The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Emperor Yong lay on the couch, looking up with hollow eyes, and did not say a word for half a day.
Huang Pei was very worried about Emperor Yong. He had been staying by the side for the past few days, whispering a few words from time to time.
Although Emperor Yong had no intention of answering, Huang Pei still enjoyed it. He only hoped to make Emperor Yong happy.
Huang Peizheng was talking about the prince's wedding a few days ago, and Emperor Yong suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Did the queen come to see me when I was asleep?"
Huang Pei choked slightly when he heard this, but nodded in an instant.
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been here! But Your Majesty was sleeping soundly at that time, and Your Majesty asked your servants not to wake Your Majesty."
Emperor Yong suddenly turned his head when he heard this. Although his face was pale, his eyes were sharp and he still had the air of an emperor.
"Huang Pei, are you telling lies to me now?"
Huang Pei trembled all over and hurriedly knelt down by the couch, shouting that he didn't dare.
Emperor Yong saw Huang Pei kowtow several times, and suddenly felt bored again.
There is only Huang Pei beside him. If he is driven away again, who else will come to accompany him?
"Huang Pei, if you tell me to change places and I'm not in Yangxin Hall, will the queen come?"
Huang Pei's eyes suddenly sore when he heard this.
The Holy One still remembers His Majesty’s decisive words, but this is no longer a problem with the Yangxin Palace. It’s because the Queen has completely lost her heart towards the Holy One...
"Your Majesty, do you want my servant, Queen Xuan, to come and take a look?"
A trace of hesitation flashed across Emperor Yong's face, but he finally shook his head, "That's all, if she doesn't want to come, there's no need to force her."
After saying these few words, Emperor Yong felt tired and couldn't hold on any longer.
At this time, a young eunuch came in and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the four princes outside the palace want to see you."
Huang Pei's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness has come to see you. Please meet him."
Emperor Yong thought for a moment and nodded.
He turned his head and looked outside, and saw a small figure walking in calmly, and soon stood in front of the bed.
"My son, I will meet my father."
Every move is impeccable.
"Get up."
Emperor Yong said lightly, and when the fourth prince stood up, he took a serious look at his youngest son for the first time.
Zhan'er's features look more like him, while Xiaosi's appearance looks more like his mother's.
The round and bright eyes are almost exactly like his mother's.
Why hadn't he discovered it before?
"Father, how do you feel? I haven't disturbed your rest, right?"
The fourth prince asked respectfully, not like the greetings between father and son, but more like a monarch and his ministers.
Emperor Yong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, it was because of his past sins that the children were not close to him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly lost interest, felt tired and fell into drowsiness.
Emperor Yong originally wanted the fourth prince to leave first, but the fourth prince said he wanted to stay here for a while and wait for Emperor Yong to fall asleep before leaving.
When Huang Pei saw this, he wisely retreated outside.
Now that the Holy One is extremely fragile, it would be a good idea to let the Fourth Prince accompany the Holy One.
Emperor Yong closed his eyes and fell asleep within a few breaths. Seeing this, the fourth prince knelt in front of the couch and slowly took Emperor Yong's hand.
There was no one around, so the fourth prince took out a white talisman from his sleeve and placed it in Emperor Yong's hand.
He slowly closed the palm of Emperor Yong's hand, which soon emitted a burst of golden light, and then disappeared.
After the fourth prince finished doing this, he looked at Emperor Yong with a complex expression, and then quietly stepped out.
————
Emperor Yong had a very long dream, so long that it seemed as if he had experienced another life.
When he saw that he had received Yu Liu's letter of surrender and portrait, he still insisted on accepting the letter of surrender and ordered Qiao Zhongguo to withdraw his troops.
All the following trajectories are the same as in this life, including using the red thread method of reincarnation, forcing the queen, and giving birth to Xiaosi.
The bifurcation point occurred on Xiaosi's fourth birthday.
He clearly remembered that Xiaosi came back from Chunhua Garden alive, but in the dream, Xiaosi was dead.
When he got the news and hurried to the edge of Yuhua Lake, he saw the queen and the prince kneeling there, holding Xiao Si's already white body and crying heartbrokenly.
He was in great pain, but in the dream he was standing aside, with a look of sadness on his face, but in reality he was extremely indifferent.
He saw that he coldly ordered a thorough investigation, and later found the suspicious Yu Zhaoyi, and followed the clues and discovered that the second child seemed to be involved.
After weighing the matter, he pulled Yu Zhaoyi out to take the blame and settled the matter.
After all, Lao Er is his and Yu Liu's son. He promised Yu Liu that he would protect Lao Er no matter what.
Later, his suspicion of Qiao Zhongguo deepened, but he couldn't find anything wrong with Qiao Zhongguo, until one day someone reported secretly that Qiao Zhongguo was colluding with the enemy and treason, and was suspected of rebellion!
He immediately ordered the Qiao family to be confiscated. At that time, Mrs. Qiao had just passed away, and the Qiao family was in mourning.
Finally, his people found evidence of collaboration with the enemy and treason from Qiao Zhongguo's study. He broke out in the Jinluan Palace and sentenced Qiao Zhongguo to death!
At that time, more than half of the officials in the palace knelt down to plead with Qiao Zhongguo, which made him even more afraid of Qiao Zhongguo's prestige.
Next, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi beat the drum several times and ran around to redress their grievances, but they were suppressed by him.
On the day that Qiao Zhongguo was beheaded, according to reports from informants, people walked down the street to see him off, with tears streaming down his face.
He was very proud. It seemed that he had really killed the right Qiao Zhongguo. Otherwise, wouldn't he have achieved great success and shocked the master?
Later, the fight between the prince and the second child began to be brought to light. The prince had no fault, but in his heart, he preferred the second child who was very similar to him.
So he deliberately allowed the two to fight because he also wanted to see their respective methods.
As a result, the Yuzhou flood happened at this time, and the people suffered heavy casualties. Both of them were at fault!
In anger, he punished both of them severely.
I thought I could finally calm down for a while, but at this time, someone from the palace came to report secretly, saying that a portrait of Yu Liu was found in the East Palace, and it was filthy!
When the dream came to this point, an uncontrollable fear arose in his heart, because he already knew that the prince had been slandered regarding the portrait!
But in the dream, he not only didn't know, but also never tried to find out the truth. Instead, he called the prince directly in anger and started questioning him.
However, at this time, the prince asked him about Xiao Si's death, leaving him speechless.
"Father, that is Xiao Si, your own flesh and blood! The son, minister and mother hurt him to the core. You are forcefully taking half of their lives!"
"He died alone in the lake at such a young age. Father, Xiao Si must have been so scared at that time. When he struggled, he must have shouted for us to save him!"
The prince knelt in front of him and cried out, clutching his chest with one hand, clutching it until his face twisted in pain.
In the dream, he looked so condescendingly, with a look of indifference and numbness on his face that made him shudder!
"Prince, Xiaosi shouldn't have been born. If it weren't for Yu Liu, he wouldn't even have a chance to be born."
"I originally hoped that he was the reincarnation of Yu Liu, but now it seems that the evil folk laws cannot be believed. He wants to return to heaven and earth, and this is his destiny."
After these cold words were spoken, the prince suddenly raised his head. When he looked at him, his eyes were filled with strangeness, fear, and despair...
