"Old Seventeen, now that I am in this state, the whole world is yours."

"Brother Emperor, you are wrong! What use is this world to me? What I desire is not supreme power, but a simple, free, peaceful and harmonious life."

"I do not wish to be bound by the power struggles of the palace, nor do I wish to constantly maneuver between various factions. I simply wish to escape the clamor and chaos... So, my royal brother, please stop insisting that I have designs on this world. All I seek is peace of mind."

"You don't want the throne that everyone in the world is striving for? It seems that I was wrong..." The emperor sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, my royal brother. The Fourth Prince is a rare talent. You can trust him with the throne. I will assist him well and make him an enlightened monarch to govern the world well."

After saying this, Prince Guo turned and left.

At this moment, the Emperor and I were the only ones left in the palace. The Emperor didn't say anything else, and even the air was eerily still, as if frozen.

"Noble Concubine Rong, you are very good... I dote on you so much and treat you well with all my heart, and this is how you repay me? Do you acknowledge your guilt for deceiving the emperor like this?"

The extremely angry emperor pushed the medicine on the table.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have done nothing to deceive you. Please consider your health and don't get angry any more."

From that time on, the Emperor's health deteriorated. Gradually, he could no longer stand. The ministers in the court began to petition the Emperor to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible.

Perhaps the emperor also knew that his health was beyond recovery, and his confidant Xia Ke had already been secretly dealt with by me.

In the end, the emperor appointed the fourth prince Hongli as the crown prince and began to supervise the country and handle state affairs, while the harem was also filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

Prince Guo went along with the mistake. Even if there was no Prince Guo in the world anymore, even if he changed his identity, he would still have some freedom and ease.

"My Lady, now that the Fourth Prince has been canonized as the Crown Prince, in this harem, in terms of status and honor, it is naturally you who are the most powerful! You are now in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and you are in control of all the power. But for some reason, I always see that you seem to be depressed and unhappy. This really makes me very confused." Bao Juan asked the question in her heart.

"Yes, now I have everything. I am no longer the unloved girl who lived in fear and anxiety every day when I first entered the palace."

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Su has sent someone to ask you to go to the Yangxin Palace."

"The Emperor wants to see me? Then let's go and see the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, I came to see you. I wonder how you are feeling today. I see that your complexion seems to be more rosy than yesterday. I think you must be feeling better."

"I am lying here now, unable to move, so that's all. I have been feeling sentimental lately, thinking about the past. I think about how Chunyuan was when she was still alive, and how Shilan was so bright and sunny in the past. After all, we can never go back..."

"Your Majesty, the past is a thing of the past. Dwelling too much on it will not only fail to change the established facts, but will only add to your worries and distress! As the saying goes, 'The past cannot be changed, but the future can still be pursued.' Your Majesty should relax!"

The Emperor ignored me and spoke slowly, "I still remember that when I first met you, you were such a quiet and reserved person. You were intelligent and willing to work hard, learning to read and write. Now you are very different from before."

"I learned all this because of your Majesty's wise teachings. I've been with you for a long time, so naturally I've learned a lot through observation and observation."

"I have one more thing I want to ask you in person."

"Your Majesty, please ask me. I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you honestly."

"Have you ever been sincere to me since you entered the palace?"

"Your Majesty, why do you ask this? Every woman in this palace is devoted to you, using all their tricks and schemes to keep you by their side in order to win your favor."

"That's them. I'm asking you. In my heart, I always have a feeling about you. It seems that I am very close to you, but also very far away. It's hard to understand."
