Chapter 646 Take Back What I Deserve (Part )
"Will it be dangerous?" Qiu Qianyun untied his belt.

"No," Li Rui held Qiu Qianyun's hand, "Once I'm sure what happened, I'll send someone to report that everything is fine."

"it is good."

"Also, let Jun'er keep his composure and don't act impulsively before figuring out what's going on."

"Okay, I've written it down."

Li Rui put on his court robes and got on the palace carriage, galloping towards the imperial palace.

The carriage was shaking, and Li Rui opened the note in his hand, which was stuffed into his hand by the eunuch when he helped him get into the car.

There were only two words written on the note: Done.

The luxurious carriage passed through the palace gates and finally stopped at the emperor's bedroom.

There were already many officials and royal relatives waiting in the main hall of the palace.

Several officials saw Li Rui coming and bowed to him, "Prince Rui, His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Rui was puzzled, "Wait for me?"

"You don't know yet..."

Li Mu's personal eunuch came over and said respectfully, "Prince Rui, please come this way."

Li Rui followed the eunuch into the inner hall.

When they reached Yuanren, the eunuch said, "Prince Rui, a lot of things happened during your absence. His Majesty suffered a stroke for unknown reasons and is unable to get up. His mind is sometimes confused and sometimes clear. Whenever he is clear, he clamors to see you."

"I learned that you were going back to Chang'an today, so I sent someone to wait for you at the gate of the mansion early in the morning. It's my fault that I was so careless that I forgot to ask them to explain the reason to you."

Li Rui asked with concern: "Eunuch, has His Majesty been feeling better lately?"

The eunuch shook his head.

"Then, sir, do you know why His Majesty wants to see me?"

The eunuch shook his head again, "I don't know."

Li Rui stopped asking questions and was led by the eunuch into the emperor's bedroom.

In the huge bedroom, the curtains fluttered, and the gold and jade were decorated, exquisite and luxurious.

The heart-wrenching coughs became louder and louder.

It is really incompatible with this luxurious bedroom.

Along with the cough, the voices of the maid and the eunuch were heard.

"Your Majesty is vomiting blood again!"

"Go call the doctor!"

One of the eunuchs was about to run outside.

"No! You are not allowed to go!"

An old and weak voice was heard, followed by coughs as dense as raindrops.

The person on the bed had squinting eyes and a slanted mouth, and his face and neck were red from coughing.

The pair of dark eyes stared at the person approaching.

Li Rui hurriedly walked to the bed and knelt down, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself."

Li Mu was so angry that he coughed more and more violently and stretched out his hand to Li Rui.

Li Rui grasped his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am back. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Li Mu wanted to shake off Li Rui's hand, but Li Rui held it tightly and he couldn't break free.

It gives people a feeling of deep brotherhood.

Li Mu's coughing finally stopped being so severe.

He raised his other hand and gestured.

The head eunuch waved his hand, and the palace servants retreated respectfully. The door was closed from the outside.

The moment the door closed, Li Rui put his hand down. The concern and respect on his face disappeared, leaving only indifference and alienation.

Li Mu suppressed his cough, his face still red, "What? Are you finally stopping pretending?"

Li Rui stood up and lowered his eyes to look at the thin and haggard man on the bed. He hadn't seen him for only a few months, but he looked so old.

"I'm just taking back what I deserve."

As the eldest son, the throne should have been his.

At that time, party struggles were fierce. Li Mu's mother, Concubine Xue, relied on the tremendous power of her mother's family and wanted to become the queen.

The queen at that time, Li Rui's biological mother, naturally became a thorn in the side of the Xue family.

Seeing that the situation was critical and there was no way out, Li Rui's biological mother had no choice but to ask the palace maids to take Li Rui out of the palace.

I only hope that he can survive and live a happy life.

If it weren't for those palace servants who risked their lives to save him, sent him out of the palace, and allowed him to live in seclusion in a remote countryside, he probably wouldn't be alive today.

A few days after he was sent out of the palace, his biological mother died of illness in a very strange way.

Li Mu looked at him coldly, "So you knew your identity since you lived in seclusion in the countryside, and that meeting with the emperor's entourage was not accidental."

Li Rui sneered, "How can there be so many coincidences in the world?"

Li Mu spat out a mouthful of old blood, coughed a few times, and finally calmed down.

It turned out that he had always been living under Li Rui's calculations.

"You hid it well enough. But you watched your family being bullied time and time again, especially your daughter who you called yourself the 'apple of your palm'. She was bullied for many years and finally had to marry a barbarian. When you saw all this, didn't you feel a bit of sympathy?"

Li Rui said calmly, "As my daughter, she should bear this."

Moreover, those who achieve great things must go through hardships.

"You are really cold-blooded and heartless." Li Mu said sarcastically.

Li Rui sneered. If he wasn't cold-blooded and ruthless, how could he have survived to this day?
These were the people who forced him to do all this, and now they are using these moral principles to criticize him. It's really ridiculous.

"Cold-blooded? You eliminated dissidents and killed countless people. After you ascended the throne, you allowed corrupt officials to flourish and exploit the people, causing them to suffer. You say I am cold-blooded? The Later Tang Dynasty was weak and lost its position as the world's hegemon. It was all because of you. Even if you die nine times, you cannot atone for your sins."

Li Mu's face turned red and white, his mouth was crooked and his face was distorted. "At least I won't let my daughter go through this."

"Do you dare to say that you don't want to establish diplomatic relations through your daughter?"

Li Mu looked unhappy. He did not respond and said:

"Even if I abdicate to you, with so many princes and grandchildren, do you think you can rule the world?"

"What happens next is not your concern." Li Rui said coldly.

"Yes, you are very cunning. You went to Khitan just to avoid me, so that you can attack me and gain a good reputation, right?"

Li Rui was too lazy to bother with him anymore.

"I have had someone write the abdication letter for you, and it is exactly the same as your handwriting. There are two paths before you. One is to abdicate to me in front of everyone, and then the people you care about will be safe. The other path is for you to refuse my request, and all the people you care about will be buried with you, and I will take the abdication letter that has already been written and ascend the throne."

"No matter which path you take, the result is the same, but different choices mean different things to you."

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, "I want to see Concubine Rou."

He hadn't seen her since the incident. It went without saying that she was controlled by Li Rui's men.

While he was indulging in women, the entire palace had gradually been replaced by Li Rui's influence.

Li Mu had many women in his life, so many that he couldn't even remember them all.

When he was about to die, he only remembered one woman and longed for one woman.

When the accident happened, Qin Rou's crying was still in his ears. She was the only woman who treated him sincerely.

He was willing to abdicate and wanted to protect some people, including Qin Rou.
