Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

In the early morning, the sun gilded the earth with gold, and the prince knelt outside the emperor's bedroom under the bright sunshine.

Eunuch Xu did not dare to wake the emperor, but he had to report that the prince was kneeling in front of the palace. He looked embarrassed, but he still knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is kneeling in the courtyard to plead guilty."

The emperor opened his cloudy and deep eyes, and said in a slightly tired voice, "Then let him kneel."

The prince trembled slightly when he heard his father's merciless words.

Lord Zhou analyzed with him last night that if the emperor easily exposed the fact that he released the rat, it meant that he accepted his joke and still had some affection for him in his heart.

If he continued to kneel, it would mean that his father had no intention of restoring the relationship between them as father and son.

At this time, the commander of the imperial guards rushed over, not bothering to salute, and rushed into the palace, kneeling on the ground, saying in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the second son of Minister Chen is dead."

"What's going on?" The emperor sat up instantly.

"It is said that someone tried to assassinate Minister Chen last night, but was discovered by the Second Young Master. In order to save Minister Chen, the Second Young Master stood in front of him."

The emperor's eyes were filled with sadness, but they returned to calmness in an instant. He spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, "Send the backup gift over."

The sun was pouring down, and he looked at the prince kneeling in the yard against the light, the hatred in his eyes like a huge wave.

If it weren't for the Crown Prince, Minister Chen would definitely keep the Second Young Master and send him to the throne in due time.

But he did not mention at all that if he had not disregarded the safety of the Second Young Master for the pleasure of having Minister Chen help him raise his son, the Second Young Master would not have lost his life so easily.

After all, the reason why he protected Prince Yun from death and showed special care to the Second Young Master was because of the hatred in his heart.

As he stepped into the abyss soberly, he saw no one standing in the sunlight.

After taking another look at the prince bathing in the warm sun, he slowly stood up, casually put on a dragon robe, and walked in front of the prince.

He sighed softly, his deep eyes hiding the coldness, replaced by heartache.

"Prince, why are you doing this?"

The prince's eyes brightened in an instant, and admiration was revealed in his eyes, and his eye circles gradually turned red: "Father, do you still feel sorry for me?"

The emperor leaned over and helped the prince up, looking at him deeply, "Follow me in."

The palace door was closed and the emperor sat on the edge of the bed, his face full of fatigue.

He said: "Prince, I have spoken out of turn and cannot leave you a stable kingdom.

I ascended the throne at the age of thirty. You were born that year. I was full of ambitions and wanted to see a peaceful and prosperous era.

But after ten years of hard work, I found myself like a clown.

The Queen is my first wife, and the Chen Family helped me win the throne. I never took any precautions against the Chen Family in the beginning, but I didn't expect that the Chen Family was so bold that they manipulated the imperial examinations and let questions slip for students who had some talent and were his disciples.

In this way, the court was gradually controlled by him, but I was kept in the dark, and he watched as I personally promoted his disciples because I admired them.

When I found out, even the Prime Minister was Shangshu Chen's man.

I have hesitated, but I must make Minister Chen believe that you have broken with me, only then will your situation be safe.

Prince, you have gone through many tests from me over the years. You were able to pretend to obey me while secretly protecting the people, and you were able to handle all the memorials, and you handled them very well. I am very pleased.

Maintain a good relationship with Minister Chen, but promise me that after a hundred years of my life, you will kill Minister Chen to prevent him from following in my footsteps.

Go away, don't come to see me easily, and be more careful with Minister Chen's people in the future."

The prince opened his lips, and the only thing left on his lips was: "I ask your Majesty to take care of yourself."

He kowtowed to the emperor and left reluctantly.

After returning to the East Palace, he was stunned for a long time, and didn't even have lunch. It was not until he heard that Shen Xingxi and Prince Yun had arrived that he hurriedly ordered, "Ask Mr. Shen and Mr. Yun to come to this palace."

Shen Xingxi and Prince Yun entered the bedroom. As soon as they sat down, they heard the crown prince ask, "Gentlemen, is there any way to restore the relationship between father and Minister Chen?"

[Am I deaf? ]

Shen Xingxi was really questioning her life. It was a life-and-death situation, but the prince was still thinking about repairing the relationship?

The prince saw the words on Mr. Yun's head and smiled bitterly, "Am I being naive?"

He closed his eyes and said, "But one is my respected grandfather, and the other is my father who gave birth to me. I don't want to lose either of them."

He repeated his father's words, "I have wronged you before. Everything you did was for your own safety, but how miserable must you be? To endure it all by yourself, and to have your only beloved son resent you."

Prince Yun lowered his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. It turned out that the prince had never taken his younger brother seriously.

Shen Xingxi lowered his head to hide his indescribable expression.

[This is the first time I heard that I want to harm you for your safety. ]

Prince Yun's cold eyes were tinged with a smile because of the princess's voice. He really shouldn't treat the prince as his brother.

Not to mention the future path to succession, he was afraid that he would be affected just based on his intelligence.

But the Crown Prince saw the words on Prince Yun's head and agreed, "Mr. Yun, I never thought that my father would protect me in this way. Can you help me think of an idea?"

[I have read a lot of books in my life, but I still can't find a word to describe my mood. 】

The prince said: "I know this request is a bit difficult, but I can only trust you two."

Prince Yun held his forehead with his hand, who could have thought of this!

He looked at the princess and said, "Mr. Shen, I am not very knowledgeable and you have always played by unconventional means. Can you think of a solution?"

[Push it to me?] Shen Xingxi looked at Yun Jingce dimly.

Yun Jingce gave the princess an "I can't do anything" look, his eyes hinting at expectation.

He really couldn't think of it!

When the prince saw the words "Push to Mr. Shen" on Mr. Yun's forehead and the two of them looking at each other sweetly, he gritted his teeth. What time is it now? These two people didn't forget to flirt with each other!

He put the teacup down heavily, focused their attention on him again, and then asked, "Mr. Shen, with your talent, I'm sure you must have a way."

[Ha! You're even wearing a tall hat.]

The prince suppressed his anger and silently thought that the two were a couple and he was the matchmaker, so it was normal for Mr. Yun to dislike him flattering Mr. Shen.

Faced with such an impossible situation, Shen Xingxi didn't even have to think about it to come up with a trick.

Facing the gazes of the two, she said slowly, "Prince, I can only think of one method, but I don't know if it is feasible."

"Mr. Shen, please speak."

"From what the Crown Prince said before, the relationship between the Emperor and Minister Chen had long been broken, but it has been maintained for so many years. It must be because of you and the Empress. So I wonder, if the relationship between the Emperor and Minister Chen can be further improved, will it change the current situation?"

Her original intention was just to create a life-saving relationship, but after saying it, she suddenly realized: [This relationship is not serious if it goes any further. 】

The prince was just about to ask Mr. Shen for specific methods when he saw the words above Mr. Yun's head.

He may not be good at other things, but he is extremely proficient in love affairs.

I understood what Mr. Shen meant instantly. After all, he couldn't think of anything else that was not serious.

He looked at Mr. Shen in surprise: "Mr. Shen, how could you think of letting my father and grandfather have that kind of relationship?"
