"How can such a thing happen?"

"Yes, sir. Before that, the emperor had discussed the succession of the six princes......"

On that day, the official mentioned in the court that the six princesses had not been pregnant for a long time, and His Majesty's face was very unnatural...... It turns out that this is what is in mind!"

According to the report from the secret guard, Dong Shangshu knew that after the six princesses were childless and committed seven crimes in the court that day, the emperor and queen had retreated from the palace and had a few words about the six princesses' delay in becoming pregnant.

And the emperor originally planned to wait for the end of the early dynasty to find the orphan girl Li Mengyan, but he was disturbed by himself. So when the ministers left, His Majesty sat on the dragon chair for a long time, and when he looked up, he found that his face was gloomy...... I annoyed the emperor by mistake, it seems that the emperor will find an opportunity to go to Futian Temple next, right?

Dong Shangshu flicked his sleeves slightly, and the secret guard received the signal from his master, and immediately hid his figure.

Strange to say, though...... Why did the emperor neither summon the imperial doctor for treatment nor tell the fact that the six princesses could not conceive an heir in front of his ministers, but chose to follow this path...... Could it be that the emperor and queen already knew the fact that the sixth princess Lu was unable to have children?! Thinking of this, although Dong Shangshu was puzzled, he still had a bold judgment in his heart.

When did the emperor and queen learn about it? The six princesses were newly married for a month or earlier? No matter what they thought, in short, they had already figured out one thing——— it was impossible to expect the six princesses to give birth, and His Majesty also passed the idea, and planned to go to the orphan girl Li Mengyan. It's better to strike first, cut off the emperor's back road, and let the sixth prince Li Sishen can only choose from the two ways of setting up a side concubine and Heli. When the time comes...... He wanted to see what kind of choice the six princes would make.

"Someone, prepare a set of regular clothes for the officer......"

After making up his mind, Dong Shangshu took off his official uniform and changed into clothes, and went to Futian Courtyard alone.

"Everybody lined up and came one by one. Those who are registered in the register must be allowed to enter, and outsiders can report to the hospital for permission before they can be released......"

When they got there, Fukudain registered every person who entered and exited as usual. Dong Shangshu lined up in the crowd and looked at the person in front of him who bowed his head and wrote, and his mind fluctuated a little.

When it was his turn, the servants of the Futian Courtyard felt that Dong Shangshu was not like the people in this courtyard, and he was vigilant.

"Childe, please wait!"

"Huh?"

"Childe, you seem to have entered this hospital for the first time, and you are very unfamiliar, have you reported to the hospital?"

Dong Shangshu saw that the guards and servants were very attentive to him, so he casually said that he was a newcomer to Futian Courtyard to do chores, so he seemed to be a student. The guard servant asked Dong Shangshu for identification, and Dong Shangshu took out a plate from his arms and handed it to him without changing his face and in a hurry. After the guard servant saw it, he dispelled his doubts, and Dong Shangshu signed his name on the registration book and walked in smoothly.

Dong Shangshu entered Futian Courtyard and walked for a long time before stopping. The guards and servants were really well guarded, if he hadn't been prepared, he wouldn't have had this plate in his hand to prove that he was afraid of being interrogated! Dong Shangshu sorted out his thoughts slightly, he couldn't mess up. So, he used his identity as a miscellaneous worker as a cover to inquire about Li Mengyan's residence.

The hard work paid off, and finally he asked an old woman in the hospital who was suffering from eye disease. The old woman told him where Li Mengyan was. Following the direction indicated, Dong Shangshu thanked the old woman and came to Li Mengyan's door and knocked on the door.

Li Mengyan, who was sitting in the house and gently caressing the wedding dress, heard a knock on the door, she thought it was someone from the hospital, but when she opened the door, the unfamiliar face met her eyes, and she was slightly stunned in place.

"Childe...... Who are you looking for?"

"Miss Li, I will come to you on the orders of the steward. ”

Dong Shangshu saw that the person who opened the door was the Li girl that the emperor was looking for, and claimed to her that she was a new miscellaneous worker, and was assigned here by the housekeeper. Letting her look at the identity plate that had been forged in advance, Li Mengyan did not doubt that he had him, and without thinking about it, he asked Dong Shangshu to enter the room.

After Li Mengyan closed the door, Dong Shangshu revealed his motive for coming to find Li Mengyan. Li Mengyan heard him lie to himself, and he also knew his life experience. In desperation, he wanted to open the door and call for help from the others in the courtyard. But how could Dong Shangshu give her a chance so easily? Dong Shangshu's eyes were quick, and he stretched out a hand to quickly press against the door. Li Mengyan is a woman in the end, and her strength is not as strong as Dong Shangshu. She saw that she couldn't escape the room, so she had to talk to Dong Shangshu in a soft tone.

"Presumably you're not a handyman, are you?!What are you doing when you come to me in Futian Courtyard?"

Dong Shangshu heard Li Mengyan's words and said that someone of distinguished status would come to her soon, and Dong Shangshu hoped that Li Mengyan would not agree to the guest's request for succession.

What is he? How do you know? Is he here to report or is there something else?

Thinking of this, Li Mengyan suddenly became suspicious.

"Childe, who are you?"

Dong Shangshu told her that the people in the palace.

Miyazato ...... Li Mengyan knew that he had a named clan, according to the stranger in front of him...... Either the eunuchs around the emperor or the people of the harem. And...... Look at this Dong Shangshu who suddenly appeared in front of her...... I must know very well who is looking for her, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have infiltrated Futian Courtyard to look for her. Thinking of this, Li Mengyan said his thoughts.

"Childe, why did this girl agree to your request? Not to mention...... Childe took the liberty of coming here and didn't report his home, it's not reasonable or reasonable, right?"

"It's abrupt again, so that the girl misunderstood. However, this son did not have any malice in coming this time, and just wanted you not to agree to the succession. ”

Dong Shangshu frowned slightly when he heard Li Mengyan question his identity. If you tell Li Mengyan now, it will inevitably be leaked out by her. Dong Shangshu did not reveal his true identity to her, so she thought about it. After speaking, Dong Shangshu left Futian Courtyard without staying too long.

What a weirdo...... Who is this strange son? And what he said about the succession...... After Dong Shangshu walked out of the room, Li Mengyan's tense state relaxed, and he looked at the door and couldn't calm his heart for a long time.

Two days later, Fukudain welcomed a distinguished guest. This guest condescended to be noble, wearing ordinary robes and came to Li Mengyan's door, that person really didn't lie to her——— Li Mengyan waited as Dong Shangshu said two days ago, but she didn't think it was the emperor himself!

"Your Majesty, Wanfu Jin'an, the people's daughter Li Mengyan ......"

"Calm down, I don't intend to disturb others when I come here today, Sister Meng doesn't have to take care of these false courtesies. ”

Li Mengyan was surprised and quickly came back to her senses and respectfully bowed, and the emperor entered the house alone and told her that he had come here for this purpose. After listening to the emperor's narration, Li Mengyan understood in his heart why the previous Dong Shangshu, who refused to tell his name, asked her to refuse——— it turned out that it was because he wanted to cut off the emperor's succession, so that the six princes and the six princesses fell out of harmony...... That lord really has bad intentions, and he wants to take advantage of himself while also trying to reap the benefits!

The emperor saw that Li Mengyan had been silent and did not speak, and he waited patiently. Time passed little by little with the hourglass, and Li Mengyan finally looked up at the emperor.

"The people's daughter can't agree to your conditions, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. ”

"Can you tell me why?" Li Mengyan bit his lip lightly, his eyes wandered, and he didn't look directly.

"Folk Girl...... I like children very much, and I can't bear the pain of separation......"

"That's right...... Human nature is not thoughtful. Sister Meng, don't worry. After today, the matter will not be repeated. Just when I came here to catch up with you, I passed by and was thirsty and exchanged for a cup of tea. ”

"Your Majesty, the women of the people should keep it in mind. ”

Receiving her reply, the emperor got up and walked out of the house.
