Chapter 789
The emperor wants to guard more than just his throne.

And the world.

The word "saint" has never meant just enjoyment.

But not everyone who covets that position understands this.

Emperor Shuncheng might have figured it out in the early years, but as he grew older and held a higher position, his body, drained by wine and sex, gradually forgot his original intention.

After all, in this position, no one can say "no" to him.

"I am your father." Emperor Shuncheng looked at Mu Jianghan with tired and hollow eyes, like a dying old tree.

"When I was young, the sage said not to expect you to be a good father, but I hope you will be a good emperor."

But it's all in vain to say anything now.

Mu Jianghan handed over his hands and prepared to leave.

At this time, Mu Xichen, who was kneeling on the ground silently, suddenly turned his head and looked over, saying, "Can Dad issue a holy order that as long as Shangguan comes over and surrenders, he will be spared the death penalty?"

Emperor Shuncheng originally wanted to say something.

But after hearing this, I couldn't say it anymore.

Mu Xichen grew up in the imperial city. Li Quanfu, as someone who watched him grow up, had always been protective of him, but now that he was dead, he didn't say a word and only wanted to let Shangguan Mingxing get away with it.

The last light in Emperor Shuncheng's eyes faded, turning into a silent silence.

The atmosphere is awkward.

Mu Jianghan wanted to find an excuse to escape, but Mu Xichen blocked his path and it seemed a bit deliberate to go around.

He tried to change course.

But before walking out, I heard Emperor Shuncheng's old voice coming from behind: "Go back, your accommodation has been arranged. Now that there is chaos outside, don't leave the palace for the time being. Stay in the palace honestly. "

He also said this not long ago.

But the mood is completely different.

Mu Jianghan couldn't get it.

After saluting, he excused himself and left.

Mu Xichen hesitated to speak, but Emperor Shuncheng did not give him a chance to speak and directly asked the palace attendants outside to take him away.After everyone left, he sat on the dragon chair made of pure gold. His old hands repeatedly touched the armrests, wondering what he was thinking.

The palace attendant went to see off the two highnesses and came back to resume his duties.

If Yu Cang were here, he would definitely recognize this palace attendant as the one with whom he had some friendship before.

He was brought out by Li Quanfu. Now that Li Quanfu is gone, the palace has suffered heavy losses, and Emperor Shuncheng has no one to use, so he is asked to come closer.

"Saint, your two highnesses have been delivered safely."

The little palace attendant is not as smart as Li Quanfu, but he is more simple and honest and has no scheming.

Emperor Shuncheng felt relieved after using it.

"Did they say anything?"

"No."

Mu Jianghan is the type who doesn't talk nonsense. No matter what is given to him, he just completes it step by step and doesn't ask or say much about anything else.

As for Mu Xichen...

Emperor Shuncheng didn't want to hear anything from him now.

"Which one of them do you think is more suitable to inherit the throne?" Emperor Shuncheng suddenly asked this question because he didn't know what was wrong.

How could the young palace servant dare to answer such a question? He quickly knelt down trembling.

When your knees touch the ground, there is a "thud" sound.

Emperor Shuncheng didn't look at him, but stared numbly at the door of the imperial study.

I don't know how long it took before he said: "That's all, go and take down the box behind the plaque in the Imperial Study Room."

He has no choice.

Whether it was God's will or someone's deliberate decision, he had no other choice.

"Take it off and give it to me."

"Yes."
