Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 404 Two fathers
In the middle of the night, the main hall of Tiandou Palace was empty.

An old man with white beard and hair was sitting alone on the floor tiles of the main hall, holding a golden wine glass made of jade in his hand.

Xue Ye hasn't had a drink for a long time.

Because of his poor health, the imperial physician had repeatedly dissuaded him from drinking alcohol, which would cause even greater damage to his already exhausted body.

But Xue Ye didn't care much about the imperial physician's stop at that time.

He is the king of a country, and he has devoted himself to the country for so many years, how can he not even enjoy a little bit of fine wine?This is his rare desire to drink.

But later, after Xue Qinghe came forward, Xue Ye finally decided to quit drinking.

Because Xue Qinghe said that the future Tiandou will definitely be more prosperous and powerful in his hands, and the royal family will not be restrained everywhere like it is now. Absolute imperial power that is truly unified.

When this day comes, he hopes that he, the emperor who has devoted himself to the empire and the royal family without a day off, can accompany him to witness.

Xue Ye was convinced, and since that day, he really hasn't been contaminated by a single drop of alcohol.

But tonight, Xue Ye relapsed.

The emperor who lost all his sons in one night, as well as his most trusted and valued prince, now seems to have lost his original ambition.

Xue Ye had imagined countless times how he would look like when he passed away, and Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng would stay by his bedside to see him off.

But now...

Caressing the two cold coffins, Xue Ye once again needs a white-haired man to send a black-haired man...

Taking a sip of cold wine into the heart of sorrow already filled with boundless sorrow and anger, Xue Ye, whose body was already weakening day by day, couldn't help coughing twice under the stimulation of the cold wine and cool wind.

That's right, the cool breeze in the empty hall at night is quite fierce.

At least she was only wearing a big coat, and Xue Ye, who was wearing a single shirt underneath, felt a little unbearable for her body.

But sitting between her two sons, Xue Ye didn't care.

Now he just wants to spend more time with his two sons.

In a few days, when they are buried, they will be the same as their second and third sons who have passed away long ago, and they will never see each other again.

Now, spend more time with them...

Otherwise, when they go to the underworld, they don't know if they will blame their father for never being with them well.

Xue Ye flinched a little from her shoulders, leaning her back on Xue Qinghe's coffin, staring at the huge and empty hall with dazed eyes.

Under the main hall, the old and stooped old man accompanied the two children, telling them what he wanted to say all these years but had no chance to say to them who seemed to be sleeping.

"I used to think that compared to Xingluo's Dai Mingyuan, I should be a qualified father."

"But now that I think about it, I spend too little time with you as a father... More often than not, even if Qinghe came to me, I would give advice to the crown prince as an emperor..."

"Why should I compare myself to that one? I don't even remember the last time our family traveled together..."

The emperor who wandered among the various forces and balanced the order under the imperial power completely lost his usual majesty at this moment, just like an old father who regretted it too much.

"Ugh……"

I don't know if it was Xue Ye's illusion, but in this empty hall, he seemed to have auditory hallucinations, as if Xue Qinghe was still alive.

When Xue Ye was teaching Xue Qinghe, she often heard the child sigh.

However, Xue Qinghe's body was placed right behind Xue Ye, and it was confirmed by many parties that there was no life left.

Probably because I miss him too much... Obviously I haven't said goodbye for long...

"I'm sorry, father..."

……

A side hall on the east side of the palace.

The burly Kundera walked in the front, and the tight dress on his body could not conceal his strong muscles.

As a member of the Heaven Dou imperial family, Kundela is different from most of the royal families in the imperial city, because he has a principality that belongs to him alone - the Principality of Barak.

As Xue Ye's cousin back then, Kundera, who also had royal blood, was canonized king because of his outstanding contributions in the army and meritorious service in the war, and his territory was now Barak.

Because of his special background, Kundera's body is very strong, and he attaches great importance to the army of the Principality.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Tiandou, apart from the imperial guards, the army of the Principality of Barak is definitely the most powerful among them!

Originally, Kundera just wanted to consolidate the autonomous power of his principality and accumulate enough capital for his descendants.

But now...

The special accident that happened tonight made Kundera see new possibilities.

Before entering the room, Kundera ordered to the guards behind him: "Check the surroundings and rule out any possibility of monitoring and detection."

"Yes!" The guard immediately bowed his hands, and then called a few colleagues to scatter to investigate.

There are still a few guards outside the room, vigilant about the surroundings.

Without saying anything, Kundera walked into the room with his son, then closed the door, sat on a chair in the main hall, closed his eyes and meditated.

After his guards came to report and confirmed that the surroundings were correct, Kundera opened his eyes and stared directly at his son, the eyes shining brightly.

The prince was taken aback by his father's eyes. As King Kundera's adjutant, he knew very well that whenever his father's eyes appeared, it meant what kind of crazy thoughts appeared in his father's mind. .

"Kunfad, have you ever thought about not being a prince..."

Kunfade's eyelids twitched, his heart was startled, and he immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his hands to salute: "Kunfade is the son of the father, and Kunfade can be whatever the father wants Kunfade to be!"

Seeing his son's frightened appearance, Kundera smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't be too nervous, I know you are my own son."

"I want to ask you, have you ever thought about not being a prince and letting your identity be mentioned again?"

Kunfad nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the position under his father's buttocks, strengthened his courage, and said:
"You mean to give way to..."

Before Kunfade finished speaking, he was slapped back by Kundela with a slap.

"I'm asking if you are interested in being the crown prince of the empire!"

Kundera's words sounded like a thunderbolt in Kunfad's ears, making his brain unable to react.

"...Father...this is a crime of disrespect...be careful..."

There was a sneer on the corner of Kundera's mouth:
"Xue Ye no longer has a son, and his younger brother Xue Xing has also been childless all his life. The huge empire now has no heirs."

"And I, Kundera, are also of the blood of the royal family, why can't I sit in that position?"
