Why does the old emperor want to see her again?

Xiao Xu had the idea of asking Wu Jingyi to meet the emperor on her behalf, but the thought had just come to her mind.

But Boss Shen ruthlessly shot him down: "He specifically asked you to go."

As the imperial teacher, she did not have to obey the imperial edict, but the old emperor was about to be buried, and if she did not go, she would be criticized.

So, she got on the carriage to the palace, said goodbye to the boss, and left.

As soon as he entered the palace, Xiao Xu was taken to the emperor's bedroom.

When she saw the old emperor for the first time, she thought there was something wrong with her eyes. Was this the emperor who looked haggard and about to die yesterday?

He actually sat up and reviewed memorials?

The old emperor looked in very good spirits and did not look at all like someone who had been bedridden for a long time.

Xiao Yu felt strange. She took two steps closer. The old emperor, who was reviewing memorials, turned his head and looked over. He waved, his wrinkled face amiable. "The Imperial Master is here. Please feel free to sit down."

"No need for that. Your Majesty, please speak directly if you have anything to say."

The old emperor put down the memorial in his hand and sighed secretly, "I know I don't have many years left to live. I already talked to the Imperial Master about some of this yesterday."

Of course she remembered that some people fell asleep while talking.

"Actually, I had something unfinished yesterday. I invited you into the palace today to tell you what I was going to say next."

The old emperor said this, left the desk, walked slowly to the chair and sat down, his kind face turned serious: "The prince is not without an heir."

The room was silent for a moment.

After a long time, the emperor spoke again: “The prince’s heir is Shen Yanjin.”

This is simply earth-shattering!

Boss Shen is the prince's son?

How could it be possible...

He doesn't look like the prince.

The image of the female ghost following the prince suddenly flashed through Xiao Xu's mind.

If what the old emperor said is true, then Mr. Shen's face does look a bit like that female ghost...

The old emperor took a sip of tea, gave her a moment to digest it, and then continued, "The first time I saw him, I knew he was my grandson."

No wonder the old emperor dotes on Mr. Shen more than his own son...

This is because they know that it is their royal seed, their royal sapling, that they make so many exceptions.

The Tian family is cruel to everyone, but they only show a little mercy to their own descendants.

The elderly are also closer to their grandchildren and like their grandchildren more than their sons.

Xiao Yan: "Does he...know?"

The old emperor smiled and said, "I haven't told him, but I know he is very smart. There are some things I don't need to tell him, he should know them."

"Then...what about the prince?"

When the Crown Prince was mentioned, the smile that the old emperor had managed to maintain faded. He snorted, "If he knew, I don't know how much Jin'er would be tortured."

"Grandmaster, I hope you can help the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince well. This is my last wish."

Xiao Xu glanced at the old emperor, who was smiling bitterly. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he spoke: "As long as I am here, the country will remain in the hands of the prince."

Anyway, she didn't mention any names.

As long as the great country still exists, she will support any prince who can bring happiness to the people of the great country.

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Imperial Master, your words resonate deeply with me."

Xiao Yan: "..."

The conversation lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

The old emperor seemed to have drunk a lot of tea during this time. She didn't know if she was overthinking it or something else.
