Capítulo 1688: Chapter 52: The Monarch
Chen Dingye squatted down, extended his hand, and stroked his son’s hair, saying: “Mother is just a bit tired, it’s nothing serious, you must understand her.”
Chen Tianyi nodded forcefully, held onto Chen Dingye’s arm, and said: “If I behave well, will you keep playing with , Father Emperor?! You’ve been so busy lately, it takes a long, long ti for you to co play with even once.”
Chen Dingye looked at the child, smiled faintly, and said: “Alright, however, father has one more thing to do. Once it’s all done, then there will be nothing difficult left, and then I can continue to accompany you.”
Chen Tianyi was overjoyed: “Okay!!!”
Chen Tianyi reached out his finger and said: “Then let’s make a promise!”
“A promise?”
“Mmm, mmm, it’s what mother said, what the children of commoners say when they were little.” Chen Dingye smiled slightly, extended his hand to press against his son’s hand, listening to the child speak his innocent and naive vows.
“So, dad, you must co play with .”
“You, you must have been too busy usually, for your hair to turn white so quickly, when you stay with , I’ll take you during the day to see the flowers, and see the ducklings swim in the water, at night we’ll watch the stars and tell stories.”
“Your hair will quickly turn black.”
Chen Tianyi let go of his hand, Chen Dingye half-knelt down, stretched out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles on Chen Tianyi’s collar, smiling as he said: “Hmm, then you can go find your brother.”
“Brother?”
“Mm.”
Chen Dingye said, “He… heh heh, when the ti cos, you will know.”
Chen Tianyi was bewildered, Chen Dingye hugged Chen Tianyi, his finger suddenly lifted, pressing on the major acupoint on Chen Tianyi’s neck, Empress Xue’s face changed dramatically, she struggled free from restraints, threw herself towards her own child, but was intimidated by a strong and imposing aura.
Ripples appeared in the void, and Dharma Form erged.
A fierce tiger with wings grew behind, that was the hidden bloodline of the Qiongqi in the Chen Family’s blood, yet in the void, a unicorn dragon appeared, its cold gaze overlooking this place.
The intensity of the Qi chanism was so strong that it forced Empress Xue not to advance one bit.
She rely looked fearfully at her own child, resenting herself for not listening to her father’s arrangents in ti, still thinking she could wait a little longer, Chen Dingye seed not to hear Empress Xue’s actions, gently holding his son close, the power of Dharma Form sweeping across the Primordial Spirit.
Initially, Chen Tianyi was happy being lifted high by his father.
But suddenly he grew tired, he hugged Chen Dingye’s white hair and neck in one hand, rubbed his eyes with the other, saying: “Father, I’m so sleepy…”
“Sleepy? If you’re sleepy then rest well.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Why?”
“Because you always do this, once I close my eyes, then you’re gone. You take so long to co back!” Chen Tianyi threw a tantrum, Chen Dingye smiled and said: “This ti, father won’t go anywhere.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true.”
“Pinkie swear!”

“Alright, pinkie swear, if it doesn’t happen, let Chen Dingye die with no burial place…” Chen Dingye watched the child slowly close his eyes, the wind brushing past his hair, such an innocent child, with such soft thoughts.
Yet such a soft child made Chen Dingye suddenly recall the rain in his youth.
A torrential rain, the Prince kneeling in the palace, just for a minor mistake made by a eunuch, surrounded by all the royal kin and noble elders, sighing that this child is too soft.
Chen Dingye looked at his son, but in a trance returned to his youth, as if seeing a young boy kneeling in the pouring rain, his face tender, for a long ti seeming to hear his father’s inquiry:
“In such a state, what exactly do you want to achieve!”
“The Prince’s dignity, the royal family’s thods, are all lost?!?”
“What can you achieve in the future? Can’t be a General, can’t be a Marquess, what can you beco?”
The thirteen-year-old boy pursed his lips, defiantly responding:
“Beco a good person.”
Chen Dingye quietly observed the young boy in the pouring rain, his emotions deep and complex, carrying a serene compassion, this fleeting trance in his heart, he wiped away Chen Tianyi’s mory with his martial prowess.
Chen Tianyi finally slept.
His eyes reflecting the last glimpse of his father’s silhouette.
“After today, you will still welco a new day, only after today, you will not rember ever having, this father…”
“Heh, since am an incompetent ruler, allow this as a father.”
“Also not so dutiful.”
“I’ll only be a father who breaks promises and faith.”
Chen Dingye delivered the child he held to Empress Xue, who seized it fiercely, Empress Xue’s body trembled, but Chen Dingye just extended a finger, gently tucking his son’s hair behind his ear.
Turning and striding away, only when walking did his steps pause, glancing sideways, saw that white-bearded, ethereally elegant Ritual Eunuch still at his side, Chen Dingye said: “Are you still following ?”
Ritual Eunuch said: “From ancient tis, inept rulers always have flatterers.”
“You are heading to the battlefield ahead, how can a servant not be by your side?”
Chen Dingye laughed out loud:
“Hahaha, what an inept ruler, what a flatterer!”
“Good!”
The deep, grim roars of the venomous dragon and Qiongqi, Chen Dingye laughed aloud: “People of our ti, having co this far, can’t complain much, yet, this is also the foundation of our ancestors, it’s the domain of our Great Chen!”
“How could it be handed over to others!”
“The world is tumultuous, heroes vying for control, those loyal ministers are gone, can I Chen not die for the country? Not offer for the state?!”
The Emperor Chen grasped the sword, walked with composure.
“[I], shall also fight to the end.”
