"My son has met my father!"

Xiao Luoheng was wearing a prince's python robe, which made him more calm, restrained, gentle and calm.

The emperor looked at his son who was kneeling on one knee and immediately showed a satisfied smile. If he didn't have the blood of the Chu family, he would definitely be his most proud heir.

It's a pity that he can't be happy now.

Chu Mu is his eternal nightmare. Chu Mu is the biological brother of Queen Huixian and the biological uncle of Xiao Luoheng.

When the emperor was still the prince, Chu Mu was his companion, but he was stronger than him in every aspect and did not know how to restrain his talents, which made him, the prince, feel ashamed.

The late emperor once said that when he gave birth to a son, he should be a young genius like Chu Mu. When he looked at him afterwards, he sighed helplessly. How could he not hate him? Although Chu Mu saved him in danger many times, the more capable Chu Mu was, the more capable he was. The more unbalanced he becomes.

He is the prince, why should he live under the glory of his ministers since childhood? Why should I be shrouded in the light of my courtiers since childhood?

Although he later ascended to the throne, even his son admired his uncle even more.

He never regretted killing Chu Mu and destroying the Chu family. Instead, he felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

He just regretted why he let the woman he loved know about all this, causing her to end up in disgrace.

Now that he saw Xiao Luoheng, his mood was extremely complicated. On the one hand, he was his biological son and Queen Huixian's, but on the other hand, this child had the character of the Chu family.

The older I get, the more I look like Chu Mu.

The emperor closed his eyes and suppressed his thoughts: "What are you doing here?"

"Something may have happened to Jiangnan!"

Xiao Luoheng said straight to the point.

This matter concerns the lives of millions of people, and he cannot be willful.

The emperor's heart trembled, his hands shook unconsciously, and he knocked over the incense burner on the table: "How did you get the news?"

Xiao Luoheng showed his hands and smiled: "Er Chen's people can't penetrate the Jiangnan forces, but they can still do it by placing a few people in Prince Yu's Mansion. Er Chen has not received any information from them for more than a month. .

The son-in-law suspected that someone in the court was secretly colluding with Prince Yu, so he sent secret guards to investigate privately, and found something.

Several corpses were found outside the city gate. Upon investigation, they turned out to be from Jiangnan.

Erchen sent people from the outskirts of Beijing to wait and see, and actually found a few people. After interrogating them personally, they found that these people were the murderers, in order to prevent the Jiangnan incident from spreading to the capital. "

Xiao Luoheng thought for a while and handed over the tokens he found from those people.

The emperor finally sat up straight and took the token. His face was serious and his brows were furrowed: "Is the news reliable?"

Xiao Luoheng was silent for a moment. These things were 30% true and 70% false. He really couldn't find any evidence for a while. Everything was just speculation, but he believed in Ning Wan and was willing to take a gamble.

If he loses the bet, the worst he can do is apologize in front of all the civil and military officials. Even if he is punished, he will admit it. If he wins the bet, it will cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

The emperor nodded seriously when he saw Xiao Luoheng and realized the seriousness of the matter. Jiangnan has always been the main source of food for the Jin Dynasty.

If flooding occurs in the south of the Yangtze River, it may cause shock to both the government and the public.

The emperor pinched his forehead: "Then who do you think it would be best to send to provide disaster relief?"

"I recommend myself!" Xiao Luoheng knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists with both hands.

The emperor looked stunned: "Have you thought about it?"

No matter where, as long as natural disasters such as floods or droughts occur, there is a high probability of being accompanied by plague, not to mention that Jiangnan is the territory of Prince Yu. If there is no evidence from Prince Yu, the court will not dare to lead the army into Jiangnan easily, for fear that Prince Yu will rebel.

Xiao Luoheng is not only providing disaster relief this time, but also being wary of Prince Yu.

"My son, I've thought about it!"

Xiao Luoheng's eyes were firm. As the prince, he should shoulder this responsibility. He could kill people, seek power, and even usurp the throne, but he could not ignore the lives of the people.

What's more, he will take that seat sooner or later. He will never tolerate Prince Yu holding the seventeen continents in the south of the Yangtze River. This is a great provocation to him.

Only when you hold your power firmly in your own hands will you feel at ease.

As for Prince Yu, he wants to see what role he plays in this disaster this time.

"But..." Xiao Luoheng's voice changed: "If my son comes back, I hope my father will grant him a marriage!"

The emperor frowned slightly, fearing that Xiao Luoheng would give up the job. Hearing what he said next, the emperor felt relieved, and then laughed loudly: "It seems that Heng'er has a woman he likes!"

Su Yanran was holding a bowl of bird's nest outside the Imperial Study Room and was about to push the door open when she heard Xiao Luoheng's request for a marriage. Her pupils shrank sharply and she immediately stopped in her tracks.

The conversation inside continued, and the emperor asked with some confusion: "I wonder what kind of woman can win Heng'er's favor?"

Xiao Luoheng smiled slightly: "My father must know this person, she is Ning Wan, the eldest lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion!"

The emperor frowned: "How can a harmonious woman be the future crown princess of my Great Jin Dynasty!"

"My son begs my father to grant my wish. She is the only one in my heart.

The queen mother told her son that in this life, one should stay with the one they love.

After all, the queen mother still loves her father in her heart, otherwise her last words before her death would not have been his father's name! "

Of course, there were some things he didn't say. The reason why her mother still called the emperor's name before she died was because she hated it so much. Before she died, she wished that the emperor would not die well.

Xiao Luoheng couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he thought of this. The emperor killed her brother and destroyed her mother's clan, but he still pointed at her and thought about her in his heart.

Simply wishful thinking.

The emperor's eyes suddenly filled with tears, his eyes were red, and he said with trembling hands: "The last thing your mother really shouted was my name..."

Xiao Luoheng raised his eyes and looked at him with a calm expression, but the curve of his mouth was slightly sarcastic: "Of course, my mother loves you in her heart, and she must also hope to be with you for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable..."

The emperor's mind was a little blank, and he felt unbearably sour in his heart: "I will draw up a decree for you now, and when the time comes, let Qin Tianjian calculate a good day for you."

Xiao Luoheng achieved his goal, he felt happy and sincerely thanked the emperor: "My son, thank you father for this!

However, I hope that my father can issue the decree after I return safely. If something happens to my son, why bother her with her happiness? "

The emperor thought for a while, and he didn't care whether Xiao Luoheng could return safely or not. Anyway, he had more than one son.

When Su Yanran heard outside that the emperor was still thinking of drafting a decree for brother Luo Heng and Ning Wan, she couldn't help feeling jealous, and her face was distorted for a moment.

She wanted to marry brother Luo Heng and become the crown princess so much that the emperor would know, but he still didn't care about her face at all.

Su Yanran's heart was beating furiously. When she turned around, she saw King Jing standing behind her. She was so frightened that the hairs all over her body stood on end.
