Chapter 396 Late Night
It was late at night, and the emperor was leaning on the soft couch, still not intending to go to bed.

Fu Lu stood by, although his eyes were stingy, but he didn't dare to react in the slightest.

"Let your apprentice guard, you go and rest." The emperor's voice came suddenly, and Fu Lu quickly saluted.

"You haven't rested yet, how dare the slave go? Let the slave guard you?" He has apprentices. After all, he is old, and some things are hard to do by himself, so he entrusts the apprentices to do them.

In this way, I am more at ease.

"Forget it, I've also rested. Although I say I'm not old, I know in my heart that I am old." Standing up, the emperor walked towards the inner room.

Fu Lu hurriedly followed, "The emperor is in his prime, how old is he?"

"You will coax me..." The emperor sneered, and entered the inner room, but he was not in a hurry to rest, but sat at the table, "Bring the letter from the concubine during the day, and I will read it again."

The letters and tokens were all brought back to Chengqian Palace by the emperor.

Although he didn't know why the emperor wanted to see it again, Fu Lu still responded and went to get it.

Put the letter aside first, take out the token, and the emperor strokes it carefully.

"I just took a look at this thing today, and I knew it really belonged to the Tian family. After all, I gave it to the Tian family back then."

Putting down the token, he picked up the letter and asked Fu Lu to put a few more oil lamps in front of him, and read it again by the light.

For a moment, many emotions flashed in his eyes.

these letters...

I didn't expect it to still be there after a few years.

"Say, should I ask the Su family to overturn the case?" Putting the letters away, the emperor spoke softly, as if talking to himself, and seemed to be really asking Fu Lu.

"Your majesty, my slave... I don't know." How dare he say this?

As usual, he might have guessed a thing or two about the emperor's mind, but he really couldn't guess this matter.

"If the Su family overturns the case, I'm afraid it won't be long before the matter of the Yu family will also be found out."

"Lao Qi...he is the direct prince, I thought... I don't know how I will face the queen after a hundred years."

"Lao Ba is reckless, he is definitely not the choice of the prince, Lao Jiu... the influence of the Tian family has grown too much, if he becomes the prince, I am afraid that his relatives will gain power."

"As for Eleven, that child looks similar to Lao Ba, but he is better than Lao Ba. I don't know if Concubine Yao made him hide his clumsiness, or he just wanted to."

"If the Su family overturns the case, Xiaowu is Eleven's biological sister, and the son-in-law is Eleven's brother-in-law, it means that the Su family has become Eleven's backing..."

After the letters were all loaded, the emperor's voice also stopped at this moment.

Fu Lu stood aside, constantly thinking about the meaning of the emperor's words, but he was not sure.

He felt that His Majesty the Seventh Highness was what the emperor cared most about, but...

The Eighth Prince is obviously not successful, the Ninth Prince and the Eleventh Prince... Obviously the Ninth Prince with the support of the Tian family has an advantage, but the Tian family is too powerful and a threat.

"What are you thinking?" The emperor suddenly looked at him, and Fu Lu quickly fell to his knees, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Many people are thinking about my position, but only I can decide who to give it to, not whoever says it should be given to whom."

"I'm tired, go down." Waving his hand, the emperor got up and walked to the couch, ready to sleep.

Fu Lu quickly responded, kowtowed, and backed out.

It wasn't until he stood outside the main hall and a gust of wind blew past that he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked to his residence.

In the hall, the emperor was lying on the bed, but he hadn't fallen asleep for a long time. His thoughts drifted away, and he returned to the time when Queen Yu was still there...
