Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 3908 34. Moral Education Makes the Country Prosperous (Shangguan Zhuhou Has a Dilemma)
Shangguan Zhuhou was so angry at Shangguan Kunyang that he was about to explode. How could this kid say such a rebellious thing? Who was he working so hard for?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Zhuhou patted his chest and gasped, then he closed his eyes and took two deep breaths. He usually relied on this action to calm his mind. After he took three deep breaths, his breathing became smooth.

"Come here, change your clothes."

After teaching his son a lesson, Shangguan Zhuhou could not have too many emotions, because he had to go see Wu Xuanyue to teach him the art of controlling spirits.

His eunuch was the one who witnessed all this happening. He saw the mood changes in the elderly Shangguan Zhuhou, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He just silently went to get clothes for him.

The moment Shangguan Zhuhou's clothes were taken off, the mottled skin and flesh exposed in front of him were the traces left by repeated operations. The patches of black corpse spots were like a desolate ruin where no life could be seen anymore.

The dense needle holes and knife scratches on the body are traces left by artificial medical techniques.

"His Majesty……"

Seeing this already defeated body still struggling, and Shangguan Kunyang being such an ignorant child, Shangguan Zhuhou's eunuch couldn't help but feel sorry for his master.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my body?"

"No... that is, why don't you let Prince Kunyang take a look at your body?"

"He's a kid, why let him watch this? It's disgusting. I can handle the pain myself, there's no need to make my own kids suffer and worry about it."

"But……"

The eunuch who was changing clothes for Shangguan Zhuhou wanted to say something but didn't know how to express his feelings.

"I understand what you mean. Kunyang is a young man who is not sensible and often irritates me. However, he has qualities that we don't have. Isn't this pure heart what we want to protect? I really don't want the sins of our fathers to continue to pass on to the children. Isn't it because of human greed that Dongcang has come to this point?"

At this point, Shangguan Zhuhou sighed, "In fact, the current Dongcang is no different from my body, except that it is shabby and ugly under the precious clothes. This is not the life we ​​should have as human beings. As human beings, we must not only have a clean appearance, but also a clean heart to live a stable and long life."

During these days, while Shangguan Zhuhou was teaching Wu Xuanyue martial arts, he also received inner purification from Wu Xuanyue. After listening to some truths, he felt his heart became clear and his mood became relaxed.

"Dongcang has plundered so much over the years. We have gained a lot, but we have pieced together all these things and thought they were good stuff, but we don't even know what our roots are? The glitz is only on the surface, how can there be anything at the core? Just like me now, I am left with a hollowed-out shell, only thinking about other people's things, but not knowing how to improve myself... This is the failure of our generation..."

As he spoke, Shangguan Zhuhou was filled with emotion.

Hearing this, the eunuch was stunned. He shook his hand and the dried flower that he habitually wore on Shangguan Zhuhou's chest fell down. Shangguan Zhuhou glanced at his subordinate who was crouching in panic. He probably guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled and explained: "Are you thinking that His Majesty the Dragon King was bewitched by someone to say such a treasonous and unrighteous thing that violated the ancestral teachings?"

Who would have thought that this man knelt on the ground, shaking all over and shaking his head desperately, tears streaming down his face. He suppressed his emotions and spoke with a choked voice.

"No... No... Your Majesty the Dragon King... What kind of power... made you... made you figure it out..."

At this point, Shangguan Zhuhou slowly squatted down, and he smiled and said, "Over the years... you have followed me and suffered a lot. One coup after another in the court has caused you to lose your family and the trust between you and others. You all want to stop, but the situation doesn't allow you to stop at all... right?"

After hearing this, the man's tears welled up even more fiercely. He nodded first, and then quickly shook his head.

It is obvious that nodding was his instinctive reaction, while shaking his head was the result of him realizing that his behavior was wrong and quickly making up for it.

"You have been with me for so many years, and you have been the one who has been oppressed the most... I have tried to save your family's lives, but... you have ruined the future of your descendants. I have been thinking about this situation during this period. Is it really right? Is this situation of thieves and prostitutes really the way the Quan family should go? What force has caused you and me to lose our instincts, like a wild horse with a bridle, running wild and uncontrollably? If this continues from generation to generation, our descendants will also follow this habit and pass it on. The dynasty will have fewer and fewer descendants and will only face a situation of population decline."

"His Majesty……"

The eunuch raised his head slowly, his tearful eyes mixed with complicated emotions. Power had made him suffer so much that he became timid and no longer dared to speak much or express his true feelings.

"Hmm~ Well, it's still more attractive when it's alive. If you take away the vitality that it should have in order to please others, what's the use of drying it up? In the end, it will still be withered and lifeless."

Even without waiting for the other party to speak, Shangguan Zhuhou had already understood the other party's heart through his expression. After all, this was his confidant who had been with him for many years. If there was no such tacit understanding, he would not be at ease to keep this person by his side.

As he said this, Shangguan Zhuhou took the dried flower from the other party's hand and sighed, then inserted it into the other party's bun. He patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile: "Some grudges are over when they are settled in our generation. Newcomers should not hold past grudges in their hearts. It is better to go into battle lightly than to go forward with a heavy load. I hope that our descendants can reopen a new era of this dynasty, and let our generation settle the past grudges."

As he spoke, Shangguan Zhuhou slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

The eunuch lay silent on the ground for a long time. When he came to his senses, Shangguan Zhuhou had disappeared.

"Your Majesty... you really protected the eldest prince so well... How could the eldest prince have such a good father like you?"

Shangguan Zhuhou, who was walking away, felt desolate inside, his eyes were empty and he smiled bitterly.

"As a parent, I admit that I am biased... Perhaps it is because of my selfishness that this irreversible situation has been created... All the sins were caused by me alone, and it is time for me to end it..."
