As the saying goes, it is the hardest to guess the heart of the emperor.

Father-in-law Maizi originally thought that he was the one who knew Emperor Longqing best, and Emperor Longqing would never hide anything from him.

However, this time, Emperor Longqing made him really understand how ridiculous his recent self-righteousness was.

Zhu Lingjun, the third prince, was so angry that he vomited blood, and after waking up, the first sentence of Emperor Longqing was to ask Concubine Li to come to his side to serve, the second sentence was what happened in the imperial study, and no fourth person was allowed to know, and the third sentence was that the imperial doctor was not allowed to leave the dormitory.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Longqing summoned Jiang Rusong to meet him after two days of confinement of the imperial doctor, and asked whether the generals in Ningxia had made arrangements and did not avoid him at that time, he was afraid that he would not have known until his death that Emperor Longqing had other arrangements for "letting someone in the Imperial Forest Army leak" secrets and causing the Ningxia family to rob the Shen family's wedding team.

"Who hasn't been young and in their prime?"

"When I was so old with him, didn't I have the audacity to be angry with my mother, shouting that you wouldn't marry?"

Failing to get the result he hoped for, Emperor Longqing sighed lightly, turned his gaze back to Concubine Li's face, and smiled at the corner of his lips, as if he remembered the past.

"People, you always have to eat a trench to grow wise."

"Just like back then, my mother threatened me with your life in order to avoid detours, so I had to retreat."

"Now, I understand how many entanglements and melancholy I have to face to lead my favorite child to the right path, in order to get what I want."

After that, Emperor Longqing turned over, curled up childlikely, and complained to Concubine Li with grievances.

"That bastard, it's time to hate me to death."

"What if you don't want to come to see me in the future......

Stretching out his hand to help Emperor Longqing caress his back, Concubine Li's eyes were full of tenderness.

At this time, she is like a quiet sea, which can accommodate all things.

"Look at what you said, how can father and son have an overnight feud!"

"Wait for that girl to come back safely, and then rearrange the life experience for that girl, that bastard boy will naturally understand that you are doing this for the two of them......"

Speaking of his new background, Li paused slightly.

As a father, Emperor Longqing, the king of the country, has actually done something.

After all, he is still a little softer than the former Concubine Du Kang, to be exact, the Empress Dowager Xiaoke, and his favorite children.

This is beneficial for him and Ling Jun to maintain an intimate relationship, but it is not much good for Ling Jun's future, unless, Ling Jun's future is just an idle prince, not a lonely person who sits in that seat.

The chair, shiny and majestic.

But only those who actually sit on it will really understand that what comes with "all the people bow down and come from all directions" is the loneliness and fear that become the target of everyone.

The more you care, the more you want to protect, the more careless you have to behave, otherwise......

"That girl, with a sharp temperament, is like a ......"

Emperor Longqing didn't say who Liu Qingxin's temperament resembled, he sighed softly, and covered his closed eyes with his right arm.

There is a person who is a pain that he can't erase for the rest of his life.

Once upon a time, he hated her, alienated her, and allowed others to hurt her, hoping to use her flesh and blood to build a barrier and hide the people he loved.

Unexpectedly, in exchange for several years of injury, it was the person's deep affection, and the man fought for his life in exchange.

He remembered vividly that she had drunk the poisoned wine, poured it into his arms, and had spoken in his ear as she died.

Spear and shield, I have left for you.

They are not related to you by blood, so don't give up.

Over the years, he has been extremely fond of the "spear" and "shield" left by Li Miaoer for him, and under the guise of his deep affection for Li Miaoer, he has supported the Deping Bo Mansion to weaken the growing power of the Five Grand Dukes.

Just as he expected, when the world pampered his eldest son and focused all his attention on Zhu Lingjun, Zhu Lingjun, the son who really pleased him, had already broken through the mud and grown into a good tree that no one could shake.

"There are so many people in this world who look alike."

"It matters who she is, not who she looks like."

Concubine Li obviously knew who the person mentioned by Emperor Longqing was.

She shook her head with a smile, leaned over, and imprinted a thin kiss on his forehead.

Li Miaoer.

Although everything that man did was voluntary, in the final analysis, if it wasn't for the protection of their mother and son, there was no need for Emperor Longqing to ruthlessly drag the person who had an obsession with him into the water.

"I heard that there is a young lady in Depingbo Mansion, named Li Jiangxue, who has been stalking that bastard boy all these years."

"You say, if I give her a fulfillment, will she become the second Li Miao'er?"

The use of women as a shield is a despise for many people, especially in the Ming Dynasty.

When Li Jiangxue was mentioned, Emperor Longqing's cheeks flushed with a hint of red, obviously, he was not willing to engage in this kind of despicability, but for the sake of Ling Jun and his favorite son, he was willing to give up some face, even, good name.

"No, it won't."

Concubine Li replied simply, as if she had known for a long time that Emperor Longqing would have such thoughts.

"Depingbo's Mansion is no longer what it used to be."

"Just from a few years ago, you still don't understand the matter of being solved by that girl's plan?"

Concubine Li didn't know that it was Shen Hongxue who used trade to suppress the person who was about to move in Depingbo Mansion.

In her mind, the man who was laid out on the surface to deal with the wrath of De Pingbo's Mansion must be just a front that could be discarded at any time.

After all, a woman who only lived in Yanjing for a few days, tossed several major martial arts families with uneasy sleep and food, and sent people to complain to Emperor Longqing, is not good at hiding herself, it is unreasonable, and it is unreasonable if she is not loyal.

She has been using "you" instead of "Your Majesty" to address Emperor Longqing, which makes Maizi's father-in-law, who has been waiting next to the imperial couch and waiting to listen to orders, feel a little "brighter" in his heart.

Over the years, he has always felt that Emperor Longqing has changed, his words and deeds are no longer when he was a teenager, and later, after a long time, he got used to it, so he convinced himself that the Tao was caused by different identities.

However, now, after witnessing him getting along with Concubine Li, I understand that he has not changed at all, the difference is just that he has an extra face for others to see, and he was "coincidentally" placed in the category of "others" before.

"That's right."

"The current Depingbo Mansion is like the Five Dukes' Mansion back then."

"It's time to raise another family to balance him."

As he spoke, Emperor Longqing sat on the imperial couch, not shying away from Concubine Li at all, wrenching his fingers and counting the families that were qualified to be supported, able to compete with the existing forces, and would not "grow" too fast.
