He was just a soul who transmigrated inside the book, even if there was no exchange with the Yu family, he was still occupying the body of the original owner, and he was not a rightful prince.
Zong Luo was tired and weary.
“Even if he did all these things and gave me everything he had, these were not what I wanted. In the end, it was just self-motivated and self-moved.”
Yu Beizhou, this madman.
This gamble should have been a game between two people, but when one person was crazy enough to throw away all his chips, it became a dedication without asking for anything in return. Like a moth to a flame, just to give the fire a chance to add a moment of fuel and jump high.
Clearly, Yu Beizhou gave everything, even everything that should belong to him, he willingly gave it to him, but Zong Luo could not feel moved at all in his heart, only found it funny.
Is this what he wanted?
He didn’t need it. He only needed a notification, an explanation, a confrontation instead of evasion.
These, Yu Beizhou never gave.
Zong Luo sarcastically said, “In trying to make me hate him, he really spared no effort.”
This stinky junior brother who was full of lies would only use lies and deception to push people further and further away, making Zong Luo truly hate him.
These words may be angry words, but they were indeed a bit heavy.
But between the two of them, the naturally indifferent Great Witch would not casually express any high opinions, only saying, “The words this minister wants to say have all been told to Your Highness. If there is nothing else, this minister will retire first.”
Today’s matter really came from the Great Witch’s selfishness.
For decades, except for the year when the late emperor privately asked him to help calculate the fate of Emperor Yuan before the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony, this was the second time the Great Witch used his selfishness.
The last selfishness, after all, had a good result. I just hope that this time, I can get what I wish, at least not leaving any regrets.
The Great Witch with a ghost mask came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, saying that he would leave, his figure completely disappeared outside the Yuchun Palace, and leaving no trace.
Leaving Zong Luo alone in the study for a long, long time.
It was not until a palace attendant asked in a low voice whether the crown prince wanted to pass the lunch that he woke up like a dream.
This meal was tasteless.
After the meal, the palace attendants dressed His Highness the Crown Prince for a nap in the sleeping chamber.
However, not long after resting, the door of the sleeping chamber was pushed open.
The master of the Eastern Palace, whose clothes were neat and tidy, and there was no trace of undressing, walked out and said lightly, “This Crown Prince is going to the Zhang Palace, prepare someone, and report to His Majesty.”
Usually, Emperor Yuan would only meet with his officials in the morning, and in the afternoon he would review memorials or handle other government affairs.
The eunuch went in to report for a while, and Emperor Yuan called him in.
The incense in the Zhang Palace was still burning as usual.
The emperor in the black gold dragon robe sat behind the desk, seeming not surprised at his visit, the pen in his hand did not stop, and he said without raising his head, “You’re here.”
After paying his respects, Zong Luo stood up and said cautiously, “Father Emperor, I…I want to lead the troops to Wei Country.”
“Nonsense.”
Emperor Yuan frowned and put down his pen. “You are the crown prince, there has never been a saying that the crown prince can command the troops. Even if Zhen favors you, there is absolutely no reason to let a country’s crown prince lead the troops.”
Zong Luo understood these principles.
The crown prince did not have military power. This was a big taboo.
The night before the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony, he handed over the immortal pill, Zhanlu, and the tiger talisman of Xuan Cavalry. The immortal pill was taken away by Yu Beizhou, Zhanlu was personally worn for him by Emperor Yuan at the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony, and only the talisman, after being handed over, was not given to him again.
Even if stepping back ten thousand steps, and the tiger talisman was still in his hand, a crown prince leading the troops, Wei Country would probably concentrate all the military power here, no matter how many people were sacrificed, they would definitely want to capture him alive.
After all, capturing a country’s crown prince alive could not only greatly enhance the morale of one’s own side, but also hold the crown prince as hostage to negotiate terms with the Great Yuan, which was simply a profitable business.
However, Zong Luo still knelt down and bowed deeply, “This son knows. But still this son begs Father Emperor to help this son.”
Emperor Yuan finally stopped his pen.
He put the ink brush with the gold thread on the pen holder, “Reason.”
Zong Luo said in a low voice. “The battle against Wei Country is of great importance. Now is not a good time to send troops. The King of Beining is not good at fighting in the front, let alone in the current situation where the military strength has not been fully recovered.”
The emperor’s voice could not tell whether he was happy or angry, “Zhen can allow him, the King of Beining, to go because he has knelt in front of Zhen twice.”
“The second time was last night. He knelt at the gate of Zhang Palace all night. Only then did Zhen allow him to offset his merits and not pursue the cause and effect of Zong Chengsi’s rebellion.”
“Knowing that it is impossible but insisting on doing it, you are not that kind of person.”
Emperor Yuan said lightly, “Don’t use those excuses to fool me, Zhen wants to hear why you are stubborn and insist on leading the troops. The motive for you to go, or who you are going for.”
The Zhang Palace fell into silence.
After a long time, Zong Luo finally closed his eyes. “This son is unfilial, forgive this son for being unable to speak out.”
Shouldn’t, can’t, and don’t want to.
“This son is going this time, wanting to make a complete end.”
