Seeing Ning Fan's figure, Emperor Yu looked startled, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that this bastard would die in a foreign country!
Ning Fan couldn't help but look surprised when he looked at Emperor Yu's sallow complexion and slightly stooped figure. His face no longer had the imperial aura that he had shown before Yue Yue, pointing out the country and swallowing up the sun and the moon!
Moreover, the temperament released by Emperor Yu now is still different from that of Dian Wei.
Like Dian Wei, his expression was downcast, his face was stern, and he was in a trance. It was obviously the result of being negative and depressed after being injured.
Emperor Yu, on the other hand, is a bit like a hero in his twilight years, bowing his head to reality after going through hardships.
"My son, please pay homage to your father!"
"okay!"
Emperor Yu waved his hand impatiently and said angrily: "Come on, these are just useless things. Have you finished dealing with the matters in Dali?"
"Back to my father, you better not worry about these trivial matters. Listen to the little girl..."
"Ahem!"
Seeing Ning Fan's expression, Emperor Yu was also a little embarrassed. He took the hand of a young woman next to him and said gently: "Come, this is your Aunt Mei."
"Forehead!"
Ning Fan looked at the gentle-looking woman next to Emperor Yu with some surprise, his face full of weirdness.
As expected, I wanted to call her Aunt Mei.
Now, the two most favored concubines around Emperor Yu are both his.
"Father, you are pampered and comfortable in the palace, but the people around you are in trouble. Can you think of a way to make some money?"
"Um?"
Emperor Yu frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Now that I have handed over all the power to you, you still ask me for money?"
"No!"
"Not a penny!"
"So simple?" Ning Fan asked tentatively while observing Emperor Yu's expression: "You have been in power for so many years, don't you have some private money on hand?"
"Ah!"
Emperor Yu glanced at Ning Fan lightly and said calmly: "I do have some private money, three hundred and twenty-five taels of silver. If you need it, I will send someone to get it for you."
"Forget it!"
"But, having said that, father, now the world is about to start a dispute. Hu Nu is eyeing me, Dayu. Dayan is frustrated in the south, and he may point his gun at me, Dayu."
"Father, have you left any backup plan for your son?"
"Backhand?"
Emperor Yu secretly laughed in his heart and said angrily: "Now that all the civil and military officials in the hall have become your King Yong's people, what backup plan do I have?"
"Wow, Grandpa Huang is so pitiful!"
"puff!"
Looking at the little girl's expression, Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Emperor Yu, with his head full of black lines, held Ning Jinxiu in his arms, his face full of doting: "Girl, I am not pitiful. Now Those who are popular in this harem and drink spicy food are not like some people who are as tired as a dog all day long, busy here and there, busy here and there, worrying about this and that!"
"..." Ning Fan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Father, why are you criticizing Sanghuai here?"
"Just tell me your name!"
"By the way, I have something to discuss with you. I am preparing to ascend the throne...oh no!"
Looking at Emperor Yu's face that was about to kill, Ning Fan also smiled and said: "My son is preparing to enter the East Palace. When the time comes, please ask the father to come forward and confer the title!"
"Well, if you want, just seal it off!"
"Choose a day and send someone to inform me. Remember to inform the clan mansion first!"
"yes!"
"If there is nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first!"
Emperor Yu waved his hand and said softly: "Go. Since you are back, let King Sheng go back and rest. It is not good for the court to have no one in charge of the overall situation for so long. King Sheng is not good at government affairs."
"My son, I obey!"
Looking at Ning Fan's leaving figure, Emperor Yu also sighed sadly and said with emotion: "You have no choice but to grow up!"
…
"Mother!"
"You're back."
When the queen saw Ning Fan, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She looked around at Ning Fan and felt relieved.
"Is everything going well?"
"very smooth!"
Ning Fan smiled, then looked at the queen and said: "Mother, my son is ready to take over the East Palace!"
"Um……"
The queen's face also showed a bit of sadness, and she said calmly: "Have you discussed this matter with your father?"
"We have discussed it and my father agrees!"
"That's good, and it can save you some trouble."
"However, Fan'er..." The Queen suddenly looked at Ning Fan with a solemn expression, and said in a solemn tone: "I hope you will go to the Hidden Dragon Cave before entering the East Palace?"
"Hidden Dragon's Cave?"
Ning Fan's expression condensed. He was no stranger to this place. Back then, his mother gave him a wooden talisman, which she claimed was the secret key to the hidden dragon cave of the Great Zhou royal family.
But when he met Ye You in Huainan, the conversation between the two was not very in-depth, so the matter was not mentioned.
Unexpectedly, now, the Queen Mother would mention Hidden Dragon Cave again.
Is it possible that there is something hidden in it?
"Congratulations, master, for triggering a hidden mission - exploring the hidden dragon's lair!"
"Task requirements: Go to the Hidden Dragon Cave to obtain the relics of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and explore the hidden secrets of the Hidden Dragon Cave!"
"Mission time limit: three months!"
"Task reward: Unlock secret clue*1 and start bloodline inheritance!"
Hearing the system prompt sound in his mind, Ning Fan was startled, and looked at his mother with a little more suspicion.
"Mother, what is the secret of this hidden dragon's cave?"
"Why do you want to go at this time?"
"and……"
Before Ning Fan finished asking, the queen shook her head and said solemnly: "My mother also knows very little about the secrets of the Hidden Dragon Cave. You will understand after you go there."
"Fan'er, you have to remember that my surname in Zhou Dynasty is Jiang!"
"ginger?"
The confusion on Ning Fan's face became even stronger. He naturally knew his mother's surname, but now, what is the deep meaning of his mother's special emphasis on it?
"ginger……"
Seeing Ning Fan murmuring to himself, Jiang Jingchu said calmly: "I have already asked Ye You to come to the capital. In the past few days, you will handle the affairs of the court. When he arrives in the capital, you will go with him. Let’s go!”
"yes!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly, and the solemn look on Jiang Jingchu's face softened a lot. She looked at Ning Fan and said playfully: "I heard that you presented the beauty from the Western Regions next to your father?"
"Ahem!"
"Mother Mingjian, she was obviously the maid beside my son, but she was snatched away by the emperor."
"hehe!"
Jiang Jingchu's smile became more playful, but she also looked indifferent: "You must remember what I told you."
"After seeing Ye You, say hello to your mother!"
"yes!"
Ning Fan bowed respectfully and left the queen's bedroom. When he came outside the palace, he saw Dian Wei squatting in the corner, his expression downcast and his face colorless, like a helpless child in the wind and rain.
