The emperor nodded and agreed to Shao Zhikan's proposal. He then left and asked Eunuch Fu to immediately deliver the order to the Royal Forest Army.

At this time, the emperor and Shao Zhihan's uncle and nephew were the only ones left in the palace. Both of them were silent. Shao Zhikan just remained silent for a moment and then said to the emperor: "Uncle, you trust me too much. Aren't you afraid that I will do something detrimental to you?"

The emperor closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Then you can?"

Shao Zhikan said firmly without any hesitation: "No."

The emperor coughed for a while and then opened his eyes with a wry smile. He waved his hand towards Shao Zhikan and said: "So I believe you. If you really want to do something, you won't lie dormant for so many years and do nothing. So I would rather believe you than my sons. And I have always I remember the ideals you had when you were a child."

As he spoke, the emperor turned to look at Shao Zhikan, his eyes full of guilt and a hint of doting, and continued: "And uncle owes you. So uncle believes in you."

Shao Zhikan moved his lips but said nothing. The emperor looked at Shao Zhihan, who pursed his lips tightly and looked unhappy, and smiled and said, "Okay, don't look at me like this. I think I can still get through it."

After saying that, he turned around and stared at the bright yellow tent ceiling silently. Shao Zhikan didn't know what the emperor was thinking. But he had long wanted to ask if he was holding it back in his heart. Although he knew this was not a good time. But after meeting Grandma Ouyang today, he really wanted to ask these questions.

So Shao Zhikan took a deep breath and said to the emperor: "Uncle, have you ever regretted it now?"

The emperor was stunned when he suddenly heard Shao Zhikan's question. Then he turned to look at Shao Zhihan again, his brows slightly furrowed. But there was a trace of doubt in his eyes: "What do I regret?"

Shao Zhikan said with a somewhat expressionless face: "I regret that I just watched the prince's brother being assassinated. The family could not even return to Beijing for burial."

The emperor was stunned by these words, and then he smiled bitterly and said to Shao Zhikan: "I didn't expect that after so many years, you would still be worried about this matter. I told you that the entire inspection team was infected with the epidemic. No one was alive. Also. The corpses of the prince and the princess were also burned due to the epidemic. This is not nonsense. I was also afraid of problems, so I sent the imperial doctor and people from the Ministry of Punishments to investigate. The conclusion reached is that the prince's family and The entire patrol team has contracted the epidemic."

Shao Zhikan looked at his uncle without any sadness or sadness when he talked about the prince's family. This made his heart even more blocked. But he continued to ask: "Then why didn't you let me investigate and find out?"

The emperor had obviously been feeling uncomfortable for a while. He felt much better now. He said to Shao Zhihan with a helpless look: "What nonsense are you talking about? You were so young at that time. How can I trust you to investigate the truth alone? Isn't that nonsense?"

Shao Zhikan put his hands together. But he secretly clenched his fists and said: "My nephew has ignored the world for many years. I am afraid that my uncle has forgotten that my nephew has already carried a gun and gone into battle to kill the enemy. Why didn't you think about it when I carried a gun into battle?" .”

Shao Zhikan's words made the emperor obviously stunned. However, he was just stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Kang'er, what happened to you today? Why did you suddenly mention the prince?"

Shao Zhikan chuckled, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that it's very painful to see you like this. You are obviously ill. But you still have to be here alone to think of ways to arrange everything. Even one person who shares the burden with you No one felt a trace of sadness.     If the prince brother was still here, uncle, you might not have encountered such a thing in the first place. If the prince brother was still there, maybe you wouldn't have to worry about who to find to supervise the country. Instead of letting me be the only one. Someone with a foreign surname came forward. So I couldn't help but want to ask uncle, do you regret it?"

Because Shao Zhikan told the reason. So his question went directly to the deepest part of the emperor's heart.

Do you regret it? To be honest, he regretted it a little. He was happy when the responsibilities that the prince once helped him to shoulder returned to his hands after the prince left. But after he was happy, he felt more tired, exhausted, and unable to do anything else.

He felt a little regretful then. But he is the emperor of the great country of Ji. He acquiesced in everything that happened so he couldn't regret it. And he also wanted to prove that even if he left the prince, he could still govern Daji well. So he has no regrets.

Shao Zhikan looked at the emperor's expression that kept changing as he seemed to be deep in thought after he fell silent. Suddenly I felt a little puzzled. What is the uncle drawing?

Even if he holds the power of the entire country in his own hands. But look now, being plotted against by his own son. Beware of anyone with royal blood. He was so sick and there was no one to take care of him. Even if he came to take care of her, I'm afraid my uncle wouldn't dare to believe him.

But what he didn't understand was that his uncle wanted to take over his father's military power because he was afraid that his father would use him to threaten his throne. But now, can I trust myself 100% just because my leg is broken?

He really didn't understand what his uncle was thinking.

At this time, Eunuch Fu, who had gone to deliver the edict, came back. Only then did Shao Zhikan speak again: "Uncle, I entered the palace unexpectedly today and I was not prepared. I want to go back first and then enter the palace early tomorrow morning."

This time the emperor didn't speak. He closed his eyes and just waved to Shao Zhikan. Shao Zhikan bowed silently and left.

Eunuch Fu immediately noticed something fishy about the atmosphere between the two. After Shao Zhikan left, he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, did you have any dispute with the Crown Prince?"

The emperor did not open his eyes, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "The child asked me if I had ever regretted the death of the prince. I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still so many people who still miss Yun'er. Just forget it if you say queen. After all, Those are her flesh and blood. But what about Kan'er? Why does Kan'er miss him so much? Have they only met a few times when they were children? "

At the end of the story, the emperor actually became a little angry. This time, Eunuch Fu fell silent.

Maybe the mood swings are too big. The emperor's face immediately turned pale. Big cold sweat broke out instantly. When Eunuch Fu saw it, he knew that the emperor had another attack. Immediately stepped forward to wipe His Majesty's sweat. Then the tranquilizing medicine, which was better than nothing, was delivered to the emperor's mouth.

Although the sun had already set, Shao Zhihan still asked Wu Sheng to hurry back to Ruiwenzhai. Then we went to the princess mansion.

Eunuch Rui was a little surprised when he saw Shao Zhikan coming so openly and openly. But Shao Zhikan didn't give him too much time to be surprised. (End of chapter)
