Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

Chapter 253: Protecting one's shortcomings will only encourage the other party's ambitions

The first snow melted in just one day.

After that, there was some sunshine every day.

After the court was dismissed that day, the emperor called Xiao Lusheng to the imperial study again. His cloudy eyes looked a little dull.

As if she suddenly came to her senses and realized that the prince had been waiting for a long time, she waved and invited him to sit on the kang.

Xiao Lusheng nodded slightly and asked tentatively, "How is your father doing recently?"

The emperor nodded, "I feel stronger and stronger recently, nothing serious is wrong."

"As long as your father is in good health, your son will be relieved."

"Has Envoy Chen checked Father's pulse recently?"

"Yes, I invite you every day. But you, Doctor Li has examined you and the Crown Princess for several months, but there is no good news. Don't let down the woman your mother personally chose for you."

Xiao Lusheng nodded.

Xiang Lu and Xiang Lan, the two chosen by my mother, had already been married to the old soldiers in the dark prison.

The emperor looked at the prince and said with great emotion, "You must remember that love is one thing, but inheriting the throne and having children are the most important things!"

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh. Looking back, most of his life had already gone by, and he only had a few princesses and a son like Xiao Lusheng.

Come to think of it, he really feels ashamed of his ancestors.

"Son knows." Xiao Lusheng didn't want to talk about his own affairs anymore, so he asked, "Father, what about the Pingxi Palace?"

The emperor frowned slightly. After all, they were brothers, and there had been no conflicts between them over the years.

He thought of Concubine Li's beautiful face. She was always afraid that Sheng'er would dislike her, and asked Sheng'er why he was so afraid of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion?

Sheng'er is already the crown prince.

What else can the Pingxi Palace threaten him with?

It would not be difficult to fabricate those so-called evidences.

"Some time ago, someone reported that you persecuted the former Jinzhou governor Wei Wenxian without any reason. Is it true or slander?"

The emperor's cloudy eyes suddenly became shrewd.

Xiao Lusheng frowned, not daring to hide it, "I did arrest Wei Wenxian's family at that time in order to force Wei Wenxian and his eldest son Wei Jincheng to come forward. I did not kill his 18 relatives."

"This is just your one-sided statement." The emperor said lightly.

He looked at Xiao Lusheng, as if to say that some of the so-called evidence from the Pingxi Palace might be half true and half false.

My father doesn't want to pursue it.

It only shows that my father still cares about our brotherhood.

But, does King Pingxi care about this sentiment?

He won't. I'm afraid that in the mind of Pingxi King Xiao Zhennan, he will not give up until he sits in the position of his father.

"Father..." Before Xiao Lusheng could finish, the emperor raised his hand to stop him, "Sheng'er, brothers are brothers, how can they be missing arms and legs?"

"The Prince of Pingxi is my only brother."

"In the future, if the child in Concubine Li's belly is a prince, he will also be your only brother. You must protect him well, understand?"

The baby in Concubine Li's belly.

Xiao Lusheng felt very suspicious.

Imperial Doctor Li checked Li Juanling's medical records at the Imperial Hospital. Although there was nothing wrong with her, he still felt that something was wrong.

"Your son knows." His father was still as kind to his only brother as ever.

Some evidence doesn't even need to be produced.

Because he already knew that his father's words meant to protect the Prince of Pingxi and that he would never touch him.

Before leaving, Xiao Lusheng talked about the things of the previous dynasty, "The former Emperor Zhuang Xiao of the Da Chong Dynasty loved and protected my younger brother very much."

"Who would have thought that this favor would actually fuel his ambitions and lead him to murder the king and seize the throne? Does Father think it's okay?"

"you……"

Xiao Lusheng stood up quickly and said, "I know I was wrong. I know that my father has only one brother in the world, my uncle. However, protecting his shortcomings will only encourage his ambitions."

"I have never thought that the Emperor's uncle is a man of pure desires and no ambitions."

After saying this, Xiao Lusheng bowed deeply and said, "I will take my leave."

Since his father wouldn't listen, he had no choice but to point it out again. If this didn't wake his father up, then it would be a disaster that both his father and himself were destined to experience.

The old emperor blew his beard and glared, roaring at Xiao Lusheng's back, "Why do you always feel that your uncle would covet your position as crown prince?"

Xiao Lusheng paused for a moment when he reached the entrance, then turned back to look at the emperor. "Father was born in the royal family. I don't believe that Father has no idea how fierce the competition is for the princes born in the royal family."

The old emperor was stunned.

Back then, my father had many sons, but after all the fighting and killing, how many were left?

Now, the remaining ones are all side branches of the royal family.

Of all the emperor’s sons and grandsons, aren’t he and the young men from the Pingxi Palace the only ones left?

The old emperor was very angry.

In fact, thinking back on Xiao Zhennan's every move, he was still very suspicious, but, after all, he was his own brother, and he hadn't done anything wrong, so he turned a blind eye and didn't investigate thoroughly.

The last words Sheng'er said struck him deep in his heart.

This is how I fought my way out of the siege, so I naturally know how much the princes desire this position.

Not long after Xiao Lusheng left, the old emperor yawned continuously. He felt itchy inside. He wanted to sleep, but also missed the bowl of mutton soup in Concubine Li's palace.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiu Yi came to report that Concubine Li had sent some mutton noodles.

Thinking of the noodles and the mutton soup, the emperor felt like drooling and had no time to think about the pros and cons.

"Let my beloved concubine come in."

Xiu Yi bowed and stepped back, "Yes."

After a while, a palace concubine in pink palace dress walked in, followed by a palace maid carrying mutton noodles.

The two of them saluted.

The emperor did not even have time to help Li Juanling, so he asked the palace maid to serve the meal and ate it directly on a small stool on the kang.

"My beloved concubine, your cooking skills are even better than those of the imperial chef in the imperial kitchen. You have really captured my heart."

Li Juanling smiled charmingly, "That's because the emperor favors me and loves me. Otherwise, how could I be so lucky to be liked by the emperor?"

The emperor smiled and said nothing as he was busy eating.

After using it, the whole person feels refreshed, compared to the tired look just now, it's like returning to his youth, full of energy.

He looked at the face that looked almost the same as Ah Mei's and called out like a fool, "Mei'er."

Li Juanling was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the old man was looking at her face and thinking about a dead woman again.

It’s a pity that I’m angry but dare not say anything, so I’ll just have to endure it.

She walked over with a smile on her face, gently placed her bare hands on the man's open palms, and sat on his lap with her buttocks tilted, "Your Majesty, I am here."

"I, the one I love the most is you, but unfortunately..." Unfortunately, A Mei is gone, and there is no more A Mei in the world.

"What a pity?" Juan Ling asked.

The emperor smiled and pinched her still chubby cheeks. "Nothing, but are you okay? Can the emperor be naughty?"
