Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

After the little Emperor finished speaking, he regretted it.

Before, he knew about the Regent King’s feelings, but he had never expressed his disgust. Now, he had revealed everything… A hint of regret flashed in his eyes. The little Emperor had thought that the Regent King would take advantage of the situation, but he waited for a long time, and the other party didn’t make a move.

Lin Hanchuan leaned back in his chair, casually looking at the little Emperor. Seeing that the latter didn’t speak again, he said, “Is this all you wanted to say?”

At this moment, the little Emperor suddenly remembered that the person sitting in front of him was not just the man with impure intentions toward him but also the powerful Regent King of the Sui Kingdom.

The little Emperor’s face turned slightly pale. He took a deep breath, calming his restless emotions, and said calmly, “The Regent King is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and the people. Everything before was a misunderstanding. I will definitely give you an explanation.”

Lin Hanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Yuan. There was a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. “An explanation? How do you want to explain it?”

When he spoke, Lin Hanchuan emphasized the word “you,” and everyone knew that the one responsible for this matter was the little Emperor.

The already tense atmosphere became even more rigid. The little Emperor’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, and finally, he forced a bitter smile, “You wanted to humiliate me, right? So, as you wish.”

Lin Hanchuan was just dazed for a moment, and the little Emperor was already standing in front of him.

His pupils contracted, and Lin Hanchuan instinctively moved backward. The chair also fell over as he stumbled to the ground. When he stood up again, he was met with the astonished gaze of the little Emperor.

“What do you mean?” Lin Hanchuan patted his clothes and asked coldly.

The little Emperor stared at him, not stopping him as he fell. He was dumbfounded. As someone who came from a military background, the Regent King was exceptionally skilled. He was always composed and confident in everything he did. In the many years they had known each other, it was the first time the little Emperor had seen him in such a miserable state.

What embarrassed the little Emperor even more was that the other party had actually been avoiding him.

The little Emperor said with embarrassment, “Do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? I know very well. I am just a vessel. If you want it, then take it.”

These righteous words were also mentioned in the original text. A glint of coldness flashed in Lin Hanchuan’s eyes.

In the original text, Qi Changfeng wasn’t as composed as Lin Hanchuan. After being stabbed in the back by the person he trusted the most, he fled from the capital in a sorry state. No one knew what he had experienced during those few months, but they only knew that he returned with an army of elite soldiers and directly invaded the palace, even reaching the little Emperor’s bedroom.

The original owner of the body desperately questioned the little Emperor, wanting an answer and seeking justice for winning or losing. Qi Changfeng, who was provoked, directly seized the little Emperor’s power and imprisoned him in the palace.

Lin Hanchuan casually tidied up the teahouse that was in disarray. He clapped his hands and said, “I have no interest in the throne, but I am interested in your authority. If you cooperate, your throne will be secure.”

Until Lin Hanchuan left, the little emperor didn’t recover.

He never expected that he would swallow his anger and make such a great sacrifice, and the regent turned a blind eye to it. Obviously, there is no danger to his life, but the regent’s implication is that he will not touch his throne. This is a good thing to be happy about. The little emperor stared blankly at Lin Hanchuan’s back, but he didn’t feel any joy in his heart.

The regent returned to the court and stood at the forefront of all civil and military officials, as if he had never disappeared.

But the little emperor found that everything was different from before.

He used to be able to enter and leave the palace freely, but now he is locked in this invisible cage, and guards with swords follow him all the time. On the surface it is protection, but in fact, it is surveillance.

Lin Hanchuan had no idea about the little Emperor’s inner turmoil, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

After settling the affairs in the capital, Lin Hanchuan hesitated for a long time before giving an order to bring Gu Shi to the capital.

It took a whole month from Tianmen Pass to the capital. Along the way, Gu Shi was amazed by many things. There were too many things he had never seen before.

When they entered the city, Gu Shi was even more amazed by the bustling scene in the capital.

Having seen many cities along the way, the capital was undoubtedly the most prosperous. The crowded streets were filled with people, and everyone had smiles on their faces. There were many exquisite trinkets in the market.

Su Congyu still dressed simply in a blue shirt, not looking like the lord of a city but more like a poor scholar coming to take an exam. Fortunately, his extraordinary appearance complemented the simplicity of the blue shirt, giving him a gentle and refined temperament.

With a folding fan in his hand, Su Congyu’s eye twitched a few times. “Young Master, Master is waiting for you.”

This finally aroused Gu Shi’s interest.

After seeing the Regent King’s mansion in the capital, Gu Shi couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.

The Regent King’s mansion in Tianmen Pass had already exceeded Gu Shi’s imagination, but the Regent King’s mansion in the capital was even more exquisitely carved in every detail.

Unlike the city lord’s mansions they passed by, which were mostly magnificent and immediately showed that the household was wealthy, the Regent King’s mansion was clean and elegant, not looking like the residence of a regent king at all.

It was still beautiful, and Gu Shi was just a little puzzled, “Mr. Su, is the Regent King’s mansion short of money?” Otherwise, why would it be decorated so plainly?

Gu Shi had been used to a hard life. He used to fantasize about what kind of wealthy father would come to take him away. Now that he was really taken away, he felt a little panic.

Su Congyu: “…”

This child’s taste is beyond redemption. He only likes gaudy and vulgar gold. You should know that just the two stone lions at the Regent King’s gate are worth an entire city lord’s mansion that is slightly inferior.

Thinking this, Su Congyu contemplated giving Gu Shi a few more lessons.

Lin Hanchuan knew that Gu Shi was coming to the capital today, so he especially changed into a black outer robe and sat in a position where he could see the front gate, holding a book in his hands. He hadn’t turned a page in the book for a long time. When he saw Gu Shi, he closed the book and greeted him with a smile, “Ah Shi.”

Seeing Lin Hanchuan, Gu Shi’s eyes also brightened. During this period, he had met many people, but his favorite was still his father.

Gu Shi knew that if it weren’t for his father finding him, he would still be in a shabby town, living a day-to-day life without a future. His father was the one who pulled him out of the quagmire.

“Your Highness!” Gu Shi’s eyes sparkled, and like a reckless little dog, he rushed into Lin Hanchuan’s arms, shouting, “Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!”

The young boy was like a little cannonball, making Lin Hanchuan take several steps back. He helplessly smiled and patted Gu Shi’s head, “You’ve grown taller.”

“I told you I’ve grown taller! Mr. Su didn’t believe me!” Gu Shi was even happier now, “I really have grown taller!”

Embracing the boy who had been busy all the way, they walked towards the room. Su Congyu, the scholar in a blue robe, looked gloomy and silently followed the instructions of the butler to his room, alone and desolate.

When Gu Shi started to talk, his mouth was powerful in cursing, but now when he talked about the things he had seen along the way, his mouth was like a machine gun, firing continuously.

Lin Hanchuan didn’t interrupt him, just smiled and listened quietly. When he sensed that Gu Shi was thirsty, he silently poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

After all, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy. Lin Hanchuan’s heart softened, and he felt even more convinced that he had done the right thing.

“Your Highness, when do you have time? Let’s go together to see the markets in the capital. There must be many things here that we don’t have in Tianmen Pass.” Gu Shi suggested with a beaming smile, his eyes shining brightly.

Lin Hanchuan smiled, “Whenever you want to go out, just tell me in advance so that I can make arrangements.”

Gu Shi was instantly overjoyed, “Tomorrow, can we go tomorrow?”

“Sure.” Lin Hanchuan never refused Gu Shi. He agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Gu Shi’s happy smile, the two of them chatted a bit more until Gu Shi yawned. Lin Hanchuan then sent him back to his room to rest.

Perhaps it was because he had seen the person he had been missing, the next day, when Lin Hanchuan attended the court, he still had a relaxed and joyful expression, completely changing from his usual indifferent and melancholic demeanor.

The ministers in the court suppressed those who needed to be suppressed and punished those who needed to be punished. Those who were left were all astute individuals who knew that the Regent King had won the power struggle. No one wanted to offend him without reason.

The whole day was very relaxed and pleasant, and even the usually deep-thinking little Emperor didn’t bother Lin Hanchuan.

After the early court session, Lin Hanchuan hurriedly left and only found out at the palace gate that the sedan chair and coachman had been changed.

Lin Hanchuan’s expression slightly changed as his hand just reached for the long knife at his waist when the curtain of the sedan chair was pulled back, and a young boy with a beaming smile jumped out, saying, “Wangye~”

The motion of drawing the knife came to a halt, and Lin Hanchuan’s gaze softened. “Why did you come?”

“Wangye, didn’t you promise to accompany me for a stroll in the capital today?” The boy stood tall with his chest puffed out. “I came to pick you up.”

“So eager?” Lin Hanchuan got into the carriage and asked with a smile.

“You promised me.” Gu Shi looked at Lin Hanchuan earnestly.

“Alright, alright, I promised you. I won’t break my word.” Lin Hanchuan felt amused and exasperated, so he gently tapped Gu Shi’s forehead, leaving a faint red mark on the boy’s fair skin, which disappeared in an instant.

As the regent’s carriage moved farther away, a guard gazed at their receding figures and recalled the appearance of the young boy. He was startled and stood frozen for a few seconds before quickly rushing back to the palace, heading straight to the current emperor’s sleeping quarters.
