Shen Youhuang promised as he opened the report in his hands.

"This official shall preach, for the funeral of the King Yu is at hand, and the entire nation shall grieve. The Prince Yu's Mansion had become empty from then on. They were originally a garden of the imperial family, but now that they were empty and useless, they should return to the imperial family. Even though he is the prince with the highest status, he still resides in the small King Cheng Palace, which is truly disgraceful, and might even cause him to lose the dignity of a noble family. "

"However, after the battle of Southern Frontier, as well as the cost of setting up the refugees and treating the plague, I have spent a lot of silver on one. Now that the treasury is scarce, I can't move the land any further. I hope that the Emperor will be grateful to the Prince Cheng for his kindness and kindness. "

Shen Youhuang read the imperial report, and did not trip over it, rather, it was as if he had memorized it a long time ago.

While he was reciting, his eyes kept glancing at the Emperor, only to see that the Emperor's face was gradually turning livid, and his voice couldn't help but gradually grow softer.

"There's no need to recite it anymore …" The emperor roared, and started coughing in anger. He grabbed the imperial report, and threw it out. He will come back! Those buckets of rice, even though they couldn't find the King Yu, instead were all paying attention to the benefits of Prince Yu's Mansion! I … Cough cough … We definitely do not allow you to have any ideas about Prince Yu's Mansion s! "

The emperor had only spoken a few words before he violently coughed a few more times due to his weak body. He frightened the palace maids who were serving him so much that they hurriedly came to serve him tea.

Shen Youhuang did not expect the emperor to be so firm, his expression was extremely awkward for a moment, and hurriedly echoed the emperor's words: "Royal father, please do not be angry, this son also feels that the court officials have gone too far, to even think of such a suggestion … This son is already used to living in King Cheng Palace, there's no need to move here. "

The emperor waved his hand and had the palace maids place the tea bowls on the table. He stared at Shen Youhuang and spoke with a hoarse voice: "The Prince Yu's Mansion was personally designed and constructed by the Imperial Concubine Min back then.

Shen Youhuang hurriedly said: "This son will now go and discipline these officials. Since the treasury is empty and the citizens are suffering, this son will not bother about the mansion anymore."

Only then did the Emperor nod his head and impatiently said, "You may withdraw. In the future, this kind of muddled document will be rejected by the imperial court. There's no need to ask Zhen anymore."

Shen Youhuang carefully took his leave, but the moment he left the room, his meek and respectful expression immediately turned into one of malevolence.

It's also the Imperial Concubine Min. That woman was doted on while she was still alive, and after dying for so many years, she had occupied the heart of the Emperor! No wonder Shen Lingjue was so favored!

Today, he was just asking for Prince Yu's Mansion. He thought that this matter was certain, but unexpectedly, he was scolded by the Emperor until his face was covered in dirt!

It looked like, only by holding the funeral as soon as possible, making the emperor give up and recognize the reality of the situation, would Shen Youhuang have the chance to become the crown prince …

Shen Youhuang walked to the entrance of the Qian Yuan Palace with a cold face.

In front of his eyes was a resplendent and magnificent palace, it didn't need to be stronger than the King Cheng Palace or Prince Yu's Mansion?

If they didn't give him Prince Yu's Mansion, he only wanted it!

At this time, he was standing on top of the stele and he saw a group of people walking in from afar. It just so happened that the imperial concubine and Duan Huayin were riding in the carriage, heading towards the Qian Yuan Palace.

Shen Youhuang took a few steps forward and welcomed it.

When the imperial concubine saw him, although she was unwilling, she still led Duan Huayin to greet him: "Prince Cheng is here as well."

Shen Youhuang slightly nodded, and after a few false greetings, he asked about the matter of the funeral.

"Imperial Noble Concubine, how's the funeral going? royal father is currently bedridden and cannot be controlled, so Imperial Noble Concubine better not be too slow, and let Brother King Yu's spirit in heaven rest in peace! "

The imperial concubine gave a faint smile and replied, "I'm more or less done preparing. There are only some arrangements that have not been made yet."

Both she and Duan Huayin knew that King Yu and his wife were still alive, and were merely trying to stall for time so that Shen Youhuang wouldn't notice anything amiss.

Shen Youhuang's expression turned cold, and said: "This funeral still needs to be held as soon as possible, so as to not let royal father punish her, when that time comes, I'm afraid that imperial concubine's Phoenix Seal will not be able to hold it steady."

Duan Huayin hastily spoke from the side: "Your Highness Prince Cheng need not worry, Hua Yin has already become more or less familiar with the matters of the palace, I believe we will be able to complete the preparations very soon."

Seeing that she had said that, Shen Youhuang's expression became slightly more gentle, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Looking at his back, the imperial concubine's lips formed a cold smile, and said to Duan Huayin: "It looks like Prince Cheng can't wait to be the crown prince."

Duan Huayin's eyes flashed, and said with a chuckle, "The emperor is about to recover, how can His Highness the Prince Cheng not be anxious?"

The imperial concubine nodded and patted her hand in a kind manner, "Such a desperate situation. We have to be careful and be on our guard. We can't let this little one get away with it."

Duan Huayin nodded respectfully and agreed.

Entering the palace, the emperor fell into a deep sleep.

Duan Huayin stayed in the outer room while the imperial concubine stayed by the side of the bed, quietly waiting for the emperor who was sleeping.

Not long after, the emperor on the bed rolled over and coughed a few times. The imperial concubine quickly stepped forward to caress the emperor's back, helping him to calm down.

At this time, the emperor was still deep in his nightmare, but his words were clear, "Ling Jue … Where is Ling Jue … "Have him come see me …"

The imperial concubine saw that the emperor was still reminiscing about Shen Lingjue in his dreams, so she didn't know what to feel in her heart. One hand patted the emperor's back, while the other hand unconsciously touched his slightly protruding stomach.

Since both were princes, would they be able to receive King Yu's kind of favor when they give birth to their children in the future?

After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind. She bent down and whispered into the emperor's ear, "Your Majesty …" Your Majesty, please wake up. Your concubine has good news for you … "Your consort is delighted …"

"Happy …" The emperor murmured to himself and slightly opened his eyes. He saw a girl dressed in imperial concubine attire beside the bed. She suddenly grabbed her hand, startling the Imperial Consort.

On his face, however, was an extremely happy expression as he repeatedly said, "Imperial Concubine is delighted! Good, good! "I want to reward …"

When the imperial concubine saw the emperor so happy, she was so happy that she couldn't speak.

Unexpectedly, the emperor said, "Min'er, my Min'er …" If you can give birth to the second prince for me, I will make him Crown Prince! "

Min'er?

Second Prince?

Make him a crown prince?

This sentence was like a bolt out of the blue.

The imperial concubine stared in shock at the half-closed eyes of the delirious emperor before her. She opened her mouth to speak, but was at a loss for words.

Originally … In his muddled state, the emperor treated her like a dead Imperial Concubine Min …

Seeing that the emperor was holding his hand and shouting the Imperial Concubine Min's name one after another, Imperial Consort gently retracted her hand and covered the emperor with a blanket.

The Emperor gradually calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

Imperial Concubine left the dragon bed and sat on a chair to the side. For a long time, her heart was unable to calm down.

Who would have thought that despite the death of the Imperial Concubine Min for so many years, the scars on the emperor's heart were still so deep.

But after being in the palace for six years, with the imperial concubine wholeheartedly serving the emperor and even risking her life to save the emperor, she could never compare to the Imperial Concubine Min. Even until now, she didn't even have a title …

Then would the child in her womb be loved by the Emperor in the future?
