I rely on talismans to seek longevity

A few days ago, in the Imperial Palace's study, Eunuch Li was reporting, "Your Majesty, Ma Duhu is dead. It was the eldest princess who killed him with one sword."

"Oh, when did Shuang'er become so good at martial arts?" The emperor was immediately surprised. Alas, she went out to relax before, and I thought she had not come back. Unexpectedly, she solved a big problem for me again.

"Come here!" the emperor shouted, and a man in black immediately came out from the side and knelt respectfully in front of him. "Go, find out for me who made Ma Duhu become like this."

"Yes," the man in black answered, and then disappeared in a flash.

Now that the crown prince has not been appointed, several princes are eyeing the throne. The eldest prince, Qin Haoxing, is 18 years old and was born to the queen. He is gifted and outstanding in both martial arts and in dealing with people. He has unique skills and outstanding martial arts, and stands out among many princes, which makes people admire him. At the same time, he is well versed in the ways of the world, good at seeing through people's hearts, and gets along well with others, winning the respect and trust of everyone.

The second prince, Qin Haochen, is 17 years old and was born to Concubine Xiao. Although his talent is not outstanding, he is good at studying strategies and can be patient and restrained in everything. He is meticulous, good at observation and analysis, and can formulate exquisite plans under complex circumstances. His calmness and restraint make him always able to handle difficult problems with ease, which is admirable.

The third prince, Qin Haori, is 16 years old and was born to Concubine Liang. Although his style of doing things is exaggerated, he is not stupid. He is straightforward, daring, not afraid of power, and dares to challenge tradition. Although sometimes he causes controversy because of his excessive publicity, his courage and determination cannot be underestimated.

The fourth prince, Qin Haoyue, is 11 years old and was born to Concubine Chu. Although he is young, he is very talented. He is smart and has a strong understanding. He can quickly master and perform well in both knowledge and skills. His talent is not proportional to his age, which is amazing. His future is full of infinite possibilities, and people look forward to his growth and transformation.

Just thinking about it gave the emperor a headache, but fortunately he was still young, less than 40 years old, and the princes were not too old either, so he had no idea of ​​appointing a crown prince for the time being. However, important ministers often proposed the idea of ​​appointing a heir in the court, which made the emperor very troubled.

The emperor shook his head. Seeing that the emperor was tired, Eunuch Li beside him hurried over and said softly, "Your Majesty, how about we give you a massage?"

"Ok".

Eunuch Li gently placed his hands on the emperor's head, with his thumbs pointing forward, and then he rubbed the Baihui acupoint slowly. The emperor immediately felt better, and then he said, "Go out for a walk."

So Eunuch Li accompanied the emperor out of the imperial study, walking aimlessly, and suddenly looked up and saw the "Changle Palace" in front of him, which was where the eldest princess lived. The emperor thought for a while, since he was here, he might as well go in and take a look. It has been a while since I last saw Shuang'er, I wonder if he is still angry with me.

As soon as he entered the garden in front of the palace, two palace maids came up to greet him and saluted him quickly, and then one of them was about to report. The emperor shook his hand, indicating that there was no need to report.

After walking a few steps, I saw Qin Shuang sitting alone in the pavilion next to the palace. I didn't know what she was doing, but she just kept looking straight ahead.

The emperor told eunuch Li and the palace maid not to follow him, and then walked to Qin Shuang's side. In fact, Qin Shuang already knew when the emperor just entered this place, but she couldn't show it too special, so she kept pretending to think.

"Shuang'er, I haven't seen you for a few days. I feel that your icy aura has subsided a lot."

"Ah, my father is here." Qin Shuang saluted quickly. In the palace, there are many etiquettes.

"That day you said you wanted to go out and relax, and I was a little worried. In the blink of an eye, you helped me get rid of a big threat. It seems that you still care about me very much."

Qin Shuang was speechless for a moment, but could only perfunctorily say: "As a son of the royal family, I should fight for my royal family."

"Good, good, you are worthy of being the eldest princess of Daqian. You are so imposing."

"And I came here today just to tell you something, that is, father has decided not to marry any more. If father can't even protect his own children, how can he protect our homeland?"

Qin Shuang looked at his father after traveling through time seriously, and suddenly found that he was no longer as high and mighty as the emperor, but just an ordinary father. His heart softened immediately. "Father, I believe that I can protect our Qin family."

Looking at Qin Shuang's determined expression, the emperor felt that maybe she could really do it. Many years later, the emperor thought of today's decision and felt that it was the most correct decision in his life.

I was thinking of hugging my daughter, but suddenly I found that my daughter had grown up. Qin Shuang's mother and the emperor had been childhood sweethearts. After giving birth to Qin Shuang, her body gradually weakened. Seeing Qin Shuang, who was sick for many years, she was also worried, and finally died of excessive depression. Qin Haoxing and Qin Shuang are siblings, but Qin Haoxing is one year older than her. However, the emperor was very fond of their mother. Since the queen passed away, the emperor has not appointed another queen. Someone once suggested that the country cannot be without a queen for a day, and the emperor had someone dragged him out and beat him with twenty boards on the spot. From then on, no one dared to mention this matter again.

Qin Shuang originally thought that with her ability as a time traveler and being a princess, farming and economy would be no problem. Unfortunately, in this world, it was not the case at all. Everything was based on force. As long as the people were safe, there would be no phenomenon of starving to death on the streets.

Then the emperor chatted with Qin Shuang about some family traditions, and even jokingly asked her if she had someone she liked, which made Qin Shuang blush.

Fortunately, at this time, Eunuch Li came to say that General Murong, the Protector of the Nation, wanted to see him. The emperor had no choice but to return to the imperial study.

At this time, sitting on a small stool in the imperial study was an old general in his sixties, with a burly figure and white hair fluttering in the wind. He was wearing a soft armor covered with traces of time and battle marks. The surface of the armor was uneven, and some places were even polished to a shine, which were the marks left by his countless battles with the enemy.

When he saw the emperor coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at the old general, who had a worried look on his face. He quickly said, "Please take a seat."

In the Daqian Dynasty, the number of people who could be granted a throne by the emperor was no more than one hand. General Murong's family had made great contributions and sacrificed several generations of their lives for the safety of Daqian. It can be said that without the Murong family, the entire Daqian would be one arm short.
