Chapter 1244: Hate? Of Course I Hate!
"Am I an unreasonable person?" Xie Yu asked.After speaking, without waiting for Bai Zhi’er’s response, he nodded to himself:
"A bit unreasonable, indeed."
Bai Zhi’er’s eyes were dark and round, she laughed heartily.
"That’s what you said yourself, I didn’t say it."
At first, Xie Yu laughed foolishly along with her, but suddenly realized that she was a good friend of the Yuan Family!
Thus, Xie Yu’s face became sullen again, his smile vanished in an instant.
"So, what do you plan to say?"
Bai Zhi’er thought for a moment: "Let’s speak in your bedchamber."
Xie Yu widened his eyes, flushed red, and said: "You shameless woman, you actually want to seduce me?!!"
This time it was Bai Zhi’er’s turn to be shocked: "What are you thinking! You’re so much younger than me!"
Xie Yu frowned: "Is it a lot? You’re only two years older than me."
Bai Zhi’er gave a beautiful eye roll: "You’re not that old, but you think too much."
"I suggested the bedchamber because it’s too cold now, it’s about to snow."
"Besides, since your old ailment has just healed, you should lie down and rest, don’t strain yourself."
Xie Yu’s gaze was deep and shadowy: "You should have clarified earlier."
Almost caused a misunderstanding!
In no time, the two returned to the bedchamber.
The earth dragon burned warmly, reminiscent of spring.
Bai Zhi’er blew on her cold palms, seeing this, Xie Yu handed over a cup of hot tea.
Though he said nothing, this careful care made Bai Zhi’er feel that the little emperor was not as bad as Yuan Ruxin had claimed.
At least, he wasn’t entirely heartless.
"If there’s something you wish to say, speak now. If you’re here to plead for the Yuan Family, there’s no need." Xie Yu reclined lazily on the chaise lounge.
Bai Zhi’er also shifted to a comfortable sitting position.
She blinked her round eyes: "I am indeed here for the Yuan Family’s matters, even if you don’t want to forgive them, at least listen to what I have to say."
Xie Yu raised his brow, sneering: "Fine, speak, I want to hear what you can say for them."
Bai Zhi’er said: "Do you truly hate the Regent King?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yu’s smile immediately disappeared, becoming extremely grim.
The storm in his eyes was terrifyingly dark.
He sat upright: "Hate? Of course I hate!"
"The Regent King bullied me when I was young and incapable of ruling, all national affairs were decided by him."
"He once used his power to falsely accuse my uncle of treason and had him executed by waist chopping! By the time I got the news, my uncle had died long before."
"I once advocated strict laws and policies, yet he publicly embarrassed me in the court to protect his cronies."
"In his years as Regent King, how much Silver Tael has he embezzled, how many bribes has he accepted."
"Many poor scholars feel hopeless about the imperial exams because of his exclusion, and want to see me, but can’t even get their appeals to me!"
"Some of them know I’ll stand on the palace’s Star Picking Platform and gaze, every time they can see the forest outside the palace, unable to let their grievances reach my ears, they even donned bloodstained clothes together, using this method to show me how unjustly these bottom-tier people were treated."
"But at that time, I was walking on thin ice and could only protect myself; where was the capability to help them?"
"Tell me, how could I not hate?"
"If I forgave, who would speak for the loyal officials who died unjustly, the scholars who despaired and ended their lives, and the nameless who were oppressed?"
