As soon as Mr. Yuan saw Lou Yan, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and his back, which had always been straight, bent slightly downwards uncontrollably.
Yuan Chu took a step back in a panic, lowering his head and not daring to look at Lou Yan at all.
"Your Majesty," Old Master Yuan was the first to come to his senses and took a step forward. "Your Majesty, you are here. What do you want me to do?"
Lou Yan glanced at him and said in a cold tone: "Does the old man really not know what I want to do?"
How come the old man doesn’t know? He knows it all too well.
He looked back at the tablet behind him and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, can you give me some face and leave this traitor to me to deal with?"
Lou Yan: "Didn't I give you this face? But I gave you face, what did you give me in return?"
The old man was speechless for a moment.
Lou Yan gave enough face to him and begged for mercy in front of the emperor in person, allowing them to take Yuan Xu away. But they didn't care about Lou Yan's feelings at all, and actually wanted to keep Yuan Xu alive.
Mr. Yuan had no shame to say anything else, and finally managed to squeeze out one sentence: "This matter... we did something wrong. It's okay for the prince to be angry. In this case, then just follow the prince's wishes."
Lou Yan can do whatever he wants. They won't stop him anymore, and they can't stop him at all.
Old Master Yuan raised his feet and walked out slowly. At that moment, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years, and his back was slightly stooped.
Yuan Xu, who was lying on the ground, saw that his father was about to leave. He was so frightened that he lost his soul. He shouted heartbreakingly: "Father, don't leave me, father, you can't leave me."
Old Master Yuan's steps froze slightly, and then he only said in a low voice: "Our relationship as father and son is over in this life, you... just take care of yourself."
After that, he left the ancestral hall step by step.
In the ancestral hall, it became quiet for an instant.
Yuan Xu's eyes widened and he stared at the door, as if he was crazy, muttering in his mouth: "You can't do this to me, you can't do this to me..."
Apart from Yuan Xu's voice, there was no other sound.
After a while, Lou Yan turned to look at Yuan Chu, who had been silent all this time, and said coldly: "Your father no longer cares about you, but you are still standing here. Why, you are not willing to give in, do you want to compete with me?"
Yuan Chu's body trembled and he immediately bit the base of his tongue.
In the past, when they were on the battlefield, what they said was a spar, but it was really just a spar. Lou Yan would hold back and not really hurt himself.
But this time he was talking about a fight, I'm afraid it wasn't about fighting him to the death.
Yuan Chu felt that his heart had been soaked in ice water, and it was so cold that he almost lost consciousness.
Finally, he slowly raised his head to look at Lou Yan and shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty."
Lou Yan looked at him coldly and did not respond.
"I was confused about this matter." Yuan Chu opened his mouth with great difficulty, but continued, "I did something wrong. I really know that I was wrong."
Lou Yan's eyes were still cold, and the expression on his face did not ease at all.
"I didn't know," Yuan Chu's eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth and continued, "I didn't know that the princess's injury was so serious. If I had known, I would never..."
"That's enough!" Lou Yan interrupted him coldly and said in a deep voice, "If Zhen Zhen was not injured, you could keep your brother with peace of mind, right? You are wrong now, just because Zhen Zhen was injured.
