After Concubine Jin finished speaking, she went out, leaving Murong Zheng alone in the huge bedroom.
Although he was very weak, he was not sleepy at all. Apart from the endless regret in his heart, all he thought about was how to make up to Concubine Jin.
He had completely forgotten that not long ago, he had blamed Concubine Jin for being cruel to him. Now, he finally realized that he was the cruel one and he had let her down.
The only person he could make up for was Murong Kai, but Murong Kai was already thirteen years old and had long passed the days when he needed his father's company.
Yes, I can train him well and find him a good marriage. Then, I will have the kingdom and the beauty in my hands. Then...
Thinking about the future, Murong Zheng was at a loss. Over the years, because of Concubine Dong, he had considered Murong Jie's marriage, but had never thought about Murong Kai, let alone how to teach him.
As he was also his son, he owed Murong Kai so much.
"Your Majesty, the third prince requests to see you." A young eunuch suddenly hurried in, fear in his eyes as he spoke.
The emperor had previously ordered that the news of his awakening should be concealed, but since the emperor woke up, the empress came and went freely, Concubine Jin came and went, the eunuchs came and went, even the eunuchs from the Qingliang Palace came. This news might not be concealed anymore, and the emperor would definitely punish them at that time.
Just when they were extremely worried, Murong Kai appeared again and said directly that he wanted to see his father.
The Third Prince was not favored by the Emperor, and he had no support from his mother. He was a nobody in the palace, so he told the Third Prince that the Emperor had not woken up yet. However, the Third Prince saw through his perfunctory response and said coldly, "Go tell my father that I want to see him."
Although he was not favored, a small eunuch like him could not bear the anger, so he could only resign himself to going into the bedroom to report. Unexpectedly, Murong Zheng, who had a depressed look on his face, suddenly looked up and shouted at him: "You bastard, you didn't even let him in when the Third Prince came."
The scolded eunuch was bewildered. He wondered when the Third Prince became so important to the Emperor.
The young eunuch let out a long sigh and quickly turned around to report. After a while, Murong Kai slowly walked into the bedroom.
Murong Kai was pushed in sitting in a wheelchair with a calm expression. Murong Zheng looked at the jade-like boy under the dim yellow light, his heart already boiling with rage. But when his eyes fell on his legs, his heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.
It was the woman he doted on who caused all this. He knew it clearly, yet he still covered it up and condoned it.
Murong Kai looked at the regret in Murong Zheng's eyes and said nothing for a long time. He just sat quietly opposite him and said softly, "My son has a leg injury and cannot salute you, father."
"No, no." Murong Zheng struggled to stand up, but his body couldn't stand it. After struggling for a few times, he didn't stand up, but was panting.
"Father may not care who poisoned you, but do you know who found the antidote for you?"
Murong Kai's expression was calm, and he spoke slowly and unhurriedly.
"This time, Father was very grateful for Bei'an's Ruyi Bottle."
"Beian's national treasure?" Murong Zheng was a little surprised. He had heard of the Ruyi Bottle, of course, but that was Bei'an's national treasure. Even if he asked the Emperor of Bei'an for it, the Emperor would not give it to him. How could it be that saved his life
The time he spent detoxifying from the poison was not long, so it was impossible for him to have time to look for Emperor Bei'an. The person who could take out the Ruyi Bottle was in the Great Zhou, and that must be... Princess Jiaoyang.
Murong Kai had a good relationship with Princess Jiaoyang, and it was he who sought her out.
I was in danger twice, and it was them, mother and son, who saved me. Before that, Concubine Jin had feelings for me, but Murong Kai did not blame me or complain about me over the years, as I felt he was not ashamed to be a father. He even asked for the Ruyi Bottle for me.
Murong Zheng was filled with emotion, but Murong Kai just sat there quietly, waiting for him to calm down.
He came here at this time because he had something to ask for, and what he asked for must be approved by his father, so now is the best time.
