Chapter 137: Yinreng’s choice turns out to be his own destruction…
After the army returned to the Forbidden City, Xuanye certainly had no intention of accepting congratulations from the former court and the harem. After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the first thing he did was to summon Yinreng with a sullen face.
From the moment Yinreng chose Zheng, he knew that there would be a storm when he faced his father.
"How have you been handling government affairs during the time I was away from the palace?" It was really difficult to say what was in the secret letter. Xuanye thought about it again and again, and finally started with government affairs.
Yinreng replied, "I have sorted out the important matters of the previous dynasty and placed them at your father's hand."
Xuanye murmured, flipping open the booklet beside him. After glancing through it briefly, he was actually willing to acknowledge Yinreng's abilities from the bottom of his heart, worthy of being the crown prince he had personally nurtured. But...
"Father, do you have something to ask?" Before Xuanye could get angry, Yinreng spoke first, "I know that Father's urgent call for me must be about more than just the affairs of the previous dynasty."
Xuanye closed the booklet and pondered for a long moment before saying, "Yinreng, you are the crown prince of this dynasty, the heir apparent!"
"Son knows." Yinreng lowered his head slightly. Facing his father, he certainly felt guilty, but in his heart, he had already made a choice as to what was more important.
Xuanye no longer beat around the bush with Yinreng. He simply said, "That Zheng Ying'er cannot be kept. You and I, father and son, will just pretend that this incident never happened. You will be the crown prince, and I will be the emperor."
"Father!" Yinreng actually knelt on the ground. "My son and Ying'er really like each other. I dare to ask Father for your blessing!"
"Nonsense!" Xuanye grabbed the booklet at hand and threw it hard in Yinreng's face. "Do you still understand your status? Do you have any knowledge of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame? If even a little word of this gets out, how will the court and the harem see you? How can you continue to sit on the throne of the crown prince?"
Yinreng frowned and said in a deep voice, "As for the word love, I think Father knows it better than I do. I think Father treats Concubine Yi sincerely."
"How can Zheng Ying'er be compared with Xiu Yu!" Yinreng actually brought up Xiu Yu, which was simply pouring a bucket of fuel on Xuanye's already simmering anger. Xuanye then said: "Xiu Yu and I are in accordance with etiquette and rules, but you!"
Yinreng was somewhat afraid, but he was a stubborn man. Once he'd made up his mind, he wouldn't back down. Furthermore, the feeling Zheng Ying'er gave him was something he had never felt before. It could be said that it wasn't until he saw her that he understood what true love was. "Father, I beg you once again. What's going on between me and Ying'er can't be explained in a few words. Do you understand that feeling, Father?"
"You!" Xuanye pointed his right index finger at Yinreng, his arm trembling slightly. "Get out! Go back to your Crown Prince's Palace!"
Looking at Yinreng's back, Xuanye leaned heavily on the dragon throne. He couldn't understand why the prince he had spent so much effort to cultivate, the heir to the throne of the Qing Dynasty, fell into the hands of a woman! For a woman, he actually gave up the world!
Liang Jiugong had never seen his master like this before, and panicked. He quickly ordered his apprentice, who was waiting outside the palace, to go to the Yikun Palace and invite Master Yi over. "In this situation, perhaps Master Yi is the only one who can comfort the Emperor," Liang Jiugong thought.
