Xi Hanzhou smiled nonchalantly and poured a cup of tea for his father: "Father, it's okay."
"Isn't it just a matter of living a few years less? It's enough for my son to live to fifty."
The more nonchalant and indifferent he appeared, the more sad and upset the emperor felt.
He started drugging him ten years ago, and it was he, as a father, who failed to protect him.
When his mother died of childbirth complications, he promised her that he would protect their son, but he didn't do it.
Fifty years old...
At the age of fifty, does he have to wait until the young to be buried
The emperor's eyes were red, and he held his son's hand: "Don't talk nonsense, didn't Qiao girl say it? It won't have much impact, you will definitely live a long life."
Xi Hanzhou took his hand in return to comfort him, and said proudly, "Well, my son will definitely accompany my father to live a long life. Doesn't my father always want to go out for a walk? Then maybe we can go out for a walk together with crutches."
Seeing this, Su Qiao also joined in the fun: "Count me in, I'll drive the carriage for you and be your groom."
The emperor was amused by her. "You are so thin that you look like you could be blown away by the wind. You are still driving a carriage? It's good enough that you are not being driven by the horse."
"Besides, how old were you then? Could you still drive a carriage?"
Su Qiao waved his fist, looking very high-spirited: "That's not necessarily true. I eat better and exercise more every day. Even if I'm in my seventies or eighties, I'm sure I'll be in good health."
"Okay, I'll wait and see whether you will be driven by the carriage or drive the carriage."
"Zhou'er, take her to the Imperial Garden. There are many flowers blooming in the garden recently."
Xi Hanzhou knew that he was not in a very good mood at the moment, but he was just suppressing it and didn't want to show it in front of him.
"Yes, Father, please don't be too tired, and don't worry about your son. I am healthy now, and there is nothing wrong with me."
The emperor nodded slightly and pointed to the book on the table: "Take this book too!"
He had been quite interested before, but now, that good mood and the sudden impulse were long gone.
He bears a great responsibility for his son's condition.
"Your Majesty, you should keep this book. You can read it when you are tired and bored. It is a pastime. Your Majesty is very busy every day. It is not easy to take care of so many things."
Did Su Qiao know that he actually really liked reading these books, and was very interested in some of the things discussed in them? He even yearned for the life of roaming the world with a sword in his hand.
This was the first time that Su Qiao met an emperor who had such a wish.
The emperor was originally in a depressed mood? She smiled like this, and finally smiled again: "Haha, you still know that being an emperor is not easy?"
Everyone envies being an emperor? Everyone says being an emperor is good? But in fact, although the emperor seems to have a glorious life on the surface, he also has many frustrations behind the scenes, and his life is really hard.
When others are tired, can they ask for leave? Can they rest? But as an emperor? There is not a single day that they can rest.
The people below would only report the problems they couldn't solve to their superiors. But as an emperor, there was no way to report these matters to his superiors. He could only find ways to solve them.
"That is? In my opinion, being an emperor is the most tiring, hardest, and most troublesome thing."
"However, the country needs a wise and powerful emperor like you, so please work harder!"
The emperor was in a much better mood than before, "What a joke!"
