Today, he said this in order to calm the prince's mind and tell him not to use these boring little tricks in the future.

"Prince! If you sit on this throne, you must do your duty and not bring shame to the royal family! Otherwise, there are many people who can sit in your position."

After the emperor said his last words with an implicit warning, he looked at Du Changming's reaction seriously.

Du Changming was initially happy when he heard the emperor's words, because he knew that his father supported him.

But after hearing what happened next, I felt a little unhappy. What did it mean that there were many people sitting in my seat?

That means that my father not only allows me to be the emperor, but is also willing to give other brothers a chance, right?

Unexpectedly, just after defeating Sheng Mingyu, many enemies appeared again.

He naturally knew that his brothers were eyeing this position covetously.

If what we said today gets out, I'm afraid it will make them ambitious and bring a lot of trouble to myself.

"What? Your Highness's face is so grim. Do you have any objections to my decision? Then you might as well speak frankly. I only want you to go out and solve the problem. Don't even mention that you, the crown prince, can't even quell a few rumors!"

The emperor really didn't give the prince any face and kept scolding him in front of Sheng Mingyu.

Sheng Mingyu felt helpless.

This father and son are really a headache. He never thought that if they want to seize the throne, why do they have to pretend in front of him?

What's more, what the emperor just said should be said to other princes, not to himself.

"Your son dare not!" Du Changming suppressed his temper and did not dare to speak too excitedly, for fear that the emperor would hear something was wrong.

He may feel uncomfortable and unbalanced in his heart, but he cannot show it in front of the emperor.

Otherwise, the position of the crown prince really needs to be replaced.

"I have taken to heart what the Emperor said just now. However, I do not know whose mouth it was that let these words slip out, for the common people to hear them. The only thing I can do is to try to control it. If Your Highness has a solution, then please do not hide it. Instead, you can discuss it with me. I will do my best to support you."

The prince did not finish his words, as the matter originally came from his mouth.

If we really want to deal with it thoroughly, don't we have to arrest all the people under our command?

The prince couldn't bring himself to do this, and what's more, he wanted to let the rumors ferment for a while.

Even if there is no way to make Sheng Mingyu pay the price, he must force Sheng Mingyu away.

Otherwise, he would never feel at peace in Kyoto.

"What do you think, Prince?" The emperor did not continue to force Du Changming, but turned his attention to Sheng Mingyu.

He also wanted to know what Sheng Mingyu had decided to do.

Sheng Mingyu has done a lot for him, and he also needs to consider Sheng Mingyu's thoughts.

"Don't tell me you haven't heard these rumors. This also concerns your Crown Prince's Consort. I'm sure the servants have already told you. Just tell me the truth and tell me what you want to do. I will respect your decision."

When the emperor spoke to Sheng Mingyu, his tone was much gentler, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face.

Du Changming felt extremely unbalanced when he saw his father like this. He was obviously his father's biological son, so why did his father give all his tenderness to Sheng Mingyu?

What's more, he was clearly the one who was wronged in this matter, okay?

Why was Sheng Mingyu appeased?

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of seizing the throne, and I will do my utmost to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in securing the throne."

Seeing that it was his turn, Sheng Mingyu quickly stood up from his chair and knelt directly in the center of the hall, once again expressing his loyalty.

Sometimes he really feels tired. As a member of an imperial family, does he need to always be suspicious of his subordinates?

He has said this countless times.

"I don't know what the person who spread the rumor outside is thinking, but I think that the rumor will slowly disintegrate on its own. There's no need to worry about it. Anyway, as long as my mind remains unchanged, no matter how many rumors are spread, it won't bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Sheng Mingyu said these words, he looked at Du Changming. He didn't want to solve these problems.

This has already caused me great inconvenience. Since they are willing to spread it, let them spread it.

In the end, these people will only question Du Changming's ability, and not their own thoughts.

After all, he spends all day on the battlefield killing enemies. If he really wants to usurp the throne, how could he bear so many scars for the royal family?

"Oh? So the prince means to let this matter go, but this concerns the royal family's reputation, so you should think about it again."

When the emperor heard Sheng Mingyu's words, his expression was no longer as happy as before.

How did Sheng Mingyu become so ignorant?

You can be willful in other matters, but can you be willful in such matters?

"Prince, you should think of a solution. Anyway, this is my opinion. I hope you two won't let me down. Okay, do what needs to be done. I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with. I will wait here for your good news."

The emperor no longer had much patience with Sheng Mingyu, and the prince couldn't help laughing when he saw this situation.

It seems that Sheng Mingyu is not very sensible either.

Sheng Mingyu didn't care about the attitude of the father and son towards her. She walked out of the palace and finally felt relieved. She no longer had to face these troubles.

Du Changming was very proud of himself, and he forgot that he had been scolded before.

"Your Highness, please stay. I have many things I want to discuss with you. Since my father has entrusted this mission to you and me, we must naturally work together to complete it. I also want to understand your inner thoughts so that I can know what to do."

Du Changming's words sounded very reasonable, but his attitude was not particularly serious.

Everything he was doing now was just to let the emperor see it, and he didn't care about anything else.

He happened to be still in the palace, and he believed that everything he did would reach the ears of His Majesty.

If I leave the palace, those people will no longer stare at me.

"Oh? Your Highness, do you really want to know? Then I will not be polite. It's just that if I say this, Your Highness will be angry." Sheng Mingyu's face was full of sarcasm, and he was not very polite when speaking to Du Changming.

Anyway, he has been living like this for many years and has long been accustomed to it. Even if he is not used to it, he will try his best to get used to it.

"What are you talking about, Prince? As long as it's your opinion, I will seriously consider it. Since it's between the two of us, I won't ignore your opinion. Besides, Prince, you are always very reliable. As long as you say it, it should be effective. I believe you."
