"Father..." The prince died of grievance.
The emperor sighed, "I have high demands on you because of my deep love and deep responsibility. You are the crown prince, which is different from your other brothers. I want to pass on this position of unification to you!"
The throne was given to the prince, so naturally more love would be given to other sons.
"I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."
The prince clenched his fists, his face was submissive, and he was filled with hatred in his heart, "I understand my father's hard work, thank you!"
"Go, don't worry about this matter." The emperor said.
"My son, please retire."
The prince withdrew from the palace with a dark face.
The prince did not feel the depth of love and responsibility.
But his father made him lose face in front of Xiao Yuchen's son, and he felt it deeply!
"He's always like this! Use those high-sounding words to dismiss Gu! Gu is now in his thirties, not three years old!" The prince was so angry that he flew into a rage when he returned to the East Palace.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, please calm down. This is the East Palace, and your every word and deed may be known to the Holy One." The chamberlain quickly advised.
The prince became even more angry when he heard this.
"This won't work, that won't work either! What's the point of what this prince is doing?!"
"Hush, hush... Your Highness! Be careful what you say!" The chamberlain was dying of anxiety.
"Gu is already in his thirties, and he will be in his prime in a few years! How many more years does Gu have left to live?" The prince fell down on the couch, "I have had enough of these days of humiliation! The prince, Gu, , not only have to tolerate the eldest sister, but also the younger brothers! Should I be the crown prince? Or the grandson!"
The waiter quickly closed the window and closed the door, lest anyone with a heart could hear what he said.
The prince must have been feeling aggrieved for too long, and he would not give up until his anger came out.
"How many years?" the prince suddenly asked.
The waiter was stunned, "What?"
"How many years have you been the crown prince alone? How many more years do you have to do it? How many more years do you have to pretend to be a grandson, pretend to be brothers and sisters?" The prince sneered, "Father is old and confused. This throne..."
The chamberlain was startled and quickly looked outside.
"Go and summon Gu's staff." The prince's eyes narrowed and he made up his mind!
After more than thirty years of being crown prince...he was just one step away. It's just this one step away, so frustrating.
The prince's closest confidants gathered in the East Palace to discuss matters in secret.
"Now is a great opportunity. The people we have arranged around father can be used," the prince said.
His confidants advised him to endure it a little longer. The emperor was old and he could not endure it for a few more years.
"I can't bear it any longer!"
The prince said angrily, "Look at Gu, he is getting healthier and healthier! When he pointed at Gu's nose and scolded him today, he was very angry!"
Seeing that they could not persuade him, his confidants had no choice but to make suggestions.
If this big plan can come true, they will be the ministers of the Dragon!
"I heard that Princess Huai has good medical skills and is quite capable of making medicines. Today, Princess Huai's son is with the emperor, so the blame for this matter can be put on that child!"
When the prince heard this, his eyes lit up, "What a great idea!"
"It can not only ensure that the chess piece that His Highness has painstakingly arranged will not die, but also make King Huai unable to stand up again!" said the staff.
The prince took a deep breath, and the gloom on his face was gradually replaced by ecstasy, "Okay! Okay! That's it!"
"It's just that the risk of this matter is huge. It must succeed. If it doesn't succeed..." the staff did not continue.
But everyone's expressions became solemn.
If the prince hadn't been too impatient, there would have been no need for them to take this risky move.
Waiting for the emperor to grow old honestly, the prince is a legitimate monarch.
The difficulty lies in...the emperor's health is too good, especially recently, the emperor is more energetic than before. The emperor used to doze off when he went to court, but recently he was in high spirits, swearing at people in court, and was full of energy.
The prince looked haggard due to frustration, and looked not as energetic as the emperor.
If I continue to hold it in, I don’t know if my son will be able to survive me.
"His name is Gao Chenggong, he will definitely succeed!" The prince put down the tea cup and made a clanging sound, which seemed to prove his determination.
Gao Chenggong is the godson of Eunuch Gao.
He is very smart and very down-to-earth.
Many of these little eunuchs wanted to adopt Eunuch Gao as their godfather, but only Gao Chenggong succeeded.
Eunuch Gao was very satisfied with his cleverness and loyalty, and always taught him carefully and gave him guidance.
He is young and can already serve in the Imperial Palace. He is the fastest and tallest eunuch among the same batch of eunuchs.
At this time, Gao Chenggong stood in the palace, his head lowered, but he glanced at the emperor and Wen Yu beside the emperor out of the corner of his eye.
"Are you willing to stay with Grandpa Huang tonight?" the emperor asked Wen Yu.
Wen Yu nodded, "Yu'er is willing. Grandpa Huang is too lonely. There is no one to play with Grandpa Huang in such a big hall. Yu'er will play with you."
"Then tell your parents yourself." The emperor smiled.
The emperor summoned Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin into the palace, looked at Wen Yu with a half-smile, and motioned for him to speak.
"Dad, Mom, Yu'er will not go back to your home with you tonight. Yu'er will stay with Grandpa Huang..."
The two were shocked.
"No!" Xiao Yuchen raised his head and exclaimed, "Yu'er, you are young and ignorant. Not everyone can stay in the palace overnight."
The emperor snorted coldly, "I haven't settled the score with you yet! Since this is your son, the princess you married gave birth to you! Why have you concealed it for so many years?!"
Xiao Yuchen hurriedly knelt down and leaned over, "It was my son who was unfilial... my son was willful and locked them up in a cold courtyard for several years to punish her..."
"Nonsense!" the emperor yelled, "I'm too lazy to reason with you! I'll fine you one year of food and fief tax, and turn it over to the treasury!"
"I have already agreed that Yu'er will stay in the palace tonight. Please resign and leave the palace!" The emperor waved his hand impatiently.
When my son gets older, he tends to make people angry, but my grandson is still cute and fun.
"Father..." How dare Xiao Yuchen leave Wen Yu alone in the palace.
The water in the palace is deep, and the child is too young to handle it.
And he and his son just met today! One of them is that he is afraid that he will say the wrong thing. Secondly, he can’t wait to develop a father-son relationship with his son!
"If you say one more word, the punishment will be more than that!" the emperor warned coldly.
He still prefers this younger son in his heart, and he also knows that his younger son is talented.
But Daliang paid attention to the establishment of direct descendants. He could not pass the throne to this favored son, so he could only give him more fatherly love and tolerance.
"Get out of here," said the emperor.
Xiao Yuchen's brows knitted into knots. He didn't notice at all that Wen Jin and Wen Yu were flirting with each other.
The tacit understanding between mother and son that comes from getting along day and night is unimaginable to others.
Wen Yu told Wen Jin with colorful expressions that Grandpa Huang was very kind and loving to him and did not embarrass him.
He stayed voluntarily. He would be obedient and take good care of himself, so Wen Jin could rest assured.
"Your Highness, let's go." After Wen Jin warned his son with his eyebrows, he went to persuade Xiao Yuchen.
"Don't worry, he's fine." Wen Jin whispered, fearing that he would be stubborn.
The emperor saw the two of them whispering to each other, looking "deeply affectionate", stroking their beards, and was very satisfied.
