Chapter 186: Pros and Cons

Translator: 549690339

The Prince of Huaiyang did not have any psychological burden. His existence was not to let the truth be revealed to the world. He was as clear as water and as clear as a mirror. He was already tired enough to be able to survive beside his paranoid Imperial Brother. He did not want to get involved in the battle for the Crown Prince.

It was his ability to live comfortably.

It had nothing to do with him if the Crown Prince and the Xin ‘an King’s men had their heads beaten up. Who cared about them if they didn’t involve him?

Not only was Emperor Yu Heng paranoid, but he was also about to lose his mind after Noble Consort Liu’s death. Prince Huaiyang really did not like to approach him when he had nothing to do.

Look at what he did after the death of Noble Consort Liu. He actually chose the one who cried the most when he was mourning. He almost made the one who cried the most angry the governor of Yuzhou.

She thought that the mountain road to Noble Consort Liu’s tomb was not easy to walk, so she asked Pan Shuo to gather the people’s strength to repair the mountain road…

The more he lived, the more he went back. He had already started to look like a bad ruler. He still wanted to go to the Longshan Tomb for three meals a day and have a heart-to-heart talk with Noble Consort Liu, just like in the palace?

The problem was that if he dared to talk, she had to be able to talk back.

King Huai didn’t dare to provoke this player. Now, he was convinced by Xie Xian. This guy was smart enough to tell the truth when the situation wasn’t looking good, and he immediately went home. Was he recuperating from an illness or a fetus? It was just a cold. Did he really think that others did not know about him? If something went wrong, he would definitely be sick. If he kept the disease in his pocket, it would be convenient for him to take it out at any time.

The Prince of Huaiyang secretly spat. He also wanted to pretend to be sick and hide from the Emperor. However, his body was stronger than a pig-bah bah bah, stronger than a cow. Even if he dared to pretend, people would believe him.

It could be said that everything had its pros and cons.

He really wanted to see what kind of bearing that honest and loyal Attendant Xie from his Imperial Brother’s mouth would have at a funeral, and whether he would cry for a noble consort. In the end, she did not attend at all, perfectly avoiding the disaster.

Thinking about his horse urine, he felt a little lost. It was just a concubine. Was it worth it?!

However, he couldn’t do anything about it. The Song family had the blood of killing each other in their bones. They had been able to do well under Emperor Yu Heng because they had endured for many years. They couldn’t let their achievements be ruined here.

The Prince of Huaiyang went to the palace of the Empress Dowager. When he was in his teens, his aunt died and was thrown into the palace of Empress Dowager Pan by the previous emperor. Empress Dowager Pan was not a shrewd person, but she treated people sincerely. It was also thanks to her good relationship with Empress Dowager Pan. 0then-vise, he might have been chopped up along the way when Emperor Yuheng ascended the throne.

Noble Consort Liu was dead, and Princess Xuancheng was a princess who had nowhere to put her. Although Empress Dowager Pan did not like Noble Consort Liu, she loved Princess Xuancheng very much, so she took her to live in the palace.

When the King of Huaiyang left, Princess Xuancheng went down to rest.

Empress Dowager Pan had changed from her amiable and kind granny appearance when Princess Xuancheng was still around. In front of Prince Huaiyang, she began to scold Imperial Consort Liu, saying that she was a disaster. When he was alive, he would jump up and down and stir up the harem without peace. When he was dead, he would even harm the emperor until he was half-dead. He did not look like a human.

After listening to Empress Dowager Pan’s scolding for half an hour, the Prince of Huaiyang dragged his heavy body out of the palace and returned to the manor. Just as he got out of the carriage, the young eunuch in the palace chased after him. Emperor Yuheng summoned him into the palace.

After they met, there was nothing else to do except drink with the Emperor. They drank from evening to midnight. The Emperor cried until his nose was covered in tears, which was more than the amount of wine he drank.

He did not dare to drink too much, afraid that if he drank too much, he would not be able to keep his mouth shut. Then, he would beat up the nagging Emperor. In the future, he would not even know how he died.

“.. What do you think about me passing the throne to Xiao Liu?”

Perhaps because he had been drinking a lot recently, his alcohol tolerance had improved. After drinking for half a night, he did not see the Emperor lose his mind. His thoughts were clear and his eyes were bright.

“Royal brother, you are my royal brother. You are the ruler and also my elder brother. Whatever you say, I will hit wherever you point. The throne belonged to his brother, so naturally, it belonged to whoever he gave it.”The Prince of Huaiyang had a serious expression.

He concealed the disdain in his heart very well.

The throne was indeed his, but it was hard to say who the emperor could decide to pass it to.

Do you think that the Wang Clan is a vegetarian and those aristocratic families are paper tigers that you can do whatever you want? How many interests were involved in the throne?

In the past, King Xin ‘an had Noble Consort Liu to support him in the harem. She was able to give the emperor a pillow breeze, but she was still unable to shake the position of the Crown Prince. Now that Noble Consort Liu was dead, the Xin ‘an King was a little person without anyone to rely on. The Emperor wanted to pass on the position, but even if it was passed to him, he had to sit firmly.

The brain was a good thing, but the Emperor’s brain seemed to have been buried by Noble Consort Liu.

Emperor Yu Heng wiped away his tears. When he heard Prince Huaiyang’s words, he was full of lies. They didn’t share their hearts and had their own plans. His constant attendant was honest and smart. She didn’t hide anything and always told him everything.

Eh?

It had been a long time since he had seen the honest Xie Changshi, and the Emperor seemed to have just woken up.

Why, sick again?

“How long has Attendant Xie been on leave?”

Just like that, she had transferred from Noble Consort Liu to Xie Xian?

Just as he mentioned the position of Crown Prince, he turned around and thought of Xie Xian. From this, it could be seen that Xie Xian’s weight in the Emperor’s heart could not be underestimated.

“It’s been almost a month. 1 heard that it was a cold, but it flared up. Didn’t Imperial Brother send the imperial physician to take a look?”

“My heart is going to follow Noble Consort Liu. I’m muddleheaded every day.”Emperor Yu Heng sighed repeatedly. “Zhiyuan, if you like someone, you have to treat them well while you’re alive. Otherwise, you’ll be the one suffering in the future.”

The King of Huaiyang could tell that the Emperor had nothing better to do. Once the country was stable, he began to seek spiritual comfort and play with his heart.

However, he was different. The descendants of the Song family had been killed by him, the emperor, one after another. He struggled on the line of life and death every day, and he could not be careless.

“Royal brother’s teachings are correct, 1 will definitely listen to royal brother.”

Emperor Yu Heng nodded repeatedly, but his thoughts flew far away. His desire to pass the throne to King Xin ‘an grew stronger.

Noble Consort Liu was already dead. If he still couldn’t protect their children, how could he face her again after he died?

The two brothers raised their glasses and drank, both absent-minded.

###

After half a month, Emperor Yu Heng sent the imperial physician to the Xie Clan. Who knew that he did not see Xie Xian at all? The entire family had returned to the clan to worship their ancestors and had yet to return.

The Xie Clan’s Chen Junyang and Xia’s forces had followed the Liang Dynasty’s Great Ancestor to the south. Now, most of them were living in Xiapi County, which was not far from Jiankang. It was only a day or two’s drive.

The eldest son of the Xie family served in Jiankang, and most of the clansmen lived in Xiapi County.

It was the twelfth lunar month, and every year on the eighth day, a hunting festival would be held to worship the gods and ancestors, pray for longevity, avoid disasters, and welcome good fortune.

Every year, the Xie Clan of Jiankang City would return to Xiapi to pay respects to their ancestors. Xie Xian was no exception, and the entire family went to Xiapi. At first, it was still alright. Everything was normal when worshipping the ancestors and gods. After eating and drinking, excluding the old, weak, women, and children, Xie Xian was invited to the ancestral hall by the clan leader..
