He couldn't hide his thoughts well. "Yu'er, do you have something on your mind?"

Yu'er shook her head and didn't want to say more, just eating with her head bored. Xuan'er and Yu'er are little girls, and they don't have much to eat, so they shout that they can't eat and want to go to the yard to play, and there are only two people left on the table, Zhan Meixiang and Yu'er.

The atmosphere was less Xuan'er, and it was suddenly much quieter, Zhan Meixiang ate the rice in the bowl, obviously she didn't have any appetite, and there was still a lot of rice left in it.

"Mother!" Yu'er shouted first.

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhan Meixiang was thinking about her future plans, and was called by Yu'er, first startled, and then came back to look at Yu'er.

Since moving into the cold palace, Yu'er has been much more silent than before. Especially the recent desperate sword practice, Zhan Meixiang is a little worried about whether Yu'er's deep meaning can be endured, but Yu'er's temper is so similar to Dongfang Che, Zhan Meixiang knows that it is useless to say anything. So I had to secretly let Ying not let Yu'er work too hard. Ying is now Yu'er's master, and Yu'er can still listen to what she says.

"Recently...... The retainers heard some rumors, and they said that the emperor was ...... The emperor has died! Yu'er said with some hesitation.

Zhan Meixiang sighed secretly, she knew that the news would reach the ears of the children sooner or later, but she didn't expect that she deliberately didn't let the children out, but it still spread so quickly.

Looking at Yu'er's eyes looking at herself, although she desperately pretended that it didn't matter, she still couldn't hide the only hope left in her heart, she was still a child in the end, Zhan Meixiang put down the chopsticks in her hand, and said seriously: "It's not important to have rumors or anything, what you need to do now is to grow up well, instead of listening to the gossip outside." ”

Zhan Meixiang didn't want the rumors outside to crush the two children who were not yet adults. After all, they are all young.

Yu'er nodded, knowing a little bit of the truth of the rumors in her heart. The mother is reluctant to answer this question head-on, so what she is worried about is still true.

He secretly clenched his fists, he had to become stronger and more powerful, so that he could protect the people around him.

In the next few days, the cold palace was still quiet as usual, but Zhan Meixiang was still keenly aware of some subtle changes, and the evasive eyes of the palace maids who came and went told her that it must not be quiet outside the cold palace.

She also guessed that Dongfang Che and the Queen Mother died at the same time, Yu'er had just been deposed, and now the candidate for the throne is vacant, the prince in the palace, the marquis on both sides of the northwest, which is not spying on the throne, the major forces are incompatible, everyone wants to pick the fat of the Eastern Kingdom, and the person who hinders them from picking this fat is undoubtedly Yu'er.

According to the national rules of the Eastern Kingdom, if the first emperor died suddenly and did not leave a will, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and if there was no prince, the eldest son succeeded to the throne. Although Yu'er has been deposed as the crown prince, he is still Dongfang Che's eldest son, those who want the throne, and don't want to be crowned as a usurper for power, so only if Yu'er dies, they have more reason to compete for the throne, but in this case, Yu'er's situation becomes very dangerous......

Zhan Meixiang looked at the figure of Yu'er and Ying practicing swords in the courtyard, her hand tightly grasped the tiger talisman on her chest, and her eyes became more and more worried.
