The old emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, and even took it for granted.Because the daughter who has never met is no different from other women in the palace, and it is even more exciting to play, after all, I still know that there is a blood relationship between the two.He woke up from the eldest princess's bed as if nothing had happened, and then asked the maid to change his clothes to accompany the queen to have breakfast, without even looking at the eldest princess from the beginning to the end.However, he remembered what his ancestors said that the children born in this way had high IQs and were often different from ordinary people, so he added a lot of palace people to the eldest princess's bedroom, and asked them to "serve" the eldest princess so that they could give birth as soon as possible. one emperor.

The eldest princess wanted to commit suicide countless times, but was stopped by the palace guards.She lost her freedom completely, more than before.Later, she didn't know how she survived it, but she actually lived to the day of giving birth, and gave birth to a baby boy smoothly.But she knew that this child should not have been born, and she didn't want him to know her own background, so she entrusted the only maid who stayed with her from beginning to end to send him out of the palace.They were worried that the emperor would find out that the child had been replaced, but they didn't expect that the queen who knew about this absurd thing would directly send someone to set fire to the Chonghua Palace, so the eldest princess laughed and died in the fire.

She thought it was perfect.

The child was put into a basin by the court lady, and then thrown into the river outside the king's city, so that his life and death depended on God's will.The maid does not want this child to survive, after all, as long as this child is alive, the chances of this incident will be much higher.But as soon as she thought that this was the hope of the eldest princess to live, she had no way to do it, so she left his life and death to God's choice.But fortunately, God has the virtue of good life. The old lady of the Jiang family happened to be offering incense in a temple outside the Wangcheng. Walking by the river, she heard a servant say that a baby was picked up from the river, so she adopted it without thinking. , and because it was evening at that time, it was named Jiang Muyu.

The old lady liked Jiang Muyu very much.Mrs. Jiang passed away not long ago, and the old lady knew that her son would not be reborn, so she came to burn incense and worship Buddha, and wanted to ask about the future of the Jiang family. .Besides, she had just made a wish to the Bodhisattva and said that she hoped that the Jiang family would be more popular, and this child appeared in front of her, so the old woman always felt that the Bodhisattva promised her this child.So even if Jiang Muyu was later found out to be a fool, the old lady didn't dislike him at all, instead she carefully planned his way out.

But the world is impermanent, just like what the maid thought, Rong Zuoxiang paid attention when he first saw Jiang Muyu, because he looked too much like the eldest princess.Later, it was found out that Jiang Muyu was adopted by the old lady, so he sent people to investigate carefully, and finally got confirmation from the eldest princess's close maid that Jiang Muyu was the evil seed born by the eldest princess.Zuoxiang Rong was the elder brother of Empress Rong. At that time, the two brothers and sisters had a close relationship, and Empress Rong was deeply favored, so when she found out that the emperor had raped her daughter, she ran back angrily to complain to Zuorong Rong. She persuaded her to return to the palace.After Empress Rong returned to the palace, she burned the Chonghua Palace, and the emperor didn't investigate it carefully, so he thought it was all over.After Jiang Muyu appeared, he realized how naive he was back then.

"Father—"

Liu Ziming shouted in a daze, but didn't know what to say next.It turns out that the person he has always regarded as a hero and admired is so filthy?Feeling endless pain in his heart, Liu Ziming squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

"So this Jiang Zongbing can't stay," Rong Zuoxiang bowed his head and said indifferently, "Baiyu has always passed down a secret decree that any prince born in this way can directly become the next emperor. If Jiang Zongbing knows his life experience, Seizing power is not bad, but I am afraid that he will rebel with the army in his hand—"

"Jiang Muyu won't do that," Xiao Xiao looked at Zuoxiang Rong fiercely. He had just recovered from the shock that Jiang Muyu was the prince and had such a background, "Besides, what you said is true. ? What evidence do you have? And what is the secret decree, how did you know the content of the secret decree?"

The secret decree was fabricated by Prime Minister Rong Zuo, in order to force Liu Ziming to make a quick decision.But at this time Xiao Xiao questioned him as Zuo Xiang, but he didn't panic, but calmly presented Liu Ziming with the thing he had been holding in his hand.

"There is a portrait of the eldest princess among them, as well as the confession of the maid. If the prince doesn't believe it, he can directly summon the maid for questioning."

The portrait of the eldest princess was unfolded and placed in front of Liu Ziming. He glanced at the face that was [-]% similar to Jiang Muyu, and his eyelashes trembled three times.Liu Ziming did not speak, and was silent for a long time. He waved to the two of them as if he had lost all his strength.Xiao Xiao wanted to say something, but Liu Ziming had already turned around and went deeper into the hall.She wanted to catch up, but Xiao Xiao was helplessly blocked by the guards and could only leave the palace.He gritted his teeth watching Rong Zuoxiang's leaving back, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.Stumbling, her eyes glazed over, Xiao Xiao staggered and fell to her knees when she saw Wu Lin waiting outside the palace.

"It's over," Xiao Xiao showed a smile uglier than crying, with tears in the corners of her eyes and trembling lips, "This time it's really over..."

Overwhelmed with worry, and with injuries on her body, Xiao Xiao fell ill all of a sudden, lying on the bed unable to move.The brain was very dizzy, Xiao Xiao tried desperately to get up and save Jiang Muyu, but she couldn't command with half a finger.Wu Lin was even more desperate now. After all, if even Xiao Xiao fell, who else in the world could save the boss?So in the end he even thought about taking the risk of entering the palace, and holding the prince hostage.

Fortunately, within a few days, Liu Ziming reported that Xiao Xiao had entered the palace again.

Fortunately, one more day, Wu Lin would have to do the impossible thing.He hurriedly carried Xiao Xiao, who was barely moving, on his back, and then explained the situation to the palace man who sent the message, expressing the hope that he could go with him.Where have the palace people seen this?In the end, he reluctantly nodded, saying that they should go first, and wait for the emperor's order to see if he is allowed to enter the palace.

Fortunately, Liu Ziming still cared about Xiao Xiao, not only allowed Wu Lin to follow, but also invited an imperial doctor for Xiao Xiao first.It's just that the diagnosis result is no different from before, all because of too much worry.Liu Ziming knew the reason, so he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, because Xiao Xiao valued Jiang Muyu so much.Therefore, he didn't want to hide from Xiao Xiao anymore, and planned to explain his thoughts to Xiao Xiao.

"Although I was hit hard that day, I won't do anything to Jiang Muyu," Liu Ziming sighed, "You don't have to worry about the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. He will naturally be released and let him return to the position of chief soldier." .”

what! ?

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Liu Ziming who had changed his mind in disbelief.At this moment, he no longer wondered why Liu Ziming, who wanted to kill Jiang Muyu before, suddenly let Jiang Muyu go, but he was really grateful to Liu Ziming for letting them go.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Xiao Xiao was so excited that she was at a loss, and it seemed that all the strength in her body had returned at this moment, and her legs softened and she fell to her knees.Liu Ziming helped him up with a wry smile, and was about to say something when a little eunuch stumbled in and knelt at Liu Ziming's feet.Liu Ziming was shocked when he saw this, as if he had encountered something terrible, his face was so pale that even his lips lost blood.

"Your Majesty asked the servant to invite the prince..."

Before the little eunuch finished speaking, Liu Ziming hurried to the emperor.Xiao Xiao also had some bad premonitions when she thought about what Master Cong said about the old emperor being bedridden.No one stopped him, Xiao Xiao frowned and followed behind Liu Ziming, wondering if it was what she had guessed.

Probably because the prince didn't say no, and the guards at the gate of the hall knew who Xiao Xiao was, so he followed Liu Ziming into the bedroom without any hindrance.Xiao Xiao saw the thin old emperor at a glance, with sunken cheeks and bluish-black eye sockets.Liu Ziming knelt on the bedside, Xiao Xiao stood aside like the other palace people, thinking that the old emperor was probably leaving.

The old emperor's lips twitched, and he turned his head to the old emperor's mouth. Liu Ziming wanted to hear what he was saying.His eyes were very astringent, Liu Ziming kept blinking, and his facial muscles trembled slightly.

"I'm sorry for your mother," the old emperor's eyes were already cloudy, but he still insisted on looking at Liu Ziming, "I'm even more sorry for you."

"Fortunately, you look very good, and I can entrust Jiangshan to you."

"It's still early," Liu Ziming's voice trembled, "I still have a lot of things I don't understand, and I'm still waiting for my father to teach me—"

But the emperor was able to last until Liu Ziming came to say a few words when he was dying, and he had exhausted his last breath, so after seeing Liu Ziming for the last time, he closed his eyes in satisfaction.Maybe he was unwilling, maybe he also had regrets, but his life ended here, and he could only leave with infinite nostalgia for this life.At this moment, Liu Ziming completely forgot the betrayal he suffered a few days ago. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly, and soon burst into tears.

"Father—"

Liu Ziming yelled over and over again, as if this would save those who had already left.Perhaps it was because of the lack of love since he was a child, so Liu Ziming cherished this father who suddenly cared for him more, even though he knew clearly that he was treated kindly because he was the only hope for this white jade.At this moment, he didn't even mind that his father had done such a beastly thing, because in his memory, his father was his father, the one who would play chess with him until midnight, and would be the one who would take care of him when he was sick. He specially instructed the people in the imperial dining room.Liu Ziming held the once extremely warm and thick palm, trying to keep the temperature that was gradually disappearing, trying to keep the last person in the world who had a relationship with him.

"The Emperor is dead—"

The eunuch's sharp voice pierced the gloomy sky, and all the officials knelt in front of the palace gate, waiting to welcome their new emperor.
