Shen Ye's face was sincere, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo placed beside the bed was shining brightly.

He waited patiently for Shen Li's reply, but... he never thought that he would smile so indifferently and carelessly.

"You're thinking too much. I just felt that... you were a little pitiful at that time, so I helped you."

Shen Ye: ...

"In addition, those children of the third brother... there is really no one who can take it out. They are all crooked melons, jujubes, wine bags and rice bags, and they have no talent for governing the country. Only you... a little bit stronger, at least you can love the people like a son, and take the interests of the peopleThe most important thing is that this is what a king of a country... should do, not be as hypocritical as your father."

Shen Ye was silent again, and he still looked at Shen Li in disbelief.

"I really didn't expect...you would bring me the jade seal. If I really took it, have you thought about your situation?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Li asked instead.

Shen Ye said in a sullen tone: "I know... Uncle Emperor, you will not kill me."

Shen Li said: "How can you be so sure, you don't understand me."

Shen Ye replied without thinking: "Why don't you understand? I have known you for so many years, so I naturally know...the people you kill are not good, and I... I didn't do anything harmful to nature, so naturally you wouldn't kill them."I."

Shen Li's expression also softened, "Third son, don't be so naive when you become the emperor in the future."

Shen Ye: "You..."

The corner of Shen Li's mouth curved slightly, then he picked up the jade seal, and casually threw it to the side, "I don't care for this piece of shit, what I want...is much more important than this."

When he spoke the second half of the sentence, his eyes obviously brightened a little.

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What... what?"

"What are you inquiring about? This is not something you can inquire about. By the way, where is your father..."

Shen Ye's face was slightly gloomy, and he sighed: "As you said, everything he did... I know very well that the throne... the royal grandfather was originally intended to be passed on to you, but he... did it for his own ambition., tampered with the will, and took away the position that should belong to you, not only that... the governance of the country is also muddled, controlled by the Empress Dowager all day long, I... really can't stand it."

"So... No matter how you say it, the throne belongs to you, Emperor Uncle. I originally thought... I would return the throne to you after he has retired, but unexpectedly... you are not willing..."

Shen Li had a faint smile on his face, "To be honest...at first I really wanted to remove him from the throne, take back what should belong to me, and even...wanted to kill him, but on second thought...doing so is reallyIt's also quite boring. Over the years, someone has taught me one thing, that you don't have to be attached to the dead things in your hands. During those days, I lived a really depressed life. Why did I let myself bear such a heavy burden?As for the burden, everyone can live more easily... Isn't it good?"

The truth of these words surprised Shen Ye. He...had never had a long conversation with this cold and aloof emperor uncle. At that time...he was a little afraid to approach him.

It took him a long time to figure out the emperor's uncle's intentions. After talking deeply now, he felt that... what he knew about the emperor's uncle before was only a drop in the bucket.

He has been respected and admired since he was a child, but now...he feels that, Uncle Emperor...he is worthy of everyone's admiration.

"That person...is General Cui." Shen Ye tentatively asked.

Shen Li was not surprised, but a gentle smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, "You guessed it, yes, I love him very much."

Shen Ye looked at him, was silent for a while, finally nodded and said with a smile: "I think...General Cui should also think the same way, your behavior...it's hard not to be tempted."

Shen Li smiled, "I never thought... that I would love someone so much."

"I really envy you all." Shen Ye said from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Li raised his eyes and said, "Envy? Why are you envious? Don't you have Wanqing too? Could it be that...you have no affection for her?"

"I..." Shen Ye hesitated to speak.

Seeing him hesitate, Shen Li restrained his smile, "We've been married for so long...don't say anything inappropriate..."

"No, I'm with her... It's not a matter of a day or two. She has her own heart, and I don't want to force her."

Shen Li sighed and said: "Some things...you can't just rely on your own feelings, you can also ask her what she means."

Shen Ye hesitated: "I..."

"That's all I have to say, the relationship...you have to rely on yourself."

The two chatted about other things for a while, and after a while, Qin Wanqing brought up hot tea and poured a cup for the two of them respectively.

I don't know if it's Shen Ye's illusion, but always feel that Qin Wanqing's vision of him is different from the previous alienation.

"Uncle Huang, try the tea made by Wanqing." Shen Ye said with a smile.

Shen Li took a sip, "That's right, you're lucky."

Shen Ye looked at Qin Wanqing and smiled gently.

On the way back, the two of them were almost silent all the way. It was not until they arrived at the Eastern Palace that Qin Wanqing seemed to remember to speak: "So...you and him... have always been at odds on the surface, but in fact..."

Shen Ye nodded without denying, "You... just heard it all?"

Qin Wanqing didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

"I'm sorry Wanqing, there are some things... I didn't inform you in time."

Qin Wanqing smiled slightly and said: "What did your Highness say, you are the crown prince, I... just a woman, how can you tell me everything."

Qin Wanqing's attitude was modest and decent, and there was nothing wrong with her, but...such an attitude made Shen Ye feel a little...uncomfortable.

"No, it's not just like that." Shen Ye blurted out.

Qin Wanqing looked at him and asked in a low voice, "How is that?"

Shen Ye pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind about something, "Wanqing...will you stay with me forever?"

Qin Wanqing didn't say anything for a while, but her eyelashes trembled slightly, "I'm not... always by your side."

Shen Ye slowly reached out and held her hand, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "You mean..."

Qin Wanqing did not refuse, but said in a stammering tone: "Your Highness, I have been married to you for many years..."

As if he had guessed what the second half of her sentence was, Shen Ye hugged her into his arms and cut off her words, "It's my fault, I've been too distant from you all this time, I always thought you...That's why there is no..."

Qin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and put her chin on his shoulder, "Your Highness, I have already told you, but you didn't care."

"I'm sorry, I... I'm really elm-headed, I made you... wait for so long in vain." Shen Ye patted his head, regretting.

Qin Wanqing raised her eyes and said with a slight smile, "You're just...too busy, I...don't blame you."

Looking at her shy and flushed cheeks in front of him, Shen Ye felt for the first time that he was too stupid to misunderstand her for so long...
