She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"Of course I have to return to the capital, but I won't go with you." The emperor sighed lightly, his expression solemn.

"My Dragon Shadow Guards have now become the fake's personal bodyguards, so I cannot summon them to protect me for the time being.

In this case, select a few from the secret guards of Prince Rong's mansion and lend them to me. When the time comes, have them escort me back to the capital, and then stay temporarily at your mansion.

This way, if there is something important to discuss, it will be convenient and you won’t have to run back and forth.”

The emperor had already considered it.

"I obey your order. When I return to the capital, I will transfer a few secret guards who rarely appear in public to serve you, and then let Zhuyue come along." The prince was very thoughtful and let a familiar person take the lead to avoid the emperor's distrust.

It is impossible for the emperor to know all the secret guards in the palace.

"Okay, it's settled, you don't have to worry about my safety.

It will only take one day. Send people out as soon as you arrive in the capital.

Once you leave, there will only be some cleaners and stewards left at the Yuntaishan Palace, so there won't be any danger."

The two discussed for a while before the prince left.

That night, the prince asked the secret guard to quietly send some food and books to the cave for the emperor to avoid being bored hiding in the cave.

Early in the morning of the third day, the "Emperor" ordered the return to Beijing.

After another day of bumpy ride, we finally arrived in the city before dark.

Early in the morning of August 12, the "Emperor" walked into the Golden Throne Hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

The prince also stood in his usual position.

The ministers knelt and saluted, but the prince stood still and just bowed.

"Prince Rong, what do you mean?" The "Emperor" asked coldly, he was deliberately putting on airs.

"Your Majesty, this is not the first day I have been doing this. Since the third generation of our ancestors, our Rong Palace has dispensed with the ritual of kneeling and bowing. When we see you, we only need to bow." The prince said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The "Emperor" just glared at the prince and said nothing.

The prince stood up straight, raised his head and looked directly at the "Emperor".

The fake emperor behaved exactly like the real emperor, even mimicking the subtle movements and tone of voice perfectly.

Prince Rong was dazed for a moment and was almost fooled by his superb acting skills.

If he hadn't known that the person in front of him was fake, he would probably have believed it for a moment.

The emperor is high and mighty, and only a few people dare to look him in the eye. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to find flaws on the emperor's face.

However, Prince Rong was one of the few who dared to look the emperor in the eye.

He carefully observed the "Emperor's" expression and found that he remained expressionless, which was the fatal weakness of the disguise technique.

The disguised person cannot make large facial expressions, and his expression remains the same, unable to change with his emotions.

If a real emperor gets angry, his face will become rosy due to blood congestion, but the disguised face is fake and has no blood to be filled with, so it naturally cannot show real emotional changes.

"Everyone, please enjoy chatting. During this offering ceremony, I have appeased the heavens and our ancestors. From now on, the world of Wei will be at peace.

However, the remnants of Canglan's spies hiding in Wei are always a hidden danger.

So, after careful consideration, I decided to take the risk and set up a plan to lure the enemy.

Fortunately, it was a complete success.

During the battle against the enemy, my beloved concubine Wanpin blocked the sword for me, and my third son risked his own life to grab me at the critical moment and prevent me from falling off the cliff.

"These two mothers, one protecting the other with her own life, the other sacrificing her own, have deeply moved me. I am promoting Concubine Wan to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort as a token of my appreciation."

However, there was silence in the court, only Prince Rong stared at the fake emperor with a gaze as sharp as a knife, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Prince Rong, do you have any objection to my reward?" Seeing that Prince Rong did not respond, the "Emperor" felt a little angry and his tone became tough.

Prince Rong smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "I have no objection, but there is one thing I do not understand. I hope Your Majesty can enlighten me."

"Oh? Tell me about it." The fake emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and became alert.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is my biological sister, but she colluded with the second old lady in the palace to murder the Crown Prince of Rong Palace.

She lost her moral integrity because of this incident, and the emperor demoted her from the position of concubine to that of imperial concubine because of this incident.

Now, just because she helped the emperor block a sword and suffered some minor injuries, she was promoted three levels. Is that too much?

It might encourage the ambitions of the mother and son, and make them think about things they shouldn't think about.

Over the years, it’s not just the mother and son who have saved the emperor. I don’t know how many times I’ve saved you.

The Dragon Shadow Guards around you have saved you countless times.

The eldest prince fell off a cliff to save you and was disabled for several years.

If everyone who saves the emperor is rewarded handsomely, will your private treasury be enough?

Moreover, when the Third Prince went to the battlefield for training before, he hid behind the soldiers and did not dare to kill the enemy. But this time, he dared to face the assassin. When did he become so brave? Didn't the emperor ever doubt it?

The prince spoke in a calm tone, but went straight to the point.

The fake emperor was startled, but quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Prince Rong, are you questioning my decision?"

"I dare not." Prince Rong still bowed, his gaze unflinching. "I am just worried that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to deliberately disrupt the government."

"Prince Rong, you can't write two Shangguans with one stroke of the pen. Wanrou is from Prince Rong's mansion after all. She's your biological sister. Don't you wish her the best?"

"She has done something that has wronged the ancestors of the Shangguan family. I have not removed her from the family tree because she is my father's biological daughter.

From now on, I will not care what happens to her in the palace, but if she dares to disrupt the government and harm the Wei Dynasty, don't blame me for not recognizing blood ties."

"You..." "The Emperor" was so angry that he had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan bravely stepped forward in times of danger and protected you, and she truly deserves a reward.

However, if she were to be promoted directly from concubine to imperial noble consort, it would be too much and might not be in accordance with etiquette.

I would like to suggest that restoring his former status would be a recognition of his achievements while also being appropriate and appropriate."

At this time, Prime Minister Zhao stepped forward in time and tried to reconcile the delicate atmosphere between the two.

The "Emperor" looked back and forth at the two of them.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is absolutely right." Prince Jing also stepped out to advise.

He had also been observing the "Emperor" and had noticed something. He was indeed slightly different from the usual Emperor.

At least he would not quarrel with Prince Rong in the court unless the two had serious disagreements.

The "Emperor" pondered for a while.

"Just as the Prime Minister said, I will promote Concubine Wan to Concubine Wan."

This fake "emperor" is just giving it a try today.

He wanted to imitate the ideas of the Qing officials and then continue to plan step by step.

Fake is fake. It is impossible to understand the entire court very clearly, and you must also be careful not to let people see that he is fake.

He cannot behave too differently from the real emperor all of a sudden, otherwise he will be exposed in advance, which will be detrimental to his great cause.

There is still a lot of time, the emperor is already dead, so we just need to take it step by step.

He can enjoy this feeling of being above everyone else for a few more days.

After the court was dismissed, the "Emperor" did not go to the imperial study first, but came to Wanpin's residence.

Talk to her about what happened in the morning court today.

Many of the emperor's habits and ways of dealing with things were taught by Concubine Wan.

This person is Mr. Cang.

He himself also lurked in the palace and observed for a period of time.

"Mr. Cang, how is it?" As soon as she saw the "Emperor", Concubine Wan couldn't wait to ask about the situation.
