Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

If he had known this would happen, he would have saved Chu Shiyu!

Regret, hidden in Chu Tianming's tightly closed eyes...

He knew that Chu Shiqi had raised private soldiers around Jin Yan! The Minister of War even came to ask whether to send troops to suppress it!

It was he who insisted on having his own way, thinking that if he allowed his sons to grow up on their own without helping each other, only in the most brutal competition could he create the most perfect successor!

It was his indulgence that caused Chu Shiyu's death...

What's funny is that in the past two years, he has been deceiving himself, telling himself that it was Chu Shiyu's frivolousness that led to his death, which shows that Chu Shiyu is not perfect...

At this point, Chu Tianming realized that he had made the wrong choice both as a father and as an emperor!

But, it's too late to regret...

The three people guarding the dragon bed all felt their master's heartache, even if their master had never expressed it. But how many people could remain indifferent to the pain of losing a child?

Now that I think about it, it was after Prince Duan died that the emperor became even more taciturn, and there were many more days when he stayed up all night...

"Tianyi, three years later, kill Xu Jin!"

Chu Tianming couldn't hold back his hateful voice...

In the past two years, he has taken over some of the power that Chu Shiyu had managed during his lifetime, and not long ago, he discovered that Xu Jin and Chu Shiyu were secretly colluding...

Chu Shiyu is dead, and Xu Jin, who used to be a servant of two masters, only has one master left. In terms of pros and cons, executing Xu Jin will only hurt himself...

But these days, I dreamt at midnight...

Chu Tianming dreamed that Xu Jin passed a message to Chu Shiyu without his knowledge, reminding Chu Shiyu that he had escaped death...

But after waking up, the cold reality is that Xu Jin did not do so!

Should he hate a servant? ! Xu Jin had clearly obeyed the emperor's will, so he should hate himself! However, he was just a servant, so what if he, as the emperor, took his anger out on him? !

The three warriors beside the bed did not think that the emperor was cruel.

If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die; if the father wants his son to die, the son must die.

If the master wanted the three of them to commit suicide, they would die bravely! What about the slaves who were supposed to sacrifice everything?

The Minister of War was a little confused: "Aren't you going to ask Xu Jin to follow His Majesty?"

"Xu Jin knows almost everything about my secret moves. Three years is enough for Kun'er to learn everything."

Even as an emperor, he should have killed Xu Jin to prevent Chu Shikun from failing to train his own right-hand men and then reusing Xu Jin, leading to eunuchs being in power in the future.

One by one, the emperor paved the way for the future...

The three of them endured the grief and concentrated on memorizing the will...

The Minister of War suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, do you think there will be a mutiny before King Kang ascends the throne?"

"Shi Huan and Shi Qi are both unwilling to be outdone. Shi Huan will not be able to achieve anything, but Shi Qi is impatient and has the strong support of the major families in Jiangnan. He will definitely not give up..."

The sudden illness made Chu Tianming unable to proceed step by step, and his strategy suddenly became radical, in order to build a dragon coffin and decide the fate of the world.

"Then why not..." Tianyi made a gesture of wiping his neck...

Even though it was a difficult decision, as a knife of his master, he didn't care about ethics and morality. He only needed a signal...

The emperor shook his head slightly and rejected it, saying, "You three don't need to intervene in the dispute between the princes. You just need to deter foreign enemies and guard against traitors who want to rebel."

Fang Kui and the Minister of War could not help but look at each other, and Fang Kui asked, "Does Daxia have to go through war?"

"The chaos won't last long..."

Rather than letting future generations deal with chronic illness, it is better to directly remove the poison by scraping the bone...

Chu Tianming opened his eyes and looked at the bright yellow curtain, muttering: "Kun'er is still short of this breath, I will make up for him..."

Day and night alternate.

The temperature in the huge bedroom was pleasant, but it was quiet and lonely.

The hurried footsteps broke the silence!

What followed was an angry shout: "Go in and report! I want to see my father!"

The eunuch who was kicked staggered for several steps and finally steadied himself after entering the door... The emperor had ordered him to rest peacefully, but the eighth prince would not listen.

The eunuch walked carefully to the dragon bed and asked quietly, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince requests an audience."

He raised his sleepy eyes, then lowered them slightly, and agreed to the request.

The young prince strode in!

The first thing he did was not to go to the dragon bed, but to check the medicine on the small table. Seeing that the bowl was full of brown medicine, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his hand and waved!

"Ah!"

The medicine and bowl were broken into pieces all over the floor!

The eunuchs around were stunned. Everyone in the palace knew that the Eighth Prince had always behaved eccentrically, but he never dared to act wildly in front of the emperor!

Not to mention why the medicine was spilled for no apparent reason, should they severely stop the Eighth Prince for such a trivial matter?

"Clean it up!" Chu Shiqi glared at the servants.

Turning around, he had a submissive look on his face. The young man approached the dragon bed, bent down and knelt beneath it.

"Father, I am here to visit you."

The young man looked at his father with concern, and saw that his father looked a little better than the day before, and he was sincerely happy...

"Qier, why are you making such a fuss?"

Looking at his eighth son who was about to grow up, with wrinkles all over his eyes, he felt mixed emotions... Chu Tianming was good at reading people's minds, but at this moment, he couldn't understand his own state of mind...

Simply looking at it from the perspective of an emperor, Chu Shiqi is arrogant and overbearing, and his emotions are exposed, which undoubtedly makes him unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility...

"That medicine...may have some weird stuff in it, I'm worried..."

As the young man spoke, he seemed to feel that it was not good to cover up, so he simply told part of the truth: "I heard that someone in the Imperial Hospital accepted bribes and wanted to poison your father with medicine, so I came here to remind you to be more careful!"

The look in the boy's eyes is even more complicated...

How could Chu Tianming not know? Now the general trend is clear, Chu Shikun will definitely be the successor regardless of his achievements or his status as the eldest son...

The prime minister's faction that supports Chu Shiqi can only take risks before the truth comes out.

The best way was to seize the opportunity while Chu Shikun was still ill and poison him to death before he returned to Beijing, and directly push Chu Shiqi to the throne.

Now, Chu Shiqi, for his own selfish reasons, has personally ruined his own conspiracy. From the emperor's perspective, Chu Shiqi is undoubtedly a loser...

"Do you know the mastermind?" Chu Tianming asked softly, reaching out his hand to the boy's face full of discomfort.

Chu Shiqi took his hand without hesitation, lowered his head and put his young face on his hand...

The soft or weak part of his heart surged up again. Chu Tianming knew that these were all wrong, but he couldn't help himself for the moment... It was some guilt towards the young boy.

As soon as they were born, they became targets of hatred. Huan, Jin, and Xuan might be able to survive after Chu Shikun succeeded them...

But Chu Shiqi had no choice but to fight to the death.

Chu Tianming knew clearly that Chu Shiqi's chances of winning were very slim... because, as the emperor, he did not want Chu Shiqi to win.

Caressing the young boy's tender face, Chu Tianming's tone became gentle: "Everyone will die eventually, and I am no exception..."

The young man frowned immediately and said reluctantly: "Father, it's just a minor illness from overwork. If you take good care of yourself, I will definitely be able to look up to you for another century or two!"

Twelve years in a century, do you expect him to live to be sixty or seventy?

The boy's eyes were sincere, and Chu Tianming saw it... He didn't know how to react for a moment.

A son who hopes his father will live longer should be happy, right? But a prince who hopes his father will live longer can be said to have no ambition and is not eager enough for power...
