After all, the inheritance of a country's monarch's offspring is related to the stability of the country and its development for generations to come, which is a top priority.
However, the most worrying thing is that His Majesty still has no children, which makes the ministers worried.
Every time he went to court, there would always be ministers who would tactfully remind the emperor to make plans to adopt a child early, but the emperor always perfunctorily brushed it off and did not really take it to heart.
For a time, various opinions emerged in the court and debates continued.
The emperor didn't care much, but his eyes kept turning to Jiang Heng. This man looked well-dressed, but he turned out to be a beast in human form.
The ministers gradually lowered their voices, and many of them followed the emperor's gaze and looked at Jiang Heng.
The emperor's expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, so they couldn't guess what it meant.
After leaving the court, the emperor got the information from Jin Su and learned about Jiang Rongxi's experience over the years.
Thinking of the dream he had last night, he changed into casual clothes and left the palace with his men.
But after waiting outside the wall for a long time, no one came out. He wanted to go in and take a look several times, but was stopped by the guards around him.
The news of his leaving the palace must not be made known to anyone, in order to ensure his safety.
The emperor thought he might be late, so he took his men to the courtyard where Jiang Rongxi used to keep cats. Except for the tied little white cat, there was no sign of Jiang Rongxi.
Unable to see anyone, he finally returned to the palace.
But just as he returned, he was called over by the empress dowager. There were many unopened scrolls on the empress dowager's desk. Needless to say, there must be portraits of noble ladies from various aristocratic families.
"Huang'er, are you going out again today?"
"I have something to do outside."
The Queen Mother did not ask any further questions. After he finished looking at the portrait and left, she asked someone to find the leader of the secret guards around the emperor. The emperor's whereabouts were confidential. Although the secret guard knew that she was the Queen Mother, he did not tell the Queen Mother about what was happening outside the palace for the sake of Her Majesty.
He has only one master, and even though the Queen Mother is His Majesty's mother, he will not reveal His Majesty's whereabouts casually.
The Empress Dowager couldn't get anything out of him, so she sent people to follow the Emperor and investigate.
.
And Rong Xi had been haunted for three consecutive nights.
The first night was naturally the scene of her falling from the wall, the second night was the scene of him feeding the little white cat in the yard, and the third night was the scene of her bringing the man directly to her house.
Although I still pretended not to see him, I avoided him when bathing and changing clothes.
The emperor had no idea that all this was caused by the system. From the second night when he dreamed of Jiang Rongxi, he thought he was obsessed with this woman.
So he went out of the palace again that day, thinking that he would still not see anyone. But as soon as he arrived, he saw a head popping out from the wall.
He was very sure that this person was Jiang Rongxi, so he walked over quietly without saying a word.
He didn't know if it was because of the dream or some other reason, but now he just wanted to see her when she came down.
As a result, just as he walked over, Rong Xi lost his footing and fell down.
Without hesitation, he stretched out his arm and caught the falling man steadily.
I couldn't help but feel lucky in my heart: "Fortunately, I arrived here in time today, otherwise if she fell from such a high place, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.
The woman in his arms was very light and her body was soft. He thought of the way she took off her clothes in the dream. Although he only saw her taking off her outer shirt at that time, the white skin on her neck was still as eye-catching as it is now.
Moreover, he seemed to smell that refreshing fragrance again. This fragrance was elegant, fresh and intoxicating. It was not strong and pungent, but gave people a just right sense of comfort, as if it could soothe his inner irritability and anxiety.
This unique fragrance is just like her, sweet, pleasant, soft and sticky, making people want to get closer and closer.
Rong Xi also knew from the beginning that he had come here, so this fall was naturally intentional on her part.
When the emperor saw the fear-filled face of the woman in his arms, he knew she was terrified.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Rong Xi was stunned at first, then immediately jumped off him and asked in a low voice, "Have we met somewhere before?"
…
The emperor saw that she was not pretending and seemed to have truly forgotten him. He felt inexplicably angry, but he still patiently replied: "Have you forgotten? You saved me last time."
"You are the assassin."
…
The emperor then remembered that he had not told her her name.
"I'm not an assassin. I was just injured."
"Then why are you here? Are you being hunted again?"
emperor:"……"
Although he was speechless, he changed his mind and nodded.
"No way, what did you do? Why are you being hunted again? Are you injured now?"
"No, it's just that my last injury hasn't healed yet."
He didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to show weakness and wanted to know what she would do after knowing his situation.
"Tsk tsk tsk, uncle you are really amazing."
"What did you call me? Uncle!"
Rong Xi looked stunned, as if she had called him the wrong name. She tentatively called out, "Uncle?"
The emperor's face turned green. How could she call him "uncle" in such a state?
The secret guard who was hiding in the dark and accidentally heard it almost laughed out loud, and almost bit his lips for fear of being discovered by his master.
"You don't have to call me that. My name is Ji... Ji..."
"You can't even remember your own name?"
"How is that possible? My name is Ji Ruan."
"Surname Ji?"
Rong Xi squinted his eyes and looked at him, getting closer and closer. "He can't be a royal relative, right? This Ji is the royal surname."
The emperor thought that this girl was not stupid and knew that Ji was the royal surname, but he did not intend to admit it.
"You heard wrong, it's Ji, Ji Ru'an."
"Oh, I thought you were some royal relative. Well, thank you for saving me. I'll take my leave now. See you again in the martial arts world."
As he said this, he made a farewell gesture with his hand.
"Miss Jiang, can I borrow your place to rest for a while?"
"No, I'm a girl in the boudoir. What will happen if someone sees me? Besides, I..."
"I'll pay."
Rong Xi immediately stopped talking. "How much are you going to pay?"
"Then how much do you want?"
"Can you get as much as you want?"
"right!"
Rong Xi looked him up and down. The material of his clothes was quite good and he looked like a rich man. In that case, don't blame her for being cruel.
The emperor thought she was going to ask for a big price, but he saw her just extending her index finger.
"This is?"
"One hundred taels, not a cent less."
