Chapter 120: No Guesses

According to Wang Xi's temperament, if Chen Luo is embarrassed, she won't ask, but this matter is very important, and everything is very strange, so Wang Xi can't help himself fool himself.

She looked at Chen Luo quietly, waiting for him to speak.

Chen Luo felt hot on her face under her clear gaze.

The reason why he didn't say it was because he didn't want Wang Xi to be involved. But Wang Xi first helped him find a way to figure out the recipe of the spices of the Qianqing Palace, and then helped him find a doctor, recommend staff, and heard a lot of messy things, if he really wanted her to stay out of the matter, he should be impulsive and endure it.

He wanted her to quit now, what did he do earlier?

Chen Luo smiled bitterly in his heart, and still told Wang Xi what he thought in his heart: "I know what you think. I always feel that no matter how strong a person is, there are times when he is weak, and the emperor will inevitably have a time to be a loving father. But the royal family is not someone else's, what's the use of giving more money? If he really loves the Seventh Prince and wants Concubine Ning to have a good evening, he should arrange the affairs of the prince, so that the Seventh Prince can make friends with the future prince. Otherwise, if the prince is undecided, even if he gives the seventh prince a golden cage, the new monarch can send him to prison with a word. ”

Wang Xi's heart jumped when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Luo nodded and took a few steps towards Wang Xi.

Wang Xi blushed suddenly.

Chen Luo probably wanted to whisper to her, but he was too close to her, and he was a head taller than her, standing beside her like a mountain surrounding her, she could not only smell the faint citrus fragrance on his body, but also easily see the criss-crossing weaves on his Hangzhou silk robe.

She didn't dare to look up at his expression.

Wang Xi was afraid that as soon as she raised her head, the top of her head would hit his chin, and she seemed to be held in his arms.

As soon as she thought about it, her head began to buzz, so that she didn't hear what Chen Luo said at the beginning, and she didn't hear it clearly, and it was only when Chen Luo's sneering voice when he mentioned the emperor suddenly got into her ears that she came back to her senses: "...... If he was old, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing. It can be seen that his mind is still very clear.

"If he is like this, if he doesn't want to open the way for the eldest son of the emperor and use the seventh prince to deal with the second prince? Or do you want the Seven Princes to ascend to the throne?

"It's just that I don't understand. Tiger poison does not eat children, if he wants the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne, he has to kill the previous sons. Isn't he afraid that stealing chickens won't make rice? ”

Although Wang Xi had some guesses, when she heard Chen Luo say such things coldly, she still felt a chill on her body, and hurriedly restrained her thoughts, and said, "You mean, is the emperor arranging the prince by doing this?" ”

Chen Luo nodded and said: "My uncle, everyone thinks that he is indecisive and procrastinates in doing things without an opinion, but you see that since he has succeeded to the throne for so many years, there is nothing that has been done without such procrastination."

"His rule of thumb is that you take your time. Survive until you lose patience, boil until you lose your temper, and he will naturally get his wish.

So he didn't set up a prince, everyone thought it was normal, thinking that he wanted to make the second prince the crown prince, but he was afraid of breaking the heart of the eldest son of the emperor, or he wanted to make the eldest son of the emperor the crown prince, and he was afraid of breaking the heart of the second prince.

"In the past, there were still officials urging him, you see all these years, who else said what they didn't?

"Because the eldest son of the emperor is likely to inherit the unification, although he has not been close to us over the years, his performance is remarkable, and there is nothing wrong with it. Not to mention the second prince, not to mention the rules, even the Qingyun Marquis Mansion bowed his head and obeyed his orders, and he didn't want the slightest bad rumor to be revealed, and he was even more obedient than when the old marquis was there. ”

Wang Xi thinks about it, it's really the truth.

She thought that Chen Luo would continue to speak, but she didn't think that Chen Luo would say this, and suddenly began to pace back and forth again.

Wang Xi glared.

Not sure what happened.

Fortunately, Chen Luo didn't know if he trusted her very much, or if he was used to confiding in her, or both, he didn't sell it, vented his emotions, waited until his thoughts stabilized, and said, "My father is really stupid." The old marquis of Qingyun Mansion has the reincarnation of Wei Qing, and his prestige is intimidating the five armies, and no one admires it. The emperor took advantage of the Bo family's ascendancy, and was afraid that the Bo family's high achievements would shock the lord and manipulate the government, so he wanted to let the Qingping Marquis Mansion, which had been guarding the northwest for generations, and the Zhenguo Mansion, which had a close relationship with Goryeo in the northeast, compete with the Qingyun Marquis Mansion.

"But the Qingping Marquis Mansion is a pure minister, and the emperor can't pretend to understand how the emperor hints and makes it clear that their family can't understand. This is also the reason why for so many years, a small official in the household department has dared to pit the Marquis of Qingping.

"Only my father thought it was a beautiful thing. Obviously I don't like it in my heart, but I still married my mother, and I want to take this opportunity to go to the next level, become the first family of meritorious families, glorify my ancestors, and do what my grandfather couldn't do.

As a result, the Qingyun Marquis Mansion was paid at the bottom of the kettle, honestly, he didn't listen to the emperor for anything, and he also restrained the children in the family, and carefully let the Yanguan catch a scandal of drunken prostitutes at most.

"Qingyun Houfu was born, and my father is useless. He even dared to argue with my mother, I don't even know how long his brain is? ”

How to talk about it, the topic came to Zhen Guogong.

However, it can also be seen how much Chen Luo does not want to see his father.

Wang Xi couldn't help but say, "Maybe your father did it on purpose?" He can be regarded as rich in experience, no matter how confused he is, it is impossible to make a mistake in such a big thing, right? ”

Chen Luo was shocked when he heard this, so much so that his expression became a little sluggish.

Wang Xi said the elders in front of others, and he was naturally a little embarrassed, and he just wanted to expose this matter, and said busily: "So you think the emperor wants the seventh son of the emperor to be the crown prince." But as you said, the seventh son of the emperor is neither the eldest nor the eldest son. Unless the older brother in front of him is gone......"

At this point, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and a possibility suddenly came to mind.

She began to babble: "Or maybe Concubine Ning became the queen......"

Both of these possibilities are very slim.

Get rid of the previous princes, not to mention the big moves, even if the seventh prince succeeds to the throne, he will not have a good reputation, and there will be endless troubles.

But Ning Concubine being the queen is tantamount to offending the rebellion of the Qingyun Hou Mansion, and under the full counterattack of the Qingyun Hou Mansion, Ning Concubine's queen dream will be shattered, and the emperor's emperor dream will be shattered.

Wang Xi really wanted to ask Chen Luo: Do you think you guessed correctly?

But she was embarrassed to ask, as if she was doubting Chen Luo's judgment and doubting Chen Luo's trust in her.

Chen Luo stopped and stood under a Bodhi tree in the backyard.

In the middle of summer, the linden tree is lush and flourishing, and the verdant canopy of the tree is like an umbrella to block the scorching sun, and a bright spot of light like gold leaf falls.

His slightly raised face was still heroic in the shade of the tree, but it was as sharp as a knife.

"It's man-made, what's impossible." Chen Luo said, turned his head to look at Wang Xi, a pair of deep eyes, with an indifferent lightness, a kind of coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, "Find an excuse to abolish the queen, the second prince is not afraid." The eldest prince has lost the role of containing the second prince, if he is obedient, he will naturally have a way to live; If you are disobedient, you will just be removed from it. At most, I lost two sons. The emperor can still afford this price. ”

He said this as if he had read it a thousand times in his heart, and he did not hesitate at all.

Wang Xi shuddered.

She knew that what Chen Luo said made sense and was feasible. But because of this, she felt more and more that she was not suitable for such a fight.

In the Wang family, at most, the sisters disagree with each other, you have to dress more beautifully than me, and my husband has more ability than you. quarreled back and forth, and at the critical time, the bones were still broken and the tendons were connected, and it was impossible to really watch people fall down, so how could they pull a hand and help them for a ride. Don't talk about life, even if your life is too cold, you will feel uncomfortable in your heart.

Perhaps, she should still stay in Shu.

It is enough to come to the capital to see it.

Wang Xi lowered his eyes and was silent.

Chen Luo could clearly feel that Wang Xi had become a little detached.

He was in a hurry.

Although he didn't know why, he instinctively felt that he should let Wang Xi get acquainted with him again, and even as before, when he saw him, his eyes were like a hidden star, twinkling and shining.

That kind of Wang Xi is the Wang Xi he likes to see.

Instead of hiding his true emotions in a somewhat evasive way, as in front of him.

His mind was spinning quickly, and he felt that it was the emperor's absurdity that scared Wang Xi.

The bell also needs to be tied to the bell.

Chen Luo said: "What do you think we should do?" ”

Wang Xi raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Luo with some indifference.

What should they do?

That's a strange question. Can they still interfere with the emperor's decision? What a price to pay!

The thought flashed through her mind, and she stared at Chen Luo with wide eyes, her face full of horror.

It can't be what she thinks, right?

Is Chen Luo ready to meddle in the matter of the emperor's establishment of a prince?

Even if the Seventh Prince is the emperor's favorite prince, as long as Chen Luo doesn't get involved, it will be impossible for the Seventh Prince to deal with his cousin!

Wang Xi lost his voice and said, "Could it be that the eldest princess and Concubine Ning are not in harmony?" Or have you ever offended the Seven Princes? ”

Chen Luo smiled dumbly and said, "Why does your little head grow?" Even if my mother and Concubine Ning are not in harmony, the emperor wants to set up seven princes, and there must be the support of the elders on the outside and the support of the clan relatives inside. Even if I once offended the Seven Princes, the dragon's skill can offset the contradictions between each other.

"I'm just ......"

It's just that I don't want those cousins and cousins who grew up with him since childhood to become Huangquan Ke.

Chen Luo suddenly couldn't speak, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He is not the emperor, what ability and ability does he have to stop the emperor's decision?

Those cousins of his are not fools, and under the nest, who will wait for death instead of finding a way to save themselves?

Sometimes, he does take it for granted.

Chen Luo was a little depressed.
