My apprentice is not easy

Chapter 165 Father and Son
On the way to the palace, Li Xin kept thinking, what would it be like after he met the emperor?
Tension or confrontation?

But when he arrived, he found that his guess was completely wrong.

The emperor was in plain clothes, sitting at the dining table, eating.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Meet the Emperor!"

Li Xin and He Yunwu entered the room to salute.

The emperor raised his eyes.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he opened his mouth.

"Get up!"

The two stood up, and the emperor waved at He Yunwu.

He Yunwu got the order and retreated to the outside.

And the eunuch standing next to the emperor also gave the maids next to him a look to make them leave.

When only the father and son and the eunuch were left in the room.

The emperor said to Li Xin.

"It came too slowly, I couldn't wait, so I started eating first."

Li Xin was silent for a moment.

Wait?Waiting for him to eat?

This is, completely beyond his expectation.

The emperor pointed to the opposite position and said casually.

"Sit."

Li Xin thought for a while, answered "Yes", and sat on the chair.

The eunuch hurriedly brought the bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Li Xin.

Li Xin looked at the bowls and chopsticks, and was silent for a while.

He raised his eyes to look at the emperor opposite, only to see that he had moved his chopsticks again.

Right now, it's time for lunch, if it's in my mansion, it should be on the dining table.

So, Li Xin just thought for a while, then picked up the chopsticks, and started with the dishes he was interested in.

Anyway, don't eat for nothing.

Seeing him move, the emperor smiled and spoke while eating.

"Prime Minister Zuo, it's been quite noisy during this time."

Li Xin paused for a while, then continued to act as if nothing had happened.

The emperor didn't stop either.

After eating a mouthful of food, he continued.

"Most of the people in the court are now playing, let me conclude this matter and return Zuo Cheng and others innocent."

Li Xin swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Zuo Cheng and the others confessed on their own, and they should not fail to find evidence based on the results."

Unless the people in the Ministry of Punishment are trash.

Li Xin did not say the latter sentence.

"It can be found, but some people don't want the evidence to be released."

As the emperor said, he changed the soup spoon and started serving the soup himself.

The eunuch next to him hurriedly reached out his hand, wanting to take it and serve him the soup.

But the emperor stopped him with a look, and could only retreat in embarrassment.

The emperor filled the soup, picked up the spoon and took a sip.

"Speaking of which, I never imagined that you would be able to snatch a marriage."

Li Xinmo.

In fact, he didn't expect it either.

So currently regretting it.

"It's been a while since we snatched the marriage. Since the matter hasn't been settled yet, it means... Father, you don't plan to expose this matter."

The emperor looked up at him while drinking the soup.

Smiled lightly.

"That's why you and the girl from the Lin family live in peace in the mansion?"

It is right to live with peace of mind, but Lin Qingwan is not included.

Li Xin ate the food in silence, without answering the question.

The emperor drank the soup and put down what was in his hand.

The eunuch hurriedly brought a cloth towel and wiped his hands.

The emperor sat upright, looked at Li Xin who continued to eat with a calm face, and laughed again.

"You are better than your third brother, unfortunately..."

The emperor shook his head and did not continue.

Li Xin kept moving, but he filled in the words in his heart.

It's a pity that with alien blood, he is destined not to be the one on the throne.

"The matter with Zuo Cheng will be over in these two days. I... can't allow an existence that forms cliques, takes bribes, and connives at the murder of his son to continue to roam free!"

Hearing this, Li Xin finally stopped what he was doing.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, he bowed to the emperor.

"Thank you, Father."

The emperor waved his hand casually.

"You continue to eat your food, but you can't come to me this time and go back hungry."

"Yes."

If it is done, Li Xin will have no burden to eat.

It was the emperor who looked at him and then at the food on the table.

After thinking about it, he picked up the chopsticks again.

"……His Majesty!"

The eunuch spoke, his tone full of helplessness.

Li Xin raised his eyes to look, but was also silent.

No wonder the emperor has gotten fatter and fatter in recent years. It turned out to be...

"What? No food?!"

The emperor looked at the eunuch coldly.

The eunuch retreated silently, with bitterness on his face.

The emperor ate again.

"It's not Zuo Cheng's business that I called you today."

"Before robbing the marriage, you and the girl from the Lin family boarded a boat."

"After that, when you two came back, the ship... disappeared."

Li Xin's movements stopped again.

But the emperor asked him with a smile.

"Where's the piano?"

Li Xin lowered his eyes, did not look up to look at the emperor, but thought secretly.

Both the Qin and the monster on the ship were related to the late emperor, he knew this before.

But he never thought that the current emperor also knew about Qin.

Now that he knew it, he wouldn't be unaware of the murder of the demon. Then... the emperor also knew the cause of his mother's death?
You know, but you still uncovered it?
Li Xin's expression turned cold.

The emperor seemed not to notice his emotions, and continued.

"I am not the heir of the late emperor, you should know that."

"If there were no problems between the first emperor and the empress at the beginning, then the person sitting in this position should be the qin spirit of that qin."

"The first emperor... is an infatuated kind."

As he spoke, the emperor laughed first.

"To say something disrespectful, it's not worth it in my opinion to do that for a woman!"

"At the beginning, Ji guy did taboo research with monsters, and I don't know how many people have been harmed!"

"When Fu Yaosi went to investigate, he encountered fierce resistance, and even... the Ji family opened the space channel and let the demons enter the capital."

As the emperor said, some fear appeared unconsciously on his face.

"I haven't seen Kyoto that day, but I've heard that... many, many people died, and the streets of Kyoto were all stained red with blood."

Saying that, the first emperor sighed.

"The first empress is a member of the Ji family, no one believes that she is innocent, only the first emperor, with his own strength, saved her."

"The first emperor used the cold palace to isolate all news from the outside world, and to hide everything from the first empress."

"The first queen committed suicide, went crazy, and finally... died."

"The first emperor actually knew that the first empress was pregnant and had their child, but that child was stillborn."

"So he can only try his best to protect the living person...but he can't protect him."

Xu Shi felt that the matter was heavy, so the emperor put down his chopsticks.

"I was chosen by the late emperor from the clan and taught by him."

"After the first emperor confirmed that I was able to stabilize the government, he passed away due to illness."

"It's not all due to illness, remorse, self-blame... He is himself and chose to end."
