Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

There was a knock on the door outside the room, the sound rising and falling in a regular pattern.

When Jin Youyuan heard this, he was immediately delighted and politely asked Miss Qingxiang to leave. He Shi leaned close to Jin Youyuan's ear and reported in a very low voice what he had just seen and heard.

At this time, in the room next to this private room, there was a person who was stealthily pressing his ear against the wall, trying to hear clearly what Jin Youyuan and He Shi were saying, but he could hear nothing.

After a while, the man hurried into a room to report, but nothing could be heard.

The four princes were still sitting in the room, Jin Youjiu, Jin Yourong, Jin Youye, and Jin Yousheng.

Jin Youjiu said: "What on earth is that kid up to? What is his purpose in coming to Yichun Tower every day?"

Jin Yousheng said, "Could it be that he is really obsessed with Qingxiang?"

Jin You also said excitedly: "He dares? Can he get Qingxiang just by wanting it? I said that I'll marry Qingxiang in a few years, and he dares to snatch it from me?"

Jin Youjiu pouted and said, "Qingxiang is Nineteenth Brother's favorite. Nineteenth Brother hasn't said anything yet, why are you so anxious?"

Jin Youye looked at Jin Youjiu and said, "Old Twenty, what do you mean?"

Jin Youjiu curled his lips and continued, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Brother Nineteen wants Qingxiang, so forget it!"

Jin You also said: "I know Qingxiang is Nineteenth Brother's favorite. I just said that after a few years, when Nineteenth Brother doesn't want her anymore and gets tired of her, can't I marry her?"

Jin Youjiu sneered and said, "Oh, you are quite infatuated!"

Jin Yourong shouted, "Enough! You are wasting your words here for a woman. Have you found out why Jin Youyuan came to Yichun Tower? You are a bunch of trash. My father named his mansion Qianlong. Humph, he has become the target of everyone's attack. He ventured to come to Yichun Tower at this time. It seems that his purpose is not pure. No matter what he wants to do, this matter seems to be very important to him. It can make him desperate. This king is very curious!"

Jin Yousheng said slowly: "That He Shi is very good at Qinggong. We were thrown off by him in a few moves. We still don't know what he wants to do. It's very strange!"

Jin Youyuan walked around in the private room, was silent for a while, turned around and left the private room and Yichun Tower.

On the third day, in the palace, an old man was vomiting on the hospital bed with dark circles under his eyes. Two concubines were considerately handing him water and watching him rinse his mouth and spit it out. Another concubine was considerately wiping it. The old man was the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand, and all the concubines and servants in the room left, and the door was closed.

The emperor leaned back on the soft golden pillow and whispered, "You seem to like that prostitute very much! The memorials handed in by the court officials are almost filling up the small table beside the bed."

After paying his respects, Jin Youyuan said, "I am sorry to have caused your father to worry. It is my fault."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Actually, a woman is nothing. With your status, you can want any woman you want. But is this prostitute worth the risk of ruining your reputation?"

Jin Youyuan lowered his head and remained silent.

The emperor said helplessly: "It's okay for the princes to go to brothels, but you are different. They are all watching you now. The slightest movement will become rumors, and they are collectively targeting you. Yuan'er, your father hopes that you can..."

Having said this, the emperor started coughing continuously.

Jin Youyuan looked up and saw the emperor coughing desperately, so he hurriedly knelt over, caught the cough in the spittoon, and took care of the emperor.

Jin Youyuan said with red eyes: "I'm sorry, father, for making you worry."

The emperor waved his hands hurriedly, coughed for a long time, and then took a deep breath and said, "My health is getting worse day by day. Yuan'er, it's good that you are back! I have been dreaming about your mother these past two nights. She said she would come to pick me up. I may go to see your mother soon."

Jin Youyuan said with red eyes: "Father, don't say that."

The emperor sighed, held Jin Youyuan's hand tightly and said, "I have made you and your mother suffer so much and left you wandering the streets. My heart is broken! Yuan'er, it's your fault. I thought keeping you away was the best way to protect you, but I didn't expect that it would lead to endless suffering for you. As a father, I am sorry for you and your mother!"

The emperor burst into tears.

Jin Youyuan held the emperor's hand, his voice choked, and said, "Father, Father, I don't want you to leave."

The emperor closed his eyes, calmed down and said, "Although I have given you the military power in my hands, some of these people are from noble families. I have already written down the names of those who can be trusted and used in the court. Here they are."

After saying that, the emperor took out a piece of paper from under the pillow and stuffed it into Jin Youyuan's hand.

Jin Youyuan held the letter given by the emperor tightly.

The emperor continued, "These people have been with me through thick and thin for many years, and have sworn a blood oath to support you in ascending the throne. Regardless of whether it is true or not, these people are more trustworthy than other people in the court. You must be careful with the Eighteenth Prince and the Yan'an Prince's party that the Queen sent out."

Jin Youyuan nodded continuously and said sadly: "Don't worry, father. I am fine. I will take care of these things. Father, please take care of yourself."

The emperor nodded and said, "I know my body very well. Please leave first!"

Jin Youyuan knelt down and bowed, then left the room.

Jin Youyuan lowered his head and felt sad for a long time. He was grateful for everything his father had done for him, but he felt heartbroken when he saw his father's health was getting worse day by day.

When Jin Youyuan turned around and prepared to leave, he suddenly heard a few birds chirping.

Jin Youyuan slowly raised his eyes and glanced over. There was a palace maid holding a tray with some tea and snacks on it, slowly walking towards the side door.

Jin Youyuan looked around and saw that there was no one in the yard. Someone must have dealt with it.

Jin Youyuan quickly followed, and the palace maid passed through various corners and went to a very remote and deserted abandoned palace.

The palace looked remote and deserted, with a lot of weeds growing on the roof.

The palace maid pushed open the heavy palace door, and with a "creaky" sound, the heavy palace door was pushed open.

The interior of this palace is extremely exquisite, and the wafting fragrance from the burning stove makes one's blood boil slowly.

Inside the bright red bed curtain, a snow-white jade hand gently lifted the curtain, revealing an extremely gorgeous woman with a snow-white body, wearing only a bellyband.

All I could see was her huge breasts and a big butt, and the narrow bellyband couldn't cover her breasts that were about to burst out.

The woman was white all over, and she looked weak. Her eyes were charming and she said delicately, "Why? You didn't recognize Xiao Meng after not seeing her for half a month?"

Jin Youyuan said with a sly smile: "How could I forget my beloved Xiao Meng?"

Xiao Meng seemed to have heard the answer she wanted to hear. She covered her mouth and laughed. Her smile was extremely seductive.

Xiao Meng said, "Come here, come over here and see if Xiao Meng has gained weight or lost weight. Come here quickly!"

Jin Youyuan smiled evilly and said, "Okay."

Jin Youyuan came over, looked her up and down and said, "Meng, you are becoming more and more beautiful."

The woman smiled like a flower, but her heart was already as pawed as a cat's. She jumped up from the bed, grabbed Jin Youyuan's collar and pulled him, and Jin Youyuan fell on her in an instant.

The palace maid closed the door and stood guard outside.
