"Your Majesty! You should think twice! Your Highness King Jin is indeed at fault, but there is no deep hatred between father and son. Let him suffer a little and admit his mistake. After all..."

During the morning court, many ministers risked their heads to plead for Li Yunfeng. Xu Shihuan stood silently in the hall, thinking that Li Yunli was still not ruthless enough in his actions. It took him so long to drive Li Yunfeng to a dead end.

The emperor looked at the ministers who were speaking and blurted out a sneer. It seemed that the kid Yunfeng finally couldn't hold on any longer and even revealed his own trump card.

"Well done! You are so well done! I guess that in your hearts, you have already chosen your successor, and you are just waiting for me to die, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor could no longer control the tightness and discomfort in his chest and coughed heartbreakingly. The father-in-law who was waiting next to him quickly handed over a brocade handkerchief and asked the emperor to wipe his mouth.

But the sharp-eyed minister clearly saw that there was blood oozing out of the brocade handkerchief. At this time, they had to admit that there was indeed something wrong with the emperor's health, and I was afraid that there were not many days left.

After a while, the emperor's coughing stopped. The father-in-law was about to call the imperial doctor, but the emperor refused:

"I know my body well."

As he spoke, the emperor wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth clean, and continued to speak as if nothing had happened:

"Don't worry, I won't be able to close my eyes for a while. It's not up to you to worry about who the throne will be passed on to."

"But you are right about one thing. There is no deep hatred between father and son."

After saying that, the emperor relaxed and asked Li Yunfeng to go back to his Prince Jin's Mansion to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. He was not allowed to come out without the emperor's instructions.

After retiring from the court, the emperor was still sitting on the dragon throne, thinking about something unknown. He did not even notice the arrival of Queen Mother Shen.

"Your Majesty, if you don't hurry back to your palace and rest, what are you thinking about sitting here alone?"

Hearing his mother's voice, the emperor came back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said leisurely:

"When I was young, I fought to the death for this throne. When I got older, I realized that there was no suitable candidate to inherit the throne. Mother, do you think my child has been a failure in this life?"

Queen Mother Shen thought about it carefully before speaking:

"No one is perfect in this life. If you said so, I, an old woman, would have been unable to live a long time ago. I only have two children, you and Jiayi, in my life, but both of you have been unhappy."

"I sometimes wonder if I did too many wrong things in the early years, which caused you two to experience so much misfortune."

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, the Emperor seemed to be thinking more broadly. Compared with those who have lost their lives long ago, what does everything he is suffering about now count?

"Mother, let me tell you the truth, I think Yunfeng and Yunli are not suitable to sit in my position. Not only the two of them, even I am not a good emperor."

Queen Mother Shen walked over slowly, stroked the emperor's back with her hand, and then said:

"I have thought about what you are worried about now many years ago. But at the critical moment, I still hope that my children can survive."

"In this situation, you have to choose between Yunfeng and Yunli. To be honest, Yunfeng has a grudge against the royal family. If the throne is passed to him, I, an old woman, will probably not have a good life. "

The emperor nodded, obviously having something in mind with the Queen Mother, and said:

"I also thought of this before considering Yunli. To tell you the truth, Yunli suffered from lazy man's disease, but he discovered it in time. The imperial doctor told me that although he has difficulty in giving birth, he is not without any hope."

"Yun Li is not as cruel as Yun Feng. If he is allowed to inherit the throne, Yun Feng can still save his life. But when he went to court just now, many ministers came out to plead for Yun Feng."

"He was forced to expose some of his connections. If he knew that I was planning to pass the throne to Yunli, he might really rebel."

Speaking of this, the mother and son spoke at the same time as if they had a clear understanding of each other:

"I must not let him find out that I want to pass the throne to Yunli."

"You must not reveal in advance that you will pass the throne to Yunli."

The news that Li Yunfeng was released from the cell suddenly spread throughout Yong'an City. Those ministers who had just been disappointed with him all seemed to have been given a shot of blood, imagining the scene when Li Yunfeng ascended the throne.

Back at the palace, Li Yunfeng's overall condition looked much better. During his time in the cell, he had completely lost interest in women. Even after he left the cage and no longer had to worry about anyone forcing him to do anything, he still felt fear in his heart.

"Master, I know even as a child that the emperor will not be so heartless towards you. You are the Li family's only hope now. Even if the emperor listens to some people's slanders for a while, he will figure it out later."

After such an experience, Li Yunfeng did not dare to relax easily. Especially what Xu Shihuan said to him in the cell completely shattered his dream.

What the emperor wants is just a tool to continue his incense. As long as he is still alive, as long as he still has the ability to carry on the family line, that is enough. Therefore, the emperor relented today, not because of the love between father and son, but because he was afraid of forcing him to rebel.

Instead of being imprisoned in this palace and waiting for the emperor and Li Yunli to join forces to deal with him, it would be better to be ruthless and attack Li Yunli without stopping.

As long as Li Yunli died, the emperor would have no choice. At that time, no matter how big a mistake he made, the emperor would only have the chance to forgive.

Thinking of this, Li Yunfeng called his men over and lowered his voice to give some instructions. I saw his subordinate's face changing again and again, and finally turned into a smiling face:

"Master, don't worry, as long as you make up your mind, we will definitely do our part."

The emperor made many calculations, but he failed to realize that Li Yunfeng did not believe his words at all. By the time the people in the palace realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
