Chapter 242: Who is the Prince?

Wei Jingyao stared at the door, there was no extra emotion in his eyes, and he had already imagined all the situations in his heart.

If Wei Jue returns to the position of the crown prince, what awaits him, whether Wei Zheng will be willing to be a courtier, and whether the capital will set off a bloody storm.

What did his father abolish the crown prince in the first place, did he want to let himself and King Xuan fight each other, consume each other, and then give him a clean court.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu...... His Royal Highness the King of Chu ......"

Wei Jingyao retracted his thoughts, and in a place where people couldn't see, his palms were clenched into fists, looking at Gonggong Liu in front of him, Wei Jingyao's eyes were full of doubts.

"Your Highness, the emperor told you to go in. Gonggong Liu said with a pleasant face, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, why are the princes' ears not very good today.

Wei Jingyao looked back at Wei Zheng, his face was not much better than his own, and it could be seen that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

Looking at the empty palace, Wei Jingyao knelt on his knees and made a big salute in a proper manner, no matter what the result was after today, he should not let his father have any worries.

"See your father's father. ”

"Get up, come to me, I have something to say to you. The emperor reluctantly straightened up, wanting to see Wei Jingyao more clearly.

Wei Jingyao stepped forward, a little puzzled, there was no figure of King Qi here, but King Qi didn't seem to go out just now.

"Father, second emperor, brother?"

"Next door, I'm going to see the Queen. The emperor coughed lightly twice, pretending to be majestic, "Why, are you still worried that I will harm him." ”

"Father is angry, son-in-law doesn't mean this, you love the second emperor brother so much, how can it be. Wei Jingyao gently patted the emperor's back and helped him calm down.

What do you mean by loving Wei Jue, don't I love you? The little one who has no conscience, the emperor snorted coldly, and pointed to the shelf behind the curtain.

"Do you see that shelf, open the drawer on the third floor of the second row. ”

Wei Jingyao's heart was full of doubts, and he didn't understand what the emperor wanted to do, but he still walked over obediently.

"Second row, third floor. Wei Jingyao pulled hard, but the drawer didn't move at all, "Father, this ...... Can't open. ”

"Why, you try again. The emperor's eyes were deep, and he looked at Wei Jingyao with his body propped up.

"Father, could you be mistaken, or Erchen called Gonggong Liu in, what do you want, let him help you find it. ”

Wei Jingyao looked at the drawer in front of him, and it didn't look like he could open it.

"Father is old, and his brain is not good, you turn the vase at your left foot. ”

The drawer opened suddenly, and Wei Jingyao looked at the contents in a daze, it was a finely carved wooden box, and there was a bright gold lock on top of the box.

In the side hall of Yong'an Palace, Xie Fuyao paced back and forth in the room, and his unsteady pace betrayed her mood at this time.

Ziyun saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, but he was helpless, and he couldn't do anything about the current situation, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Xie Fuyao stopped his steps, leaned at the door and pricked up his ears to listen carefully, and saw two little eunuchs whispering through the crack in the door.

"Why are you here!"

"It's not up to you to hide for a while. The chubby little eunuch gasped and lowered his voice.

"What's the matter? what's going on outside?" The little eunuch was shocked, and unconsciously raised his voice, for fear of disturbing Xie Fuyao in the room, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Don't you know that the emperor is unusually today, and called all the princes to the palace, and just now the prime minister and the adults with heads and faces in the court came over. ”

"Your Majesty, he doesn't want to become a prince. The little eunuch exclaimed.

"I think it's like, when I came over just now, I just saw the emperor call King Qi in. "The fat eunuch is a mysterious secret way.

"King Qi, isn't that the abolished prince? The emperor only called him in?"

"Who can say for sure about the royal affairs, after all, the king of Qi was cultivated by the emperor himself, and the emperor is naturally more kind to him than to other princes. "The fat eunuch said the head of the way.

"Maybe the emperor will soften his heart and return to his position as the crown prince, but won't the queen also come out of Qingning Palace during this time, maybe this day is really going to change. ”

"You keep quiet, Princess Chu is still inside. The little eunuch made a silent gesture and raised the door vigilantly.

"It seems that this Princess Chu and Princess Xuan do not have the fate of the mother. ”

"What's more, I heard that Princess Qi has always looked down on Princess Chu, if King Qi returns to the throne of the prince, I am afraid that this Princess Chu inside will not have good fruits to eat. ”

The fat eunuch was clear about the quarrel between the two that day, so he made these remarks today.

"Princess Qi is notoriously arrogant, Princess Chu is afraid that she will be in trouble if she provokes her......"

Xie Fuyao couldn't listen to a word of the latter words, and her attention only stayed on what the little eunuch said just now, King Qi and Prince Li.

Could it be that the emperor was afraid that King Chu and King Xuan would kill each other, and really wanted to make King Qi the crown prince, so that all the original deployments would be burned.

Although the crown prince of King Qi has been abolished, his foundation in the court is still there, and the queen mother is the head of the East Palace, even if someone criticizes, he doesn't dare to say anything.

With the edict of succession, everything will become a foregone conclusion, not to mention that with the Pei family here, other armies will have scruples.

Xie Fuyao's mind was in chaos, it was hard for her to imagine what Wei Jue would become when he ascended the throne and the entire Jiang Kingdom, a person like him who was greedy for pleasure was not worthy of sitting in that position at all.

But now that he is trapped here, he can't do anything at all, and this sense of powerlessness makes Xie Fuyao close to collapse.

The sky outside darkened little by little, and Xie Fuyao's heart was like the sun, sinking into the darkness.

The footsteps outside the door became clearer and clearer, and Ziyun looked at the door vigilantly, protecting Xie Fuyao behind him.

Xie Fuyao raised his head from the crook of his arm and looked at the person in front of him, the cold moonlight cast a mottled shadow on him, pulling his figure long, making it impossible to see his face.

Wei Jingyao closed the door and walked towards Xie Fuyao step by step, the candle flame in the room flickered and dimmed, reflecting his cold face.

Xie Fuyao tightly grasped the sleeve of the person in front of him, as if he had caught a reassuring plank on the uncertain sea.

"Ah Shao......" Wei Jingyao's low voice broke the silence of the room.

Xie Fuyao couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and threw himself into Wei Jingyao's arms.

"Don't say it, don't say anything, it's good if you're safe, I just want you to be safe. ”
