Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(143) Don't want to become Someone Condemned in History

Xiao Xu was not at all surprised to see this person in prison.

His grandfather on his mother's side.

He merged the three borders of Western Xuan Empire, recaptured the land that was invaded and occupied for more than a hundred years, once again expanded the territories of Western Xuan Empire . The heroic and fearless Elder veteran.

Also, the Left Minister of Western Xuan Empire.

Liang Cheng-Yu.

"Maternal grandfather, have you been well these several days?" Xiao Xu stood up and calmly saluted him.

Although Liang Cheng-Yu was in such a place like the royal prison, he still had a calm attitude to handle affairs. The salutation soothed him, he had always dealt with military matters throughout his life, so his temperament was unyielding. He would never be able to tolerate an endlessly weeping person that had no opinion of their own. Fortunately, this grandson of his was not like his mother who was shortsighted and unreconciled.

Only that sometimes, he didn't like this grandson's temperament. He appeared sharp and strict, in fact he was the most unwilling to fight and scheme. He is a person that doesn't like to vie for power, but he is wise, farsighted, courageous and insightful, exactly what other people lacked.

"Xu'er, you have suffered." Minister Liang gave a soft sigh.

"Maternal grandfather need not say this, in here is still pretty good. Quiet with no one to disturb me, this can't be considered very bitter." Xiao Xu replied faintly, he really didn't feel there was much bitterness here that needed to be said. The most miserable time he had already lived through it. The other matters from his point of view weren't considered much.

Minister Liang sighed again, he should have been an arrogant royal prince, he should have been the first to succeed as heir as the son of the empress. He should have been the Highness everyone revered, yet now he suffered from being wrongly accused and was locked up in the royal prison. Even his appearance was burned by that huge fire from ten years ago until it was changed beyond recognition.

This child in his eyes was plagued with misfortunes.

Before, how bright and lovely he was now; he was cold and detached, pushing people thousands of miles away.

That pair of black pupils, no one could see through and know what he was thinking about.

Several years ago, His Majesty used pretty words to send him to the border to learn through experience. In fact, it was to give Fourth Prince time to grow his forces, help Fourth Prince strengthen his position. Xu'er knew all this but he still silently left and even managed the border until everything was in order. He repelled border countries that tried to invade countless number of times.

A pity that no matter how much he did, His Majesty never seem to see it.

No! this matter, if there was no solution to be found, then he would never have a chance to change his fortunes.

And Liang family's position was tied together with him, if something bad happened to him, not only Empress Liang, but even Liang family will be in a precarious state.

For Liang family, he won't let something like this happen.

"Xu'er, this matter grandfather has already paved the way with the several officials in the Justice of Peace Department that handles this case. You shouldn't be too worried. Your mother empress will also plead for leniency with your father the emperor." Minister Liang wanted to pat his shoulder but when his hand was lifted halfway, he recalled Xiao Xu didn't like other people touching him, therefore he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
