Immediately, everyone in the palace of Emperor Qingping was stunned.
Emperor Qingping's eyes were splitting, and he stared at Xue Yan closely.
Empress Jiang next to her was also stunned, unable to speak for a moment.
Xue Yan himself was the most calm in the whole palace. He sat in a chair, looked at Emperor Qingping calmly, and said, "Don't look at me, I don't mean to ask for your consent, I'll let you know."
He looked up at Empress Jiang and said, "I know a famous doctor in Jiangnan, and I have already sent someone to ask for it. Whatever can be cured, it will be cured, and if it cannot be cured, let his other sons do it."
Xue Yan said this lightly, as if the thing he could not avoid was not the throne, but two taels of silver, which he threw away.
After he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate, he stood up, looked at Emperor Qingping and said, "I'm leaving."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left without turning his head.
Emperor Qingping's chest heaved violently, staring at Xue Yan, and at first glance, he was angry.
Seeing Emperor Qing Ping's reaction, Queen Jiang was afraid that something would happen after Xue Yan left. She hurriedly chased after him and blocked Xue Yan regardless.
Xue Yan was stopped and looked down at Empress Jiang.
"Is there something wrong with the lady?" he asked.
Empress Jiang hurriedly said: "King Guangling, the emperor is seriously ill now, and the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, you know it. Now who is in charge of the emperor for the emperor, it is not you who has the final say, it is for the emperor to decide. "
Xue Yan frowned.
Empress Jiang glanced in the direction of Emperor Qingping, and lowered her voice to persuade Xue Yan, "Even if you really don't want to be crowned, now is the time for you to be the leader. As for what will happen in the future, you can talk to the emperor well, okay?"
Xue Yan still had an impatient expression.
He was too lazy to talk too much with Emperor Qing Ping.
He knew how afraid of death Qing Ping was, and how much he cherished the position under his buttocks. Now that he has regained his life, he can't live a good life. Naturally, he can feel at ease only by seeing his position passed to the people he can trust.
Xue Yan knew who he was most assured of.
He fought for power before, but it was because everyone wanted him to die, and he just wanted to live. Now the people who want him to die have no other way out, and he naturally doesn't want to stay, and care about these things that have nothing to do with him.
Everyone coveted the throne, but among these people, he was not included. He has no interest in a major event in the world, and the only thing he wants to do is to help King Yan regain Yan County. Second, as the emperor, even if he quits, the ministers will try their best to enrich the three palaces and six courtyards for him.
At that time, Jun Huailang will not be allowed to run
Besides, he didn't want Jun Huailang to sit in the seat of a woman like the queen.
Xue Yan had a non-negotiable look.
Empress Jiang was a little anxious, looked back at Emperor Qingping, and then dragged Xue Yan out of Emperor Qingping's bedroom.
Xue Yan let her be pulled, with a non-violent and uncooperative appearance.
After standing in the corridor outside the palace, Xue Yan said, "Niangniang, don't persuade me, it's useless."
Empress Jiang said, "Even if you don't want to take over Dabao, you have to think about yourself... the one you like, isn't it?"
Xue Yan's eyes paused and looked at her.
Empress Jiang knew now that she was right.
She lowered her voice and continued: "If you don't care now, who can help the princes in the palace? Yun Huan is young and not the talent of an emperor, so the rest now, whether it's your highness or two Your Highness, are you at ease?"
Xue Yan frowned.
The eldest prince had mediocre aptitude and a very pedantic personality. Even if he had several contacts with him in the courtroom, Xue Yan was very annoying. Not to mention the second prince, Xue Yunsu, he was bad and stupid, and it made him disgusting when he saw it.
Empress Jiang continued: "Even if you become an idle prince in the future, you and your sweetheart must stay in Dayong. The emperor's eyes will never be taken away from you. If you want to live happily, you need to give yourself Make plans for the future.”
Xue Yan knew that Empress Jiang was right.
Not to mention him, even Jun Huailang would enter the court as an official from now on, and he would never live a mediocre life.
The eldest prince is pedantic, and at that time, he will naturally try to obstruct him and find trouble. As for Xue Yunsu... not to mention it.
Xue Yan clicked his tongue and began to curse Xue Yunhong in his heart.
This bastard who is jumping off the wall, he can't do anything well, and he will cut my way back when he is dying.
Empress Jiang looked at him.
"King Guangling, come back and discuss it with His Majesty?"
Xue Yan gritted his teeth and did not refuse after all.
—
By the time Yongning Gongfu returned to calm, it was already late at night.
Jun Linghuan hadn't seen his brother for a long time, and when he saw Jun Huailang coming back, he clinged to him all day.
When it was late at night, Jun Huailang coaxed Jun Linghuan to fall asleep, and then lightly withdrew from Jun Linghuan's room.
The lights in the main house were still on, so Mrs. Jun hadn't slept yet.
Jun Huailang still had one thing in his heart, so he did not go back to the room, but went to the main room.
As soon as he entered the yard, a maid saw him and hurriedly entered the house to communicate. After a while, the maid left the house and led Jun Huailang in.
When Jun Huailang entered the room, Mrs. Jun was sitting on the couch beside the bed.
Seeing him come in, Madam Jun stepped forward and led him to sit with her.
"I'm busy during the day, but I haven't taken a good look at you." She took Jun Huailang's hand and smiled softly. "I haven't seen my son for more than a year. I've grown a lot taller, but I've lost some weight."
Jun Huailang sat down beside her.
"The food in Jiangnan is different from that at home. Although it's fresh, it's still not used to it after a long time." Jun Huailang said with a smile.
Mrs. Jun smiled and poked his forehead: "I didn't expect that I would go to Jiangnan and learn to be picky. Tomorrow, my mother will instruct the kitchen to make you a table of your favorite food and bring you the wind."
Jun Huailang responded with a smile.
The mother and son chatted. After a while, Mrs. Jun asked, "Huailang came to my mother late at night, does she have something to say?"
Of course she knew her own children. If there is no important matter, he will definitely not come to disturb him in such a late night.
Jun Huailang paused and nodded.
"There is one thing to tell mother," he said.
Mrs. Jun nodded: "You said."
Jun Huailang thought about it and said, "It's related to His Royal Highness King Guangling."
Mrs. Jun responded.
"Mother wanted to ask you today, but I was so busy during the day that I never found an opportunity," she said.
Jun Huailang nodded.
"My mother heard a few months ago that the King of Guangling went to Jiangnan on an order. I didn't expect that there was an emergency in Beijing, and he would send someone to the house." She said. "Your father has never been a party or a group, and he would never have anything to do with King Guangling. My mother thought, you have been with His Royal Highness King Guangling for some time in the palace, so you must have a personal relationship?"
Jun Huailang paused.
His mother wasn't wrong, but this personal relationship... was not quite what his mother thought.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a while, his mother knew that she was right.
She smiled and said warmly: "Mother didn't mean to blame you. Now that His Royal Highness King Guangling is on the rise, and he has helped us save lives, it's not bad that you have a personal relationship with him..."
Jun Huailang opened his mouth.
"Mother," he said. "I'm with him."
Mrs. Jun's words came to an abrupt end. For a while, the room fell into a dead silence.
Jun Huailang looked down at the tea cup on the table, Madam Jun stared at him blankly, and for a while, no one spoke.
After a while, Mrs. Jun said with a strong smile: "Which kind of being together? You must have a good time together, and you are as close as brothers, which is common..."
Jun Huailang looked at her silently.
Then, he stood up and knelt down in front of Mrs. Jun.
"The son knows that this move is not worthy of his parents' parenting, but his mind has been set and it is difficult to change." He said. "Please mother punish me."
He knelt down without any strength, and his knees hit the ground, making a dull crashing sound.
Madam Jun didn't speak.
After a while, she wept softly: "Why are you so confused?"
Jun Huailang knelt and didn't move.
Mrs. Jun wiped away her tears, but the tears grew more and more. She wiped it a few times, and the handkerchief was soaked wet, she simply put the handkerchief on her lap, and then said, "Not to mention that the two of you are both men, how will you get married and have children in the future? How will the world see it? You? But regarding His Royal Highness King Guangling, don't you know what kind of person he is? Do you know what he has in mind for you? When he feels boring or wants to have a child, what should you do? Is good?"
Jun Huailang didn't raise his head, his voice was calm, but his tone was quite certain: "He won't."
After a pause, he continued, "Neither will my son."
Madam Jun let out a low cry.
"Isn't he going to be a prince, but an emperor?" At this time, she didn't care about these taboos, so she said it directly. "Then what are you doing? Be his concubine and enter his three palaces and six courtyards?"
If it is a woman, even if she enters the palace, she is favored and then she falls out of favor, as long as she is careful and cautious, she can live in peace and enjoy the glory, wealth and adoration in the palace.
But how are your own children? Madam Jun knew that people's words were terrifying, and even if she could endure it for a while, she could never endure it for a lifetime.
What's more, if Xue Yan is unkind, what will happen after Jun Huailang is with him? At that time, he is the emperor, and he can do anything wrong, but his children will fall into the crowd of women and endure scorn and scolding.
The more Madam Jun thought about it, the more distressed she became, and the more she cried.
"Why are you so confused? It's not good for you to like someone, and it's not good for you to be with someone? Even if it's a country girl, my mother won't let her in!"
Jun Huailang, however, remained on his knees, repeating firmly, "Mother, he won't."
He also knew that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the whole of Chang'an, knew that Xue Yan was about to inherit the throne.
But he also knew that Xue Yan would never let him fall into the situation his mother said. He was an independent, bottom-line person himself, and would never really do what his mother had guessed.
Hearing this, Mrs. Jun became even more angry.
"What guarantee do you take? If Xue Yan really has that heart, he will tell it himself!"
Mrs. Jun was very anxious and distressed, and she could not care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers.
Although she was born in a famous family and has been a lady since she was a child, at this time, when she saw her son stubbornly kneeling in front of her, she was so angry that she was anxious.
Then Xue Yan poured some ecstasy soup into his own child, relying on his child's good heart and good temper, so he deceived him so far!
From then on, even if he wants to be a prince, when he worships as a monarch and a minister, he must roll his eyes a few times in private to relieve his anger.
