"Don't worry about this." The old emperor coughed a few times, and then took out another imperial edict from under his pillow. The meaning of this imperial edict was very clear, that is, once the fourth prince successfully ascended the throne, he would not have any influence on Ji Lanjin.
For any act of persecution, he could use this edict to overthrow the throne of the fourth prince and establish a new king, or replace him himself.
Such an imperial edict undoubtedly gave Ji Lanjin a huge promise. However, when Ji Lanjin saw such an imperial edict, he didn't have much expression on his face.
The emperor's move seemed to give him protection, but in fact it didn't mean much. This imperial edict only prevented the fourth prince from openly attacking him. But if he really wanted to deal with someone, why should he do it on the table?
What's more, back in Yuncheng, he and the fourth prince had openly quarreled with each other, and even captured the fourth prince in public. He didn't think that the fourth prince would expose this matter easily, even for the sake of his majesty as an emperor in the future.
, and he will definitely not allow Ji Lanjin to live any longer, or even threaten his position.
Seeing that he was silent, the old emperor said again: "I know you have concerns. I will explain it to the fourth son and ask him to let go. A king should be able to tolerate the world. He will understand this principle."
"I know that you are sincere to that girl from the Qing family, and you are willing to risk the crime of resisting the imperial decree to help her conceal the matter of escaping from the marriage. In this case, then you might as well get her back and let the two of you live a good life. But if you don't have that intention
, I might as well do one more thing before I die, and help her find a good marriage. The fourth child also mentioned it in front of me before, saying that the girl is interesting. Since you have reconciled, let the fourth child do it.
It's not impossible to marry her and become a concubine." The old emperor's words can be described as a combination of strength and softness, kindness and power. Although at this time, he is outgoing more and less incoming, the imperial majesty of many years is still there.
Ji Lanjin's chest tightened, but she said calmly: "Your Majesty clearly sees that I do have some sincerity towards that woman, and I hope that for my sake, my brother will not embarrass her.
"Ji Lanjin knew in her heart that the emperor's words were superficial, and Qingwan's situation at this moment was not optimistic.
The old emperor glanced at him sideways, but his dim eyes showed shrewdness and calculation: "How I treat that woman depends entirely on you. Before you entered the palace, I had already sent her to the palace. Wait until the old emperor
After Si successfully ascends the throne, I will release her. Don't worry, I will let people take good care of her during this period."
Ji Lanjin's hands hanging by her sides tightened unconsciously. Before he could speak, the old emperor's voice sounded again: "Ahem, I know, you may think that what I'm doing is not right."
Guangming. But in order to ensure that the fourth child can successfully ascend the throne, I have to do it. I have watched you grow up since you were a child, and I know that you seem to have a cold temperament, but in fact you are a person who values ​​friendship. Now, I am afraid that the only thing you care about most is
That woman. Cough cough, cough cough..." After that, there was a coughing sound for a long time.
The attendant handed over the handkerchief and helped caress his back. When he took the handkerchief away, blood stains were clearly visible.
I don't know why, when she saw the bright red blood, Ji Lanjin's anxious heart suddenly calmed down. Her eyes focused on the old emperor's gray face, and she said slowly: "
Don't worry, brother emperor, I said that I have no interest in that position."
"I believe you!" The old emperor nodded and coughed violently again. It took him a long time to finally stop. Then he waved his hand to the attendant beside him with some difficulty and said: "Go and call me the fourth prince."
