Chapter 75: Deliberation (5)

The prince of Beiding walked in front of the old princess, and slightly arched his hand to greet the old princess, "The son has seen his mother"

The old princess smiled and quipped, "You, I think you are worried about Qinghan so you eavesdropped."

"The son's intentions were still discovered by his mother" The prince of Beiding took a sip of the teacup next to him, avoiding the inquiring gaze of the old princess, and then slowly put down the teacup and looked at Ning Qinghan who was standing aside.

"Qinghan, the situation in the court is very complicated now" The prince looked at Ning Qinghan and said worriedly, "The current emperor suffered a lot of old injuries because of the early years when he fought the world, and now his body is extremely weak, the imperial doctor diagnosed that the emperor has a lifespan of up to three years, and I only learned about this matter recently."

"Then there must be an open and secret battle between the DPRK and China," Ning Qinghan interjected

"Now the court is divided into three factions," the prince looked at Ning Qinghan and continued, "Among them, the second prince's faction is the most powerful, the second prince's mother is Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning's father, Prime Minister Ning is the main core of the second prince's faction, Prime Minister Ning has always regarded himself as a literati, and most of the people in the court are his disciples. The only forces on the surface of the three princes are Lord Nan, and the forces in the secret are in the hands of the eldest princess. ”

"This King of the South, Qinghan doesn't seem to have heard of it," Ning Qinghan asked at the right time

"This Nanwang was originally a well-known wealthy merchant in the south, with a lot of money, and when the emperor first fought the world, there was an extreme shortage of silver, so he married the daughter of the Nanwang and solved the problem of silver," the prince replied, "Although this Nanwang was named king, many ministers in the court still disagreed with him. ”

Ning Qinghan nodded when he heard this, and the prince of Beiding stopped and only felt that his mouth was dry, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Qinghan, after listening to this, you should have some understanding of the situation in the court."

"Just now my uncle said that the court is divided into three factions, but just now he only said two, so what is the other one" Ning Qinghan thought about it carefully and asked questions again

"That's the loyal emperor faction," the prince continued, "and a few old ministers led by Shangguan Shangshu who accompanied the emperor to fight the world, these ministers have been waiting and watching at present, and have never participated in any party disputes."

The prince glanced at Ning Qinghan deeply, "Qinghan, now every day in the court, the second prince's faction and the loyal emperor's faction will argue over one thing, can you seriously think about whether you want to form an alliance with the eldest princess and get involved in the party dispute?" ”

"My son still has official business, so I'll go outside to deal with official documents," the prince retracted his gaze, got up and arched his hand to the old princess, and went out.

The old princess looked at Ning Qinghan, who was standing aside in a daze, and took her hand distressedly, "Good boy, what can you do now?" ”

"Grandmother, in Qinghan's opinion, forming an alliance with the eldest princess is the only way to keep the fetus in my womb at the moment," Ning Qinghan said hesitantly while holding the handkerchief

The smile on the old princess's face faded suddenly, she let go of Ning Qinghan's hand, and looked at the princess who was sitting silently on the side, "Qingwan, you take Qinghan to rest first, remember to make a table of supplements." ”

Ning Qinghan thought of Mrs. Li who was still in Rongde Hall, and excused herself, "Grandmother, the Mrs. Li sent by my grandmother is still in Rongde Hall, Qinghan should go back to Rongde Hall."

"I'll arrange all these for you, you can go back with Qingwan to rest," the old princess said impatiently

"Then Qinghan will retire first" Ning Qinghan looked at her grandmother's impatient expression, and bowed and left.

"Mother, then Qinghan will sleep in my room tonight, and I'll talk to her." The princess received the hint from the old princess and nodded.
