"I think.... I'm the abnormal star he was talking about." After a long moment of silence, Qi Mingyue's soft voice resonated in the HyunTian palace.
"Did you think I wouldn't know? My son." Qi Xutian placed the small body on his bed, and kissed his cheek.
Qi Mingyue couldn't help but be surprised, "As an Emperor, the best thing for you to do right now is to order me to die."
"Do you know why I requested for the grandmaster for your hundredth day celebration?" Qi Xutian laid down, letting Qi Mingyue lie on his chest, "For you. The hundredth day celebration was for you."
"For me? It isn't traditional in CangHe? "
He didn't think that Qi Xutian had already noticed his abnormality, and thought he could put up with this pretence. Moreover, he wouldn't have guessed that his father was this type of a person.
"You have to know, no matter how different you are, in this life, you are my son. No matter what, your father will protect you." Qi Xutian's look in his eyes touched him. Even while talking to him, he didn't use honorary words for himself .
"Even if I have the power to cause calamity, kill my own mother, and be destined to never have any descendants, meaning there is no way for the royal bloodline to continue?" To the prince, any one of these reasons would have been good enough for an Emperor to give up on him.
Qi Xutian laughed out loud, "Let the calamity come then, when was the world peaceful anyways? Killing your mother I have no problem with, but about the descendants..." Seeing Qi Mingyue's cute face when he tried to be serious, he laughed even more, "You think I care about the royal bloodline? In this world, it's always been a battle of the fittest! What does MingEr think?"
"You're definitely a heartless one..." His mother to him is probably just another woman in the harem, "seems like if one day I really do kill my mother, you wouldn't even shed a tear."
"You care about her?" Pausing for a second, Qi Xutian continued: "Ann Ruolan is definitely treating you well, doing things without leaving traces just for you, she swept away all possible dangers."
Qi Mingyue remembered the missing servant girl, "Mother treats me very well. But it's not like that. I don't think anyone would like to kill their own mother."
Not knowing what Qi Xutian was thinking about, he sighed, "If one day, you must kill her..."
"I won't let her die in my hands."
"And then?"
"And then? I'll continue to live my life of course," he gave a soft sneer, "Don't forget, I am the abnormal star after all. Other than this body, I don't have any relations with her. Unless you want me to die for her?" Moreover, his mother wasn't a weak women either. She definitely has a little motherly love for him. A little for his future, he knew this, but didn't really care.
"You're really ruthless...." Saying that, the glimmer of amusement in Qi Xutian's eyes meant approval. He knew that the child in front of him was just like him. Not someone weak.
"Not ruthless, just different." Qi Mingyue never considered himself ruthless, but he wasn't kind and merciful either.
Listening to him, Qi Xutian laughed, "MingEr is just like me, no wonder I like you", patting the child on his chest, he closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about, "I don't know if in your eyes, I am like your mother. Someone to toss behind?"
Qi Mingyue couldn't help it, his small body shifted slightly on Qi Xutian's chest, overlooking his face, "In this body, your blood runs in my veins, but I'm not your son. You don't mind that?"
