C84 Crown Prince

Only, they did not believe that Xuanyuan Mingcheng could so easily expose his own problems, but, Xuanyuan Mingcheng's actions was also done to lure the snake out of its hole, and more importantly, to investigate which of his princes were more qualified to be Crown Prince.

Xuanyuan Mingcheng could not deny Xuanyuan Chen's words, and did not directly confirm him. He only raised his eyebrows and gave a profound smile, "There is no need to mention this matter again. It is late in the night today, so Chen Er should be sending Little Xie back home. "

Xuanyuan Mingcheng had long seen the two hands under Xuanyuan Chen's wide sleeves that were tightly entangled together. He wanted to remind them to pay attention, but he suddenly remembered that he held Linglong's hands tightly, unable to utter a single word of warning.

Xuanyuan Chen bid farewell to Xuanyuan Mingcheng with a faint smile: "royal father should rest early, this son and A Rong will be taking his leave."

Xie Qingrong also took her leave indifferently: "Your Majesty should rest early, this humble woman will take her leave."

After the two of them left, Xuanyuan Mingcheng shook his head and walked back to the Linglong Hall.

Inside Linglong Hall, only one lamp was lit, the candle was burning brightly, the figure of the beautiful woman was reflected in the window, Xuanyuan Mingcheng pursed his lips, and slowly walked into the hall.

On Zhangsun Linglong's knees was an exquisite little flower basket with a few colorful golden threads placed inside. In her hands was a kernels and a needle, sewing on the flowers one at a time. It was unknown what she was sewing on.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mingcheng walking towards her, she only raised his head slightly and smiled gently towards Xuanyuan Mingcheng. The Queen who always maintained her dignified and elegant demeanor had now become a little girl who washed her hands to make broth.

"Changge fell asleep?" Xuanyuan Mingcheng's eyes shone with a gentle light, his tone was soft, as though he was afraid of disturbing something.

Zhangsun Linglong smiled gently, "That's right, it's been a long time since I've seen Chang Ge so happy. I am a little tired today and went to bed very early. "

Xuanyuan Mingcheng walked behind Zhangsun Linglong, smiling without saying a word. Zhangsun Linglong only used a simple hairpin to hold onto her long jet-black hair. Xuanyuan Mingcheng took the hairpin out of his bun, and her smooth black hair instantly fell down like a waterfall.

Xuanyuan Mingcheng fondled it lovingly, he had also loved this piece of black hair a lot.

Zhangsun Linglong's black hair fell down unexpectedly, but she did not make any excessive movements, and only rebuked: "Why did you disperse my hair again?"

Xuanyuan Mingcheng and Zhangsun Linglong, the young couple, had always been very fond of each other, and Zhangsun Linglong had also always been a Holy Pet.

The corner of Xuanyuan Mingcheng's mouth hooked up into a faint smile, and the corner of his eyes curled up into a gentle expression. With his head lowered, he slowly approached behind Zhangsun Linglong's ear.

"Zitong, I came here today because I have something to tell you."

The warm breath sprayed onto Zhangsun Linglong's ears, causing her pure white and delicate ears to instantly turn completely red.

Although Zhangsun Linglong's ears had turned red, she still let out a light sigh from the bottom of her heart.

This was finally going to happen.

"Zitong, I'm going to set up the Crown Prince. What do you think of Chen Er? " Although Xuanyuan Mingcheng was asking Zhangsun Linglong, there was no trace of doubt in his words.

Zhangsun Linglong's finger that was holding onto the needle trembled slightly, but she had an extremely gentle expression on her face, "Your majesty must have long been thinking of a candidate, why try to test your concubine?"

Xuanyuan Mingcheng picked up the wooden brush on the dresser, carefully combed through Zhangsun Linglong's hair, and said: "Zitong, why must there be such a difference between you and me? I felt a headache a few days ago, probably because I was getting old, and I was always feeling tired when it came to dealing with politics.

I think it's time for me to set up a crown prince to help me with the government. Chen Er is our son, and now that he has fully matured, in the future, we will definitely be able to change our minds. "

After combing his hair from head to tail, he could not help but sigh. This hair was unbelievably smooth.

Hearing that, Zhangsun Linglong's finger that was holding onto the needle stopped, and continued to stitch as if nothing had happened, but the stitches on the kernels were already messy, and could not be seen.

"What did the imperial physician say?"

Zhangsun Linglong asked and found the answer.

Xuanyuan Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile. He knew that he wouldn't be able to hide what had happened from his, and he didn't hide anything from his, so he decided to keep it a secret.

Perhaps Zitong didn't know, she had only guessed.

After so many years had passed, the person who understood him the best was Zitong.

With a bitter smile, Xuanyuan Mingcheng said: "I never thought that even though I had done all I could to hide it from you, you would still guess it. The imperial physician said that my body is fine, just that I'm too tired these days. "

The more Xuanyuan Mingcheng said this, the more panicked Zhangsun Linglong became, to the point that her finger accidentally stabbed into the needle, and fresh blood instantly flowed out.

Zhangsun Linglong trembled from the pain and quickly endured.

However, who was Xuanyuan Mingcheng, with this little bit of emotion, it was impossible to hide from him.

In the next moment, he held Zhangsun Linglong's finger which had been pierced in her palm. With a bit of heartache in her eyes, he said with heartache, "Zitong is still as restless as before." As she said that, she took Zhangsun Linglong's finger and placed it into her mouth to stop the bleeding.

Zhangsun Linglong watched Xuanyuan Mingcheng's actions in a daze as his beautiful phoenix eyes gradually condensed into a mist. A tear fell from the corner of his eye, and Xuanyuan Mingcheng painfully wiped it away.

"Tell me, is everything really alright?"

Xuanyuan Mingcheng wanted to nod his head, but after seeing Zhangsun Linglong's beautiful eyes that were filled with tears, he hesitated for a moment.

At this point, Zhangsun Linglong could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and as large pellets fell from his eyes, her heart ached so much that Xuanyuan Mingcheng didn't know what to do.

The normally lofty emperor who wielded great power over all life and death in his hands was now like a child, flustered and at a loss of what to do.

Zhangsun Linglong threw herself into Xuanyuan Mingcheng's embrace and cried. The tears gradually soaked the front of Xuanyuan Mingcheng's dragon robe.

Xuanyuan Mingcheng patted Zhangsun Linglong's back gently as if he was coaxing a child. Under Xuanyuan Mingcheng's gentle coaxing, Zhangsun Linglong's crying gradually decreased until finally, there was the sound of breathing coming from her chest.

He was too tired from crying and had fallen asleep.

Xuanyuan Mingcheng adjusted the position of Zhangsun Linglong in his arms to be the most comfortable. Even when she was asleep, he still coaxed Zhangsun Linglong softly, not even for a moment.

After Rui Er's death, Linglong had never cried again. In just one night, Linglong had bid her farewell to that innocent and lively little girl from before, and had become more like a mother.

His catechism, it was really too bitter.
