Jin Xiaoye had already given some of the carefully selected glass jewelry to Li Zhu.
Li Zhu picked out some from them, and then selected a few bars of soap with a faint fragrance, put them in an exquisite wooden box, and gave them to Lu Qingxi.
After Lu Qingxi received the things, he first asked his eunuchs who knew medicine to check them and make sure that there were no problems with them before bringing them into the palace.
As soon as Lü Qingxi entered the palace, some young eunuchs came around to show their courtesy. Lü Qingxi asked, "Where is the imperial concubine?"
One of the eunuchs said, "Eunuch, the imperial concubine is with the emperor."
Since Concubine Liu is with the Emperor, he can just go directly to the Emperor.
The emperor usually stayed in his bedroom to rest, and today was no exception. Lu Qingxi strode to the outside of the bedroom, then took the wooden box from the person next to him and walked in.
In the bedroom, Concubine Liu was speaking to the emperor in a gentle voice.
She was very dissatisfied with the emperor and even had a grudge against him, but the more so, the more gentle and considerate she was.
Only if the emperor sympathized with Qi'an could she gain more things for Qi'an, such as the throne.
Only because the emperor cared about their friendship could she persuade the emperor to believe her and accept her "son" arranged by her and Lu Qingxi.
Hope all goes well.
Qi Jun did feel guilty towards Qi An and wanted to compensate Qi An.
Logically, Qi An's face was disfigured, so there was no need for him to adopt Qi An, but Qi An became like this because of his negligence...
He has decided to adopt Qi'an as originally planned.
As for the selection of the new emperor...
When Qi Jun thought about this, he felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't sleep all night.
He hated both the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Yan and wanted to kill them as soon as possible.
But he is the emperor of Da Qi, and he has to consider the people of Da Qi.
If he insisted on his own way and did not allow these two people to ascend the throne, the Great Qi would be in chaos after his death, and the common people would suffer.
When Qi Jun was young, he once felt that he was very miserable.
As a prince, he couldn't even get enough food to eat and had to suffer from the cold in winter.
It was not until he was later named the Crown Prince and assigned to provide disaster relief that he understood what kind of life the common people in this world lived.
He felt that he was not living a good life, but in fact, the life he lived was what ordinary people dreamed of.
After his health deteriorated due to the poisoning, he blamed others for his fate, but later he thought... Many eunuchs in the palace had their penises removed at a very young age, and some even died as a result. Those who managed to survive had to serve others for the rest of their lives.
Compared to them, he was already living a very good life.
Qi Jun slowly came to his senses. He tried hard to forget his physical discomfort, thinking that as long as he was a good emperor and made the Great Qi safe and secure, his life would not be lived in vain.
Now...what should he do
Prince Jin is really not a good candidate to be the emperor. He has a bad temper and acts recklessly, and he doesn't take the people seriously at all!
He once regarded King Jin as his successor and gave him various opportunities to gain experience. However, King Jin only thought about making money and didn't care about the lives of the people at all.
In recent years, he has become increasingly paranoid.
The Prince of Yan is certainly not a good guy either, and is insidious, but he is more capable than the Prince of Jin.
