Dongming Ziyu's heart trembled. Shangguan Ruoli's shares in Fumantang and Fumanlou were not made public.

Apparently, the emperor was worried about Lao Wu and had checked Fumantang and Fumanlou.

He said calmly: "Li'er has unique insights into food and jewelry. It happened that Lao Wu wanted to open a restaurant and jewelry shop, so Li'er became a shareholder and promoted the food and jewelry he came up with."

The emperor nodded slightly, "It's okay to make money together. However, you have to be careful. After all, there are differences between men and women. There are already rumors inside and outside the palace."

If Concubine De was not clever enough to stop the rumors in time, the royal family would have lost all face.

Dongming Ziyu's pupils shrank, "Yes, I believe in the character of Li'er and Lao Wu. However, Lao Wu has reached his age, so we should arrange for a nanny and a personal palace maid."

He has been too busy recently. Did he neglect something? Someone actually ruined Li'er's reputation. He was simply seeking death!

Emperor Dongming nodded and said: "I will remind Concubine Shu about this matter. Lao Wu told me that he wants to go to Nan'an County with you to learn navigation skills from pirates, and also has a whimsical idea of ​​opening up maritime trade routes. What do you think of this matter?

look?"

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "Judging from the news and weapons sent by Nan'an County, the pirates are stronger than our Dongming. If we can trade with them, we can learn from each other's strengths and make our Dongming stronger. Secondly, we can learn from each other's strengths and offset our weaknesses.

Then the pirates can exchange their country's things for my Dongming's things, and they won't insist on looting."

The emperor shook his head slightly, "You think too simply, are you not afraid of attracting wolves into your house?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "I have also thought about this problem. We can imitate the trading city in Mozhen."

The emperor's eyes lit up, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Dongming Ziyu continued: "According to the investigation, the pirates settled on an island in the sea. We can attack that island and send troops to station it as a trading island for both sides. Merchants from both sides trade on the island and prevent the pirates from approaching.

The land along my eastern coast."

"Haha! Okay!" The emperor laughed loudly after hearing this.

Nothing could make him happier than the expansion of Dongming's territory. He even had the ambition to unify Canglan Continent.

Thinking of this, he stopped laughing and said seriously: "The manufacturing technology of fire guns and artillery must be kept secret, at least it cannot be spread from us to Nanyun, Xirong and Beiling."

With this kind of artifact, the unification of Canglan Continent is just around the corner!

Thinking about it, his eyes became hot.

"Yeah!" Suddenly, the emperor groaned and covered his chest.

Dongming Ziyu immediately stood up from his chair and asked solemnly: "Father! What's wrong with you?"

The emperor's face turned pale with pain. This feeling was all too familiar, "It's the zombie gu! That bastard gave me the zombie gu!"

He knew that he could no longer hide his physical condition, so he directly said that King Li had given him poison and poison, but his stupidity of practicing the art of immortality was kept a secret.

Dongming Ziyu called out in a deep voice: "Imperial doctor!"

The imperial doctor is on call at any time. Eunuch Zheng rushed in with the imperial doctor. When he saw the emperor's appearance, he knew that the zombie poison had taken effect.

"You guys save the emperor, and I will catch the person who controls the Gu!" Dongming Ziyu rushed out of the imperial study. He had already given several wolf dogs domesticated in the house to Gu Lingran. How could there be zombies approaching the emperor?

Gu Lingran was patrolling around the imperial study with his royal guards and wolf dogs. When he saw Dongming Ziyu, he stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

Dongming Ziyu said coldly and solemnly: "What's going on? The emperor's poison has struck again!"

Gu Lingran's expression turned serious and he looked at the calm wolf-dog, "It seems that the one who came is not a zombie, or the other party has concealed its scent."

He looked at the sky. It was broad daylight, and the sun was blazing in the sky. The sun was so bright that it made him dizzy.

Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "It's a human being!"

Gu Lingran immediately ordered, "Arrest all the people around the Imperial Study Room and search them. If you have a jade whistle, arrest them directly."

So, with the imperial study as the center, they searched the area like a carpet and arrested everyone they saw.

This trick was very effective, and the emperor soon felt no pain.

The emperor was sweating coldly and his eyes were fierce.

He was originally afraid of hurting his body and did not dare to lure the zombie Gu out. He thought that as long as he controlled the reproduction of the poisonous insects and prevented those who could control the zombie Gu from approaching, he would be fine.

Now it seems that this zombie Gu can kill him at any time. There are people from King Li or people from the black-robed ancestor in this palace!

The feeling of having his life in the hands of others was very unpleasant, and having a bug in his body that made him miserable at any time also made it difficult for him to sleep or eat well.

He closed his eyes and said weakly: "Invite King Xuan here!"

After a while, Dongming Ziyu was invited over and asked coldly: "Father, are you okay?"

The emperor gasped for a while, then gathered the strength to speak, and said decisively: "I want to ask Dr. Xia and Dr. Bai to lure out the worms. To prevent any unexpected events, I will entrust the country to you!"

The imperial doctors and eunuchs present held their breaths. Is the emperor leaving his last words?

Does this mean that the emperor will restore King Xuan to his position as crown prince, or that the emperor will directly let King Xuan ascend the throne?

Dongming Ziyu frowned and said calmly: "I don't dare! I ask my father to take back my promise! I have a congenital heart disease and will lose my life at any time. I am afraid that I will fail my father's trust!"

Everyone opened their mouths in shock. Is there something wrong with their ears?

King Xuan actually refused the emperor’s throne!

This is what the other princes are trying to get! Is there something wrong with King Xuan’s brain?

Emperor Dongming now somewhat believes that Dongming Ziyu really has no interest in the throne, and he is still opposed at this time.

At this time, he felt a little angry in his heart, complaining that Dongming Ziyu didn't know how to praise him. He offered the supreme position with both hands, but Dongming Ziyu actually despised it!

So, he said angrily: "Now, no one can stabilize the situation except you!"

Dongming Ziyu still said coldly: "Father, I can trust the medical skills of Doctor Xia and Doctor Bai. Besides, my father is a good person and has a real dragon to protect him, so he will be fine."

The emperor is happy to hear this. This son is getting better and better at talking.

His expression softened a little, and he said: "In case something unexpected happens to me, I still have to rely on you to decide the outcome of the court. Dongming can't be chaotic! As for who sits on the dragon throne, I... I can't care about it even if I close my eyes."

Dongming Ziyu solemnly said: "Father, don't worry, I am also your son. I am responsible for the stability of Dongming. However, I also ask my father to make a secret edict to select the successor from the other emperor's younger brothers. I am your son."

When the time comes, I will know who to help.”

He knew in his heart that Bai Qingqing and Xia Yuyi had already conducted many experiments with the fake Taoist priests in the dungeon of Prince Xuan's Mansion, and there was no problem in safely removing the zombie poison.

He would not be so stupid as to agree at this time. After the emperor is safe, he will definitely be more careful about him.

The emperor was actually very satisfied with Dongming Ziyu's performance, and his eyes softened, "Okay, I will draw up the edict of succession, and you will be the regent for five years! Prepare the pen and ink!"

This is about to draw up a will!
Chapter completed!
