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

(234) You Didn't Do Anything Wrong

It was rare to see the Retired Emperor looking worried, Chu Qing-Yan couldn't help but walk over.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Are today's pastries not to your taste?" Right now she could only think of this reason.

"No." The Retired Emperor shook his head.

"Then what is it?" Chu Qing-Yan asked curiously.

The Retired Emperor glanced at her, then lightly shook his head. "Yan girl, I ought to be going."

It was so sudden that Chu Qing-Yan stared blankly. "Grandpa, where do you want to go? Not going to go together with us?"

"No, I need to stroll around other areas, so I won't be going together with you guys." Although the Retired Emperor's tone had a trace of reluctance to part, his manner of speaking was quite firm.

Chu Qing-Yan knew that once he made a decision, it would be hard to change so she nodded her head. "Did you tell his Highness?"

"In a while!" The Retired Emperor smiled, immediately after it seemed as if he thought of something and said to her. "Yan girl, along the way it was more difficult than what you imagined. If you don't want to continue, then let Xu'er know and he would send you home."

Chu Qing-Yan suddenly laughed out loud. "Grandpa, you really underestimate me too much. I'm not the kind of person that will retreat when I find out that reality is difficult."

"Then that's good, that's good. I will go find Xu'er to chat a bit." The Retired Emperor turned around and walked toward the person standing under a tree.

Chu Qing-Yan rubbed her head. Looking at the Retired Emperor's back, she felt it was somewhat strange. This didn't seem to be like the Retired Emperor's temperament. But he was the emperor for several tens of years after all, he probably had a side that she wouldn't understand. Based on her little head, she wouldn't be able to think of it. As a result she gave up on it.

And Xiao Xu, sensing there was a person behind him, turned around. When he saw it was the Retired Emperor, his expression didn't have any ups or downs, as if he had already anticipated this.

"Grandpa emperor, are you about to leave?" He asked.

The Retired Emperor didn't deny it. "Xu'er, in fact grandpa didn't plan on leaving so soon, but those things that happened in Ping Yang city still won't let grandpa's heart have no ill-feeling."

"Those are the crimes Liu family did, it doesn't have much relationship with you." Xiao Xu's eyebrow raised slightly as he persuaded.

The Retired Emperor shook his head as he gave a light smile. "In fact after the final analysis, it's still because I was too indulgent of Liu Shi's bloodline. If it wasn't for me giving them so many conveniences, how could they become the malignant tumor of Western Xuan? Rome wasn't built in a day ah."

"Then grandpa emperor, after leaving here where do you plan to go?" Xiao Xu asked.

"Go to Zhong Nan temple, go find my old friend. To chant some Buddhist scriptures and pray to the Buddha for Western Xuan to wash away so many years of sin!" The Retired Emperor laughed out loud, most of the laughter was because he had seen through life and death, optimistic and carefree.

Sensing grandpa emperor had already decided on leaving, Xiao Xu could only express his support.

"Then when will you leave?"

"A set date is not as good as one met by chance, then let it be today!"

"Good, wish grandpa emperor have a pleasant journey. If you need anything, then send this grandson a letter." That pair of indifferent eyes still couldn't cover up its deep concern.
