Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 580: Zhu Houzhao is extremely sad
The Zhang brothers usually loved to talk nonsense, but at this moment they could not utter a word. They stared blankly at Empress Zhang, then walked carefully to her side and whispered, "Ah, sister..."

"Is the emperor still drunk?"

They thought that Emperor Hongzhi had just drunk some wine at Chen Ce's place and was now talking nonsense.

How could a good person become like this?

The Zhang brothers' eyes slowly turned red. Over the years, Emperor Hongzhi had been extremely good to them.

These brothers have been causing a lot of trouble over the years. They beat up the old marquis of the Zhou family and bullied men and women in the market. Although they have not done all kinds of evil, they are disliked by the civil servants.

The civil servants had no idea how many times they had impeached them. If it had not been for Emperor Hongzhi protecting them, they would probably have died countless times.

Maybe it was because of Empress Zhang, but no matter what, Emperor Hongzhi was a good man and a good emperor. At least that was enough for them brothers.

Now hearing that Emperor Hongzhi will not live long, how can the brothers not be sad!

Of course, the saddest person was undoubtedly Zhu Houzhao. He angrily said, "The Imperial Hospital is a bunch of good-for-nothings! They are talking nonsense! Father, you can't be sick. You are still so young, how could you be sick!"

"I don't believe it. I just don't believe it! Father, you lied to me! The Imperial Hospital lied to you. I'm going to kill everyone in the Imperial Hospital!"

"These people don't understand medicine at all. They are just a bunch of liars!"

Looking at the extremely excited Zhu Houzhao, Chen Ce sighed slightly. Naturally, he would not say anything at this time. Let the matter between father and son be resolved by themselves.

Empress Zhang advised Zhu Houzhao: "My son, calm down, calm down!"

"Mother! You know it too, right? You all know it, right?"

"Little brother, you have been asking me to spend more time with our father. Did you know this a long time ago?"

"You all deserve to die! Why didn't you tell me?"

"You say you treat me like an adult, but you all treat me like a child! I hate you, I hate you!"

Tears streamed down Zhu Houzhao's face. He was confused and panicked like a child.

His father, his beloved father, suddenly said that he was dying and was going to die. How could Zhu Houzhao bear it?

Although Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Hongzhi were usually lazy, who could understand the love of a son for his father?
He and Emperor Hongzhi had many quarrels and had been willful, but isn't this how things should be between a father and son?
He loved his father deeply, and his father also gave all his love to Zhu Houzhao. Although Zhu Houzhao was naughty and mischievous when he was young, Emperor Hongzhi did not allow outsiders to say anything bad about his son.

Later, seeing that his son was becoming more and more outstanding, Emperor Hongzhi praised his son more than once in front of his ministers and was proud of his son.

His fatherly love for his son is also great and selfless!

Although they are from an imperial family, they are also real father and son.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said sternly, "Zhu Houzhao! How dare you!"

"Who do you hate? If you want to hate someone, hate me alone! It has nothing to do with Chun Jian or your mother. I told them to keep it a secret from you!"

"Look at how you are now. If I had told you earlier, would you have been able to bear it?"

"Everyone loves you silently, and everyone is afraid that you will be sad and upset. What qualifications do you have to hurt others and say that you hate them?"

“I just said that you have grown up and you will be able to stand like a man in the future. You, you disappoint me... cough cough cough!” Seeing Emperor Hongzhi coughing violently, Zhu Houzhao was terrified: “Father, father! I dare not do this anymore. Please don’t do this... wuwuwuwu!”

"I don't want my father to leave me. I don't want my father to leave me. Woohoo!"

"I can't do this. I can't face these things alone. Father, please don't leave. Please promise me that you will stay with me. I don't want you to leave!"

"I don't want to be an emperor. I just want to be filial to my father. Father, you are too tired. You must be too tired. I will share the burden for you in the future. I will not let you be so tired...Ah! Ahhhhh!"

"It's my fault, it's my fault, Father! I made you too tired in the past. If I had grown up earlier, if I had helped you earlier, you wouldn't have been so tired."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao crying heartbrokenly, Chen Ce felt very uncomfortable.

This day will come sooner or later, so it’s not a bad thing to let him know earlier.

Emperor Hongzhi took Zhu Houzhao into his arms, stroked his black hair, and patted his head, just like he did when he was a child.

Emperor Hongzhi seldom hugged his son like this. He was too busy. There were so many messes waiting for him when he ascended the throne that he had no time to take care of his son. But this does not mean that he did not love his son.

"My son, don't cry, don't cry... Don't cry, your mother is still here, your mother is still here, your uncle is still here, they will accompany you."

"Don't cry, you have grown up and become a good child, don't cry."

Emperor Hongzhi burst into tears, looked up at the sky, and felt a severe pain in his heart.

Zhu Houzhao lay in the arms of Emperor Hongzhi and sobbed bitterly, while Empress Zhang kept wiping her tears, she was extremely sad.

The Zhang brothers also shed tears. The two brothers leaned on each other's shoulders and cried uncontrollably.

After all, Emperor Hongzhi is the pillar of all of them!
Now that the pillar of support is about to collapse, they all seem to be at a loss.

"Okay, okay." Emperor Hongzhi said, "I haven't left yet, have I?"

"I can still stay with you for a while, please don't let me down. If you do this, I won't feel at ease when I leave."

"Father...I, I love you!"

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and smiled, "How could I not love my son?"

"My son Houzhao is the most filial and sensible child in the world!"

"I am proud of you. I will be proud of you forever. Don't cry. Don't cry."

Chen Ce sighed slightly and advised Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad."

"There are still some days left, spend some time with the prince."

"Your Highness, please handle government affairs properly. Only in this way can the Emperor be at ease."

It was a huge blow to Zhu Houzhao to suddenly learn that the two most important people in his life were about to leave him!
After all, he was just a child, how could he face these things alone? He just wanted to be with his parents happily. It took him a long time to accept the news that Chen Ce was about to leave the world. He didn't want to see his father leave him again!
The moon in the sky is getting rounder and rounder, and people on earth are reunited, but only this time.
