"Come on, go to the prison and pick up King Cheng," he said calmly. "Don''t make a noise. Just send people to the palace to take care of them."

    The attendant agreed and turned away.

    Lu Sheng calmed his mind and stepped into the hall.

    There was only a strong smell of soup and medicine left in the palace filled with ambergris. Lu Sheng walked slowly to the Dragon couch and patted empress Jiang on the shoulder.

    "Mother, go back and have a rest first. There are ministers here."

    Empress Jiang has been cooking for two days. Now she is pale blue and looks very haggard.

    She looked at Lu Sheng with a concerned look and gently shook her head.

    "I''ll go to the outside for a meeting. Talk to your father and son."

    With that, empress Jiang glanced at the emperor and got up and went out of the house.

    Lu Sheng sat by the bed and held the emperor''s trembling hand.

    "Sheng''er, here you are," said the emperor, leaning half against the bed with a smile on his face. "Don''t embarrass the old men in the hospital. They all want to lose half their hair in order to renew my life. It looks scary."

    He smiled and coughed violently again.

    "Cough, cough... I''m really old and won''t live long. The world is yours after all." a layer of fog surged into the emperor''s turbid eyes. "Sheng''er, I owe you a lot... You blame me?"

    Lu Sheng looked at the old man''s gray sideburns, smiled with tears in his eyes, and said, "the father has always treated his children very well. How can the children blame the father?"

    "I''m not only sorry for you... I''m also sorry for your mother," the emperor''s expression showed a vague nostalgia. "When I knew your mother, she was still a lady in the waiting room. I had made a marriage with someone. I loved her charming and wanted to take her into the palace..."

    The emperor even forgot to call himself I. He was immersed in the memories with Xia Nian and unconsciously smiled, "she is young and simple. I really love her..."

    "But I couldn''t protect her... I didn''t even have time for her to meet our children..."

    "She wants to have a child so much..."

    "I may be a good emperor, but I''ve never been a good husband..."

    "Nianer, she must be glad to learn that you are so excellent now?"

    "Soon, nianer, I''m going to find you. Don''t worry... How am I..."

    The emperor''s face was filled with a smile. It seemed that he really saw the beautiful woman with a beautiful smile that year.

    Seeing her standing by the lake, dressed in yellow spring clothes, she asked herself in a clear voice:

    There are few boatmans in rainy days. Would you like to come and take my boat?

    Lu Sheng listened to the emperor reading his mother, and finally couldn''t help crying.

    He was so eager to have a mother. He asked the empress dowager, the father and the emperor, all those around him who could ask, where was his mother?

    Why do others have mothers, but I don''t?

    He didn''t complain.

    But now he understands that the most painful thing about his mother''s departure is the monarch who seems to care about no one.

    It turned out that he loved her so much.

    Whose life can escape such a disaster?

    "I have nothing to tell you. I believe you can shoulder this burden," the emperor turned to look at the handsome young man with a happy smile on his face. "I know what your second brother has done and how to deal with him. I''ll leave it to you. I believe your judgment."

    "My son has sent someone to pick up my second brother. If you want to see him, you can call him at any time," Lu Sheng calmed down and said, "father, don''t worry, my son... Will keep him alive."
