After the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival gradually disappeared, and a new haze shrouded again, Emperor Zhaoming's condition came and went, and his body just improved, and three days after the last dynasty, he fell ill again.

The harem concubines took turns to serve the sick, Gu Qingyi also followed Bai Muyun, and when he saw the person lying on the hospital bed, he almost couldn't believe that this was the emperor who was in good spirits not long ago, and the one lying on the bed at this time was an old man with gray hair, sunken cheeks, a terrifyingly sallow face, and cloudy eyes that seemed to have no focus, Bai Muyun talked to him, and it took him a long time to react, accompanied by a burst of coughing, and said slowly, "It's all up to you, I, I'm beyond my strength." ”

The voice is hoarse and weak, and if you don't concentrate, you can't hear it at all.

Bai Muyun's eyes were a little red, and he said pale and weak words of comfort, "How can it be, Father, this is just a minor illness, you have survived the wind and waves, how can this little illness defeat you?" I know that if you hold on and survive this while, you will recover soon, and you will live a long life and watch Xiaotuanzi and Xiaodouzi grow up. ”

Emperor Zhaoming smiled bitterly, "I can't see Xiaotuanzi and Xiaodouzi grow up, but it's still okay to watch you ascend the throne." Prince, I plan to take the throne. ”

Bai Muyun and Gu Qingyi were both startled, and immediately knelt down, Bai Muyun grabbed Emperor Zhaoming's hand, "Father, this matter is not appropriate, please take back your life." ”

Since he fell ill again, Emperor Zhaoming had the idea of a Zen position, but he had been an emperor for so many years, and he was reluctant to take the Zen position after all, so he had been hesitating, but he just opened his mouth, all the hesitation disappeared, leaving only the ease and calmness of the dust settled, he did not allow refusal, and once again exerted his arbitrary nature as the emperor, "I have made up my mind, you go and call all the cabinet scholars over now." ”

"Father!"

"Go!"

Bai Muyun looked at Emperor Zhaoming with a resolute face, and finally chose to obey, Gu Qingyi was originally going to leave, but Emperor Zhaoming suddenly opened his mouth to stop her, "Second daughter-in-law, you stay." ”

Bai Muyun paused, and was immediately glanced at by Emperor Zhaoming, "What, what are you doing here?" ”

The temper is really bad, and if you think about it, the throne is going to be relinquished, no matter how you look at it, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, as the successor, isn't Bai Muyun a punching bag.

Gu Qingyi gave him a reassuring look, and after he left, he said respectfully to Emperor Zhaoming, "Father, you left your sons, but what do you have to tell your sons?" ”

"I've always thought you're smart and clever, but it's not a good thing that a backhouse woman is too clever." Emperor Zhaoming's cloudy eyes were obscure, his eyes were sharp and sharp, and even his voice was hidden in his edge, just like the feared emperor in the past, "When the prince was still the king of Qin, you controlled the backyard alone, and I endured it, but in the future, he became the emperor, and the harem must not be only one person's truth, the emperor must be widely frightened, fill the harem, and spread branches for the royal family, in order to ensure the prosperity of my royal blood." The prince loves you, if you don't want to, he will definitely guard you alone, but I can't bear it, I ask you, after the prince ascends the throne, are you willing to conquer the harem for him? ”

Emperor Zhaoming's words were intermittent, accompanied by coughing and panting, but every word and sentence smashed into Gu Qingyi's heart like thunder, and she was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to react to.

Whether it is the Qin Palace, or the East Palace, she is the only one in the backyard, His Royal Highness loves him, His Majesty seems to have acquiesced, she should be worry-free from now on, I didn't expect that she just didn't get that identity, yes, how could the emperor want to see such a situation.

Emperor Zhaoming's sharp eyes looked straight at her, waiting for her answer, Gu Qingyi's head was messy, she pinched the palm of her hand, and the sharp stinging pain barely allowed her to regain her senses, she heard her calm voice and asked, "Dare to ask my father, what will happen if the son is willing, and what will happen if he is unwilling?" ”

"The crown prince is my favorite prince, so naturally I won't change him, but you ......" Emperor Zhaoming's voice suddenly became cold, "The position of the queen is not only for you, for the sake of my great Zhou for thousands of generations, I am willing to be this wicked person." ”

Gu Qingyi heard the killing intent, and the emperor wanted to kill her.

The waiter didn't know when to bring a glass of wine, the color flowing on it was similar to the cup Gu Qingyi drank in her previous life, she knew that it must be a wine, as long as she answered wrong, this glass of wine could kill her.

Gu Qingyi fell into the war between heaven and man, if in her previous life, she didn't think there was anything wrong with a man's three wives and four concubines, when she married the abolished prince, she was ready to have him with countless women, but fate just played a joke, so that her life had a earth-shaking change, she met the king of Qin, and experienced a unique love and loyalty, so she could no longer bear to share him with other women.

Instead of sharing her lover, she would rather die.

But she is not only a wife, but also a mother, daughter and granddaughter, if she dies, what will happen to Xiaotuanzi and Xiaodouzi? Can dad and grandmother still endure the loss of their daughter once? What about Mu Yun? Will he be able to accept her death?

Gu Qingyi's heart seemed to be ravaged and cramped, she closed her eyes, tears flowed uncontrollably from her cheeks, as if she was not burdened, her head was buried deeply, her lips moved, and finally spit out those words with difficulty, "Okay, Erchen......"

"I don't want to!"

An angry male voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Gu Qingyi's words, she hurriedly looked back, and saw Bai Muyun striding over from the door, followed by several cabinet scholars with embarrassed expressions, thinking that they had just heard the conversation inside at the door.

Gu Qingyi hadn't seen Bai Muyun so angry for a long time, his whole person was like an explosive bag about to explode, his eyes were fierce like a wild wolf, when he passed her, he glared at her viciously, there was incomprehension, grievance, anger and sadness, as if Gu Qingyi had abandoned him.

In fact, as long as she makes that choice, there will always be a gap between the two, perhaps this is also one of the purposes of Emperor Zhaoming, as an emperor, he knows how to play with people's hearts too well.

For example, now, when he saw Bai Muyun breaking in, he didn't have much surprise, as if he had guessed that he would hear it, and even said in his usual voice, "You heard it, the crown princess is willing to choose a girl for you, and you are a man, and there is nothing wronged." Okay, that's it, it's time to draw up a decree. ”

He beckoned to a few scholars behind him, but Bai Muyun stretched out his hand and grabbed it, "Slow, father, the son of the emperor said, the son of the minister disagrees!" ”

Whether it was Emperor Zhaoming, or a few cabinet scholars next to him, they all looked at him in amazement, obviously not understanding why he would refuse, which man doesn't have the dream of three wives and four concubines? Now it's time to select a harem for him, and the crown princess has agreed, why doesn't he agree?

What made them even more incomprehensible was still to come, only to see Bai Muyun suddenly take off his crown, put his hands on the ground, and kowtow to Emperor Zhaoming, "The sons are not filial, and they live up to the expectations of their fathers. ”

At this moment, everyone was stunned, Gu Qingyi looked at the man beside him in a daze, moved to tears, his throat seemed to be choked by cork, and he couldn't say a single syllable.

Emperor Zhaoming was the same, but he was angry, he began to cough violently, his face turned red, and he was almost out of breath, Bai Muyun hurriedly stepped forward to calm his breath, Emperor Zhaoming finally calmed down, and pushed him away, there was still anger on his face, "Go away, I don't have such an angry son as you!" It's just a woman, you don't even want a great cause for her, you, you, you're not even as good as a waste prince! ”

Bai Muyun was pointed at his nose and scolded, but his attitude remained the same, "What's wrong with the sons respecting their wives?" Besides, Erchen already has a son and a daughter, and he may have more sons-in-law in the future, so why pamper other messy women and give birth to a bunch of concubines? ”

Emperor Zhaoming was so angry that he slapped the bed, "Don't forget, you are also a concubine!" ”

Bai Muyun sneered, "Yes, Erchen knows that he is a concubine, if he was not born in the palace, how can he be a concubine?" My mother, how could she be framed and die by the women of the harem? She should have lived a long life. ”

Emperor Zhaoming was silent for a moment, the dormitory was terrifyingly quiet, and the surrounding palace people and scholars were desperately trying to reduce their sense of existence, if they could, they even wanted to evacuate quickly, so as not to listen to the secret grievances between the father and son of the Heavenly Family, but they couldn't, and they continued to listen to Emperor Zhaoming's words, "Prince, are you resenting me?" ”

"Nope." Bai Muyun's expression was calm, "It is also the responsibility of Erchen to not protect his mother, how terrible a harem woman is, you should know that Erchen doesn't want the tragedy of his mother to happen again, let alone let Xiaotuanzi and Xiaodouzi lose their mother." ”

Emperor Zhaoming didn't say anything more, he closed his eyes tiredly, and when Bai Muyun saw this, he said to the helpless bachelor on the side, "Everyone, go back, there is no need to talk about the matter." ”

The scholars looked at each other, looked at the emperor on the bed, and saw that he did not express his position, it seems that the matter of the Zen throne has indeed changed, and even whether the prince can keep it has been in suspense.

They bowed and bowed, and withdrew with all sorts of thoughts.

Bai Muyun didn't pick up the crown prince, but walked to Gu Qingyi's side and glanced at her lightly, "Let's go." ”

Gu Qingyi knew that he was still angry, so he didn't dare to speak much, so he obediently followed him and left the emperor's bedroom.

As for what will happen next, who knows.
