Xu Yixing didn't expect that Lu Anyuan would directly ask Madam Jing to come forward. After all, the autumn hunt was a state affair, and no matter how prestigious Madam Jing was, she couldn't interfere in politics.

"That?"

"You also know that the emperor did not bring the ladies of the palace with him on this autumn hunt. I think he was afraid that they would be reluctant to let their son go back to his fiefdom, so he told them in advance so that they could prepare. It's a pity that I didn't go that day. I didn't know that His Majesty would be so ruthless to you. Alas!"

Madam Jing was genuinely afraid for Xu Yixing. How could the emperor's questioning and embarrassment be so easy to deal with?

But Xu Yixing is no longer obsessed with this. She thinks that even though the old emperor did not bring his female relatives, all the princes brought their own. Isn’t it because he is the elder that we youngsters dare not refute him, old man?

"Madam, don't worry about me. My father committed such a treasonous act, and it is not surprising that the emperor treated me like this."

Madam Jing opened her mouth in surprise: "Why aren't you afraid?"

"The emperor is so powerful that I am naturally afraid. But as the saying goes, thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. If the emperor really wants to depose me and find him a better princess, I can't do anything about it."

Madam Jing was even more frightened when she saw Xu Yixing saying this with a hint of smile. No wonder Yuaner came in such a hurry. It seemed that Yi Yan had become indifferent to life and death. Could it be that because of the great changes in his family, he had the intention to abandon the world?

"Yi Yan, you must not dare to have such thoughts!" Madam Jing gently patted the back of Xu Yixing's hand. Fortunately, she went to the palace, otherwise if something really happened, wouldn't Yuan'er have a rift with the emperor? "Don't worry, I have already got the emperor's approval. He said that after the new year, he will announce that Yuan'er will be the crown prince and move into the East Palace. My son, your good days are coming soon!"

Xu Yixing tilted his head. Now that he is the crown prince, doesn’t that mean the emperor wants to divorce me even more?

Madam Jing saw her problem and smiled: "His Majesty said that although your father was a traitor, you are a good person. As long as you give birth to a little grandson, you will be immediately appointed as the Crown Princess!"

Uh... Is this considered a reward? Xu Yixing leaned back. This emperor was clearly making fun of him. In his mind, he definitely couldn't have a baby after three years of infertility, so he had no choice but to use this method to give up his idea and obediently give up his position to the future Crown Princess. Humph!

Madam Jing sighed slightly, but this sigh was not of regret, but of heartache. "I have already asked Yuan'er and know why you were childless in the past few years. Now as long as you work harder, once the little grandson is born, the emperor's promise will definitely count. Don't worry!"

"So he told you so," Xu Yixing thought. If she didn't know the truth, Madam Jing would be very anxious. "Oh! So you deliberately led the emperor in this direction in front of the emperor, just to make him make this promise?"

Madam Jing smiled with relief. Since she was entrusted with the task, she had to do it in the right way. If she simply relied on her own face to refute the emperor, she would not be Madam Jing who could sit in the capital for more than 20 years without making enemies.

"Thank you so much." Xu Yixing thanked him sincerely. Although the emperor might not be sincere, if he really looked down on her, then even if she got pregnant or gave birth, he would have a thousand ways to deny the promise. But how could he not be moved by Madam Jing's efforts to take care of him?

"I'm old, and I just hope that you're all well. To be honest, I didn't expect Yuaner to be so capable and really make it this far. Since I can't help in other areas, I can still say a word in front of the emperor." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and I don't know if he was thinking about the past.

"Madam, An Yuan and I will work hard. Thank you for coming to the palace. I have no way to repay you. But I didn't know that the emperor valued you so much that he changed his mind..."

"Haha, what do you mean by that? I'm just an old man!" Madam Jing wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "You should know that the sympathy and guilt of an emperor are enough to keep people like you and me on the right foot."

Xu Yixing's eyes widened. He never expected that Madam Jing would speak so bluntly. Madam Jing was indeed a powerful person. If she had really entered the palace, she would have become one of the emperor's many inconspicuous concubines by now. How could she compare to her current transcendent status?

"So Yi Yan, never give up easily everything you have now, even if it is not satisfactory now, even if you feel that it may be lost at any time."

Mrs. Jing's words were of course shocking, but she didn't know that Xu Yixing had never thought about giving up his life from the beginning to the end. Even if he gave up, there would be someone else who should die. Why should I die?

So Xu Yixing smiled brilliantly, and Madam Jing was a little dazed by her beauty. "Thank you for your advice, Madam. I will definitely work hard to live the life I like!" By the way, it has to be the life I like. I don't care about the good life in the eyes of others.

"Okay, now that you say that, I feel relieved. I have to go back. Yuan'er is still in my house. He is afraid that His Majesty will not agree, so he must wait for my news at home, silly child!" Mrs. Jing left with relief, very satisfied with the result of her persuasion.

As soon as she left, Xu Yixing immediately dug out Ying Si who was hiding in the quilt. It has been such a long time, don’t let him suffocate to death!

"Ouch!" Ying Si finally came out to breathe. Originally, the master summoned him, but before he could say anything, he said that Madam Jing was here. He was so scared that he quickly hid in the bed curtains. Thank God, he looked young. If he were an adult man, this would be terrible!

"Are you alive? Are you okay?"

"I can still breathe." Ying Si was not happy at all, but seeing the expression on her master's face, she felt like a hungry ghost staring at a fat goose. . . "Well, I sell my art but not my body!"

"Humph, what skills do you have? How come I don't know them?" Xu Yixing sat down on the messy bed without any hesitation: "You also heard it, as long as I give birth to a son, I can become the Crown Princess, what do you think?"

"Me? I don't care about any secret recipe for having a child, there isn't any!" Ying Si looked again and saw that his master's eyes had never left him. Could it be... "I don't want to be someone's son either!"

"Hahahaha! You, even though you look young, you seem to be over ten years old. Even if I were looking for my son, I wouldn't look for you!"

Ying Si breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. As long as he didn't let her have a son or become her son, everything else would be fine. "Then I'll just do whatever the master wants."

Oh, you are so confident. You dare to promise without even hearing what I am going to do? Confidence is good. This kind of confident person is what Xu Yixing lacks now. "Ying Si, if I ask you to kill the emperor, do you dare?"
