In the capital city of Fenglan, news of death was heard from the palace for several days in a row. Before the funeral of the Queen was over, it was reported that the Queen Mother and Concubine Shen had died suddenly one after another.

That would have been one thing, but then news came out that two princes: Prince Yi and Prince De died of illness.

For a time, a depressed atmosphere enveloped the capital of Fenglan. From the imperial palace to the common people, everyone was in danger, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The court meeting was suspended again and several funerals were held at the same time.

Everyone who knew about Prince Yi's rebellion knew that after that day, the emperor rested in the palace and never showed up again. All funeral ceremonies were presided over by Prince Hao Feng Yuqi.

After the funeral was hastily concluded with great difficulty, people from Prince Hao's Mansion and Xingyue Pavilion who came to visit and give gifts almost broke down the door.

In Prince Hao's palace, Shen Xinyin greeted guests with a smile on her face every day.

The Shen family took back the body of Shen Qianqian's father, Shen Du, and buried him quietly. Then Shen Qianqian ignored Prime Minister Shen's warning and ran to Prince Hao's mansion to help.

When Shen Xinyin saw Shen Qianqian coming, she did not get angry at Shen Du because he was also involved in the murder of Feng Zihao.

Feng Yuqi's son was not close to her, so over the years, only Shen Qianqian often came to her side to keep her company and relieve her boredom.

Shen Qianqian smiled shyly at the people who came to Prince Hao's mansion to curry favor with her, saying that she would be Prince Hao's princess in the future and even be the mother of the country. The two of them looked like a harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

At the gate of Xingyue Pavilion, the guards at the gate politely refused to send people away at first. Three days later, the number of guards at the gate increased by two times, and all of them were armed with weapons, with faces as cold as ice, and looked like they didn't want anyone to come near them.

There was even a notice posted at the door: King Hao is not here, anyone who brings gifts or visits will be charged with trespassing and will be responsible for any injuries they incur.

The content of the notice was true. Feng Yuqi was indeed no longer living in Xingyue Pavilion, but was living in the Imperial Palace.

One reason is that she is in a bad mood, and her shadow can be seen everywhere in Xingyue Pavilion.

Did she just disappear from his world? He didn't believe it, nor would he allow it. He was busy every day, hoping to finish the mess at hand as soon as possible so that he could chase her.

He would definitely chase her...bring her back...her life must be his...

The second reason is that the emperor's health is getting worse and he has to accompany him.

On this day, Tianxun sent another letter.

Feng Yuqi opened it and glanced at it for a few seconds, then slammed the letter on the table with a gloomy face as usual.

Tian Xun shrank his neck and softly explained: "I thought Prime Minister Shen would be different, that's why..."

Feng Yuqi glanced at Tianxun, and Tianxun quickly knelt on one knee, about to apologize, Feng Yuqi asked: "Did Tianxun write a letter?"

Tianxun paused and shook his head vigorously, "No, it's only been ten days..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked up and met Feng Yuqi's intimidating gaze. Tianxun changed the subject instantly and said very quickly: "It's been so long, and he still hasn't written. I'll go and ask him to do it."

After saying that, he got up and ran away.

Feng Yuqi turned his head to stare at the letter on the table and pursed his lips.

Like those people, his grandfather urged him to ask the emperor to appoint him as the crown prince as soon as possible.

Now that he is the only one left and that position is within his reach, he is not so anxious anymore.

Although it was he who had previously proposed to marry Pei Qianluo and Shen Qianqian as concubines at the same time, the emperor actually wanted to use his position as crown prince to force him to continue to carry out this proposal?

......

The situation has changed, and he will not marry both of them now.

He wants the world.

The right to choose should be in your own hands!

Having made up his mind, Feng Yuqi crumpled up the letter on the table, stood up and shouted outside: "Tianxun."

Tianxun lowered his eyes and walked in quickly. Feng Yuqi asked, "Did the person you were asked to investigate find out everything?"

Tianxun was stunned for a moment, staring at Feng Yuqi with a puzzled look on his face.

Feng Yuqi was so angry that he kicked Tianxun and shouted, "Have you been hanging out with that Ah Yi all day? Have you become as stupid as her? I won't allow you to..."

When Tianxun heard what he said, his mind instantly cleared up, he loosened his hands that were rubbing his legs and said loudly: "I found out, I found out. Shen Qianqian's cousin from the same clan, named Shen An, is an uneducated playboy who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. This person..."

"Okay, let's proceed according to the plan. Call Pei Qianluo over in the evening." Feng Yuqi interrupted him.

"Why at night?" Tianxun scratched his head in confusion.

Feng Yuqi knocked him on the head, impatiently added "Don't let anyone see it", and walked towards the emperor's residence. The gatekeeper reported that the emperor went to Fushou Palace again, and Feng Yuqi raised an eyebrow and changed the route to the Empress Dowager's Fushou Palace.

He didn't understand, the emperor clearly disliked the empress dowager and the Pei family.

Why did the Pei family rebel? The emperor agreed to the empress dowager's request and did not announce the truth to the world. He spared the Pei family the crime of exterminating the entire family and preserved the dignity of the Pei family.

Is it because the Queen Mother blocked Feng Shenyi's sword for the Emperor?

It is really worth it to exchange a sword for the lives of an entire clan and the honor of generations!

What Feng Yuqi didn't know was the shock the emperor felt when the empress dowager suddenly rushed in front of him and protected him with her life.

The emperor was firmly convinced by what he had seen and heard since childhood and his personal experience that his mother had never loved him. He had always been just a pawn in the hands of the queen mother...

He has envied his elder brother since he was a child...

He had always longed for the Queen Mother's approval and love, so he tried so hard to cooperate with the Queen Mother's performance when he was a child...

It was not until he personally killed the elder brother whom he both envied and looked up to that the desire in his heart completely turned into contempt for himself and hatred for the Queen Mother.

Then with Ye Yingbai's death, his personality became completely distorted...

He despised himself, he despised everyone except An Lan, he despised the whole world.

He played everyone in the palm of his hand, and the only thing he remembered was to fulfill his promise to Ye Yingbai before he died: during his lifetime, he would do his best to restore the friendship between Fenglan and Yunsheng and bring peace to the world!

He never felt guilty, never.

However, the Queen Mother's unhesitating and resoluteness in protecting him that day,

The Queen Mother's confession to him before her death that day,

She held his hand and clarified over and over again that she was his biological mother.

She said how could there be a mother in this world who doesn't love her child...

She said that if there was a better way, she would never choose to hurt her Yier...

The emperor was finally moved, and Feng Zhiyi, who had been imprisoned in his heart for many years, seemed to gradually wake up...

Feng Yuqi approached Fushou Palace thoughtfully, and saw the emperor sitting at the top from afar, supporting his head with one hand and closing his eyes to rest. Feng Yuqi walked lightly and sat down on the right.

As soon as he sat down, the scene of Su Yunxuan almost dying here that day emerged in his mind. Feng Yuqi suddenly grabbed the handle of the chair, and his eyes slowly swept to every place where Su Yunxuan had been that day.

The familiar pain in my heart ignited again.

Ever since the Emperor told him that Su Yunxuan was dead and taken away from Fenglan by that sickly guy, whenever he passed by the places they had been, all the past scenes related to Su Yunxuan would automatically appear in his mind...

Every time this happened, he would tell himself over and over again in his heart: She is not dead, she absolutely cannot be dead, he did not allow her to die...

bang——

The handle of the chair broke off.

The emperor woke up with a start, looked up and saw Feng Yuqi with an angry face, and asked, "Why, you still don't want to?"

"The Empress Dowager is dead, and the Emperor only remembers to show the loving mother and filial son. Don't you think it's too late?" Feng Yuqi replied sarcastically.

"Mother is kind and son is filial?" The emperor stood up excitedly and murmured softly, "Mother is kind and son is filial..."

After repeating this several times, the emperor sat back down, bowed his head and lowered his eyes, saying to himself: "My mother is right. In the royal family, there has never been such a thing as a loving mother and a filial son. There is only helplessness."

After a pause, the emperor straightened his back, looked at Feng Yuqi and said, "Feng Yuqi, as long as you agree to marry Pei Qianluo and Shen Qianqian at the same time, I will immediately issue an edict to pass the throne to you."

"Why? The Pei family has already fallen, why do you still want me to marry Pei Qianluo?" Feng Yuqi asked.

"I promised my mother that Pei Qianluo must be the Queen of Fenglan, at least..."

"That's what you promised, so go and marry her yourself." Feng Yuqi snorted coldly.

"How dare you!" The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table and coughed several times.

Feng Yuqi looked at him coldly with a look of disdain.

The emperor looked at the expression on his face, slowly sat down and asked, "Apart from Su Yunxuan, do you have no feelings for anyone else?"

Feng Yuqi remained silent. The emperor looked at the determination in his eyes, and slowly raised a meaningful smile and said, "Okay! I was right. Among my descendants, you are the one who looks most like me."

After saying this, the emperor stood up and walked out, saying, "Follow me."
