperor Wu of Zhou for a while, and when he was tired, he lay on Emperor Wu of Zhou's legs and gasped for breath.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't blush or breathe, he raised his hand and gently patted his youngest son's back.

Zhao Yao lay on Emperor Zhou Wu's lap and fell asleep after a while.

Emperor Wu of Zhou changed his posture and held Zhao Yaoheng in his arms.Looking down and seeing that the younger son was really asleep, he couldn't help chuckling and said, "Sleep as soon as you say it, it's not a pig or anything."

Sun Kui said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, you scolded yourself again.

Zhao Yao blushed because of the playfulness just now, which made him look even cuter.

Emperor Wu of Zhou stretched out his hand and gently slapped Zhao Yao's little face.Zhao Yao turned over and buried his small face in Emperor Zhou Wu's arms.

Afraid of waking Zhao Yao up, Sun Kui said in a very low voice, "Your Majesty, I will take the Tenth Highness with you to rest."

"Wait for a while." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, patting Zhao Yao's back lightly, "I'll hold him down when he falls asleep."

"Yes." Sun Kui stepped aside again.He saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou held the child in the correct posture, and made His Highness the Tenth Prince sleep comfortably.Also, the emperor saw His Highness the Tenth Prince's eyes full of kindness.

The current emperor is completely a loving father, so there is no such thing as an unruly appearance just now.

"Your Majesty, you clearly love the Tenth Highness so much, why do you always bully and tease the Tenth Highness?" Sun Kui still couldn't hold back, and asked the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Didn't I just say that my son is just for bullying." Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a smile, "Look how fun it is to bully him."

Sun Kui: "... Your Majesty, if you are like this, His Highness will hate you more and more."

"I am such a good father, how could Xiao Shi hate me?"

Sun Kui: "..." Your Majesty, haven't you noticed that His Royal Highness called you "Stinky Father"?

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked down at his youngest son who was sleeping soundly in his arms, with love in his eyes.Then, he stood up and went to the next room, and gently put Zhao Yao on the bed.And carefully covered Zhao Yao with a quilt.

Zhao Yao opened his eyes in a daze, saw Emperor Wu of Zhou, and cursed with a small mouth: "Stinky Father Emperor" After finishing speaking, he turned over and rolled into the bed.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou cursed amusedly and dotingly: "Stinky brat."

He walked out of the house and told Tong Xi, "Take care of Xiao Shi."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou turned around and went to another house.

An old man with white hair in Taoist robes was waiting for Emperor Wu of Zhou.When he saw Emperor Wu of Zhou coming, he quickly got up and saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"The old way sees the emperor."

Emperor Wu of Zhou stepped forward and helped the old man himself.

"Master, you don't need to be polite."

The old man smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be broken."

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked the old man to sit down, and he sat down opposite the old man.

Sun Kui hurriedly brought tea.

Emperor Wu of Zhou poured a cup of tea for the old man himself, and immediately put it in front of the old man with both hands.

"Master, please use tea."

"Your Majesty, please be polite." The old man took the teacup and lowered his head to take a few sips of tea.

While drinking tea, Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the old man opposite him.

"After more than [-] years, the master is still the same as before, without any changes." Emperor Wu of Zhou and the old man are old acquaintances, and the last time they met was more than [-] years ago.

"The emperor is different." The old man smiled kindly, "The eyes of the emperor are much firmer than ten years ago." Twenty years ago, when the old man saw Emperor Wu of Zhou, there was a trace of anger in the eyes of Emperor Wu of Zhou. At a loss.

"Twenty years ago, I never thought of being the emperor of the Great Zhou, but now that I am the emperor of the Great Zhou, my eyes are naturally different."

"The old Taoist said back then that you were the Son of Heaven, but you scolded the old Taoist at that time."

Mentioning the events of that year, Emperor Wu of Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Big brother was still alive at that time, Master, if you say that I am the real dragon emperor, I will definitely be angry."

"Master, you didn't tell me that something would happen to my elder brother at that time."

"The secret must not be leaked," said the old man.

"Then why did you reveal that I would be emperor?"

"Because at that time you didn't want to bear the burden of all beings in the world." The old man said kindly, "The old man was still worried about you before."

"Worried that I can't be the emperor?"

The old man smiled, but did not speak.

"Is Master relieved now?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are a good king who loves his people like a son." The old man's expression suddenly became very serious, "It's lucky that the people of this Great Zhou have such a good emperor like you."

Hearing the old man praise him so much, Emperor Wu of Zhou was a little flattered and said: "I don't dare to do it. I just did what I should do, but I didn't do it well enough." Da Zhou has just started, and he still has a lot of things to do. "Master, do you still remember one thing you told me back then?"

"Remember." The old man said with a smile, "Da Zhou will welcome an emperor who will bring peace and prosperity."

"If I'm not wrong, the emperor you said brought peace and prosperity is not me, but my son, right?"

The old man did not answer Zhou Wudi's question directly, but asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, why don't you think that you brought peace and prosperity to Great Zhou?"

"If I live long, maybe it will bring prosperity to Great Zhou, but I can't live too long." Emperor Wu of Zhou seemed cynical, but his heart was like a bright mirror. "What I can bring to Great Zhou is peace, but the world is not completely peaceful now, but before I die, Great Zhou will be completely peaceful." Emperor Wu of Zhou still had this confidence.

"It is precisely because of this that your son brought prosperity to the Great Zhou." The old man looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou with admiration, "Now the Great Zhou is flourishing, and this is all thanks to you, Your Majesty."

"It really is my son." Emperor Wu of Zhou deliberately asked, "Which one of my sons is it?"

The old man said with a smile: "Your Majesty, didn't you already know it in your heart?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou pretended to have an expression of "I don't know anything", "Master thinks highly of me, and I don't know how to look at faces, so how do I know which son it is?"

"Your Majesty, why didn't you bring His Highness here?"

"Master, do you know again?"

The old man didn't speak, just smiled.

"He fell asleep."

"The old man will follow the emperor to have a look."

Seeing that the old man was so active, Emperor Wu of Zhou was a little surprised: "Master, are you so enthusiastic?"

The old man took a deep look at Emperor Wu of Zhou, and immediately said with deep meaning: "The old man came here this time for this purpose."

This sentence made Emperor Wu of Zhou a little surprised: "The master came to the capital this time not to meet me, but to meet Xiao Shi?"

"Exactly." The old man stood up and said, "Please lead the way, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at the old man suspiciously, and immediately took him to see Zhao Yao who was taking a nap.

The old man sat by the bed, staring at Zhao Yao who was sleeping sweetly with burning eyes.After a moment, he stood up and left the house.

Emperor Wu of Zhou and the old man returned to the previous room.Emperor Wu of Zhou hurriedly asked, "How?"

The old man said inexplicably: "The time is not yet ripe."

Emperor Wu of Zhou understood what the old man meant, nodded in agreement and said, "He is still young, and the time is indeed immature."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Tenth Highness is the same as you were back then." The old man smiled, "Your father and son have very similar temperaments."

"Xiao Shi is indeed the one who resembles me the most." Emperor Wu of Zhou shook the teacup in his hand slightly, and the bright golden tea swayed gently in the teacup, "So, I want him to do what he wants to do." He can't do what he wants in this life, so he hopes that Xiao Shi can do what he wants to do.

"Your Majesty, the Tenth Highness has a mission to come down to this world. He has to bear the heavy responsibility of the common people just like you." The old man said, "Even if you don't want the Tenth Highness to bear the responsibility of the world, God will still let the Tenth Highness bear the responsibility of the world." , because this is his mission in this world."

"As an emperor, I naturally hope that my son can be a good emperor and really bring prosperity to Great Zhou." Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a soft sigh, "As a father, I hope he live freely and happily."

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Tenth Highness cannot escape his fate." The old Taoist said meaningfully, "Since His Majesty's illness last year, his fate has been doomed, and no one can change it."

Emperor Wu of Zhou did not expect the old man to know that Zhao Yao was seriously ill last year.He was very surprised: "Master, how did you know about Xiao Shi's illness last year?"

The old man didn't answer, but looked at Emperor Zhou Wu quietly.

Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly thought of something, and he asked with a bad face: "So, Xiao Shi's serious illness last year was also destined?"

"Exactly." The old man said again, "The fate of His Royal Highness has also changed."

After hearing what the old man said, Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly thought that his youngest son had become much smarter since he fell ill last year, and that he had made many shocking good things since this year.

"Xiao Shi..." Liang Zhaoyi didn't tell Emperor Wu of Zhou that Zhao Yao was dreaming, after all, this kind of thing was too unimaginable.

The old man said, "It's still your son, His Highness the Tenth Prince."

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't understand what the old man meant, and felt that his words were quite inexplicable: "Xiao Shi is of course my son."

"Your Majesty, before the time is ripe, His Highness the Tenth Highness should not stay in the capital." The old man reminded Emperor Wu of Zhou, "When His Highness is an adult, let His Highness stay away from the capital. At that time, His Highness will do many amazing things."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked in astonishment: "Away from the capital?"

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the farther the better!"

Emperor Wu of Zhou wanted to ask another question, but the old man changed the subject and talked about other things instead of Zhao Yao.

 There is one more tonight.

  Zhao Yao: There is a father who fights with his son for food, really tired.

  Emperor Wu of Zhou: I am very happy.

  Zhao Yao: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
