Prince Consort

Chapter 90

Xie Ze'an's words gave Zhao Chongzhao the coldest taste in 16 years.

His father had been disappointed in him, his sister had been disappointed in him, and the officials had been disappointed in him, but with Xie Zean by his side, all these were reversed bit by bit.

Now, Xie Ze'an said he was disappointed in him.

Zhao Chongzhao's heart seemed to be frozen by Xie Ze'an's eyes when he left.

He knew that Xie Zean was a very guarded person, and it was difficult to touch Xie Zean's heart. It was not easy for him to let Xie Zean give him such a little trust, but just now, he destroyed that little trust.

Zhao Chongzhao was taught to calm down by a ladle of cold water, and his thinking ability returned.

He turned his head to look at Xie Xi, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is it really just the tiger's entry into the city that scares the people?"

Zhao Chongzhao's eyes were so terrifying that Xie Xi took two steps back in shock.

Zhao Chongzhao connected all doubts at once.

Xie Xi told him that the tiger had escaped and ran into the city to frighten the people.Originally it was just a trivial matter, but Zhao Ang wanted to make use of it to make the matter fall on him.

Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Xi went out of the city yesterday and happened to meet Zhao Ang. This guy asked someone to bring big and small bags of delicious food and fun to the capital. He stopped him curiously and asked, and found that it was sent to Xie Zean. Sulked, he took those things down on the spot.

Xie Xi knew that he hated Zhao Ang very much, so he deliberately diverted the matter to Zhao Ang, making him lose his mind——

Xie Xi must be hiding something!

If it was just the tiger that frightened passers-by, how could he be so scared?

Xie Ze'an said that he hurt people, hurt people...

Zhao Chongzhao violently spread out the imperial decree brought by Xie Zean.

When two tigers entered the city, eight people were killed and 11 were injured...

Zhao Chongzhao's eyes darkened.

He threw the edict into Xie Xi's arms: "Come here, pull this guy out! Don't let him appear in front of my eyes again!"

Xie Xi trembled and couldn't speak.

Zhao Chongzhao quickly stepped out of the East Palace to the Imperial Study Room.

He knelt outside the door waiting for Zhao Yingxuan to see him.

Zhao Yingyuan wanted to leave Zhao Chongzhao alone, but when she saw his red eyes through the door, she sighed in her heart and called him into the room.

Zhao Chongzhao knelt down in front of Zhao Ying spontaneously again.

Zhao Ying said, "What's the use of kneeling?"

Zhao Chongzhao clenched his fists: "Father please punish me."

Zhao Ying said, "Chongzhao, how many more years do you think I can punish you?"

Zhao Chongzhao was startled, looked up and saw Zhao Ying's temples were gray and aged faster than Xie Hui and Liang Jian, his nose was sour, and tears were streaming down his face.Zhao Ying didn't scold him, but it made him feel more uncomfortable than scolding him. He let people down again, not only Saburo, but also father...

Choking with sobs, Zhao Chongzhao said, "Father is in his prime!"

Zhao Ying said: "It's okay not to say such self-deceiving words." He looked at Zhao Chongzhao and said bluntly, "Six years ago, I said something to Yan Ning, but Yan Ning and San Lang changed my decision. I originally thought that with Yan Ning and Saburo by your side, you would never go wrong, but I didn't expect that you have drifted away from them in the past two years, and recently you have favored a villain like Xie Xi."

Zhao Chongzhao's heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.

It took him a long time before he opened his mouth and asked, "What did the emperor say about it?"

Zhao Ying said: "At that time, I wanted to announce that the sons of the kings would enter the palace to study with you for two or three years, and choose the best among you to stand up..."

Zhao Chongzhao looked at Zhao Ying in disbelief.

He always knew that Zhao Ying was dissatisfied with him, but he never expected to be dissatisfied to this extent.

No wonder my younger sister met Xie Zean repeatedly regardless of the differences between men and women, no wonder Xie Zean took him to "play" so many things, no wonder Zhao Ying made Xie Zean her son-in-law...

All for him, all for him.

All because he has never been mature enough.

If he had known about this at the time, he might have hated Zhao Ying.

But Zhao Ying told him everything face to face at this moment, but he only thought of what he had done to his sister and Xie Ze'an in the past two years.

No matter what the reason was, he pushed the two people who treated him best in this world farther and farther away.

How many people can stand unswervingly on Zhao Ying's side after hearing that Zhao Ying has the idea of ​​changing the crown prince?

At that time, there were countless courtiers who heard the news and moved.

For a smart person like my sister and Xie Ze'an, even if he still visits Xie's house frequently, he can feel the change in him, right?

Thinking of Xie Ze'an's eyes when he heard him say "I'm so disappointed in you", Zhao Chongzhao's heart ached as if he couldn't breathe anymore.

That should be the same as when he heard Xie Ze'an say "Your Highness let me down", right?

Xie Ze'an helped him without hesitation when his crown prince was in danger, but he didn't know anything, but he only thought that Xie Ze'an was not good enough for him, didn't trust him enough, and didn't treat him wholeheartedly enough.

How can a guy like him, who is not motivated, let Xie Zean give his heart to him with confidence?

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Father, I will handle this matter well, and I must give an explanation to the dead and injured people."

Zhao Ying stared at him for a moment, then nodded for him to back down.

Zhao Chongzhao didn't go back to the East Palace, he asked someone to go back and take the things seized yesterday to the Xie Mansion, while he went ahead.

When Zhao Chongzhao arrived at Xie's house, he went straight to Xie Ze'an's residence.

Seeing Zhao Chongzhao rushing over, Princess Yan Ning couldn't help asking: "Brother, what's the matter? After Sanlang came back, he locked himself in the study to practice calligraphy, and didn't say anything when asked."

Zhao Chongzhao fixed his eyes on the tightly closed door of Xie Zean's study, and replied, "Sanlang said he was disappointed in me..."

Princess Yanning's heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Chongzhao turned to look at his sister: "Ning'er, at that time you often asked me to go to Sanlang, did you make an appointment with Sanlang to help me?"

Princess Yan Ning opened her eyes wide.

Zhao Chongzhao already got the answer from Princess Yan Ning's expression.

All kinds of things in the past flashed through Zhao Chongzhao's mind. It was just a ignorant love bud at the beginning of love, and it seemed to grow so crazy that it couldn't stop within this day.

Xie Ze'an also cared about him, otherwise he wouldn't be sad and disappointed by his mistakes.

Xie Ze'an has done so much for him, but never said anything. Instead, he is at ease in front of his son-in-law, and doesn't care about the many opportunities he lost because of his status as a son-in-law...

Zhao Chongzhao walked quickly to Xie Zean's study, and shouted, "Sanlang...Sanlang..."

The door is closed.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "I shouldn't have believed Xie Xi, Sanlang. I saw the imperial decree, and I know that the two tigers not only scared people, but also killed and injured so many people. Sanlang, next time something like this happens I will Definitely going to check..."

At this time, the people who went back to the East Palace to pick up the things also rushed over.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Yesterday I met Zhao Ang's people, he sent someone to deliver things to you, and I withheld them all. I don't like other people trying to please you like this. Xie Xi saw it yesterday and deliberately put things away Draw it to Zhao Ang. I was so angry that I lost my head, Saburo, I thought you were helping him deal with me, Saburo, let's go and find out this matter together, okay? Let's go now!"

There was no movement in the study.

Zhao Chongzhao stopped talking and stood quietly outside the door.

Xie Ze'an was supposed to go to Zhao Ang's side immediately after returning, but the anger in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.He didn't want to do things without being calm, so he closed the door and calmed down.

In the end, he still has expectations in his heart. He hopes that Zhao Chongzhao will never change. No matter what their identities and positions are, the two of them can still be as happy as before when they get together.

But after all, this is just his extravagant wish.

When the phrase "disappointment" blurted out, Xie Ze'an instantly understood Zhao Ying's intention of asking him to declare the decree.

Zhao Ying put all the troublesome things he avoided on purpose one by one in front of his eyes.

Zhao Chongzhao's immaturity is also his responsibility.He always thought that it was good that Zhao Chongzhao remained unchanged, and he didn't want to be the one to make Zhao Chongzhao change, because he was greedy for pleasure and didn't want to get too involved with things like imperial power.

Zhao Chongzhao must grow into a qualified monarch.

Not changing is no longer just a matter of Zhao Chongzhao himself.

Every move of the prince of a country is watched by the whole country, and he has no right to make mistakes all the time.

Xie Ze'an threw all the written words into the wastebasket, and looked at the tall figure reflected in the crack of the door.

It is rare for a prince to wait quietly in front of his door for so long. Does he really want Zhao Chongzhao to kneel in front of him and weep bitterly to admit his mistakes and beg for forgiveness?

Xie Ze'an walked to the door of the study silently, and stood opposite Zhao Chongzhao outside the door.

Opening this door, what he has to face is no longer a playmate, but the future monarch.Future monarchs should follow the standards of future monarchs, instead of thinking that it is too early for Zhao Chongzhao to ascend the throne, and they can play happily for a few more years.

The door creaked, and Xie Zean opened it from the inside.

Zhao Chongzhao was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he just stood where he was and looked at Xie Ze'an quietly.

Xie Ze'an spoke first: "How does Your Highness plan to deal with this matter?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "The work of appeasement should have been done. Let's go over there first to find out whether it is man-made or an accident. I will never do things like Baishou Mountain again. When the truth is found out, we should I will admit my mistakes, and I will correct what should be corrected. Saburo, I will never trust others casually in the future!" He carefully held Xie Zean's hand, "Sanlang, you will help me, you have been helping me ..."

Xie Ze settled for a moment, and with an "um", he broke away from Zhao Chongzhao's hand and went forward to explain a few words to the worried Princess Yan Ning.

Princess Yanning looked at him worriedly.

This is the first time that Xie Ze'an has shown his emotions so clearly.

From Zhao Chongzhao's explanation just now, Princess Yan Ning made the whole matter clear. She already knew that Xie Ze'an didn't seem to care about anything, but there was a bottom line in her heart that could not be crossed.He is a person with more integrity than anyone else. Even though he never speaks big words, he always insists on something in his own way.

Zhao Chongzhao's partial belief and false belief, and his behavior of treating human life like nothing has undoubtedly touched Xie Ze'an's bottom line.

Princess Yanning shouted: "Sanlang..."

Xie Ze'an patted the back of her hand, signaling her to be at ease.

Xie Ze'an turned to Zhao Chongzhao: "Let's go."

Zhao Chongzhao has been standing peacefully and peacefully since Xie Zean broke away from his hand, watching them talk, half of his heart is hot and half is cold, and the hot part is because these two people will always forgive him, no matter whether he committed a crime or not. The big mistake; the cold thing is that my performance in the past two years has been so bad, I don't know how long it will take to restore the relationship between the three of them to the original state.

Or... there is no way to recover.

Thinking of Zhao Ying's sentence "How many more years can I punish you?" Zhao Chongzhao felt as if a beast was roaring heart-piercingly, and that roar made every corner of his heart ache.

He wants to grow faster, and faster.

He can't make everyone wait for him.

What if they can't wait?
