I don’t know since when, some rumors gradually spread in Yongan City. Today's Holy Emperor, I'm afraid his time is running out. Although the emperor still seems to be in good health, he is already old and cannot withstand any more hardships.

But there are various signs that the dragon energy in Li Yunfeng has reached a certain level. There can only be one true dragon emperor in this world, and it is clear who will go and who will stay.

The prince, whose days are short, and the third prince, who has lost the ability to have children, no matter how outstanding they are on weekdays, cannot compete with Li Yunfeng. If you think about it carefully, the only person who can prevent Li Yunfeng from ascending to the throne now is the emperor himself.

Therefore, many people feel that the current emperor's days are probably numbered, and it is time to free up the emperor's seat for the second prince.

"Asshole! Come here! Find out for me, where did this rumor come from?"

After hearing the news from the people below, the emperor suddenly blushed with anger and lost his usual amiable look. Yes, given his age, everyone knows that he cannot continue to be the emperor forever, and there will always be a time when the throne will be passed on.

But it's one thing for him to take the initiative to pass, and it's another thing for him to be forced to pass. If it weren't for the fact that Li Yunfeng was the only son he had left to pass on the Li family's bloodline, he would have had murderous intentions long ago.

"Where is the second prince? This rumor has been spreading in Yong'an City, but he has not taken any action and allowed these people to talk nonsense?"

Faced with the emperor's questioning, the group of people responsible for inquiring about the news were in trouble. They originally wanted to say a few good words to the second prince and deal with the matter as soon as possible. But facing the emperor's horrifying expression, they decided to tell the truth:

"Back to the emperor, the second prince seems not to know about the rumors. He has been busy meeting with ministers for several days and has no chance to know about such things."

Hearing that the second prince was busy meeting with the ministers of the court, the emperor's face became increasingly ugly. He is just old, not dead. Could it be that Li Yunfeng felt that he had no other choice but to pass the throne to him, so he did not take him seriously?

"Here comes someone! Pass on my instructions and ask the Second Prince Li Yunfeng to come see me as soon as possible!"

Not long after, Li Yunfeng hurried over. He was dressed in fine clothes, his face was very rosy, and he was a little fatter than a few months ago.

In the past, the emperor would not have thought anything of it. But after hearing such rumors among the people, he could no longer calm down, and the look in his eyes at Li Yunfeng became increasingly unpleasant.

"My father suddenly announced that his son will enter the palace, but what do you want to say?"

Li Yunfeng pretended to be close and asked falsely. In the past, the emperor was the most disliked by him. Seeing Li Yunfeng so close to him, he couldn't help but feel guilty for what he had done back then.

No matter what the Wen family did, his son was innocent after all. Yunfeng was born in the cold palace. If Li Jiayi, the aunt, didn't want to see his nephew suffer and took him out, he would have died long ago. In the cold palace.

But after hearing those rumors, the guilt in the emperor's heart completely disappeared, replaced by malicious conjectures. Li Yunfeng's closeness to him was all pretense. Not only does he not respect and love his father, he also regards his father as his enemy.

The poisoned prince, the third prince who suffered from lazy man's disease, and those princes and princesses who died in infancy may all be behind the scenes caused by Li Yunfeng and the Wen family.

The emperor realized that Li Yunfeng had forced him to a dead end. If she had the intention to kill him, the Li family would be completely wiped out, and the country they had worked so hard to win would have no choice but to make wedding dresses for others.

But if you allow him to continue like this, he might even be able to kill his father. If this is the case, how will he face the ancestors of the Li family after his death, and how can he sleep peacefully underground.

wrong! His last hope is the child in the belly of the third prince's concubine Duan Qinglian. No matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, as long as he is born smoothly and grows up safely, he is the blood of the Li family.

Now, as an emperor, he no longer needs to be patient with Li Yunfeng. All he had to do was find a suitable excuse to detain him and save his life.

So, the emperor forced himself to calm down, pretended to be amiable, and said to Li Yunfeng:

"Yunfeng, I am really old, and I miss these princes so much. The prince and Yun Li are okay, they all live in the palace, and I can see them if I want. Only you live alone in the palace, It’s not easy to see you on weekdays.”

Since the emperor said so, Li Yunfeng took advantage of the situation and said:

"Father, why didn't you say this earlier? In this way, I will come to the palace every two days to chat and play chess with you. Then, don't think I am too annoying."

From then on, the second prince Li Yunfeng often visited the emperor's palace. When the people in the palace saw it, they couldn't help but secretly thought, this second prince is really lucky.

His biological mother was of low status, she was born in a cold palace, and she lived in the eldest princess's palace for many years, but none of this could affect his current status in the emperor's heart.

Unknowingly, the attitude towards Li Yunfeng from top to bottom in the palace changed greatly. Everyone knew that it was certain that the second prince would become emperor, and all he needed to do now was wait patiently.

However, not long after, news came out from the palace that Li Yunfeng was sent to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. It is said that he tried to poison the emperor's wine. Fortunately, the emperor's father-in-law discovered it in time and saved the emperor's life.

For a time, Yong'an City was in chaos. Those ministers who had chosen to stand behind Li Yunfeng stayed behind closed doors, fearing that the emperor would find out their connection with the second prince.

Officials like Xu Shihuan who did not take sides were in the minority. Mr. Xiao, the Minister of Punishment, had long been a supporter of Li Yunfeng, and was now so frightened that he did not dare to take up the post.

When he saw Xu Shihuan coming, he suddenly found his savior, half pleading and half commanding:

"Master Xiao Xu, I leave the task of interrogating the second prince to you."

Xu Shihuan pretended to be embarrassed and was not in a hurry to agree. Seeing her like this, Mr. Xiao was defeated after all:

"Shi Huan, just think of it as doing your uncle a favor and go to the Second Prince to show your face. To tell you the truth, the Emperor is indeed angry with the Second Prince right now, but now besides the Second Prince, the entire Wanhua Kingdom is also looking for him. There is no second suitable candidate to inherit the throne."

"So, when you go to interrogate him later, just stop talking. Don't really compete with the second prince. He can hold a grudge."

After hearing this, Xu Shihuan smiled and said happily, "I understand."
