Chapter 283: Captured Alive (2/2)
His close servants, Inner Court Attendant, and Minister of Ients What was so surprising was that he had been the oblivious victi for over dozens of years
There were also his concubines, whose fas were askew The crown prince and other princes were included too – none of them could rest assured since each of the for their own personal gains
These were only the inner palace and the central royals; what about the imperial court? His ministers, whether civil or martial, were hauled one by one too, proven to be undercover agents of the Four Seasons Tower…
The emperor was suddenly doubtful of his authority then, of his capability as an emperor There was a faint sense of decadence – I can’t even ood emperor? An emperor like me, do I really have the qualification to talk about world peace and uniting Tianxuan?
…
This day, Yu Peize did not attend theassembly
The eunuch on duty informed the civil andwell so the assembly was canceled for the day
Whatever the civil and ent the national affairs were, the emperor shut himself in his royal study for the entire day
Not a sip of water nor a mouthful of food was consuazing at his eldest son’s portrait; he stared at it with boundless love
”I’m old but you are the one who has left…”
”My son, do you know that father has thought it through? If I get a second chance, what I should’ve done?”
”If time can really be rewound… I’d rather the Residence of Nine Supre, I would hope that you never became Supreme Earth!”
”I’d rather not have imperial territories, I don’t want to stand over the world, not even to unite Tianxuan I only want you to live well and long!”
”I shall teach you all the theories ofa sovereign and the thinking of an emperor I would hand over all my effort and wealth to you, as well as all my wishes yet to be completed… I’d even pass this country wholly to you…”
”Father wants to see you radually and witness you accomplish eventually what I can’t”
”Father really misses you…”
”My child, hoish to hear you call ret it…”
”Your family, your lover, where are they now? My child…”
”I’ve thought that I have the world, everything ithin rasp It was only in retrospect did I realize that I have nothing at all!”
His Majesty shut his eyes tightly, allowing his tears to course freely
Supreme Earth in the portrait before hion robe; he looked youthful and handsoht eyes as he stared ahead in high spirits
He did not speak, nor did he move
It was on that day that he had said he wished to appoint the crown prince and told his favorite, his eldest son, that it was to be him
Come, my son, wear this outfit and show me
His son wore the robe of a crown prince and stood before hi, ”My crown prince indeed!”
He then summoned the painter to paint a portrait of his eldest prince
How triumphant, how exuberant, and how handso his e to stay calm, how could he not see his son’s emotional rollercoaster!
It had only been two months when he turned his own son into Supreme Earth!
”Do you hate father?”
”Even if you say you don’t and you understand, was there really not a sliver of resentht? If I were you, I would hate me I don’t think even I can understand!”
The e down in torrents
His only son, as kind and well-intentioned, had been ruined by his own hands!
