"Xiao Wu, what do you mean?"
When Duan Rongyin saw what was in the brocade box, his face suddenly changed and he looked at his fifth brother with a quick breath.
He has always been dignified and elegant, with a humble and easy-going smile on his lips.
But at this moment, his eyes were as cold as an eagle staring at its prey.
It is said that when Concubine Yue gave birth to the fifth prince, Emperor Yan, who loved her almost madly, gave her a blank imperial edict on the spot.
Emperor Yan personally wrote the title and affixed the imperial seal.
This is an imperial promise.
No matter what Concubine Yue and her son want in the future, Emperor Yan is willing to give it to them.
Although this imperial edict is blank, its weight is comparable to the mountains, rivers and the universe.
It carries the emperor's most passionate love for his beloved and gives a concubine the power of life and death.
Such a thunderous thing, such a promise, what it meant to Emperor Yan at that time is self-evident.
However, when all the concubines in the harem heard about this, they regarded Concubine Yue and her son as thorns in their flesh and eyes.
However, the king's favor was as scorching as the sun, and he gave almost all the glory and privileges to Concubine Yue.
It is no exaggeration to say that among thousands of beauties, she is the only one who enjoys the favor of the emperor.
Even as the empress dowager, she had to be humble in front of Concubine Yue.
But Concubine Yue never took out the imperial edict.
Because of this incident, the queen couldn't sleep day and night for several years.
Later, Concubine Yue died suddenly.
The entire Guifu Palace was massacred in blood and completely destroyed in a fire.
Although Emperor Yan later rebuilt Guifu Palace in memory of his beloved, Prince Su never set foot in Guifu Palace.
However, I heard that the blank imperial edict had long since disappeared along with Concubine Yue in the fire.
However, the Empress and the Crown Prince have been feeling uncomfortable about the blank imperial edict for many years, and their doubts have never been dispelled, so they have secretly and frantically tried to probe the Prince Su's Mansion countless times over the years.
But the imperial edict was never found.
In the court, he would look for opportunities to suppress Prince Su.
Duan Rongshi had faced all kinds of crazy behaviors of the mother and son, and even when the crown prince was deposed, he never took the opportunity to take out this imperial edict.
Finally, the Queen and the Crown Prince gradually let down their guard and suspicion.
Today, he took it out easily!
How could the Queen and the Crown Prince not panic?
Faced with this sudden change, both of them looked as if they wanted to devour Duan Rongshi on the spot!
Emperor Yan was also shocked when he saw what he took out.
"Get down!"
He mustered up all his strength and gave an order.
The prince suppressed his anger and still looked like a refined scholar: "Xiaowu, did you hear that? Father asked you to leave."
"You are such a disappointment."
"Over the years you've been in the Dali Temple, even though you've been reckless and violent, committing many cruel acts, your father has indulged and doted on you. I never thought you would take out this thing when your father is ill."
"what you up to?"
"You are forcing your father's will, regardless of his health. What is your goal?"
Emperor Yan: "Prince, I want you to go down!"
"And the Queen, all of you, get out!"
Emperor Yan became furious and grabbed the curtain and pulled it down with force.
The curtain collapsed instantly under the force and fell on the queen's head.
If the palace maid beside her had not rushed forward to stand in front of the queen, the queen would have been in a more embarrassing situation than she was now.
The curtain hung on her face, messing up her makeup and the red hairpin on her head.
For a moment, where was the usual dignity and nobility?
Both Empress Gao and the Crown Prince looked extremely embarrassed, and they both reluctantly retreated in a hurry.
As soon as she left the hall, the queen quickly winked at Wang He.
Wang He lowered his eyelids and stared at the young eunuch beside him.
However, Emperor Yan summoned the imperial guards.
They were told to guard the Zichen Palace tightly, inside and out, and not to allow anyone to hear what was happening inside.
Emperor Yan stared at his son who was kneeling on the ground in his royal robes.
His eyes were as cold as a knife.
It fell mercilessly on Duan Rongshi. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Hand it over to me."
Duan Rongshi respectfully took out the imperial edict and handed it to Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan's hands were shaking as he tried to unfold it, but he seemed to have no courage at all.
Finally, he slammed the rolled-up imperial edict heavily on the bed.
Twenty-two years...
It has been twenty-two years since this imperial edict was issued.
His Fu Ya is hidden really well.
He thought that this imperial edict and this promise had long gone with her.
But she didn't expect that she had actually left a way out for her son.
There was a hint of murderous intent in Emperor Yan's eyes.
He held the imperial edict tightly in his hand and struggled in his heart hundreds of times.
Kill him!
The country will be stable.
But his Fu Ya...
How could he let down his Fu Ya again?
If we don't kill him, what does he want?
This son is now just a knife in his hand.
How can a knife covet the throne?
He should make his knife well, so that he can enjoy power and glory for the rest of his life without worries.
He had already arranged a way out for him.
What is he still dreaming about now?
"What... do you want?"
"Why not, let me listen first."
Duan Rongshi lowered his eyes: "Father, what do you think your son wants?"
After saying this, he slowly raised his head and looked towards Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan's eyes trembled violently.
He rarely summoned his son.
Because he looks so much like his Fu Ya.
