Chapter 218 I think our children are the best
"Well, I once got it from a hermit master." Prince Guo said vaguely.
Zhen Huan knew that Prince Guo said this because he didn't want to elaborate, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"In that case, I have to thank that hermit master." Zhen Huan said with a smile.
"Huan'er, why are you thanking him? You should thank me." Prince Guo gently pinched Zhen Huan's waist.
Zhen Huan felt a little itchy, moved her position, and then tentatively said: "Okay, thanks to our Yunli, Huan'er is very grateful, so that we can get rid of Yixiu and the third prince so smoothly."
Prince Guo: "Then how does Huan'er plan to thank me?"
Zhen Huan: "This..."
"Then use RT to repay it." Prince Guo smiled evilly, and Zhen Huan was somewhat fascinated by his handsome face.
"I think..." Before Zhen Huan could finish her words, Prince Guo turned over and leaned over to press her down.
He used his lips to block what Zhen Huan wanted to say, and the passionate kiss made both of them sink into the ambiguous atmosphere.
A charming room, a night of ecstasy...
An hour later, the two finally lay flat on the bed, panting. Prince Guo hugged Zhen Huan and continued to talk about his next plan. At the same time, he needed Zhen Huan's cooperation. "Huan'er, what do you think of the emperor's brother next?"
"Just do as you say." Zhen Huan said softly.
At this time, a white light was faintly appearing in the sky and it was almost dawn. Prince Guo left reluctantly.
After Prince Guo left, Zhen Huan fell asleep quickly. Because she was so exhausted from the intense exercise just now, she slept soundly and had a beautiful and happy dream...
………………
Half a month later
Under Concubine Hua's careful care, the emperor's health gradually recovered and he no longer vomited blood as frequently as before, but he still looked very weak.
During the emperor's illness, court affairs were handled by Prince Guo, and his outstanding performance won the praise of many court officials.
During this period, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong had made appointments to visit the emperor many times. However, among the three of them, only An Lingrong was truly concerned about the emperor's health, while Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had their own thoughts.
Although Zhen Huan knew that the emperor would not live long, she did not reveal this news to Shen Meiyu and An Lingrong. Only she and Prince Guo knew about it.
Even the imperial physicians were unable to detect the poison that had long accumulated in the emperor's body. They could only diagnose some minor illnesses caused by anger and overwork.
Ever since the emperor's health improved a little, he has begun to work diligently on state affairs again, often going to the imperial study and sitting there for three or four hours.
Su Peisheng would always advise the emperor to take care of his health, but the emperor never listened because there were too many state affairs that needed his personal handling.
Although Prince Guo could help him handle government affairs, he was still his brother, not his son.
The emperor knew very well that the throne would be passed on to his biological son in the future, not Prince Guo.
However, the longer the emperor stayed in the imperial study, the faster his life would be shortened. On this day, after the emperor finished handling government affairs, he suddenly ordered Su Peisheng to invite Zhen Huan to the Yangxin Palace.
Zhen Huan arrived at the Yangxin Palace and bowed respectfully to the emperor: "May your majesty be blessed with good health!"
The emperor motioned for Zhen Huan to sit next to him, "Please sit down. I want to chat with you today."
Zhen Huan walked towards the emperor with light steps, looked at him with a smile and said, "What do you want to talk about today, Your Majesty?"
"These past few days I have always felt that my health is not as good as before, and the previous dynasty is talking about appointing a crown prince. Do you know how annoyed I am? Do these ministers think that I am old, so they are anxious to appoint a crown prince? Huanhuan, what do you think?"
When Zhen Huan heard the emperor's question, she knew that he was testing her, so she replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The ministers may be worried that your Majesty is too tired and want someone to share their worries."
The emperor was very satisfied when he heard this. "Even if we have to appoint a crown prince, I am waiting for our Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince is my favorite. I think our child is the best."
"I am very happy that the emperor likes the Sixth Prince, but I think the future emperor needs to be a capable person. The Sixth Prince is still young and not competent, and he can't share the emperor's worries. Moreover, Hongzhou is mediocre and not as good as the Fourth Prince."
"After all, I always think of the Fourth Prince's background." The emperor said worriedly.
After thinking for a moment, Zhen Huan replied, "I hope that the emperor will put the country first. For the long-term plan, the Fourth Prince is the most suitable candidate."
The emperor was a little surprised that Zhen Huan always recommended the Fourth Prince instead of their child Hongzhou.
"The Fourth Prince is not your biological son."
"Your Majesty is worried about the selection of the crown prince, not my own son." Zhen Huan knew that the fourth prince was the only choice for the emperor, because the emperor's time was running out. She expressed her attitude firmly, and at the same time hinted to the emperor that she understood his thoughts.
The Emperor frowned slightly and continued to test him, "What if I find a foster mother for the Fourth Prince with a more noble birth?" This was obviously a test of whether Zhen Huan would fight for the custody of the Fourth Prince for her own benefit.
Zhen Huan responded calmly and replied without any mistakes, "As long as the throne is justified and there is someone to carry on the throne, I have no objection." She showed a broad mind and selfless demeanor, without the slightest greed.
The emperor was very satisfied with Zhen Huan's answer, and secretly admired her wisdom and calmness. She was not greedy for power, was tolerant and generous, and really had the demeanor of a mother of a country.
The Emperor looked at Zhen Huan with admiration in his eyes, and then he continued tentatively, "After this incident, I have chosen you as the Queen." These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhen Huan's heart.
Zhen Huan took a deep breath and slowly replied, "I have been blessed by His Majesty, and I dare not compare myself with Queen Chunyuan. Moreover, the ministers in the court will definitely criticize me because of my matter. I don't want to be in the spotlight and make the emperor feel embarrassed about the relationship between the emperor and his subjects and the couple."
She tactfully expressed that she did not want to become the target of public criticism, did not want to cause dissatisfaction among court officials because of her status, and did not want to cause trouble for the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor fell into deep thought. He realized that what Zhen Huan said made sense and nodded in agreement.
Finally, the emperor sighed helplessly and said, "If that's the case, I won't say any more about this matter." He decided to respect Zhen Huan's wishes and temporarily put aside the issue of establishing a queen.
A few days later, a ceremony to establish the crown prince was held in the palace, and the fourth prince, Hongli, was successfully established as the crown prince.
The emperor was not disappointed. Hongli's intelligence and talent really amazed him, but he lacked experience.
