Gu Xi waved his hand directly, seemingly unwilling to say more.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but become more flustered.
Yet Gu Xi remained silent and promptly sent everyone out before going to see Liu Bao.
"Grand Tutor... is it true that Father... has passed away?" The eleven-year-old Liu Bao, his face full of grief.
Gu Xi looked at him with a solemn expression and nodded slowly, "Crown Prince, there is no need for excessive sorrow."
"Tonight, Your Highness must remember to rest well."
"Perhaps tomorrow will be the day Your Highness ascends the throne.
The throne?
These two words, both familiar and unfamiliar, suddenly surged in Liu Bao's heart.
He stared blankly at Gu Xi and asked, puzzled, "Isn't Father going to depose me?"
"It was just a falsified decree."
Gu Xi smiled faintly, looking firmly at Liu Bao, "With me here, Great Han will not fall into chaos."
Liu Bao gazed blankly at Gu Xi, and out of absolute trust in him, he nodded.
