Chapter 5
The emperor's last words could even be said to be begging, which made Zhao Yanxun who was standing beside him stunned.

Concubine Duan burst into tears again, she quickly got up and knelt down in front of the emperor, wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, it's the concubine who made it difficult for your majesty, the concubine is guilty!"

"The crown prince, the courtiers didn't want to fight for it, but those courtiers used it to make a big fuss!"

These words also made Zhao Yanxun dumbfounded. Concubine Duan said that she didn't want to compete for the crown prince. If she said this, she might not be laughed out of her mouth.

However, at this time, Concubine Duan hadn't finished her sentence, she just continued: "Your Majesty... the concubine's actions are only to prevent her from being separated from Xun'er!"

"Ting'er was clever, but died inexplicably. Does His Majesty want them to take away the last son of the concubine?"

As soon as this remark came out, Emperor Zhao Yongcheng's face changed slightly, but then returned to normal.

In Zhao Yanxun's heart, it was extremely wonderful, and the secret method of the concubine Duan was really clever.

This use of retreat as a means of advancement, and the introduction of the dead fourth prince Zhao Yanting, not only set off his own loneliness, but also pointed out the arrogance and domineering of some people in the foreign ministers and the harem.

It even reminded the emperor, could Zhao Yanxun's sudden serious illness be caused by some people?
Concubine Duan grasped her senses very well, she didn't name anyone by name, leaving room for imagination to the emperor himself.

It has to be said that Zhao Yongcheng was moved by Concubine Duan again at this moment, because he also thought of his aggrieved life for most of his life.

From the fact that he was restrained by powerful officials when he ascended the throne as a young man, Zhao Yongcheng's plan to abolish the establishment is also a resistance to the bureaucratic group on another level.

It's a pity that after fighting for so many years, his will is still bound by the courtiers, and the eldest son of the emperor who he hates sits on the crown prince.

However, Concubine Duan miscalculated one thing, the Zhao Yanxun at this time is no longer who he was at that time.

I saw Zhao Yanxun, who had been standing all the time, raised his robe and bowed down, kneeling in front of the emperor respectfully, this action attracted the attention of Concubine Duan and the emperor.

"My son... is willing to share the worries of the father!"

Zhao Yongcheng was surprised, but Concubine Duan, who was also kneeling on the ground, glared at Zhao Yanxun several times.

But Zhao Yanxun was unmoved, but kowtowed in the tunnel: "Father inherits the country and carries the ancestral land on his shoulders. My sons don't want father to be in trouble, and they are willing to follow the courtier's play... When you come out of Beijing, you will be king!"

Hearing these words, not only Concubine Duan was shocked, but Emperor Zhao Yongcheng was deeply moved.

In order to share his worries, Lao Jiu is willing to voluntarily give up the crown prince. He is really his good son!
To say that Zhao Yanxun has no idea about the position of crown prince is absolutely against his will, who wouldn't want to taste the feeling of being the supreme!

But after a careful evaluation today, he still feels that the possibility of himself being in the top position is too low, so he might as well take a step back and open up the sky.

In this way, it is not only in line with his idea of ​​going out to avoid the apocalypse, but also can take this opportunity to ask for more benefits from the emperor's father.

Zhao Yongcheng first helped Concubine Duan up, and then took a step forward to help Zhao Yanxun up from the ground.

"Xun'er, Father, I'm sorry!"

To be honest, Zhao Yongcheng's ability to say this to Zhao Yanxun shows how much he values ​​Zhao Yanxun's son, and the relationship between father and son is definitely not as strong as usual.

This can't help but remind Zhao Yanxun of his parents in his previous life. The two elders supported him to go to college, and they both died in a car accident before they had time to enjoy the blessings after a lifetime of hard work.

"I can't bear my father's troubles, and be an unfilial son, so I ask my father to make me happy!"

Zhao Yanxun made up the knife again, making Concubine Duan's heart even colder, so much so that she didn't say a word at the moment.

When her husband and son are in the same mind, it will be useless for her as a woman to say anything, but it will destroy her image in the emperor's heart.

The biggest problem was "solved", but except for Zhao Yanxun, the emperor and concubine Duan were not happy.

So much so that these two had been in love for many years, and they parted without saying a word for the first time.

Following Concubine Duan, Zhao Yanxun didn't know what to say, he even felt a little guilty at the moment.

The mother and son were silent all the way, Concubine Duan returned to Xianfu Palace in a sedan chair, Zhao Yanxun followed all the way on foot.

After arriving at Xianfu Palace, Concubine Duan stepped into the palace gate and ordered someone to close the palace gate without waiting for Zhao Yanxun to follow.

And Zhao Yanxun didn't leave directly, his predecessor was Concubine Duan's son after all, he had to clean up this mess.

So Zhao Yanxun simply knelt outside the palace gate, from the afternoon when the sun set to the west, until the sunset on the west mountain.

In Xianfu Palace, the maids are already preparing dinner, while Concubine Duan is sitting alone in the bedroom, staring at the ground in a daze.

The maids and eunuchs didn't dare to be troublesome, only Ling Su approached and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has been kneeling outside for more than an hour!"

Concubine Duan didn't speak, she loves and hates this young son at the same time, she doesn't want to talk to him at all.

After all, Lingsu is Concubine Duan's confidant, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has just recovered from a serious illness, and his body can't stand kneeling like this. The night wind is about to blow... If he catches a cold again, it will be troublesome!"

The previous wind and cold almost killed Zhao Yanxun, thinking of this place, the frost on Concubine Duan's face has eased a lot.

Zhao Yanxun is her only son. Although he disobeyed her this time, the flesh and blood relationship between mother and child is real.

After a while, the gate of Xianfu Palace opened slowly, and Lingsu walked out from the palace gate.

"Your Highness, get up quickly, Your Majesty invites you in!"

After kneeling on the ground for more than two hours, Zhao Yanxun's legs and feet were a little numb at the moment, and he couldn't stand up for a while.

Fortunately, Lin Quan Huo An stepped forward, helped him up from the ground, and protected him all the way into Xianfu Palace.

Kneeling today is a no-brainer for Zhao Yanxun, he can't just walk away.

Arriving outside the gate of the main hall, Zhao Yanxun waved away Lin Quan and the two, and walked into the palace alone.

Concubine Duan was in the side hall at the moment, and the dinner was already set in front of her, but her eyes were all on Zhao Yanxun, there was both mother's love and disappointment in her eyes.

"You all go out!"

Under the order of Concubine Duan, all the maids serving in the palace retreated, leaving only Zhao Yanxun's mother and son.

Seeing her son standing still, it was Concubine Duan who spoke first: "Come and sit down!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun stepped forward and sat down beside Concubine Duan.

After looking at her son for a long time, Concubine Duan had no intention of saying any reprimands that she had thought up before.

"Let's eat!"

Zhao Yanxun was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Mother Concubine... what my son said today, let you down!"

Concubine Duan showed a rare smile, and patted her son on the shoulder: "It's okay...this is fate!"

At this moment, Concubine Duan really saw clearly that even though the emperor had just started to fight against the courtiers again, the end result was the same.

Since the result is doomed, hard work is doomed to be in vain, and it might be a good thing to take a step back.

As long as she is still in the harem, as long as she can capture the emperor's heart, there may not be no chance of a comeback in the future.

"You've grown up, it's good to learn to make up your own mind!" Concubine Duan smiled even more.

"The feudal land is no better than the capital. If you need anything, you can tell the concubine... you must not suffer yourself!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun was overjoyed, it was exactly what he wanted.

To prepare for the end of the world, he needs too many things, and many of them are controlled items, so he just took advantage of this opportunity to get them.

But this matter needs to be figured out slowly, Zhao Yanxun is not in a hurry at the moment, it is undoubtedly more important to appease the mother in front of him.
