Chapter 1743 He stepped on it, and there is no turning back
Chapter 1744 He stepped on it, and there is no turning back
After entering the palace, Rong Su sent Liu Wei to the gate of Zhaohe Palace just like last time, and then took Xiao Li who had changed his clothes to Rong Jindong's bedroom.

On the way, Rong Su saw that Xiao Li was a child, and he should be more eloquent than Rong Leng or Liu Wei, so he deliberately asked in a friendly tone, "Have you been working hard these past few years?"

Xiao Li was happy because he entered the palace, and his attitude towards Rong Su was also very good, so he obediently replied: "It's not hard."

Rong Su asked again: "What have you experienced all these years?"

Xiao Li said crisply: "No special experience."

"Didn't it fall into the sea?"

"Yes."

"Then?"

"It's fine after that."

"Why did it take you so long to come back?"

"Because I'm going to take a boat."

"The boat will take three years?"

"The boat will take a long time."

"..."

Rong Su fell silent, he stared at Xiao Li for a long time, as if he was trying to make sure that the child was just playing tricks on him.

Then Xiao Li met Rong Su's eyes, and said neatly: "If the Seventh Prince wants to know anything, just ask Uncle Rong, just ask my mother, I don't know anything, I'm just a child."

Rong Su: "..."

Another quarter of an hour later, Rong Su brought him to Rong Jindong's bedroom. At that time, Rong Jindong had just returned from his study and was preparing for lunch.

Seeing Uncle Qihuang bringing a young boy, Rong Jindong didn't recognize him at first, and after he stared at the young boy for a while, he was surprised to find that this is not Xiao Li?

Rong Jindong suddenly stood up from the chair, and the surrounding palace people looked at their master unexpectedly.

Rong Jindong immediately regained his composure, stepped forward to greet Rong Su, exchanged a few pleasantries, and logically sent all the palace people outside the palace.

When the palace was free, Rong Jindong showed a smile, pinched Xiao Li's face, and said: "I know you came back two days ago, I didn't expect you to enter the palace, are you here to see me?"

Xiao Li nodded obediently, looked around the environment of the main hall, and looked at the table full of delicacies.

Rong Jindong held Xiao Li's hand, asked him to sit down, and invited Rong Su to sit down as well, before asking: "Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together, we haven't seen each other for many years, it's hard for Xiao Li to remember Xiao Jin elder brother."

Rong Su had no intention of disturbing the two children, so he went to the Shangqing Palace to pay his respects to the emperor, and left first.

As soon as he left, Rong Jindong deliberately said to the people outside the palace: "Uncle Qihuang went to see his father to discuss state affairs, so he handed over younger brother Xiaoqing to my care. You go to the study to take a leave of absence from your husband, and said I won't go in the afternoon, and the homework will be due tomorrow."

After the explanation, Rong Jindong went back to the main hall, saw that Xiao Li was still sitting without moving his chopsticks, so he personally picked up the food for him, put it in his bowl, and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, I will return it when I finish eating." There are so many things I want to tell you."

Xiao Li picked up the chopsticks and ate the food, and when both of them had finished eating, Rong Jindong dragged Xiao Li into the inner hall, and sat side by side with him on the side of the bed to talk.

Xiao Li glanced at the decorations in the inner hall, and he had an idea in his mind, but nothing showed on his face, he asked: "Brother Xiaojin, how are you doing now?"

Rong Jindong paused for a moment, then touched Xiao Li's head, and said, "Forget it."

Xiao Li said: "When we separated before, I was very worried. Your father treats you badly, and your mother is a stepmother. Although the fifth prince will take care of you, you are not a family after all. As an outsider, the fifth prince is not It's easy to interfere with your affairs at home... But now, seeing that you're doing well, I'm relieved, Brother Xiao Jin, as long as you really feel good, then it's good."

Rong Jindong restrained the warm smile that had been brimming with Xiaoli ever since he entered the door, he stared seriously at the boy who was much younger than himself in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Li shook his head, still looking very happy: "It's nothing, it's really nothing, I just want to know if Brother Xiao Jin is doing well, I've always cared about this matter."

Rong Jindong's face became stern, and his expression became very bad.

Seeing how serious he was, Xiao Li stopped talking and lowered her eyes silently.

Rong Jindong stood up from the bed, walked directly opposite Xiao Li, and suddenly asked: "Did Uncle San Huang ask you to come, or Master asked you to come?"

Xiao Li raised his head in surprise, and looked at Rong Jindong.

Rong Jindong's face was already very dark: "How are you going to tell them? What did you find out, and how are you going to evaluate me?"

Xiao Li frowned, looked away, stood up from the bed, and said, "I'm leaving."

But Rong Jindong grabbed him, pulled him back, pressed him back on the bed, let him sit, stared into his eyes and said: "You haven't answered me yet."

If Xiao Li wanted to break free from Rong Jindong's grip, it would be easy, but he didn't resist, he just looked at brother Xiao Jin and felt that he was very strange.

"I'm going to tell them you're not having a good time, you're a different person."

Rong Jindong narrowed his eyes, clasped Xiao Li's shoulder with his fingers, exerting some force faintly.

Xiao Li pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "Maybe I shouldn't enter the palace, you don't need other people's concern."

Rong Jindong let out a long breath, let go of Xiao Li's shoulders, and slowly sat back next to Xiao Li, reaching out to wrap his arms around the young boy's shoulders.

Xiao Li didn't break free, just quietly waiting for him to speak.

After a while, Rong Jindong said: "Thank you for caring about me, I am doing well, really well."

Xiao Li heard that he didn't intend to tell the truth, he raised his head, looked around the bedroom, finally got up, and said: "I'm leaving."

Rong Jindong held him back again: "Wait for Uncle Seventh Emperor to pick you up, how do you go by yourself?"

Xiao Li didn't make a sound, just stood there.

Like nothing happened, Rong Jindong took his hand and led him to the study.

There are many gadgets in Rong Jindong's study, Xiao Li looked at those items that were expensive at first glance, and didn't take any of them.

Rong Jindong sat at the desk and finished his homework, while Xiao Li sat quietly on the soft bench.

After some time, Rong Su came back, Xiao Li got up, followed Rong Su, and after he left, Rong Jindong came back to the study again, looked at everything near the bench, and let out a deep breath.

Xiao Li sat on this bench for nearly half an hour just now. He didn't drink a sip of water, didn't eat a piece of pastry, and didn't touch a book. No nostalgia.

Rong Jindong knew that a small friendship when he was young should have come to an end after today.

People are like this. On the road of growth, you will encounter many choices. If you choose one path, you have to abandon the other path.

Being an emperor is not something everyone can do. Trust is the last thing an emperor needs.

This was the first lesson Rong Jindong learned three years ago when he received the emperor's education.

It was also the idea that Qin Guifei, the fifth emperor uncle, and the seventh emperor uncle had always instilled in him.

Now, he has already learned not to trust anyone, even those people around him who have been doing their best to help him.

To be a good emperor, you must be able to endure loneliness. You cannot depend on anyone. You need to listen to others, believe in others, and judge right from wrong completely objectively. You can’t influence your decisions because of friendship or friendship.

The emperor is the emperor of the people of the world, and what the emperor shoulders is not himself, but the people of the world.

To be a good emperor, the first price you need to pay is self.

You are not you, you are the emperor, the emperor is not a human being, and cannot have the emotions of ordinary people, because the emotions of ordinary people will only make you lose your mind and become fatuous and blind.

Imperial education, cruel and inhumane education.

This road was not chosen by Rong Jindong himself, someone else chose it for him, he stepped on it, and there is no turning back.
