Chapter 197: Heart-to-Heart Talk

"Yes. My father told me yesterday. So you can't be so willful in the future, you know? Reaching out and rubbing Mingyun's head, Mingtao said with a smile.

He couldn't deny that at the beginning, he was really disappointed with the emperor's decision, but after seeing Mu Yunfeng's happiness, he suddenly felt that the emperor's decision was actually very good, at least, he and Mu Yunqiao were together, and there was no need to make Mu Yunqiao sad and sad for the problems of the three palaces and six courts.

"Doesn't the Fourth Emperor Uncle want Yun'er? With the ability and intelligence of the Four Emperor Uncles, the throne of this Great Holy Dynasty belongs to you. Now ......" stopped, Ming Yun looked at Ming Tao and asked seriously.

"What the fourth uncle can do, you must be able to do. Do your best! There was no positive answer, Ming Tao just said with a smile. That lofty position is full of attraction for any man, especially when he is only one step away, he is even more excited. However, whenever he wanted to take a step forward, he would think of Mu Yunqiao's smile. Between the throne and Mu Yunqiao, he chose to be with Mu Yunqiao without hesitation.

"Thank you! Uncle Four Emperors! Hugging Ming Tao's waist hard, Ming Yun said excitedly. He has always felt very guilty about the Fourth Emperor Uncle, but now that he can hear his words, his heart is much more relaxed, "Fourth Emperor Uncle, rest assured, Yun'er will definitely study hard and be a good emperor in the future." ”

"Uncle Four Emperors believes in you!" Ming Tao smiled and nodded.

"The slave participates in the little prince, His Royal Highness the Virtuous King!" Just halfway through, a little eunuch hurriedly came over and saluted Ming Tao and Ming Yun.

"Get up! Where are you going so late? Looking at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, Ming Tao frowned and asked.

"The slave is the personal eunuch of the little prince, and he doesn't see the little prince when he gets up at night, so the slave will look for the little prince everywhere." Lowering his head, the little eunuch didn't dare to look at Ming Tao's expression, but kept trembling and said. Fortunately, the little prince didn't have an accident today, otherwise his head would have moved. It's just that today's incident is only afraid that even if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured.

"Fourth Emperor Uncle, this person is indeed a servant of Yun'er, since he has found it, Mingyun is here to separate from the Fourth Emperor Uncle." Looking at the little eunuch in front of him, Ming Yun let go of Ming Tao's hand and said.

"Let's go! I'll send you back. Ming Tao, the little eunuch staring at him, took Ming Yun's hand again and said. This little eunuch is too derelict in his duties, Ming Yun waited outside his palace until now, he actually came out to find someone until now, it was too dangerous for such a slave to stay by Ming Yun's side. But after all, this is Mingyun's minion, and he won't interfere in any way.

"Mingyun, thank you Uncle Four Emperors." Glancing at the little eunuch behind him, Ming Yun and Ming Tao walked forward together. However, when Ming Tao wanted to send him back to the East Palace, Ming Yun was embarrassed to say that he was now living in Qianyuan Palace.

Ming Tao naturally knew that Qianyuan Palace was not only a place for the emperor to handle official business, but also a place for the emperor to rest, and the emperor wanted Ming Yun to live with him, how could Ming Tao not understand his thoughts. Ming Tao didn't say anything, directly took Ming Yun's hand and walked towards Qianyuan Palace.

Since Mingyun lives there, maybe now his father himself knows about Mingyun's departure. Thinking of this, Ming Tao couldn't help but turn around and say to the little eunuch who was following him: "Wait a minute, if you see your father, remember that you have been with the little prince all along."

"Minion, thank you for the reminder." The little eunuch, who was already ready to be punished, kowtowed to Ming Tao gratefully.

Losing the little prince is a capital offense, but if he goes out with Mingyun because he can't stop it, although he will still be punished, the punishment will be much lighter.

"Get up! Remember to be more attentive when waiting for your master in the future. Lowering his head, Ming Tao said to the little eunuch.

"Minion, thank you, Lord Wang!" The little eunuch kowtowed to Ming Tao again and thanked him.

"Get up and go! After a long time, my father will be worried. After speaking, Ming Tao didn't look at the little eunuch holding Ming Yun's hand and walking towards the Qinzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, the little prince is back!" Hongfu walked into Mingwu's dormitory and whispered to Mingwu who was leaning on the side of the bed to watch the folds.

Of course he got the news from the beginning when Ming Yun secretly ran out of Qianyuan Palace tonight, but he was very curious about the reason why this kid secretly left at night, so he kept letting people follow behind Ming Yun, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was sure that he went to Ming Tao. He knew that Ming Tao would not hurt Ming Yun, but he still wanted to know how Ming Tao would treat Ming Yun after knowing Ming Yun's identity. So although he knew that Mingyun was waiting there, he didn't forcibly bring him back.

"He came back on his own?" Raising his head, Mingwu asked.

"His Royal Highness King Xian sent the little prince back. And the little prince is still wearing the cloak of His Royal Highness King Xian. Hongfu replied respectfully.

"Oh? Where are they now? Ming Wu looked at Hongfu and asked with a smile. Of course, he was very satisfied with Ming Tao's approach. Speaking from the heart, he has so many sons, he is most afraid that Ming Tao will oppose Ming Yun as the emperor's grandson, as long as he does not agree, with the credit of his return this time, I am afraid that he will be the crown prince. But Ming Tao actually treated Ming Yun like this, which means that he has given up the desire to compete for the throne, how can Ming Wu not be happy.

"It's almost at the gate of Qianyuan Palace." Looking at Ming Wu, Hongfu said respectfully.

"Got it, let Ming Tao come to see me later, as for Ming Yun, I ordered someone to prepare bath water for him so that he could have a good rest." After a while, Ming Wu instructed Hongfu.

"Minion, let's do it!" Hongfu respectfully saluted Ming Wu and left Ming Wu's bedroom.

After Hongfu left, Ming Wu threw aside the fold in his hand at will, allowing the words on it to be exposed but did not have the meaning of joining the fold. A smug smile appeared on his face. These people want to make trouble for themselves, but they chose the wrong person this time, because Ming Tao himself has no intention of taking the throne at all, and it is useless for them to say more.

Maybe he did raise some greedy sons, but luckily Mingtao wasn't like them. Thinking of Ming Tao's ability, Ming Wu sighed again. He also admitted that it was much easier for Ming Tao to be the emperor than for Ming Yun to be the emperor, but people's hearts were biased, and he couldn't help but be partial to Ming Xuan. and Ming Yun, who has been with him, he can only compensate Ming Tao in other ways, and he has to leave this thousands of miles to Ming Yun no matter what.

Now he only hopes that God can let him live a few more years and give Ming Yun a period of time to grow and learn. At least when Mingyun is twenty years old, he can leave with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xian is asking to see you at the door." Hongfu, who had just gone out, walked in and saluted Ming Wu and said.

"Let him in!" Glancing at the fold next to him, Ming Wu smiled and said.

"Yes! Emperor! After receiving Mingwu's answer, Hongfu walked out of the dormitory and walked outside.

"Erchen knocks on his father, my emperor ......" walked into the Mingwu dormitory, and Mingtao knelt not far from Mingwu to salute Mingwu.

"Alright, get up!" Without waiting for Ming Tao to finish speaking, Ming Wu beckoned to Ming Tao and asked him to sit beside him.

"Erchen, Emperor Xie!" Ming Tao looked at the smiling Ming Wu and sat beside Ming Wu uneasily. He hadn't seen such a pleasant father for a long time. I don't know why my father is in such a good mood today. But since my father is in a good mood, it must not be a bad thing to come to him! Thinking of this, Ming Tao felt a lot more at ease.

"Look at that!" Seeing the doubts in Ming Tao's heart, Ming Wu pointed to the fold on the table and said.

Ming Tao took the fold suspiciously, the emperor was in such a good mood, it should be a good news fold, so Ming Tao didn't care about it at first, but when he read a few lines, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. didn't finish reading the recital, Ming Tao hurriedly put away the recital and knelt in front of Ming Wu.

"Father and Emperor Ming, this son really doesn't know anything about it, and the son doesn't know why these ministers are doing this and asking Father to investigate."

"Get up! I believe in you! Doing this, Ming Wu reached out and took Ming Tao's hand and said, "I know that you didn't do it, but I will receive several copies of this kind of performance every day." I can't kill all these ministers, so I want to announce the decree of the king tomorrow morning. and the holy decree of Ming Yun as the emperor's grandson. ”

"Father is wise!" With his head down, Ming Tao knelt on the ground again and saluted Ming Wu. In this way, he will completely lose the position of crown prince, but it will also save him a lot of trouble. Especially at Mu Yunfeng's wedding banquet today, many ministers wanted to invite him into the mansion to get together. At that time, he thought that these ministers were so enthusiastic because of his status, but now it seems that they all have ulterior motives. Fortunately, he came here today to see his father, otherwise he was afraid that he would fall into the trap of those people without knowing it. Thinking of that situation, Ming Tao's forehead couldn't help but break out in countless cold sweats again.

"Wise? It's also a helpless move for my father to do this! Looking at Ming Tao, Ming Wu sighed and said, "Actually, when Ming Yun went to look for you today, I knew that I intended to test you." I'm very happy with your performance. ”

"Father ......" looked at the sincere Ming Wu who was smiling, and Ming Tao couldn't help but feel empty. At the same time, he was even more afraid, fortunately he didn't have any intention of hurting Ming Yun at that time, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to sit here safely now.

He knew that Ming Wu would not say these words for no reason, and there must be a follow-up, so Ming Tao did not speak, but just sat there quietly.

"A lot has happened in the palace lately." After a long time, Ming Wu looked at the roof and said sadly: "Ning'er, who has been missing for many years, has returned, but Mingxuan is gone, and the queen who has been missing for many years has finally been found, but she only lived for an hour and passed away." You won't believe that the seemingly dignified and gentle Concubine Lian actually imprisoned the queen in the secret room of her room and tortured her for eighteen years. Eighteen years is such a long time, and looking back, I feel sad. ”

"Father......" looked at the sad Ming Wu, Ming Tao didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only hold Ming Wu's hand hard, hoping that he wouldn't say it again.

"I am an incompetent husband and a failed father, how much the queen has paid for my country is unimaginable to ordinary people, but I have caused her to die a good death. I feel ashamed of the queen. Looking at Ming Tao, Ming Wu said sadly.

"Presumably, the queen mother must not regret all this she has done for her father." After a long time, Ming Tao sighed. Although the relationship between Mingwu and Ma Xiuying was small at that time, he knew that they were directly not comparable to those concubines. So when he knew that they were close to the end of the world for eighteen years, he felt even more sad and sad for Mingwu.

"She doesn't regret it, but I regret it, if I hadn't been the emperor back then, she wouldn't have ended up where she is today, and Mu Yunqiao's personality is very similar to the queen, I don't want you to follow in my footsteps." Avoiding Ming Tao's gaze, Ming Wu closed his eyes and shed two lines of tears.

"Thank you for your father's love!" Lowering his head, Ming Tao said softly.

"It's late, let's go back! Don't forget to join the morning pilgrimage tomorrow. After a long time, Ming Wu said to Ming Tao.

"Son's resignation!" Get up and bow to Ming Wu and kneel down before leaving Ming Wu's bedroom.
