After Tan Yuan was assassinated for the second time, Emperor Rui once again came to the courtyard in private clothes.
This time, Yinli did not stay outside the courtyard, but sat with Tanyuan. Emperor Rui looked at Yinli unkindly, then looked at Tanyuan: "Jingshi, what do you mean?"
In front of Tan Yuan, Emperor Rui's attitude was very humble.
"Yinli is my wife, and we are already married. I didn't have a father before, so I didn't need one, but now I have a father, and it is reasonable for me to introduce her to you."
Emperor Rui was startled, and his old face rarely showed excitement: "Do you mean you are willing to acknowledge me as your father?"
"Father." Tan Yuan called out crisply.
"Father." The husband followed the wife's lead.
When Emperor Rui heard Tan Yuan's words, he was happy, but not excited. Then he heard Yin Li's words and was stunned. He was obviously unhappy that Yin Li called him like that.
But Emperor Rui was happier than unhappy.
He patted Tan Yuan's shoulder excitedly: "Good boy, good boy!"
"Father, there is one thing I must explain to you. Yinli is not a spy for Prince Jin." Tan Yuan then explained, and finally said: "She is a fox just like mother."
Tan Yuan looked at Yin Li and patted his legs. Yin Li understood immediately and instantly turned into a little white fox, jumping onto Tan Yuan's legs. Her long white tail was shaking, and even though there was no expression on her face, one could feel her joy.
Emperor Rui looked at this scene and was stunned again.
In a trance, he saw the woman in red in his memory turned into a little white fox and ran into his arms.
Who says that the imperial family is the most ruthless? But few people know that if a ruthless person becomes affectionate, he will become the most affectionate person in the world. But he failed to protect her. Even though he left the throne vacant for her and found her son, she would never see that person again.
Perhaps because Yinli was a fox, Emperor Rui's attitude towards her became much better.
In his heart, foxes are the cutest creatures in the world.
As the night deepened, the lamp had to be refilled with oil several times. When the sky gradually brightened, the tea on the table had already cooled down. Emperor Rui then stood up. Having sat all night, his body was still a little stiff when he stood up, and he staggered a little.
Tan Yuan supported him and said gently, "Father, you should rest earlier in the future."
"Okay." Emperor Rui patted his hands, feeling extremely relieved.
Although he was the Son of Heaven, he had lived in a treacherous palace since childhood. He had to learn to scheme against the people and things around him. When he grew up, assassinations continued to occur frequently.
Once, he was stranded in the forest and thought he was doomed to die, but he was saved by the fox. The fox was innocent and knew nothing about the world, so she took good care of him and even fought with a tiger for medicinal herbs.
At that time, Emperor Rui had never seen such a pure person. Every frown and smile of that fox was deeply imprinted in his heart, so he brought her back to the palace. The environment in the deep palace forced her to learn to protect herself and the people around her. She helped him ascend the throne all the way, but the smile on her face became less and less.
Emperor Rui knew why, but he couldn't let her go and kept her by his side willfully.
Until one day, he favored other concubines in the palace and she was poisoned. So she left without leaving anything behind.
And his two sons were born for various reasons, so there was no such thing as father-son affection. Now, Tan Yuan's short words made Emperor Rui deeply moved.
"In three days, my father will send someone to take you back to the palace."
Tan Yuan, no, now it should be Zhou Jingshi, nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that Emperor Rui was still worried, Yin Li said, "Don't worry, I will protect the inheritance."
Emperor Rui nodded, and left with a group of people, leaving five new dragon guards hiding in the dark.
After he left, Yin Li asked Zhou Jingshi, "Heritage, why did you suddenly decide to go home and inherit the throne?"
Zhou Jingshi didn't explain, he just touched Yin Li's head and said, "Don't you like it?"
"No, I support you in whatever you do."
"That's fine." He just didn't want to let her protect him all her life in a cowardly way, nor did he want them to live in fear all their lives. He hoped that she could live a stable life.
As for the tragic end of his father and mother, he is not Emperor Rui, and Yinli is not his mother. He firmly believes that he and Yinli will not end up like them.
…
The news that Emperor Rui had privately visited Zhou Jingshi's yard and stayed there for a whole night was spread to the ears of those who were interested almost as soon as Emperor Rui left.
And judging from Emperor Rui’s good mood, it is not difficult to see that the eldest prince is probably coming back.
As for Crown Prince Zhou Jingnian, for some unknown reason, he suddenly stopped his assassination plan. This made Zhou Jingkong very uncomfortable. He was about to find Jiang Qingyan to ask about the situation, but a servant came to report that Concubine Su had a miscarriage.
"How could she suddenly have a miscarriage?" This child was very important. Zhou Jingkong's expectations for him exceeded those of a father for his son, and he was more concerned about what role this son could play in the fight for the throne.
In Fuqu Courtyard, Zhou Jingkong lost his temper.
The maids and old women knelt on the ground. The doctor beside them had already examined the matter and said, "Your Highness, it was the lily and lotus seed soup that the queen had this afternoon. There is a medicinal ingredient in it. It is colorless and tasteless and harmless to the human body, but pregnant women must not touch it. If they do, they will have a miscarriage."
"Investigate, immediately investigate who did it. If you can't find out, all the people involved will be dealt with!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
Zhou Jingkong was already feeling annoyed, and became even more annoyed when he heard the chattering. He waved his hand and asked someone to drag all these people away.
After he had lost his temper, he walked into the inner room.
A pale woman was lying on the pear wood bed, looking at the bed curtains with her eyes blank and unfocused.
"Jinse." Zhou Jingkong softened, sat down beside the bed, and held Su Jinse's hand: "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter, and I will never let our child disappear in such an unclear way."
Su Jinse came back to her senses and looked at Zhou Jingkong. She opened her mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Qingyan did it."
"Jinse, what are you talking about?"
"She did it." Su Jinse's expression was a little excited. "It was her, she did it!"
Zhou Jingkong quickly held her down: "Jinse, don't talk nonsense, Qingyan would never do such a thing."
"So, you don't believe me... do you?"
Zhou Jingkong smoothed her messy hair and said, "Jinse, you just had a miscarriage. Don't think too much. Leave these things to me. You should have a good rest."
Having said that, Zhou Jingkong stood up, told the servants to take good care of Su Jinse, and left.
Su Jinse smiled, and tears welled up in her eyes. After a moment, a sinister look flashed across her eyes: "Jiang Qingyan, you harmed my child, I will make you pay the price."
She did not have any evidence that Jiang Qingyan did it, but when they met before, Jiang Qingyan said to her: Don't think that everything will be fine once you have a child, being able to give birth to a child is a real skill.
It hasn't been so long and her child is gone. Who else could it be if not her? !
