I have been working hard for half my life and have only been on the throne for twenty years. Is there anyone thinking about his position?

The emperor sneered: "I have been in peace as a prince for thirty years before I have been favored by the emperor and granted the throne. How old are they? Are they just thinking about these things?"

Xiao Jingtang lowered his head.

"I am not stupid. It's not that I don't know that the boss and the third brother are fighting hard." The emperor coughed twice, and said with a cold face: "If I fight for it with progress, I like to hear and use some tricks, it is inevitable. But if I use the method of hurting me, I deserve to die!"

"Your Majesty calmed down." The prince quickly comforted him: "The imperial physician said, you should not be angry."

"They obviously want to piss me to death!" After patting the bed, the emperor said angrily: "Do you still have my father in your eyes? You are just because I sit on this throne, so I respect me a little!"

Eunuch Wang smiled and said, "What did Your Majesty say? Haven't both princes come to pay their respects for your illness?"

"Look at what they asked for?" The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the emperor clenched his fists: "I am just sick and not dead yet. They urged me to establish a crown prince one by one, and even pretended to be a ghost to scare me! If I really established a crown prince, would I be directly killed by a ghost?"

Xiao Jingtang didn't say anything. The emperor shouted for a while and turned to look at him: "Do you have nothing to say?"

"I am afraid." Xiao Jingtang bowed: "After all, it is your Majesty's housework, so I am not suitable to comment."

Needless to say, the emperor himself knew that the person who said yesterday that the crown prince was the queen. The third prince and Shufei didn't say a word from beginning to end, only caring about the dragon body of the saint. Whoever is profitable and who has feelings can tell at a glance.

After calming down his anger, the emperor quickly calmed down, looked at him with an inquiring gaze for a while, and suddenly said, "Someone told me that you have a good personal relationship with the third prince."

"Your Majesty's clarification." Xiao Jingtang said: "I am nodding and the third prince are just friends. I meet on the way to the palace and follow the ceremony. It's not very good."

"Oh?" The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Now the court officials have chosen people to stand. Some support the eldest prince and some support the third prince. Since the beloved minister has entered the officialdom, he will inevitably follow the customs."

This sentence came from the emperor's mouth, which put a lot of pressure on people. The prince and the prince next to him looked serious and looked at Xiao Jingtang with a little worried.

Xiao Jingtang stood up straight, his head lowered, but there was no fear on his face. He was silent for a few moments and said seriously: "I am only obeying Your Majesty. The eldest prince and the third prince are the descendants of Your Majesty. I am treating you equally."

With a slightly moved look, the emperor sat up and looked at him: "I came from the prince, and I know how many people the battle will involve in the following battle. If you are only loyal to me, aren't you afraid of being harmed?"

"Listen to what Your Majesty said today, someone must have slandered the weak ministers behind their backs." Xiao Jingtang said lightly: "The most difficult thing for loyal ministers is not to resist slandering others, but to gain the trust of the emperor. The weak minister is loyal to the king. If the king favors the weak ministers, then any slander will not be hurt by the ministers. On the contrary... As Your Majesty said, the ministers will be harmed by others."

The emperor was stunned by these words, staring at him for a long time, and pondered: "What do you mean is that if there are few people loyal to me in this court, is it because I don't trust them?"

"It is not entirely because of Your Majesty's fault. If they do not try their best to win your Majesty's trust, your Majesty naturally has no need to trust them." Xiao Jingtang said: "What I do now is useless to any prince. I only follow Your Majesty's instructions, and only make Your Majesty believe in your loyalty and protect your life, so that you can better serve the Lord."

For the emperor, such words are very useful. The emperor knew that Xiao Jingtang was a person who was not good at speaking. If he could say these words, he must be sincere and felt relieved at the moment.

He was busy with all kinds of things and had been in the deep palace for a long time. He didn't know many things outside. Some people said that Xiao Jingtang was blessed by the third prince and won the top scorer. Although he didn't believe it, he also had a grudge about whether he had a personal relationship with the third prince. But after this explanation, the emperor let it go.

Those who are loyal to him are indeed in a more difficult situation. If they find out that the haunted is man-made, someone will want to harm him. He does... should trust him more.

After reflecting on himself for a while, the emperor said with a kind look: "Since that's the case, then the queen wants to give you a marriage, so I will push you. My dear friend just chooses the person he likes as his wife, and I will not interfere."

When he heard this, Xiao Jingtang lifted his robe and knelt down: "About my sweetheart, I want to ask Your Majesty to make the decision."

"What?" the emperor raised his eyebrows: "Do you have a lover?"

"Yes." Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jingtang said with a complicated expression: "My heart is a commoner, but he has some skills and can make glass jewelry. He was attracted by Concubine Shu and forced to recognize his relatives. I was quite helpless and dared not refuse Concubine Shu and was afraid of misunderstandings. It was really difficult."

The emperor was stunned and thought for a while: "Are they the yellow, green and beautiful jade that Concubine Shu wore recently? It's called Liuli?"

"Yes." Xiao Jingtang bowed: "I don't want to stop her from doing jewelry. I really can't sell it to Concubine Shu. But... I want to marry her, but Concubine Shu recognizes her as her goddaughter. That minister..."

With a slightly frown, the emperor understood: "This is Concubine Shu's ignorant. I will talk about her later. Don't take it to heart."

With a long sigh, Xiao Jingtang lowered his head.

The emperor comforted: "It's okay, if you explain this matter clearly to me, I will know that it was a method of Concubine Shu, not your intention to marry Concubine Shu."

"The Emperor is wise."

The final purpose of this acting is just this. Once it is achieved, Xiao Jingtang will feel relaxed.

The emperor was complaining in his heart, but suddenly he heard someone outside saying: "Your Majesty, the Empress asks for a visit."

After a slight pause, the emperor waved his hand and asked someone to come in, but said to Xiao Jingtang: "Your dear will avoid it after you go."

"Yes." Without asking why, Xiao Jingtang turned sideways and entered the dark room.

The queen came in with her skirt, bowed and looked inside: "Mr. Xiao is gone?"

"Yes." The emperor nodded: "Is there anything you have to do?"

"Your Majesty." He frowned and sat beside the bed. The queen said, "I have found out that Xiao Jingtang and Concubine Shu have been colluding with Concubine Shu for a long time. He has been in contact with the people in Concubine Shu's palace these days. Today, he will go to pay tribute to Concubine Shu first. Do you think this is true!"

He looked at her and the emperor asked, "Who is in the palace of Concubine Shu?"
