As soon as the Luo family left Yihuan Palace, Emperor Wen arrived at Concubine An's bedroom.

Concubine An leaned back on the chaise longue, secretly weeping. Seeing Emperor Wen arrive, she knelt before him, weeping, "Your Majesty! Please let Cheng Jin go! He's a loyal child, but he lacks strategy! Please let him go and live a carefree life as a prince! It's better than him dying at the hands of the Queen and the Crown Prince later!"

Emperor Wen looked down at Concubine An's charming face, which was covered with tears, and sighed. He reached out to help Concubine An up, and Concubine An leaned against Emperor Wen's arms: "Xiao Lang! Please give us mother and son a chance to live!"

Concubine An was Emperor Wen's childhood sweetheart. Although Emperor Wen had countless concubines in his harem, his favorite was Concubine An, who grew up with him.

Consort An was the second daughter of Duke Anguo and his son, An Zhenghe. Duke An had spent his entire life in the military, and the men in the An family were all brave and resourceful generals. However, the Duke's wife, Mo Yuxin, came from an aristocratic family in Jiangnan, and she had raised both daughters of the An family to be gentle and graceful.

Compared to the Empress's aggressive and aggressive temperament, the virtuous Concubine was cold and aloof. Emperor Wen really liked Concubine An's gentle, lovable, coquettish and clingy personality.

The most important thing is that she only has eyes for him, without any calculation or fighting.

Concubine An will always bring peace and warmth to Emperor Wen.

The most important thing is that she looks most like that person, the woman who is always in Emperor Wen's mind...

Emperor Wen gently supported her back and said sadly, "Qinghuan! Chengjin is in the imperial family, how could he stay out of this? Even if I make him an idle prince now, do you think the crown prince will let him go? You also know that I was forced to appoint the crown prince due to pressure from the court. What I am most satisfied with is our child!"

"The only ones who can stand up to the Prime Minister's party of civil officials are your An and Luo families! Do you want to watch me being devoured alive by the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince?"

Concubine An froze all over. Emperor Wen was still as heartless and cruel as ever!

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she cried, "But, Your Majesty, you also know that Chengjin is too sincere. If you push him to the front to compete with the Crown Prince, he will definitely obey your orders."

"But, Your Majesty, have you ever considered that Cheng Jin lacks strategic planning, while the Prime Minister's influence in the court is complex and ruthless! If Cheng Jin were to encounter any misfortune in the future and fail to help Your Majesty, and if he were to bring harm to the military generals, then..."

Emperor Wen's face froze. He was only thinking about using military force to suppress the civil officials. He had not yet considered that Cheng Jin was indeed too weak in strategy compared to the Crown Prince!

Concubine An's words hit him like a heavy hammer in the heart! His brows were furrowed, and his heart was shaken.

Then think about the Second Prince Chu Chengjin, who is kindhearted but lacks the decisiveness to scheme and kill. Compared with the Prime Minister, he is indeed like an egg against a rock!

Seeing that Emperor Wen had softened, Concubine An said calmly, "Your Majesty, when it comes to strategy, the most serious conflict is among the civil officials."

Emperor Wen's heart was moved: "My beloved concubine is truly my sweetheart!"

"Then Cheng Jin will go to Beiyuan with Luo Jing this time. I will have Grand Tutor Ning go with him so that Cheng Jin can learn the art of being an emperor."

"Qinghuan, Chengjin is my favorite son! I arranged a marriage for the third son of the Luo family so that I could give the entire literary community of Dazhao Kingdom to Chengjin. When the time comes, Chengjin will have military power, the support of civil officials, and the guidance of the Grand Tutor. He will definitely become a qualified crown prince!"

Concubine An was so grateful to Emperor Wen that she burst into tears! She spoke to him tenderly and tenderly for a while.

After seeing Emperor Wen off, the young palace maid escorted Concubine An to bed. When the yellow candlelight went out, An Qinghuan's tender and affectionate face turned cold!

A qualified crown prince? The prerequisite is to survive! Emperor Wen loves only himself. If he really wants to train Cheng Jin to be the crown prince, he would not want to push him forward to compete with the crown prince.

He just wanted to support a prince and not allow the prince's power to be greater than his imperial power!

Concubine An knew that her palace was full of Emperor Wen's spies and secret guards. She was not as foolish as the Empress and wanted to eliminate all of Emperor Wen's secret agents.

Emperor Wen was a suspicious and unemotional person, and being too shrewd only made him suspicious.

An Qinghuan knew what to do to reassure Emperor Wen. Not only were there people from Emperor Wen in her palace, but there were also people in the Second Prince's Mansion, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, and even General Luo's Mansion.

Whatever Emperor Wen wanted to see, they let him see it. The An and Luo families had always been loyal ministers of Emperor Wen, and the Second Prince had no intention of seizing the throne, let alone rebelling!

Emperor Wen would feel at ease to support the second prince because he felt that everything was under his control!

Who wouldn't want that position? But Cheng Jin couldn't stand out right now. If he faced the Queen's faction before he was fully grown, he would die miserably! The entire An and Luo families would be wiped out in Dazhao...

The Queen and the Crown Prince are vicious and cruel, but Cheng Jin cares about the world and disdains conspiracies and intrigues. She must fight to the death to free her son from the vortex of struggle!

Concubine An blinked in the darkness. Luo Lingyue's fall from the water had unexpectedly dealt a blow to the Queen's faction. It also contributed to Cheng Jin's exile, keeping him away from the struggle for the throne.

I have to admit that Luo Lingyue is a lucky star!

Concubine An is no longer the innocent and silly An Qinghuan of the past. She will no longer expect Emperor Wen to protect her and her son.

There are no fathers and sons in the royal family! There are no husbands and wives!

Emperor Wen returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He sat on the Dragon Throne, lowered his eyes, and asked Eunuch Gao, "Gao Rui, do the Luo and An families really have no ambition at all? I gave them the opportunity to compete with the Crown Prince, and they actually backed down!"

Eunuch Gao's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Was this something he could answer? He still hoped to leave his body intact in the future! He didn't dare to offend the civil officials or the military commanders! He didn't dare to speculate on the emperor's intentions at will!
