The emperor's hand holding the water paused slightly, "Your information is quite good."

Hearing this, the people below hurriedly took up their robes and knelt down, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I also heard this by chance this morning. I am the one who talked too much."

"Go down."

As if he had been granted amnesty, the man quickly bowed his body and slowly exited the imperial study.

It was a clear sky outside, but the gloominess in the imperial study was a bit frightening.

"Your Majesty, the tea is cold. I will bring you a cup of tea." Eunuch Liu said politely. The day was not too hot, especially in the royal study room, which was cooler than usual. But Eunuch Liu said a few words,

The clothes on my back were already soaked.

Before he had even taken two steps, he heard a low voice behind him and stopped quickly.

"Eunuch Liu, tell me, who should I trust?"

Eunuch Liu was holding the cup of tea, feeling uneasy in his heart, but trying to keep his composure on his face, "Your Majesty, how can this slave understand what is going on here? Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so he is naturally far-sighted and can definitely tell who should be trusted and who should not.

The letter.”

"Among my children, Yuchen is my legitimate son and the one I value most. I have always raised him as the crown prince of Tiansheng. I think I understand his temperament, but

Last night, you also saw it from the side. Whatever happens, he can succeed or do bad things, but he is still too impetuous."

"Your Majesty is in better health now, and he is not in a hurry to take charge of the affairs of the government." Eunuch Liu boldly spoke word by word.

The emperor sighed, "I don't know if my health is really better or just a superficial illusion. These days, I am always uneasy. If I don't see clearly the inheritance of my ancestors, I will hand it over in a confused way.

In the hands of my descendants, I have no face even if I go to see my ancestors."

With a deep gaze, the emperor seemed to have seen the scene where the prince broke into the palace in a furious manner last night.

Logically speaking, when the curfew time comes at night in the palace, the keys will be locked, and no one can enter the palace unless summoned by the emperor and empress.

But the prince is the queen's biological child after all, so if he wants to enter the palace, it will be a piece of cake.

When Eunuch Liu saw that he was about to enter the palace, he rushed to stop him.

"Your Highness, you'd better go back. It's late at night and the Emperor has already fallen asleep. If you need something, please come back tomorrow."

Xiao Yuchen felt cold, "Get out of the way quickly, I must see my father tonight."

"Your Highness, the emperor's dragon body is not in good condition, and no one is seen late at night." Before Eunuch Liu finished speaking, he noticed a piercing gaze above his head directed towards him, and he quickly shut his mouth.

"Whether we see him or not is my father's business. Whether he passes it on or not is your business. When will it be your turn to be my father's master again?" Xiao Yuchen was full of anger. When he heard Eunuch Liu's words, he immediately

It was like setting off explosives.

Eunuch Liu's face darkened, and he had no choice but to turn around and send the message.

The emperor himself was a light sleeper, and he had been taking medicine for many years, which resulted in a bitter taste of medicine when he exhaled and inhaled.

Eunuch Liu carefully woke up the emperor, knelt on the ground and said, "This slave deserves death. I should not have woken up the emperor at this time. Please forgive me."

"I happen to be thirsty too. Go and get me a cup of tea."

The emperor coughed twice, which made Xiao Yuchen's heart tremble twice.

Entering the palace and seeing the emperor's wide and windy pajamas, Xiao Yuchen couldn't bear to look up and said, "Father, I have come to apologize to you."

He lowered his head and knocked down hard, and a crisp sound was particularly abrupt in the silent night.

"I went to rest when I came back. Why did you suddenly come to my palace in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Yuchen said quickly, "Father, my son has a great responsibility, but he failed to set an example and did not dare to go back home to sleep. Please punish me."

"If things didn't go well, it can't be said to be all your fault. The epidemic is approaching fiercely. As the prince, it's good for you to be involved in dangerous situations. As for the rest, I can only say that you have to do your best and obey fate. You don't have to be too complacent.

responsibility."

The emperor held his legs with both hands to support his body. His eyelids drooped weakly, but the gaze behind his eyelids fell sharply on Xiao Yuchen.

"Father, the people of Qingzhou are in dire straits. I really can't stand it anymore. When I first arrived in Qingzhou, I couldn't find a cure for the epidemic. I can't bear to see more people being infected and die, let alone watching the epidemic.

Step by step to the east, enter

After entering the imperial city in Kyoto, he took it upon himself to execute the people who had been infected with the epidemic. Although the epidemic stopped its momentum, there were still so many lives lost. My son had realized his mistake and asked his father to punish him.

Be a warning to others.”

Xiao Yuchen's words moved him deeply.

The emperor stopped coughing. He didn't know whether to believe it or not, but his eyes fell lightly on the prince.

Within a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yuchen was already feeling a little anxious.

"Father, I am not doing this out of greed for success. I understand that my father loves the people like a son and cares about the people. I just want to share my father's worries and do not want to see the entire Tiansheng being tortured by the epidemic.

I am a son-in-law, and I don’t want to see my father working hard despite his illness. I was in a hurry at that time, so I could only use this method, and I ask my father to give me advice."

The emperor pondered for a moment and then said, "It is the emperor's way to stop losses in time. However, the people are the foundation of the country. In any case, you should not use the lives of the people to stop the epidemic. This is wrong, but I think that you will go there."

For the sake of curing the epidemic, the merits and demerits are offset by the merits, so I don’t care about you.”

"Thank you, Father!"

Xiao Yuchen was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly to thank him.

The emperor withdrew his gaze and his gaze fell on the papers under his command. Today, he had approved seven or eight papers. Most of them were to take credit for King Rui, and the remaining half were to talk about the prince's mistakes.

His chest was rising and falling, and when he raised his hand, half of the folds on the table fell down.

Eunuch Liu was so frightened that he knelt down to apologize.

"Eunuch Liu, how many of Prince Rui's spies are there in this palace? Why did they know about Yuchen's entry into the palace yesterday?"

Eunuch Liu did not dare to speak and could only kneel with his head bowed.

There was heavy breathing above the head. After a long time, the breathing gradually calmed down and he said, "Just get down."

At this moment, the carriage at Prince Rui's Mansion outside the palace slowly stopped.

"The emperor should reward the prince this time," Tang Junning smiled, feeling sincerely happy for him.

Seeing her smile, he unconsciously laughed too.

When the young father-in-law and the maid in the palace met, they felt a little strange. His Royal Highness Prince Rui had always been as cold as an iceberg. He was usually in a good mood when he was not sullen. How could he still laugh today?

This is really the sun rising in the west.

He walked in front, and Tang Junning subconsciously wanted to take a step behind and walk behind him.

Probably sensing that she had such thoughts, he grabbed her hand in advance, exerted a slight force, and brought her together with him.
