Chu Mo glanced at the Emperor, speechless. He pursed his lips and said, "Shen Xingxue."
"Nonsense!" The Emperor knew that Chu Mo was being perfunctory. He couldn't help but sigh. "It has been almost a thousand years since the founding of Da Xia. The sects are too powerful. I know this. My ancestors have known this for a long time. That's why I've always maintained a close relationship with the sect, and at the same time, I've been secretly vigilant. "
"But I never thought that the people from the sects would be so unbridled!" A hint of anger flashed in the Emperor's eyes. At the same time, there seemed to be some regret. What he didn't know was that the unscrupulous person from the sect he was talking about had met Chu Mo before. He also didn't know that the powerful and domineering woman had been chased away by Chu Mo.
Chu Mo maintained his silence in the face of the Emperor's mutterings. He had no interest in getting involved in the affairs of the royal family.
"Actually, I know that Xia Xiong has looked for you," the Emperor suddenly said.
Chu Mo was slightly stunned. Then he smiled. "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Wise what? Is a wise son smart enough? " A self-mocking smile appeared on the Emperor's face. Then he said, "Actually, I have always known that Xia Xiong is smarter than Xia Ying!"
Chu Mo nodded.
The Emperor stopped and looked at Chu Mo. "But I... don't want him to be the Crown Prince!"
The corner of Chu Mo's mouth twitched. "I'm young and don't know anything. Your Majesty... shouldn't be telling me this, right? "
"Then who can I tell?" A hint of loneliness suddenly flashed in the Emperor's eyes. He said softly, "I... can I tell Grand Secretary Xu? Or can I tell Marshal Fang? Or... can I tell the court officials? "
"Your Majesty, who you appoint as the Crown Prince is a private matter of the royal family..." Chu Mo said.
"You're wrong. This is not a private matter. This is a national affair that concerns the entire Da Xia! "The Emperor interrupted Chu Mo and sighed.
"This tone … should be the tone of the ministers in the court, right?" Chu Mo looked at the emperor with some doubt.
The Emperor couldn't help but laugh, "You little brat … You still say that you're young and don't know anything? It was true that the appointment of the Crown Prince seemed to be a private matter of the royal family, but the courtiers were not wrong. This was indeed a matter that concerned the future of Da Xia. Xia Xiong was smart and wise enough. He was also low-key and tolerant enough. After so many years, I have never felt that he had any interest in this position. He was willing to hide behind Xia Ying. Other than a handful of people, almost no one knew how smart he was. Furthermore, no one knows that Xia Ying's reputation among the people is so high. More than seventy percent of it is because of him. "
Chu Mo remained silent. In fact, he wanted to ask, "Since this is the case, why doesn't the Emperor want to appoint him as the Crown Prince? Does the Emperor want Xia Ying to continue being the Crown Prince?
This possibility was simply too minuscule. Even if the Emperor wanted to do so, the people in the world would not agree to let an incomplete person become their monarch. This in itself was a very bad omen!
"However, he lacks the aura of a monarch descending upon the world." The Emperor did not wait for Chu Mo to ask and took the initiative to explain, "Xia Ying has this temperament, but Xia Xiong … Perhaps he used to have it, but now, it is gone."
Chu Mo was silent. The Emperor was right. Xia Xiong had been hiding behind Xia Ying for too many years.
"When I was still the Crown Prince, Xia Jing … had been hiding behind me and helping me deal with all kinds of troublesome matters. He gave me advice. I didn't even think about many things as thoroughly as he did, and I needed him to remind me from time to time. " There was a touch of reminiscence in the Emperor's eyes, and then he said softly, "So, many people say that Xia Jing and I are brothers, which is a rare scene in the royal family. These years, some people say that the relationship between Xia Xiong and Xia Ying is like that between me and Xia Jing in the past …"
A complicated and indescribable expression appeared on the Emperor's face. "Actually, it's just that my luck … is better than Xia Ying's! When I was the Crown Prince, I didn't encounter such a thing. "
Chu Mo glanced at the Emperor. From his sad and angry face, it could be seen that the Emperor hated the woman in the Fairy Realm to the bone. At the same time, the Emperor was also very sad about what had happened to Xia Ying!
In other words, before Xia Ying's accident, the Emperor had suppressed Xia Ying a little. But that was just a warning from a father to his son. Changing the Crown Prince was something that the Emperor had never thought about!
Xia Xiong … He was too smart for his own good!
Chu Mo thought to himself, "If Xia Xiong didn't rush to do anything, but took care of Xia Ying honestly, the result … would probably be different."
The Emperor heaved a long sigh and said, "Chu Mo, I know that you have an incomparably powerful master behind you. I also know that you have unlimited potential. I … want to ask you for a favor. "
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite. Just tell me what it is, Your Majesty," Chu Mo said.
"Okay, I want to ask you. If one day, you can grow into a legendary Innate Expert, please protect Da Xia." As the Emperor spoke, he actually bowed to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was shocked and hurriedly bowed back. "Your Majesty, you are flattering me. If that day really comes, I will definitely protect Da Xia. After all, this is my motherland. However, Your Majesty, don't you know that once you reach the Innate Realm, you will have to break the void and leave this world? "
The Emperor nodded. "Of course I know that, but a Innate Expert can do a lot of things before he leaves." A cold murderous intent flashed through the Emperor's eyes. Although he didn't continue, Chu Mo understood what he was trying to say.
It seemed that the Crown Prince Xia Ying's experience this time had made the Emperor hate the strength of some sects to the bone.
Chu Mo was silent for a moment and then said, "This matter … is still early. If that day really comes, I believe that there will be a good solution."
The Emperor nodded and smiled. "Then I will take it as a promise! You can rest assured that from now on, I will not interfere with anything and everything related to you! "
From the beginning to the end, the Emperor didn't mention the matter of Miao Yiniang. But what he said just now was almost equivalent to the Emperor of a country apologizing to Chu Mo!
Chu Mo glanced at the Emperor and nodded. Then he said, "Let's go to see that senior."
The Emperor's expression became a little heavy. He said softly, "Senior Tantai's injury … is a little serious. If it can be cured, no matter what medicinal materials are needed, I … will do my best!"
Chu Mo nodded. "Your Majesty, don't worry."
Then, they walked for a long time and were blocked by a huge stone door.
