Chapter 944 The baby is still there

As the two were talking, a young eunuch hurried in, served them tea, fruit, and other things, and then served them by pouring tea and water.

There were faint cries coming from outside the house, which made Lin Feng a little upset.

Not long after, Zhu Qisheng hurried in. His eyes were still red and swollen, but his expression was very solemn.

"Your Highness, the Emperor passed away before he could finish his instructions. I am deeply regretful. Now, I will be the one to make arrangements for the Emperor."

Lin Feng stroked his chin, also looking regretful.

"Alas, Eunuch Zhu, you don't need to tell me what the emperor has arranged. Just go ahead and do it. I, Lin Feng, am not qualified to be the regent. I am ashamed."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to slip away.

But when he reached the door, Zhao Tianyu was standing in front of it with his head tilted and his arms folded.

Zhu Qisheng smiled bitterly and turned to bow to Lin Feng.

"Your Majesty, please don't tease me. The Emperor has appointed you as the Regent, so naturally, you are to preside over the affairs of the court. If you are unable to take on this responsibility, then the Emperor's appointment would be in vain..."

What he meant was that if Lin Feng pushed the regent away, Zhao Zhen's dying wishes would go unfulfilled, and wouldn't his death have been in vain?

Seeing that Lin Feng was still hesitant, Zhu Qisheng said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, how about you sit down first and listen to what I have to say before making a decision?"

Seeing that he couldn't leave, Lin Feng had to turn around, sit down and serve tea.

"Okay, Eunuch Zhu, please speak."

Zhu Qisheng smiled at Zhao Tianyu to show his appreciation.

"Your Majesty, the late emperor's last wish was for Crown Prince Zhao Cun to inherit the throne, with you, the regent, to assist in governing the country, eliminate the rebels of the Dazong Dynasty, led by Zhao Zheng, and restore the Dazong Dynasty."

After Zhu Qisheng finished speaking, the room became quiet.

After a while, Zhu Qisheng saw that Lin Feng didn't say anything, so he had to continue.

"Currently, all government affairs of the Dazong court are decided by Regent King Lin Feng, and all the subjects of the Dazong court are bound to obey."

Zhao Tianyu bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Lin Feng took a sip of tea and smiled.

"Okay, in that case, you should go and take care of the late emperor's funeral, and then obey the emperor's orders and be a dutiful subject of the great clan."

"Where is the prince?"

Zhao Tianyu asked.

"Me? Well, I'm going to deal with that Zhao Zheng and fulfill the late emperor's last wish."

Zhu Qisheng sighed.

Zhao Tianyu looked disdainful.

"Your Majesty, you cannot go. You are the one who presides over the affairs of state. How can we hold court tomorrow without you?"

As Zhu Qisheng spoke, he waved his hand and asked the young eunuch beside him to step forward.

"Your Majesty, this is the seal of the Regent issued by the late Emperor. Please accept it."

Lin Feng looked at Zhu Qisheng and Zhao Tianyu.

"Is it necessary to do it?"

Both of them shook their heads firmly at the same time.

Lin Feng sighed: "Alas, you attach so much importance to this thing which only exists in name. I don't know what you mean."

Zhu Qisheng bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, besides the royal family, what else does our family have?"

His tone was very lonely. He had served the emperor all his life, but in the end, his country was destroyed and his family was nowhere to be found.

Lin Feng had a good impression of Zhu Qisheng. Although he was the emperor's close attendant, he was a righteous man and had never cheated with him.

"Eunuch Zhu, let go of everything. I, Lin, will take care of your old age and ensure you have a peaceful and comfortable life with no worries about food and clothing."

Zhu Qisheng burst into tears immediately. Before he could get over the sadness of the emperor's death, he was moved by Lin Feng again.

"Ah, hey, hey... I'm old and useless, and I can't control my emotions anymore..."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "This is nothing, Eunuch Zhu, there is no need to be polite."

Zhao Tianyu said sincerely, "In this world, only you, Lin Feng, dare to speak like this."

Lin Feng said disdainfully: "Why, without me, Lin Feng, can't Eunuch Zhu spend his old age in peace?"

Zhao Tianyu shook his head: "As Zhao Zhen's closest attendant and most trusted confidant, just think about it, how many scapegoats and dirty work he has to bear for the emperor. Among all the enemies in the world, you, Lin Feng, are number one, and this one is second..."

"Hahaha, I accidentally became a close friend of Eunuch Zhu."

Eunuch Zhu also recovered and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Your Highness is so humorous, how dare we marry into such a high position?"

"What are you talking about? I, Lin Feng, am just a commoner from the army. Eunuch Zhu, you are looking down on me by talking like this."

Zhao Tianyu quickly shouted, "Stop being so hypocritical, both of you. Just become brothers of the opposite sex."

There was anticipation in Eunuch Zhu's eyes and his lips trembled slightly.

Lin Feng's values ​​came from his previous life, so he didn't care about anything else and bowed to Eunuch Zhu readily.

"Big brother, please accept my humble greeting."

Eunuch Zhu began to cry and snot again. He wanted to reach out to help Lin Feng, but was afraid of dirtying Lin Feng's clothes. He also felt it was inappropriate not to help. He stood there at a loss and in a mess.

Lin Feng straightened up and laughed.

"Well, my eldest brother's retirement issue will be handed over to Lin Feng."

Eunuch Zhu waved to the young eunuch to come closer, held the young eunuch's shoulders, and sat down in front of the chair.

"Hey, brother, I have to slow down. Even when I followed the emperor, I was never this excited."

After a moment's pause, Zhu Qisheng said to Zhao Tianyu embarrassedly.

"Princess, I want to talk to my brother alone for a few words. I wonder..."

Zhao Tianyu glared: "Hey, you are turning your back on me. Without me, how could you..."

After thinking for a moment, he paused and nodded at the two of them.

"Alright, I'm an outsider now. Alright, I'm going to go out. Stay outside and talk properly."

After saying that, he turned around, slammed the door and walked out.

The young eunuch also left the room and closed the door behind him.

Zhu Qisheng wiped the tears and snot from his face and smiled at Lin Feng.

"Brother, as your elder brother, I don't have anything good to give you. I just remembered something and want to make it clear to you."

Lin Feng also sat down, poured a cup of tea for Eunuch Zhu, then held the teacup and sipped it slowly.

Zhu Qisheng continued, "Brother, I have been serving the emperor in the palace for many years. I am now healthy and have no other thoughts. My family members all starved to death back then."

As he spoke, his voice began to choke again.

Lin Feng didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"Even though life doesn't have much to look forward to, I only have one hobby. Brother, guess what it is?"

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Zhu Qisheng's white and chubby face.

"Saving money?"

Zhu Qisheng clapped his hands: "Hey, everyone says that you, Lin Feng, are amazing, and it's not without reason. I'm honored to have a brother like you..."

Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "Brother, you don't want women anymore. When it comes to power, you've reached the top, so all you have left is money."

Zhu Qisheng nodded and said, "Yes, yes, brother, I did save some treasures, but when I fled from the palace this time, I didn't bring anything with me."

Lin Fengyi grinned: "It doesn't matter if I'm gone, brother, I have plenty of money."

Zhu Qisheng quickly shook his hands: "No, no, no, the treasure is still there, but it can't be transported out."

"The entire city of Kyoto has been occupied. How can your treasure still be there?"
