"Your Majesty, the prince is here." Fang Hai cautiously walked into the imperial study and replied to the emperor.

The emperor took a deep look at Si Huazhen, who was following behind Fang Hai, and said "um" meaninglessly, and then waved his hand, signaling Fang Hai to retreat first.

Fang Hai didn't dare to stay long, and even if he lightly withdrew from the imperial study, only Si Huazhen and the emperor were left in the hall looking at each other.

"Brother Zhen, why are you so late today, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The emperor's tone was a little strange, implying a tone of guilt and dissatisfaction.

Si Huazhen replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty forgives me, my brother is really unwell today, so I have delayed some time in the mansion, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame your brother for neglect." ”

"Really?" The emperor's gaze was like a poisonous snake, staring coldly at Si Huazhen in front of him, "Do you know what happened to me announcing that you entered the palace?" ”

While the emperor was talking, the corners of his bright yellow clothes were already pacing in front of Si Huazhen, trying to create a sense of coercion on Si Huazhen.

Si Huazhen's face did not change, and he said indifferently: "Gonggong Fang said that His Majesty misses his younger brother and wants to catch up with his younger brother, so his younger brother will come." ”

"Reminiscing?" The Emperor sneered lightly as if he had heard some funny joke, and smiled noncommittally.

He does have some old things to talk about with Si Huazhen, after all, people are going to die, and they have to be a ghost who understands.

"Sit down." The emperor sat on the soft couch on one side, slowly and methodically picked up the teacup, and took a sip of strong tea.

Si Huazhen did not refuse, and Shi Shiran sat on the opposite side of the emperor.

"Brother Zhen, I want to ask you a question, but you have to answer me truthfully." The emperor looked at Si Huazhen's face, and a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that Si Huazhen was really young at the beginning, and the emperor's mother family was powerful enough, I am afraid that the person sitting on this dragon chair now would be Si Huazhen in front of him.

Si Huazhen didn't seem to notice the emperor's hostility and hatred towards him, and chuckled: "Your Majesty, please say, the younger brother must know everything, and he will say everything." ”

"If you were the heir chosen by your father, what would you do?" The emperor did not beat around the bush, and directly said the doubts that had been buried in his heart for many years.

This is the emperor's heart knot for many years, and he has never forgotten what the emperor said to Si Huazhen before his death.

At that time, the emperor was dying, and the emperor originally wanted to enter the emperor's bedroom, and then see the emperor for the last time, but he didn't want to be under the mistake, but he heard the emperor's last words.

"My son should be the pride of the sky, but my time is short, and I can't pave the way for my son." The first emperor was already extremely weak at that time, but he still held on to his breath and said slowly: "If you can be five or six years older, how good it would be......"

The emperor's cloudy eyes were filled with unwillingness and deep hope, Si Huazhen was his proudest prince, whether it was ability or virtue, he was far better than others, but it was a pity that Si Huazhen was fledgling, and the emperor wanted to make a desperate bet and push Si Huazhen directly to that position, I am afraid that there will be a lot of turmoil and unrest.

"The high place is unbearable, and the sons don't want to be the Ninety-Five Supreme." Although Si Huazhen is young, his mind is precocious, and he said word by word in a childish voice.

The emperor suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, and a line of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, "Yes, what's so good about being alone, in the end, I can't even protect my beloved woman, but I have lived this life in vain." ”

Si Huazhen lowered his eyes and was silent, he knew the emperor's affection for his mother, but what could this be? His mother didn't end up with a fragrant jade in the end.

And his situation has also become walking on thin ice, if it weren't for his adoptive mother to take him in, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive now.

Therefore, Si Huazhen had a deep rejection of the palace in his heart, and he felt that in this cold imperial city, no matter how fresh that heart was, it would eventually be smoothed out and become insensitive.

As for the position of the emperor, whoever likes to sit will sit down, he will do his duty as a minister, guard the country, and keep it safe.

"Ah Zhen! The prince is narrow-minded, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate you in the future, I will allow you, after my death, if he is not good for you, you ......" The emperor said excitedly, and let out a heavy cough, "You can depose him, and then set up your own door!" ”

After the emperor said this, his pupils gradually became dilated, and the hand that was holding Si Huazhen hung down weakly.

The old man who had been in his life finally closed his eyes forever, but the emperor was always haunted by what he heard that day, and his unwillingness and resentment were constantly intertwined in his heart, so he was so jealous of Si Huazhen.

Why is he also the prince of the former emperor, but Si Huazhen was able to get such a preference from the former emperor, and even handed over his life and death to Si Huazhen.

The smile on the emperor's face gradually became cold and distorted, "Si Huazhen, if my father has a spirit in the sky and sees today's scene, will he regret what he did that day?" ”

"Your Majesty." Si Huazhen looked at the emperor calmly, "The younger brother knew early in the morning that there were other people in that hall, after the death of the emperor, he sent his henchmen to hand over the secret decree to the younger brother, but the younger brother never told anyone about the existence of the secret decree. ”

"What!" The emperor stood up in a gaffe, his eyes widened in disbelief and said, "How can there be a secret decree!" Hand it over! Hand it over, and I'll spare you from dying! ”

Si Huazhen's eyes were filled with gloom and coldness, as if there was some unknown malice, the so-called secret decree was naturally fake, but the emperor left him a life talisman, which was true.

But these things cannot be told to the emperor.

"Your Majesty is ready to get rid of your brother and then it's about to go, how can your brother obediently hand over the secret decree? Wouldn't that be self-defeating? Si Huazhen hooked the corners of his lips and smiled faintly, but it made the emperor's whole person feel like falling into an ice cellar.

"Your Majesty, if the younger brother really wants to replace him, as early as when you tried to harm the younger brother with Si Yuanqiong several times, the younger brother did it, why wait until now?" Si Huazhen's expression made people look angry, and he continued coldly and casually: "Brother Chen, I have never been interested in the position under your ass, and you have suspected the wrong person from the beginning. ”

Si Huazhen was severely suppressed by the emperor again, but with his prestige and ability, it was easy to pull the emperor down.

It's just that he doesn't bother to do this, so he will put up with it so far.

But unfortunately, he didn't want to kill Beren, but Beren pressed forward step by step and wanted to put him to death.
