Jin Cheng threw himself beside the bed and held His Highness's warm hand, feeling particularly reassured.

Chu Heng smiled and touched his head: "I'm also very happy to see you again. This is actually beyond my expectation."

The little devil raised his head and thought of the culprit who had killed him.

He said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, he has betrayed your trust and is not good to you or me. Let's all forget about him in the future and don't give him a son."

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on his lips.

When Zong Zhao woke him up last night, he had already told him the whole truth. He didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was his father.

It was the father who had doted on him since he was a child and took great pains to train him...

Under imperial power, people's hearts are changeable.

But it’s also... human nature.

Chu Heng thought about it. He patted the back of Jin Cheng's hand and said softly: "Okay, let's all forget him, forget the unhappy people and things, and live our own lives."

"Yeah!" Jincheng talked to him about today's imperial examination. At the end, he said, "Your Highness, I know that I am incapable of resisting them now, but you wait for me until I really take power. , I will return the throne to you, you will be the emperor, and I will be your second-rank official!"

There were only two of them in the room.

Jin Cheng was still wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, but what he said was sincere and touching, making people's eyes moist.

Chu Heng was speechless for a moment, and after a long time he sighed helplessly and replied gently: "No need, Jin Cheng. Only if you sit in this position can the world be at peace and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Jin Cheng shook his head and said aggrievedly: "No, I don't want to be the emperor. You are the most suitable person to be the emperor. All of us like you very much. You are the most loved person by the people in the entire Dachu. You are the only one." Succession is what most people hope for.”

Chu Heng asked with a faint smile: "Then do you know that if I take the throne, the first thing I will do is to kill you?"

Jin Cheng paused and quickly shook his head firmly: "No, you won't."

Chu Heng asked again: "People's hearts are fickle, how can you guarantee that I won't do it for a while or for the rest of my life?"

Jin Cheng refused to listen to him no matter what: "No, no, you just can't, you are not that kind of person!"

Chu Heng sighed: "Even if I can't do it, won't my heirs? With you and the Luo family, the people in power will take action against you sooner or later. Jincheng, your uncle is right to worry. And I think, you You are more suitable to sit in this position than me. This was already decided when I taught you the art of the emperor."

As he spoke, he ruffled the little guy's hair and said teasingly, "Do you still think that's something a second-grade official dares to learn?"

Jin Cheng lowered his head and pursed his lips, his face full of dissatisfaction and disobedience. He turned his head, as if as long as he didn't look at him, he would not listen to Chu Heng's words.

A child's tantrums are still cute.

Chu Heng was so soft-hearted that he spoke out: "Speaking of which, three years ago in the Hou Mansion, I heard you call me brother by chance. Although this title is not applicable in the royal family, I think it sounds pretty good. Can you Call me again?"

Jin Cheng's eyes were red, and he also remembered that he had mistaken His Highness for Brother Wen Xiu, but unexpectedly, by some mistake, he shouted correctly.

His Highness is also his brother, his biological brother by blood.

"Brother..." the little devil shouted aggrievedly.

Chu Heng responded and said: "Good boy, I will be a good emperor in the future and complete things for my brother that I failed to do before. Let me be lazy and take a good rest, okay?"

Jin Cheng nodded, then nodded quickly, and made a serious promise: "You have a good rest, I will help you fight, help you rob, and help you take care of all the people in the world!"

While the brothers were getting along warmly, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside.

The eunuchs had no time to report, and they only heard the Crown Princess shouting: "Duke Protector, you broke into the East Palace without permission and disturbed His Highness's rest. What are your intentions?!"

"Trespassing?" Luo Jingfeng said disdainfully, "The new emperor has been established and the prince has been deposed. No one is allowed to live in the East Palace, lest someone has evil intentions and threatens the emperor's safety!"

"How can you slander His Highness with empty words? Stop... don't break in, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

"You still want to fight with me?"

The sound of a guard drawing his sword outside sounded. Jin Cheng and Chu Heng looked at each other, quickly stood up and ran outside.

"Uncle! What are you doing!"

Luo Jingfeng was drawing his sword, but when he saw his eldest nephew coming out, he inserted the sword back properly and put on a smile: "Your Majesty, the title of His Highness the eldest prince has been decided. I will bring someone over to take him to Prince Anding's Mansion."

"Anding Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes!" Luo Jingfeng said with a proud smile, "The title proposed by the Ministry of Rites for the eldest prince is Prince An Ding. I hope that the eldest prince will be honest and do his duty and not have any thoughts that he shouldn't have."

The Crown Princess was very angry when she heard this, and she said angrily: "Duke Protector, don't bully others too much!"

After hearing this, Jin Cheng felt his face was burning. He wanted to return the throne to His Highness, but his uncle thought of such an unpleasant title to humiliate the best His Highness.

He felt that he was also insulted.

Jin Cheng, who had broken his guard, said coldly: "Uncle, as far as I know, the title proposed by the Ministry of Rites needs to be confirmed by the emperor before it can be implemented. I don't agree with this title."

Luo Jingfeng was startled, and his face darkened: "Your Majesty, you are new to the throne and are not familiar with affairs. The ministers and the Ministry of Rites are willing to share the burden for you. It's just a title, and the ministers didn't bother him much. They are already very generous!"

Jincheng's chest rose and fell violently. He suppressed his anger and changed his name to show his determination: "I said I don't agree, I don't agree with this title. Don't you understand, Duke of the Protectorate?"

Luo Jingfeng looked dark and stared at him and asked, "What title does the emperor want to give him?"

Jincheng said: "King Ruining, auspicious and peaceful, the world is peaceful."

Because your highness is here, the world is peaceful.

Luo Jingfeng's face was completely dark: "Do you want him to ride on your neck?"

Jin Cheng was not afraid of him, and still argued: "This is what the people want, uncle, if we are against the people, how can the court be safe?"

"Okay, okay, okay," Luo Jingfeng said three "Okays" in a row, turned around and waved his hands quickly, and said sternly, "Go, send our Ruining King, who is supported by the people, back to his Ruining Palace!"

The Crown Princess screamed: "Stop! What are you doing? His Highness is still recuperating and should not be moved!"

The little devil was also busy stopping people: "Stop! Don't break in! Dad, where are you? Come and save us!"

Outside the imperial city, Xu Wan was waiting for the result.

She was worried all day, fearing that something would happen inside, but the palace was quiet, and the palace examination was held as scheduled until the evening, when a group of people hurried out.

Xu Wan got off the carriage, thinking that it was the people from the Ministry of Rites who came out to announce the results of the palace examination.

But who knows, they heard them say: "Announce to the world, the emperor is seriously ill, and the throne will be passed to the fifteenth prince Chu Jincheng."

Xu Wan's eyes widened, she turned to Cuizhi and Cuiliu and asked: "Did I hear it wrong?"

Cuizhi was completely stunned.

Luckily Cuiliu was still awake, she quickly replied: "Madam, you heard it right, it was passed to Chu Jincheng, Master Cheng... ascended the throne to become the emperor."
