The emperor mentioned by Cheng Xin got out of the court, and felt his steps were weak and weak, so he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the inner official next to him helped him in time.

Even so, the inner official was so scared that he was no longer looking at him and shouted, "Come on, please call the imperial physician."

The emperor calmed down and waited for his dizziness to retreat, and waved his hand: "No need, let's go to the moon palace."

So, the group came to the outside of Zhuyue Palace in a mighty manner.

The emperor detained the rest of the palace maids and officials, and only brought their close-fitting father-in-law into the room.

The news soon reached the Queen's harem.

The queen was reciting scriptures in front of the Buddha. When she heard this, she paused slightly in her hand. She opened her eyes and looked up at the Buddha statue in front of her, and murmured in a low voice: "The Buddha said that sentient beings came to plant, and the cause and effect will still be born. Today's result is the cause of planting that day?"

"Empress, the third prince is still locked in the clan's mansion. Seeing that the emperor made an exception today and went to Zhuyue Palace, it may be related to the new crown prince's choice." The nanny beside the queen was worried in her eyebrows.

The queen glanced at the Buddha statue's compassionate eyes, closed her eyes and opened her eyes again, and was already determined.

She asked the nanny beside her to come over and whispered a few words in her ear.

When the nanny heard this, she was shocked: "Empress, how can this be done?"

"There is no other way to do it now." When he said this, the queen straightened her spine, closed her eyes again, and turned the Buddhist beads in her hand.

At the same time, Shufei also received news.

"What did you say? Where did the emperor go to at this time?"

The palace maid who came to spread the news said: "What I saw with my own eyes, the imperial palace maids are still guarding outside Zhuyue Palace."

"You go down first."

The palace maid was about to leave, but was called by Shufei again: "You go and find the second prince. Just say that this concubine has something urgent to discuss."

"yes!"

Zhuyue Palace is the place where a cold palace is located in the palace and the place where Meng Concubine, the biological mother of the eldest prince Chu Chenjin, lives.

For more than ten years, the emperor only went to Zhuyue Palace on the full moon night of the fifteenth month, never stayed overnight, and only stayed in it for a while. The concubines in the palace knew about this, but no one dared to mention Zhuyue Palace and Mengfei before the emperor, and even the queen could not.

This is the first time I heard that the emperor went to the palace after the morning court. No wonder the concubines were worried.

The emperor stopped outside the hall for a long time until the music of the piano was over, and he entered alone with a satisfied expression.

"I never thought that there was another chance to hear you play the piano."

The emperor made a sound, and the person sitting by the window was suddenly shocked. The teacup at his hand was knocked to the ground, making a harsh "clang" sound.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

But I saw the woman by the window wearing thin clothes, with a fair face and no makeup on her face, but she had a beautiful face. The palace maids beside her hurriedly got up and bowed their heads, not daring to speak.

"Concubine Meng, I just miss you. Come and see you." The emperor looked at the woman in front of him, wanting to step forward, but stopped in the woman's vigilant eyes.

"You go down."

Upon hearing this, the palace maid was as if she had received a general amnesty, and then quickly retreated.

"The emperor broke his promise." Concubine Meng's eyes were cold and there was a hint of undetectable anger.

The emperor let out a deep breath and sat down on the chair beside him: "The day before yesterday, the imperial physician came to check my pulse, and his words were quite inexhaustible. He only told the truth under my threat. He said, I am afraid that I will not have much time..."

Meng Fei played the fingertips, and then stroked the strings, making a crisp sound.

After a moment, she said, "The emperor is the body of a real dragon and will live forever. Don't say that."

"Haha." The emperor laughed: "I also want to live a hundred years old, but God is not good at doing anything good. In fact, my life should have been gone long ago. Concubine Meng saved me. For more than ten years, I have always wanted to repay you for favors... Now that Jin'er has grown up, I want to pass the throne to him, I wonder what you mean by what you want?"

Meng Fei seemed to have a storm in her eyes, and her steady breathing became rapid, and she shouted anxiously: "No! No!"

In the dark, I heard that the emperor was about to spread Chu Chenjin, who was located in him, was already shocked in his heart. But I didn't expect that Concubine Meng's words made him even more shocked like thunder.

How could his mother not want him to inherit the throne?

"But this is what I promised you back then."

"But the emperor also promised to let Jin'er make a decision. If he doesn't want this throne, you won't force him."

"How do you know Jin'er doesn't want it?"

Concubine Meng's eyebrows and eyes cold: "How do you know he wants it?"

"I have watched coldly over the years and found that Jin'er has been talented since childhood, has good reading, and has also mastered martial arts very well. I know his abilities, but outsiders don't know why, but he has known since he was a child to keep his low profile and accumulate strength."

When talking about Chu Chenjin, Concubine Meng's eyebrows and eyes softened a lot: "That's why Jin'er knew that her mother was just a concubine in a cold palace. If he was arrogant, he would only become a pawn for the regime to seize power in the harem.

He has been trapped in this deep palace for many years, and I wish he could live freely. If you still remember what you said to me back then, please let him go and don't let him be trapped in this cage forever."

"I'm afraid it's too late." The emperor walked forward: "No one knows his son is better than his mother. Have you not seen his ambition for the throne?"

"No, no. I will make it clear to him."

"How do you tell him? Tell him that the throne is his; tell him that all your complaints over the years are all about me wanting me to save him a life? Or do you want to tell him that he is not my flesh and cannot inherit my throne?"

As soon as the words fell, a dull sound came from the darkness.

"Who!" The emperor's eyes swept sharply to that place.

After a moment of silence behind the screen, footsteps finally sounded.

When they saw the man in black clothes who was reeling from behind the screen, the emperor and Meng Fei both changed their faces.

"Jin'er?"

"Damn it, you actually dare to eavesdrop on me!"

Chu Chenjin had a blank expression on his face. He stared at his mother's mother in a daze and said, "Mother, what does the father say mean? What does it mean that a child is not his flesh and blood?"

Concubine Meng was shocked: "Jin'er, you heard it wrong! The emperor just now-"

"The boy can hear it clearly." Chu Chenjin interrupted her and looked at the emperor again: "Father, I am not your flesh and blood, who is it?"

The emperor was choked and coughed suddenly.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Concubine Meng quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over. After drinking it, the emperor's face calmed down slightly.

"You can pretend that you didn't hear what you said just now. You just need to know that I want to pass on the throne to you, and you will be the crown prince in the future. After a hundred years, you will be the king of Tianchu and the lord of a country."
