Su Mu also watched Cheng Huan leave his side again and again, and sometimes they were only a fraction of a distance between them.

But Su Mu also knew in her heart that even if she got the person who was Chenghuan, she could stay by her side like she was now.

But Cheng Huan's heart can never belong to him, and it is impossible to look at him with deep affection.

Since it can't be obtained after all, it is better to let him guard Cheng Huan's happiness, so that they don't have to lose each other by the troubled world, so that Cheng Huan doesn't have to block his exquisite heart because of this.

After living in the Fusheng Pavilion for three or five days, it was not until Su Muyi avoided Cheng Huan for three meals a day, Cheng Huan reluctantly packed his bags and went to the place that Cheng Huan did not want to face with Ouyang Gurong.

Because there was no need to hurry, Cheng Huan and his party were not in a hurry, and they rode horses along the way as if they were on an outing, watching while walking.

Therefore, they only need to fly for five hours, but they ride all the way but spend seven or five days.

"The prince has returned to Beijing, hurry up and report to your lordship!" Ouyang Gurong and Cheng Huan had just arrived at the city gate, and the soldiers defending the city had already exploded.

For more than half a month, there has been an atmosphere of unease in the imperial city.

The crown prince Yunrong left Beijing for no reason, and the emperor suddenly became seriously ill and dying.

As the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, and the vacancy of the position of the prince these days has already put everyone in the capital in danger from themselves.

Now Ouyang Gurong's sudden appearance can really be said to have come down suddenly.

"The prince, please stay, the emperor is seriously ill, and he ordered the prince to return to Beijing and rush directly to the palace to see him." At this time, a man dressed in an official mansion rushed over from the side and fell to his knees.

When Ouyang Gurong and Cheng Huan heard this, they both frowned slightly.

Although Ouyang Gurong has only been away for half a month, for those who are seriously ill, one more day is a torment.

Compared with Su Muyi's previous situation, Cheng Huan also has a sense of proportion in his heart.

"Let's attack and visit our father!" Seeing Ouyang Gurong's inquiring gaze fall on him, Cheng Huan immediately said.

Although the queen is aimed at Chenghuan in everything, the emperor is not at fault after all.

What's more, personal enmity aside, that man has always been Ouyang Gurong's father, the monarch of this country.

How can Cheng Huan delay the next hour and a half because of his own selfish feelings.

Hearing Cheng Huan's words, Ouyang Gurong nodded reassuringly, and as soon as his legs caught the road, he galloped all the way in the direction of the imperial city.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was waiting for Ouyang Gurong's return with such fanfare, and it was conceivable that his illness had reached a relatively strict point.

"See Father!"

"See Father!"

Ouyang Gurong and Cheng Huan knelt in front of Emperor Ming Xuan's bed and made a big salute respectfully.

"Get up. Look at your dusty appearance, where did you come back? This walk is half a month, and I didn't even say hello. Seeing Ouyang Gurong and Cheng Huan who came in a hurry, Emperor Ming Xuan barely held his body and said.

When Cheng Huan heard this, his heart was also tight.

In her mind, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty has always meant a decisive and majestic Ming monarch.

Now it's only been half a month, and Emperor Ming Xuan's voice is already so old, like an old man who has been ill for a long time.

A person's old age is such a trivial thing, even if it is a high emperor.

"It's the son's negligence, please punish your father." Ouyang Gurong got up and sat on the edge of the bed and said respectfully.

Cheng Huan also stood to the side with Ouyang Gurong, looking at the old Emperor Ming Xuan on the bed.

However, all of a sudden, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was more than ten years old, and he no longer had the previous arrogance of dominating the world.

"As a father, she was also young, Huan'er is a good woman, you have to protect her well." Emperor Ming Xuan held his son's hand and said in a homely manner.

Hearing this, not only Ouyang Gurong on the side of the bed, but even Cheng Huan, who was standing on the side, was slightly shocked.

Although he didn't say it, Emperor Ming Xuan saw it better than anyone else in his heart.

In those years, he also experienced such a helpless choice, abandoning his true self in the next step of the trade-off of interests.

"Father, Huan'er is my mother, I will definitely protect her from harm." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ouyang Gurong also replied firmly.

This is not only his commitment to Emperor Ming Xuan, but also his commitment to Chenghuan for the rest of his life.

"There are also thousands of rivers and mountains in this cloud country, you must defend it for your father." Emperor Ming Xuan nodded effortlessly, and continued.

Hearing Emperor Xuan's words, Ouyang Gurong couldn't bear to shirk, "Father, son-in-law must do it!" ”

"You're tired enough to travel all the way, go back and rest first, and leave Huan'er to talk to me." Hearing that Ouyang Gurong should accept it, Emperor Ming Xuan waved his hand slightly, signaling Ouyang Gurong to retreat.

Ouyang looked at Cheng Huan who was standing on the side hesitantly, and for a while he couldn't think of Emperor Ming Xuan's intention to leave Cheng Huan alone to speak.

Cheng Huan only raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at Ouyang Gurong with his eyes peacefully, signaling him to feel at ease.

"The minister retired first." Ouyang Gurong retreated.

"Both of you are too stubborn, like me and Rong'er's mother back then, you will inevitably suffer in the future." After Ouyang Gurong's figure disappeared behind the palace gates, Emperor Ming Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Huan, who was standing on the side, and said in a deep voice.

There was too much sentimentality in that vicissitudes of life, which made Cheng Huan can't help but be moved when he listens to it.

Even the emperor of the dragon among people experienced a lot of helplessness at the beginning, and only then did he sit firmly in this thousands of miles step by step.

"This is the hairpin I promised to be with Lian'er, the former white-headed old man is now only me alone, you and Rong'er have been married, this hairpin is usually passed on to you by Rong'er's mother, but it's a pity that ......" While speaking, Emperor Ming Xuan took out a silver hairpin from one side.

Cheng Huan looked at the silver hairpin in front of him that was delicately carved out of lotus flowers, and for a moment he even forgot to reach out to pick it up.

I didn't expect Emperor Ming Xuan to have such an unknown past, it seems that Emperor Ming Xuan is also an infatuated species, but he was forced to live up to his beloved woman under the pressure of the government and the opposition.

It is no wonder that even though Ouyang Gurong's mother died, his status in the court and the central government was not damaged at all, but was more and more reused.

Just by passing him to the knees of the childless queen, it can already be seen that the emperor has planned far-reaching.

"Thank you, Father." After a while, Cheng Huan, who came back to his senses, hurriedly reached out to pick up the silver hairpin.

"I remember when I was still the prince, Lian'er often said, I hope that in the future, Rong'er's wife can be gentle and generous, and it is best not to be these young ladies in the capital who have made enough gestures, she is not used to it." Seeing Cheng Huan take the silver hairpin, Emperor Ming Xuan continued to babble.

Cheng Huan stood aside with a quiet smile, and she had to admit that Emperor Ming Xuan was really old.

Only the old man will be so accustomed to thinking about the past, and telling it in a long-lasting and far-reaching tone.

"Now it seems that Rong'er really lives up to his mother's high expectations." Looking at Cheng Huan in white clothes on one side, Emperor Ming Xuan's eyes were full of appreciation.

"Thank you for your love." Cheng Huan also replied with a soft smile.

"It's just that Rong'er, as the crown prince, thinks about the country of Yunguo, and he should have more sons and more blessings under his knees." Emperor Ming Xuan continued.

It wasn't until the conversation reached this moment that Cheng Huan knew the true intention of Emperor Ming Xuan to keep her gossiping.

For the sake of the entire Yun Kingdom, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty did not hesitate to use his most cherished past to impress Cheng Huan.

Cheng Huan's face was still smiling quietly, and even the indifference in his eyes did not change a bit.

However, Cheng Huan's heart has already turned over and over, it turned out that he was sitting in such a seat, he was so helpless, and even the things he loved by his beloved sometimes had to be taken out as bargaining chips in exchange.

"What my father said is very true." Cheng Huan also smiled and responded to Cheng Dao.

Hearing Cheng Huan's words, Emperor Ming Xuan seemed to let go of the burden in his heart, and laughed heartily.

"Sure enough, she is my good daughter-in-law, so smart and transparent, she will be a model of motherhood in the world in the future. Rong'er is probably still waiting for you, go quickly. Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty relieved Cheng Huan to resign.

Cheng Huan also saluted respectfully, and left with a gentle smile.

It's just that how much bitterness and helplessness is hidden behind that smile, and only Chenghuan knows it in his heart.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty has not hesitated to use the matter of Concubine Lotus as a rhetoric, the meaning is to tell Sù Chenghuan, love each other like Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty and Concubine Lotus, they still have to have three wives and four concubines, and there are countless beauties in the harem.

And Ouyang Gurong, as the crown prince of the dynasty, it is reasonable to have one or two side concubines.

What's more, Emperor Xuan's final intention is also extremely obvious, he used the position of future queen to suppress Chenghuan, hoping to make her have some sustenance in her heart.

But unfortunately, what Cheng Huan's heart belongs to has never been those vain and superficial things.

As soon as Fang entered the capital, Cheng Huan and Ouyang Gurong galloped all the way into the imperial city.

Until the gate of Xuanwu, he had to dismount and walk, and Tianjun also found a chance to get out.

Although Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was seriously ill, Tianjun, as the grandson of the eldest emperor, logically needed to enter the palace with Ouyang Gurong to meet him.

But Tianjun said that he didn't want to enter Zhengwu together, and Chenghuan also deliberately didn't want Tianjun to contact the hearts of those unpredictable people in the palace.

came and went, Tianjun also found the garden path halfway to find fun and play, and then picked him up when Chenghuan left the palace.

In order to ensure that Tianjun's outfit was not too eye-catching, Ouyang Gurong had no choice but to take out a small set of eunuch clothes from the space treasure ring, and watched Tianjun's suit go up and leave with peace of mind.
