Half an hour later, Chang Qing came out from the inner hall with the imperial doctors, the imperial doctors saw three princes and a queen sitting outside, they hurriedly saluted and left.

Xiao Huaiyu hurriedly put down his teacup and asked, "Eunuch, is Father-in-law awake?"

"Return to Your Highness, Your Majesty is already awake, there is nothing serious." Chang Qing's expression was calm, and she stared at his face from the side. The expression on his face did not change, and he could not peek out any other information.

Discouraged after advocating, he got up and stroked his cuffs, and said, "I will go in and see Your Majesty."

Chang Qing moved a few steps, blocked the back, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty ordered that King Yong'an stay, and the rest of you can go back."

"Bold!" Chang's face turned white and green, and he immediately shouted: "I am Your Majesty's Yuan Empress, and you eunuch block me from seeing His Majesty, so I am not afraid that I will drag you down to feed the dogs!"

Chang Qing's indifferent expression didn't change, but it made Xiao Huaiyu and Xiao Huai'an, who was sitting quietly at the side, look sideways.

Chang Qing is not only the head of the palace, he is also the head of the Royal Shadow Pavilion. The shadow guards of the Great Chu Royal Family are all selected and trained by him.The importance of status can be seen.

However, after a year of advocacy, she did not see Yuan Hedi, and even if she did, Yuan Hedi never gave her a good face.

The importance of the two in front of Yuan Hedi is clear without comparison.

But now, it is commendable for the queen to dare to reprimand Chang Qing like this.

Chang Qing raised his eyelids, and took a light look at him.There was no respect, no contempt, and no killing intent in this glance, just like looking at a lifeless vase, or a flower, or a blade of grass.

It was such a faint look that made Chang's feet feel cold, and he took a step back in fear.

"Your Majesty only allows King Yong'an to enter, and the servants are only following orders. The queen forgives me."

"Hmph!" After being embarrassed by his step back, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.Xiao Huaining just glanced at the inner hall lightly, left without saying anything.

Xiao Huaiyu patted Xiao Huaian on the shoulder, pointed to the imperial dining room to the east, "Brother, younger brother, go over there and wait for you at the gate of Wanshi Palace."

Xiao Huaian nodded and followed Chang Qing into the inner hall.As soon as he entered the inner hall, Xiao Huaian smelled a bitter medicinal fragrance.

The dragon bed in front is half covered by bright yellow gauze curtains, and only a silhouette sitting and leaning can be vaguely seen.

Chang Qing said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has arrived."

"An'er, come to Emperor Father." A hoarse and old voice came from the gauze tent.

Xiao Huaian was startled, with no expression on his face, and walked to the bedside, Chang Qing pulled up the gauze curtain and hung it up, then quietly stepped back as a background board.

Yuan Hedi, who was wearing black pajamas, leaned on the big pillow, pointed to Xiao Huaian at the embroidered pier beside the bed, "An'er, sit down."

"Thank you, Father."

Xiao Huaian looked at Yuan Hedi calmly, and saw that Yuan Hedi's complexion was pale, which could not conceal his sickness and oldness. During the Chinese New Year, he still had pitch-black hair, but now it was gray when it fell down, and the weather on his temples was especially obvious.

He was startled to realize that this sudden fainting had had such a great impact on Yuan Hedi.For a moment, there were mixed feelings in my heart, with a concerned expression on my face, and I asked worriedly: "Father, what did the imperial doctor say?"

This question was Xiao Huaian's question, Yuan Hedi would not think too much about it, and if it were another person, Yuan Hedi might think it was another question about when he would die.

Emperor Yuanhe covered Xiao Huaian's with his old hand, and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, the imperial doctor said that I was overworked, and I was in a hurry, so I need to rest more."

In a hurry?Because the ministers mentioned the establishment of the reserve?Xiao Huai'an lowered his eyes, the admiration in his eyes disappeared completely, he just felt a little ironic, sure enough the throne has been sitting for a long time, any son is a threat.

"Then don't worry about it, father, you are in your prime, you should take care of your health, there are still many things that need to be taken care of by you."

"What's the prime of life, father and emperor are old, and I'm going to see your mother and concubine." Emperor Yuanhe shook his head and said with a smile.After the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he always felt that his body was not as good as before, and this feeling became even stronger during the Chinese New Year this year.

He has nothing to be reluctant to part with. His beloved has been away from him for more than 20 years, and every day without her is a torment for him.

"Father, please don't say that, mother and concubine don't want to see you so soon." Xiao Huaian's expression carried the disapproval and anger of the younger generation when he heard the elder say that his life was not long, and expressed all his admiration Show it to Yuan Hedi.

Feeling very relieved, Yuan Hedi held Xiao Huai'an's hand and patted it. Sure enough, among these sons, only An'er was the most caring.

For the rest, I hope that he will die soon.He thought of this and snorted coldly.

"An'er, father knows that his body is getting worse day by day, so he is afraid that today's situation will happen again." Emperor Yuanhe looked into Xiao Huai'an's eyes and said slowly: "So, I decided to make you the crown prince. What do you think?"

"Thank you, father, for your kindness. An'er is really ugly and useful, and he is not suitable for being a king." Xiao Huai'an looked at Emperor Yuanhe calmly with no waves in his eyes, and said words of rejection in his mouth.

"You don't want to?" Yuan Hedi looked at Xiao Huai'an in disbelief, and his voice raised a little.

"No, yes." Xiao Huaian paused every word, and his refusal was firm and clear.

"Why?" Emperor Yuanhe was puzzled. The prince, the crown prince of a country, will be over ten thousand people after that. Isn't this what every royal heir hopes for?

"Being a monarch will have too much involuntary control. I don't want to wrong myself, and I don't want to wrong my lover." Xiao Huai'an looked at Emperor Yuanhe, smiled gently, and asked: "Father, what is life?" I, shouldn't you do whatever you want?"

Yuan Hedi silently watched Xiao Huaian look more and more like Huo Wan's eyebrows and eyes under the soft light, his expression was in a trance, as if he saw Huo Wan wearing a light blue palace dress sitting beside him and smiling at him.

Yes, as an emperor, even if he holds the power of the world, he can't help himself as much as he should.He promised that he would be a couple with Huo Wan forever, he promised that Huo Wan would make him queen, he promised that Huo Wan would abolish the queen when the court was stabilized.

But in the end, Huo Wan was killed and passed away early, not only did he fail to do one thing he promised.Even so far, it has not been found out who killed Huo Wan.

He suddenly looked up at Xiao Huai'an, at his favorite son, with malice hidden in his eyes, and what he said was coaxing, he said.

"An'er, you haven't thought about it. If you are not the prince or the king, what will you use to protect your Bai Yao? Can you protect him? Can you protect everything you have now?"

Why couldn't Xiao Huai'an hear the malice hidden in Yuan Hedi's words, even threats.Threatening himself can't protect Bai Yao, threatening himself he can easily make Bai Yao disappear.

Xiao Huaian didn't take Yuan Hedi's threat to heart, what he wanted was always very clear.Die with the one you love; hold the power of life and death in your hands, no longer be threatened and bullied by others, and no longer be influenced by others.

No one can change him, not even Yuan Hedi.

If this throne would be an obstacle to his philosophy, then he would rather not have it.

The throne is not the same as rights.

"Father will let Xiao Huaining be the crown prince?" Xiao Huaian asked Yuanhe Emperor back.

"Impossible!" Emperor Yuanhe immediately lowered his face, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said, "I will never let someone with the blood of the Chang family get involved in the throne."

Emperor Yuanhe hated his family the most in his life.He ascended the throne for the first time, and was threatened by the daughter of the advocate family to marry her as queen without any foundation, so he could only let his original wife Huo Wan be his concubine.Afterwards, Zhang Xiang's line spread all over the government and the public, and he was powerless, making Zhang Xiang always arrogant.

Only after Xiao Huaian entered the imperial court and became hostile to Xiao Huaining, the advocacy of the lineage gradually weakened. It was not until the Southwest incident happened that the advocacy of the lineage was really seriously injured.

How could Emperor Yuanhe, who had been threatened by the Chang family for almost the entire imperial career, not hate the Chang family to the bone.

"As long as it's not Xiao Huaining, An'er has nothing to worry about." Xiao Huaian smiled gently, the meaning hidden in these words caught Yuan Hedi's eyes.

He seems to have grasped the little tail inside, but also seems to be covered with a layer of veil, ignorant.

"Father is just a little problem, it will be good to cultivate for a period of time, it is not enough to talk about the crown prince."

Xiao Huaian comforted Emperor Yuanhe in a gentle voice, and diverted Yuanhedi's attention by talking about other light-hearted things, trying his best to act like a good and filial son.

Xiao Huaining caught up with the queen in a few steps, waved to Caiwei, and took over Caiwei's job of supporting the queen.

"The queen mother is still angry?" Xiao Huaining asked with a smile.

The Queen's beautiful eyes were full of anger, and her voice was filled with hatred, "He only has that bitch's son Huo Wan in his heart. My son is the legitimate son, but he ignores it! Tell me, how can the Queen Mother not be angry!"

"It's been so many years, isn't my mother used to it yet? Why bother to be so idle, it hurts me so much." Xiao Huaining patted the arm of the queen, with a lazy tone.

He also didn't regard Emperor Yuanhe as his father, so there are no fathers and sons in the Tian family.

"Xiao Huaiyu was there at the time, didn't he just get driven away? He didn't like Concubine Shu's son, but the eldest son who looked like Concubine Shu."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huaining was amused by himself. Thinking about it this way, Xiao Huaian is also quite miserable.It's just because he looks like his mother that his father treats him well. It's not a matter of luck or misfortune.

The queen is not stupid, Xiao Huaining has said so, and understands the crux of the matter, a strange expression appeared on his heavily made-up face.

"I really don't know what's so good about Huo Wan. There's still such a fake in the harem. This time it's all right. The fake has produced a little bastard. It's not messy enough."

Xiao Huaining's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled into a gentle smile, "Mother, please find someone to send a letter to Concubine Rou, saying that Emperor Father intends to make Xiao Huaian the crown prince."

Zhang Hou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled like a flower, and patted Xiao Huaining's arm, "Haha, women who have children are big-hearted, especially those who are restless. There will be a good show this time."
