Chapter 462 - 459: Stirred_1
"Father, even though I am foolish, I am not stupid! They all bully me openly and secretly! Those years... when Tongji was around, he protected me with his life. I know you are already very tired from managing the affairs of the state and I did not want to worry you more with my matters! So, I have endured it! Now that Tongji is gone, no one is left to protect me! It took me a lot of effort to find Tingzhen, and I fear she will be taken away. I will have nothing left! That’s why I dared to come bother you! Please, Father, fulfill my request!"
King Liang knelt down and knocked his head on the shiny floor twice. Lady Qiu tugged at the Emperor’s sleeve, "Your Majesty, look at how sincere King Liang is! I am moved! Please grant King Liang’s request and fulfill the wishes of these lovers!"
The Emperor looked at his son’s pitiful appearance, suddenly recalling his own childhood...
Back then, he too was weak and timid, afraid of everything, because he did not have a loving father. Although he was a prince, even the higher-ranking servants in the palace dared to step on him. His sister had to bow and scrape before the kitchen eunuchs just to get him a little better food on his birthday. They were princes and princesses!
The difficult scenes of his childhood flashed in his mind like a revolving lantern. The Emperor clenched his fist tightly, then slowly released it...
His son only wanted a woman, yet he had to beg pitifully. He was a prince! The Emperor’s son! How could he live so miserably?
Over the years, the Emperor had lived comfortably, so it had been a long time since he had recalled his own humble beginnings. Now, seeing his son in such a pitiful and weak state, the Emperor’s heart was filled with both anger and pity.
"You are a prince! My son! And you are begging for a woman like this?! Stand up!" The Emperor vented his anger on Gao Demao, "What are you standing there for? Help King Liang up!"
