Chapter 109 The Disabled General's Forced Love 04
Lu Jingxuan was dissatisfied: "I've told you so many times, when we're alone, just call me Ah Xuan. How come you always forget, uncle?"
He curled his lips, looking a bit childish.
Seeing this, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but laugh.
He nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's my fault. I will change next time."
Lu Jingxuan: “…”
Next time, and next time again, he never waited for the so-called next time.
He was about to say something else when he heard Lu Huaiyuan say, "Ah Xuan."
Hearing that the other party had changed his tone, Lu Jingxuan felt very happy and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Seeing his somewhat childish look, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile.
He knew that Lu Jingxuan treated his uncle sincerely, but it was a pity that 'Lu Huaiyuan' had not appreciated it before!
According to the plot, 'Lu Huaiyuan' is not only the regent of Chen Kingdom, but also the uncle of the young emperor Lu Jingxuan.
'Lu Huaiyuan' and Lu Jingxuan's father, the late emperor, are brothers from the same mother.
Their mother was not favored at the time and was even persecuted several times by the favorite concubine.
After risking her life to give birth to Lu Huaiyuan, their mother passed away.
When Lu Huaiyuan was born, his elder brother was already a young man.
In order to protect his only younger brother and to survive in this cannibalistic royal family, he voluntarily got involved in the fight for the throne.
It took them a lot of effort to bring down the others and their father.
In the end, his brother, the late emperor, successfully inherited the throne.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The late emperor had been assassinated several times during the fight for the throne. His health had long been failing, and he died within a few years of ascending the throne.
Before his death, the late emperor passed the throne to his only son Lu Jingxuan and appointed Lu Huaiyuan as regent to govern the country.
The late emperor handed over his son and the entire kingdom of Chen to Lu Huaiyuan.
At that time, the Chen Kingdom had just been stabilized for a few years, and his death could be said to have caused internal and external troubles.
After the death of the previous emperor, his queen also passed away, leaving only 7-year-old Lu Jingxuan and 15-year-old Lu Huaiyuan to depend on each other.
The late emperor had only one empress in his life, and they loved each other very much, so Lu Jingxuan grew up with Lu Huaiyuan, and the relationship between them was naturally very close.
During these years of getting along, Lu Jingxuan really treated and respected 'Lu Huaiyuan' as his father.
Lu Huaiyuan was initially very caring and devoted to his nephew, but unfortunately, wealth and power eventually blinded people's hearts.
After several years of being immersed in power and instigated by those around him, he began to have improper ambitions for the throne.
When the young emperor reached the age to rule the country, he refused to return power and even planned to replace him.
Lu Jingxuan saw through his thoughts and took the initiative to step down and give up power, but it did not win the other party's mercy.
After Lu Huaiyuan ascended the throne, he gave his eighteen-year-old nephew a cup of poisoned wine to his father.
However, looking at the disappointed look in the other person's eyes before his death, he felt inexplicably regretful, but it was too late.

In the imperial study room.
Lu Jingxuan paused, looked at Lu Huaiyuan in front of him, and asked first, "Uncle, I heard that the young general of Anguo was assigned to your palace. Is that true?"
Lu Huaiyuan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and he nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Lu Jingxuan asked: "Then how do you plan to deal with him?"
Although Lu Huaiyuan handled most of the affairs of the court, he had heard of Chu Shiyan's deeds.
He did feel disgusted with Emperor An's actions, but he actually admired Chu Shiyan.
If the other party didn't have an old grudge with Lu Huaiyuan, he really wouldn't mind helping him.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingxuan said again: "Chu Shiyan is now half a useless person. Since the emperor's uncle hates him, he should just have him killed."
"He's just an insignificant person. Why dirty your hands?"
Hearing his words, Lu Huaiyuan looked over, and his expression made Lu Jingxuan a little confused.
"Uncle, do you think there is something wrong with what I said?" he asked.
Lu Huaiyuan retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Ah Xuan, you're worrying too much."
He paused for a moment and added, "However, Chu Shiyan is indeed a talented person. If he can be used by the Chen Kingdom in the future, he will definitely be a good knife, so there is no need to kill him completely."
Lu Jingxuan couldn't help but frown: "But he is disabled now, why do you want to keep such a useless person?"
Lu Huaiyuan: "Ah Xuan is right."
He curled his lips into a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "But since he's already disabled, he naturally won't pose any threat anymore, so why not spare his life?"
Hearing this, Lu Jingxuan looked up at him with a thoughtful expression.
"So, the emperor's uncle is planning to let him go?" He looked away and asked.
Lu Huaiyuan didn't answer the question directly, but said, "Didn't Xuan say before that he would leave the person to me to deal with as I pleased?"
"So since you've handed the person over to me, I will naturally take care of this matter. Don't worry."
His tone was casual, but Lu Jingxuan was not a stupid person and could naturally guess his attitude.
"Uncle Huang's words seem to be very different from before."
He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes flickered as he spoke, and his expression was somewhat ambiguous.
Lu Huaiyuan's expression remained unchanged as he simply said, "As people live, we are inevitably influenced by worldly matters. Moreover, people's thoughts are constantly changing, so how can they remain unchanged?"
"Xuan feels different. Maybe my thoughts have changed on some things, so my approach is naturally different."
Lu Jingxuan nodded in agreement: "Uncle Huang is right."
"But if you have any ideas, just go for it. Whatever you decide, I believe there will be a reason for it, and I will still support you.
Lu Huaiyuan probably guessed that he would have such an attitude, but he was not surprised.
The two of them understood each other tacitly and did not discuss the matter any further.
After a while, Lu Huaiyuan saw that it was almost time and Lu Jingxuan really had nothing to do, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
After he finished speaking, Lu Jingxuan asked, "Uncle, don't you want to stay and have breakfast with us?"
"No need." Lu Huaiyuan declined: "I felt a headache when I woke up this morning. I want to go back to the palace to rest first."
Lu Jingxuan couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this: "Why do you have a headache? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
He paused for a moment and continued, "In that case, why don't you stay in the palace for now? It's also a good opportunity for the imperial physician to come and see you."
Lu Huaiyuan nodded, but still insisted on leaving: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine. I just need to go back and rest for a while."
