Fu Ciyi was two men left the palace and boarded the same carriage. The car went to the palace. It was very quiet inside the car and the father and son ignored each other. After entering the palace and heading to the emperor's bedroom, several princes who were standing at the door shivering in the cold wind saw Long Yi coming and came forward to greet him. "Uncle Jin." "Uncle Jin." "Uncle Jin." The princes bowed in greeting one after another. Only Long Yaodong asked directly: "Why did Uncle Jin get here?" "You are here to take care of the sick, so I am here to take care of the sick as well." "Then the nephew will accompany the uncle in." Long Yaodong raised his hand.
"No need." Long Yi refused and exposed him directly, "You have already seen your father, so just wait outside obediently and don't make your father angry again." Worried about what others might notice, Long Yaodong could only nod: "Uncle, please." Long Yi said "hmm" lightly and took Fu Ciyi into the bedroom. Eunuch Song bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty." "How is my royal brother?" Long Yi took a few quick steps. "The emperor is awake now and is waiting for the prince." said Eunuch Song. Long Yi walked towards the bedroom. At this moment, the emperor had his eyes closed and Yan Funing was giving him acupuncture on his head. Hearing footsteps, the emperor opened his eyes and asked, "Prince Jin is here?" "Yes, I am here." Long Yi said bluntly, "The guys at the door are all thoughtful. They are still waiting in the freezing cold. They probably think that my brother..." The words are not clearly stated. The emperor heard it and said with a smile: "I know that too. What do you think we should do?" Long Yi looked at Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing: "Have you had dinner?" The young couple said, "No." Eunuch Song said ashamedly, "It's all my fault. I was so worried about the emperor's condition that I left Master Fu and Madam hungry." Long Yi turned his gaze towards Eunuch Song and said, "Serve the meal, and specifically ask for a few dishes that my brother likes." "Old slave, I understand." Eunuch Song stepped back and told the young eunuch to go to the imperial kitchen. When a group of eunuchs came over with food boxes, a prince stopped them and asked, "Who is the meal for?" The young eunuch said, "Your Highness, of course it's what the Emperor wants to eat."
The second prince and the third prince looked at each other when they heard this. Long Yaodong even thought to himself that his father might be well again and even wanted to have a meal. The food was brought into the bedroom, and the emperor asked Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing to eat inside: "You guys eat, I can't eat any more." The couple had no choice but to agree, sit down silently and eat quietly. The emperor raised his hand and asked Eunuch Song to move a chair and ordered Long Yi to sit next to him. Long Yi sat down, but he didn't know what the emperor was up to, so he asked directly: "My brother, why did you come to see me?" The emperor said nothing, just quietly watching the young couple sitting by the window eating quietly, and then murmured: "My place has always been quiet, and recently they have been the only ones to come and keep me company." "Wen Yu is a good kid. Tell me the truth about the fire that year. Was it you who did it?" "Brother, why are you asking this too?" "I have to ask. If I don't, I won't be able to leave with peace of mind." "It was not done by my brother." Long Yi didn't want to say more. The emperor nodded: "Then I am relieved." After that, he continued to watch the young couple eat. When they were almost done eating, the emperor ordered again: "Although it is cold outside, I still want you to go out for a walk. I have something to say to your father." The young couple had no choice but to agree. The two of them left the bedroom, and Caiyu, Lengfeng and Lengying followed them out. In order to keep an eye on Long Yaodong, the couple only walked around the bedroom. Seeing that they all came out and no imperial physician was called, Long Yaodong was confused for a moment. He thought that his father was fine, but why did Long Yi come? He wanted to know this. But he didn't dare to ask Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing, for fear of getting beaten again. I had no choice but to stand in the corridor, thinking hard. In the bedroom of the palace, the emperor asked Eunuch Song to bring writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and he wrote an edict himself. "What did your royal brother write?" Long Yi went to take a look curiously. "Let Wen Yu destroy Long Yaodong's branch in Longfeng. The reason I got sick last night was because Long Yaodong forced me to abdicate. Plus, he has done so many evil things. It's not too much to torture him to death." The emperor said this with gnashing teeth. He used even more force when he wrote. Long Yi nodded and sat back in his chair. After a moment, the emperor put down his pen and gave the edict to Eunuch Song: "To prevent criticism from the world, it is best for you to read the edict when Long Feng leads his men to rebel." Eunuch Song took it with both hands: "I obey your order!"
After writing the edict, the emperor leaned back heavily on the chair as if he had spent half of his energy. "Brother, why are you doing this? If Long Feng wants to rebel, no matter which other prince succeeds to the throne, he will not be forgiven easily." Why should we use our last bit of energy to deal with Long Feng and Long Yaodong, father and son? The emperor waved his hand and said weakly: "You and I are brothers. Although we are brothers, there is a huge age gap between us." "That's right. You are the eldest and I am the youngest." Long Yi smiled. "To put it bluntly, when I was born, you were old enough to give birth to me." "Isn't it?" The emperor also laughed. "How dare you fight with me? I am your youngest brother. I remember that you liked me the most. You always hugged me and teased me among all your brothers. I never thought that the brother who treated me the best in the past would end up fighting with me the most fiercely." Now that things have been said, there is nothing that cannot be said at this moment. Say what you want to say. "For the throne, age is not a problem. How could I give up the throne to you because you are young? Similarly, you did not give up the throne to me easily because I am old." "It's all in the past, why am I bringing this up now?" Long Yi shook his head in self-mockery, and added, "You should take a good rest. Leave the affairs of state to the special people to handle. Just take care of your health and don't think too much about other things." "No, if I don't tell you tonight, I'm afraid I won't have the chance anymore." The emperor said calmly, "Based on what happened in the next few days, I will leave. I can't bear to leave this country now..." Long Yi sighed and asked directly: "Brother Royal called me here, do you want me to support the new emperor?" "Just listen to me and I'll tell you slowly." "Brother, please speak!" "When you and I were competing for the throne, your voice was high, but since I am the eldest son, my voice is naturally not low either. Besides you and me, the second, third, fourth, and fifth sons are even more powerful." Long Yi nodded: "Indeed, my father has many sons and heirs, so there are naturally many people vying for the throne." "But you are young, and you don't know many things." "what?" "At that time, the second, third, and fourth brothers all attacked you. Do you know who helped you solve the problem?" "Who?" Long Yi asked solemnly, "Could it be you?" The emperor smiled and said, "It was me. If it weren't for me, you would have died in their hands long ago. You were only five years old at that time. What kind of person could you be at the age of five? Even if they let you sit on the throne, they would still kill you and say that you died young." Long Yi was startled and murmured, "Brother..."
