Chapter 439: The Coldest Heart Is the Human Heart
He believed that whether as an Emperor or as a father, he had done his best. But why, in the end, was this still the result?
Is the throne really above everything else?
"Brother, the past is past. In the future, everything will get better." Su Yaogeng didn’t know what else to say. The world is sometimes like this; just because you give doesn’t mean you’ll get something in return. There are so many people who are ungrateful, repaying kindness with enmity.
The human heart is the coldest thing in this world.
Yet, simultaneously, it is the warmest.
The Emperor sighed: "Enough, enough. I am too greedy, always hoping that everything can go as I wish. The children have grown up; I can’t control them anymore, can’t control them!"
"What is Brother saying? Aren’t there still the second, third, fourth, and fifth ones? They are still quite filial, and there are also those princesses. Let them come and spend time with you more often." Su Yaogeng consoled.
"Speaking of the third one..." The Emperor sighed again, "He grew up following behind the eldest, and he’s the closest to him. Fortunately, this time, he didn’t get muddled and follow the eldest. It’s just that this capital city... sigh, let him return to his fiefdom, never to return to the capital without an edict. If only back then..."
The Emperor waved his hand, not continuing the thought.
If only back then, he had peacefully married Jing’er, how could he now be filled with such deep regret.
"Brother, don’t worry about these things for now. Handle the aftermath of the war first, and only then deal with these matters." After the war in the capital, it would inevitably cause panic among the people. Although the war is over, there are still issues regarding the disposition of the soldiers who followed Prince An in rebellion, and the comforting of the wounded, with many things needing to be settled.
How to handle the Crown Prince’s faction is not urgent. This time, the Crown Prince acted hastily, and the ministers who initially stood by him are now being quite obedient and did not participate in ****.
Therefore, how these people should be dealt with still needs to be discussed with the ministers, and it will not be too late to handle it later.
"The most important thing right now is for you to take care of your health. You haven’t been able to rest well these days. Now that the major affairs are over, you should take a good rest." Su Yaogeng instructed the eunuch beside him: "When the Imperial Physician arrives later, have him prescribe some calming medicine."
The eunuch quickly responded.
As they were speaking, the Imperial Physician arrived. Su Yaogeng had been staying in the palace for a few days and should go back to have a look. She was indeed worried about Jing’er, not knowing if she had caused any trouble during the two days of war.
Now there was nothing going on in the palace, so she bid farewell and went to the Prince Yu Mansion to see Han Jing.
Upon learning that Han Jing was fine and seeing Su Yu at the mansion, Han Jing looked radiant, which allowed her to return to the Princess Mansion at ease.
As for the outside world, it had nothing to do with Han Jing anymore. After all, her goal had been achieved. Now that everything had settled, she had nothing to worry about.
She could now focus on learning how to cultivate telekinesis with Su Yu.
After practicing for a few days, she found it extremely beneficial. Han Jing suddenly felt, with such a good cultivation method, learning it by herself would be too selfish, wouldn’t it?
Han Jing thought about it; she should bring An’an and her Mother to learn together. Otherwise, what a waste!
That day, early in the morning, Han Jing began to smile at Su Yu.
