The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

Chapter 158 Su Cen is heartbroken

At this time, Su Cen was still sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the jade pendant in her hand, tears flowing out unconsciously.

Wen Zhu, who was standing by, felt distressed when she saw the appearance of her young master.

It was getting late, but the young master didn't seem to want to rest at all. How could anyone bear to keep staying up like this?

During the day, the lady, the young mistress, and Mr. Li are there to accompany and comfort the young master, and his mood will be much better.

But Wenzhu knew that his young master was pretending to be better just for the sake of those who cared and worried about him.

When no one was around at night, he would often sit there all night. Wen Zhu couldn't help but step forward and persuade him, "Master, it's too late. You should rest."

"No matter what, you have to take care of yourself. If you fall ill, what will happen to the master and the mistress? You have to think about them!"

Hearing his words, Su Cen's tears flowed even harder. If it weren't for her parents, she would have wanted to just follow Brother Junming.

But he knew that he still had parents and relatives, and he couldn't just care about himself and make his family sad and painful, so he would not commit suicide for love.

"Got it, Wenzhu, you go down and rest first. You've been busy these days, you've been tired. I'll go to sleep in a while."

"Master, I am not tired and I will not go out. I want to watch you sleep and stay by your side. If you need anything at night, you can call me at any time."

In fact, Wenzhu was afraid that his young master would do something stupid. And he was not the only one who thought so. In the past few days, the lady had the maids and servants take turns guarding the door day and night, for fear that his young master would do something stupid.

How could Su Cen not understand his thoughts? "Wenzhu, you still have your parents, don't worry. Although I am really sad that Brother Junming is gone, I won't be stupid enough to follow him."

"I still have family and friends, and I won't do anything that would make everyone sad. You don't have to be so careful with me and watch over me every day."

"Young Master, look at what you said. I, the master and the mistress don't have this idea. I just want to be with you." Although she was exposed by Su Cen, Wen Zhu couldn't admit it, nor would she give up guarding him just because of his words.

Su Cen was too lazy to say anything else. Anyway, they would slowly believe it and rest assured, "Okay, since you don't want to go out, then stay."

"Yes, young master. I'll wait for you to rest." No matter what the young master said, just let him stay.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

Jing Xiangyuan was sitting at the table, stroking the handkerchief in his hand and drinking wine.

Zhui Feng said, "Your Highness, the secret guards reported that Young Master Su is still very sad and has lost his appetite all day, but he has not done anything extreme."

After saying that, he carefully observed Jing Xiangyuan's face. Although his expression did not change much, as Jing Xiangyuan's personal bodyguard for many years, Zhuifeng saw endless coldness in his eyes at this time, which made people shudder.

Zhuifeng could only continue to say something that might make his prince feel better, "Young Master Su's relatives and Li Fulang have been with him and comforting him these past few days, and his mood has improved a lot."

"I dare to say one more thing. Young Master Su and that Second Young Master Xu don't have a deep relationship. His current sadness is only temporary. He will soon forget about him and return to his previous state."

Seeing that Jing Xiangyuan was just stroking the handkerchief in his hand and didn't say anything, Zhuifeng became more and more panicked. Did he say something wrong?

Just as he asked for mercy, he heard Jing Xiangyuan chuckle, "You really know how to guess my feelings."

Zhuifeng broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, I did not mean to presume to guess your feelings. I just, just... beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"Okay, get up. I didn't say I was going to punish you."

Zhuifeng quickly stood up while saying thank you, Your Majesty.

"Tell them to keep an eye on Brother Cen and report anything to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes."

After Zhuifeng left, Jing Xiangyuan was the only one left in the room. He was looking at the handkerchief in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

After Li Shao came back, his life went on as usual, except that Zhao Ye spent a lot of time accompanying Su Cen to get out of the haze, which made Li Shao feel somewhat lonely.

As for his intention to resign, whether out of basic courtesy or normal procedure, he had to inform his superior, Xiao Jinsen, the top leader of the Xuanwu Army.

Although the emperor makes the final decision on the appointment and dismissal of officials, it is not easy to meet the emperor alone.

First, he had to write a memorial, clearly stating the reason for his request for a meeting, and then submit it to the Secretariat.

The Secretariat would conduct a preliminary review of the memorial to ensure that its content was in compliance with regulations and that the reasons were reasonable.

It will then be submitted to the emperor, who will decide whether to agree to an audience based on the content of the memorial and his own schedule.

Normally, General Xiao was very nice to him. If he submitted the memorial directly to his superiors without informing him, it would be a disrespect to him.

When General Xiao found out about this, he naturally disagreed and tried his best to persuade Li Shao.

He kept asking Li Shao why he wanted to resign. He didn't believe at all what Li Shao said, that he just wanted to live a leisurely and ordinary life.

In his opinion, no matter whether a man, a woman or a boy, as long as he has experienced wealth, power and the admiration of everyone, he will not be content with mediocrity.

Although Li Shao has not yet reached the point where he is admired by everyone, he is also famous and respected. Now he has a high reputation among the common people, and the soldiers under his command in the army also obey him.

Wherever he went, people called him "General Li" on the left and "Lord Li" on the right. The most important thing was that the emperor valued him and praised him a lot in the court.

What's more, Li Shao is still so young. Anyone who sees him can't help but admire his bright future. How could he possibly want to live a leisurely and ordinary life!

There must be other reasons, but Li Shao just said that when he asked again and again.

In the end, perhaps because Li Shao was so sincere, Xiao Jinsen finally believed the authenticity of his reason for resigning.

However, he still tried to persuade him in various ways and told him frankly that the emperor would not agree easily.

I advised him not to submit the memorial to the emperor, as it would be disastrous for him if he displeased him.

Although Li Shao was very grateful for his recognition and retention, he still planned to write a memorial to the emperor to resign.

However, he did not expect that before he had finished writing the memorial, the emperor ordered to summon him alone.
