The road of the king, the minister and the husband

After returning to the palace, Xiao Yiran has been surrounded by Yin Tianqi in his bedroom and won't let him leave. He has been separated from the child for so long, and now he just wants to guard him and watch him.

Yin Tianqi thought about what Yin Cheng said that day for a long time, and he always felt that there were still some details that he didn't know. Even though the throne was definitely his, he still felt that it was unreasonable. It was too simple and made him wary.

Four days later, the poison in Yin Tianqi's body was finally completely detoxified. He looked at Xiao Yiran's scarred wrist, and gently applied the wound medicine to him.

Xiao Yiran rolled his eyes, raised his other hand and waved to signal Little Lizi Kong Yan and others to go out, then asked softly: "Master, who is that Qu Jiang?"

"From ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty or generation the royal family has, there will be exclusive guards belonging to the emperor. Some are called dark guards, some are called shadow guards, and some are called dead soldiers. Their names are not uniform, but they do roughly the same things. Protect the emperor's safety, and control some important confidential matters." Seeing his obviously surprised expression, he smiled.

"Qu Jiang is the leader of this generation of hidden guards. He has been with my father for more than ten years. He has trained a group of dark guards and distributed them in various palaces. It is obvious that my father gave him to me. Let him It will continue to be used by the next emperor."

"...He looks so young." Xiao Yiran frowned slightly, looked up at the beam with some uncertainty, and pursed his lips, "I...is there someone on it?"

"Can you feel it?" Yin Tianqi was taken aback, there was someone hiding on the roof, he knew it was someone sent by Xue Ping, but Xiao Yiran would know?

"I just feel that there is a feeling of being watched, and there are still two people." Cursing his lips, Xiao Yiran looked at Yin Tianqi dissatisfied, took away the hand held by him, got up and went to the side of the bed, undressed and went to bed.

"I want to sleep." He let out a breath, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"Going to bed before dinner? You should be arguing about your hungry stomach later." He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, talking teasingly, but the action was to cover him with a quilt, and leaned over to kiss him Slapped his face, "Have you not eaten well these days?"

He started to get busy on the second day after he brought Xiao Yiran back. The emperor seemed to deliberately not want them to have more chances to get along with each other, so he called himself to arrange some pleats around him for him to criticize. The way of slowly letting him take over the power is a bit tangled, but I still study it carefully, but I am a little depressed not being able to bring Xiao Yiran with me.

Seeing the child's pursed lips, he sighed softly and lay down beside him, wrapping him in his arms, "Although the supplements stewed in the small kitchen are not very good, they are good for your body. Even if it’s for me, I have to eat some, and I can’t throw it away.”

"I don't want to eat it. The broth smells very good, and after one sip it makes me feel sick." Xiao Yiran shook his head, rolled over in his arms and rubbed his cheeks, "Master, is your majesty...isn't it You don’t want to see me come back?” If it wasn’t like this, why would the emperor separate him and Yin Tianqi when he returned to the palace, preventing them from seeing each other.

"It's nothing, don't think too much, Father's health is getting worse and worse these days, it depends on the situation, he wants to teach me all the government affairs early so that he can be quiet." Yin Tianqi sighed, thinking about the emperor's recent state and closed his eyes Close your eyes, no, he has to ask clearly about the things that have been bothering him.

"Well, then you should spend more time with Your Majesty..." Xiao Yiran mumbled with his eyes closed, and soon fell into a deep sleep. He has no appetite for food these days, but he is particularly lethargic. After Kong Yan saw it, he said that his body was automatically recuperating In one case, it doesn't matter.

Seeing that he was already sound asleep, Yin Tianqi slowly got up, covered him with a quilt, and left the bedroom, pointed to Xiao Qingzi who was waiting by the side, "Go in and watch, and if Ranran wakes up, give him some warm water."

"Yes." Xiaoqingzi entered the room lightly and closed the door.

Little Lizi rolled his eyes, and covered Yin Tianqi with a cloak in his hand, "Master, are you going to His Majesty's place?"

Yin Tianqi nodded and looked at the already dark sky. He should be able to catch up with dinner at Father's place now.Originally, he planned to have something to eat with Xiao Yiran, but now that the child is asleep, he just happened to go to the Zhengde Palace of his father.

Inside the Zhengde Palace, Yin Cheng was leaning on the soft couch, and there was a portrait of a figure on the small square table in front of him. The man inside stood sideways with a long body, and the look in his eyes was a little dazed by the painter.

"I'm getting old, but Tianqi looks more and more like you..." He looked at the man in the portrait in a daze, and murmured softly.

"Your Majesty, the third prince asks to see you." Eunuch Cao's voice came from outside the door, Yin Cheng raised his hand in a daze and carefully rolled up the portrait aside, "Well, let him come in and pass on the meal."

As his voice fell, the door of the bedroom was pushed open from the outside to the inside, and Yin Tianqi stepped in, "I send my respects to my father."

"No, let's have dinner together." With a wave of his hands, Yin Cheng left the soft couch and sat down at a table beside him with the support of Eunuch Cao.

Yin Tianqi was also unambiguous, Xie En straightened up and sat next to him, watching the maid set the dinner and stood aside, "You all go down, the prince has something to say to the father, so I don't need you to wait on me."

Yin Cheng nodded in agreement.

"Why did you take the initiative to come to Zhengde Palace today? Don't you want to come?" With a teasing smile, Yin Cheng moved his chopsticks.

Yin Tianqi shrugged, put some cold white fungus on his plate, and changed his chopsticks to pick some melon slices to eat.

"Of course I'm asleep, so my son-in-law dared to come here to disturb my father. There is one more thing I want to explain to my father." It's really uneasy not to ask him this question, even if the throne is his, he can't sit still.

"Well, you can ask." After eating the white fungus he picked up, Yin Cheng nodded. His attitude towards Yin Tianqi is really a 180-degree turn. It used to be free-range, but now it is captive.

"I don't understand why my father chose my son." If the throne was won by him, Yin Tianqi would feel very proud.But this feeling of being handed out made him feel suffocated, and he didn't like it.

"Choice? This is supposed to belong to you." Yin Cheng raised his eyebrows, and his words were full of meaning.

But Yin Tianqi didn't accept it silently this time, he must ask clearly.

"Father!"

"Hehe, that's all, according to your temperament, you will check it yourself if you don't tell you, and you may have something wrong." Yin Cheng thought it was fun to be angry with him, and it was the first time he saw him bring a Question yourself with the child's temper.

"I have been on the throne for 14 years, and you are 14 years old this year. In fact, you should be 15 years old..." Seeing Yin Tianqi frowning, he shook his head and sighed softly, "Originally this throne should belong to my elder brother, That is your real father."

Yin Tianqi's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Yin Cheng in disbelief.

What does it mean that he should be 15 years old?What is a biological father?

"Father?...Father, what you said is true? Why? Tell me why!" He knew that it was impossible for Yin Cheng to lie to himself, but he couldn't accept it.

"The grievances of the previous generation cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Concubine Hua is an old man who came out of the palace with me. She is infertile, so I handed you over to her to raise you. Although I haven't kissed you too much these years, I am right. You are not bad either, your biological parents had already died back then, and your grandpa bestowed them on you."

Speaking of this, Yin Cheng frowned slightly, shook his head with a wry smile, and changed his words: "It's because of me that you were bestowed with death by your grandpa."

He couldn't explain to Yin Tianqi exactly what happened that year, it was a royal scandal, not only the eldest brother died that night, but also the second brother.Even the third brother pretended to die to become a monk and not care about world affairs. Only he, who won the throne, lost the most beloved person.

"Tianqi, my father is old, I am very relieved to entrust this country to you." He raised his hand and patted Yin Tianqi's shoulder. It had been a long time since he had touched this son, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control the resentment in his heart.

"My son... my son doesn't understand." Shaking his head, Yin Tianqi lowered his head and didn't look at his expression. He really wanted to know what happened back then, but he knew very well that the emperor would not tell him.

"You don't need to understand, Tianqi, you remember, no matter what, the country of Great Yin must not be defeated by you, you must expand its territory to the largest extent, and unify the territory of the other three countries, I know you can. Seeing the shock in Yin Tianqi's eyes, he smiled lightly, "If Brother Da Huang knows about it, he will be very happy too."

"Father, I just want to ask you one question," Yin Tianqi pursed his lips and stared straight into his eyes when he nodded his head to indicate that he would open his mouth. If he can't ask, even if he has realized his feelings for Xiao Yiran, he can't ask Luan Lun in front of his elders.

"Yes, I am with the eldest brother, so he is dead and I am alive." Yin Cheng's voice was low and hoarse. He couldn't forget the panic when his father found out, and the great emperor's brother died. For his sake, for the scandal of the royal family not to be discovered, many people died that day.

Yin Tianqi's body trembled, clenched his fists tightly and clenched his teeth, no wonder his father would accept the relationship between him and Xiao Yiran so straightforwardly, no wonder his father would say those inexplicable and profound words, so that's the case, he understands But he couldn't blame anyone.

Standing up and kneeling at Yin Cheng's feet, he lowered his head, opened his mouth, took a deep breath and said softly, "Father, my son will definitely live up to your and... , will be unified."

"Okay, okay, okay, you are much tougher than him, and you are also scheming and tricky, I am very relieved." With a satisfied smile, Yin Cheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, pulled him up, raised his arms into his arms hugged.

Yin Tianqi was taken aback, for the first time in more than ten years, he felt the warmth from his father.

"If there is an afterlife, I will never let you go to that cold underground alone. I regret it." The emperor murmured in a choked voice next to his ear, and Yin Tianqi knew that he was venting to himself what was hidden deep in his heart. A long-standing pain.

No one else knew about the conversation between the father and son. The next morning, the emperor asked Eunuch Cao to read Yin Tianqi's succession edict in front of all his officials.

In accordance with the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: The third prince, Yin Tian, ​​Qi Wentao and martial arts, has a pure nature, respect, thrift, benevolence and filial piety.Respect the clansmen of heaven and earth above, and love the people of the world below.With the appearance of Yao and Shun, possessing the ability of sages and sages, worrying about the national economy, revitalizing the dynasty, he is worthy of being an artifact.I plan for the blessings of the common people in the world.Established as the new emperor, Zhaoji Emperor Zhou, inheriting the sky and responding to people.Celebrate with the whole world, amnesty the world, and enthroned after my death.As soon as the imperial edict came out, all the ministers were clamoring, but no one protested. They have seen the font on the pleats returned to them by the emperor these days. They knew in their hearts that they were responsible for the resettlement of the refugees in Ancheng.

If you have to raise an objection, I am afraid that only the emperor is in good health. The problem is that the emperor has already said that when he dies, it is uncertain when!

All the concubines in the harem behaved similarly when they heard this decree. Except for Concubine Hua who was secretly happy, everyone smashed the porcelain in the bedroom, even the queen was no exception.

But so what, the emperor has already made a decision, so there is no joke.

Xiao Yiran looked at the imperial decree that Yin Tianqi brought back, and his brows were frowned for a long time. He knew that Yin Tianqi's situation would be even more dangerous from now on.
