Chapter 539
Within the Imperial Palace, the Emperor looked at the paper in his hand and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he instructed Xu Li in a soft voice,
"Go and invite Grand Princess Yi De over.
"
"Yes, your servant will go now.
"
When Grand Princess Yi De entered the hall and saw the expression on the emperor's face, her heart was filled with worry.
"What happened to the emperor?
"
"Sister royal, take a look at this imperial report.
"
Grand Princess Yi De took the paper, glanced at it, and tightly knitted his eyebrows.
"Those beggars are the Jin Emperor's men …
"
"Royal Sis, I really didn't think that Third Bro would …
"
"He …
" Upon seeing Grand Princess Yi De, the taut string in the emperor's heart suddenly snapped. His entire being instantly aged, supporting himself on the table with his face turning green.
Grand Princess Yi De hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor, then turned to instruct Xu Li.
"What are you standing there foolishly for? Why aren't you going to call the imperial physician?
"
"Yes.
"
Xu Li hastily invited the imperial physician over. It had been more than two hours since he'd had his treatment and medicine done. Grand Princess Yi De sat by the side of the bed, looking at the sallow emperor, his face filled with worry.
"Your majesty, your children are not worthy. You don't even know how to make Xu Li call him an imperial physician? If I do not enter the palace today, you will …
Was he just going to wait and see? The Great Desolate War needs you, and all the people in the world need you even more. Even if it's for the sake of the common people, the Emperor can't do that.
"
The emperor closed his eyes and pounded his chest.
"Sister royal, isn't it too much of a failure for me?
"
"Why would the emperor think that?
"At that time, there were many aristocratic families in the Great Lei Empire, and the decline of imperial power caused severe internal consumption. The Emperor destroyed all six aristocratic families along the way and consolidated the imperial power, causing the Great Lei Empire to grow to this day and become prosperous. Now, which citizen doesn't praise you as an enlightened ruler, so how could you fail?
" I have always invited all the master teachers of the world to wholeheartedly teach the princes and princes, but look, my lord, I am relying on the arrogance of the Li family. I have always invited all the master masters of the world to wholeheartedly teach the princes, but look, my lord, I am relying on the arrogance of the Li family.
It came from his hand, and he didn't care about the benefits of the imperial court at all. He was only thinking about himself, royal sister, this case of begging for money was the work of Prince Jin, he used this method to transport the tax money to the capital …
"Cough cough …
"
"Please calm your anger, your majesty. Hurry up and drink some water to calm down.
" Grand Princess Yi De brought him some warm water to drink, then gently patted his back.
"Royal sister, I feel a chill in my heart …
"
"Even if Jun Yu and Jun Jin fall short, wouldn't there still be Jun Yu and Jun Yue?
" Jun Yu's personality was too straightforward. Her courage was lacking due to her lack of ingenuity. She could be the commander of the troops, but it was difficult for her to take on a country. As for Jun Yue, he... If he had not been allowed to live alone in the Cold Palace for 12 years, if he had not been sent to the west of Guangdong for seven or eight years, his character might not have been biased at all …
So, sister. It is only now that I realize that none of my sons are able to take on any big responsibilities! royal sister, what should I do?
"
"The emperor gritted his teeth, his face filled with grief.
" His Majesty was too pessimistic. Although Jun Mo Xie's actions were somewhat biased, but if he were to properly teach him, then he would be able to accomplish anything. Jun Yu's personality was straightforward, but she knew how to be a good person. She had entrusted him with the job well. Jun Jin's personality was eccentric, and being a plank wasn't out of danger. As for Jun Yue, there was no saving him.
Although his personality was cold and he didn't say it out loud, in his heart, he was particularly concerned about family and relationships. He was also a good kid.
"Since they are currently unsuitable to carry out such a heavy responsibility, the Emperor should take good care of his body and carefully guide the few princes in choosing the most suitable candidate.
" Hearing this, the dejected emperor felt slightly better,
"My royal sister, I'm afraid that Jun Jin's character will not change. Although I have concerns about the prestige of the royal family and I don't want to announce the truth about the River Break case to the world, I can't shield Prince Jin any longer. When he returns, I will lock him up in the Ministry of Work.
There will be no more mercy for him, and as for the King, I —
"
" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
"Your majesty,
" Princess Yi De interrupted him,
"You have always had a sense of propriety when it came to matters of the imperial court. As the Grand Princess, I can't help you with that.
" Your majesty,
"Princess Yi De interrupted him,
" You have always had a sense of propriety when it came to matters of the imperial court.
Sensing the hidden intentions in Grand Princess Yi De's words, the Emperor laughed bitterly.
"Royal sister, you are always like this. As your brother and sister, no matter who I suspect, I won't suspect you.
"
"I know what the Emperor is thinking, but I still need to pay attention. Even the imperial harem cannot interfere in this matter, much less me, the Grand Princess.
" After venting his anger, the emperor's mood improved a lot,
"Big sister, I know you don't like to live in the palace, but now that my body is in a bad condition, I feel that there are a lot of things I can't do. I'll bring Yan Han and Yao'er to live in Jade Flower Hall.
"Come, I have some words in my heart that are convenient to say to royal sister.
"
"Alright.
" Grand Princess Yide agreed.
The emperor took off the dragon pendant in his hand and gently placed it in front of Grand Princess Yi De.
"Big Sister, after so many years, I once again used the Shadow Squad.
"
The look in Eldest Princess Yi's eyes slightly trembled.
"I believe that the Emperor has his own sense of propriety.
"
Holding the dragon pendant, the emperor's eyes turned red,
"The last time I used it was to kill the six noble families to avenge Rou-Er. This time, I used it to investigate my own son. I feel heartache, my royal sister.
"
"Your majesty, no matter how much you say it, it is useless. I just want to tell you one thing. The Great Desolate War Institution still needs you.
" The emperor was startled and nodded heavily.
"Alright, I understand. But my royal sister, my royal sister was the one who built the Shadow Squad. After you personally handed it over to me, you repeatedly warned me that the Shadow Squad was too dangerous to be used often. But now, with my age, I can't stop a few of them.
"In the struggle between princes, the only way to intimidate the entire imperial government is through the use of this Blood Blade. However, I was worried that my authority was too great and that I would end up being muddled. I decided to kill myself out of suspicion, so I asked royal sister to retract the dragon pendant.
"
"Your majesty, you absolutely cannot.
"
"… …
" The Grand Princess Yi De hurriedly shook her head.
"Sister, don't tell me that you're not even willing to help me anymore?
" The emperor held Grand Princess Yi De's hand, his eyes filled with tears.
"Back then, when my royal sister held my hand, did you wish to see the world?
" I answer, yes! My royal sister will definitely give it her all to protect me as I ascend to the throne! Finally, the Emperor
Elder sister has fulfilled her promise, but withdrew swiftly and valiantly, handing over the power in her hands to me in an instant without a shred of hesitation or reluctance. How much trust did she have in me?
"For so many years, I have been moved to remember your kindness, my royal sister …
"
Grand Princess Yi De's face was a bit dazed.
"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. What has the Emperor said about those ancient events?
"
"Sister, help me one more time. I have been working hard my whole life for this big time. Even if I'm going to die, I have to cultivate a qualified heir before I die. I can't let this hard-earned big time be ruined by unworthy descendants!
"
Grand Princess Yi De looked at the dragon pendant in the Emperor's hands, and slowly extended her hand to receive it.
"Alright, I agree.
"
The emperor was elated.
"Thank you, royal sister.
"
"Between you and me, brother and sister, there is no need to thank each other.
"
"Alright.
