He said it very seriously.

At least this was the first time Shangguan Yu had seen such a serious expression on his face. It was obvious that he had thought about it carefully and was not lying.

He was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and smiled. “Nonsense. Do you think that I’ll want to do something you don’t want to do?”

“At least Second Brother is more suitable than me. If it were me… Great Xia might collapse.” Shangguan Heng felt that he did not have any good points. The only good point was that he knew his limits.

Shangguan Yu laughed. “Alright, let’s go and see Father first.”

Shangguan Heng said, “I’m serious.”

Shangguan Yu stopped talking.

When the two of them arrived at Yangxin Hall, they were told that the emperor had already retired to his room to rest.

“Didn’t Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother just come? He went back to rest so quickly?” Shangguan Heng said unhappily.

It was said that there were no father and son relationships in the imperial family. He did not necessarily have deep feelings for the emperor, but the other party was still his biological father.

However, he had not seen the emperor at all since he returned. He always said that it was not appropriate to disturb him.

Shouldn’t he at least be allowed to visit now?

Eunuch Deng smiled awkwardly and said, “His Majesty rested as soon as the two princes entered. The two princes have already left.”

Shangguan Heng frowned. “Then Second Brother and I will go in and take a look. ”

“This…” Eunuch Deng was in a difficult position. “But His Majesty has already rested.”

In Shangguan Heng’s opinion, this was a sign of guilt. He looked at Eunuch Deng strangely. “Don’t tell me my father isn’t awake at all?”

“How is that possible?” Eunuch Deng denied it.

He never expected that the only time he didn’t fight with Eunuch Li in his life would be when they did such a life-threatening thing together.

“I think you’re just feeling guilty. You didn’t let us see Father. Did you do something bad to him inside?” Shangguan Heng said angrily.

Eunuch Deng complained and quickly persuaded, “Your Highness, please lower your voice. You can’t disturb His Majesty’s rest.”

“It’s best if you wake my father up. Otherwise, servants like you will go overboard.”

How could Eunuch Deng stop Shangguan Heng’s temper?

He could only let him in.

Eunuch Li was kneeling by the bed and nagging. When he saw someone enter, he quickly stood up and greeted them.

The emperor lay there with a pale face, his breathing calm, as if he had fallen asleep.

However, with his previous doubts, Shangguan Heng took a few steps forward and reached out to push him away. “Father, Father, wake up.” Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li exclaimed, “Your Highness, you can’t…”

However, they were still a step too late. As soon as they walked in, they met the emperor’s gaze. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Especially since the emperor was glaring at them angrily, Shangguan Heng was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

“Father, they all said that you’re awake. I thought they were lying.” With that, Shangguan Heng turned around and kicked Eunuch Deng. “Then why were you feeling guilty just now?”

“I’m not guilty.” Eunuch Deng looked bitter.

Shangguan Heng did not care if he was guilty or not. He threw the pot out first.

“Father…” He wanted to explain, but when he turned around, the emperor had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep again.

Shangguan Heng decisively shut his mouth. That glance just now was too scary.

He lowered his voice and said, “Second Brother, since Father wants to rest, let’s go.”

Shangguan Yu nodded. He thought of something and frowned. He looked at Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li. “The two of you, come out.”

Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li looked at each other and could only follow.

Shangguan Yu asked, “What happened to my father?”

Shangguan Heng did not think too much about it just now because he was too suddenly frightened. When he heard his question, Shangguan Heng realized that something was wrong.

Even if the emperor needed to rest, he wouldn’t have lacked the strength to scold him, right?

“His Majesty, he…” Eunuch Li stammered, not knowing what to say.

Coincidentally, the imperial physician walked in.

Eunuch Li seemed to have seen a straw to clutch at and hurriedly said, “Imperial Physician Wu, you tell them.”

It turned out that the emperor was seriously injured and suffered aftereffects. When he woke up, not only was he unable to move from the neck down, but he was also unable to speak.

However, Lord Jing’an of the Xuanyuan Kingdom was still in the capital. In order to prevent anything else from happening, coupled with the emperor’s own wishes, they did not dare to announce it to the public.

Shangguan Heng’s eyes widened. “But you just said that Father asked Eldest Brother to supervise the country!”

He did not want to supervise the country, but he could help Second Brother fight for it.

“That’s right.” Eunuch Li’s eyes flashed as he said awkwardly, “After Your Majesty woke up, I could tell that he was worried about the country, so I told him about the officials arguing about who would supervise the country..”
