At this time, his son, Emperor Xingwen, took the initiative to propose the issue of the Crown Prince entering the court. In addition to wanting to test the attitudes of various forces in order to prepare for the Crown Prince to govern the country in the future, he probably also had the intention of disrupting the court situation and clearing out the relevant beneficiaries.

Emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times. When Emperor Xingwen pulled Wang Mingsong out to stand in front and praised him as a new noble, he also used him as a raft to test the loyalty of others.

It’s really... a great way... to kill two birds with one stone!

Gong Yulinxu sat upright, drinking from his glass, his expression still calm. Through the cover of the cup, he glanced at Wang Mingsong who was sitting opposite him.

Wang Mingsou tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart and to keep a calm expression. It seemed that he had become famous for his drinking games and poetry and had won the emperor's favor, so he was inevitably a little complacent.

But when I think of Wang Mingsong’s young only daughter, she has been pushed to the forefront because of the emperor’s praise. She will live under the glorious halo of a talented woman from now on, but I don’t know what her future will be like?

Thinking of this, another person suddenly popped up in Gong Yulinxu's mind.

The little girl's outfit today was different from usual. She had two hanging buns on her head, no makeup on her face, and wore a light lake blue brocade lotus embroidered skirt. A pair of emerald rings adorned her waist. She looked smart and lovely, especially her pair of watery, clear eyes, which twinkled...

Humph, the little girl clearly recognized him as the man who wanted to kill her outside the fence that day. She was horrified, but she pretended not to know him and disguised herself as a palace maid to mediate with him!

As expected, it would be easier to kill that little girl as soon as possible!

Then, he wouldn't have to look at her and feel annoyed or bored; nor would he have to worry about her revealing the shocking secret he saw in Xizhao Temple three years ago!

Gong Yulinxu took a few more sips of fruit wine, and only put down the cup in his hand after he felt the aftereffects of the alcohol. As he turned his head, he glanced at Emperor Xingwen, who was sitting on the high seat with a smile on his face, and his heart sank for no reason.

After that, if Gong Yulan really entered the imperial court, I'm afraid...

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was postponed for less than an hour and ended. Gong Yulinxu was not feeling well and could not hold his liquor, so he was kept overnight in the palace.

But in fact, ever since he discovered some secrets three years ago, he no longer liked to stay in the palace.

The main reason was that whenever Gong Yulinxu stayed in the palace and saw Emperor Xingwen, he would always have nightmares.

The dream included Emperor Xingwen, the previous emperor's concubine Ru, and the beautiful and obscene dream they had in Xizhao Temple.

Gong Yulinxu didn't drink much tonight. After the alcohol wore off, he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore, so he didn't sleep very soundly.

This time, Gong Yulinxu not only dreamed of his father and the late emperor's concubine making love on the bed and going to Wushan together, but he also saw the late emperor's concubine showing a charming and gorgeous smile when she faced him who was peeping at her in the side room.

Moreover, her charming smile clearly showed that she was confident of winning!

Could it be that... he is determined to obtain the supreme throne of the emperor?

A loud thunderclap sounded, and Gong Yulinxu suddenly woke up from his nightmare.

While gasping and coughing, he turned his head and silently looked at the heavy rain outside the window. The night was long, but he was no longer sleepy.

Many times, Gong Yulinxu hoped that the day at Xizhao Temple was just a disturbing nightmare, but it was so vivid and unforgettable that his memory deepened and became unforgettable. If he had been discovered by either his father or the late emperor and his concubine that day, he might have died on the spot.
