Chapter 316: Remember the Last Lesson
Chapter 316 Last lesson, hope you remember it
Xiao Xiguang stood in the crowd, and the people beside him fell to their knees.
Xiao Jingze stood opposite him, showing more anger than him.
He looked much calmer, his expression cold, as usual.
Even the tone of his voice was not even the slightest bit disturbing.
"You are the emperor, so you should come up with convincing reasons."
There was silence all around, no one made a sound.
But Xiao Xiguang seemed to hear the ridicule in everyone's heart, laughing at him for having been on the throne for five years.
In front of Xiao Jingze, he is still the child who needs to rely on him everywhere.
His eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, the night is cold and windy.
If you have anything to say, please go in and talk to me!"
With a gentle tone, Miao Ran interrupted the confrontation between Xiao Xiguang and Xiao Jingze.
Xiao Xiguang came back to his senses and looked around.
After a long while, he nodded.
"Yes, Queen Mother..."
He turned around and entered the yard, taking a clear look at his back.
He sighed silently and shook his head.
Finally, he looked at Xiao Jingze and Su Jinxiu and said warmly.
"Miss Su was also frightened tonight, please ask the prince to send her back.
The life-saving grace will definitely be repaid in the future."
Xiao Jingze nodded and left with Su Jinxiu.
As Xiao Jingze left, the guards scattered around and stood guard around the courtyard in an orderly manner.
Just as he was about to enter, he heard Xiao Ning'an's pitiful voice coming from the courtyard.
"Mother, Ning'an knows that she was wrong.
After Ning'an, I will never dare to do it again."
Now she really knows that she was wrong, and something happened to her mother almost, almost.
Looking at Xiao Ning'an clearly, he closed his eyes.
"Your father and I feel very guilty because of the birthmark on your face.
I have indulged you all these years, thinking that as long as you are happy, it will be fine.
Therefore, it doesn't matter that you are domineering, arrogant, and ignorant of the ways of the world.
I originally thought that when you grow up, you will gradually become more sensible.
But I didn't expect that you would actually get worse.
In the past few years, I have been deeply saddened by the death of your father.
I don’t have any extra thoughts to control you, so you become like this.
You are at fault, and I am at greater fault.
From today on, you will chant sutras and chant Buddha's name for me at Huangjue Temple every day.
When did you get rid of your perverse temper and realize you were wrong?
When will I return to the palace again..."
Saying that, Ming Ran raised his hand.
Guards immediately came forward and asked Xiao Ning'an to leave.
"Mother, Ning'an doesn't want to stay in that temple.
Mother, mother..."
Xiao Ning'an cried out in pain, but she didn't even look back.
Go straight into the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Xiguang looking at some gadgets placed on the bookshelf.
There were some wood-carved animals and various gods, as well as small flower baskets made of rattan.
It can be seen that it is a bit old.
There is some yellowing on the objects.
The people who make these things are not very skilled in their craftsmanship.
You can only roughly see the shape of the thing, it's very rough.
But I knew it, but I kept it there like a treasure, wiping it from time to time, and there wasn't even a trace of dust.
“I can’t believe it’s been so many years.
Queen Mother still keeps these things I made for you.
At that time, I thought I was doing a good job.
Looking at it now, it is really rough.
Queen mother, throw it away.
If you like it, I will make something better for you."
Xiao Xiguang took a small wooden horse and played with it in his hand.
Knowingly stepped forward, took the little wooden horse from his hand, and smiled.
"At that time, the queen mother was in a desperate situation.
If you hadn't often brought these things to see the Queen Mother, it remains to be seen whether the Queen Mother could survive it.
No matter how rough the thing is, it is still made with care by the emperor.
The Queen Mother can see the Emperor's sincerity in it, how can she throw it away?"
She lost her unborn child and was heartbroken.
At that time, the emperor was still an unknown prince in the harem, and he accidentally broke into her palace.
Seeing that she was sad, he tried his best to make her happy.
It was only after that that she paid attention to this child.
Later, I saw that he was really caring, so I took him under my knees.
Even though they are not biological children, they are better than biological children.
Xiao Xigang put his hand behind his back and put the wooden horse back clearly.
"I have always cared about my mother, but I also know it because of what happened back then.
The queen mother is somewhat dissatisfied with me, so I don't dare to come and make her unhappy.
After all these years, the Queen Mother’s anger should have dissipated.
Why don't you come back to the palace with me this time, Queen Mother?"
Miao Ran turned to look at Xiao Xiguang, the timid child in his memory.
Now he has grown into the appearance of a man, with the majesty of an emperor in his eyebrows.
"The emperor has grown up and does not need the care of the Ai family.
The Ai family is here not only to pray for the late emperor.
I can also recite sutras for the emperor to relieve his troubles."
Looking at Xiao Xiguang now, she will always think of that night.
She tried hard to tell herself how cruel it was during the bloodbath in the palace.
This is the means needed for the emperor to ascend to the throne of God.
If there are any future troubles left, he will be constrained by others at all times just like the late emperor was before.
It's one thing to understand, it's another to truly accept it.
Xiao Xiguang didn't know what he was thinking, so he gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
"Mother, I heard that there was a maid in the harem who was visited by my father.
I feel sorry for my mother, but I don’t know who that person is.
Therefore, we can only kill all the harem ladies of similar age.
In this way, it also gives vent to the queen mother.
I don't know, I did this for my mother.
Why does the queen mother blame me?"
Looking clearly into Xiao Xiguang's eyes, he asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, are you really doing this for the sake of mourning your family?
Wasn't it because we learned that the palace maid already had the emperor's blood and bones in her belly?
Emperor, the Ruoai family really cannot tolerate that palace maid.
Back then, I wouldn’t have taken you under my knees and raised you up.
The Aijia can understand your concerns, but cannot accept that you blame the Aijia for this matter.
The late emperor died at that time, what if the palace maid had left the child in her belly?
Maybe, it’s not a bad thing…”
Xiao Xuguang turned his back, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down.
Over the years, the people in the palace have changed.
Almost no one remembers that his biological mother was also a palace maid who was favored by the late emperor.
Because of his low status, he had no status until his death.
Over the years, no one mentioned this matter again.
He almost forgot about it, but now, the Queen Mother mentioned it in such an understatement.
It seems to be telling him that no matter how hard he tries.
Even if he sits on this supreme throne, he still cannot change the fact that he is the child of a palace maid.
It's also because he knows what a palace maid's child will do in order to succeed.
So that year, after learning that my father had left behind bones and blood.
I would rather kill eight thousand by mistake than let one go.
"Your Majesty, no one can challenge your throne now.
You may rest assured that although the regent is cold-tempered.
It seems unkind.
But you are your father's child, so it is impossible for him to have second thoughts.
Everything he does is to help you protect this country.
When you can shoulder this burden, he will naturally give everything back to you.
If you are suspicious of him, there is no need to do so."
Others may not know the relationship between Xiao Jingze and the late emperor, but she does.
Anyone in the world would abandon the late emperor, but Xiao Jingze would not.
