Not long after Emperor Zeming returned to the Chengming Palace, Su Cao knelt outside the imperial study.

  Gonggong Feng entered the palace several times to report, and finally came out of the imperial study again: "The saint asked the old slave to take the princess into the imperial study." ”

  When Su Cao entered the imperial study, Emperor Zeming took a pen and commented a few words on the fold, without raising his head: "I know, you are complaining about me." ”

  "There's no resentment!"

  Su Cao found a place to sit down: "It's just that Mingzhu knows, you are the father, not a father." ”

  Emperor Zeming put down the fold, raised his head, and looked at her with some shock.

  Su Cao smiled bitterly: "Since Mingzhu entered the palace, my father has been very fond of me, as the emperor, he will come to Chonghua Palace to eat the food I made, and accompany me and Yao'er to eat, I have always regarded you as a father, not the emperor of Yunze Kingdom." But this time in the Qionglin banquet, the father and the emperor laid out carefully step by step, and calculated everyone, even I became the most critical part of this game, Mingzhu knew that it was a luxury to want a father like an ordinary family. ”

  "Is this still resentful?"

  Emperor Zeming suddenly coughed a few times, covered his mouth with Longpa, and then moved away, Longpa's body was already covered with blood.

  "You don't have to complain about your father, your father's time is running out, and Yao'er can't leave a person around him who is involved with Shaohao Guoji's family to support him."

  When Su Cao was in Yulong County, she heard that Old Taijun analyzed the situation in the capital and said that the saint was in poor health today, but since she entered the palace, she had never found anything wrong with Emperor Zeming's body.

  At this time, Emperor Zeming coughed up blood, which frightened Su Cao, and hurriedly bypassed the imperial table to help him.

  Emperor Zeming panted: "Mingzhu, you are too soft-hearted!" I don't know what you have to do with the national teacher? But for the sake of Yao'er, I also want to be this wicked person, I am the emperor, and I want to protect the country of Yunze, so I can't tolerate a trace of missteps. ”

  Su Cao's eyes darkened: "Can't you really spare his life?" ”

  "I originally wanted to promise you to Zhu Yi, the three generations of important ministers of the Zhu family, Zhu Ge is loyal to the Yunze Kingdom court, if you marry into the Zhu family, the Zhu family will treat you well, but if you let Yao'er deliberately say those words in front of me, I will know that you have other thoughts."

  Emperor Zeming ruthlessly relented: "Shen Xuezi is a fellow villager with you, just for the sake of your adoptive father's last wish, he will go to Beijing for you to take the exam, and he will cut thorns for you, he is already the biggest concession I can make to you." ”

  "Father left you by Yao'er's side, you must know that court affairs are not something you can interfere in."

  Emperor Zeming took her hand and patted it gently: "Go, rest early, the scenery of Huguo Temple on the outskirts of Beijing is good, I have already allowed Shen Zhuangyuan to accompany you to Huguo Temple tomorrow to relax." ”

  Emperor Zeming's last words had already implied a warning, and he threatened Su Cao with the little prince, Su Cao knew that he could not make an emperor change his mind, so he had to leave Chengming Hall and return to Chonghua Palace.

  Ping'er and Yuanyuan were guarding the door of the dormitory of Chonghua Palace, and Su Cao asked them, "What about the little prince?" ”

  "In the temple!"

  Ping'er looked distressed: "Miss, since the little prince returned to Chonghua Palace, he has locked himself in the house for a long time, and he doesn't let people go in to serve." ”

  "Got it, you guys go down first!"

  Su Cao asked Ping'er and Yuanyuan to go down and rest, and then pushed open the door of the Chonghua Hall and walked in.

  There was only one lamp lit in the hall, and the hazy light reflected the straight back of the little man at the table, making Su Cao feel that he was so pitiful and helpless at this moment.
