Chapter 919: Shi Family Descendants The emperor's face darkened: "You are only the imperial physician. It is a taboo to ask about the selection of the crown prince.""I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Old Ding kowtowed. "That's enough." The emperor raised his hand, "Get up." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Old Ding stood up. "Go and tell Chi An to come to the palace so I can have a few words with him." "Yes, Your Majesty." Mr. Ding stepped down. When he arrived at the Princess's Mansion, he went straight to Long Chi'an. Long Chi'an saw that he looked unhappy and came in a hurry, so he asked, "What's the urgent matter?" Elder Ding then recounted what he had said in the emperor's bedroom and apologized, "I was anxious and asked questions I shouldn't have asked." Long Chi'an coughed twice, gathered his cloak, and said in a gentle voice: "You are wrong for two things. First, you asked about the new crown prince. On this point, you shouldn't directly ask the emperor uncle whether he wants to give me the crown prince position. Second, you mentioned Fu Ning. You shouldn't mention Fu Ning as my medicine."
"But what I said is the truth, Your Majesty. Second Miss Yan is indeed your medicine." "You mentioned this, what do you want from your uncle the Emperor? Do you want him to order Fu Ciyi and Fu Ning to divorce again?" "I..." Old Ding choked. "It is impossible for them to divorce now. Uncle Long Yi and the Yan family are incompatible. Under this circumstance, Fu Ciyi and Fu Ning have not separated. Therefore, this is an extremely difficult thing to do." "But Your Majesty, if you become the new emperor, wouldn't it be a simple matter to want Miss Fu Ning? Furthermore, if the emperor intends to make you the crown prince, he must solve the problem of your illness. If your illness becomes a stumbling block to becoming the crown prince, the key to solving the problem lies in Miss Yan. In my opinion, as long as Miss Yan is by Your Majesty's side, all problems will not be problems." The prince recovered from his illness and successfully became the crown prince, and later became the new emperor. Everything is fine. "Okay." Long Chi'an stood up from the couch, "Follow me into the palace." "Yes, Your Majesty." After walking a few steps, Long Chi'an reminded: "Mr. Ding, don't say anything in front of the emperor's uncle later." "I understand." The two entered the palace. When they arrived at the bedroom, the emperor was drinking medicine under the care of another imperial physician. "Achi is here." The emperor's eyes swept towards the door. "Yes, uncle the emperor." Long Chi'an clenched his fist, coughed softly, and took a few quick steps. "I heard you're still coughing. Is your physical condition not getting better?" The emperor pointed to the chair beside him and motioned him to sit down. Long Chi'an nodded respectfully and sat down politely: "It's always the same. I don't feel like moving when it's cold. It was okay when I was in Jinzhou before. After all, that place is warmer than the capital, and it doesn't snow as frequently as in the capital."
The emperor waved his hand to let the imperial doctors leave, and glanced at Old Ding, motioning him to leave as well. Eunuch Song then bowed and retreated with several imperial doctors, leaving the room and closing the door. The emperor then said, "Achi, I believe you already know about the dethronement of the crown prince. What do you think?" Long Chi'an said: "Long Yaodong has committed so many crimes that it is only a matter of time before he is deposed." The emperor got straight to the point: "I have no biological children, so I have been training you as the crown prince. Nowadays, the royal family has too much power, and I am afraid that if you become the crown prince, I will not be able to control them in the future. I am even more afraid that after you ascend the throne, your throne will be taken away by others before you can sit firmly on it." Let’s not talk about how long Long Chi’an can live in this physical condition. Don't let the person die before leaving any offspring. In this case, why would he pass the throne to him? Long Chi'an said with a smile: "My uncle is the emperor, and the royal family has too much power, so why not abolish it." When the emperor heard this, he knew that he still wanted to be the crown prince. Yes, who in the world doesn’t want to be emperor if there is a chance? Seeing the emperor's expression, Long Chi'an quickly changed his words: "But a nephew is still a nephew. My uncle gave me my surname, and the royal family is already dissatisfied. If my uncle makes me the crown prince, I'm afraid the opposition will never be suppressed." The emperor then nodded and said: "Here is the problem. Although I have given you the surname of the emperor, you are a descendant of the Shi family after all." To put it bluntly, will the Long family's kingdom be transferred to the Shi family in the future? Then after he dies, he will have no face to face the ancestors of the Long family. He had never thought about this problem before. Now that I feel that time is running out, I think things through more thoroughly. He cannot become the sinner of the Long family. As soon as Long Chi'an understood, he immediately expressed his opinion: "My nephew never dared to hope for that position. My uncle gave me my surname because he had high hopes for me. I am very grateful." The emperor nodded: "I'm glad you understand." Now that the matter has been brought to light, he no longer has the qualifications to be the crown prince, so Long Chi'an simply asked, "May I ask, uncle, who can be the new crown prince?" "Well..." The emperor paused and said with a smile, "I haven't thought about it yet." "Uncle, have you felt better after taking the medicine?" "Better now." The emperor adjusted his posture on the couch. "By the way, I will order the young lady from the Fu family to treat your illness several more times." "Thank you, uncle." Long Chi'an was startled. What the emperor's uncle meant was that he could no longer have any illusions about Fu Ning. "I know you like her, but she saved me before, and I cannot do anything to separate us." "Uncle, my nephew does treat her differently, not to mention that she and I have such a connection..." He is unwilling to accept this. The emperor waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, you can leave."
"Yes." Long Chi'an stood up and coughed, then left the bedroom in a moment. Walking with Mr. Ding in the snow, his cough became more and more severe. "Your Majesty, what does the Emperor say?" Mr. Ding helped him calm down while holding an umbrella for him. "No matter whether my health is good or bad, no matter whether Fu Ning comes to my side or not, I will not be the candidate for the crown prince, all because I am the descendant of the Shi family." Long Chi'an looked up at the sky blankly, and began to feel confused for a moment. Elder Ding couldn't believe it: "This is the reason, but the emperor clearly didn't think so in the past." "Yes, this king was also surprised." "Your Highness, you have done so much for this, and have been keeping a low profile for so long. The strength behind you has long surpassed that of several princes. You are just waiting for an opportunity..." "Don't worry." There will always be opportunities. With just those few wimps, who can fight him? "That's good." Seeing that there was no one around, Long Chi'an lowered his voice and said, "Remember, no matter which prince the emperor's uncle appoints as the crown prince, no matter which prince he passes the throne to, we must remain calm and never reveal our thoughts." "I understand." Old Ding responded softly. Long Chi'an turned his head and glanced at the bedroom. Uncle Emperor, oh uncle, you should never, ever, instill in me the idea that the Long family's kingdom will belong to me in the future as soon as I was born. Now they say that I am not a member of the Long family, but a descendant of the Shi family. The idea of ascending the throne has long been deeply rooted in my heart and cannot be changed. In that case, let’s just wait and see. - Beauty Zhuangzi. In the courtyard, the sound of interrogation and questioning began. Some rebels took swords and rushed towards the guards, and soon the sound of swords clashing was heard.
