Jade Without Fragrance

  Chapter 333 The Son Became Someone Else

   It was an eventful season, and King Jing had no good intuition. When he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation and saw Emperor Tai'an who was ill and leaning on the bed, he felt even worse.

   The fourth brother looks like he's going to die, is it possible that he wants to take care of the orphan?

   That shouldn't be entrusted to him, he has always acted so low-key and uncontested.

  King Jing panicked in his heart, and saluted respectfully on his face: "Is your brother better?"

   "It's much better." Tai'an said with a cheerful expression, "Fifth brother sits and talks."

  Liu Chuan immediately moved a small bucket and placed it beside King Jing.

  King Jing carefully sat down on the small scorpion, and felt even more uneasy in his heart.

   "It's been ten years since the fifth brother and his family came to Beijing?"

   King Jing smiled dryly: "It's been ten years."

   "Time flies so fast." Tai'an's face showed a sigh.

   King Jing continued dryly: "Isn't it true, ten years have passed in one fell swoop."

  It's over, it's over, once you reminisce about the past, things will be big.

  Emperor Tai'an looked at King Jing with gentle eyes: "When I was young, my brothers didn't know how to be together. I didn't expect that at this age, the fifth brother was the one with whom I most fell in love."

   King Jing couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly got up and thanked him: "The emperor's brother loves him so much, he is ashamed to be worthy of it."

   "I speak the truth."

   King Jing: "..." If I believe it, can you let me go?

  Not only did Emperor Tai'an not let anyone go, he also stretched out his hand to hold King Jing's hand. At that moment, King Jing almost couldn't hold back and jumped up and ran.

   "The fifth brother and Shuo'er made great achievements in the north. I have not rewarded them properly, and I am really ashamed."

   King Jing hurriedly said: "Brother, please don't say that, it is our father and son's duty to share the worries for the elder brother."

"Cough cough." Emperor Tai'an coughed twice, looking very weak, "The fifth brother also knows that my illness has not improved for a long time, and I have not been to court for some days. Crazy about..."

   "Yes, so the emperor takes good care of him, and takes care of himself earlier."

   "Old." Emperor Tai'an sighed, "The crown prince is vacant again. This is the reason why Prince Ping will have a different heart and initiate a palace change. I thought it would be better to settle the matter of adopting an heir as soon as possible."

  King Jing groaned in his heart: "Isn't there a little prince? When the little prince reaches adulthood, you will be less than 70 years old, and my brother thinks there is no need to adopt it from the clan."

   Hearing King Jing mentioning the little prince, Emperor Tai'an's face darkened, and his face became even darker when he heard the comfort of seventy.

  King Jing shut his mouth wisely.

After the awkward silence, Emperor Tai'an opened his mouth: "The little prince was born weak, so I don't worry about handing over Jiangshan Sheji to him. It is better for our Qi family to choose one from the clan that is suitable for age, body, character, and talent. Jiangshan is in charge, what do you think, Fifth Brother?"

   "Brother Huang is right."

Emperor Tai'an took a deep look at the anxious King Jing, and finally said what he had foreshadowed for so long: "I think Shuo'er is very good, so let Shuo'er be the Prince of Zhou, and Quan should reward him for his great deeds. "

   "Brother Huang, it is absolutely impossible!" King Jing jumped directly from the small scorpion to the ground.

   Let's take a look at the fate of the three princes before and after. Is this a reward? This is clearly revenge!

   "What?" Tai'an's tone became cold.

  King Jing raised his head, but didn't flinch because of the emperor's displeased look: "Shuo'er has no ambitions, and his health is not very good. My brother thinks he is not suitable, why don't you think about it again?"

   "I just fell in love with Shuo'er." Emperor Tai'an said lightly.

  King Jing saw that his reasoning was unreasonable, and he immediately wiped his tears: "Brother Huang, the younger brother is such an eldest son!"

   As soon as the old man said he cried, he cried. Emperor Tai'an looked really hurt, and the corners of his eyes twitched and reminded: "Isn't there Huan'er?"

   King Jing was stagnant and wiped his tears: "Huan'er is the youngest son, and Shuo'er is the eldest son of his younger brother!"

   Emperor Tai'an was even more angry when he heard this.

   He doesn't have a decent son, the fifth has two!

   "Adopt Shuo'er to me, and Huan'er will be considered the eldest son."

   King Jing was shocked: "Brother Huang, can't you count it like this?"

Emperor Tai'an's face sank: "I haven't finished speaking yet, the selection of Shuo'er among so many clansmen was calculated by the national teacher, and Shuo'er is the emperor's destiny. Oh, by the way, I remembered that there is another rumor, saying that Shuo'er The child had a vision when he was born—"

   King Jing opened his mouth slightly, dumbfounded.

   Emperor Tai'an asked meaningfully: "Fifth brother, do you think it's appropriate to choose someone else?"

   King Jing was agitated and said hurriedly, "Brother Huang is wise, and Shuo'er is suitable."

   If these words spread today, as long as someone else becomes the Crown Prince, the Jingwang Palace will not end well. Which emperor tolerates a royal child who has an emperor's destiny?

   "Cough cough, my energy is not good, I will feel at ease with Shuo'er in the future."

   King Jing wanted to cry but had no tears.

   Fourth brother is relieved, how about him?

Originally, I could live a leisurely life of caring for my grandson right away, leaving the affairs of the palace to the steady and reliable eldest son. As a result, the eldest son became someone else's. Life is dark.

   King Jing returned to King Jing's mansion in a sedan chair, and when he arrived at the main courtyard, he still looked like he was flying out of the sky.

   "My lord, what's the matter? What is the emperor looking for from you?" Seeing Prince Jing's appearance, Princess Jing was inevitably a little worried.

   "Shuo'er has become someone else's..."

   Princess Jing didn't react for a while: "What nonsense did the lord say?"

   King Jing shed two lines of tears: "The emperor has chosen Shuo'er as his heir."

With a bang, the cup in Princess Jing's hand fell to the ground.

   She raised her hand to support her forehead, and it took a while to slow down: "Then...then the palace can only be handed over to Huan'er?"

  King Jing: "..." Which pot can't be opened and raised by Huanglian Po!

   The couple accepted the fact and called their children over.

   "Father, what's the matter with us calling at this time?" Qi Huan asked in confusion.

  The accident happened in the palace, he could only stay at home, and he didn't cause any trouble.

   King Jing looked at Qi Shuo with complicated eyes: "I called you here to say one thing, the emperor is going to adopt Shuo'er as his heir."

   "Big brother?" Qi Huan and Qi Qiong looked at Qi Shuo in shock.

   Lin Haoyi was stunned.

  The emperor wants to adopt Ah Shuo, so won't Ah Shuo become the prince?

   In other words, in the eleventh year of Tai'an in this life, when the emperor is recovering from illness, it will be the crown prince... Qi Shuo.

   This is like a dream, an incredible dream.

  Lin Hao quietly reached out and pinched Qi Shuo.

   Qi Shuo was calm when he heard the shocking news, but his face was distorted by this pinch.

   King Jing was instantly moved.

   Look at Shuo'er's sadness!

   He stretched out his hand and patted the eldest son on the shoulder, sighing: "Father knows that you can't accept it for a while, but your life is hard to resist..."

  Qi Shuo blinked and couldn't help saying: "If I understand correctly, is the eldest brother going to be the prince? Isn't this a great thing?"

  Why are the expressions of the whole family so strange?
