The winds and clouds above the imperial court changed, and the king wanted to begin his retreat.

The voices of opposition were endless, and her lover supported the will of the Son of Heaven.

The weather grew warmer with each passing day. Rong-er's seven months of pregnancy were no longer suitable for bed, and the emperor no longer played Rong-er's cards. He would only come to visit once or twice in a day.

After dinner that night, Ann agreed to come visit Rong'er. As they chatted, the emperor actually came. Ann agreed to see the emperor, so she hurriedly bowed and left. Xuan Ye smiled and said, "This new promise fits well with Rong'er."

"Yeah, I've been coming often recently to accompany me. Your Majesty's three new promises should not be ignored. " Rong'er said with a smile.

Ah, I know, I've chosen them to enter the palace, so I can't leave them alone. Ai, Rong'er, I have so many women, and I'm also annoyed, so much so that I forgot to pay attention to them. Before, Ma and Yi both agreed to my care, but now there are three more. Xuan Ye sighed.

"This …" Rong'er was speechless. As he thought about the matters of the harem, how could he persuade her otherwise? After all, she was a woman of the harem. He paused for a long time before saying, "As long as Your Majesty is willing to do his best."

After saying this, Rong'er and Xuan Ye both laughed. Xuan Ye laughed and said, "This imperial harem is like a palace. Just do your best, haha." Xuan Ye laughed loudly and said, "Rong'er, I was originally in a bad mood, but hearing you say these words, I feel much better."

Rong'er thought that since the imperial harem was relatively peaceful right now, it was definitely a matter of the imperial court. He smiled and asked, "Is there something that's difficult to resolve?"

In fact, he also wanted to tell Rong'er that he was the emperor, and that he had to keep some distance between himself and the officials of the court. He could not let the subjects see through his true thoughts, but he also needed someone to make him speak the truth, and this person was Rong'er, who knew that he understood him.

Xuan Ye clenched his fists and fiddled with his fingers a few times before walking to the warm brick bed beside Rong'er and sitting down. He said, "Rong'er, do you remember that Zhen had once told you about San Fan?"

Rong'er nodded. Earlier last year, when Geng Jiimao, the King of Jingnan, claimed that he was sick and had his son, Geng Jiimao, take over his throne, the Emperor told her about the situation of these three. Rong'er knew that the Emperor intended to remove them.

"Ah, there are three things that I have come to do in my personal affairs that I think are very important: the Three Feathers, the River, and the Water. The reason why An agreed just now is that his father is the Jiangnan River Governor, Li Zhao. His official residence is of the second rank, and I, Jia En, am of the second rank to inform the ministers that I value river affairs, and that Li Zhao's poems are excellent as well. He shouldn't be too inferior to her, and Rong'er can recite poems with her whenever he's free to relieve his boredom. "

Rong'er replied with a smile, "This An promise hasn't been shown to Rong'er yet. He must be a girl who knows her place and can share the Emperor's worries."

Xuan Ye laughed, "I praised her a bit, but does Rong'er care? "Haha, there are so many people in the world who can recite poems, but only Rong'er knows about me."

"The emperor is making fun of Rong'er again." Rong'er pretended to reprimand him, before turning back to the topic at hand. "That Emperor has been annoyed by Sanfan recently."

Xuan Ye smiled and nodded, then said: "Last year Geng Jing Nan was crowned the King of Fan, at the beginning of this year, the King of Pinnan could be considered old, but he was unable to be a director. He wanted to hand over the military power to his son Shang, but a few days ago, he once again requested that the old man return it to his hometown in eastern Liaoning Province, and also requested that his hometown be returned to him. As far as I know, one of the main reasons why he would be so happy to give up Guangdong Province is because his son's trust is so tyrannical, if he were to his son, he would definitely take it for himself." Rong'er listened quietly and nodded his head. Xuan Ye continued, "Since you wish to withdraw, I thought I should allow you to do so."

Rong'er nodded and said, "Does Your Majesty want to use this opportunity to withdraw?"

"Yes, that's right. In fact, I only wanted to withdraw one of them. However, the Emperor of Pingxi, Wu Sangui, said that if we withdraw one, it would arouse the Emperor's suspicion that the imperial court wanted to withdraw one of them." Xuan Ye said.

"Does the Emperor think that Sanfan will rebel?" Rong'er asked with a smile.

"I don't know. Perhaps, perhaps not. If they really do rebel, sooner or later they will rebel. If they don't rebel, then nothing the imperial government does will rebel." Xuan Ye answered thoughtfully.

"Therefore, the Emperor thinks that if he's not rebellious, he might as well retreat. If he's truly rebellious, then rather than telling him to prepare properly and then retreat, it would be better to let him be caught off guard right now." Rong'er asked.

Xuan Ye clapped his hands and laughed. "Right! Rong'er, you still understand me. This is exactly what I was thinking. "

"Then what did the empress dowager say?" Rong'er asked.

"Royal Grandmother does not approve of the withdrawal of Fan. What she means is that among the three of them, the Pingxi King Wu Sangui has the most power. As he gets older, he will slowly reclaim their power." Xuan Ye pondered.

"The emperor doesn't agree with the empress dowager's thoughts?" Rong'er seemed to have seen through Xuan Ye's thoughts as he asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Xuan Ye nodded and looked at Rong'er, waiting for him to continue.

"If he is truly rebellious, he will definitely always be preparing for his counterattack against the imperial government. He will not wait until he is old enough to obediently hand over power, but when he is fully prepared for his counterattack, he will raise a flag to rebel, so if he is truly rebellious, when that time comes, the imperial government will find it very difficult to prepare for his counterattack. Then we might as well force him to rebel now." Rong'er said as he looked at Xuan Ye.

"Rong'er, it's such a pity that you have a female body, otherwise you could have become a pillar of the imperial court." Rong'er, it's such a pity that you have a female body, otherwise, you could have become a pillar of the imperial court. Xuan Ye said in a low voice as he looked up at the ceiling.

"It's not that Rong'er has talent, it's that Rong'er understands the Emperor and knows his heart." Rong'er smiled as he replied, "Rong'er said before that no matter what the emperor decides, Rong'er will support him. Rong'er believes in the emperor."

"Yes, no matter how difficult it is, with Rong'er's support, I have the confidence to do it. If Sanfan were to turn the tables on them, and they possess powerful troops, I have no idea what their chances of victory would be." Xuan Ye smiled bitterly.

"But the emperor has already made his decision, hasn't he?" Rong'er said with a smile.

"Haha, the one who knows me is not Rong'er. Yes, I have already made up my mind!" Xuan Ye firmly said as he looked forward.

"The Emperor would only tell Rong'er when he had a good idea of the situation. Rong'er had discovered this after so many years." Rong'er smiled.

"Haha, yes, I know, but I need Rong'er's support. If Rong'er doesn't support me, then I don't have any doubts. Once I do, I'll be at ease." Xuan Ye walked up to Rong'er and gently held him in his arms, saying in a soft voice, "Earlier this year, there was another person in the capital who called himself the Third Prince of Zhu, saying that he was the previous dynasty's crown prince who tried to seduce the masses. It's just that I didn't think much of him because I thought he was out of luck."

"The Emperor's beloved man must have the heavens as well. Rong'er will pray for the Emperor's safety and get through this calamity." Rong'er murmured under his breath, "The emperor encourages governance and serves the nation and the people. He even forgets to eat and rest every day. He believes that the heavens have eyes. He will definitely know that the emperor is the king, and he will definitely bless the emperor."

It was unknown why Rong'er suddenly felt very nervous. This feeling had never existed before, and no matter how serious the situation was, it didn't seem like it was this time. Xuan Ye seemed to have the same feeling as well as he tightly embraced Rong'er and said, "Rong'er, believe in Zhen. Everything will definitely be fine." Rong'er nodded vigorously in Xuan Ye's embrace.

Kangxi 12 April, the court is still willing to return the request, and as the vassal king still exists, his son is not allowed to take over the position, and his son will not be allowed to take over the prince. Soon after, the Minister of State and Government discussed that Shang was not to be allowed to lead troops to remain in Guangdong Province. Emperor Kang Xizhi was right, he ordered the Shang father and son to remove all the vassals and return them to their homes. All the green flags under the vassal force were handed over to the command of the Governor of Guangdong Province. The matter was officially removed.
