C185 (1/2)

Xu Shiqiu's intuition was very accurate. The morning assembly the next day was not peaceful at all.

The Emperor Ruikang did not know whether he had discussed this with the Prince Duan and the Master Xuan Ling in advance, but on the morning of the second day, Xu Shiqiu did not even need to stick his head out.

Hearing that the Emperor Ruikang took the initiative to mention this matter, even Ye Jingxing, who had received the news that night and arranged many things, was extremely surprised. It was obvious that he did not understand what was going on with his Royal Father.

Not only did Ye Jingxing not understand, all of the princes who had already entered the imperial court did not understand.

Just by looking at how Uncle Prince Duan stood there unfazed, they understood that Uncle Prince Duan would definitely know what he had done today.

Since Uncle Prince Duan knows about this, then did Royal Father do this on purpose?

When they thought of this possibility, the princes fell silent.

Other than the few princes, the courtiers and officials who knew Emperor Ruikang's character well, did not speak anymore.

Since they did not say anything, Emperor Ruikang was successful. Xu Shiqiu wanted to say something, but Ye Jingxing just gave him a meaningful glance.

With his brother-in-law's gaze, Xu Shiqiu did not say anything.

Emperor Ruikang sat at the seat of honor, and could clearly see the expressions of everyone below. Thinking back to their discussion yesterday afternoon, Emperor Ruikang sighed in his heart, and in the end, he concluded, ”We didn't teach Qi'er well, this is our fault.”

No one expected the Emperor Ruikang to suddenly open his mouth and say such words. The moment he said those words, the people who were originally standing in the imperial court all 'panicked', expressing that there was nothing wrong with His Majesty.

”No, I was wrong.” At this moment, Emperor Ruikang looked like he had aged a long time. However, an imposing manner that was not there before was revealed in his eyes, ”Since he has done wrong, then I will change.” Saying that, Emperor Ruikang did not say how he wanted to change his plans and immediately announced his retirement.

Emperor Ruikang's move had really stunned many people.

Even Xu Shiqiu couldn't understand it.

Until Ye Jingxing used the reason of Xu Nuanwen seeing him back to the Old Madame Xu to come to the Xu Family.

”The Royal Father must have made a big move, and if he were to explain everything clearly, we cannot go overboard against Ye Jingche.” Ye Jingxing had also returned home to carefully ponder over it for a long time before finally understanding that even though his Royal Father had personally exposed this matter, he was actually still protecting Ye Jingche.

Even though it was hard to understand this point, he understood that ever since the incident with the crown prince, his Royal Father had always had this kind of personality.

Even if his son had done something wrong, he would not be willing to take his son's life.

This time, Royal Father chose to completely expose what Ye Jingche had done, and it would indeed cause Ye Jingche to have a bad reputation, so much that he would completely fall out of the fight for the throne.

Because he had personally dealt with his own son, no matter what son he had in the future, it would be impossible for him to make things difficult for Ye Jingche with this matter.

After Ye Jingxing understood all these, he did it alone for a long time. Although he knew that if it was him, the Royal Father would also do the same, he still felt uncomfortable.

Furthermore, he had a feeling that his Royal Father was probably holding back on his big move this time.

Seeing Ye Jingxing's sad expression, Xu Shiqiu did not know what to say.

When Ye Jingxing regained his senses, he saw Xu Shiqiu's somewhat blank expression. Seeing him act this way, Ye Jingxing laughed instead.

”Shiqiu, right now, you only have one daughter under your knee. I'm afraid you won't understand this feeling.” Ye Jingxing said, seeing that Xu Shiqiu did not say a word, he directly said: ”I have three sons, and Brother Shuo is not even the son of your sister. In any case, they are my sons in my heart, and I think they can all live well. Presumably, the Royal Father also has the same thought right now. ”

His son's mother was different, but they were both his sons, his bloodlines.

There was only one throne, and it could only be given to one son. However, the other sons couldn't treat them unfairly either.

If the throne wasn't easy to give, then he would pamper it in other aspects. As long as it wasn't too excessive, he would pamper it.

After Xu Shiqiu understood what Ye Jingxing was thinking, he immediately understood what the Emperor Ruikang was thinking this time.

He knew that his son had done something wrong, but he did not want his son's life.

”Your Majesty is also a kind father.”

Although Xu Shiqiu said that, he was shaking his head in his heart.

Right now, His Majesty was only thinking about how to be a father, but he'd forgotten that he had an even more important identity, the 'emperor'.

He was the king of a country. Right now, he wanted to be a good father to his father, but he had never been an emperor.

If it were not for the fact that there were more loyal officials and fewer treacherous officials in the court, there would have been chaos after this incident.

Just these few words, Xu Shiqiu did not dare to say.

Although brother-in-law was a good man, that person was still his father.

It was unknown if Ye Jingxing understood the meaning of Xu Shiqiu's words, but in the end, he only raised his hand and patted Xu Shiqiu's shoulder and said: ”Since Royal Father asked, then you shouldn't investigate too deeply into this matter. Moreover, Uncle Prince Duan is here too. ”
