Chapter 176 It doesn’t matter whether I become the crown prince or not. Xie Qinghuan, I want it firs
The old emperor was skeptical.
But he still gave the order to let him get up first.
“Yeongyeong, you’ve suffered.”
Thinking of the prince's golden seal that he had taken out of the palace, he tried again.
"Is the Crown Prince's Golden Seal still in your hands?"
Chu Hanxiao stood up and nodded.
"Yes, I have never thought of returning to the palace, so I did not bring it with me."
"But now, you have saved my life, you deserve to be the crown prince!"
The emperor thought that he would definitely ask for credit and reward.
But I don’t want to…
"Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything.
This time I stayed in the palace, not only because I was worried about my father's illness, but also for... some peace and quiet."
It doesn’t matter whether you are the crown prince or not.
Xie Qinghuan, I’ll take it first.
The emperor was shocked when he heard this.
He sat up directly from the dragon couch.
The condition has improved by 70%.
"You... you..."
The soul of gossip is burning!
Seeing this, Xie Qinghuan hurriedly got up and went to the head of the bed to support him.
"Uncle Huang, you are not well yet, lie down quickly!"
Chu Hanxiao remained calm.
His expression did not change, and he was as still as a mountain.
He clasped his fists and nodded.
"Your Majesty is wise. Qinghuan and I... are just as Your Majesty sees."
The old emperor blinked and raised his brows.
"When did it happen? I don't even know about it?"
Xie Qinghuan lowered her eyes, pretending to be shy.
Chu Hanxiao hesitated for a moment, his eyes flashing.
"General Luo has returned to the capital after being seriously injured. I, as a guard, am here to escort Qing Huan to meet him.
Seeing each other day and night, they fell in love with each other..."
At this point, Chu Yongji was already dead.
I believe it will not arouse the emperor's suspicion.
The Emperor didn't expect...
I woke up expecting to hear such exciting news.
He looked at Xie Qinghuan in confusion.
"So, Qing Huan's meaning is..."
Xie Qinghuan lowered her head and rolled up her handkerchief, with just the right amount of blush on her face.
"I, I...Uncle Huang, please stop asking!"
She spoke vaguely and perfunctorily, covering her face with a handkerchief.
When the old emperor saw this, his heart melted.
There is no time for any suspicion.
All I can think about is...
Damn!
The girl has grown up!
I couldn't help but hold back my laughter and asked:
"Does Prime Minister Xie know about your affairs?"
I don’t know how the old guy will react.
Seeing Xie Qinghuan’s blushing face, Chu Hanxiao also wanted to tease her.
Smiling, he said:
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for not knowing my identity. You only think I am Qing Huan's...male lover."
“Ah——Chu Hanxiao!!!”
Xie Qinghuan was completely furious!
Why are you telling everything out loud?
She was so embarrassed that she hit his arm with a handkerchief.
Seeing his teasing eyes, she covered her face and ran out.
Chu Hanxiao followed with his eyes.
I watched her leave the bedroom, because the emperor hadn't spoken yet.
He didn't chase after her.
Only he and his son were left in the bedroom.
It was rare for the old emperor to show a trace of kindness.
"Yeongyeong, sit down."
"Yes."
He leaned against the head of the bed and looked him up and down.
His eyes rested on his scarred hands.
Sighed softly.
"You suffered."
He knew that the boy was not lying.
If that old man Xie Zhiqiu knew his identity, he would never treat him so harshly...
I would not let him continue to wander around after his muteness was cured.
Chu Hanxiao lowered his eyes, his expression unclear.
"I don't feel bitter. This is my fate."
The old emperor wanted to pat his hands.
Seeing him subconsciously shrink back, avoiding his touch.
His outstretched hand froze.
It fell on his shoulder.
"However... you have endured hardships and returned from the people. When you succeed to the throne in the future... you will surely understand the sufferings of the people and become a wise ruler!"
Chu Hanxiao thought he was testing her again.
He quickly stood up and bowed.
"I don't dare."
The old emperor waved at him.
"I was infected with the disease, and everyone in the palace avoided me. Only you and Qinghuan stayed by my side...
Well, there is no outsider here, no need to be polite."
"……Yes."
Chu Hanxiao's mind was spinning rapidly.
He was worried that the emperor would suspect that it was he and Xie Qinghuan who were behind this.
But fortunately...
The emperor's love for Xie Qinghuan far exceeded his imagination.
“The late emperor had high hopes for you when he was alive, and the empress dowager also said… the next empress will definitely be Qing Huan.
Since you and Qinghuan are in love with each other, and you hold the prince's golden seal.
The position of Crown Prince naturally follows the will of the late Emperor, and it belongs to you."
Chu Hanxiao naturally refused.
"I dare not ask for too much, I just want to be with Qing Huan and Prime Minister Bai."
The emperor said no more, but just looked at him with admiration.
There was a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"So, tell me...what is this 'male favorite'?"
"Uh……"
Coaxing the old emperor to sleep.
Chu Hanxiao hurried back to the side hall to coax Xie Qinghuan.
I saw that the lights in the side hall had been turned off.
He entered quietly.
I saw...the eldest lady was lying in bed sulking.
Hearing the noise, he closed his eyes and dozed off.
Chu Hanxiao curled his lips.
He lay behind her.
Hold her in your arms.
He lowered his voice and coaxed:
"Still angry?"
"Hmph! Go away! Shame on you..."
The thought that he actually told the Emperor's uncle... that he was a male concubine!
She was so ashamed that she felt embarrassed.
Struggling to get away from him.
But Chu Hanxiao turned around domineeringly and held her in his arms.
He rested his chin on top of her head.
One by one, he stroked her long hair at the back of her head.
"Qing Huan... If I could choose, I really don't want to go back to the palace."
Xie Qinghuan was still struggling.
I heard him say sadly that he didn't want to go back to the palace.
Asking despite knowing the answer:
"why?"
Chu Hanxiao took a deep breath and sighed.
"How heartless..."
"what?"
Chu Hanxiao hugged her tighter.
"You want me to go back to the palace? Are you willing to do that?"
Xie Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat.
But he still insisted.
"But you have to go back to the palace sooner or later!"
"Then I want to go later, a little later..."
After returning to the palace, we can no longer see each other day and night...
He will go crazy.
Xie Qinghuan really couldn't bear to see him.
Only then did I stop being angry with him.
He smiled and consoled her:
"It doesn't matter. When you return to the palace, I will ask the Imperial Grandmother and the Imperial Uncle to grant us a marriage!"
"Um……"
Chu Hanxiao hummed in frustration.
I hesitated whether I should tell her...
After thinking it over, he finally released his embrace and looked into her eyes.
A little embarrassed.
"Just now... I discussed with the Emperor that after the solution is developed... I may need to go to Hanyang..."
Xie Qinghuan's smile froze on his face.
His hands also loosened their grip on his waist.
The beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
"You mean, you want to provide disaster relief?"
Chu Hanxiao was a little nervous, afraid that she would be angry.
But still answered truthfully.
"Well...if not, I would have a hard time convincing the public if I rashly returned to the court as the crown prince..."
Xie Qinghuan tilted his head and thought about it.
Isn't that just right?
She was also planning to go to Hanyang to find her master!
So he smiled and agreed.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
"no!"
Chu Hanxiao refused immediately.
"Hanyang is not the imperial palace. There is no comfortable environment. There are patients everywhere and there is a lack of food and clothing..."
"Then I must go even more! If you can go, why can't I?"
tsk...
"How can you be the same as me? I can't let you suffer with me!"
"Do you look down on me?"
Xie Qinghuan recalled the eldest prince's classic quotes and put them into practice.
Seeing Chu Hanxiao’s face getting darker.
She put the final word on it.
"I don't care. Anyway, you said that we must be together!"
hiss……
This little girl!
I have learned to use his words to stop him!
