After talking about the child, Yan Lie changed the topic and said, "I just heard Li Quan talk about Concubine Li, and now you are in charge of the affairs in the palace, right?"

"Back to my father's words, yes." Bao Yun didn't know why Yan Lie asked like this, but she still answered truthfully.

Yan Lie's face was expressionless, and his voice was quiet: "This management of the harem is generally a matter of the palace concubine, if it is not the palace concubine, only the crown princess can have this right."

Baoyun didn't know what Yan Lie meant, so she couldn't help but bow her head, didn't dare to be careless, got up and knelt down, and explained: "Erchen didn't covet the position of the crown princess, and Erchen was also worried about the safety of his father, so he agreed to His Royal Highness King Liang and temporarily came to the palace to take care of his father." Erchen handed over the matter of restraining the concubine to Zheng Xiurong. ”

Yan Lie didn't say anything, and then asked Wei Rong, "What about you?"

This headless and brainless sentence, Wei Rong understood what Yan Lie wanted to ask, knelt beside Baoyun, and said, "Erchen does not covet the position of the crown prince."

Yan Lie didn't speak, but looked at them quietly for a long time. There was silence in the dormitory, and you could hear a sound even if you dropped a needle.

Bao Yun's heart fluttered, and she wasn't sure if Yan Lie would blame her for being arrogant. Although Yan Lie favors Wei Rong, she is only Wei Rong's concubine, and Yan Lie will not blame her if she is not sure.

She can't say that Yan Chen asked her to do this now, no matter who made her do this, it was she who finally decided to enter the palace, and it was not Yan Chen who forced her to enter the palace.

And in the end, it wasn't Yan Lie who asked her to do this.

She couldn't help but glance at Wei Rong.

Wei Rong's heart was also a little uneasy, and he didn't know why Yan Lie suddenly asked like this, why he had such an attitude.

He bit his lip, and just as he was about to intercede for Baoyun, he heard Yan Lie's voice: "But I have already intended you to be the prince."

This was naturally said to Wei Rong.

Wei Rong and Bao Yun were very surprised. Baoyun knew that Yan Lie favored Wei Rong, and Wei Rong also had the ability to be the prince, but she didn't expect Yan Lie to say it in such a tone in such a situation.

Wei Rong raised his head and looked at Yan Lie, almost without thinking, he said, "Thank you for your trust, but Erchen feels that he is not the most suitable candidate."

Wei Rong's words also scared Bao Yun, Wei Rong refused so strongly, and I don't know if Yan Lie would be angry.

Yan Lie didn't get angry, but chuckled, and his voice softened a lot: "Let's get up and talk."

Wei Rong helped Bao Yun to stand up, Bao Yun was still trembling, and she didn't know what would happen next.

"So what do you think? Why not? Yan Lie asked.

Wei Rong looked up at Yan Lie, his eyes were clear, without a trace of concealment, and said: "Because Erchen has never thought about that position, no matter whether Erchen is surnamed Wei or Yan, Erchen has never thought about that position." That position can have supreme power, but in order to sit in this supreme position, you need to give up a lot of things. ”

"Erchen is unwilling to wronged himself, nor is he willing to wronged Baoyun, and he asks his father to forgive him."

Wei Rong said very seriously, not pretending to shirk.

In fact, Yan Lie also knew what Wei Rong's answer would be, his own son, he didn't understand, who else knew.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Since you think so, then I won't force you."

Wei Rong was a little surprised, he didn't want Yan Lie to agree to him so easily. When he turned his head and saw Bao Yun, he seemed to understand why Yan Lie didn't force him.

He had heard a little about Yan Lie and his biological mother. If Yan Lie was not the emperor, his biological mother might not have died young.

As an emperor, there are more helpless things than anyone else, and he can't even keep the people he loves, which should be an eternal pain in Yan Lie's heart.

Yan Lie didn't want him to become such a person, and he didn't want Baoyun to end up like Xia Wanyun.

Thinking of this, he gave Yan Lie a salute and said, "Thank you to your father."

Yan Lie smiled, but there was still some helplessness and pity in this smile. No matter where it is, Wei Rong is very suitable to be the prince.

It's just a pity that Wei Rong is such a loving person. In this position where ruthlessness is most needed, a person like Wei Rong will feel that there are constraints everywhere.

He didn't want Wei Rong to become a trapped beast in a cage, and he didn't want Bao Yun to end up badly.

So he can only fulfill Wei Rong and Baoyun and reconsider this prince candidate.

"Although you are not the crown prince, I hope that you will still fulfill your responsibilities as a brother in the future and try your best to assist the prince." Yan Lie admonished.

Wei Rong responded solemnly.

After saying so many words, Yan Lie was also a little tired, waved his hand, and said, "I'm tired, if there is anything you can discuss." Let King Liang come to see me early tomorrow morning. ”

Bao Yun and Wei Rong glanced at each other, but didn't say anything more, and quietly retreated.

After they all left, Li Quan glanced at Yan Lie and asked cautiously: "Didn't the emperor already set up a crown prince, why did he still ask King Qi?"

Yan Lie smiled bitterly and said, "I knew that Princess Qi was in charge of the harem, and I thought they had this heart, but it turned out that I thought about it a lot. I knew that the King of Qi was unwilling to be the crown prince and the emperor, but I still didn't give up. ”

Li Quan smiled and persuaded: "There are three princes in the emperor, they are all the pride of the sky, no matter who is appointed as the crown prince, they are all the same."

That's what he said, but Yan Lie's favorite is Wei Rong.

"Now it's all about this, I don't want to force King Qi. And with King Qi's ability, if he doesn't want to be this emperor, even if he is reluctant, he can always have his own way to shirk it. King Liang's temperament has also changed now, and there is also King Jin. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Lie's eyes were relieved: "It's okay, as long as the three of them are always of the same heart, no matter who is the crown prince, Qi Sheng is good."

"What the emperor said is that the three princes live in harmony, which is Qi Sheng's greatest blessing." Li Quan said with a smile.

Yan Lie sighed, and the regret in his heart before was also relieved, and said, "Yes, this is Qi Sheng's blessing."

Bao Yun and Wei Rong walked out of the dormitory, and Bao Yun patted her chest and said, "Father Fang asked like this, it really scared me."

Wei Rong smiled at her and explained softly: "Actually, my father is just testing me, if I have the heart to covet the crown prince, my father will be happy."

Bao Yun didn't understand this very well at first glance, but after thinking for a while, she understood.
