Chapter 163 The truth behind Su Chenan’s pursuit(1/2)
In order to kill Su Lixiao, the fifth prince, Su Chenan, did not hesitate to call on a thousand soldiers under the name of the royal family.
But this incident finally alarmed His Majesty.
During this period, His Majesty has been waiting for Su Lixiao, who is in Lijing, to give him news, but before he waited for the news of Su Lixiao's healing, he discovered the wrong plot of the fifth prince Su Chenan.
"Shu Chen'an, please explain to me what this means? Don't tell me, you don't know what you have done!"
His Majesty stood on the high platform and threw the news he received in front of Su Chen'an.
"…"
Su Chen'an thought that he would take risks and call on a thousand troops under his command would be found out.
But he didn't expect that this matter would be discovered so soon.
"Father, son can explain."
Su Chenan tried hard to restrain the panic in his heart, pretending to be calm and looked at His Majesty.
"Explanation? Su Chen'an, Gu wants to take a good look at how you are going to explain to me!"
"The prince privately called people outside the capital, and he was accused of rebellion. Su Chen'an, are you old now? I wonder what kind of ambitions you have?"
His Majesty looked at the fifth prince kneeling on His Highness, and his eyebrows were filled with coldness.
"Shu Chen'an, have you forgotten that before Gu became this emperor, he was also a prince. What would a prince do? Do you think Gu doesn't know in his heart?"
All emperors have gone from princes step by step to today.
In His Majesty's eyes, the Fifth Prince's every move is actually unblocked.
"Gu was once a prince, Su Chen'an. Gu knew that every prince had thought about the throne, but I will tell you clearly here that you are not the most suitable candidate for the throne behind me."
This is the first time that His Majesty made his resolution so clearly to Su Chen'an.
"Of course I know that you are Gu's son, but your best destination in this life is to be a free prince."
"You are the one who shoulders the burden of this family and country. Su Yiting and Su Lixiao are both more suitable for this position than you."
"Shu Chen'an, don't think that you are partial. You just give you the most suitable position."
Although Your Majesty does not like the prince Su Chen'an, Su Chen'an is his son no matter what, so Your Majesty knows nothing about Su Chen'an.
"Why?"
Su Chen'an had prepared all the words, and he was also preparing to lie to His Majesty as Jiang Kuo planned for him.
However, after hearing His Majesty say such heartless words, Su Chen'an suddenly chose to throw away the plans that Jiang Kuo had set for him.
"Father, I am also your son. Su Yiting, the unknown person of his father, can become the person in your heart who deserves to be trusted. Why am I so disliked by you?"
Su Chen stubbornly asked His Majesty on the high platform, as if he had been looking at His Majesty, his father seriously for the first time.
"I don't know what I am inferior to them? Or is my efforts over the years worthless in your eyes, Father?"
Su Chen'an felt wronged.
He has never felt so wronged!
Because he was too frustrated and unwilling to accept his anger, Su Chenan stood up directly from the ground without His Majesty's permission.
He walked step by step towards his father and towards the person who blamed him with a high apology.
"Father, from childhood to adulthood, you first loved Su Lixiao because you were deeply in love with Empress Yuan. Later, Concubine Dong entered the palace and you began to love Su Yiting. I am obviously your prince, yours
The biological son, ordinary people outside the palace, will spoil the youngest son in the family. I am your youngest son, why do you never care about me?"
Su Chen'an couldn't figure it out.
He has never understood why His Majesty was so cold to his son!
His mother, Concubine Jiang, is also one of the four concubines.
The status in this harem is no weaker than that of others.
Su Chen'an sometimes wonders, since his father is willing to promote his mother's position, does that mean that his father's mind has also had the intention of using him?
Such delusions arose in Su Chen'an's heart again and again.
Then it was erased again and again.
Because he saw with his own eyes how his father favored Su Lixiao Su Yiting and others, how could Su Chen pull himself out of his delusion?
"Shu Chen'an, you killed a palace maid when you were very young and threw her into the deep well in the palace. Are you right?"
Seeing that the fifth prince insisted on asking him for a result, His Majesty pondered for a moment, but finally opened his mouth.
"…!”
The moment His Majesty said this, Su Chen'an's eyes widened.
He didn't expect that his Majesty would still remember such a long time ago.
That was his first time to kill someone. No matter how long it took or how many people he had killed, Su Chenan remembered the eyes that the palace maid looked at him before her death.
"Yes, I killed that palace maid, father, do you think I am not worthy just because I killed a palace maid?"
Su Chen'an was shocked that His Majesty knew the truth, and at the same time he was complaining about himself.
"There are many people who died in this harem because of Su Yiting and Su Lixiao. Father, I am not the only one who is covered in blood on my hands. Why do you think it is wrong for me to kill someone?"
This is unfair!
All of this is unfair to him!
Why, as the prince, Su Yi and Ting and Su Lixiao can kill people, but how can he and Su Chen?
"Gu didn't think you shouldn't kill anyone, Su Chen'an, Gu just thought your situation was too small."
Seeing that Su Chenan was at the critical moment, His Majesty still couldn't understand the meaning of his words.
He really doesn't feel suitable to be a crown prince.
"As you said, Su Yiting used to be arrogant and arrogant, and he died because of him, more people than you know."
"As for Su Lixiao, who killed the enemy on the battlefield, over the years, if he really cares about the people he has killed, he may be able to build a city wall if he piles up."
"As a prince, you just killed a palace maid who serves you, and this matter is not worth making a fuss about it."
His Majesty looked at Su Chen'an in front of him and said word by word.
"But you shouldn't do this in person."
"…!”
Su Chen'an's eyes suddenly widened.
"You are the lonely prince, the most noble royal family in this country, and the royal family must have their own dignity."
"That palace maid is not good to you, she deserves to die, but you shouldn't have removed her personally if you don't demote yourself."
"Shu Chen'an, you are the prince. You can call on the people around you to do this. Why do you need to let those blood stain your hands?"
Although Su Chenan is the prince of the royal family, he has never remembered this incident.
So much so that Su Chen'an often does some price reduction.
"Shu Chen'an, you are the orphan son. If you really want to be the crown prince of this country, you must have the ability to dominate others."
"It would be too embarrassing if a person in the royal family went to kill someone in person!"
"Shu Chen'an, if one day I will grant you the crown prince, or if you sit in the position of the orphan after a hundred years, will you have to kill the unhappy minister at that time?"
His Majesty looked at Su Chenan who was so close to him, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
"As a prince, you have to know that every word and action you have many eyes watching behind your back."
"Although Gu doesn't like your mother very much, and letting him enter the palace to serve him was to balance the court, but you are not an ordinary person, you are the son of Gu."
"I didn't give up on you from the beginning, Su Chen'an."
Su Chen'an was directly set on the spot because of His Majesty's words.
What he had been depressed in his heart for so many years, and today he finally found the answer to his father.
However, this answer is not what he wants at all.
"Father, are you not giving me a second chance just because I executed that palace maid with my own hands?"
Su Chen'an was still dissatisfied.
Why?
"I was just a child at the beginning. Father, you don't appreciate a child who killed adults. You only deny it. I can't accept it!"
In Su Chen'an's opinion, he can use his own strength to kill those who despise him at a young age.
This incident itself is commendable.
Because it is not easy for a child to kill a palace maid.
"Shu Chen'an, you are really a tidy person and will never be able to tell clearly."
His Majesty looked at Su Chenan, who was still worried about this matter, and there was a little more sympathy in his eyes.
