Chapter 724: Chapter 725 Are You Here to Give Your Last Words?_1 Chapter 724: Chapter 725 Are You Here to Give Your Last Words?_1 Under the persistent pleading of the Emperor of Xiyun, ultimately, An Jing and Xiao Changyi agreed to let Su Yi Jing sleep with the Emperor of Xiyun for these few nights.
Originally, Xiao Changyi had ng Zhuqing add two more rooms to his courtyard, intending to provide them for the children when they grew up. Now that the Emperor of Xiyun had arrived, Xiao Changyi cleaned out a room for him.
The Emperor of Xiyun sat at the table, holding Su Yi Jing, and when he saw Xiao Changyi spreading out the bedding, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Yi Er, Chengyu said when he visited you, you only made up a simple bed for him. Now that I have a proper bed to sleep in, he’ll definitely be extrely jealous if he finds out.”
Xiao Changyi didn’t even glance at the Emperor of Xiyun, continuing his work on the bed and casually replied, “If you don’t tell him, how would he be jealous?”
The Emperor of Xiyun imdiately said, “Why wouldn’t I tell him about such good news? I want him to be jealous, to know you treat better than him.”
Xiao Changyi remained silent. No, he was speechless.
After quietly watching Xiao Changyi make the bed for a while, the Emperor of Xiyun suddenly grew sentintal, “You and Jingjing live too far from the Imperial Capital. Even if I just want to co see you, it’s truly inconvenient.”
Xiao Changyi still didn’t speak.
Seeing that Xiao Changyi wasn’t paying him any attention, the Emperor of Xiyun, as usual, didn’t mind it and continued to express his feelings, “Initially, I didn’t want Chengyu to co. I wanted to co alone, to see you as much as possible, but as an emperor, I cannot leave the Capital lightly, and my health is deteriorating day by day. I can hardly endure the long journey on horseback. This visit to your ho is my first ti.” He paused, “And it should also be the last ti.”
Xiao Changyi’s throat suddenly tightened, but he still remained silent, his expression unchanged.
“I know you dislike life in the Capital, and I won’t force you to do anything.” No longer sentintal, the Emperor of Xiyun smiled. “I just hope that when you learn of my impending passing, you’ll make haste to the Capital to see one last ti. That would leave completely content and without regrets.”
Xiao Changyi still didn’t react.
The Emperor of Xiyun continued to smile, “With you protecting Chengyu, I would have nothing to worry about even after my death. So I won’t tell you to look after him then.”
Finally, Xiao Changyi spoke, but his words were cold, “Have you co here just to give your last words?”
“Of course not,” the Emperor of Xiyun replied. “I ca to see you, and Jingjing, and the children. Sharing my last wishes is just incidental.” He paused, “I fear there might not be enough ti later.”
I’m afraid that even when you learn of my imminent death, you still won’t be able to reach the Capital in ti to see for one last ti. So I’m saying it now, so that even if we don’t et later, I can close my eyes in peace.
Hearing the Emperor of Xiyun’s words, Xiao Changyi understood the deep aning behind them, yet he didn’t say anything in response. Instead, he simply said, “The bed is ready. If there’s anything you need during the night, just call out. I’ll be able to hear you.”
Having said that, without waiting for the Emperor of Xiyun to respond, Xiao Changyi turned and walked out.
The Emperor of Xiyun watched Xiao Changyi leave the room until he could no longer see him. Only then did he look away, lowering his head to gaze at Su Yi Jing, who he held in his arms.
He then smiled and said to his beloved grandson, “My precious grandchild, you are just like your father, do you know that?”
Su Yi Jing couldn’t understand what the Emperor of Xiyun was saying, but seeing that he was being spoken to, he just lifted his little head, watching the Emperor of Xiyun silently, staring at him all the while.
