41, Chapter 41(1/2)
Scott was speechless, but he still said subconsciously: "I was wrong, but I never wanted you to separate from your mother. I just wanted your mother to change her mind. Who knew the queen had replaced you..."
Ino was a little annoyed and didn't want to listen to him.
"Hey, don't stop driving. You did this wrong in the first place. If you didn't want to get married, Li... wouldn't break up with you, and he wouldn't be assassinated by your marriage partner, and you don't have to
Even if we steal the eggs, the mother doesn’t have to change them, and our family of three may even still be living together.”
"However, things are already like this, so what's the point of talking about it anymore? You don't have to tell me this. Anyway, I have grown up and don't need a father anymore."
The emperor looked at him blankly, his eyes red, and murmured: "How could it be meaningless? I have been looking forward to you for 23 years. If I had known that you were..."
"So what?" Ino's expression was no longer very good, and he said in a bleak tone: "Aren't the eldest brother and sister Lily biological? I haven't seen how kind you are to them."
The emperor was startled again, and said a little at a loss: "No, it's different. You are the good boy I have been looking forward to for 23 years. You are the result of the love between me and your mother..."
"Ugh—" Ino suddenly turned around and retched.
The emperor's face instantly turned pale.
Yue Zhan, who was absentmindedly grabbing the little crab, was startled. He quickly took the little prince into his arms, patted his back gently to comfort him, and explained, "It must be morning sickness."
He thought that he was so disgusted by the emperor's words that he had to deny it regardless of whether it was true or not. After all, the emperor was still on the throne.
Scott: "..."
Ino still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, he had not become a Buddha, nor had he become an immortal. He could look down on worldly things. In addition, he was really feeling unwell. After retching for a while, his eyes were filled with tears, which quickly condensed again.
It turned into a pearl and fell on the beach with a "pat pat pat" sound.
He simply didn't get up and buried his head in Yuezhan's chest, rubbing it hard like a restless little animal.
Yue Zhan suddenly felt distressed. While holding him in his arms, he patted his head to comfort him and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's too late. Your Highness is pregnant and needs to rest early. If there is anything else, we might as well talk about it tomorrow."
"Is it too late?" Scott staggered and muttered, "Yeah, it's too late."
He lowered his head again and looked at Ino, who was huddled in Yue Zhan's arms, and felt heartbroken. He had just seen his son vomiting so uncomfortably, and the more he thought about it, the more he would be able to take the child into his arms and comfort him like Yue Zhan did.
But if he really does this, I'm afraid Ino will vomit even more, right?
The emperor was so lost that he didn't dare to say anything for a while. He only lowered his voice and said: "Nono, it's dad's fault. Dad shouldn't have told you so much at once. You, have a good rest and let Yue Zhan take care of you here.
Stay a few more days, dad... and come to see you again in a few days?"
After saying that, after waiting for a long time for Ino to respond, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then... how about when you want to return to the palace, and dad will visit you again?"
Ino still said nothing, and the emperor's face became even more disappointed. In the end, he could only say to Yue Zhan, "take good care of him", and then reluctantly left.
Listening to the footsteps getting further and further away, until they could no longer be heard, Ino quietly raised his head and turned around with his red eyes. He didn't see the emperor, so he asked Yue Zhan in a low voice: "He's gone?"
"Yeah." Yuezhan nodded and asked, "Are you... okay? What if..."
If you feel sad, you can continue to stay in his arms.
Unfortunately, before he could say the next words, Ino breathed a sigh of relief, pushed him away and said, "I finally left."
After saying that, he suddenly turned back into a mermaid, raised the tip of his tail, and said, "Hurry up, there are still two little crabs left to pick."
Yue Zhan: "..."
After picking off the last two small crabs, I looked at him again, trying to confirm whether he really didn't care or whether he was forcing a smile.
To be honest, no matter which one it is, I can't help but feel distressed when I get over it.
He has a happy family and loving parents. He really can't imagine how sad it must be for someone as young as the little prince to live alone in the palace.
In particular, the little prince should have grown up like him, being pampered by his parents, but something went wrong... Mainly because of the emperor's manipulations, the little prince who should have been happy was harmed, and ended up in a lack of love and loneliness.
grow up.
If you have never had it, that's fine, but now you know that you should have everything and should not be so unfortunate. Everyone will feel unfair, right?
If the little prince really doesn't care, then he must have been disappointed with the emperor countless times before he became like this. If the little prince is forcing a smile, then...
Yue Zhan couldn't bear it even more. Seeing that the other person was sad and sad at this time, he still had to endure it.
He picked up the small bucket and shook the little crabs in the bucket. He deliberately teased the little prince and said, "Steam them too?"
Ino immediately disliked it and said, "No, they pinched the toes. If you want to steam them, you can eat them yourself."
Yue Zhan: "..."
"But didn't they eat all the seven or eight that pinched their tails last time?"
Ino: "Last time it was the tip of the tail, this time it's the toes. Can it be the same?"
Yue Zhan lowered his head and looked at the cute, round and white toes of the little prince. He was a little puzzled: Aren't they all in the same position?
"Besides," Ino touched her belly and said seriously, "You can't eat crabs when you're pregnant."
Yue Zhan: "!!" Is there any other way to say this?
He quickly dumped all five or six small crabs.
However, he was relieved to see that the little prince was not forcing a smile. But thinking about the reason behind this, he couldn't help but frown.
Seeing this, Enuo rarely guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She comforted her sweetly: "Hey, don't think too much, I have given up hope on him a long time ago, so how can I be disappointed? I have long been used to it.
,nothing."
Yue Zhan threw the keg aside, walked over, raised his hand and caressed his face, and asked distressedly: "Has he broken His Highness's heart more than once?"
Ino blinked and thought——
[You just touched my jio, and now you touch my face again, ugh~]
Yue Zhan: "..."
His face turned dark, he pinched his sharp chin and said angrily: "Don't ruin the atmosphere."
Ino: Hey, did I say something just now?
Yue Zhan leaned over and kissed her directly.
Ino: "Hmm!"
His eyes widened, and two minutes later, he lay in Yue Zhan's arms, gasping for breath, and explained: "Last time I asked him about the order of marriage, what do you think he said?"
"Huh?" Yue Zhan caressed the little mermaid in his arms.
Ino snorted angrily: "He actually said that if he hadn't given me a prince status, I wouldn't be worthy of marrying you."
The emperor said "unable to marry" at that time, but Ino deliberately changed it to "unworthy", hoping to draw Yue Zhan to share the same hatred, but unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he became angry again.
After hearing this, Yue Zhan frowned and said in a slightly cold tone: "He actually said that?"
"Yes!" Ino nodded vigorously and emphasized fiercely: "So I dropped my words on the spot to tell him not to regret it, but I didn't expect..."
Halfway through, he saw that Yue Zhan kept frowning, and he couldn't help but be wary and asked: "You don't think so too, do you?"
"How could it be?" Yue Zhan was surprised, a little helpless and a little uneasy, and said, "I am not worthy of His Highness."
After all, he was not a good person in his "last life" and had severely hurt His Highness.
When Ino heard what he said, he felt embarrassed immediately. He shook his head and said, "No, you, you are actually very good."
Yue Zhan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking: Is this a good person card?
Ino nestled on his chest and listened quietly to his heartbeat. After a while, he suddenly had a whim and asked: "Tell me, if I were not the prince, would the situation be like what my father said? For example...
…Your parents don’t agree?”
Yue Zhan rubbed his head in a funny way and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Ino: "Hey, this is how it's done in TV series."
"That won't happen," Yue Zhan assured. "My parents don't value these things. They just learned that Yue Ge's girlfriend is a star thief two days ago. After my dad asked the girl if she had done anything evil, he didn't.
Never mind, my mother asked him to take the person back as soon as possible..."
"That's because that star thief is my eldest sister!" Ino emphasized.
Yue Zhan: "But my parents don't know. They just think he is an ordinary star thief leader."
Ino: "..." Are there any ordinary star thief leaders?
but--
"I suddenly remembered something," Ino suddenly sat up from him and said, "Sister said she would come to my engagement ceremony, why didn't she come?"
Yue Zhan leaned on his arm, put it against his lips and coughed lightly, thinking: It's a good thing he didn't come.
The eldest princess also thought so. When Ino called to inquire, she said: "Isn't it too embarrassing? Fortunately I didn't go, otherwise everyone in the Star Thief Group would know that I called the emperor who had a 'broken egg'
Father, how can I still hang out in the Star Thief Group?"
Ino: "..."
The eldest princess: "How can I establish my authority in front of other leaders of the Star Thieves in future fights?"
"But I gave you a generous gift, didn't you receive it?" the eldest princess asked apologetically.
"Got it." Ino said wiltedly.
"I'm sorry, little Ino. I'm really too busy here. The nearby Star Thief Group and several small countries have been particularly restless for some unknown reason recently. I originally set out two days ago, but I was robbed on the way...
