Chapter 123: First Talk
"Does the prince have something on his mind?" Xie Fu hesitated to speak.
"The crown prince was arrested, and he and his henchmen were arrested by Jin Yuwei in the Red Jade Tower. Wei Jingyao's face was as pale as water, and he stated the facts plainly.
Xie Fuyao was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that this should be a good thing, why did Wei Jingyao have a sad face, and intuitively told him that all this should be related to the prince's affairs.
"The courtiers should congratulate the prince and take a step closer on the road to succession. ”
But the king was not pleased. Wei Jingyao smiled bitterly.
In the dark, Xie Fuyao couldn't see his face clearly, the only thing he could see was the eyes that were as bright as cold stars, with a cold and inviolable aura.
"Why, is it because of the so-called brotherly love?" Xie Fuyao met Wei Jingyao's eyes, and his eyes were indifferent and transparent.
"This king just doesn't know if what he's doing is right!" Wei Jingyao shook his head slightly and exhaled.
He and the prince have always been just acting on the spot, even if the prince loses the position of the prince, it will not be good, with the queen here, he can still be an idle prince.
"Then why is the prince so confused?"
Xie Fuyao's question was exactly the doubt in Wei Jingyao's heart, why it was uncomfortable, and he couldn't say it clearly, he only felt an inexplicable emotion swirling in his heart.
"If it weren't for this king, the crown prince would still be sitting in the throne of the prince in peace, because I have made all this go to a different trajectory. ”
The voice in Wei Jingyao's throat was dry and trembling, and he slowly recounted the feelings in his heart.
"The prince doesn't need to blame himself, the prince has a perverse temperament, cruel and unkind, this is his own problem, even if there is no prince, there will be other people, as long as the prince does not change one day, the potential danger around him will not subside. ”
Xie Fuyao comforted her, she probably understood Wei Jingyao's melancholy.
"Pull the prince off the horse, can you find a more suitable person to become the prince? Wei Jingyao gradually opened his heart.
"Now that the flood has just receded, and the people are struggling to make a living, if the position of the prince is vacant, it will definitely cause social unrest and shake the foundation of the country. ”
Xie Fuyao was a little surprised, she didn't expect Wei Jingyao to think about this.
In his previous life, he was carried away by love, and he didn't care whether Wei Zheng was suitable to be the king of a country, but for his own preferences, he helped him pull down one prince after another.
In this life, he was born for revenge, and in order to take revenge on Wei Zheng, he chose Wei Jingyao, who was good in all aspects.
took the world as a game and the prince as a chess game to complete the so-called revenge plan, but did not think about what these variables meant to the people and the country.
"The prince will be a good prince. Xie Fuyao smiled, among so many princes, he was probably the only one who would think about this problem.
"Yes, this king doesn't have this self-confidence, Miss Xie, but it is rare to trust me. ”
Wei Jingyao tugged at the corners of his mouth, laughing far-fetched, he took a deep breath and said in a slightly desolate voice, "Maybe this king will become the next prince." ”
"No, you and Wei Jue are not the same kind of people, the prince is pure and good-natured, and he has the world in mind, and he will definitely become a good prince and a good monarch. ”
Xie Fuyao's eyes were firm, he had the compassion that other princes did not have, so Wei Jingyao was destined to be different.
Wei Zheng saved himself in order to seek calculation, just because he could bring him benefits, while Wei Jingyao was different, he saved people only because of his kindness.
"This king knows that he shouldn't think about these things that he has or don't, and he should focus on fighting for the crown prince's position, but those homeless victims, this king can't help but question himself. ”
Wei Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief, and said all the words that were held in his heart, and he was much more happy.
I've been on the road for so long that I don't know why I'm moving forward.
For the sake of Lingyun's ambition in my heart, and for the people of the world, no matter how difficult this road is, I will unswervingly go on.
"Lord Wang, if you asked me this question before, maybe I would have hesitated, but what the prince said today let the courtiers know that their choice is not wrong. ”
Xie Fuyan got up and picked up a replacement candle from the side, the candle flame gradually dispelled the haze, and the room became brighter.
Against the backdrop of the candlelight, Wei Jingyao's face gradually became clearer, and there seemed to be thousands of bright brilliance in his clear eyes.
Palace.
As the night approached, the prince was awakened by the sound of shreddling outside, and he had already had a nightmare, but now he was getting more and more irritable.
No one in the hall came to hold the lamp, and it was dark everywhere, except for the light at the door, which brought a small amount of light.
As the lights approached, the prince saw the face in front of him clearly.
"Your Highness, the emperor summoned you. Father-in-law Chang still had a smiling face and knelt beside the prince.
"Did my father summon me to say anything!" The prince seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said anxiously in his heart.
"This old slave doesn't know, this Your Majesty's mind, how dare I guess as a slave, you, let's go quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait. Father-in-law Chang looked embarrassed.
The prince's eyes were gloomy, and he let Chang Gonggong help him up.
Father-in-law Chang has always followed his father's side, and he knows best what is going on, but now he doesn't say it, which is obviously not a good thing.
The road to Chonghua Hall was not far away, but the prince felt as if he had walked for a long time, and the anxiety and uneasiness along the way tormented his heart.
Looking at the brightly lit Chonghua Hall in front of him, the prince felt that his legs seemed to be weighing a thousand catties, and he couldn't move anymore.
"Your Highness, the old slave will not go in. Father-in-law Chang stood still and didn't move again, the prince nodded, what should be faced still has to be faced.
"The son asks his father to say goodbye. Seeing the bright yellow figure on the dragon chair, the prince knelt straight on the ground.
"Get up. ”
The emperor was silent for a long time, so long that the prince even thought that the emperor would not talk to him again.
"Father, the son was wronged, the son did not form a party for personal gain, the son summoned the minister in the red jade building, but ...... Just for ......"
"In order to discuss a countermeasure to preserve your crown prince's position. The emperor's voice was as deep as a bell.
"Erchen should die, Erchen ......" The prince's mind was confused, and he fell to his knees, as if he was wrong no matter how he explained.
"You have grown up since I was a child, since you were born, you were the prince of the dynasty, I taught you to raise you for a full twenty years, just to let you understand how to be a king, but what about you, what have you done!"
The emperor's voice full of disappointment and grief echoed in the empty and majestic Chonghua Palace.
"It's called to control the floods, but it's actually inferior, and you don't take the people's suffering to heart at all, how do you let me hand over the country to you in the future, do you think you can really sit on the dragon chair with that stone tablet prophecy!"
