Eighth Ye's Savage Concubine

Chapter 283
The emperor sat on the gazebo, with two teacups and a plate of snacks on the stone table in front of him.

Bai Jinqi saw his figure from a distance, and his pace quickened accordingly.

"Your Majesty, the General King is here."

When he came to the emperor's side, Eunuch Wu bowed slightly and told him.

The emperor gave a faint "hmm", picked up the teacup on the stone table, and took a sip.

Eunuch Wu raised his eyes and glanced at him, then quickly stepped back from the pavilion.

He waved to Bai Jinqi, and Bai Jinqi immediately understood, and quickly came to the emperor's side and knelt down, "My son pays his respects to the emperor."

"Excuse me." Slowly put down the teacup in his hand: "Today it's just you and my father and son, don't be cautious, just sit down."

"Thank you, Father."

Bai Jinqi responded, and sat down opposite the emperor.

Seeing him sitting down, a court lady quickly stepped forward and refilled a cup of tea for him.

Boiling water is poured into the cup, and the tea leaves are slowly released.

Bai Jinqi glanced at the teacup in front of him lightly, then looked at the court lady.

It wasn't until the court lady stepped back that he finally set his sights on the emperor: "I don't know why my father, Emperor Xuan'erchen, came here?"

"What do you think about Li Chu?"

The emperor didn't beat around the bush, and met Bai Jinqi's gaze.

Bai Jinqi had already guessed when Eunuch Wu informed him to come to the imperial garden to meet the saint, that his father's sudden announcement of him must be for the purpose of establishing a heir.

And on the way here, he has already made up a speech.

"Father is in good health, so there is no need to establish a reserve too early. However, I feel that the concerns of the ministers are justified."

"Oh?" The emperor's final voice raised slightly: "Do you agree to establish a reserve as soon as possible?"

"I believe that setting up the crown prince as soon as possible can stabilize the foundation of the country and reassure all ministers. The most important thing is that once the father establishes the crown prince, the princes will give up their hearts as soon as possible to avoid the tragedy of brothers killing each other."

Every word of Bai Jinqi's words makes sense.

The emperor looked at him for a moment, then slowly looked away from him: "Then who do you think is the candidate for the crown prince?"

"This matter is related to the future of the Gulan Kingdom, and I dare not speculate."

"I just want to hear your opinion. You can talk about it casually. I forgive you for your innocence."

Hearing this, Bai Jinqi nodded slightly: "My son thinks that the eighth younger brother is the most suitable candidate no matter in terms of intelligence, strategy, or people's aspirations. But..."

Frowning slightly, Bai Jinqi paused on purpose, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, the emperor raised his hand slightly: "But it's okay to say."

"However, the eighth brother has a problem with his legs. The position of the crown prince must never be handed over to him. Otherwise, it will definitely attract criticism from the court, ridicule and covetousness from the enemy country."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Bai Jinqi looked at the emperor without blinking.

He was not surprised to see the emperor's eyes drooping slightly and his face gradually darkening.

The royal father has always been unwilling to establish a heir, partly because of the death of the first prince, and partly because of Bai Jinchu.

Bai Jinchu was deeply loved by his father, and since the death of the first prince, his father intended to make him the crown prince.

But unfortunately, he didn't have that life. He was seriously injured in a battle and became disabled ever since.

In this way, even if the emperor dotes on him again, it is impossible to ignore the ministers and hand over the Gulan Kingdom to a crippled hand.

Under Bai Jinqi's gaze, the emperor slowly suppressed the emotions in his eyes.
