Chapter 757: Chapter 756: Keep Your Words to Yourself!_1

Unlike other children who cling to their mothers asking for sweets, he is burdened with the affairs of state, having to cater to the whims of numerous ministers...

They underestimate him because he is young, unaware that he has all their actions and intentions in view.

He can discern who is being perfunctory and who genuinely cares for him. He keeps it all in mind.

"Your Majesty, you must not speak like this."

Su Pan’er interjected quickly, looking around before lowering her voice to continue.

"Your Majesty, Young Mister Qin staged a forceful coup that precipitated the late emperor’s passing. Even though he now sits on the throne, his position remains unstable and he doesn’t have popular support. You must not indulge in such defeative talk."

"I am not being defeatist. I am merely stating the hard truth."

Qin Feimo candidly threw down the chopsticks in his hands, wiped his face, and sighed, "I do not understand state affairs. Each time I encounter a challenge, the Prince Regent would have worked out a solution before presenting it to me. I don’t feel like an emperor, but rather a failure, even a puppet."

The more he spoke, the more agitated he got!

"Your Majesty!"

Su Pan’er called in a grave tone.

After a pause, she continued, "Your Majesty, you must never utter these words again. You are the crown prince, personally appointed by the late emperor. Your ascension to the throne is in accordance with Divine Will. You didn’t say anything today, and I didn’t hear anything."

It seemed that Qin Feimo realized he had said things he shouldn’t have, and quickly bit his lip.

"I’ll say what I want, just you watch!"

A moment later, he spoke again somewhat dispiritedly, "I know the Regent has it tough, and I know I shouldn’t be venting like this. But during ordinary days, I can hardly express my feelings to anyone. My Empress Mother, she doesn’t allow me to speak half a word, but she never asks me if I want to be Emperor..."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what I said to you last time? Since birth, everyone has their own mission to fulfill. As a descendant of the Imperial Family, while you enjoy the boundless wealth, you also have to make certain sacrifices. In this world, there is no such thing as reaping without sowing. It depends on what you give up in exchange!"

Su Pan’er tirelessly tried to dissuade him.

"Sister Pan’er, please stop. I understand the logic. I just... just want to talk to you heart to heart. I have so many thoughts bottled up inside, with no one to share them with. It’s driving me crazy!"

As Qin Feimo spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing him like this also stirred something within Su Pan’er making it impossible for her to turn him away.

"Sister Pan’er, tell me..."

Qin Feimo’s lips trembled greatly, he blurted out with a pallid face: "Tell me, the Empress Mother and the Prince Regent, if they..."

"Fei’er!"

Su Pan’er cut him off.

She quickly rose, peeked outside, then hurried back: "This is not something you should be talking about!"

Qin Feimo slumped his head in despondency.

"Keep this matter to yourself. If anyone dares to spread rumors, they should all be executed without mercy!"

Seeing him in such state, Su Pan’er softened her tone: "If you truly were not the late emperor’s child, how could he have tolerated you? Think about it, does it not make sense?"

Qin Feimo clenched his lips, remaining silent.

"Weren’t these rumors only circulating after the late emperor’s passing and your ascent to the throne? Look, they’re not underestimating you because of your age, instead they want you to believe in these rumors, to demoralize and then unseat you. Look at what you’re doing- messing up your lines, causing joy to your enemies and pain to your family. Isn’t it so?"

As Su Pan’er spoke, she sighed again: "As the Emperor, you should understand these principles. Right now, you’re just temporarily blinded by the wicked..."

"No!"

Qin Feimo abruptly interrupted.

"What’s not?"

Su Pan’er was not quite able to fathom.

Qin Feimo’s eyes reddened instantly, quickly turning his head to the side: "That day, I overheard a conversation between the Empress Mother and Nanny Shen. They said... I am indeed... not..."

Su Pan’er quickly covered Qin Feimo’s mouth, preventing him from uttering anything more.

Her entire body spasmed uncontrollably. Her heart was racing wildly, threatening to leap out of her chest!

If she heard the rest of that, even if she wanted to live, it would be a capital offense!

"If you still want Sister Pan’er to live, keep this to yourself. Even if someone were to beat you to death, don’t speak a word about it. Can you do it?"

"Sister Pan’er, rest assured."

Qin Feimo forced out a smile more hideous than crying: "Today I simply had dinner with you, and we didn’t talk about anything..."

"Your Majesty, originally you didn’t say anything!"

Su Pan’er emphasized once again.

She swiftly rose, adjusting her skirt and kneeling before the Emperor: "Your Majesty, it’s getting late. I should leave the Palace. I wouldn’t want to keep Marquis Zhenguo waiting."

"Yes, go ahead."

Qin Feimo kept his gaze downwards, not looking up: "You came in such a rush, and now you’re leaving again. I miss those times when our meetings were short but filled with joy and warmth..."

Su Pan’er listened in silence, contemplating. In the end, she could not resist. She reached into her bosom and pulled out a jade bottle, handing it to Qin Feimo.

"This is a divine antidote that can counteract up to one hundred lethal poisons. Due to its inherent side effects, only use it in emergencies. Instructions for dosage and application are written on a small piece of paper inside the bottle. I... I should get going."

Having said that, she looked once at Qin Feimo who was still staring blankly at the jade bottle, then decisively turned and left the side palace hall.

As she passed through the gate, she couldn’t resist glancing back.

Looking at the figure of the ten-year-old boy, still curled up sitting there motionless, his silhouette so forlorn, so pitiful.

Su Pan’er could not help but sigh, turning her head she managed a small smile towards Eunuch Hao.

"His Majesty said he wants to be alone for a while, do not disturb him."

Eunuch Hao smiled in response, instructing two Eunuchs to escort Su Pan’er out of the palace in a sedan chair.

Qin Feimo overheard Su Pan’er’s considerate instructions. He managed a bitter smile to himself, quietly putting away the jade bottle. He picked his chopsticks back up, starting in again on the untouched cuisine, as he silently wiped away the tears.

It was only when his stomach was stuffed full, he wiped away his tears, lifted his head, put away his sorrow, and slipped back into the role of His Majesty.

Thinking back on Sister Pan’er’s earlier advice, Qin Feimo couldn’t help but feel guilty for resenting his Empress Mother due to recent events.

He hastily summoned a sedan chair, brought along just Eunuch Hao and braved the snowstorm to visit the Empress Dowager at the Yangxin Palace.

Unexpectedly, this visit led to quite a commotion.
