After the four princes left, they wrote back to An Nan every month, and along with the letters, he also sent back his own paintings, and An Nan framed all his paintings and hung them in his palace.

With the passage of time, the paintings of the Four Princes faded little by little, becoming more and more mature and majestic.

The emperor would sometimes come to Annan's palace to admire the paintings of the four princes, and through these paintings, the emperor slowly understood his son, who had never taken it to heart, because he was not really mediocre and incompetent, on the contrary, he was full of spirituality and innocence, and he was devoted to a field he loved, without distractions, in contrast to his ambitious brothers.

The more the emperor knew about the four princes, the more dissatisfied he was with the eldest prince and the third prince, and the more he regretted why he didn't pay attention to the four princes in the first place, so he learned a lesson and no longer only favored one of the princes, but treated the latter princes equally.

On this day, the emperor went to An Nan to check his body as usual, and after making sure that he was not poisoned again, he had the heart to appreciate the newly sent back paintings by the four princes.

"Yuan'er's painting skills are getting better and better." The emperor sighed, "Maybe he can really become a great painter in the future." ”

An Nan sat lazily with him, the older the emperor became, the more he liked to run to her, probably because he had a "sense of security"?

Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu and the queen thought that An Nan was going to regain favor after more than ten years, but as soon as the four princes left Beijing, they were no longer worried, after all, what they were fighting for now was not the emperor's favor, but the chair under the emperor's buttocks, as long as the four princes did not threaten their sons, then An Nan didn't care if they were favored.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to come so often in the future, after all, no one will poison you every day, right? So you should come and let me check my body every half a decade, otherwise you come so often, your concubines will think that I am a vixen! When you're old, you can still hook me every day! An Nan lazily reclined on the beauty couch and said to the emperor lightly.

The emperor was stunned, he didn't expect him An Nan to say such a thing, there has been no love between men and women between them for a long time, it's not that the emperor doesn't want to spoil her, but An Nan is unwilling, and he can't force her, so he has formed a relationship like a partner today, An Nan helps him stay healthy, and he gives An Nan's mother and son a stable and comfortable life.

A handful of age? The emperor looked at An Nan, who was obviously in her thirties, but she was still young and beautiful, with fair and smooth skin, red lips, and a slender figure, not much different from a young girl in her twenties, and even a mature and charming charm that a young girl did not have.

She lay there weakly and bonelessly, her hands and feet were full of charm, obviously she was about the same age as the queen, the concubine, and the virtuous concubine, but she looked more than ten years younger than them, as if she was two generations.

And even if the queens are well-maintained, the traces between the corners of their eyes and eyebrows have revealed their true age, maybe they have too much thought?

The emperor looked at An Nan and had mixed feelings in his heart, she was still so young, but she was already gray-haired and wrinkled, and the emperor was sad and frightened.

After that, the emperor really didn't come to see An Nan for a long time, and then there were rumors that his physical condition was getting worse and worse, and when An Nan first heard it, she really thought that the emperor had been poisoned by even her and couldn't tell it, but after thinking about it a little, she understood that the emperor was luring the king into the urn.

I heard that the emperor announced many imperial medical examinations, but nothing was detected, but the emperor's body was already very weak, and he couldn't even get out of bed......

An Nan instructed the people in his palace to close the palace door, except for the necessary walking, the rest of the people could not leave, let alone walk around casually, fortunately, the others also keenly felt that the atmosphere in the palace was much more tense, and there was a feeling that the wind and rain were coming, so for the sake of their lives, they were relatively peaceful.

Sure enough, on one night when the emperor was "seriously ill", the palace began to be in chaos, breaking into many fierce soldiers with swords, they arrested and killed people everywhere, all kinds of wails and screams in the palace were endless, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was disgusting and disgusting.

An Nan also has thieves here who want to break in and arrest people, but An Nan has already let people close the door and let people fight back, and the emperor is also a little conscientious and sent guards to protect An Nan, so she is safe.

The people outside saw that they couldn't break in for a long time, and saw that this palace was not as magnificent as other palaces, and it was obvious that the people who lived here were not very favored, so they were sick and had no attachment, and when they saw that they couldn't open the door, they left.

The riot continued all night, and the palace was full of blood, and I don't know how many people died, but luckily the dust settled the next morning.

He thought that the emperor was dying of poison, so he took advantage of the emperor's "serious illness" and put him under house arrest and forced the emperor to write an edict to retreat from him.

And when his henchmen led the soldiers to surround the palace, the third prince became a yellow bird, and suddenly appeared when the eldest prince thought that he could force the palace successfully, pretending to find out the conspiracy of the eldest prince, and took the opportunity to lead the troops to surround the eldest prince's soldiers, and after a scuffle, he successfully killed the eldest prince.

So the third prince thought that he had solved the sworn enemy of the great prince, and the big position was his, and then he also forced the "seriously ill" emperor to write an abdication letter, but who knew that the emperor was the yellow finch of "the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind", and he is just the praying mantis.

So just when he triumphantly denounced how partiality the emperor was and favored the eldest prince, the emperor's people suddenly appeared and grabbed his soldiers, so he couldn't get complacent.

In this way, the emperor's pretending to be "seriously ill" led to two sons who wanted him to die, and he was devastated, physically and mentally exhausted, and suddenly aged by more than ten years.

The two princes who are most likely to ascend to the throne are gone, and the remaining princes, three of whom are lustful and faint, have a bad reputation; And the four princes have never had the heart to compete for the throne, and now they don't know where to go, so it is impossible for the two older princes to succeed to the throne.

Both the emperor and the courtiers set their sights on the younger princes, trying to pick a good successor from among them.

Finally, after a series of investigations, the twelve-year-old sixth prince was made the crown prince and followed the emperor to learn about court affairs.

Although the emperor pretended to be sick before, after all, he was old, and after the forced palace of two sons who had high hopes, he was exhausted, even if his body was fine, but his spirit was still declining, his energy was not as good as before, and it was only a matter of time before he abdicated.
