Chapter 545: Now You're Alone

Sheng Zhiyao stuck out her tongue and changed the subject: "Grandpa Huang, the gifts from Grandma Huang have also begun to be prepared, and when the time comes, you and Grandma Huang will make an appearance together, it will be simple."

"Haha~" The emperor laughed heartily, "You ghostly girl."

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor wore a new crown to the court, and a group of civil officials looked at the emperor's new crown and knelt down to compliment: "The emperor is heroic, and the emperor is majestic."

The emperor was in a good mood, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to calm down and sit on the dragon chair: "I like this crown very much, and everyone has seen it, this is a gem from Xichu, and the workmanship is very exquisite, which is unique in the world today."

As he spoke, the emperor observed the expressions on the faces of the ministers, and after seeing the envy, jealousy and hatred of the ministers, his mood became more comfortable: "This is made by the county lord's Tianxiang Pavilion, therefore, I have decided that the Tianxiang Pavilion will be a royal business in the future, and all the items made will be produced by the royal family."

As soon as the emperor's words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

"The emperor is wise, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." The ministers kowtowed together.

The emperor bowed slightly: "All Aiqing is flat."

After everyone stood up, the emperor continued, "This time, the county lord also made some small gifts for the ministers."

The emperor waved his hand, and Grandpa Cui walked to the front with the tray.

There is a piece of white jade pendant placed in the tray, the jade pendant is as white as mutton fat, the carving is lifelike, and the back of the jade pendant has the official positions and names of the ministers written, which makes people can't help but be curious and want to take it over and play with it a few times.

The emperor was quite satisfied with these jade pendants, he coughed lightly and said, "This white jade jade pendant has a very beautiful meaning, and I hope that all the ministers can assist the holy monarch in the future, be loyal to the country, and benefit the people."

After speaking, the emperor ordered Gonggong Cui to distribute the jade pendants to the ministers.

The ministers took the jade pendant and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you to the emperor for giving you the jade pendant, thank you to the county lord."

The emperor smiled slightly, raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, and when his eyes fell on Feng Chongwu's body, the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow arc: "Chongwu, now you are still helping me take care of the government, you have worked hard!"

Feng Chongwu heard the emperor's greetings, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and replied, "The son is stupid, just doing his duty."

The emperor nodded, and then ordered, "I know that the princess has had a miscarriage recently, and you should not let down the people around you because of government affairs."

Speaking of Jiang Shaolan, Feng Chongwu's face suddenly darkened: "What my father taught me is that my son will definitely treat the princess well."

Feng Chongwu felt that something was wrong for a while, why did the emperor and the queen care so much about Jiang Shaolan's situation recently? Did they already know something? But apart from him and Jiang Shaolan himself, no third person knows about this matter.

Thinking of this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Feng Chongwu's eyes.

The emperor glanced at Feng Chongwu, and did not miss the murderous aura in his eyes just now, and the emperor's eyes sank: "You had to marry the Li family as your wife, and since you had children, we should take good care of them, this is the way to be a king."

Feng Chongwu lowered his eyebrows, not daring to refute the emperor's words: "What my father said is extremely true."

The emperor said a few words of encouragement, and then waved his hand to let the minister retreat.

Leaving the main hall, the ministers gathered in groups to discuss: "It's surprising that the emperor cares so much about Princess Wu's miscarriage."

Another minister chimed in: "Who says it's not, I heard that the princess had a miscarriage, and the queen sent a lot of supplements yesterday."

An older minister on the side interjected, "It seems that this is really not the right time for the daughter of the Guogong Mansion to marry."

"What do you mean by that?" The rest of the people immediately asked curiously.

The elderly minister sighed and said slowly, "Although Duke Yu Guo has a knighthood, he actually has no official position, and he has long been in a state of retirement, and as far as I know, he did not agree to his daughter marrying King Wu this time because this King Wu is close to the position of the crown prince."

"So what does it matter?"

"It doesn't matter, the emperor reuses the martial king so much, he must want to make the martial king the crown prince, I didn't hear the emperor's words just now

Is it? That's the way to be a king."

Hearing this, the ministers suddenly realized, "I see!"

"But...... What does this have to do with Princess Wu's miscarriage?" A young minister asked suspiciously, remembering that he had heard his father say that the reason why the emperor valued King Wu was not because King Wu was the only son left.

The elder minister explained: "You don't understand this, Princess Wu is a wife, an advanced door, how can she be a queen in the future, although her belly is gone, but how can she also be pregnant with the eldest son, naturally different from the daughter of Yu Guogong."

When the others heard this, they all nodded in agreement: "That's true, after all, the royal heirs are much more precious than our ordinary official families."

"Yes! If you don't take care of your body, you'll have it again soon!"

The elder minister touched his beard and laughed, "If that's the case, then we should congratulate King Wu."

Feng Chongwu walked on the road, thinking about what the emperor had just said, and he was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a curvature.

The emperor's importance to him made him even more convinced that the emperor would let him ascend to the position of the crown prince sooner or later.

In addition, now that the emperor and queen value Jiang Shaolan so much, it seems that the emperor has the intention to make Jiang Shaolan the crown princess!

The more Feng Chongwu thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and rush back to his palace.

Not long after Feng Chongwu left, a man in black quietly came to the emperor's imperial study.

"Master, my subordinates have checked, and the princess's miscarriage was indeed committed by Yu Guogong." The man in black lowered his head and said respectfully, he is not only the captain of the emperor's secret guard, but also the shadow of the emperor.

"yes, I do." The emperor replied lightly, and then ordered: "Continue to keep an eye on the Guogong Mansion, and if there is any change, report it directly."

"Yes!"

After the emperor finished explaining, he waved his hand to let the shadow retreat.

At this time, Grandpa Cui walked in with tea, and seeing that the emperor's face was not good, Grandpa Cui hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Majesty, you want to go to the queen's place to sit."

The emperor shook his head and sat down at the table to read the folds.

Seeing this, Grandpa Cui didn't ask much, turned around and silently prepared to withdraw.

"Grandpa Cui." Suddenly, the emperor opened his mouth and called.

"The old slave is here." Grandpa Cui stopped and hurriedly replied.

"You say, if one day I die, what will happen to the Warrior King?" The emperor asked in a very flat tone.

Gonggong Cui was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he fell to his knees with a thud: "Your Majesty, don't say such frustrating words, you are still young."
