Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Chapter 132 Confrontation between father and son

Mei Susu suddenly woke up from her dream. The palpitations in her heart made her almost nauseous. She dry-heaved a few times but failed to vomit.

Yueya hurried in from outside, holding a basin of water in her hand.

Seeing that Mei Susu looked very uncomfortable on the bed, he immediately put down the basin of water and walked forward quickly.

"My lady, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I'll go get the imperial physician for you." Yueya stood up and was about to call someone.

Mei Susu grabbed her and said, "It's okay. I just felt a little uncomfortable after waking up. I'll be fine after a while."

The little crescent-shaped face wrinkled, obviously worried, but she was obedient and did not insist.

Mei Susu leaned on the bed, and Yueya put a cushion under her to prevent her from scratching.

"Where's Xuanyuan Che?" Mei Susu felt as if a huge hand was tightly grasping her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Apart from the things in her dream, her last memory stayed in the wooden house in the suburbs. After she ate the golden Gu, she returned here when she opened her eyes.

Every time Yueya heard the three words "Xuanyuan Che", her body would tremble with fear.

After being in the palace for such a long time, only the girl in front of him dared to call His Highness by his name.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince just left half a cup of tea ago. His Majesty has come to Yongning Palace and is calling for Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Yueya stood up, wrung out the handkerchief, pulled the delicate hand of the person on the couch and wiped it gently, while she wiped she sighed, "Not only is the young lady beautiful, but her hands are also so pretty."

"His Majesty is here..." Mei Susu muttered, then she lifted the quilt and got off the bed.

"Master?"

"Let me get dressed. I want to go out for a walk."

In the study of Yongning Palace, Emperor Shunde sat behind his desk with a face as black as charcoal.

"How long do you plan to live here?"

Xuanyuan Che put down the cup calmly and said, "Whenever my father deals with my third brother, I will go back."

Emperor Shunde snorted coldly: "Haven't you already dealt with it?"

Xuanyuan Che raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Shunde, his smile not reaching his eyes: "Father, you have wronged me. I was staying in Yongning Palace yesterday. Did something happen to my third brother? Is it serious?"

"Xuanyuan Che!" Emperor Shunde was so angry that he slammed the table.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che's eyes grew colder. "That's made of golden nanmu wood. It was my mother's favorite desk when she was alive. You'd better be careful."

Hearing this, Emperor Shunde lowered his head to look at the desk under his command. The fire in his eyes, which had been filled with fire, gradually subsided, his clenched fists loosened, and he sat back in his chair dejectedly.

"I have told you that the Cao family cannot be touched now. If you insist on doing it, you know the consequences."

Xuanyuan Che looked at him coldly, without any emotion in his eyes, nothing at all, as if he was looking at an irrelevant stranger.

"You don't need to take action. You just need to stay out of it. I will deal with the Cao family. Do you think I don't know that you secretly sent people to protect Xuanyuan Feng?"

Emperor Shunde knew that he could find out, so he did not feel guilty: "I was doing that for your own good. I was afraid that you would make a mistake and cause a disaster. If you want to attack the Cao family, you must also consider the 500,000 troops behind them. When did you become so irrational?"

Xuanyuan Che lost his patience and didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he stood up and left.

Emperor Shunde slammed the table again: "Stop right there!"

Xuanyuan Che's eyes instantly turned red. He glanced at the desk that was making a noise due to his slapping and stared at him with hatred: "I told you to be careful, can't you hear me?"

"Who are you talking to? I am your father, the Emperor! How dare you!" Emperor Shunde had an intimidating aura, but Xuanyuan Che was not afraid of him at all. He sneered as if he heard a joke.

"So you want to depose me as the crown prince?"

"Do you think I dare not?" Emperor Shunde was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Xuanyuan Che looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Then I will wait for your decree of abdication."

After saying that, he opened the door and left the house.

As soon as he left, Emperor Shunde seemed to have lost all his energy. His body swayed a few times and he fell unsteadily on the chair.

Zhao Zhen poured him a cup of hot tea without saying anything.

Looking at the tea leaves floating in the cup, Emperor Shunde's eyes kept spinning with the tea leaves, and then sank to the bottom: "Zhao Zhen, am I wrong?"

Zhao Zhen still didn't speak.

Emperor Shunde sighed, "It's not that I don't support him. Feng'er did go too far. He relied on the Cao family as his backer to challenge my patience again and again. But the Cao family is not a pushover. I'm afraid that Che'er will leave clues and invite revenge from the Cao family."

"I have already lost Jin'er, and I cannot lose the child with Jin'er."

Zhao Zhen said, "Your Highness is just angry that His Majesty sent people to protect the Third Prince and ruined his plan. Your Majesty might as well withdraw those people and let His Highness the Crown Prince do it. The Third Prince has already sent people to assassinate him in the palace, what else does Your Majesty have to worry about?"

He paused, glanced at Emperor Shunde's expression, and seeing that he was not displeased, he continued, "Has your majesty forgotten that His Highness wrote to you as soon as he got into trouble to report that he was safe? In His Highness' heart, His Majesty is still very important.

The sword that the Third Prince used to pierce the Crown Prince's chest had already pierced the brotherhood. The Crown Prince was just trying to protect himself, so why should Your Majesty be the bad guy in the middle of it?"

Zhao Zhen saw that Emperor Shunde's expression changed obviously after he said this, so he immediately stopped and stepped aside.

After a long silence, the look in Emperor Shunde's eyes changed, and he immediately said: "Starting tomorrow, withdraw the people. Go and tell the prince that as long as he has his own plans, I will pretend that I know nothing."

Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement.

Emperor Shunde stood up and looked at the room: "I haven't been to Yongning Palace for a long time. When I came here today, it was the same as before, nothing has changed."

Zhao Zhen followed behind him with a whisk in hand and echoed: "Looking at the furnishings in this room, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been sending people to clean it."

Emperor Shunde's hand slid across the table and lifted it up, without a speck of dust.

He hummed softly, "When Jin'er left, Che'er was still young, so it's normal that he can't accept the death of his relatives. Since he likes this place, you can just tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs when you go back and have them renovate it and move Yongning Palace to the name of the Crown Prince."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Suddenly, Emperor Shunde stopped and looked at a painting on the wall with a sad expression.

Zhao Zhen looked up and then understood the reason. The painting was of the late queen, sitting in the corridor of the imperial garden in the afternoon, holding a calico and white cat in her arms. She was beautiful, with a gentle smile, and even the green eyes of the calico cat in her arms were lively as if alive.

Emperor Shunde looked at the person in the painting with a sad expression and raised his hand to touch him, but at this moment, several very tiny voices were heard from outside the house.

"You said Xuanyuan Che is in this room? Is His Majesty here too?"

"Yes, let's go, my dear. If we are discovered, we will all be punished."

"Let's keep our voices down so they don't notice us. I'll just listen to what they're saying."

Emperor Shunde frowned and looked at Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen understood, walked to the door quietly, and then quickly opened the door.

"Ouch!"

"what!"

The two petite figures lost their balance and fell into the house, falling flat on their faces.
