Xuan Zheng seemed not to notice the emperor's face which looked as if he had been stained with soot. As soon as he entered the room, he ran to Lin Chengyu and asked about her well-being.

Like a little daughter-in-law.

The emperor's face turned even darker.

Xuan Zheng is just a brat in front of him. When has he ever been so considerate? Now he is treating an outsider like this.

It really pissed him off.

Wu Yong was burned by the emperor's anger and dared not breathe. Cold sweat appeared on his face and back.

He tried his best to wink at the little ancestor, but his eyelids were twitching, and Xuan Zheng didn't see anything.

In fact, Xuan Zheng didn't even look at him, his eyes were all on Lin Chengyu.

Lin Chengyu held back her laughter.

The emperor looked at Xuan Zheng with a nervous look, but he held back and didn't scold him.

Since there are outsiders present, we should still give this bastard some face.

Lin Chengyu was afraid that the person with a gloomy face above would get angry and pass out, so she patted Xuan Zheng's hand and asked him to calm down.

Xuan Zheng then pulled Lin Chengyu to sit on the chair, and the palace maids served tea and snacks.

Lin Chengyu couldn't help but sigh that Xuan Zheng was indeed very much loved by the emperor.

I have been standing here for a long time without even having a sip of tea. When he came, the table was almost full of space.

Although the emperor still had a gloomy face, seeing that Xuan Zheng was sweating, Wu Yong had already guessed his thoughts before he even opened his mouth.

"Quick, add an ice basin to the prince's place..."

The emperor was very satisfied in his heart, but he still looked angry.

Xuan Zheng was still angry, and he didn't pay attention for a moment, so he let his brother bring Cheng Yu into the palace.

He rode as fast as he could along the way, fearing that if he was a little late, Chengyu would get more injuries.

Even if he wasn't injured, Xuan Zheng felt heartbroken just thinking about being scolded.

He knew Chengyu's temper too well. To his brother, the emperor...

Xuan Zheng just thought about it, and all he could think of was Cheng Yu's pitiful appearance of being beaten and punished.

Fortunately, he came in time.

Thinking of this, Xuan Zheng glared at the person above him. This look was full of anger and resentment, which directly annoyed the emperor.

The emperor slammed the table, and the palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they were silent. "What do you mean by this? Am I going to eat him?"

Xuan Zheng thought that was not necessarily the case, but he said, "No way, I wouldn't dare."

The emperor's expression eased slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Is there anything you dare not do?"

Although the emperor is an elder brother to Xuan Zheng, he is more like a father.

His mother passed away when he was born, and it was because of his elder brother's careful care over the years that he is where he is today.

Although Xuan Zheng was angry that he brought Cheng Yuxuan into the palace without telling him, he didn't dare to make him too angry.

"What are you talking about, my brother? I was just out of my mind." Xuan Zheng laughed heartlessly, which made the emperor lose his last bit of anger. "My brother, please don't bear grudges. Don't bother with me."

The emperor snorted, and Xuan Zheng knew that the matter was over.

Wu Yong also breathed a sigh of relief. If what happened today happened to any other prince, he would have been furious. He would never have raised the issue so high and then put it down so easily.

Even the princes were very cautious in front of the emperor.

It’s no wonder that those concubines are resentful. The emperor is so tolerant to the prince, and their sons and daughters combined are not half as good as the prince. How can they not be afraid?

If the emperor really wanted to establish a crown prince, there was no telling what kind of chaos would happen in the court and the harem.

Wu Yong suddenly started to wake up and quickly put away the rebellious thoughts in his mind.

Now that the emperor is in his prime, no one dares to mention the issue of appointing a crown prince. Whoever dares to show up will be dealt with.

Now the military power in the capital is in Xuan Zheng’s hands, which was given to him by the emperor.

Even though many people are puzzled as to why the emperor would hand over the military power to a prince, isn't he afraid of rebellion?

The emperor is naturally not afraid.

Among the tens of millions of subjects in the world, the only one he can trust wholeheartedly is Xuan Zheng.

This is a child with a pure heart.

It's just very infuriating sometimes.

The emperor looked around the table, picked up a fruit and threw it over. Xuan Zheng caught it, took a bite, and said, "The fruit my brother gave me is really sweet."

"What a smooth talker! I wonder who you learned this from." The emperor glanced at Lin Chengyu, his meaning was very clear.

Lin Chengyu: “…”

Okay, okay, all the bad things were learned from him, and all the good things are Xuan Zheng’s own.

Don't be too obvious about protecting your child.

Lin Chengyu pushed Xuan Zheng's hand away and said, "Eat it yourself."

Xuan Zheng didn't think there was anything strange about it, as they usually got along like this.

But the emperor didn't know. When he looked at Lin Chengyu now, he felt that there were four big words written on his face.

Don't know what is good or bad.

Who is Xuan Zheng?

That was the Prince of Linhuai, who was second only to the emperor and was his younger brother who was raised by him. He had never enjoyed such treatment, and this little bastard actually dared to refuse.

He really doesn't know what's good for him.

The emperor was filled with sourness, and the anger that had just been extinguished was ignited again by Lin Chengyu's unintentional action.

At this moment, a palace maid came to pour tea. After seeing Lin Chengyu's face, she was distracted for a moment and didn't even notice that the tea spilled.

The tea flowed down the edge of the cup onto the table, and Lin Chengyu coughed lightly.

The maid came to her senses immediately, packed up her things in a panic, bent her legs, knelt down and began to apologize.

His skinny body was swaying like a rootless duckweed, but his face showed a toughness that made people admire him.

Lin Chengyu frowned and looked at her, feeling something was wrong.

Just now, she looked at him with a very strange look, as if she knew him but didn't dare to recognize him.

Very contradictory.

The palace maid had her head lowered so low that Lin Chengyu couldn't see her appearance clearly, but he already had a guess in his mind.

Xuan Zheng frowned and waved his hand to let someone go.

The maid was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she would be asked to leave directly.

Shouldn't we find out the reason before making any decision?

If she is allowed to step down like this, how will she perform next?

Xuan Zheng's voice was a little cold, "Why don't you step down? How long are you going to kneel here?"

The palace maid trembled, knowing that this was not a good time, and quickly retreated.

Wu Yong lowered his eyes, his mind as clear as a mirror.

Lin Chengyu was bored and was about to leave when Xuan Zheng asked, "Brother, what do you think about that matter?"

The emperor glared at him, "Why are you so anxious?"

I have never seen Xuan Zheng take anything so seriously before.

How could Xuan Zheng not be anxious when it comes to Lin Chengyu? "I think my proposal is very good, my brother, please don't think about it anymore."

The emperor had actually already thought about it. Seeing Xuan Zheng's anxious look, he felt relieved and wanted to tease him.

"I think this matter is of great importance and needs careful consideration." The emperor glanced at the confused Lin Chengyu and said calmly, "Wait a minute, we'll talk about it in a few days."

Xuan Zheng looks tall and strong, but he is actually still young.

Normally, he shows one face to outsiders, but now that everyone in the palace is his own people, he shows another face.

"I don't care. If you don't agree, I won't leave today."

He is actually cheating.
