Chapter 117 Why are you crying?

Liu Yuan knew that Emperor Jingyuan had more to say, so he remained silent.

Emperor Jingyuan continued, "I will kill all of the three clans of the Liu family."

Su Zhongqian was the first to get impatient and quickly stood up to plead, "Your Majesty, although A Yuan is from the Liu family, his merits can atone for his crime. Your Majesty, can you spare his life and let him serve Tianshuo?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Emperor Jingyuan's face, and the atmosphere in the entire Yuanyang Palace suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Su Zhongqian had been an official for many years, so he naturally knew that Emperor Jingyuan hated others interfering with his decisions the most. However, since it concerned Liu Yuan's life, he had to give it a try even at the risk of losing his job.

Xihe quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere, "Don't be anxious, Lord Su. Daddy won't kill that weird uncle. Daddy is a good king who knows right from wrong."

Emperor Jingyuan felt as if he was covered in honey. He snorted coldly, with a hint of arrogance, "Su Zhongqian, you are not even as good as a child."

Emperor Jingyuan had been majestic and cold for many years, and his ministers were terrified of him. It was rare that there were moments like this. Although he could not be described as amiable, he was somewhat more humane.

"I dare not. I know I was wrong. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." How could Su Zhongqian not hear the hidden meaning of Emperor Jingyuan's words? At this moment, he was overjoyed and felt tears in his eyes.

Emperor Jingyuan waved his hand and let the matter go.

"Liu Yuan is the eldest son recorded in the Liu family's genealogy. No matter what, there will be a Liu Yuan at the execution ground this time. As for which one, what do you think?"

Emperor Jingyuan's intention was to confirm the identity of "Liu Yuan" in the Ministry of Justice's prison and make him a scapegoat.

In this way, there is no need to make too much fuss about the Liu family's affairs, and the real Liu Yuan can be saved.

"Your Majesty, thank you!" Liu Yuan knelt on both knees and bowed solemnly to Emperor Jingyuan. The sound of his kowtow echoed in the Yuanyang Palace, just like a spirited general offering a passionate heart to the emperor.

Emperor Jingyuan nodded slightly as a sign of agreement.

Xihe ate cakes in Emperor Jingyuan's arms, and the cake crumbs were all over Emperor Jingyuan's body, leaving the black and gold dragon robe covered with crumbs.

"Dad, the bad guy died using Weird Uncle's identity. What will Weird Uncle be called in the future?" Xihe asked, "Without an identity, how can Weird Uncle go to the battlefield? When others call him, should they say 'Hey'?"

Liu Yuan suddenly raised his head, his heart filled with excitement.

It was a great fortune for him to be able to save his life. If he could return to the battlefield again, that would be unthinkable.

Emperor Jingyuan stared at the little girl with a smile on his face. Xihe pinched a piece of cake and stuffed it into Emperor Jingyuan's mouth, showing a flattering smile, "Daddy, please help me~"

Emperor Jingyuan was so annoyed by his own daughter that he lost his temper. He chewed the cake twice and hesitated for a while before saying, "Are you in good health enough to go to the battlefield?"

"Yes!" Liu Yuan responded immediately, "Thanks to your majesty, I have met a miracle doctor who has healed all my meridians."

Emperor Jingyuan nodded and said, "You can no longer use the identity of Liu Yuan. It is too troublesome. As for your surname, you can figure it out yourself. If you want to go to the border, you can retake the imperial examination this year, or start as a soldier in the army. It's your choice. I don't care."

Su Zhongqian's eyes lit up. He had been disgusted with the Liu family for a long time and had long wanted Liu Yuan to take his mother's surname. This was an opportunity.

The Su family has influence in both the court and the military, so no matter which path Liu Yuan takes, he will be on the road to success.

Liu Yuan showed a grateful smile, "I... thank you, Your Majesty. I will serve the country with all my heart and soul for the rest of my life!"

This bow was to Emperor Jingyuan and also to Xihe.

Why not walk the road you want to go again?

"Your Majesty, I, Su Zhongqian, thank you for your grace!" Su Zhongqian knelt beside Liu Yuan and bowed solemnly to the two people who came before him.

Both Emperor Jingyuan and Xihe have done great favors to the Su family, and it should be so.

"Okay, get off." After dealing with the matter, Emperor Jingyuan asked the two to leave and turned his attention to feeding his little daughter. "Why are you like a bird?"

Emperor Jingyuan looked at his little daughter with amusement as she pecking at the food bit by bit like a bird.

"My mother taught me that this way it's easier to digest."

Although the imperial physician said there was no problem, Concubine Chen was afraid that the baby would hurt her stomach, so she asked her to eat slowly and in small bites.

Emperor Jingyuan poked his daughter's face, which was considered as his agreement.

As the father and daughter were talking, Sanping suddenly came in. He looked at Xihe standing beside him, hesitantly, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Emperor Jingyuan glanced through the crack in the door and saw Chunhua waiting outside. He sneered and asked, "What is the Queen Mother going to do now?"

Sanping was upset when he knew about what happened to Emperor Jingyuan and the Queen Mother, so he picked out the key points and said, "The Queen Mother said...if Your Majesty does not forgive Lord Yun, she will..."

Sanping didn't dare to utter that word which was punishable by death.

Even if Sanping didn't say anything, Emperor Jingyuan would know, "She hanged herself, right?"

"Damn slave."

Emperor Jingyuan sneered, "I didn't deal with Yun Hou because I didn't have time to do it, but the Queen Mother rushed to remind me."

"Then...what should I do?" Sanping was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma.

"Go tell the Queen Mother, Marquis Yun, I must kill them, including all the members of the Yun family involved. I will not let them go." Emperor Jingyuan suddenly felt a little breathless. He turned around and found that his little daughter was slowly helping him breathe. The sadness in his heart was reduced a little. "If the Queen Mother is determined to hang herself, then I will let the entire Yun family be buried with her, including the one in the cold palace. Let the Queen Mother decide for herself."

Sanping agreed and walked out.

After years of worrying about state affairs and the hidden scars left by wars in his early years, Emperor Jingyuan finally felt overwhelmed.

Xihe quietly felt Emperor Jingyuan's pulse and asked, "Did Daddy not take the medicine after I left?"

Emperor Jingyuan choked up, "Ah, you mean that?"

Xihe's face suddenly fell, "What did Daddy promise me when I left? I won't talk to you anymore!"

The little girl turned around and was about to leave, but Emperor Jingyuan quickly pulled her back.

The little princess' temper has become worse and worse as she has been raised. If she is allowed to go out today, she will definitely not be coaxed back within ten days or half a month.

"Dad was too busy, so he forgot."

In fact, Emperor Jingyuan was dissatisfied with the hardship, so he arrived secretly every time.

Sanping would still advise him on these things when he was around, but in the past three months, the number of times he was sent out on errands has strangely increased.

Xihe did not struggle to jump down, but turned away, as if she did not want to pay attention to Emperor Jingyuan, "Excuse, you just sneaked here."

Emperor Jingyuan was at a loss as to what to do. As an emperor, he almost dragged Sanping to testify for him.

"Xihe, really..."

Emperor Jingyuan had just said half of his words when the little girl burst into tears, scaring him so much that he was at a loss what to do.

"Why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry." Emperor Jingyuan had never seen his precious daughter cry since he brought Xihe out of the cold palace. This time he was heartbroken.
