In the imperial study room of the Zichen Palace, the emperor sat in front of the imperial case with a face of fury, while Eunuch Chang stood guard outside the main hall door, with his head bowed and his chest in his chest, his eyes, nose, nose and heart were in view, and he did not dare to make a sound.

One corner of the inkstone was smashed on the ground, and some blood was stained on it, and red and black spots were spread on the ground.Li Di knelt on the ground, with blood still oozing from his forehead.His hands were hanging by his sides, clenched into fists, and the knuckles of his knuckles were white.

The emperor lowered his voice and roared angrily, "The spy delivered the news to my desk! Shen Chu is not the son of Ning Yuanhou Shen Rong, but the son of your Nine Emperor Uncle and Shen Lang!"

"Look at you! Look at you! What have you done! You beast! He's your brother."

"Until now, you still don't repent! Do you think there is nothing I can do about you?!"

"It's a good thing for you to marry the princess of Xishan Kingdom, but you still dare to disobey me. If you don't want to marry you, get lost to Liangzhou!"

Li Di was also in a daze, completely unable to imagine how Shen Chu would become his Nine Emperor Uncle's son.Although King Yun has always taken good care of Shen Chu, especially recently, it is much better than his father and emperor not knowing about his own son. It is indeed easy to make people feel that Shen Chu is the son of King Yun who has been lost for many years. .

But King Yun was never married, and his only lover was a man, who had passed away long ago. Who could think of such a fantasy thing.

He would rather Shen Chu not be the biological son of King Yun, although such a thought is a bit selfish.But he and Shen Chu even have two children. One moment he thought he was the happiest and luckiest person in the world, but the next second he felt God's malice, the kind that wanted to press him to the ground and rub against him. malicious.

He will not give in even if he dies.

He lowered his brows and eyes, and every word was cast like black iron, "I am willing to guard the border and never return to Beijing forever." If he can't be with Shen Chu.

The emperor was so angry that he almost had a myocardial infarction. In a fit of anger, he brushed all the things on the imperial case to the ground.Leaning on the dragon chair, panting heavily, he pointed at Li Didao with trembling fingers, "Good! Good! Your wings are hardened, you little wolf cub, you think I can't do anything to you, right?!"

"Come on!"

When Eunuch Chang heard the call, he rushed to him and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon's body, and don't let your body get mad."

The emperor ignored him, and said sharply, "Draft an imperial edict for me to dispatch the fifth prince, Li Difa, to the border. Without the edict, he will never be allowed to return to Beijing."

Eunuch Chang said with a troubled face, "Your Majesty, think twice!"

The emperor said furiously, "Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Eunuch Chang trembled, and hurriedly stepped forward to polish the ink with his head respectful. Others spoke lightly and didn't dare to say more. A slave can only keep his duty as a slave.

The emperor broke an inkstone and had to grind the ink again, which took a little more time.

At this time, a palace official outside sang, "The empress dowager is here!"

Eunuch Chang glanced at the emperor, but he didn't dare to say more.The palace people outside dared not stop the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother glanced at the hall, Yun Danfeng smiled lightly, "Your Majesty is very angry——"

Eunuch Chang immediately moved a soft chair for the Queen Mother, and ordered the little eunuch outside to close the door of the main hall.

The Empress Dowager sat down meanderingly, and Madam Wan stood beside her, with her head lowered and her brows lowered, watching her nose, nose, and heart.

"What's wrong with Xiao Wu? His face is bloody and black, get up quickly, if you don't know, you will think that the two of you, father and son, have a lot of hatred and hatred."

Madam Wan stepped forward to help Li Di up, but she couldn't, so she had to glance at the queen mother, who then glanced at the emperor.

The Son of Heaven sat on the Dragon Throne, feeling much calmer, and snorted coldly, "Why, you have to be invited to get up?"

Li Di stood up.

The queen mother said lightly again, "Come on, there is no overnight feud between father and son, Xiao Wu, you should go back first, Aijia will talk to your father."

Eunuch Chang looked at the emperor again.

Although the Son of Heaven was still quite resentful, he always respected the Empress Dowager, and because of the empress dowager's affection, it was not easy to continue to attack, and said coldly, "You go back first, pack your things and prepare to go to Liangzhou."

Li Di lifted the hem of his clothes, and solemnly kowtowed three times to the emperor and the queen mother on the ground.

The queen mother smoothed things over again, "What is this for? Why is it so solemn? If you want to go back, go back first, and wait for His Majesty's order."

Li Di left the palace, his heart sank like a stone.At the moment when he was at war with the emperor in the Zichen Palace, he was really ready to guard the Liangzhou border and never return to the capital for the rest of his life.If he can't be with Shen Chu, what's the use of him staying here.If the emperor forced him to marry the princess of Xishan Kingdom, he would rather die in battle.

It's just that there are still Shen Chu and two children in this world, which made him worry about and miss him.

His feelings for the Son of Heaven are complicated, and he doesn't have the same admiration for his ordinary father, but it's not entirely resentment.Before the Son of Heaven was a father, he was an emperor first of all, with so many affairs in his harem, so many women and so many sons, there was very little love that could be allocated to him.

As far as his sons are concerned, he must either train them to be qualified heirs to the throne, or make them useful to the country, or at least not threaten the throne or the country. After that, they are his son.

But it is wrong to say that the Son of Heaven has no paternal love for them. After all, they are his own sons. The princes love less, and among these princes, the young princes who are favored by their mothers and concubines are more fond of the princes who can act like a baby.

For a prince like Li Di who has a cold personality, whose mother and concubine died early and was not favored, and who is not in the middle of nowhere, the love and affection he can get is very little.

But Li Di is good enough, and with the care of the queen mother, the emperor will not ignore this son, and he is proud of this son from the bottom of his heart.

Like many emperors in history, he tried his best to make all his sons live in peace after a hundred years, at least to survive in peace.Although, for many emperors, this is just a luxury.Born in the royal family, as a prince, he was born to be a tool in the struggle for power. Some are the pursuit and desire for the throne and power, and some are involuntary.

Li Di has always had admiration for his father, but now, the emperor has become the mountain between him and Shen Chu.But it cannot be completely said that it is because of the Son of Heaven, it can only be said to play tricks on people.

In the Zichen Hall, the Queen Mother slowly turned the beads in her hand, sighed, "Why do you bother these children? If Xiaowu doesn't want to marry the princess of Xishan Kingdom, then it's fine. If I, Yunmeng, rely on the prince and princess to survive , that is the loss of face of the ancestors."

The emperor said helplessly, "Queen Mother, this is not a matter of getting married. Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, he can't marry Xiao Chu!"

The empress dowager's heart shuddered, and she had already made some guesses, but she couldn't tell the emperor directly about the secrets of King Yun's life experience.She couldn't help wondering, why did the emperor get the news so quickly?

She tentatively asked, "But because of Xiaochu's male status?"

The emperor shook his head, "Although the prince marries a man, it doesn't bring much face to my royal family, but after all, Xiao Chu was pregnant with Xiao Wu's child as a man. It's not that I can't accept Xiao Chu's male identity."

"But, Empress, I received news from spies at my desk a few days ago, saying that Shen Chu is, is, the child of Ninth Brother and Shen Lang."

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Shen Lang and Xiao Chu could conceive and have children as men, which is really rare in the world."

"In this way, Xiao Wu is Xiao Chu's cousin, how can they be together?!"

The Empress Dowager's thoughts changed, she knew that there must be someone playing tricks behind her back, the enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark, so don't act too hastily for a while, this is the only way in life, it all depends on acting skills, the surprise on her face is not pretending at all, "This, this is actually true of?!"

"The first time the Ai family saw Xiao Chu, they felt that they were destined for each other. Your silly ninth brother thought that this child was like that boy from the Shen family, so he cared for him in every possible way, but the Ai family immediately recognized the similarity between this child and your ninth brother. They are very similar, especially the nose, lips, and the single dimple at the corner of the mouth. The temperament is also very similar. Even the cub, the single dimple is born exactly the same."

"That's why the Ai family and the child Xiao Chu also hit it off quite well. But I never imagined that the boy from the Shen family, as a man, would be able to have a child, and even gave birth to such a child for your ninth brother!"

As he said that, he couldn't help wiping his tears with his handkerchief, "Since that kid from the Shen family was gone, His Majesty has seen what your ninth younger brother has been up to these years. Everyone in the world says his fate is good, and he is the most wealthy and idle person, but sad From a family point of view, he is not as good as ordinary couples." Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager was really sad, and the tears couldn't be stopped, and the tears became more and more turbulent.

The emperor was a little flustered.He had never seen the empress dowager cry like this before, even after the death of the first emperor, he just wiped away his tears a few times.Although he is not the empress dowager's own son, he was raised under the empress dowager's knees since he was a child, and he did not know his life experience until he was very old, and the empress dowager has always taken care of him well. Although it is not as good as pampering King Yun, he should have the love and care Never less.

And without the support of the queen mother and the Deng family behind him, he would not be able to inherit the throne smoothly.Therefore, he really respected the Queen Mother as his own mother, and he had a lot of respect for the Queen Mother, and he also had a bit of admiration, so seeing the Queen Mother crying so hard, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

He could only comfort him clumsily, "Isn't it a good thing that Xiaochu is the child of the ninth brother? In the future, the ninth brother will not need to be alone and have a child serving under his knees. It will be much better than before. The queen mother should be happy. "

"I just appointed Xiao Chu as Prince Yun's son. After he moves to Prince Yun's residence, the Prince Yun's residence will also be lively in the future."

Speaking of Shen Chu, the empress dowager couldn't help but burst into tears again, "This poor grandson of the Ai family is also suffering. He lost his mother since he was a child. Although he was taken care of by Li Yunniang, it is different after all. , Shen Rong, who is not kind, treated their mother and child badly, so he was kicked out of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. It took a lot of hardship outside to support the three of them."

"It's hard to fall in love with someone now, not only can't we be together, His Majesty also insists on making them fight against each other."

"Your Majesty doesn't feel bad, but Ai's family does. They are the good grandsons of Ai's family. It's fine if they can't get married, but if Ai's family is still alive, His Majesty can't drive Xiao Wu out of the capital."

"The Ai family is old, and they don't want to do anything. They just want their children and grandchildren to be around their knees and enjoy the family happiness. When the old bones of the Ai family are gone, you can do whatever you want, and no one can control you. .”

The Son of Heaven was quite helpless, but what the Empress Dowager said was harsh, and she was really angry at the time. After she calmed down, she also felt that they were father and son after all, and there was no such thing as deep hatred, and they had to be so old and dead.

But he agreed directly, as if he couldn't lose face, and changed the subject, "This Xishan country is sincerely married, and it happens that Xiao Wu is not married, so it's hard to justify not agreeing."

The queen mother wiped away her tears and said unreasonably, "Ai family sees that this old man is pretty good. Didn't the fourth child also win a leader in riding and shooting? I think the princess of Xishan Kingdom is also satisfied."

The emperor wondered, "But, but hasn't this fourth child already married a wife?"

The queen mother continued to use her nonsense skills, "There are more than one or two in the fourth son's house. Let the princess of Xishan Kingdom and this Tang family be equal wives together, and it will not humiliate anyone."

The emperor wanted to say more, but the queen mother cried again, "You are a cruel father, and the Ai family can't bear it. Xiao Wu grew up in front of the Ai family. The Ai family understands this child's temper best. , Carved out of the same mold as you, rather than surrender, what he doesn't want to do, even if His Majesty forces him to death, he won't be willing."

"No matter how stubborn he is, he is still a child. Are you so cruel, Your Majesty?"

"It's just a princess of a small country, why should I date a grandson of the Ai family."

The queen mother's words are also very unreasonable, as if the fifth prince is her grandson, but the fourth prince is not.But then again, everyone cares about different things. The Fourth Prince really doesn't mind marrying a princess of Xishan Kingdom, and Concubine Feng doesn't mind either. The one who is most displeased is probably the Princess Tang.But she didn't dare to offend the emperor and the queen mother, besides, the fourth prince was not a devoted one at all, a princess of a country would give a title to a flat wife, and she would not really let her be the housekeeper, and it would not hinder her affairs at all.

The Son of Heaven is also getting old. The older this person is, the more likely he is to soften his heart, especially towards his own young and old.He sighed, "Then do as the queen mother said."

"It's just Xiao Wu and Xiao Chu, I will never agree."

The queen mother also sighed, feeling that she seemed to be much older, she compromised and said, "The Ai family knows."

Talked to the emperor again, told him to pay attention to his body, and asked Wan Momo to help him back to the Qingshou Hall.After such a toss, the emotional ups and downs were too great, and it took too much effort, but it was quite exhausting.

Madam Wan persuaded, "Queen Mother, don't worry too much about it, the grandchildren here have their own blessings."

The Empress Dowager lay on the couch, and Mama Wan rubbed her temples with her, and couldn't relax between her brows, "Hey, it's all a bad fate—"

Madam Wan had a gentle face, "The word of love is the most difficult to penetrate. I think that Old General Feng was so infatuated with you, miss, that if you just say a word from you, he would be smashed to pieces and dare to be loved by the world." Not for."

The queen mother sighed melancholy, "That's a fool, Xiao Jiu is also so stupid, hey, it's really embarrassing and sad."

"Aijia is not stupid. It would be great if he didn't enter the palace at the beginning. He agreed to Feng Xian's marriage proposal. I'm afraid life will be much easier."

"It's just that, in this world, there is no turning back—"
