Emperor Jianxi looked towards Concubine Gao, who said in a pretentious manner, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I spoke out of turn."
At this time, Zhao Xi stepped forward and volunteered, "I, your son, am willing to lend my life to your father!"
Emperor Jianxi was deeply moved, but how could he borrow the life of his beloved son?
Emperor Jianxi refused.
But Emperor Jianxi also did not want to die. Since ancient times, all emperors have longed for immortality. Emperor Jianxi had a stern look on his face and forced Master Wufa and Zhao Zihua to find a way to achieve immortality.
If they don’t agree or can’t find it, kill them both!
Zhao Zihua felt very aggrieved. Her maternal grandfather actually wanted to kill her. He really didn't love her anymore.
But she had to agree, and Master Wufa was forced to obey the order.
However, Concubine Gang's eyes darkened.
Zhao Xi took Zhao Zihua and Master Wufa away and asked, "Is there really no way to prolong life?"
He selfishly wanted Emperor Jianxi to live longer.
He had not been loved by his father since he was a child, and he wanted to stay longer.
However, the Hairless Mage was determined.
Zhao Xi felt indescribable pain and regret in his heart.
At this time, Concubine Gang's personal maid came over and wanted to call Master Wufa over.
Although Zhao Xi was confused, he still let Master Wufa pass.
The next day, Master Wufa came up with an idea and told Emperor Jianxi that borrowing someone's life span would not harm that person, as long as that person had a very noble fate and had the appearance of an emperor, he would not be affected by the borrower's power.
Imperial Concubine Gang came out at the right moment and tried to test the waters, "Prince Ding's filial piety is truly moving, and Your Majesty's love for his son is similar. But if Your Majesty makes Prince Ding the Crown Prince, Your Majesty can extend his lifespan, and Prince Ding's lifespan will not be shortened. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
Emperor Jianxi frowned, as if thinking seriously.
But Zhao Xi understood, his face looked unhappy, and he cursed Concubine Qi as a fool in his heart!
Although this move is beneficial to him, it is not what he really wants.
Wouldn't acting like this make his father misunderstand him and think that he was threatening him for the throne?
He is not that despicable!
As expected, Emperor Jianxi said solemnly, "Xi'er, do you think this method is feasible?"
Zhao Xi knelt down, "Father, you absolutely cannot do this! I am willing to help you live a long life, but I have no intention of threatening you with this!"
Emperor Jianxi leaned listlessly on the jade pillow, stared at him for a long while, and said softly, "I know."
"My Xi'er is filial."
"You are so filial, I cannot let you down. Don't worry, I will give you what you want."
"Father..." Zhao Xi's face looked extremely ugly.
Concubine Gang was afraid that Zhao Xi would do something bad, so she hurriedly said, "With your Majesty's promise, Prince Ding will definitely make your Majesty's wish come true. Your Majesty..." Concubine Gang pretended to be tender and said, "You must stay with me forever. I can't bear to leave your Majesty."
Emperor Jianxi looked at Concubine Gao for a long while. Before she could get irritated by his gaze, he looked away. His voice was slightly hoarse, "I know what you want. Never mind."
"I will issue a will on a chosen day."
Concubine Gang was ecstatic because her son was going to become the crown prince!
Emperor Jianxi spoke for a while and felt a little tired. "You all should leave!"
Imperial Concubine Gang avoided Zhao Xi's cold gaze and said, "Your Majesty, I will stay and serve you!"
"You go too!"
Concubine Gang was stunned and had to take her leave.
Sure enough, Zhao Xi found her and had someone wait at a distance. He warned her coldly, "Who told you to do this?! Do you really think you're my biological mother?"
Concubine Gang looked at Zhao Xi with a mixture of heartache and resentment, "How dare you say that about me? If it weren't for that fake, I would be your biological mother!"
Zhao Xi snorted coldly, "What's the point of being my biological mother? Did you give birth to me? Don't forget, we're just mutually beneficial. You helped me ascend to the throne, and I'll reward you with wealth and glory. As for the rest, don't even think about it!"
"Okay, okay, I finally see through you. I treated you like my own son! But don't pretend to be a good person. What did I do wrong in this matter? Now that you have gained the benefits, don't act like a good kid anymore!"
The two of them completely fell out.
Zhao Xi was speechless.
Yes, what right does he have to say anything else? It’s just the same destination.
Zhao Xi and Concubine Gang parted ways on bad terms. After they left, a young eunuch with great martial arts skills also left.
In the Yangxin Palace, the young eunuch told Zhao Xi and the other man everything they had said.
Emperor Jianxi looked indifferent and did not express anything. He raised his hand and let him leave.
The news that Emperor Jianxi wanted to appoint a crown prince quickly spread throughout the court, the country, and the princess's mansion.
There is also news that Zhao Zihua has entered the palace, the spirit boy has blessed the emperor, and the emperor is in good health.
After being frustrated for a long time, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing. She really was going backwards as she grew older. Zhao Zihua could see her father, but she couldn't.
Fortunately, my father is in good health.
If her father can live longer, she can live longer too.
In the past, she could relieve her depression by sucking the baby's milk, but Shangguan Qingyue and Shangguan Qingwan went to stay temporarily in the Duke's Mansion, and she couldn't find them.
Zhao Ying asked someone to bring Shangguan Qiyou over for him to smell. Although her son had the smell of a chicken when he grew up, and her three sons who were in their growth period, Chengjing smelled like a cowshed, and Bailin smelled like a puppy... But as a mother, she had to endure it. However, after a while, someone came to tell her that Shangguan Qiyou had gone out to play.
Maybe it was because of the hot weather, Zhao Ying was very anxious and angry, so she simply went into the palace to find the queen. Although her father forbade her to enter the palace, she was used to being domineering and willful. Could her father really beat her for this?
Zhao Ying felt that as long as she did not covet the throne, her father would not do anything to her.
Last time, Concubine Gang provoked and forced the Queen to move to another palace, but after she made a big fuss, the matter was left unresolved.
In Kunning Palace, the mother and daughter were chatting when suddenly, Wu Yonggui came over to convey an imperial decree.
"Empress Dowager, Princess Chengqian, His Majesty summons you both to the Yangxin Palace now."
