A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 127 The woman chosen for the throne?

Yi Duoer's butterfly-like eyelids lifted slightly, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes. Her eyes full of hope looked straight at Qi Feng who was sitting opposite her.

Qi Feng frowned slightly, slowly touching his chin with his hand, his eyes deep and reserved. He elaborated thoughtfully:

"There is a medicine called Huishen Powder. It's not an ordinary thing. It's a poison, but it won't kill you. Once you take it, you'll feel weak all over, as if all your strength has been drained. Only if you take the antidote will your health improve. And if a doctor takes your pulse, they'll just think it's just a common symptom of poisoning."

When Yi Duoer heard this, her already bright eyes shone even brighter, and she was overjoyed.

She couldn't wait to say to Qi Feng, "Brother Qi, please give me some."

Qi Feng did not act immediately. There was a trace of worry in his eyes. He looked at Yi Duoer and asked, "What's the use of this? Are you in trouble? Otherwise, I can't just give it to you. If anything happens to you, Chu Jingchen, the icy man, will not let me go."

Seeing that Qi Feng had been puzzled for a long time, Yi Duoer's mind turned, her eyes instantly turned red, and she made up a touching story with tears in her eyes.

The story was so vivid that even she almost believed it.

Qi Feng shook his head helplessly. After all, he was no match for this little girl. He stood up and took some Rejuvenating Powder and handed it to Yi Duoer. Yi Duoer burst into laughter and said hurriedly:

"Thank you, Brother Qi. I'll be leaving first." "Hey..." Qi Feng was about to give some instructions, but after Yi Duoer thanked him, she walked away without stopping like a happy little bird.

Qi Feng looked at her gradually disappearing back, sighed slowly, and said lovingly, "This little girl,"

Inside the palace, the imperial study was filled with a depressing atmosphere. The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his eyes full of melancholy.

He silently looked at Chu Junye standing below. He had hinted to Chu Junye many times to divorce Yi Duoer, but Chu Junye seemed to deliberately pretend not to understand his intention, which made the emperor very angry.

"Father, now that he has even come to control my harem, what can't he do? I'm just afraid he has ill intentions, so we..." Chu Junye said anxiously, with a hint of panic and unwillingness in his eyes.

The emperor naturally understood the meaning of Chu Jun's night talk, but he knew very well that Chu Jingchen would not seek to usurp the throne. That was because their father, the emperor, had sworn a poisonous oath on his deathbed that he would never be an emperor in this life.

Now that Chu Jingchen has a woman he loves, he will not have any second thoughts. For the emperor, being able to use a woman to restrain Chu Jingchen is the best thing. Therefore, the emperor scolded him sternly: "If you dare to say these words again in the future, I will punish you severely!"

Chu Junye showed an unwilling expression on his face, but he did not dare to be too presumptuous. He just called out softly in dissatisfaction:

"Father..." The emperor stood up helplessly, walked slowly to Chu Junye's side, raised his hand and patted his shoulder gently, the action was full of comfort.

"I was the one who forced you to marry the Shangshu's daughter because of the Empress Dowager. I know I wronged you. You are a man of both civil and military talents. I am old now, and the burden of ruling the country will fall on you from now on. You must learn to consider the overall situation."

The emperor's words were profound. In his heart, he truly recognized Chu Junye's abilities, but this time, he had to let Chu Junye make a decision. The emperor's sadness was palpable, and he earnestly counseled Chu Junye, hoping he would understand his painstaking efforts.

Chu Junye felt sad after hearing the emperor's words. He naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's words. It was clearly asking him to make a choice between the throne and a woman.

"Father..." He subconsciously called out softly, his eyes showing sadness and grief, his lips trembling slightly, and just as he was about to say something,

The emperor continued in a deep voice, "Father knows all you've said. Your uncle has always been unruly and unrestrained, and he's alone, without anyone to care for him. He's free and unattached. Now that he's attracted to a woman, it's actually a good thing for us. When a lonely man has something to care for, a family, he's easily satisfied and won't have any other concerns."

The emperor's words suddenly made Chu Junye understand, but he was still unwilling to give up. Yi Duoer was his beloved woman, how could he bear to let her go?

However, now, his father has made it clear that if he does not give up Yi Duoer, he will have no chance of becoming the crown prince.

Chu Junye slowly closed his eyes and sighed heavily. That sigh seemed to contain the helplessness of the entire world.

"Father, I understand! I want to go back first." His tone was extremely sad, like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances.

Then, he walked out of the imperial study in a daze. The emperor looked at his departing figure and sighed helplessly. The emperor knew in his heart that he had to make Chu Junye and Yi Duoer break up as soon as possible.

He had to prevent Yi Duoer from becoming a beauty who brought disaster upon herself and triggering a clash between Chu Jingchen and Chu Junye. If that day really came, he would have to be ruthless and kill Yi Duoer for the sake of his country.
