Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Zhou Changling: "What did you say? Concubine Rong was ordered to be sent to the temporary palace?"

Zhou Changling was very excited. Concubine Rong had been abandoned by his father, so couldn't he take advantage of the situation?

The huge joy overwhelmed his mind. He, who had always been rational, was unable to think at all at this moment. Zhou Changling wished he could fly to the palace to see her immediately.

The person who reported was a spy named Zhao Qi. He was good at hiding and was specially trained by Zhou Changling. Now seeing His Royal Highness Prince Jing so crazy, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Is this still the His Royal Highness Prince Jing he knew?

Zhao Qi: "Your Majesty, I have heard that Concubine Rong has been pregnant with the emperor for four months. The emperor must be protecting the dragon fetus in the Concubine's belly."

Zhao Qi also didn't expect that the emperor would keep it a secret for so long for Concubine Rong and not reveal a single word.

If I hadn't been smart enough to go to the Jingshifang and secretly look through the history books, I would have discovered that Concubine Rong had not served the Emperor in bed for a long time, while the Emperor had been staying in the Luanxi Pavilion every day.

Zhou Changling: "What?"

Zhou Changling's high spirits were suddenly shattered, as if his beautiful dream had been shattered. He turned his head and stared at Zhao Qi, trying to find a trace of lying on his face, but he didn't find any. Could this be true? Zhou Changling couldn't believe it.

Zhao Qi: "I found the medicine residue of Concubine Rong and asked Dr. Song to check it. It can't be fake."

Zhao Qi had been with Zhou Changling for quite some time, and could still see some obvious emotions. When he saw the prince losing his composure like this, he guessed that he had feelings for Concubine Rong in the palace.

Zhao Qi was shocked by his own thoughts. He didn't expect that Zhou Changling would actually like the daughter of the Bai family, who was also the niece of Concubine Yi. He never expected this. He thought this way now because he had not met Bai Lingxi yet. He would naturally understand when he met her, but these were all later stories.

Zhou Changling: "How is father?"

Zhou Changling suddenly asked about the emperor. He had complicated feelings towards this man. On the one hand, he was grateful for his protection and training of him over the years, but on the other hand, he hated him for not being able to protect his mother. And now because of Bai Lingxi, his feelings were even more complicated.

Emperor Zhou Jin had not attended court for several days in a row, and he was the one who reviewed all the memorials. The ministers in the court did not act rashly because of previous events, but they had some complaints about him.

This is very abnormal. Zhou Changling thought of Zhou Jin's series of actions in the past three months, eliminating the rebels, taking back the military power, and even disbanding the harem. Yes, if there was nothing wrong with his father, why would he take such a hasty and drastic action?

Zhou Changling stared at Zhao Qi closely, unwilling to miss any details. He wanted to know what exactly happened in the palace.

Zhao Qi: "I am incompetent and cannot see your face."

Zhao Qi was so sad that he wanted to cry but he had no tears. He wanted to bravely break into the Taiji Hall, but it was the most heavily guarded place in the entire palace. If he got a little closer, he would be chased. He had been chased thirty times and had never succeeded in sneaking in once.

Zhao Qi: "However, the emperor has not left Taiji Hall for a long time."

Zhou Changling frowned, it seemed that his father's condition was not very good, or even had reached a serious level.

Manager Li: "Your Majesty——"

Steward Li knew that the prince had important matters to discuss in the study, and it was inconvenient for him to go over and disturb him, but now that someone had come from the palace, he had to pass on the message.

Zhou Changling knew that Manager Li was not the kind of person who would make trouble, and that something must be going on outside. He waved his hand to signal Zhao Qi to hide, as his identity must not be known to others.

Zhou Changling opened the door only after he saw that the study had returned to normal.

When Manager Li saw the prince coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he could not deal with this old fox Li Mu.

Li Mu: "I am here to see His Majesty King Jing, but I am here to deliver the imperial decree, so it is not convenient for me to greet you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

There were quite a few people following Li Mu, and Zhou Changling felt that this trip was not very optimistic.

Does my father want to execute me?

Or does my father want to pass the throne to me?

Whether you will be rich and prosperous or die without a burial place depends entirely on the thought of your father.

Zhou Changling: "Eunuch Li, please ask the princess to come with you to receive the decree. My wife is in the backyard, so I think there is still enough time."

Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Changling's mind, but he did not show them on his face. Instead, he smiled slightly, appearing extremely humble.

Eunuch Li rejected his idea. Li Mu seemed to see the Seventh Prince's caution and comforted him, "Your Highness Prince Jing, there is no need to call the Princess out. The Emperor has only summoned you."

Eunuch Li: "The Emperor has announced that Prince Jing is my seventh son. I am very happy and miss you so much that I have not seen you for a long time. I have summoned Prince Jing to the palace to comfort me."

Eunuch Li personally helped Zhou Changling up, and as he bent over, he whispered in his ear: "Bedridden."

No one else heard it, except Zhou Changling, whose pupils shrank slightly, as if he had heard some shocking secret.

Seeing that Zhou Changling didn't react, Eunuch Li had to remind him loudly: "Your Majesty, are you still not going to accept the order? The Emperor is waiting for you to come."

Zhou Changling then woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly took the imperial edict and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Li Mu came in a hurry and he had no time to prepare. He was also stunned by the news and could not think of anything else for a while.

It was not until Zhou Changling sat on the sedan chair that he came to his senses. It seemed that his father was really dying, and he was the only heir to the throne.

However, when he thought of Bai Lingxi, he didn’t know what to do.

Zhou Changling followed Li Mu all the way to the Taiji Hall. Zhou Changling walked through the familiar palace road with mixed feelings. He was happy but also worried. His father had never hurt him, but he ended up like this. There has always been cannibalism in the palace.

Eunuch Li: “We’re here——”

Eunuch Li: "Your Highness, the Emperor is waiting for you inside."

Eunuch Li: "I will not go in. Please come in."

Li Mu stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, but his eyes were full of respect.

Zhou Changling pushed open the door, stepped in, and the door behind him slammed shut.

Zhou Changling didn't look back, but walked into the inner room.

I saw a skinny hand resting on the edge of the bed. Zhou Changling strode forward and pulled open the curtain.

What came into view was a face that looked haggard and old.

Zhou Changling: "Ah——Father!"

Zhou Changling was frightened at first, but then he suddenly realized that this was his father Emperor Zhou Jin!

All of Zhou Changling's grudges disappeared at this moment. All he had in his mind was the scene of his father doting on him and loving him when he was a child. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.

Zhou Changling: "Father, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you?"

Zhou Changling: "Who did it? Go kill him, son!"

Zhou Changling's eyes were red from the shock. He never thought that the ruler of the world would be harmed like this! He hated it!

Zhou Jin: "Wait a minute - ahem -."

Zhou Jin: "The emperor is back!"
