Although the Prince of Jin is good at making money, he also values ​​profit. How could he not know about the opium issue? He was afraid that the Qin family would make things difficult for him in the future. He could watch me being poisoned. Such an unfilial person who does not care about things that do not concern him should not be the emperor.

Qi Yuning asked, "What about Prince Shou?"

Emperor Shiyuan said, "If Prince Shou had only pretended to love his people like his own children, I would have considered him for the throne, but he is simply too kind.

When Shengjing City was in chaos, he settled all the refugees in the palace. The palace was looted, but he still thought it was a blessing. Like his mother, he believed in Buddhism and reincarnation, and that doing good deeds in this life would bring good fortune in the next life. If he ascended the throne, I'm afraid he would only give silver to every citizen, and the Great Sheng Empire would be ruined sooner or later..."

Emperor Shi Yuan sighed and said, "I have so many sons. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of my brothers who fought for the throne and caused chaos in the country, I decided from the beginning that the Queen's son would be the crown prince. Even though the Queen has never had children, I only placed my hopes on the King of Shu. I neglected to discipline my other sons..."

Until now, this kingdom has no son to inherit. I didn't expect that the one I am most satisfied with is Ze'er. It's a pity that he is my grandson, not my biological grandson. It would be great if Ze'er was my biological grandson. "

Qi Yuning said, "Your Majesty, you have more than a dozen grandchildren."

Emperor Shi Yuan listened to Qi Yuning's words and asked, "Lingling said that the last person to ascend the throne was my grandson?"

Qi Yuning nodded and said, "That's right."

Emperor Shi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is it the grandson of the old family?"

Qi Yuning raised three fingers at the cuff of his sleeve.

Emperor Shiyuan said, "I will issue a decree to pass on the throne. Yuning, you keep it for me."

Qi Yuning knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Shi Yuan sighed and said, "I know I may not survive this year. The situation in the court is turbulent right now. Designating a grandson as the crown prince will definitely lead to criticism. I am giving you the imperial edict of succession now, so that we can prepare for any eventuality."

Qi Yuning bit her lip lightly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Shi Yuan then asked, "When do you and Ze'er plan to get married? It's not advisable to delay any longer."

Qi Yuning said, "It will be in a month, on October 28th. I believe there won't be any trouble this time, and the wedding will go smoothly."

The closer the wedding date got, the more she worried that she wouldn't be able to get married for the third time.
