1454. Chapter 1454 Conversation
As the year approached, the weather was getting colder and colder. Zhao Rao stepped on the snow and made creaking noises. Cheng Zheng supported her arm, "If you don't have a soft sedan chair, you have to walk by yourself, isn't it hard? "
Zhao Rao gently pushed his hand away, "I like walking."
"Don't take Zhao Lan's words to heart." Cheng Zheng let go of her arm, and held her cold little hand with a warm and thick hand, "Whether it's Zhao Lan or the second prince, they are not good, so don't worry."
"I'm not worried." Zhao Rao was greedy for the warmth in his hands and didn't take out her own. She looked up at him, saw a bit of gentleness in his deep and dark eyes, and her heart trembled slightly. He was a decisive man. When she first approached him, she never saw a smile on his face. He hardly had a friend in court, and no one dared to approach him. He was lonely and independent. On the battlefield, there is always a murderous look in his eyes that people dare not look directly at. She never thought that one day he would be so gentle to her.
"With you here, I don't worry." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
There was a smile in Cheng Zheng's eyes, and he gently squeezed her hand, "Yes."
"Let's go to the imperial study." Zhao Rao's heart beat faster, he withdrew his hand, and walked towards Qianqing Palace at a faster pace.
Looking at her running back, the corners of Cheng Zheng's lips curled up slightly. He had never fought for anything for himself, only her, who he wanted to snatch at all costs. No matter whether Zhao Yong would agree or not in the future, she would just Could be his man.
The backs of the two of them gradually drifted away, but they didn't know that there was someone watching from the corner behind them.
"So that's how it is..." The second prince curled his lips and sneered. It turned out that Cheng Zheng's protection of Zhao Rao was not because she was his niece, but because she had such a despicable relationship.
If people in the world know that their uncles and nephews are messing with ethics, how can they be independent in this world?
Thinking of Cheng Zheng and Zhao Rao's end, the second prince felt a burst of joy, he would definitely not let this pair of dogs go.
Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng didn't know that the scene just now had been watched, and they had already arrived at the Imperial Study Room.
"I've seen Father." Zhao Rao saluted obediently, without looking at Zhao Yong.
"Exemption." Zhao Yong took a fixed look at his daughter, and then looked at Cheng Zheng coldly, "Marquis of An Ning, why didn't I know that you also entered the palace today?"
Cheng Zheng raised his eyes and looked directly into Zhao Yong's eyes, "I send the eldest princess back to the palace."
Zhao Yong snorted coldly, "Everyone go out, Rao'er stays."
He had suppressed Zhao Ning's anger just now, and now he just wanted to talk to the daughter in front of him.
"Yes." Cheng Zheng bowed his head and stepped back, because he felt that their father and daughter should have a good talk.
Only their father and daughter were left in the imperial study room, Zhao Yong looked at the daughter who looked exactly like the former queen, but he didn't know how to speak.
"I..." Zhao Yong coughed lightly, "Sit down first."
Zhao Rao sat down expressionlessly, she didn't want to hear anything Zhao Yong said here, but who told him to be both a father and a king, how many people in this world could resist him?
"When your mother married me, she was only fifteen years old." Zhao Yong said in a low voice, "We are young couples. When I was in deep danger, it was your mother who faced me together. Your mother has everything. Well, it's just that she has a bit of a strong temper, and she doesn't allow me to favor other people, because she has talked back to me many times over this matter..."
He was already the king of a country at that time, how could he only love her alone? He loved and respected Cheng Ying, but he was also interested in fresh women. I can't live without a woman every day. At that time, I didn't know that it was caused by my headache. Raoer, I have too many grievances and grievances with your mother that I can't explain clearly. I did something wrong at the beginning. I shouldn't have oppressed the maid around her Her arrogance."
"Later your mother didn't fight against me anymore. I thought I suppressed her, but now that I think about it, your mother must have been disappointed in me at that time..." Zhao Yong said, "I'm sorry for your mother, and I'm sorry for you too. .”
Zhao Rao looked at him expressionlessly. When a woman loves a man, she doesn't want him to touch other women. Only when she doesn't love him will she not care.
"Concubine De deserves to die, and death a hundred times is not enough to apologise." Zhao Yong continued in a low voice, "Concubine De is alive, not because I am merciful."
"I know, you are for the second prince." Zhao Rao laughed mockingly.
Zhao Yong sighed, "Are you worried that Zhen will make him the crown prince, and he will make Concubine De the empress dowager in the future?"
"Isn't it?" Zhao Rao sneered.
"Rao'er, there is still the third prince now." Zhao Yong patiently explained, "If the second prince is abolished, do you think the first prince can accommodate the third prince?"
Zhao Rao suddenly looked up at him, she vaguely felt that she had guessed his thoughts, but she was not sure, she knew that he didn't like the eldest prince, and thought he was too cowardly, if even the second prince was abolished, then he would be... …
"I really want you to take the third prince with you." Zhao Yong said.
"What?" Zhao Rao looked at Zhao Yong in a daze, what did he mean by that?
Zhao Yong said in a deep voice, "I made Cheng Zheng the teacher of the third prince and let him live in Cheng's house. I hope you can get closer to him."
"What if I don't agree?" Zhao Rao asked, she hadn't planned to forgive Zhao Yong yet, so why would she want to help her.
"Rao'er, I'm doing it for your own good." Zhao Yong looked at her, "It's impossible for you and Cheng Zheng to be together as long as I'm alive. If you take care of the third prince, he will naturally plan for you in the future."
Zhao Rao's face changed slightly, he already knew that she and Cheng Zheng...
"I only have two years left." Zhao Yong said his illness for the first time, "There is not much I can do."
"What did you say?" Zhao Rao asked word by word. She knew that Zhao Yong was ill, but she didn't expect it to be so serious. What does it mean that there are only two years left? Can he only live for two years?
"I am sick and cannot be cured." Zhao Yong said.
Zhao Rao felt as if a hole had been dug in his heart, and suddenly became numb from the pain, "Could it be that... Duanmuxiu can't be cured either?"
"No." Zhao Yong shook his head lightly, "If it wasn't for the concubine of Yuan Kingdom, I might not be here now, and she said that my illness can't be cured."
"I don't believe it." Zhao Rao blurted out. She didn't believe that Zhao Yong would die. Although everyone said that he was sick in the past two years, she never thought that he would die. In her mind, he was like a building that would never die. How could the fallen mountain die...
Zhao Yong smiled faintly, "I have finished what I want to say, would you like to take the third prince with you?"
"I..." Zhao Rao wanted to refuse, but the words came to his lips but couldn't come out.
"I'll give you time to think about it." Zhao Yong said quietly, "Let Cheng Zheng come in, I have something to tell him."
