The Emperor Is Unfair, The Love He Gave Him, This Son Has Never Enjoyed!

"………………"

Lu Chen was speechless upon hearing this.

Is this old guy also falling for the 'true fragrance' law?

He had just said he'd rather die than agree to Lu Chen and Luo Li's engagement. But now he's changing his tune so quickly, agreeing to a betrothal today?

That's really something.

"Hahaha. Today is too rushed. Let's do it the day after tomorrow. I'll announce it today and hold a grand banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow to finalize the engagement between Little Eleventh and Little Luo Li!"

Seeing Luo Zhenshan's "true fragrance" moment, the Azure Emperor couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhenshan smiled and cupped his hands towards the Azure Emperor.

"Since that's the case, I shall follow His Majesty's words. This old minister will now return to deliver the good news and take my leave."

Luo Zhenshan stood up and cupped his hands towards the Azure Emperor.

"Alright, you may go!"

Watching Luo Zhenshan leave, the Azure Emperor smiled at Lu Chen beside him, finding him more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Little Eleventh, what brings you to see your Father Emperor today?"

"Father Emperor, Chen'er just misses you."

Lu Chen pouted.

"Father Emperor is always so busy, handling various state affairs during the day and cultivating at night, with no time to accompany Father Emperor. Chen'er misses Father Emperor, so I came to see you."

"Oh my, my precious Little Eleventh."

The Azure Emperor's heart nearly melted upon seeing Lu Chen's aggrieved expression and hearing his childish words.

He immediately scooped Lu Chen up.

"Chen'er, it's my fault. If you miss Father Emperor in the future, just come find me."

The Azure Emperor pinched Lu Chen's chubby little cheeks.

"Okay, Father Emperor."

"But Father Emperor, do you remember the promise you made to your son a few days ago? You promised Chen'er one condition."

Lu Chen nodded and then stated the main purpose of his visit to the Azure Emperor.

"Oh, of course, I remember. What is it? Have you thought of a condition?"

The Azure Emperor's face broke into a smile upon hearing this, and he asked curiously.

"Father Emperor, Chen'er wants Father Emperor to take a day off today and spend the whole day with Chen'er. Let's go out of the palace and stroll around the imperial capital, and have a good rest for a day."

Lu Chen gazed at the Azure Emperor with his watery eyes, his voice childish.

As his words fell, the Azure Emperor's expression froze.

After a moment, the Azure Emperor couldn't help but hug Lu Chen tightly.

"Good child, good child. I've made you suffer these past few years."

"Father Emperor, Chen'er isn't suffering. As long as Father Emperor is well, that's all that matters."

Lu Chen's words were like a final knife, piercing the Azure Emperor's chest.

At this moment, the Azure Emperor's eyes even felt a little sore.

How precious was his promise?

Yet, his son was willing to waste one of his promises just so he could rest for a day and spend a day with him.

The Azure Emperor recalled how he had neglected Lu Chen and his mother in the previous years.

I'm truly not human.

The Azure Emperor roared inwardly.

"Alright, we'll do as Chen'er says. We'll go out of the palace and have fun for a day."

The Azure Emperor patted Lu Chen's shoulder heavily.

Half an hour later, the Azure Emperor, having changed out of his dragon robe into black brocade, and Lu Chen, wearing a small bright red jacket, walked through the imperial palace.

Father and son walked hand in hand through the palace. The princes, consorts, ministers, guards, eunuchs, and maids all saw the two of them in casual clothes, holding hands and chatting cheerfully, and were utterly stunned.

What the hell is going on?

Are the Azure Emperor and the Eleventh Prince playing cosplay?

"Greetings, Father Emperor, greetings, Eleventh Brother!"

As the Azure Emperor and Lu Chen were about to leave the palace, they coincidentally encountered the Seventh Prince, Lu Ren, who was around twelve years old.

Seeing Lu Chen and the Azure Emperor holding hands and chatting cheerfully, a venomous look flashed deep in Lu Ren's eyes before he quickly bowed to the Azure Emperor and Lu Chen.

"Hmm?"

After glancing at Lu Ren, the Azure Emperor merely nodded indifferently, then immediately lowered his head and spoke with a smile to Lu Chen.

"Little Eleventh, have you thought about what you want to do after leaving the palace?"

"Father Emperor, let's eat baked flatbread and lamb soup together!" Lu Chen said with a chuckle.

"Good, let's eat baked flatbread and lamb soup together." The Azure Emperor laughed heartily, holding Lu Chen's hand, not even looking at Lu Ren as they brushed past him.

This left Lu Ren trembling and contorted in place, his expression grim and gloomy.

"Father Emperor, can Ren'er go out of the palace to play with you?" Suddenly, Lu Ren's mind went blank. He turned his head and shouted towards the Azure Emperor and Lu Chen.

However, the only response was the continued laughter between the Azure Emperor and Lu Chen.

Father Emperor is unfair! Ignored completely, Lu Ren's eyes turned red, and he roared inwardly.

Then, Lu Ren ran frantically towards the Spirit Marvel Hall. Moving at the speed of a half-Grandmaster, he was like a gust of wind, colliding with a palace maid who couldn't dodge in time. The palace maid didn't even have time to scream before her body was smashed into pieces, dying on the spot.

"Mother Consort, I want Lu Chen to die, I want that beast to die! You don't know, he's now so arrogant with Father Emperor's favor, I can't stand it, I want him torn to shreds." In the Spirit Marvel Hall, Lu Ren stood before the Spirit Consort, gnashing his teeth and roaring, his eyes seemingly burning with fire.

"Ren'er, don't worry, your mother will not give up until Lu Chen is dead. However, the situation is special right now. That little beast Lu Chen has the Emperor's sole favor and is currently in the spotlight. We can't touch him for now, otherwise, if the Emperor finds out, whoever touches him dies," the Spirit Consort said with a sigh.

However, just as the Spirit Consort finished speaking, she saw another red slip of paper appear out of thin air before her. Seeing the red slip, the Spirit Consort's expression changed. She reached out and took it. Written on the paper in black ink were the words "Second Person."

Upon seeing this, the Spirit Consort's face paled, and she looked around, shouting, "Who is it? Who's playing these tricks?" Two strange, inexplicable red slips had appeared out of thin air for two consecutive days. The first, the second... What did this mean? These two slips gave the Spirit Consort a feeling of extreme unease.

"Your Highness!" Just then, a woman in red appeared before the Spirit Consort and spoke. "Your Highness, news has come from the Ling Mansion. Following the tragic death of the eighth young master of the Ling Mansion last night, just now, the seventh young master also died inexplicably in his bedroom. All that was left at the scene was a token in a cabinet, with the words 'Death-summoning Talisman' and 'Underworld' written on it!"

"What, Seventh Brother!" The Spirit Consort's face changed drastically upon hearing this. She staggered back two steps, dazed. "Who is it, who is targeting my Ling Family!" the Spirit Consort gritted her teeth.

However, at this moment, the Spirit Consort inadvertently glanced at the red slip in her hand and froze, stunned.
