Chapter 196 Playing on occasion
The fifth prince was determined to win the throne, so he investigated everything that could happen between the concubines in the harem and his father.
He knew why Concubine Yuan Gui had no children of her own. It was because his father never believed in Duke Xu, and he was afraid of Duke Xu and Li Qun.
As for why he is afraid, it has to talk about his mother and concubine.
When the fifth prince first inquired about these things, he was a little surprised, because he did not expect that his mother-in-law was so powerful when she was young.
She was able to make the two most powerful men in the world be impressed by her and fall in love with her.
But the mother-in-law chose his father in the end and lived an ordinary and good life in the palace. After all, in the hearts of the fifth prince, Cui Xiu was a vain woman.
Now the situation has changed and her good days are about to end, so she is anxious now.
"Mother, you finally understand my son's painstaking efforts. All these things I have done over the years are to make our lives easier in the future."
"No one has ever wanted to Go and fight. In fact, if we don’t fight, someone will always force us to fight.”
The fifth prince took out all the words he had hidden in his heart for a long time and talked to Cui Xiu. At the same time, he deliberately exaggerated a lot.
He wanted Cui Xiu to understand that there is no good life for no reason, and there is no day that lasts forever. If you want to live well, you have to fight for it.
You have to use your brains to get the position that everyone wants.
Only when you successfully obtain it, can a good life be temporarily "eternal".
Cui Xiu did not continue what the fifth prince said, because he could feel that the fifth prince was indeed a little excited now.
"Now that you can support me like this, as a son, I am really touched."
"Mother and concubine, I will definitely not let you down."
"My son will meet Let you become the Queen Mother."
The fifth prince vowed to Cui Xiu with great emotion, and he could even imagine the scene when he ascended the throne.
The scene when everyone said to him, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Cui Xiu watched the fifth prince nod his head, with a happy smile on his face.
"Okay, my mother and concubine believe in you. I believe you in whatever you say."
"Just do whatever you want."
Cui Xiu and Wu The prince plays the affectionate role of mother and son here. At the same time, Concubine Yun is still taking care of the emperor in the Yangxin Palace. The sixth prince, who has not seen his mother for a long time, went to the Yangxin Palace specifically.
"My sons and ministers see their father."
"See my concubine."
The lying emperor saw the sixth prince coming. He raised his hand casually and said, "Get up."
The emperor's body was getting stronger and stronger. No, Concubine Yun has been taking care of her during this period, but Cui Xiu has never been there even once.
Although there was some estrangement between the emperor and Concubine Yun, when he was ill, Concubine Yun still took care of him so seriously regardless of past grudges, and he also kept it in mind.
As the saying goes, couples quarreled at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. After so many years, the emperor felt that Concubine Yun Guifei should have calmed down long ago.
After all, he cannot be blamed for everything that happened back then. The situation was like that at that time. Even if Concubine Yun Guifei went to his father's funeral, it would be impossible for his father to come back from the dead.
Whether he sees that side or not is not that important compared to his future.
If Concubine Yun Gui had gone, the late emperor would definitely have cast doubt on her, and he might not have been able to win the final victory. Then Xu Yanyun will not be Concubine Yun.
Now all this is gone.
"Your Majesty, I'll go and see how the dinner is being prepared first."
After saying that, Concubine Yun left, leaving only the Sixth Prince and the Emperor in the same room.
After all, the emperor has not had a good conversation with the sixth prince after so many years. In the past, he only talked to Xiao Wu.
In the emperor's opinion, Xiao Wu is a good boy and the child who is most like him.
But after all these days, his favorite fifth prince has never visited him once.
Don't know where it went.
Could it be that you blame him for punishing his biological mother? The emperor didn't know whether the fifth prince knew that Ning Bin was his biological mother.
If he knew, he would blame him after all.
The emperor couldn't help but feel a little lonely when he thought of this. The sixth prince noticed the change in the emperor's expression, and asked with concern: "Father, are you worried about something?"
" If it’s convenient, you can talk to me.”
"My son, I came here this time to chat with my father."
The sixth prince behaved very calmly and was very willing to get close to the emperor. This made the emperor feel that he had neglected the sixth prince for so many years, right? Something isn't quite right?
After all, the sixth prince is not a bad boy. He has neglected him for so many years, but now he can still come to her and say that he wants to solve his problems.
Such a child is somewhat distressing.
When the emperor heard the sixth prince's words, he looked over. Seeing the sincerity in the sixth prince's eyes, he must not be lying to him.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my body is getting worse every year."
"Now that you brothers are getting older, it's time to shoulder your own burdens."
As the emperor spoke, a long-lost smile appeared on his face. At this time, he looked particularly like a kind father, chatting kindly to his son about home affairs.
When the sixth prince heard the emperor's words, the smile on his face did not change. On the surface, he looked relaxed, but in fact, his heart was tightened and he did not relax at all.
Because the Sixth Prince knew that the Emperor was good at spying on people's hearts. If he showed anything amiss, their father would see it clearly.
"Father, you are so humble. It is not a problem for your body to live for another few decades."
"It is just a small illness now and will be cured soon."
"My sons and ministers still need a lot of experience."
What the Sixth Prince said was beautiful. Hearing these words made the Emperor feel warm in his heart. He felt that the Sixth Prince was originally rigid. The impression has changed to a certain extent.
The emperor felt that the sixth prince might not be his son. After all, he seemed to feel the sense of destiny between them.
The Sixth Prince chatted with the Emperor for a while in the Yangxin Hall. After Concubine Yun Gui came back, the three of them had a meal together.
After some time, the emperor's health gradually improved, and his relationship with Concubine Yun and the sixth prince gradually became closer.
The emperor felt the warmth of family for the first time. Such warmth was something he had never had before.
This is what he has been looking forward to and wants from beginning to end.
