Chapter 479 Ten years of forbearance
Zhao Yuanqi's depression of being locked up in the Marquis's Mansion, his mother's anger of being unjustly killed by Bai, and Hongdou's jealousy of getting married, all burst out at this moment.
He stayed in the house all day alone.
In the evening, the housekeeper of the Prince Lu's Mansion knocked on the door of Prince Cheng's Mansion.
Prince Cheng’s Mansion soon came to Prince Lu’s Mansion in a sedan chair.
He walked into the study and saw the ground was messy and the books and cups were broken. Zhao Yuanqi sat in a ring chair with a gloomy expression.
King Cheng stepped over the broken cup and walked to Zhao Yuanqi, with a gentle voice: "Yuanqi, what's wrong?"
Zhao Yuanqi raised his head, his eyes full of blood.
He whispered hoarsely: "Uncle Cheng, what you said yesterday is still counting?"
A strange color flashed in King Cheng's eyes.
He smiled slightly and said, "Accounting naturally."
Zhao Yuanqi sat upright: "What are the plans for the Emperor?"
King Cheng closed the door of the study, found a chair to sit down, and said in a low voice: "I have always been planning this matter in my heart. Originally, although your father was harsh on me, as long as he could still make up for it, I would accept it. Who knew that now... he would even move my only daughter, and I couldn't stand it."
Zhao Yuanqi took a deep breath and said, "Uncle is planning, even his father?"
"Don't worry, I will never hurt your father at all." Uncle Cheng said, "Uncle only wants to support you in succession. As for your father, as long as he gives up the throne and becomes the Supreme Emperor, it's okay. I have only one request to withdraw Rong Yue's decree."
"But, there are three days left, the marriage team is about to set off." Zhao Yuanqi said, "In such a short time, it is too late to make any preparations."
King Cheng said slowly: "Yuan Qi, I have been preparing for ten years."
Zhao Yuanqi was shocked: "Uncle, you..."
"Are you surprised?" King Cheng said indifferently, "Uncle is just preparing for this. I said that as long as your father gives us some way to live, I will be willing to stay safe and steady. But your father refuses to give it, and it forces me to go desperately. I can only do this."
Zhao Yuanqi looked at the old uncle and felt a little cold on his back.
This emperor is the oldest among the princes. He always looks gentle and honest, and is extremely respectful to his father, and has never surpassed him at all.
Compared with the rebellious and unruly uncle, there are two extremes.
Who would have thought that after such an honest face, there would be a full ten years of tolerance.
"Since the emperor has already prepared enough and can get things done by himself, why should I come to me?" Zhao Yuanqi said.
"Haha, the emperor is old after all, and I don't expect to have any ambitions. Besides, I don't have a son, so there is always someone who inherits the Great Zhou Dynasty." King Cheng said, "I only want to live a few comfortable days. Yuan Qi, do you understand?"
Zhao Yuanqi said: "Why don't the emperor look for the King of Jin?"
King Cheng shook his head: "The King of Jin is not good. He is too timid and obeys the prince's advice. Besides, his mother's status is too low, and it is really not qualified to inherit the throne. Yuan Qi, you are different. You are the queen's legitimate son."
Zhao Yuanqi said, "Where is the prince?"
"Crown Prince?" King Cheng sneered, "He is already the crown prince. As long as he waits safely to be the emperor's brother, why should he take this risk with me?"
