The Emperor raised his head. Yes, but more importantly, there are rumors of the descent of the Violet Star.
"There are two possibilities. The first is that what the scholar said is true, so this baby..." Even if the crown prince were to inherit the throne, this infant will not be able to do so.
"Of course!" The emperor's face had darkened to the eve of the storm.
"Then if royal father keeps his biological mother, in the future, when he has no other choice … "Useful."
The emperor's thoughts changed three times before slowly nodding.
"Placing the greatest threat in my eyes is better than not being able to control it." Upon seeing him so moved, Xiao Yi Xiu sneered in his heart. He would immediately light up a cloud of smoke. What kind of truth would the Emperor be able to see through the smoke?
"Secondly, that rumor is purely a rumor. Since it began at the end of Qing Ping, it has its own reasons."
The Emperor pondered for a long time, and the gloomy expression on his face slowly faded, replacing it was an unfathomable profoundness.
"If royal father is fine, this son will take his leave first."
The Emperor nodded and waved his hand. A trace of deep exhaustion flashed through his eyes as he gasped for breath, seeming extremely weak.
Xiao Yi Xiu hesitated for a moment before he stood still and looked at him, "Royal father seems to be tired easily these days. Would you like to see a famous doctor? "
"I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while." The Emperor rubbed his glabella, as if he wasn't worried about his body at all.
Xiao Yi Xiu was silent. As expected, after Luo Yun entered the palace, she found out that the empress had poisoned him from the shadows and aroused the Emperor's suspicions. [Then the Crown Prince must be an illegitimate child …] No matter what, he would not kill his own grandson while he was still a baby. After all, he had let him live back then.
He walked slowly out of the palace, trying to look weaker.
When Gu Qingli heard that Xiao Yi had gone south to supervise the construction of the water conservancy and flood control construction of the dike, she was shocked at first and then found it laughable. The emperor was treating him like Li Bing, how could he build water conservancy?
"It's just that the overseer is mainly about dealing with the people after the flood." The purpose of supervising the construction of a water conservancy project was to prevent the new water conservancy worker from making a profit. The reason was for him to supervise and make important decisions. It was not to expect him to actually build a water conservancy project.
Gu Qing Li pondered for a moment before saying, "Bring me along."
"I'm hesitating about this too. I'll bring you along because I'm afraid no one will be guarding the manor. If I don't bring you along, we'll leave for two months …" Xiao Yi Xiu said as he hugged her. His thin lips were rubbing against her ear, and his cold voice sounded soft and gentle.
"Don't touch." Gu Qingli slapped the back of his hand with a blush on her face. It was clear that she couldn't stop him from molesting her. None of us are in the palace, so there aren't many secrets to be unearthed. As for the secret rooms, your shadow guards will naturally take care of them. "Gabriella can take care of her daily chores, but she is from a large clan, so she can't do any bad chores."
"What I'm afraid of is that someone will take advantage of the situation and enter." Xiao Yi Xiu's eyes darkened.
"You can leave Suifeng in charge."
"Suifeng?" He shook his head. Suifeng was one of his most trusted aides, but to say that he was meticulous in his actions and was able to change anything in his life was not enough. He could only follow him and carry out some orders.
"Then let Liu Yanyu take a look."
"Liu Yanyu?" He was a trustworthy and competent person, but in the end, he was still an outsider. Moreover, Luo Yun … Xiao Yi Xiu hesitated.
"As long as you give him a certain amount of authority, he will definitely be able to handle it."
"Do you really think highly of him?"
"That's right, Young Master Liu is a man of good character, easygoing and quick to react …" That person had a gentle appearance and was also very … "Ugh!" Gu Qingli's eyes were wide open. Her soft lips were blocked by the wall, making her unable to speak. She almost couldn't breathe. Then, his lips felt numb from the pain and he took a bite.
She snickered in her heart. This black-hearted fellow was becoming more and more jealous. From time to time, he would forget about his reservation and let out a sour feeling.
It was only after much difficulty that Xiao Yi Xiu finally let go of her and thought about Du Ying.
When Gu Qingli heard that he was going to send Du Ying and her son to the palace, her expression changed. "No!" Although she hadn't been with Du Ying for long, Du Ying's character was gentle and pure, and her character was noble and pure. She was very different from those women who lived in the dust, and she didn't want to put her in prison.
"I have already protected her in front of royal father. Although she won't be free after entering the palace, there shouldn't be much of a problem. "If you can endure it for a while, you can always see the moon."
"But she must be forced to separate from her child. Since Xiao Yi Bei hurt her to such an extent, he must also separate her and her son. This is too inhumane."
"If she stays in Xuanhua Pavilion, it would be even more inhuman for the child to not recognize her as her ancestor." Xiao Yi Xiu said indifferently, "Moreover, there is no such thing as a wall without wind. Since her story is spread far and wide, it will be known to others sooner or later. At that time, it will be extremely dangerous."
Gu Qingli glared at him. "You still have the nerve to say that?" You dare to say that the rumors about the Purple Comet were not made by you? You used her, put her in danger, and forced her into the palace … Now, you're saying that it's for her own good? "
Xiao Yi Xiu smiled faintly. "You're a woman as well. How can you not understand a woman's heart?"
"I just don't understand. I also know that as a mother, no matter what, he is unwilling to part with his son."
"Could it be that she's willing to be separated from the person she loves forever?"
"Your lover? "Pfft, you want to talk about that scumbag Xiao Yi Bei?" Gu Qingli couldn't help but feel that Du Ying should never have feelings for that scum of a man. She remembered Du Ying saying that she only had hatred left in her heart and no longer held any hope for that man.
Xiao Yi Xiu laughed calmly, "Even if she hates it to the point that she wants to devour its flesh and drink its blood, she has to do it herself, because that is the man she wants. You're not her, you can't decide what to do for her. Some people, love wants to make them live, some people, love wants to make them die … It's better to die by your own hands than by someone else's. "
Gu Qingli was silent for a moment before she suddenly shivered, as if she had never truly known this delicate and beautiful woman.
Xuanhua Tower was as bustling as ever. In this gold selling cave where both elegance and customs coexisted, one would be able to light up the beauties who walked the streets, and one would also be able to light up the elegantly talented and talented women. But from today onwards, no one would be able to make Du Ying sing a song or sing a chant anymore.
Gu Qingli, who was wearing a veil on her face, stepped into Du Ying's room. Seeing her gently and affectionately hug the infant, patting him gently while she coaxed him, her heart suddenly felt sore.
Du Ying raised her head and smiled gently at Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li when she heard their voices.
Gu Qingli felt that she was even more gentle than before, her face even had a holy light to it. It was obvious that she had just become a mother's love and benevolence.
"The Emperor wants you and your mother to enter the palace. He should be able to find a way to give this child a proper birth and recognize him as his ancestor … "As for you, you will also enter the palace, but …" Gu Qingli couldn't bear it any longer. How could she say such cruel words to such a loving and benevolent mother?
Du Ying smiled. "I understand. I can imagine the consequences." She lowered her head and looked deeply at the infant in the crook of her arm. Ever since the child was born, she had hired a wet nurse. She knew that she would be separated from him sooner or later. She might not even be able to see him again.
