Chapter 17
In the end, between him and the emperor, it was nothing more than a bad relationship...

When I was a child, the emperor was still a little prince, and he was still a little general.When the little prince met him at that time, he always liked to scramble and grab things.I don't want anything else for the little prince, but I want his. I don't know why.

When studying, the little prince specially asked him to be a companion.Obviously the two of them studied together, but the little prince always likes to snatch his books and take his pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

When he was studying martial arts, the prince refused to learn from the famous teacher invited by his father, but insisted on following him to study in the general's mansion.Practicing martial arts with him every day in front of the old general, competing for the old general's attention, the prince did it with great joy.

Later, when he went to provide disaster relief, the prince smiled and robbed him of the task of taking the disaster-stricken area away.Although the two went together later, the little prince was very happy about it.

When he was fourteen years old, barbarians invaded the border, and his father set off to fight.Soon after, the barbarians were repelled, but his father, the old general, also died.

On the day when the coffin of the old general was welcomed back, the prince who was by his father's side saw him who usually didn't show any expression, and at that moment, he looked very fragile.

I can't help feeling distressed.The prince found a reason and stayed with him.

Seeing that there was no trace of blood on his face, after he walked into the house holding the ashes of the old general, the prince actually wanted to follow.It is conceivable that he lost his mother since he was a child, and only the old general raised him with his own hands.Now...maybe need to be quiet...

After standing outside the door for a whole morning, the prince finally couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to push the door open.

There was a smell of wine, and what came into view were a few messy wine jars, and...he was curled up beside the table and weeping while holding the urn.

The prince couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him, "Idiot, you still have me, I will accompany you."

He glanced at the prince and said nothing.

The prince couldn't bear it anymore, but he didn't know how to comfort others, so he had to tell him that if he did this again, believe it or not, he would cry for him too!
Seeing that his reaction was still flat, the 12-year-old Crown Prince really burst into tears.

He finally had a reaction, stretched out his hand to wipe away the prince's tears, and asked with a wry smile, didn't the prince fight with him enough since he was a child, and today he came to fight and cry with him...

The prince nestled in his arms and didn't speak.I just wanted to comfort him, and I was right!Unknowingly, the prince pouted.

He stroked the head of the man in his arms, a glint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

He later became a civil servant and broke away from the generations of military generals in his family.In addition to the shock of the old general's death, there is another thing that the prince needs powerful civil servants to make suggestions.

In the year when the prince was fourteen, the former emperor passed away, and the prince finally ascended the throne and became emperor.

That year, he had already taken the position of Shangshu.On the day when the prince ascended the throne, he accompanied the prime minister and all the officials to meet him.

The crown prince on the throne, no, although the emperor looked majestic towards the civil and military officials, but when he looked at him, there was some imperceptible tenderness and a little friendship in his eyes.

He in the palace, if he wants to, he has a good idea in his heart, and he must protect the emperor who is already the emperor, and he will be considerate for the rest of his life.

The emperor has been on the throne for two years. Although he is diligent and caring for the people, there is still no one in the harem.The ministers played, but were dismissed one by one.The emperor said, in this life, he doesn't want three thousand beauties in the harem, but only wants to have a true love.

The relationship between him and the emperor has become deeper and deeper over the years. They both understand each other, but they haven't tried to break the love in their hearts.

That day, the prime minister found him and asked him to persuade the emperor to accept his concubine, which he did.Because he understands that the emperor cannot be without heirs.And if they really got together, letting a man enter the harem would only make the world laugh at the emperor.

After coming to the imperial study room as usual, he first sat quietly for a while, and then he said leisurely, saying that the emperor was old enough to accept a concubine.

But the emperor, who was used to saying this to his ministers on weekdays, was furious when he heard him say it.

Standing up and approaching him step by step, the emperor asked him, if he loves himself, why would he push himself to those women?

His eyes darkened, his head turned to one side, and he only said, "Your Majesty, you have exceeded the norm..."

Seeing that he was unwilling to answer himself, the emperor changed the subject instead, and became even angrier.She stretched out her hand, turned his face back, looked straight into his eyes, and said with a cold snort: "Today, I will let Ai Qing see what a real transgression is!" After speaking, she kissed his lips. lip.

He was stunned, his mind suddenly lost, and he seemed a little dazed.After finally regaining consciousness, he pushed the emperor away and fled.

The emperor who was pushed away touched the corner of his mouth, um...it feels good.Don't be in a hurry, you can take your time, I will always take him down.

But it never occurred to him that in the next few months, he complained of illness.One is not to come to court, the other is not to go out, and the third is not allowed to visit... Therefore, the two never saw each other again.

"I'm going on an expedition."

When they met again, it was the emperor who ran to the Minister's Mansion on the pretext of visiting him, and used his power to find him.

When I saw him, he was having a drink.Looking at the man whom he hadn't seen for several months, the emperor hesitated to speak, but later, he still uttered this sentence.

While pouring a glass of wine, he looked at the emperor lightly, as if he had nothing to do with himself. "If the Holy Majesty wants to go to war, he will go. The minister is a civil servant, and he doesn't understand the art of war. What's the point of telling me?"

Growing up together, the emperor knew that he was born into a family of military generals, and his strength was not comparable to that of ordinary people. How could he not understand the slightest art of war?But with his current appearance, doesn't he really care about himself?Thinking of this possibility, the emperor couldn't help but increase his tone and called out his name.

Staring straight into his eyes, he found that there was still no emotion in his eyes.Not even self-mockery;

Just staring at each other for a long time...

Finally, the emperor, who was so angry with him, had no choice but to leave unwillingly when he thought that he was about to go to war.After this trip, I don't know when we can meet again.But it doesn't matter, when I return from the expedition, I will definitely let him change his mind!
But she never thought that the last meeting between the emperor and him would be on that battlefield...

actually.He himself was worried about the emperor, so he kept secretly following the army and secretly protecting the emperor.

It's a pity that the emperor's army was tricked that day, and he was also tricked.Waiting to break through the siege and come out to rescue, but it was still too late.The emperor was surrounded by enemy troops and taken as a hostage.

On that day, he laid out a sophisticated plan and went to the nearest border for reinforcements.After preparing for a long time, on the second night, alone, he broke into the enemy camp to rescue the emperor.

The people were successfully rescued, but in the middle of fleeing, they were discovered.In desperation, he had to fight side by side with the emperor and kill the enemy together.

Although it was said that they were fighting side by side, in reality, he didn't hurt the emperor at all, and he tried his best to protect the emperor.

By the time reinforcements arrived, he was already seriously wounded and dying.

"Don't cry..." He wiped away the tears from the corners of the emperor's eyes, and smiled, "Remember, you must live well; remember, you must marry a wife and have children, and let them love you for me; remember, be diligent and love the people..."

Irreversible, his hand dropped down, and his eyes also slowly closed.

The emperor was left alone, hugging his dead body, crying heartbreakingly...

The ministers found that after returning to the court, the emperor became cold and even stopped smiling.The only relief is that the emperor finally agreed to accept the concubine.

However, after the emperor was not sealed, even the concubine was only accepted and gave birth to a little prince.

Among the people, almost everyone knows such words: Rumor has it that the emperor's concubine is eighty percent like Mr. Xian Shangshu; Master Shangshu...

The emperor likes to hug the little prince, and every time he hugs and hugs, he will shed tears and whisper, in the next life, he will definitely watch the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with him...

You are dead, so is my heart.In this life, I can only live up to the trust of the king.I only hope that in the next life, I can be with you without wealth and honor, and be accompanied by plain clothes.
