Chu Chen looked at Chu Heng, hesitant to speak.

Chu Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said:

"Following Anfan's trend, ostensibly it was to stir up public anger and make the people feel a strong dislike for Wusun."

"If Daliang were to fall... even if Wusun were to be utterly heartless, they would not massacre everyone."

"In this way, as long as the bones of the world's scholars have not been broken, Daliang will not be destroyed."

"Just like Xie Yanyi, even though the official history was controlled by the Emperor of Qi Dynasty, he forcibly gave him a stigma."

"The last years of the Qi Dynasty were turbulent, and the ability to control scholars declined. There were countless people who came to appeal for justice for them."

"For so many years, no one has spoken up for him."

Chu Heng paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe someone has made a fuss about it, but the Chi family is too powerful to be shaken."

Chu Chen still shook his head, leaving Chu Heng puzzled. "What are you doing? Is there anything wrong with this?"

Chu Chen touched his nose and said, "Just this afternoon, someone came to report that all the fish in the Dragon Pond were dead."

"From time to time, there were rumbling sounds, like thunder from heaven falling to earth."

Chu Heng: "..."

The koi in the Dragon Pond are all expensive varieties left by Chu Tianchen.

Not to mention a thousand gold coins, there must be several taels of silver, all of it is money!

The miser emperor felt uncomfortable, but then he thought that the broken koi was of no use to Daliang in his current situation, and he felt... even more uncomfortable!

Life is not easy. Chu Heng sighed, "Hey, wait a minute, Queen, come with me to Xingqing Palace."

Chu Chen immediately joined in the fun and said, "I'll go too, my brother. Take me with you!"

"I am going to see Zheng'er with your sister-in-law. What are you going to do?"

Chu Chen chuckled, "I will be the candle to light the way for my brother and sister-in-law!"

Chu Heng was puzzled when he heard this. This guy must have learned these new words from Xiao Fuxing Geda.

After dinner, the emperor and empress took Chu Chen, a big light bulb, to Xingqing Palace together.

By the Dragon Pond, the grass is withered and the flowers are dead, and the sound of Xie Yuheng's flute makes the pond seem even more desolate.

Listening to the flute sound getting closer, Chu Chen really wanted to turn around and leave immediately. It would be better not to watch this excitement!

Fortunately, there were a lot of notes in his pocket. He picked up two pieces at random and stuffed them into his ears. Chu Chen sighed with pleasure.

He moved closer to Chu Heng and muttered, "Brother, you are really something. You said before that Xie Yuheng's flute playing was unique."

“It’s so unpleasant, tsk tsk tsk…” Chu Chen shook his head.

Chu Heng glanced at him and said, "It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. If I say it sounds good, who dares to say it doesn't sound good?"

"It sounds bad, but you have to say it nicely."

"Don't you think the expressions of those who compliment you against their will are very interesting?"

Chu Chen nodded, then clicked his tongue twice, "Brother, you are so bad!"

Chu Heng had a rare smile on his face as he followed the sound of the flute.

I saw a young man in blue standing by the water, holding a jade flute in his slender white hands.

There was a little kid next to him, half squatting on the ground, trying hard to maintain a happy expression.

As if sensing the arrival of someone, the sound of the flute gradually faded away, until the young man sideways glanced in the direction of Chu Heng and others.

In the sight that Xie Yuheng couldn't see, a genuine smile finally appeared on the little baby's face.

Great, I finally made it through!

Chu Heng and his party approached and directly exempted Xie Yuheng from greeting. He asked with concern, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"You are weak. It's windy outside by the water at night. Be careful not to catch a cold."

The Vermilion Bird poked its head out from the little prince's clothes, looked at everyone, and then retracted its head back.

It thinks that the Emperor of Daliang should ask the imperial physician to take a good look at his eyes!

Xie Yuheng is strong enough to kill a cow. How can that be related to his weak body?

Xie Yuheng smiled gently and said, "If I fall asleep, Your Majesty, wouldn't your trip be in vain?"

Chu Heng also smiled, "Let's go for a walk?"

"Your Majesty, please go first."

The king and his minister walked along the edge of the pond, chatting about business.

After telling Xie Yuheng about the affairs of the Western Xianbei, Chu Heng glanced at the moon hanging high in the sky.

"When the Grand Master taught me history when I was a child, he clearly stated the injustice done to Xie Qian."

"I never thought that he would still have descendants in the world."

Xie Yuheng asked softly, "Your Majesty, don't you worry? All of this is a lie from me. Am I not actually a descendant of Xie Qian?"

"Why did Yuheng take Xie to such a big detour?"

Xie Yuheng stroked the jade flute between his fingers and did not deny it.

Chu Heng shook his head helplessly. This kid’s moves were always risky.

If you are not careful, your whole family will be executed. I don't know where they get the confidence from...

As they were about to go back to where they were, Chu Heng said sternly, "We will hold a court meeting tomorrow, as you wish."

Xie Yuheng curled his lips and smiled, "In that case, then I will also give Your Majesty a great gift."

A big gift? Chu Heng was puzzled.

All under heaven belongs to the king, and all treasures in the world are in the national treasury.

Unless the child figured it out himself, Chu Heng couldn't think of anything else that could be called a 'great gift'.

But Xie Yuheng waved towards the little prince.

The little prince made a gesture, and Xie Yuheng nodded.

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "What are these two talking about?"

The young prince solemnly warned Ji Pingjun, "Mother, you and the emperor's uncle should not move here. Zheng'er will be back soon!"

After saying that, the little fellow picked up the gray little bag beside him and ran away.

"Hey!" Ji Pingjun stood up and wanted to chase after him, but then he remembered his instructions.

The child was not even five years old. He was running alone by the pool in the dark. She was really worried.

Just as I was hesitating whether to catch up, the little guy stopped and rummaged through his small bag.

After taking out the pitch-black thing, the childish voice echoed by the pool.

"Thunder God, help me—"

The Emperor and Empress: “…”

Chu Chen: "Hahahahahahahaha...Royal brother and sister-in-law, is Zheng'er stupid?"

"Thunder God and Lightning Goddess are just lies from storybooks. How can there really be gods in the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little creature suddenly throw the thing out, and then immediately ran back with its short legs.

After just a few breaths, there was a muffled "bang" sound, and countless water splashed.

There, the few fish that had managed to survive during the day also followed in the footsteps of their ancestors and went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

The culprit also fell to the ground, not knowing what happened.

The emperor and empress' pupils suddenly shrank, and they hurriedly took steps to look for their daughter.

Fortunately, the little guy didn't suffer any other injuries except for falling flat on his face and getting splashed with water behind him...

The culprit was not the 'Thunder God' but a fish that was blown away and fell right in its path.

He stepped on the fish and fell.

Ji Pingjun picked up the little girl and wiped the mud off her face with heartache.

But she also knew that Chu Heng had good intentions. If it wasn't for his biological son to succeed to the throne, then the mother would be killed and the son would be kept.

When the new emperor ascends the throne one day and knows the truth, the first person he will settle accounts with is her, the queen.
