Spring Drunk Chang'an

In the Eastern Palace, every night, the Crown Prince would wash himself clean, apply moisturizing ointment, look fresh and handsome, and smile broadly at Liu Chang'an. Then, they would chat about everything under the sun, about love, and the atmosphere was wonderful, but...

When the full moon was high in the sky and it was time for him to go to bed, he would send all the palace maids out, hug his quilt, and sleep on the soft couch in the outer room, feeling "unjustly"!

Liu Changan is a girl, a newlywed. What can she do?

Could she speak up and call the prince in from outside?

What's it called?

"I'm scared to sleep alone, please come and accompany me~~"

Liu Changan believed that this sentence would be useful and the prince would definitely come as soon as he was called. However, as a girl, she was too shy to say it out loud, so she had some vague expectations in her heart.

The matter between Concubine Qu and Xiao Xun had to be resolved quickly. Whether to kill or release, to punish or punish, after there was a result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could ascend the throne, and then, and then...

Ahem, ahem, let’s have a grand wedding and then welcome her into the palace to be the queen.

She really didn't want to, even though they were already together, but she still had to stay alone in an empty room. His Royal Highness, he, he is also very handsome, okay?

What's going on? He is her legitimate husband now. Just holding hands and kissing on the cheek every day seems like they are having an affair. Even a few days ago, the prince started avoiding her!

What will it look like?

Liu Changan was very angry.

Xiao Chuo: ...

He was also helpless.

He also wanted to be sweet with the little girl, but as a man, a normal-developed man with a strong temper, he really had no way...

He could barely control himself if he stayed away from the girl. If he got too close, it would just...

cough cough cough.

He is also afraid that his animal nature will be aroused.

You've persisted for so long, endured so much suffering, and yet you couldn't hold back at the critical moment. Isn't that unfair?

"My father does intend to use the throne to put pressure on me, but that is what I deserve. His 'charity' is useless. As for Qu and Xiao Xun, I will take care of it myself..."

Xiao Chuo sneered, and a hint of sarcasm gradually spread across his brows. According to his original plan, he would have always stretched out his hand to Emperor Yingwu and would never let him succeed, but now...

Cough!

He felt a little bit unable to stretch himself out, and his heart was unwilling to do so, so, "Tomorrow, I will go and have a good 'chat' with my father. He must give an explanation for all the things that happened in the past."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on!" Liu Changan looked at him and nodded slightly.

-

The next day, Liu Chang'an went to Fengqi Palace to accompany Queen Song, and after Xiao Chuo left the morning court, he went to Qiankun Palace.

Yes……

Since that day, Emperor Yingwu no longer appeared in the morning court. He was "forced" to claim to be ill, and Xiao Chuo was the regent. All kinds of state affairs and memorials would only be sent to Emperor Yingwu and he would be asked to affix his seal after the crown prince had reviewed them and deemed them feasible.

As a dignified emperor, his only function left is to act as a "seal".

Xiao Chuo was already the de facto emperor, so whether Emperor Yingwu abdicated or not did not have much impact on him. Therefore, he could not accept it at all. The old emperor wanted to use this matter to control him.

He kept Xiao Xun by his side, carrying him day and night. Wasn't the thing he relied on that dragon robe?

"Father, rebellion must have a result."

"Delaying is not a good idea. Can you keep Prince Yan by your side forever? Father, how old are you?"

"The King of Yan is in his prime..."

Emperor Yingwu was already nearly sixty years old, while the Prince of Yan was only in his twenties. To be frank, even if the old emperor acted rogue, could he live forever? Three or five years later, if he passed away, even if Xiao Chuo killed and sliced ​​Xiao Xun into pieces, what could Emperor Yingwu do?

In the end, no matter what, the throne already belongs to Xiao Chuo, and Xiao Xun is destined to be dominated by him.

"Crown Prince, Chuo, Chuo'er..." Emperor Yingwu obviously understood this truth as well. His old face was covered in cold sweat and his pupils were shaking. Facing his eldest son, he didn't know what to do!

On the side, Xiao Xun, who had been huddled behind Emperor Yingwu since the Crown Prince entered the palace, pleaded with tears in his eyes, "Crown Prince, my brother Crown Prince, I really didn't know about the rebellion. It has nothing to do with me!"

"I am loyal to you and would never dare to have the slightest intention of rebelling against you."

"Brother Crown Prince, please, please spare me. I am willing to go to the vassal state. Perhaps, if you are worried, I can stay in the Prince of Yan's Mansion in the capital. I promise that I will never leave the mansion easily."

Recently, the memorials submitted by the ministers, one after another, urging the Prince of Yan to die, had truly frightened Xiao Xun. This person was truly out to kill him. Every word he said accused him of rebellion, demanding his life, his name removed from the family tree, and even his wife, children, and descendants!

Of course, he didn't care much about the last thing. As long as he was alive, he could remarry and have another child as long as he was alive. However, he couldn't lose his life, and he couldn't lose his clan identity.

He would rather accept confinement and live in Prince Yan's Mansion for the rest of his life. That way, he could still enjoy wealth and glory by relying on his royal status, but he would not be free.

"Brother, Prince, please see my brother's loyalty!!"

Xiao Xun's sad voice.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuo smiled coldly and cast a sarcastic look at Emperor Yingwu.

Emperor Yingwu covered his face, feeling embarrassed and deeply saddened.

The child he had been partial to all his life, the one he had nurtured with all his heart before the Crown Prince "forced the palace", and the one he had seriously thought about leaving the kingdom to in his dreams, the Prince of Yan. But he turned out to be so incompetent, weak, humble, and shameless.

Compared to the Crown Prince who was left to his own devices and handed over everything to Queen Song, the Prince of Yan was taught by him personally. What was the result?

Could it be that he is really not as good as Queen Song and Duke Cheng'en's Mansion?

Emperor Yingwu was utterly embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to ignore Xiao Xun, so he could only hold on to his dignity and whispered, "Prince, your brother, he, he has indeed admitted his mistakes and is willing to be punished. You, you should forgive him for the sake of being your brother and being related by blood."

"You should know that this rebellion has nothing to do with him."

Emperor Yingwu would naturally investigate the rebellion in the main hall since it happened. Although he was now in trouble and had been completely marginalized by Xiao Chuo, he had been the emperor for so many years after all, and Empress Song and Xiao Chuo had no intention of stopping him. After some effort, Emperor Yingwu finally investigated the matter thoroughly.

Xiao Xun is indeed innocent.

Emperor Yingwu believed that the Crown Prince also understood this very well, so he said, "Achuo, I am old and no longer able to shoulder the responsibility of governing the country. I just want to enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren around me."

"You still have important things to do. Father has entrusted you with the important task. Therefore, let your younger brother take care of the filial duties..."
