Chapter 48: The Grief of the Deposed Prince

In a living room in the side hall, Liu Zixing struggled and knelt half of his body on the ground: "The sinner Liu Zixing, please bow to the Emperor's uncle, the Regent, and His Highness Prince Xiao Nanchen!"

This title is correct, because he no longer has the status of prince and is of the same generation as Emperor Liu Hui, so he calls Zhou Shengchen the emperor's uncle instead.

Sitting opposite him, Zhou Shengchen asked indifferently: "Liu Zixing, I know you are dissatisfied, but everything has a cause and effect, do you understand?"

Liu Zixing saw that he had said something simply, so he reluctantly sat up and looked over. Because his right arm and left leg were slashed, he was still in unbearable pain, both physically and mentally, even though he was leaning forward.

With a wry smile, Liu Zixing sighed and said: "Perhaps it was because of my previous interactions with Liu Yuan and Zhao Teng, but I should not be deposed. As for being chopped by those thieves, I know it is God's will."

indeed. If Zhou Shengchen and his soldiers had come in earlier, there would be no need for Liu Zixing to wipe Zhao Teng's feet and then suffocate him to death with a foot wipe. But if that were the case, what else would Liu Zixing have done?

Zhou Shengchen and others arrived a little late, and Liu Zixing could only lament that he acted too hastily and recklessly. This is how things are in the world, and the power of interpretation lies with the strong, while the weak can only find reasons to comfort themselves. Otherwise, you will only cause more troubles to yourself, or even offend the powerful.

Liu Zixing's injuries must be due to his hatred for Zhou Shengchen, even extremely. But so what? Yi Dii Diao didn't dare to show it, so he could only find another reason.

"The reason why you ended up like this is because you were too impatient." Zhou Shengchen said indifferently.

Facing the powerful people in the DPRK, Liu Zixing could only apologize again. And because he was disabled, he had to raise his left arm and gesture.

"I have already ordered the guards and imperial doctors to take care of your injuries and protect you," Zhou Shengchen continued.

This is the meaning of confinement. How could Liu Zixing not know this? But all I could do was say thank you again.

After giving instructions to him, when Zhou Shengchen got up and led people away, he met Xinghua, the niece of Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen.

When she saw Zhou Shengchen, she blushed first and then quickly bowed to him.

After indicating that there was no need to be polite, Zhou Shengchen left on his own. After walking a few steps, he said to Xinghua again: "You are kind-hearted, but even if Liu Zixing is like this, you can't control him."

Xinghua blushed and lowered his head and replied: "I just feel sorry for him and take care of him more."

"Speaking can naturally comfort people, but you must also be careful." After Zhou Shengchen reminded him, he said no more.

Xinghua stood silently for a moment, then walked in with the maid.

Liu Zixing was uncomfortable no matter how much he stayed because half of his body was injured. Seeing Xinghua come in, his expression seemed to be even more painful.

How could Xinghua have predicted that even now, this person would still be thinking about winning the big position and then marrying the legendary talented and beautiful daughter of the Tao family?

"Your Highness will rest in peace and recuperate for now. With the forgiveness of Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Regent, you can still be free," Xinghua said comfortingly.

She really loved him, even now that Liu Zixing was disabled and still imprisoned. But Liu Zixing could only sigh and wanted to use her as a stepping stone.

After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Zixing said slowly: "I was innocently injured and humiliated. How can I not remember it in my heart?"

Seeing him gritting his teeth as he spoke, Xinghua couldn't help but feel in love with Wujiwu because she felt sorry for him.

"Your Highness, stop talking nonsense, just rest." Xinghua reminded in a low voice.

Nodding, Liu Zixing remembered and asked in a low voice about the current situation of the emperor and the queen mother. Knowing that the two of them handled government affairs in a disciplined manner and seemed to have eliminated their previous resentment, Liu Zixing smiled crookedly.

Seeing his look, Xinghua knew that he still refused to give up, so he could only persuade him again: "The regent has not punished him too much, so you should cherish it and stop thinking too much."

Liu Zixing couldn't help frowning after hearing this. Xinghua saw it and his heart trembled slightly: driven by the desire for power, people are really reckless.

Just as she was about to persuade her again, she suddenly heard the voice of the chamberlain coming from the door: "Your Majesty has arrived——!"

Liu Zixing, who didn't know whether it was good or bad, had no choice but to sit up straight and Xinghua fell on the ground to greet him.

The little emperor Liu Hui walked into the room and immediately said "no courtesy" and walked quickly closer. Sitting next to Liu Zixing, he asked: "Brother Wang, are you feeling better?"

Liu Zixing said feebly: "I will risk my life for Your Majesty! It's a pity that I was criticized for my previous mistakes."

"It's all in the past, Brother Wang, there's no need to mention it again." Seeing his injured body and sad and angry expression, Liu Hui's eyes turned red and he quickly advised.

"Without the opportunity to serve His Majesty anymore, I can only look forward to repaying His grace in the next life!" Liu Zixing said with difficulty.

Liu Hui couldn't help but burst into tears. He raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes: "Brother Wang, just take good care of yourself. I understand your heart."

"It's just that I feel more ashamed to be worthy of His Highness the Regent." Liu Zixing insisted, coughing a few times.

His body was already weak, and with a few stab wounds at this time, he would naturally need to add a few more words.

Liu Hui quickly comforted him: "Uncle Huang didn't blame you too much. Before he left, he also specially asked me to treat you well."

Liu Zixing thanked him first, but was suddenly surprised when he heard: "Where is the Prince Regent?"

"Oh, we received another urgent military report, saying that there might be an accident in Daizhou and Taiyuan County. The emperor's uncle said goodbye to me and the Queen Mother, and immediately went to check with his elite troops." Liu Hui said.

Liu Zixing suddenly felt relieved and secretly rejoiced that he would be able to use his fists again. But he couldn't show it, so he looked tired and sighed.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Liu Hui had no choice but to give him a few more instructions. Seeing that Xinghua was always with him, Liu Hui said again: "Princess Xinghua, if you have time, you can come and spend more time with him."

Xinghua blushed and nodded in agreement, saying only, "I'll come if I have time, I'm just worried about the inconvenience."

"Don't worry, I will tell the generals of the Imperial Guard guarding the door to allow you to come over at will." After Liu Hui said this, he immediately ordered the servants and others to take good care of Liu Zixing. After everything was arranged, the little emperor left with peace of mind.

Xinghua bid farewell to the emperor and came back to sit next to Liu Zixing to comfort him, but he always found him absent-minded. How could she know with her kindness that Liu Zixing was already secretly planning how to make a comeback because he heard that King Xiao Nanchen was leaving with his troops.

The two of them talked incessantly. Xinghua guessed that he was tired, so he retired to the harem first.

Liu Zixing was indeed exhausted because his brain was tired and his body was injured, so he fell asleep. While he was sleeping in a daze, he relied on his sixth sense and felt that there was someone around him.
