Before the Sixth Prince finished speaking, Empress Xiao understood her son's intentions. She was so angry that she was out of breath and trembling all over...

The front of her purple, low-cut palace dress looked like it could not bear the pressure.

"I don't know what sin I committed in my previous life to give birth to a son like you!"

After saying this, Empress Xiao held her forehead with her hand, looking like she was about to collapse.

The chief eunuch hurried forward, patted her back and helped her breathe, with a worried look on his face, and said comforting words.

He turned to the Sixth Prince Liu Jing and said, "Your Highness, I beg you, please stop making the Queen angry and just listen to her."

There was a trace of worry on Liu Jing's face, but more of melancholy, and he was caught in a dilemma.

"Mother, please don't be angry...

I promise you that I will work harder on state affairs to please you, my father. I will agree to whatever you say in the future. But please don't interfere in this matter. Besides, I am not going to do anything treasonous."

After Empress Xiao heard what the Sixth Prince said, she felt a little better. She had wholeheartedly wanted her son to become the crown prince, but he had never put his heart into it and never really listened to her. She thought that as long as he followed her wishes and fought for the crown prince position, anything could be discussed.

"Jing'er, according to you, as long as the Queen Mother agrees to this matter, you will obey the Queen Mother in everything, right?"

Liu Jing nodded heavily.

Empress Xiao frowned slightly as she thought. She also realized that her son had been bewitched by the bitch Fanghua and was probably lovesick. She had no choice but to agree, as not agreeing would only make things worse.

"Well, mother promised that no matter who you like, it doesn't matter...

But, Jing'er, your mother still has to tell you something. Everything you can get now is illusory. Only when you inherit your father's position can you truly control your own destiny. At that time, there will be no woman you can't get!"

Empress Xiao was helpless and had to remind her son earnestly, hoping that he would consider the overall situation and think longer term.

"Thank you, mother, for your help!"

"Okay, mother is tired, you can leave now."

Empress Xiao looked at her son, whose face showed some joy, and felt that there was nothing more to say. She was afraid that only the first half of her words were in his mind. There was nothing she could do but support him from behind.

After the Sixth Prince left, Empress Xiao could no longer hold back her tears and sobbed...

"If my poor Xuan'er were still alive, I wouldn't have to fight with others all day, and I wouldn't interfere too much with Jing'er. As long as he is safe and happy, that's all."

"Your Majesty, please don't be too sad. The Sixth Prince is actually very smart. I believe that he will understand your good intentions in time."

The chief eunuch comforted Empress Xiao, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Come to think of it, if the eldest prince was still alive, he would not have so many tough jobs. Moreover, after the eldest prince successfully ascended the throne, he would be able to make a fortune in the harem. Now, he had to deal with such an unreliable master as the Sixth Prince, and he did not dare to think too much, as he might get into trouble someday.

Empress Xiao wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and said, "Tell Xiao Niuzi, who is waiting outside, to go back and tell Eunuch Wu that if Jing'er goes there, he must stay by her side...

Also, please go to Eunuch Cao's place. No matter what you do, this matter must not reach His Majesty's ears."

…

"Xiaodouzi, how are the preparations going over there?"

After the Sixth Prince Liu Jing left Shouning Palace, he asked the young eunuch who followed behind him.

"Your Highness, everything is probably almost ready over there, and the drinks and food have been delivered. It's just the right time for us to go there now.

But Your Highness, I feel that you are of such a noble status, isn’t a place like the torture chamber too shabby?”

Liu Jing curled his lips and said, "Stop talking too much. What do you know, you stupid servant? Do you think that His Highness is willing to go to such a shabby place...

However, thinking about it, Your Highness has never been there, it is a different kind of experience. Drinking and chatting in such a place may be poetic and picturesque. "

Liu Jing's face was filled with joy. He was so happy that he couldn't wait to do it.

Ever since he first saw Madam Fanghua dance at the age of fourteen, he could no longer remain calm as he was in love. The scene that haunted him repeated countless times in his dreams, but he could only bury it in his heart, and he didn't even have the chance to see Madam Fanghua again.

Now, he finally has this opportunity. He really doesn't care about the position of crown prince or the throne of the emperor. He has the convenience of being in charge of Yeyouting. He just wants to prevent her from suffering. He doesn't care about anything else.

He also understood that he might be going against the will of the world, but there was nothing he could do. He really could not control his heart. No matter what the cost, he wanted to follow his heart.

However, at this moment, in his heart, his mother's words that only by becoming an emperor can he truly control his own destiny still made him feel a little throbbing. He had never felt this way before...

…

"Little Stick Man!"

Xing Bang was drinking tea in the yard thoughtfully when Li Xiaowan suddenly came uninvited.

"Girl, I've told you so many times. Didn't I tell you again earlier when I was with your mother? How could you forget it so quickly?

I'll tell you one last time, remove the word father-in-law, or I'll spank you."

Li Xiaowan blushed, lowered her head slightly and said shyly: "It's not that I can't remember, but I just think calling you little Korean is a little too much..."

Xing Bang smiled, "What's wrong, little girl, have you grown up?"

Li Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "I just think that's disrespectful..."

"Okay, then you can just call me Brother Bang from now on. It's only a matter of time anyway!"

"Brother Bang?"

Li Xiaowan frowned slightly, thought it was a good idea, and agreed without thinking, obviously not knowing what the following words meant.

"Little Loli is nice, but to be fair, she still lacks a lot of meaning."

Xing Bang sighed with emotion...

"By the way, Xiaowan, what are you talking about when you come to see me? You didn't miss me after not seeing me for a while, did you?"

Li Xiaowan blushed again. At this age when she was just beginning to fall in love, she would become shy at the slightest teasing.

If this happens unexpectedly...my heart will explode!

“No, it’s not like that…

People come to ask Brother Bang what disease my mother has, is it a serious disease?"

Li Xiaowan was a little worried. She had been taking medicine for so many days but there was no improvement. She couldn't sleep all night and she didn't let anyone know...

She always felt something was wrong and would not stop until she found out the truth...
