I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 314 The Lost King Yu

It has to be said that Lu Fang's work efficiency is indeed very high, and soon, the news that the emperor will temporarily live in Ganlu Palace spread, which aroused discussions among the officials.

In the Ministry of Rites, I saw an official put down the brush in his hand. After looking around for a week, he saw that no one was paying attention. He immediately lowered his voice and asked his colleagues beside him.

"Tell me, is the news that is spreading from the palace right now true?"

"Does it need to be said, the news that spreads from the palace, which time is not true!"

"I also heard that the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where His Majesty is currently living, has collapsed on the top due to years of disrepair, and many bricks and tiles fell down, almost hitting His Majesty!"

"Ah, what, now the Ministry of Industry is going to suffer!"

"Hmph, those guys from the Ministry of Industry are earning a lot of money. If you want me to say, they should have been dealt with long ago!"

At this moment, I saw Li Chunfang walking in with her hands behind her back, while the group of officials who were having a heated conversation earlier all fell silent and continued to busy with the affairs at hand.

Li Chunfang looked around and saw nothing unusual, so she turned and left the place.

After he left, the group of officials resumed the topic just now, chatting in full swing.

Unexpectedly, Li Chunfang did not go far away, and Li Chunfang heard every word of the topics that this group of officials talked about.

"Hmph, these guys have been talking for a long time, but none of them got to the point!"

After Li Chunfang finished speaking, she shook her head helplessly and left the place immediately.

In his opinion, gossip from the palace is generally highly credible, while the vast majority of people only stay on the surface without touching the deeper layers.

Li Chunfang felt that the gossip that the emperor will be staying in Ganlu Palace for a while now spread from the palace, must have obtained the tacit approval of the emperor himself.

Even, the whole matter was planned by the emperor alone, which is not necessarily the case!
"Is Your Majesty taking this opportunity to announce that the child in the imperial concubine's womb is qualified to inherit the throne?"

"Or maybe..."

Li Chunfang continued to think along this line of thought, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Li Chunfang immediately withdrew her thoughts and warned herself like this.

"Li Chunfang, you don't know anything, you just need to do what you're doing!"

……

The sky gradually dimmed, and at this moment, Jiajing was watching the memorials submitted by the supervisor of ceremonies.

After Jiajing finished reading the last memorial, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to get up and exercise his muscles, Lu Fang stepped forward at the right time and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, should you..."

After being reminded by Lu Fang, Jiajing finally came to his senses, got up from his seat, and immediately ordered.

"Well, let's go, follow me to Ganlu Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Fang responded, she immediately followed Jiajing's footsteps and walked towards the Ganlu Palace together.

Along the way, Lu Fang seemed quite reserved, as if he wanted to say something to Jiajing, and Jiajing naturally saw what Lu Fang was thinking, and immediately asked.

"Lu Fang, do you have anything to say to me?"

Seeing that the emperor noticed his strangeness, Lu Fang stopped immediately, her tone full of sincerity.

"What I want to say is that I hope His Majesty will take good care of the dragon's body while he is busy with state affairs!"

Jiajing was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly.

"Don't worry, I know my body well!"

In Ganlu Palace, Imperial Concubine Shen seemed quite anxious and restless, pacing in the room non-stop.

Afterwards, he summoned his personal maid and ordered so.

"Myolie, go and see again, why hasn't His Majesty come here yet?"

"Yes, madam!"

Seeing this, the personal maid of the imperial concubine Shen had no choice but to respond rather helplessly.

Before that, she had gone back and forth at least five times.

"Hope it's the last time!"

The maid prayed in her heart, and immediately left the room.

But soon, she ran into Shen's room with excitement and reported the report.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming!"

Upon hearing the news, Shen could not hide a smile on her face, and immediately asked her personal maid.

"Help me see if your hair is messed up and if your clothes are wrinkled!"

"Yes, madam!"

Upon hearing this, Shen's personal maid immediately stepped forward and began to tidy up Shen's appearance.

At this moment, Jiajing pushed away the room where Shen was staying.

Seeing this, Shen's personal maid hurriedly stood aside respectfully, lowered her head, and said softly.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Jiajing just nodded, and immediately ordered.

"Well, you can go out now."

Seeing this, the personal maid bowed to Jiajing, then turned and left the room, and by the way, closed the door of the room.

After the personal maid left, only Jiajing and Shen Shi were left in the room. With Shen Shi's affectionate gaze, the atmosphere in the air gradually became ambiguous.

Shen Shi seemed to muster up a lot of courage, and saw him come to Jiajing's side, hold his hand tightly, his face was full of shyness, and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, why are you... ah!"

Before Shen could finish her words, Jiajing hugged her into her arms and comforted her lightly.

"I just dealt with some things and wasted time."

"But don't worry, for the next period of time, I will be with you and the child in your womb!"

……

Capital City, Prince Yu's Mansion.

After Zhu Zaixi learned the news from his subordinates, he invited Xu Jie and others to the mansion overnight to discuss countermeasures together.

In the study, Zhu Zaixi forcibly suppressed the panic on his face, then turned his gaze to Xu Jie, and asked.

"Old Xu Ge, how should this matter be resolved now!"

"Father's side will actually..."

Xu Jie had a panoramic view of the expression on Zhu Zaiyi's face, and after sorting out the words in his mind, he spoke comfortingly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, His Majesty's side is just a stopgap measure!"

"Right now, the roof of the Hall of Mental Cultivation has collapsed and many bricks and tiles have fallen. For safety reasons, His Majesty has just moved to Ganlu Palace for a temporary stay."

Xu Jie paused when he said this, and then continued.

"But this does not mean that the child in the womb of the imperial concubine will be able to inherit the throne!"

"Therefore, Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much at the moment."

"After all, you are His Majesty's eldest son now. What you need is to lie dormant and wait for an opportunity in secret."

"One day, you will inherit the throne!"

After hearing Xu Jie's consolation, Zhu Zaixi felt a lot better, and immediately thanked Xu Jie.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu Ge, for resolving Gu's confusion!"

However, what Zhu Zaiyi didn't notice was that the faces of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng beside him were full of solemn expressions.

From Zhang Juzheng's point of view, the meaning contained in it couldn't be more obvious. His Majesty is declaring to everyone that the child in the imperial concubine's belly, if nothing else happens, will inherit the rule!

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhu Zaiku with a trace of sympathy.

Long ago, when King Yu's son was born, most people believed that King Yu would be the next heir apparent of Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, within a very short period of time, news spread that the imperial concubine Shen was pregnant.

And this news also made King Yu's path to be the crown prince full of thorns.

Zhang Juzheng knew that it was time for him to make a choice!
