Section 101: Difficult Decisions

“Uncle, do you know what you're saying?”

Emperor Baili stared intently at his uncle. The golden dragon Bingyue was currently shrouded in flames of burning fury.

His heart burned after hearing the words of Baili Qingchen, who told him about who was the mastermind of all the events that befell the concubines in the harem. Something that was held back in these few weeks was like exploding instantly.

Baili Qingchen knew, there was no point in using words to appease her nephew. All the consolation given will be meaningless and just a waste of energy.

Something as big as this was actually enough to drive an Emperor Baili insane. Looking with a deep gaze, Baili Qingchen's mind and heart continued to argue nonstop.

“Your Majesty, I never joke,” said Baili Qingchen.

Emperor Baili's hand was clenched. Really, his emotions exploded. Emperor Baili squeezed the paper he was holding, then tore it into pieces.

The main eunuch looked down in fear, while the servants had already retreated because they still cherished their lives.

How could this happen?

Emperor Baili did not think that the man who had toyed with the harem and hurt his concubines, was his own relative. He has put a lot of energy and time into searching for it all over the country.

Who would have thought that person was hiding inside his own palace?

At first Emperor Baili thought the mastermind must be one of the ministers. But, Baili Qingchen's words made her expectations fall from a very high place.

Emperor Baili still did not believe him, yet he knew his uncle would not lie. Moreover, the problem is so serious.

“Then, what do you want to do now?” ask Emperor Baili.

Before replying, Baili Qingchen took a breath for a moment and closed her eyes. He is trying to harmonize his heart and mind which since yesterday has always been in conflict.

His heart said he should not punish him, but his mind gave an excuse that the man's actions were not something that could be forgiven. Slowly, he said, “I want His Majesty to punish him.”

Emperor Baili's gaze was terrifying. What did his uncle say just now?

“Uncle, she is your mother.”

“And I am King Changle. After my father and brother gave me this title, she wasn't just my mother. Consort Dowager Sun has made a mistake, and she should be punished,” Baili Qingchen said firmly.

However, there was a slight tremor in that voice. Emperor Baili suppressed his emotions for a moment. It was not that he did not want to punish, he instead desperately wanted to tear the culprit apart.

However, the man was the widow of his grandfather, aka his step-grandmother. Although he was almost the same age as his mother, he looked more senior than according to genealogy.

Consort Dowager Sun is one of the elders of her grandfather's surviving reign. His behavior had been good all along and he had never tried to make his son emperor at all. In this palace, other than Empress Dowager Ming, there were very few people who could survive.

Undeniably, this was also difficult for Emperor Baili. For the first time he felt hesitant in punishing someone.

Emperor Baili better not know anything, that way he can vent his anger to the person he wants. However, that desire ran aground because his uncle had first found the culprit, who was none other than his own family.

“If I lower the decree to punish him, then there will be no way back. Uncle, are you sure you want to do it?”

Hearing this question, Baili Qingchen's heart wavered again. Even if his mother had killed Wang Lingshan, Baili Qingchen could still consider it a mistake.

But his mother hurt a lot of people. In fact, he almost killed his own son and daughter-in-law.

It was a protective cruelty masked

and the affection.

Baili Qingchen and Emperor Baili fell silent. The couple's uncle and nephew were both confused. It should be easy, but why does it feel so heavy and hard.

“No matter what it is, he should still be punished. I never let blood ties bind me and hinder me in making a decision,” Baili Qingchen said, trying to convince herself.

Aih, he should have asked Qingyinbefore coming here. At the very least, the girl must have had an idea to determine the end of this incident.

Even if it's a little crazy, if it's satisfying, then it's okay. Baili Qingchen was simply too embarrassed to meet him after what happened last night.

“Uncle Grandpa, Father, just alienate the culprit,” the clear voice of the little boy breaks the silence.

At the entrance of the emperor's study hall, Baili Wuyuan stood while carrying a brownish-yellow gulali. His mouth was dirty due to the melt, while his gray clothes were exposed to dust.

Behind him, some of the servants looked down in fear. They could not prevent this prince from barging into the emperor's study room.

Baili Wuyuan then walked with small steps. The small rice ball stood beside Baili Qingchen, pulling on her robe with her small hands. “Uncle Grandpa, if you don't have the heart, then just alienate him. Didn't Uncle Grandpa always say that humans sometimes can't hold back even though he wants to?”

The words of the small rice ball made Baili Qingchen stupefied. This boy was only seven years old, but already like an adult.

Just taught a few times, Baili Wuyuan was already this smart. His brain is very intelligent, he is able to understand many things in a short time. This includes superior seedlings.

Baili Qingchen crouched down, aligning her height with Baili Wuyuan's height. The innocent eyes of the boy pierced into Baili Qingchen's heart.

She is very cute, but may have something very complicated in it. Baili Wuyuan bit his scroll, the corner of his mouth was a straw.

“Wuyuan is very smart. But, adult affairs like this, Wuyuan does not need to interfere,” he said while stroking Baili Wuyuan's head.

“Uncle Grandfather, father has appointed me prince. If I don't understand adults, how can I help Uncle Grandpa and Dad?”

This kid is smart. Emperor Baili was still sitting on his regal seat, watching the interaction between his uncle and son. They are like a pair of father and son.

Emperor Baili wasn't even that close to Baili Wuyuan. He visited her occasionally when leisurely, then left after a while. The interaction is also just greeting each other without saying much.

Perhaps, Emperor Baili did not know the daily life of his own son. Ever since he raised him to be a prince and gave him a palace, Emperor Baili had sent many servants and eunuchs and foster mothers to take care of him. He had also asked Baili Qingchen to teach his son.

Why did it feel like Emperor Baili was a little envious?

Of course he didn't show it. Emperor Baili knew that he was the emperor, and he could not get close to anyone including his own son. In his chair, Emperor Baili hid his expression well.

His eyes were still fixed on his uncle and son, then he said, “My son's words are not impossible.”

“Your Majesty, isn't that not worth it?”

“Then, what do you want? Do we have a better way?”

Nephew's right. He himself felt like a fool now.

“Dowager Consort Sun is the widow of the concubine of the grandfather. He could not die without his own will. Moreover, she was your mother, the mother of King Changle. Can you hold back all the rumors about you?”

“I never care about public opinion.”

Well, who cares. His reputation had also declined since then and he was often branded as a killing machine for being the War God Bingyue.

Called the son of the ungodly who punishes his own mother, does he care? Fuck the word of a devotee!

“I'll write the decret. Bring it to him with your own hands,” break up Emperor Baili.

Baili Qingchen exhaled. This difficult decision, in the end, was broken by a small child.
