Chapter 843: The Chu Emperor’s Performance (5)
When he finished reading, he tore the letter into pieces and threw them into the brazier beside him.
“Your Majesty, it seems that our chances of winning this battle are very low.”
This letter was delivered to the Imperial Palace by Chu Ling.
It explained in detail the changes in the experts who had become Saints in the Bizarre Market.
The Chu Emperor nodded.”
Eunuch Wei was slightly stunned. Why are you acting so calmly?”
He was a little surprised.
Having followed the Chu Emperor for so many years, Eunuch Wei knew the Chu Emperor the best.
And now, his performance was so calm, completely unlike the Chu Emperor of the past.
The Chu Emperor smiled.” What should come will come. This battle will come sooner or later. There’s no need to worry too much. When the time comes, just rise up and fight.””
Eunuch Wei did not speak. He felt that something was wrong.
Chu emperor suddenly said: I am tired, today’s morning court is not open, I want to rest for a day.”
Eunuch Wei frowned even more.
Ever since the Chu Emperor ascended the throne, this morning court session had never stopped. It was actually not held today?
However, seeing that the Chu Emperor really didn’t seem to want to speak, he thought that the Chu Emperor was upset because of this letter. Thus, he didn’t disturb him any longer and bade farewell.
Eunuch Wei said before he left.
“Your Majesty, if you need me to die again, let me know at any time.”
The Chu Emperor watched Eunuch Wei leave without saying a word.
After Eunuch Wei closed the door, he stood up and went to the window to look at the scenery outside.
Outside the window, it was still the same.
The Chu Emperor had seen this scenery for many years, but he had never gotten tired of it. Whenever he was in a bad mood or when he was in a good mood, he would come here to take a look.
After so many years, it had long formed a habit.
After staring at the ground for a while longer, the Chu Emperor finally retracted his gaze.
“Yes… Since there is no morning court, I will be impudent today.”
The Chu Emperor went out, and the direction he was walking towards was the rear palace.
After arriving at the rear palace, he went straight to the Empress’s residence and pushed open the door.
The Empress was lighting incense for the incense burner when she heard a sound. When she turned her head to look, she said in surprise,”Your Majesty, isn’t it the time for morning court? Why are you here?”
Although the Empress was already middle-aged, one could still see how she looked when she was young.
The Emperor of Chu smiled and said,”Today is not morning court, so I came to accompany you.””
The Empress finally reacted. Although she didn’t know why, she still pulled the Chu Emperor to sit down.
Just as he was about to say something, the Chu Emperor unexpectedly spoke first.
“Do you hate me?”
Anyone else might not have been able to understand the sudden three words, but the Empress knew it in her heart.
The Empress shook her head and massaged the Chu Emperor’s shoulders.””I don’t hate them. That’s their fate.”
“Born in the family of an emperor, and even more so in the family of a good emperor. With such an honor, they naturally have to shoulder the responsibility. Dying on the battlefield is their destiny.”
“Just as His Majesty said, the children of other people are also children, and your children are also children. The people can send their children to the battlefield, and so can you.”
Hearing the Empress’s words, the Chu Emperor lightly sighed and patted the Empress’s hand.
“I had nine children, and many of them died on the battlefield. I also had a concubine. In order to save me, she defeated the enemy with a single sword strike, but in the end, she died of an internal illness.”
“There are also those soldiers who died on the battlefield, as well as those who have sacrificed themselves for Great Chu for so many years. Their deaths are all related to me.”
“It has been so many years. Everyone knows that I am the Supreme One, but I know in my heart that they are.”
When the Empress heard the Chu Emperor’s rambling, doubt arose in her heart.”Your Majesty, did you encounter something troubling you?”
In the past, the Chu Emperor wouldn’t be so talkative, but today, he seemed very strange.
The Chu Emperor shook his head and said,” No, I just feel that there are still many things that have not been done. There are still many loopholes in Great Chu that have not been patched up.”
“Now, most of the people in Great Chu have no worries about food and clothing. Your Majesty only needs time.””There’s no rush,” the Empress explained.”
“Yes,” “You can’t rush it,” said the Chu Emperor.
He changed the topic. He didn’t want to say more here.
“Accompany me to talk about other things, talk about the past.”
The Empress smiled and said,”ChenQie obeys the decree.””
On this day, the Chu Emperor stayed in the Empress’s chambers and only came out in the afternoon. He then went to the chambers of the other concubines. After a long time, he finally walked out of the palace alone at night.
It was already late at night, and there were no commoners on the streets. They did not know that the emperor of the entire Great Chu was walking on the streets.
The Chu Emperor looked through all the streets and finally arrived at Zhai Xing Lou.
“Your Majesty, please.”
In front of Zhai Xing Lou, Director Mu was hunched over, looking like an ordinary old man.
The Chu Emperor waved his hand and said indifferently,””All the spies, withdraw. No one can be left alive. Otherwise, I will take your heads.”
As he finished speaking, the black shadows quickly left.
Director Mu was stunned. He did not understand what had happened.
At this moment, Emperor Chu looked at Director Mu with a complicated gaze and said,””Let’s go in and talk…”
