Ever since it was revealed that He Jinxi was the sage of Yinmen, Emperor Shenglin seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, and he looked exhausted and battered all day long, making all the officials look worried.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Xiao, the cabinet ministers deliberated and decided to bring up the matter of establishing a reserve.

After all, this was something that Emperor Shenglin had been urging them to do before. Although the original candidate for the crown prince had to be removed, he had to apply for a new one.

After all, establishing a reserve is a national event.

All the ministers in the cabinet carefully asked about Emperor Shenglin's establishment of the crown prince, but Emperor Shenglin was not interested at all, and only said a few perfunctory words later.

Seeing his appearance, everyone advised him to take care of his dragon body, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

This delay lasted for ten days and half a month, and He Jinxi and the others were still missing.

He Yuancheng became more and more anxious when he saw that the matter of establishing a reserve proposed by his grandfather and the others had not been resolved.

"Mother and concubine, what do you mean by father? Without He Jinxi and He Yuanming, why is he hesitating?!" He Yuancheng clenched his fists angrily, "Could it be that he still has the idea of ​​establishing a reserve for He Jinxi?!"

Concubine Li hurriedly comforted him, "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty was just hurt by him, and he will definitely not have the intention to make him the crown prince. Besides, even if Your Majesty did, the royal relatives and ministers would not agree to it." .”

He Yuancheng was slightly annoyed by what he said, so he sat at the table and took a sip of tea, "I haven't been able to find He Jinxi, and if I delay for another day, I feel anxious."

"Don't talk about you, even my mother and concubine feel scared." Concubine Li Gui felt aggrieved, "The sage of the Yin family has pretended to be sick and entered the palace for so long, thinking of all the past, thinking that there is such a person hiding beside us, I just can't sleep at night."

He Yuancheng nodded, and deeply agreed, "Then what should we do now?"

Concubine Li Gui thought for a while, then patted his hand, "He Jinxi's identity is sensitive, and he has lied to your father for so long. With your father's character, it is kindness not to kill him. He will never have another chance." If I compete with you for the throne, I will inherit the throne to you no matter what."

"It's the fact that he has been hit because of He Jinxi during this time, and he is sleepy all day long. You have to take this opportunity to please him."

He Yuancheng was a little impatient, "I'm the only prince who can be the crown prince. Do I have to please my father like that now? Besides, it's better if my father continues to do this. If he goes directly, then I will be the emperor immediately."

Concubine Li's eyes widened when she heard the words, and she slapped He Yuancheng with a "slap", "Your father treats you well on weekdays, how could you say such a thing!"

He Yuancheng was startled, Concubine Li Gui had never hit him at all, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Mother and concubine, calm down, my son... my son is just resentful. He Jinxi is so unknown, but the emperor insists on making him the crown prince. It is too partial."

Concubine Li was slightly taken aback, thinking that she and He Yuancheng had been plotting against each other for many years, and she couldn't help being resentful when she thought that she was still inferior to an illegitimate child from outside.

"That can't curse your father, you can be charged with disloyalty and filial piety."

He Yuancheng hastily admitted his mistake, "My boy knows his mistake, my boy knows his mistake."

Concubine Li Gui sighed, "Forget it, get up, no matter what, he is your royal father."

Even though she said this, she also thought in her heart that if Emperor Shenglin went at this time, it would be in the best interest for her and He Yuancheng.

Concubine Li rolled her eyes, she didn't say what was in her heart, and continued, "You remember what my concubine said, not only to please, but also to be more attentive than before. The crown prince is not yours for a day, so you have to listen to concubine mother." Do what you say."

He Yuancheng pursed his lips, although he was a little reluctant, he still responded, "Okay."

After hearing Concubine Li's words, the two served Emperor Shenglin more diligently than before, but they did not restore Emperor Shenglin's condition at all.

"I've always felt heart palpitations recently, as if something big is about to happen."

Emperor Cheng Lin waved his hand, but did not take the ginseng tea offered by Concubine Li Gui, "You keep it, I will drink it later."

"This...well, Your Majesty." Concubine Li Gui put the ginseng tea on the small table, "Your Majesty, what is it that makes you so uneasy."

"I don't know either." Emperor Cheng Lin pressed his temple, and let Concubine Li hold his shoulders for him.

"Looking at Your Majesty, I'm really worried." Concubine Li's eyes were red, and she looked very pitifully.

But at this moment, Emperor Shenglin didn't have the thought of pity for the fragrance and the jade, and said exhaustedly, "You go back first, I still have some memorials to read."

Concubine Li was taken aback, and said reluctantly, "Your Majesty is so late, do you still want to approve the memorial?"

Emperor Cheng Lin didn't say anything, but just waved his hand.

His expression of obvious refusal blocked what Concubine Li Gui wanted to say, so he could only pursed his lips and withdrew reluctantly.

After Concubine Li left, Emperor Shenglin summoned the chief eunuch.

"His Majesty."

"Pour out this bowl of ginseng tea." Emperor Chenglin said lightly, without any emotion.

The chief eunuch glanced at the ginseng tea brought by Concubine Li herself, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the chief eunuch left the hall, Emperor Chenglin raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the empty young couple, and pinched the center of his brows wearily.

Candles are flickering in the empty hall, and the cool night breeze overflows from the window sills, adding a touch of loneliness.

"It is said that the emperor is a loner, and I really am a loner." Emperor Chenglin laughed at himself, his eyes were full of loneliness and desolation.

He suddenly thought of the past, from the empress to Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, to the newly born eldest prince, second prince, and third princess, and also to the girl who fascinated him during those nights in the south of the Yangtze River.

With her beautiful face and gentleness like water, she wrapped his heart like a trickle, making him unforgettable all his life.

Emperor Chenglin recalled so far, the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised slightly, and a little bit of joy was revealed in his eyes.

He has had many women of all kinds in his life, and he has more or less liked them and treated them kindly, but as an emperor, while loving and pampering him, he can always maintain some restraint and rationality.

Only that Jiangnan woman made him get carried away, forget all the responsibilities and burdens, and just want to hold hands with her for the rest of his life.

On the first night with her, he made up his mind that, regardless of everyone's opposition, he must take her to the palace, allow her to be a concubine, and love her for the rest of his life.

But she has always said that she does not seek status, does not seek eternity, and does not want to embarrass him.

The more she is like this, the more Emperor Chenglin can't help himself, and wants to give her all the good things.

It's a pity that that love affair was too short, when he found out that she was pregnant, she left a letter to fear that he would be embarrassing and left voluntarily, and disappeared without a trace.

If he hadn't kept the sachet embroidered by her, I'm afraid he would have thought that all of this was a dream of Nankey, a dream of Liu Sheng.

In the next 20 years, after exhaustive searching, when I got news of her again, the beauty passed away, leaving only one child who inherited her appearance.

After he confirmed the child's identity, he was ecstatic, and turned years of guilt and longing into love and affection for the child.

In particular, the child was seriously ill and his life and death were unknown, which made him feel sorry and heartbroken.

But now, the child has become the leader of the organization he fears the most and wants to get rid of quickly, and he is defeated in one blow.

The identity of the child is so, then who is she?

Why did her child become like this?

Emperor Cheng Lin's mind was in a mess, he felt that everything seemed to be an illusion, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

In a daze, a figure appeared in front of Emperor Chenglin's eyes, gradually overlapping with the person in his memory, gradually becoming clearly visible...
