After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

He stated that the Duke of Yingzhou deserved to be put to death, and that he would serve the country, eradicate Nanzhao, and avenge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After solving the hidden danger of Zhang Xian, Emperor Yong finally calmed down and thought about the matter of the crown prince.

To be honest, even though he is fake, the love and expectations I have shown over the years are not fake.

In order to thank the queen for giving birth to this legitimate son, he even took the homonym of the Fu family into consideration when naming him.

This complex character not only embodies his feelings towards the queen, but also his expectations for the prince.

He hoped that the prince would be able to recover the four areas of Yanjing and revitalize Dayong in the future.

For this reason, he also attaches great importance to the prince's education.

Now that the prince has encountered such a change, how can he not be heartbroken?

But in the face of the country and the people, this little bit of indifferent father-son love has become less important.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Yong finally got up and went to the East Palace.

He looked at this exquisite and magnificent palace, which had become extremely desolate due to the prince's loss of power, and he was not in a very good mood.

When he entered the palace, Murong Fu was lying on the bed like a corpse, his eyes lifeless and his whole body weak. He didn't even know that Emperor Yong had arrived.

Emperor Yong coughed lightly, finally bringing Murong Fu back to consciousness.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty… You have finally come to see me…” When Murong Fu saw Emperor Yong, he felt like he had been given a shot of adrenaline, and he instantly regained his energy.

"Father, I know I am guilty and I dare not expect your forgiveness, but the father-son relationship between me and you for so many years is not fake, Father..." Murong Fu rolled and crawled, staggered, hugged Emperor Yong's thighs tightly and cried.

These days, he has been neglected and ignored. All the forces that relied on him in the past have been eliminated by his father, and those who were not implicated in the extermination of their clans have also cut off contact with him.

Everyone knows that Crown Prince Murong Fu was murdered by Princess Nanzhao and is seriously ill and will soon die.

Therefore, such a crown prince with no future and hope has become a dead chess piece.

Who would want to die when they can live?

Now, the arrival of Emperor Yong is his only hope of survival.

Emperor Yong felt bad when he saw the prince kneeling in front of him and crying bitterly, but when he thought that the prince was not his own son, he suddenly felt extremely complicated.

He sighed, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, so he said in a deep voice: "I will give you two choices."

"First, you are still the Crown Prince, but as your illness worsens, you will slowly pass away. As the Crown Prince, I will hold a funeral for you!"

"Secondly, I will order someone to cure your illness and arrange for you to escape and flee far away. From now on, you are Xu Fu, not Murong Fu. I will declare the Crown Prince dead, and there will be no Murong Fu in the world anymore."

"It's up to you to choose!"

"This is the last thing I can do for you!"

Emperor Yong's gaze was as deep as a bottomless abyss, causing Murong Fu to tremble all over and not dare to look up.

Either die or live.

But how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who once was a superior person, be willing to leave his hometown and become a lowly ant who can be bullied by everyone?

Over the years, he learned nothing except how to govern a country and engage in intrigue. After escaping death, he became an ordinary person.

How should he live?

His father gave him a way to survive, but this way was extremely difficult for him.

Murong Fu closed his eyes. Well, who would want to die when they can live?

"Your son chooses the second path!" Murong Fu bowed deeply. Compared with the torture he had endured these days, the hardships of future life were nothing.

He just wants to become a normal person as soon as possible, instead of a beast whose body and mind are dominated by lust!

Emperor Yong's gaze softened slightly. "Don't worry, I will give Fu Ying to you as a concubine. Then you can leave with her, go far away, and live as an ordinary couple!"

Murong Fu's heart moved, at least he was not alone.

With Sister Ying around, I finally have a companion.

"Yes, your son thanks you very much, Father!" Murong Fu kowtowed again, but then he heard Emperor Yong say, "Regarding the poison in your body, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. I've ordered someone to rush to the front lines to pick up someone. Once that person arrives, there'll be a chance to cure the poison in you!"

Murong Fu paused. When he was being treated, he already knew that the poison he was infected with needed the blood of a close relative to cure it.

Even if the poison was destroyed in his body and turned into a particularly strong aphrodisiac, it would probably still require the blood of a close relative to remove it.

Now that the entire family of the Duke of Yingguo has been wiped out, if there is anyone in the world who is related to him by blood, it is only the son of the concubine who was sold together with Princess Zhaohua.

If he remembered correctly, that child was his nominal elder brother.

The name seems to be Shen Yan!

Murong Fu felt relieved. Fortunately, his father was still willing to give him a way out. He just had to wait for Shen Yan to come, and the poison in his body might be successfully cured.

If he just holds on for a few more days, perhaps he can use this period of time to make some arrangements for himself in advance.

After all, I will be moving far away in the future.

The emperor will certainly not give him gold, silver or treasures. If he does not make arrangements in advance, he and his sister Ying will live in poverty and hardship in the future.

At the same time, a little palace maid in pretty pink clothes was hiding in the dark, staring at everything in the palace.

Her name is Yudie, and she is one of the few palace maids left in the East Palace.

The reason she stayed was not because she loved the prince, coveted power, or wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Her only purpose in staying was for revenge.

Among those who were tortured to death by the prince was her sister, Yuwan.

She and her sister were not the palace maids assigned to the Eastern Palace later.

But she was a palace maid who originally worked as a cleaner in the East Palace.

Before the Crown Prince suddenly fell ill and his temperament changed drastically, she and her sister had always been the most inconspicuous presence in the Eastern Palace.

As long as they do their job well every day, they can live well here.

Although there are occasional quarrels and arguments.

But overall, the sisters support each other and live a decent life.

However, the East Palace suddenly changed.

For unknown reasons, His Majesty suddenly sent the imperial guards to besiege the Eastern Palace and announced to the public that the Crown Prince was seriously ill.

During this period, many palace maids and eunuchs used money and connections to escape from the Eastern Palace.

The once bustling East Palace was suddenly mostly empty.

They also thought about transferring, but they had no money. Their salaries were sent home every month to support the family, so when the East Palace incident came, they could only sit and wait for the trap!

They thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still the emperor's son after all. He was just sick, not dead. Sooner or later, the Eastern Palace would see the light of day again.
