Chapter 571 Having trouble sleeping and eating
Qin Luoshen had always known that once Chen Er embarked on this journey, he would never stop. Chen Er carried a responsibility to help the people and achieve greater benefits. Qin Luoshen sighed.
"Chen Er, have you thought this through or is this just a passing fancy? I don't want you to miss your life in the court when we're at the ends of the earth together." Qin Luoshen's words made Chen Er smile bitterly.
"I've made up my mind. This isn't the life I want. And Zhang Shaoqing's death has hit me so hard that I don't want to stay here any longer. I won't stop until I avenge Zhang Shaoqing."
"I would lose my appetite and sleep, and now I even have nightmares." Chen Er was speaking from the heart; he felt that he had no energy to use at all.
Unable to help Zhang Shaoqing uphold justice, Chen Er felt he had lost all authority in the court, so he originally planned to leave after seeing Zhang Xingchen again.
However, Zhang Xingchen has been protecting him more and more lately, even when he goes out he is accompanied by dozens of guards, and Chen Er is simply willing but unable to help.
After hearing Chen Er's account, Qin Luoshen expressed her strong support for Chen Er.
"Chen Er, no matter what choice you make, no matter what your identity or status is, even if you are a beggar, I will stay with you until the end and never repent."
Qin Luoshen looked so beautiful when she was serious. Chen Er immediately pinned her down on the bed and began to pamper her.
Half an hour passed, and Chen Er lazily walked out of the room. Chen Er wanted to say goodbye to the Emperor; he really didn't want to stay here any longer.
It felt like every time Chen Er was here, it only made him more irritable. When the emperor heard Chen Er's words in the imperial court, he was immediately taken aback.
The Emperor was also surprised that Chen Er left so suddenly, without any warning: "Chen Er, have you thought this through? Zhang Shaoqing has just been buried and you haven't even avenged him yet, and you're leaving like this."
"Would you be considered a deserter?" the Emperor asked Chen Er earnestly.
Chen Erzai thought about it carefully for a moment, then sighed: "I have always been a deserter because too many things have happened here that have hurt me."
I don't want to stay here any longer. I feel there's no future here, and it only reminds me of the sad things from the past. So I dare to beg Your Majesty to give me this chance to desert."
Chen Er's words made it even more difficult for the emperor to respond. The reason why the emperor was still so confident and calm was because Chen Er was still alive, so now Chen Er chose to leave him.
The emperor felt as if he had lost his left and right arms, and it was extremely difficult for him to find someone who would genuinely help him.
"Chen Er, are you sure you want to leave? But what about me? I'm risking everything here, and I have absolutely no way to deal with the Empress Dowager."
The emperor's voice trembled. He could hardly continue thinking about what fate awaited him if Chen Er left him.
Perhaps he no longer has control over his own imperial guards, and perhaps he should be the one imprisoned. What's even more ridiculous is that the emperor once fantasized about banishing the Empress Dowager to the cold palace.
It seems that all of this was just his unrealistic fantasy. Chen Er had no way to comfort him because of the emperor's attitude.
"Your Majesty, just remember my words: make a decisive decision. You must believe in your own abilities to support the entire Ming Dynasty. Don't be fooled by how fierce the Empress Dowager is to you now."
However, you are still mother and son after all. I believe that although the Empress Dowager is ultimately the victor, she won't do anything to you.
Chen Er spoke his mind. He had spent a long time analyzing the situation in his study yesterday and finally came to this conclusion: the Empress Dowager had ultimately defeated the Emperor.
It's estimated that they would only remove the emperor from his position, but Chen Er finds it hard to imagine that anyone else would continue to be emperor. If it were Wei Zhongxian, then the Ming Dynasty would have to undergo reform and change.
Chen Erran then remembered what Ma Tiantao had told him last time: Ma Tiantao had found a dragon robe in Wei Zhongxian's wardrobe, and it was a custom-made one. Chen Erran once again told the Emperor about this.
"You must be careful of Wei Zhongxian. A friend of mine found a dragon robe made by Wei Zhongxian in his study, which shows his ambition." Chen Er's words made the emperor tremble involuntarily.
Everyone knows Wei Zhongxian's ambition, but no one expected him to be so audacious as to keep a dragon robe in his wardrobe.
It was obvious that Wei Zhongxian wanted to replace the emperor and control the entire Ming Dynasty: "This is absolutely unacceptable. This country was built by our ancestors with great difficulty."
"If this is ruined in my hands, how will I face my ancestors when I die?" The emperor's fists clenched involuntarily.
The emperor suddenly thought of Zhao Beixing.
“Your Majesty, if you were so confident in Zhao Beixing, you wouldn’t have asked me. So you still have doubts about Zhao Beixing, which is why you asked me for my opinion.”
After Chen Er finished speaking, he paused for a moment to think about what kind of person Zhao Beixing was. Although Zhao Beixing had changed a lot since returning from the Jiangnan area, he was no longer as unreliable as before.
However, if Chen Er wanted Zhao Beixing to completely side with the Emperor and join forces against Wei Zhongxian, he felt that it was still a bit too difficult to achieve.
Don't be fooled by Zhao Beixing's seemingly honest appearance. Who can say for sure whether Zhao Beixing will get involved with Wei Zhongxian? Chen Er finally spoke up.
"You can only believe half of what Zhao Beixing says, or even only a small part. Zhao Beixing is not a simple man; he may eventually join forces with Wei Zhongxian to oppose you." Chen Er's words further disoriented the emperor.
"Chen Er, I can agree to any conditions you want. I just hope you will never leave my side. Otherwise, I will really have a hard time continuing to support the Ming Dynasty. You don't want to see our Ming Dynasty."
It's fallen into the hands of a traitorous dog.
Although the emperor tried desperately to persuade him to stay, Chen Er had already made up his mind.
"Would he change his mind because of the Emperor's words?" Chen Er could only sigh.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my selfishness. I really don't want to stay in the court for even a second longer. I'll just leave and become a deserter," Chen Er said suddenly, thinking of Qin Zhongting.
