“Besides, this book will be of great help to the Great Yan, and even the entire world.”
“I also have my own selfish motives. I want to take the opportunity to leave a good reputation in history.”
Emperor Yan suddenly stretched out his hand.
Seeing this, Prince Anyang glanced at Zhang Shi and then went forward to hold Emperor Yan’s hand.
“I estimate that I can only earn this bit of reputation.”
Prince Anyang felt Emperor Yan’s strength and understood Emperor Yan’s thoughts.
“Don’t worry. The Arithmetic Books were compiled and promoted by father. Three years later, I will also order the contents of the Arithmetic Books to be included in the imperial examinations. The world will never forget father’s achievements.”
Only then did Emperor Yan calm down a lot and he retracted his hand.
Prince Anyang took good care of him and did not dare to leave.
“Third.” Emperor Yan suddenly spoke, but he stopped.
Prince Anyang did not wait for the rest of the sentence and looked at Emperor Yan.
However, he realized that Emperor Yan was actually looking at Zhang Shi beside him.
“Thirdly, I want to see Consort Shu.” It was as if he was looking at another person through Zhang Shi.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Zhang Shi and Prince Anyang changed.
Prince Anyang’s expression quickly returned to normal.
Zhang Shi was already kneeling on the ground.
Emperor Yan tilted his head slightly and looked at Prince Anyang.
“I have already found out that it was your mother who helped Consort Shu escape from the Imperial Palace.”
Prince Anyang’s expression changed.
“Now, Consort Shu is with you,” Emperor Yan said with certainty.
Prince Anyang’s face was a little pale.
Seeing Emperor Yan staring at him without blinking, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
“I don’t care why you took Consort Shu away. I only hope that 1 can see her once before I die.”
Since things had come to this, there was no need to hide anything.
Nangong Zhan’s adopted son, no, perhaps his biological son, should not be dead. Moreover, he had even sided with his eldest son.
Perhaps, his and Consort Shu’s son was not dead.
Qing’er… thinking of that obedient and sensible child, he also missed him a little.
Thinking that the child might still be alive, and that there was still such a connection between him and Consort Shu, he suddenly felt happier.
He realized that although he was about to die, he seemed to be relaxed now.
He didn’t need to think about the big picture anymore, and he didn’t need to think of himself as an emperor anymore.
He could now treat himself as an ordinary person.
Like ordinary people, they had their own emotions and acted according to their own preferences.
At this moment, he was even thinking.
If he had seen through everything earlier, he would have handed over the throne.
Would he be able to spend the rest of his life with the person he loved?
Prince Anyang frowned and did not reply.
Consort Shu’s status was special. Without Li Xiao’s permission, he could not arrange for her to enter the capital to meet with with his father.
Moreover, Consort Shu herself might not want to see him.
Emperor Yan looked at Prince Anyang with anticipation, hoping that his son would agree to his last condition.
However, when he saw his son’s silence, the hope on Emperor Yan’s face gradually dimmed.
“Regarding this matter, I have to ask Consort Shu.” Seeing Emperor Yan’s expression, Prince Anyang could not bear it and bowed to Emperor Yan.
Asking her was one thing, but he also had to discuss it with Li Xiao.
After all, the Nangong Army was his greatest reliance.
Emperor Yan glanced at Prince Anyang before retracting his gaze and lying back down.
“Alright, do it. Just tell her…”
“Please, on account of our many years of relationship as husband and wife, come and see me one last time.” Emperor Yan said.
At this moment, he no longer looked like an emperor. He was just an old man who was about to die.
“Yes.” Prince Anyang replied. He suddenly felt a little sad.
Was this the Emperor?
When he became the Emperor in the future, would he end up like his father, filled with regret and remorse…
Emperor Yan suddenly raised his hand and waved weakly at Prince Anyang.
“You may leave.”
“Remember to do what I have arranged. Before Consort Shu returns, I will hold on.”
“When 1 see her, I will give you what you want.”
Prince Anyang cupped his hands.
“Yes.”
He then left Shanghua Palace.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a young eunuch in the Imperial Consort’s chambers.
“Your Highness, the Imperial Consort wishes to see you.” The young eunuch bowed.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Prince Anyang said,”lead the way.”
Then, he followed the young eunuch to the Imperial Consort’s bedroom.
When they reached the place, the eunuch announced that the Prince Anyang had arrived, and the Imperial Consort came out with a few palace servants..
