Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 995 My Heart Is Dead

The meaning of "安德禄" is actually quite simple.

The emperor is dying, and he will eventually have to pass the throne to his son.

Although the emperor has many sons, Lu Beimo is the only one who has the best chance of succeeding him.

At this point, the Emperor's desire for Prince Mo to hand over military power was merely a way for Prince Mo to demonstrate his loyalty.

Even if it is returned, it will be given back to Prince Mo before long.

However, this would mean that the Emperor would completely trust Prince Mo, which might not be a bad thing.

"Your Highness, if you have any doubts about the Emperor's health, you can consult the imperial physician."

An Delu knew that what he said was treasonous, but he really didn't want any more trouble between Prince Mo and the Emperor.

They are father and son, and they can actually get along very well, can't they?

Lu Beimo smiled calmly: "Eunuch An, I know you mean well for me, and I know your intentions are indeed good."

“Then…” Hope ignited in An Delu’s eyes.

Lu Beimo looked up at the distant horizon and sighed softly.

"Eunuch An, my heart is dead."

"Your Majesty..."

Before An Delu could finish speaking, Lu Beimo had already turned around and walked towards the Hall of Diligent Governance.

An Delu felt a heavy weight in his heart and quickly caught up with him: "Your Highness, I know that the Emperor's actions have indeed saddened you, but..."

"Eunuch An, I feel very reassured with you by my father's side." Lu Beimo quickened his pace.

An Delu was almost out of reach, so he could only jog after him, calling out, "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Lu Beimo ignored him.

Upon entering the Hall of Diligent Governance, he found himself surrounded by guards. Although An Delu still had things to say, he dared not utter another word.

My heart is dead...

King Mo's words filled Andelu with indescribable despair.

But one could also hear the despair in the prince's heart.

They are father and son!

Why did it turn out like this?

The emperor was still drinking tea, not yet resting.

It's because I'm not feeling well, so I need to drink some strong tea to keep myself awake.

When Lu Beimo entered the room, the first thing he saw was his aged appearance, and he felt a pang of sadness.

Father is truly old, very old.

However, he never had anyone he could completely trust, except for Andro, who had been by his side for decades.

In the end, a ruler of a country can only trust one lackey.

He had more than a dozen sons, but none of them could put his mind at ease.

Isn't this a sad thing?

"Greetings, Father Emperor." Lu Beimo bowed respectfully.

"Sit down and let's talk," the Emperor waved his hand.

The young eunuch immediately moved the chair into the room, not far from the emperor.

Afterwards, Andelu dismissed all the eunuchs who were serving him and ordered the guards to stand watch in the courtyard.

The Emperor looked at Lu Beimo.

Lu Beimo sat quietly, not saying a word, completely composed.

He remained silent for as long as the Emperor had been silent, never uttering a word.

Finally, it was the Emperor who couldn't hold back any longer: "Aren't you curious about what I have to say to you?"

Lu Beimo immediately asked, "What does Father Emperor wish to say to his son?"

The Emperor and An Delu exchanged glances. The Emperor was almost angered, but An Delu knew why Prince Mo was acting this way and could only sigh softly.

"Your Majesty, you are not feeling well. After you have finished speaking with the Prince, you should rest early."

An Delu knew the Emperor's condition best, and he said softly, "It's getting late."
