Chapter 469: The Road Ahead
Hearing this, Zhu Xinghe was stunned, but he didn't expect that the emperor would say this to Zhuo Anxun!
Ling Tianhan also frowned, he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
Zhu Xinghe understood that he was trying to say that with or without Zhuo Anxun's promise, their family was enough to protect themselves. But this is the emperor's intention, and perhaps it is also the emperor's obsession, so they should also give the emperor this opportunity.
Hearing this, Zhuo Anxun also turned his head and looked at Ling Tianhan and Zhu Xinghe.
He first looked at Ling Tianhan's body, and then smiled bitterly. Then he looked at Zhu Xinghe again, and finally his eyes fell on Zhu Xinghe's lower abdomen, although he was unwilling, he still nodded: "Erchen...... Got it! No matter what happens in the future, the son and the father promise that they will not hurt King Han and his family in this life. β
With such a promise, the emperor seemed to be relieved.
He picked up the pen in his hand again and wrote Zhuo Anxun's name on the edict one by one.
And the sky outside has been brightenedβ
This day seems to be a very unusual day for the people of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, especially the people in Beijing.
In the middle of the night, the Imperial Guards guarded every street in the vast capital. Moreover, I heard that several ministers in Beijing had no news after entering the palace at night, and did not go home, which was panicking.
But in the morning, all the Imperial Forest Army on the streets of Beijing suddenly disappeared! As if nothing had happened, the ministers who had no news in the early dynasty all appeared in the court. Except for the two ministers who returned to their hometowns, one minister died violently, and another imperial doctor resigned and disappeared, there has been no change.
It's just that those who care about it can still notice that the yellow eyes that have been facing up in the morning are red, and the hair is a little messy, as if they didn't sleep well last night.
And this day is destined to be an extraordinary day for the entire Eastern Yuan Dynasty.
Because of the early dynasty, the emperor announced a very important news: seven days later, he will be at the altar, the throne of the current Prince Zhuo Anxun His Royal Highness!
As soon as this news came out, everyone felt unexpected.
After all, since the beginning of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, it has always been after the death of the previous emperor that the next crown prince can take over the throne from the emperor. Even when the princes seized power during the period of the first emperor, it was not until the last month before the death of the first emperor that the current saint was canonized as the crown prince, but it was also after the death of the first emperor that the saint took over the throne and became the emperor.
It is rumored in Beijing that His Royal Highness Prince Xun will definitely become the crown prince. But no one thought that he could directly skip the step of "prince" and become the emperor!
In the early dynasty, although the ministers had many questions about this matter, the emperor finally did not explain anything, only said that everyone should prepare for the Zen ceremony after seven days.
And in the early dynasty, Zhu Xinghe had not yet returned to his house.
Together with Ling Guifei Niangniang, she was invited to her palace by Ning Guifei Niangniang.
Although Ning Guifei is now a concubine, she and Ling Guifei control the power of life and death in the harem. But her hall is still as simple and pure as before, only accompanied by Buddha statues, as if in this Hongchen Palace can also be accompanied by green lanterns and ancient Buddhas.
After Ling Guifei Niangniang entered with Zhu Xinghe, Ning Guifei Niangniang first put on a stick of incense, and then sighed to them: "I can save Xun'er's life this time, I want to thank you!" β
Sure enough, Concubine Ning knew that Zhuo Anxun had done many things wrong, so she was raising Zhuo Anxun in her own way.
Ling Guifei Niangniang and Ning Guifei Niangniang have cherished each other in the palace all these years, but what happened today, she did not blame Ning Guifei Niangniang, but stepped forward and took Ning Guifei Niangniang's hand: "What is there to thank you?" I am for the emperor, and these two children are also for the emperor. What's more, the current Eastern Yuan Dynasty, if there is no child, I am afraid that it will really collapse. The emperor also understands in his heart that the emperor is just angry about many things. β
These words made Ning Guifei's eyes redden: "It's really too much to find a child." I always thought that if I was cold enough, he would be able to look back and think about it one day. But now I know that I was wrong. I don't know who this child's stubbornness and suspicion are, and when I learned about it in the middle of the night last night, I was really scared. I think the emperor's suspicion is not unreasonable, how is this child better than Prince Ping back then? β
As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Zhu Xinghe apologetically: "Ah Xing, your child's business...... I already know. β
The child is actually fine, but Zhu Xinghe doesn't know whether to tell Ning Guifei Niangniang.
Seeing Ning Guifei step forward, she also took Zhu Xinghe's hand: "Ah Xing, also as a mother, I'm really angry. I didn't expect Xun'er to do such a thing. β
"But ......"
She lowered her head, took a deep breath, and choked up a little: "I'm not trying to explain for Xun'er, let alone help him excuse anything." Ah Xing, I just wanted to tell you that Xun'er's idea is actually just too selfish. He thinks that as long as there are no children between you and His Royal Highness King Han, there is always hope for him. Ah Xing, I don't know what he has done to others over the years, but what about you...... He meant it! β
Saying that, Ning Guifei couldn't help wiping a handful of tears: "It's just that this kid has no blessing, and he doesn't have that qualification." His mind is too heavy, he can't give Ah Xing happiness to you, let alone give him happiness for himself. Ah Xing, if you want to exchange a life for the life of the child in your womb, then this palace is willing to pay for it with life. But I just ask you two couples, don't really give up looking for a child because of this incident, okay? β
When Ning Guifei Niangniang spoke to Zhu Xinghe, she almost spoke in a pleading tone: "We old guys, sooner or later, we will leave Xun'er's side." If there is no more of you, I am really afraid that he will go astray! Ah Xing, I should beg you, okay? β
If it weren't for Ling Guifei's support, Ning Guifei would almost have to kneel down with Zhu Xinghe!
How can I wish Xinghe to stand like this?
was also busy stepping forward to help Ning Guifei Niangniang: "Niangniang doesn't have to be like this. His Royal Highness King Han and I will not do anything to His Royal Highness Prince Xun because of this matter. As long as he works hard and becomes a good emperor, we will still support him! β
Zhu Xinghe never thought that from this angle and this position, she would not be able to bring any more personal feelings.
Because even if it's for the sake of the child, she doesn't want to help Zhuo Anxun!
