Now that Yan Linglong holds the military power and protects the emperor and grandson, she is guarding the future emperor of Yan Kingdom, so this not only protects her own safety, but also gets out of trouble.

The former ministers of Yan State were once worried that Yan Linglong would seize the throne and become the empress, which would damage the interests of the powerful at that time, but now this worry can be dispelled. When there is less hostility, there will be fewer enemies, and there will naturally be fewer troubles.

Xiao Rui can also put his mind at ease.

"Linglong also praised the intelligence of the emperor and grandson in the letter, and even said that the doctor in charge of teaching the emperor and grandson praised him as a 'good saint grandson' in front of Emperor Yan, the little guy is more than two years old, is he really such a genius?" Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask.

Yue Shuying thought to herself, of course the princess should praise, not praise her own son, who will praise? I wrote to you to explain that you should listen to this father.

"The emperor is indeed very intelligent, and his memory is outstanding, he can remember it after watching it, and he has already drawn inferences from each other at a young age. That's why Your Majesty will place great hopes on the public, as the hope of the future of Yan Kingdom! Yue Shuying praised.

Xiao Rui nodded, and asked again: "By the way, what is the situation of Lu Yongxu?" ”

"Your Highness knows him?" Yue Shuying was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

Xiao Rui said: "He is the only son of the eldest princess of Wuyang of Zhao Kingdom, after the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed, I ordered someone to rescue the eldest princess of Wuyang and sent it to Qi Kingdom." She is my grandmother's younger sister, and in terms of blood, Lu Yongxu is my uncle. ”

Yue Shuying smiled: "Yes, how did I forget about this, I heard him mention it." ”

After speaking, Yue Shuying's face was strange, and she said with a smile: "Speaking of Lu Yongxu, he has a deep affection for Princess Linglong, even if Her Royal Highness the princess ignores it at all, he still relies on being a slave and a maid, and he is willing to use his words, by the way, it is a spare tire!" This time he came to Great Xia, and he also volunteered to come! ”

Xiao Rui sighed secretly, who did he blame for the sins he created.

"Forget it, don't talk about it." Xiao Rui waved his hand.

At this moment, Li Yuanfang entered the palace and said beside Xiao Rui: "Your Highness, King Duan has entered the palace, ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

"He's cured?" Xiao Rui quipped.

Li Yuanfang said: "I heard that I came to my senses yesterday, and Hua Tuo's medical skills will not be able to be used, I heard that the condition has not yet recovered, and now I am dragging the illness to ask for guilt!" ”

Xiao Rui nodded, didn't care, and continued to chat with Yue Shuying.

Since letting Xiao Rui supervise the country, Emperor Xia has been reluctant to go to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, after all, he is the emperor, and going to the Palace of Heart Cultivation will disturb the prince's handling of government affairs and cause him a certain psychological burden. Since he decided to hand over the world to the crown prince to take care of, he had to let go boldly, and Emperor Xia boasted that he still had the courage.

So he usually stays in the imperial study and enjoys a quasi-retirement life.

At this time, King Duan dragged his sick body to the door of the imperial study, raised his head and looked at the door plaque, and couldn't help but sigh.

After the crown prince took charge of the country, His Majesty even gave him the Heart Cultivation Palace, did he really have no chance?

He was not convinced!

"His Royal Highness King Duan, Your Majesty is invited!" Hai Dafu came out and said respectfully.

The voice pulled Xiao Feng's consciousness back, his voice was hoarse, and he said, "Thank you Grandpa Hai!" ”

When I walked into the hall, I saw His Majesty teasing a parrot.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng was a little stunned. Your Majesty is trying to tease the birds and feed the fish, completely let go of himself, and prepare to abdicate?

Emperor Xia glanced back at Xiao Feng, who was stunned, and asked, "How is your body?" Why don't you recuperate at home? ”

Xiao Feng knelt down and bowed: "Erchen is here to ask for sin!" The father ordered Erchen to be a special envoy to replace His Majesty to conquer the Qi Kingdom, but who knew that Erchen was infected with a vicious disease halfway and fell unconscious, and Erchen's subordinates took it upon themselves to take Erchen back to Kyoto and failed to reach the battlefield. The son is ashamed of his father's trust, and asks his father to punish him! ”

Emperor Xia said with a smile: "Your body is important, letting you go to Qi Country is just a symbol, and the attack on Zhao State is the responsibility of the champion Hou, so if you don't go to Qi Country, there is no big loss, don't blame yourself!" Penalties are not necessary. ”

"Yes! Erchen understood. ”

Xiao Feng answered, and remained silent, not knowing what to say.

In fact, he really wanted to open his mouth, chat with his father, not talk about state affairs, and talk about some interesting things, even if he talked about the parrot.

But when the words came to his mouth, he never came out.

Sometimes Xiao Feng thinks, although he is the son of His Majesty, what is the difference between him and a stranger?

Your Majesty asks if you live your own life?

Did Your Majesty consider your own feelings when you gave you the marriage?

Did Your Majesty care about your hobbies, efforts, and aspirations?

Xiao Feng also understood that he was canonized as a prince at a very young age, and went out to open a mansion, in order to hide his intelligence, he rarely entered the palace to meet His Majesty, which may be the reason for his estrangement from His Majesty.

And in the final analysis, the reason is caused by his mother and grandfather.

If the mother concubine didn't poison Concubine Rong, she wouldn't have to hide, wouldn't the relationship between herself and His Majesty be like it is now, and would she be able to enjoy the fatherly love that she had never felt?

How he envied Xiao Rui's communication with His Majesty, not a monarch and a minister, but a father and son, that kind of relationship that he dreamed of having but never got it.

"Father, the son has retired!"

There are thousands of words in my heart, and my emotions are difficult to settle, and finally converge into this sentence.

Emperor Xia nodded in agreement.

And when Xiao Feng turned around and walked to the door, Emperor Xia suddenly said: "Huang Qilin colluded with the dead soldiers of the Qin State to assassinate the crown prince, and he has been captured and put on death row. Because Huang Qilin cheated his death, the matter was not made public. After all, he is your grandfather, and you tell the prince that I will allow you to see him for the last time! ”

Xiao Feng stumbled, turned his head to look at His Majesty with a shocked expression, and the thing he was worried about in his heart really happened.

"Son's thanks!" Xiao Feng felt that his head was dizzy and he lost his thoughts, and it was not until he walked out of the imperial study and was blown by the autumn wind that he suddenly shivered and came back to his senses.

His grandfather was captured, which was a fatal blow to him, and it fell into the hands of the prince, can he escape death this time?

When Xiao Feng came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yue Shuying had just left.

Xiao Feng got straight to the point and said, "Prince, my father has allowed the king to go to Dongchang to meet Huang Qilin on death row, let me come and tell me, do you have any advice?" ”

Xiao Rui didn't expect His Majesty to play this game, so he said: "Since my father has arranged it, the king is free to do so." There is nothing to advise in this palace. Oh yes, Huang Qilin once wrote a letter to you, but unfortunately you didn't go to Qi Country, you didn't see it. But it's okay, now we can talk in person. ”

Xiao Feng clenched his fists, clenched his fists and said, "I heard that the prince's martial arts have improved again, how about we find a chance to compete again?" The first two times were undecided! ”

"yes, it's time to decide, isn't it?" Xiao Rui asked rhetorically.

Xiao Feng heard the meaning of his words, and then threw up his sleeves and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Out of the palace, Xiao Feng endured his physical discomfort and went to the East Factory. Wei Zhongxian greeted him in person, Hai Dafu had already ordered someone to send a message, and he knew the news that King Duan was coming, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Xiao Feng didn't bother to pay attention to Wei Zhongxian, and went directly to death row, met Huang Qilin, and asked others to avoid it by the way.

When there were only two people left, Xiao Feng looked worried and shouted, "Grandfather! ”

Huang Qilin was surprised and asked, "Why did you come back?" You didn't go to Qi country? ”

Xiao Feng said his method of pretending to be sick.

After hearing this, Huang Qilin sighed: "It's Longtan when you go, and it's the tiger's den when you come back, Xiao Rui has murderous intentions for you, and it's dangerous when you come back!" ”

"Isn't he afraid of angering His Majesty?" Xiao Feng said angrily.

"Afraid? When you sent someone to kill the king of Chu, were you afraid? Huang Qilin asked rhetorically.

Xiao Feng was speechless for a moment.

At that time, I couldn't wait to kill all the princes, I was afraid of a fart!

Huang Qilin said: "Now that Xiao Rui is the crown prince, and he has already supervised the country, and the great cause is about to be accomplished, there is no reason for him to kill you, so after doing it, even if His Majesty suspects it, it is only a suspicion." The death of the King of Chu is strange, do you think Your Majesty has not doubted us? His Majesty knew in his heart that he was just pretending not to know. ”

"Damn! Xiao Rui, this is not going to leave any troubles! Xiao Feng scolded.

Huang Qilin sighed and said, "Xiao Rui's ambition is in the world, so naturally he doesn't want to leave troubles. If it were us, we would do the same. ”

"By the way, grandfather, when I came out of the palace, Xiao Rui mentioned the letter you wrote, looking at the sinister smile of his smile, what kind of letter is it?" Xiao Feng asked.

Huang Qilin told the deal with Xiao Rui.

And Xiao Feng was like a lit explosive, which exploded in an instant, and roared angrily: "Let the fuck fart!" This king is iron-clad, and would rather die standing and never be compromised! He is so calculating, he wants to use me to deal with the king of Ruyang, but there is no door! I would rather die standing than live on my knees! ”

Huang Qilin had already guessed that Xiao Feng had this attitude, so he scolded loudly: "You have the ability, what a hard bone!" Have you forgotten all your years of hard work? If I can survive with all my strength, I am willing to kneel in front of Xiao Rui to survive! But is it possible? No way, I don't have a chance! You are only twenty-seven years old, who knows what the future holds, now that Xiao Rui has not become an emperor, you are going to give up, you want to die, are you worthy of yourself? And even if he becomes an emperor, no one knows what will happen in the future! There are many people who died suddenly in the emperor, maybe Xiao Rui is next! ”

Xiao Feng was scolded silently.

Huang Qilin's tone softened a little, and enlightened: "There is hope in life, I wanted to see you on the throne in my life, but now it seems that there is no chance, and when you become the emperor in the future, I will be able to smile at Jiuquan." ”

Xiao Feng was silent.

Long.

Xiao Feng suddenly asked, "Grandfather, you never asked me why I wanted to be the emperor!" ”

Huang Qilin was stunned.

Xiao Feng's eyes were red, and he continued: "I want to be the emperor, not because I want to, but because my mother and grandfather want me to be the emperor!" This became my dream! When I was seven years old, I was crowned king and left the palace, and I have been hiding all the time, and I have never lived my own life. Now I have to continue to live in the world, for the sake of an emperor's dream of forbearance and forbearance, I am really tired, I am really fed up. ”

"What if... If we hadn't had this ambition in the first place, wouldn't we be the same now? ”

......

Huang Qilin was suddenly silent, opened his mouth, and was speechless.

Xiao Feng didn't let the tears in his eyes roll down, he knelt down and kowtowed to Huang Qilin, and said, "Grandfather, this time, I want to live according to my own way of living!" ”

With that, Xiao Feng turned around and left.

Huang Qilin was startled and immediately roared: "Feng'er.... Feng'er..."

It's a pity that Xiao Feng hit his head against the south wall and didn't look back.
