Chapter 63: The Throne
"It's a long story, can you invite our mother and son to get in the car and sit down?"
Xue Mingfei replied, also afraid that the conversation would be inconvenient, Su Junbao nodded, and after getting into the car, Xue Mingfei looked around before showing a slight smile.
"Master Su, your car doesn't seem to be an ordinary person's car!" She said.
The exterior is simple, but the interior is very comfortable and luxurious, with it, even in the journey, it will not be too hard, but now there are too many people and it feels a little tight, Xiaoxi and the children are crowded in a corner, looking at the children of the same age next to the woman.
It was a boy, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, who stayed by his mother's side, silent, and looked a little timid and reserved.
And Xue Mingfei also saw the moon slave beside Su Junbao, she couldn't imagine that there was such a beautiful and sexy woman in the car, and she was even more sure that the other party was not an ordinary person.
Su Junbao only smiled, but didn't answer, the other party would ask, and he was not surprised.
"Okay, this has to start with today's Fenglan Country!"
She pondered for a moment and organized her words: "People know that the old monarch of the Fenglan Kingdom today has three adult princes, and there is also a minor little prince, and that is my child. ”
She looked at her child, showed love, and continued: "These four princes were all born to different concubines, and they all had their own families behind them, and among all the princes, we were the most rich and powerful. Su Gongzi, you may not know what it means to have no status and no back in a place like the palace, it is a residence and a power field, full of power dumping in the open and secret battles, no status and no back, you are destined to be bullied. ”
Speaking of this, she sighed, it seemed that her usual life was not easy.
"Of course I do!" Su Junbao said in his heart.
After sighing, Concubine Xue Ming continued: "Although we don't have any background in the palace, but fortunately, with the love of the monarch, our mother and son still have a place, otherwise, even a powerful palace maid can give us a little bit of a look, not to mention other concubines and princes."
"Although Your Majesty loves him, but as he gets older, the biggest problem arises, that is, the position of the prince has not been determined for a long time, except for our mother and son, the other three princes and the forces behind him can be said to be fighting to the death. And His Majesty doesn't care about their comings and goings, and he has never determined the candidate. ”
"Four years ago, the monarch was seriously ill, knowing that his time was short, and he was worried that after his death, our mother and son would be poisoned by others, so he used the excuse to demote us out of the palace and to my son's distant and bitter fiefdom.
"But a few months ago, the news broke our peaceful life, Your Majesty died, and until his death, my son never saw his father again. Your Majesty died, and he did not set the position of the prince until his death, this huge power vacancy is destined to cause a storm, but Your Majesty has left his hand behind and handed over the position of the new monarch to the First Central Empire to decide, Su Gongzi, do you know this First Central Empire? ”
Xue Mingfei asked, and Su Junbao nodded.
Seeing him nodding, Concubine Xue Ming continued: "In the Shenzhou Continent, a country like ours is only a small subordinate country, and the real ruler is the First Central Empire, and all the subject countries are controlled by the First Empire, which is a huge empire that spans the entire Shenzhou Continent, and has the right to decide everything that a subject country has. The decision it made, no one can disobey, and no one dares to disobey, I think this is also His Majesty's original intention, he knows that no matter who he chooses, after his death, the court will definitely cause a turmoil, and only the decision of the Central Empire will make those princes and ministers dare not act rashly, so that the Fenglan Kingdom will smoothly transition to the hands of the next monarch. ”
"And in his decision to stay, the new king will be chosen among the four princes, including my son, and although no one thinks we have any hope of winning, according to the law, we are back."
"And you have to come back, don't you?" Su Junbao asked suddenly.
Xue Mingfei looked at him, revealing a hint of surprise, this young man seemed to be no stranger to the struggle for power.
She nodded and said: "Yes, we must come back, and we must also fight for the position of this monarch, although we don't want to fight for anything, we just want to live quietly, but the world often does not go as people wish, since ancient times, born in the family of emperors, the struggle for power is the most cruel and ruthless, although we have been deposed, but once the new monarch takes the throne, they will not let us go, they will not allow their new rule, there is still a threat!" ”
"Don't hide it from Su Gongzi, in fact, I have two children, this is my second child, if my eldest son is still alive, he should be as old as you, but he didn't survive and died in an accident."
While speaking, Concubine Xue Ming looked sad and remembered the bad past, Su Jun observed her carefully at the moment, and found that after the dirt on the other party's face went out, although she looked bright and moving, she looked like a noblewoman, but she should be three or four years old, and it should be true.
After Concubine Xue Ming was sad, she suddenly became very resolute, and even gritted her teeth: "My eldest son said that he died in an accident, but I never believe it, although I can't find out the evidence, but I also know who did it, the viciousness of these people is not something ordinary people can imagine, maybe it is because His Majesty saw through this early and deposed us from the palace that we have survived to this day, but now, as you can see, they still refuse to let us go, and send killers to intercept and kill, and do not let us go back to fight for the throne." ”
"In this case, I can only risk my life to fight, only in this way can our mother and son have a chance to live!"
After speaking, both of them were silent for a long time, Xue Mingfei's mother and son were worried about their unknown fate, while Su Junbao was slightly lamented by the cruelty of the power struggle. He didn't know what to say, it was just someone else's business after all. When he rescues people, he is the most righteous and righteous.
"Master Su, thank you for helping today and saving the lives of our mother and son, but I still have a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree?" After the silence, Xue Mingfei said again, as if she had plucked up courage.
"You want me to send you to the capital?" Su Junbao asked.
"Yes, Su Gongzi is such a young and heroic, after that, if you can help me and help my son ascend the throne as king, I will definitely pay me well!" Concubine Xue Ming pleaded.
Su Junbao shook his head.
"No, if you follow us, I can guarantee that you will arrive in the capital safely, but I don't want to mention other things, and I don't want to get involved in your power struggle!" He said.
