The emperor's heart alone

The eldest prince has been keen to visit Xu Shi in the Changping Palace recently, wishing he could simply live in the Changping Palace, but to outsiders, the fact that the eldest prince visits the Changping Palace so frequently shows that the emperor loves the eldest prince very much, and even more so. He firmly believed that after the eldest prince, he would be the crown prince.

The First Prince didn't tell anyone about the existence of Xu Yunjin and Xu Shi. After a long time, the First Prince seems to have gotten used to meeting Xu Yunjin in Changping Palace, and he is even more used to seeing Xu Yunjin in the inner hall every time he comes to Changping Palace. I saw Xu Shi sleeping until his nose was bubbling.

Xu Shi had a good impression of the eldest child who played with him, and liked to play with him, which made Xu Yunjin heave a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Xu Shi would not like the eldest prince, and something would happen in the end—— For example, if he scratched the eldest prince, he would be seen by the servants below - it can't be said that Shi Jun scratched him very much, could he?

And the movements in the harem also increased. Rather than cursing Xu Yunjin as a vixen, they were more busy trying to get back Shi Junji's heart, and finally understood the reason why Shi Junji hadn't appeared in the harem during this period of time.Although they didn't think that the emperor would give up the entire harem for Xu Yunjin - after all, this is not realistic, but it would be best for the emperor to focus on them early and give birth to the dragon son as soon as possible.

So this kind of caring, all kinds of delicacies, and all kinds of coincidences took turns. Xu Yunjin was out of sight and out of mind, but Shi Junji was suffering from headaches. Finally, he was "encountered" by two concubines one afternoon. In anger, he directly downgraded the two concubines who leaned against him, put them in confinement and fined Yueyin, and issued an imperial decree to prohibit any concubines from going to Changping Palace, and this matter was barely stopped.But unlike those concubines who were unwilling and still thinking about how to win back Shi Junji's heart, both Shi Junji and Xu Yunjin knew that the expulsion from the harem was not far away.

It is very rare for Shi Junji to complete a day's work at noon of the day. Unless there is something urgent, Shi Junji will not deal with it. Shi Junji has already asked Xu Yunjin to go to the hot spring village outside in the afternoon. Taking a hot spring bath with Xu Yunjin, Shi Junji couldn't hide his excitement, wishing to leave immediately.It's just that Xu Yunjin's work was not finished yet, so Shi Junji had to wait in the Changping Palace. After a while, Xu Yunjin came and had lunch and the two of them left.Shi Junji glanced at the direction of the inner hall, Xu Shi and the First Prince were both inside, wondering if he should take Xu Shi there in the afternoon.

Shi Jun waited anxiously, then he heard someone report: "My Majesty, the Empress Dowager has an invitation."

Shi Junji frowned, thinking that he hadn't been to the Empress Dowager's Yonghua Palace for quite a while, and thinking that Xu Yunjin would not be able to come here for a while, he went to the Yonghua Palace.

Compared with the Yonghua Palace at the beginning, the palace now looks much quieter and more lonely. People coming and going in the whole palace are silent and whispering, lest they make any loud noises to disturb the Queen Mother's rest.

Shi Junji walked through the heavy curtain and walked slowly into the Queen Mother's bedroom. The whole bedroom was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Shi Junji frowned slightly, walked to the bed, and saluted softly.

The queen mother closed her eyes and slowly opened her eyes, let the palace servants serve her and sat on the head of the bed, and waved away the other people in the room. Shi Junji did not stop him, just staring at the queen mother's face, The Empress Dowager looked "ill" a few days ago, but now the woman in front of Shi Junji is a bit older, and the pain of the past few days has tortured the most noble woman in this dynasty to the point of being out of shape.

Shi Junji didn't speak, perhaps, he had vaguely guessed the purpose of the Queen Mother calling him.

Sure enough, Shi Junji heard the Queen Mother say in the next moment: "Your Majesty, Aijia thinks that time is running out, so he cherishes the remaining time even more. It's just thinking about it in bed every day, thinking about this life. What did Aijia do wrong, and what did Aijia do right, ask yourself, is there no regret in this life?" The queen mother smiled bitterly, "In the end, I feel more and more that Aijia has not done enough. , and even implicated his own mother clan and his own son."

The Queen Mother coughed twice: "Your Majesty, the mourning family has reached such a point, is it possible that you can't exchange for some small things that are the least important to you, Your Majesty?"

Shi Junji lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "Mother, what are you talking about? I think I am not mean to the Jiang family, and I have agreed to your request to keep a trace of the Jiang family's blood. As for your own son ——He wants to get something that doesn't belong to him, why can't I stop him?"

The queen mother's eyes gradually filled with despair. She actually knew Shi Junji's answer, but she felt very unwilling to give it a try.In fact, although the third prince was her own son and was raised by her side since he was a child, he was inexplicably unfriendly to her. Presumably, it was because she ignored him at that time that she didn't stop the third prince from doing these things in time. It was a silly thing—but then again, even if I was by his side, I might not be able to redeem anything.

Shi Junji turned a blind eye to the empress dowager's slump. He would not let go of the third prince. Even the ending of the Jiang family was still under consideration. He would never tolerate any threat to him around him. He would not let it go. One more person.

If it is said that the throne is something that he has known since he was a child that it will belong to him in the future, then for him, Xu Yunjin just doesn't know when it belongs to him and when it no longer belongs to him. If you like it, you must have stronger strength to protect yourself.

Shi Junji doesn't think it's strange for a mother to protect her son. It's not that Shi Junji can't accept a woman who can give everything and even her life for her mother's family, but it's not surprising that accepting it doesn't mean that he will forgive They, he is the emperor, and has no qualifications.

Seeing that the queen mother did not speak for a long time, Shi Junji said: "Since there is nothing wrong, then I will leave."

"Wait." The queen mother stopped Shi Junji from exiting, "Recently, the harem is not stable, and all kinds of rumors have been heard even by the Ai family, whose body is half buried in the ground. Even if the Ai family looks like this, the emperor, you should always Give the Ai family an explanation?"

Shi Junji turned back and raised his brows slightly: "Of course there is an explanation." He said suddenly, "The fact is just like what your mother heard, Xu Yunjin is indeed from me. But it's different There are two things, first, Xu Yunjin is someone I love deeply, and second, I will disband the harem in a short time."

The queen mother suddenly raised her head and looked at Shi Junji: "Your Majesty, are you crazy?" The queen mother couldn't imagine that such words came from the mouth of an emperor, even from ancient times to the present, where is there such a precedent?Even if there is a matter of disbanding the harem for a woman, it is only rare, not to mention that Shi Junji is now for a man. Thinking of the royal heirs who are still extremely thin now, the queen mother is very anxious.

Shi Jun was a little displeased, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, I have made up my mind."

"...The stubborn appearance is exactly the same as your father's." The queen mother murmured, her face was a little dazed, and she sighed, "Speaking of this, your father is not as good as you. Thinking about it, the former emperor was not as good as you. The biological mother who loved you deeply was also the empress at that time? That’s the case. Although there are not many concubines in the harem, there are still some, but few have enjoyed the grace. Otherwise, why are the heirs of the former emperor so thin?” It is the prince, There were only three of them, among them Shi Junji and Shi Junsong both came from the belly of the former empress, and there was only one imperial daughter, who died young later.

Shi Junji only looked at the queen mother with a look of nostalgia on her face, and remained silent.

After a long while, the queen mother sighed again: "What can you stop the dying person? But I still have a request." Looking at Shi Junji, she continued, "If the Ai family doesn't stop the emperor from giving up that person, It doesn’t stop you from disbanding the harem, but it’s better to have more royal blood.”

Shi Junji suddenly said: "The future crown prince is the eldest prince, so what's the use of having more princes? Could it be that he is secretly plotting against him like the third prince today?"

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale.

Shi Junji said again: "Actually, there are four princes, but I have already given him the surname Xu, and Yun Jin named him Xu Shi, and Xu Shi will be the only son of the second wife of the Xu family in the future."

The queen mother was stunned, and looked at Shi Junji in disbelief, giving a prince to a minister, there has never been one since ancient times.

Shi Junji: "Xu Yunjin belongs to me, and I will not allow him to get married. Similarly, I will not betray him. Anyone who intends to separate us is an unforgivable existence. Empress, do you understand?"

The Queen Mother shivered, her face turned pale, and she tightly held the quilt under her hands. That's right, the people in the royal family went crazy, more terrifying than anyone else in this world. It must be done, even if you can't get it, you have to get it even if you destroy it. If such a crazy person falls in love with someone, it is not surprising why he would do such a thing, let alone this so-called royal family member is still the current emperor. It's not too big for him to go.

Shi Junji was very satisfied with the empress dowager's silence - this was a tacit consent, and decided that one more life of the Jiang family could be saved at that time.Be it the Jiang family or the queen mother, no one can stop what Shi Junji is going to do.Even if the Xu family wanted to oppose him and Xu Yunjin, he would never allow it. If Xu Yunjin wavered, he didn't know what he could do.

Those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish. The purpose of the royal family remains unchanged.

Shi Junji left Yonghua Palace in a good mood, and returned to Changping Palace with the corners of his lips curled up all the way, only to see that the food on the table had been overwhelmed.

Shi Junji twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked Xu Sa who was left in Changping Palace by himself: "What's going on?"

Xu Sa bent down and replied: "Back to the emperor, not long after you left, Lord Xu came to Changping Palace. When he learned that you had gone to Yonghua Palace, Lord Xu had lunch by himself. After you haven't come back, Lord Xu Impatient with waiting, I went to Wenquan Zhuangzi first, saying that I will go to Wenquan Zhuangzi to find him after you have eaten your meal."

Shi Junji: "..."

Xu Sa asked: "Your Majesty, do you need to reheat the food?"

Shi Junji went directly to the dining table and sat down: "No need." After that, he ate his meal very quickly - he didn't mind eating Xu Yunjin's leftover food, of course others would not - hope Arrive at Hot Spring Zhuangzi as quickly as possible.It is said that the best thing is to bathe together.
