Hearing this, Nan Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

You know, although Nan Yan has been helping him and he has always listened to Nan Yan's words, the two of them seem to have never talked about the "position of the prince".

And now, Zhu Chengxuan obviously wanted to make the words clear.

Nan Yan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Highness has never told me this."

Zhu Chengxuan whispered: "My son dare not."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "You are also worried that I will fight for Cheng Jun and ask the emperor to enthrone him as the crown prince?"

Zhu Chengxuan said: "I don't know either. But people should think about themselves. Even if the Empress really fights for her younger brother, the Mr. and Mr. can understand."

“…”

"So, Erchen never mentioned this to the Empress."

Nan Yan looked at him gently.

It seems that this child is not completely ignorant of everything, nor is he completely indifferent to gains and losses. However, he was too careful when he was born and was too cautious. For him, protecting himself is more practical than fighting for something.

Until now, things were in a foregone conclusion, and he dared to tell the truth to Nanyan.

Nan Yan said softly: "Your Highness, let go of your care in the past. Now that the emperor has appointed you as the crown prince, he has truly admitted your excellence. You should be more confident in yourself."

“…”

"As for Cheng Jun..."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "He is only a little over one year old, why are I fighting for him?"

“…”

"When he grows up, it's just a saying that he can become a talent. Even if he becomes a talent, it's another saying that he is an emperor. I am not stupid. There is obviously a child who has already become a talent and has the spirit of a benevolent monarch in front of me. Why should I fight for him? He may not be able to hold on to the battle, and it hurts your heart. Why bother?"

Zhu Chengxuan's eyes became even redder.

He whispered: "Empress, Empress really treats her son as her own child..."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "You respect me as your mother and call me a son in front of me. You are not my child, so who are you?"

Zhu Chengxuan stood up, knelt in front of her, and climbed on her knees with both hands.

He choked and said, "Empress, my son's minister... I have no mother anymore. My mother left and the imperial concubine also left. In this harem, I am the only one who is really good to me. From now on, you will be my son's mother. I will serve you well, be filial to you, and treat your younger brothers and sisters well."

“…”

"In this life, the son is your son."

Nanyan reached out and touched his hair.

He said softly: "Your Highness said so, I will give you all the happiness of the old age."

Aunt Tongyun and the others stood beside her. Seeing this scene, they all turned their faces silently and reached out to wipe away the little wetness and heat from the corners of their eyes.

After Zhu Chengxuan shed a few tears, Nan Yan helped him up and let him sit back in the chair.

Then he smiled and said, "You went to Mr. Si's house last night? So you didn't come back overnight?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Chengxuan, whose eyes were originally red, suddenly turned red. Nan Yan looked at his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Chengxuan looked at her carefully and said, "I met Qi Qing at Lord Si's mansion."

"Oh? Why is she where?"

"She went to Lord Si's mansion to relax and we met."

Hearing this, Nan Yan smiled.

I think that Zhu Feng asked Zhu Chengxuan to ask Si Muyun for advice for official business, in order to keep him outside the palace, but Si Muyun wanted to let this lover who had been separated for too long and could not meet each other, so he deliberately asked Gu Qiqing to his house in advance.

Everything seemed to pave the way for him.

Nan Yan said: "Then, what did you do last night?"

Zhu Chengxuan blushed and said hurriedly: "We did nothing, we just chatted at Lord Si's mansion for a while. Later, it rained, and we went back to our room. She, she was not married yet, would not ignore her reputation. The father also said that when the filial piety period passed, we would point out marriage, and the son would not do anything randomly."

Seeing his face flushed and afraid that others would think wildly, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile.

He said: "Okay, you don't need to explain."

“…”

"I am still assured of these things as propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, loyalty, filial piety, integrity and fraternity."

Zhu Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Yan smiled again and said, "I'm shocked when I heard this news."

Zhu Chengxuan looked up at her and said, "I didn't know my father would announce this before going to court. I just heard that someone died in the palace last night, and I was shocked."

“…!”

Nanyan's heart suddenly jumped.

Didn’t Zhu Feng block the news of Qin Ruolan’s death? He asked Eunuch Yu to take someone to handle it secretly, and even the cold palace was locked. Why did Zhu Chengxuan know as soon as he came back?

She asked, "How did you know?"

Zhu Chengxuan looked at her and blinked: "Everyone in the palace knows this. It is not a trivial matter for the Empress to kill Guiren Ling."

“…”

Nan Yan's heart almost pounded.

I felt relieved when I heard Zhu Chengxuan's words.

By the way, not only Qin Ruolan died last night, but also Ling Shansi, who Zhu Feng specifically used to beat the sloppy eyes. He was talking about Ling Shansi's death.

Now, Nanyan admires Zhu Feng’s arrangement a little.

If Ling Shansi had not died, everyone's eyes would have been difficult to change.

She coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I thought you didn't know about this yet."

Zhu Chengxuan said: "Of course I know that as soon as I enter the palace, I hear the little eunuchs talking."

"oh……"

"Empress, why is it Ling Guiren? Isn't it Lipin who was enthroned by his father before?"

It seems that even he has always suspected Yao Ying.

Nanyan told him what had happened before.

Zhu Chengxuan was amazed and sighed: "I, I saw Concubine Li so outstanding during the mourning ceremony of the Imperial Concubine, and my father enthroned her again. He thought she was the last person on the list on Ge Yunli's mansion."

“…”

"I didn't expect that it was Guiren Ling."

“…”

"Although they live in Jingyixuan, I haven't noticed this person at all before."

Nan Yan said: "Don't underestimate your opponent. They will speculate on our ideas and then think deeper than us. If we want to win, we must think deeper than the other party."

“…”

"Your Highness has now become the prince. In the future, there will be many turbulent things waiting for you."

“…”

"This is also going to test Your Highness."

Zhu Chengxuan took a deep breath.

Indeed, as the prince, the situation he faces is even more different.

As a minister and a son, he was loyal, filial, chaste and kind-hearted. After becoming the crown prince, he naturally insisted on these things, but the means could no longer be the same as before.
