He was said to be partial, but if he favored any other prince instead of King Rui, the Emperor would have been certain that his sons would not live to adulthood.
So, he did not love his sons, nor did he favor his grandsons.
Now it seemed that he could not even love other people’s grandsons, otherwise, they would dare to spread any absurd rumors.
The Emperor slowly walked to the dragon throne, turned around, and sat down.
There was no one around him, and he was all alone.
A few days later, Concubine Li was stripped of her title and demoted to a noble lady because of her lack of virtue. The Fifth Prince, born to her, was also reprimanded and ordered to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion.
All the forces stopped their overt actions and fought more fiercely in private, until the autumn hunt of that year, when the Second Prince fell off his horse and broke a leg.
The Emperor was furious and demoted many officials.
The Third Prince’s lineage was almost uprooted.
At this point, among the adult princes, King An had passed away, the Second Prince had a broken leg, the Third Prince was despised, the Fifth Prince was troubled by his mother, and the rest were young and had not yet achieved anything.
When everyone looked around, they saw that only the Fourth Prince was left, who had been called stupid more than once.
The Fourth Prince was extremely terrified and could not believe that such a good thing would happen to him.
Facts proved that there was indeed no such thing.
The Emperor acted decisively and appointed several ministers and King Rui to assist in the administration. He also set aside half a day every day to call all the underage princes and grandchildren to the palace, cutting off their contact with the outside world.
They could only go to school and were not allowed to have any other thoughts.
Looking at the Emperor’s posture, it seemed as if he wanted to train an heir himself.
When Su Yi learned about this, she couldn’t help but be amazed. The Emperor was so old, but he was still quite active.
He seemed to be saying, “I can live another twenty years. Let’s see how you unworthy descendants can jump out of the Five Finger Mountain.”
She didn’t care what the Emperor did, but recently, King Rui was appointed as a regent, and Mao Tuan went to school, so she was bored alone.
Every time she woke up in the morning, there was no one around her. When she fell asleep at night, the person beside her had not come back yet.
This went on for one, two, ten days, or half a month. Su Yi was almost bored to death.
One night, when she was sleeping in a daze, she vaguely felt that there was someone beside her.
Su Yi rolled over and complained vaguely, “It’s so late again.”
King Rui was afraid of waking her up and didn’t dare to get too close. Seeing that she was awake, he hugged her tighter with confidence and lowered his head to kiss her forehead to express his apology.
Su Yi yawned and rubbed her cheek against his chest. Without opening her eyes, she said, “In a few years, we will leave everything behind and travel outside the capital.”
“Okay.” King Rui agreed.
Su Yi added, “Wandering around the world and doing justice sounds much more interesting than being a prince or princess.”
King Rui nodded and said, “The Princess is right.”
Su Yi hummed twice and continued to imagine the beautiful life in the future.
She knew that although King Rui responded to her request quickly, he couldn’t really leave such a big business and leave. This guy looked cold and ruthless, but he actually had a father-son relationship with the Emperor.
The Emperor also treated him as his own son. He only trusted King Rui to assist in the government. When he really chose an heir in the future, he would probably need King Rui as a backer so that the new emperor could sit firmly on the throne.
When Su Yi thought of this, she felt that she had something to do again: She should train Mao Tuan and make him a perfect heir to the Rui Palace. When the Emperor died one day and the new emperor came to the throne, she would let Mao Tuan be his backer, so she and the dog would go traveling and enjoy the scenery.
As for whether Mao Tuan was willing?
Su Yi said that she would have a good talk with him, at least to teach him to respect the elderly and love the young.
Things like being a ranger should let his parents try first, right?
In another courtyard not far away, the sleeping little prince of the Rui Palace suddenly sneezed violently.
Su Yi had a new goal and fell into a sound sleep. She had to have some fun in this world to make the trip worthwhile.
*****
The author has something to say:
Mao Tuan jumped up and down: You have made a worthwhile trip, but what about me!
Su Yi: What? The wind is too strong. I can’t hear clearly.
