The old emperor looked at Su Wan with a smile, and a touch of cunning appeared in his eyes.

"Why don't you be crowned the crown princess?" As if on a whim, the old emperor suddenly high-fived and decided.

"What?" Su Wan was startled, he didn't understand what the old emperor's brain circuit meant for a while, and he reacted after half a while, but he was even more surprised.

Su Jin, who was hiding behind the screen of the Heart Cultivation Hall and eavesdropping, was also trembling at this moment, and almost dropped all the medicinal food in his hand on Lin. This news is so exciting that people can't digest it at all.

"You, are you, want to crown King Chen as the crown prince?" Su Wan settled his mind and asked tentatively.

The old emperor neither admitted nor denied it, but made an attitude that it was not about himself, looked at Su Wan with a smile, and said, "What do you think?" ”

"However, King Chen has been crowned king by you." Seeing the old emperor's attitude, Su Wan was even more at a loss. There has been no such precedent in the empire since ancient times, and the prince who has been crowned a king is already a courtier in principle, and should not be qualified to participate in the competition for the prince.

"Well, the rules of the empire were set by the first monarch, and I am also a monarch, why can't I change them?" The old emperor smiled faintly, looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and said in a wistful voice: "Otherwise, you will point me to a suitable person to see?" In addition to King Chen, who else can inherit and govern this great river and mountain? ”

The old emperor tilted his head slightly, and said with a regretful expression on his face: "Among my children, only King Chen is a talent, I originally wanted to cultivate a ground material, so I used all methods and resources to cultivate the prince, but in the end, isn't he still a wine bag and rice bag?" How could such a person become the king of a country? ”

Although the old emperor has many heirs, compared with King Chen, his qualifications are mediocre, and because he has been immersed in the court for too long, he is always full of intrigue and deceit, and he does not have the courage and mind to become the king of a country.

Su Jin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot behind the screen, how much she wished she could hear the name of the third prince from Su Wan's mouth at this time, even if she knew that this possibility was very small.

The old emperor threw this difficult question to Su Wan, and Su Wan couldn't answer it for a while, so he could only ask with a puzzled face: "Your Majesty, if you thought early on that only Xiao Mochen could take on this great responsibility, why didn't you make him the crown prince and send him to serve at the border since he was a child?" ”

"You've always been smart about ice and snow, why can't you see clearly on this issue?" The old emperor smiled helplessly, took a few steps forward and said, "Although King Chen is talented, because of the early death of his biological mother, he has lost his support since he was a child. My queen is a jealous mediocre woman, and in order to avoid the destruction of a perfect seed, I can only go far and send him to the border to be trained. ”

The old emperor's smile brought a hint of bitterness to him, and said, "If I don't send King Chen to the border and teach him to march and fight, and strategize, how can I transfer the military strength of this empire to him little by little?" ”

Su Wan looked at the old emperor with a complicated expression, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. She has always been indignant because of the old emperor's excessive high standards and strict requirements for Xiao Mochen, and she never expected that the old emperor had planned everything from the beginning, and would hand over the strong quality and the splendid rivers and mountains of this empire to his most important son.

Seeing that Su Wan was speechless, the old emperor's smile became even more meaningful, and he sighed and said: "Let me tell you the truth, if you don't come to say this today, I will also give King Chen justice in the morning tomorrow, and announce that King Chen will be crowned the crown prince." ”

"This ......" Su Wan opened his mouth, but he could only utter this one syllable. The old emperor has always been known for being fair and upright, but he didn't expect that he was ready to make an exception for Xiao Mochen.

"I'm already old, I don't have any extra time, and I must not have a problem with the issue of succession to the throne." The old emperor smiled faintly, raised his eyes to look at Su Wan and said, "After you go back tonight, tell King Chen, let him prepare, there is something important to announce tomorrow morning." ”

"I'm going to tell him...... Is it a big deal? Su Wan was half entangled, but couldn't help but ask.

"Whatever you like." The old emperor turned his head, walked back to his throne and sat down, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It depends on how long you want to save this surprise." ”

"I don't think this is a surprise for Xiao Mochen." Su Wan bit his pale lower lip and said softly: "All along, he has been demanding himself according to the standards of a courtier, and he has tried his best to do things for your father, I think he may not be able to adjust in the short term." ”

"You're wrong." The old emperor's face suddenly became serious, and he said seriously: "The king of a country is also a courtier of the empire, and he works hard for the people's livelihood and happiness, and he is also ordered by his orders. I think that King Chen must be able to easily figure out the causal connection. ”

Su Wan didn't have anything to refute, so he had to bow his head respectfully and say "yes". Although this was the best news, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

When Su Jin heard this, she couldn't be calm anymore. She hurriedly walked out, handed the food box containing the medicinal food in her hand to the butler's father-in-law, and said, "This is the medicinal food sent to me by the Queen Mother, it is already cold, you remember to heat it and send it to Your Majesty to take." ”

The father-in-law of the housekeeper took the food box, looked at Su Jin a little strangely and asked, "Niangniang, you have only been in for so long, why haven't you presented medicinal food to Your Majesty?" ”

"It's not something you should ask, heart your tongue!"

Su Jin was already upset, and couldn't stand the inquiry of her father-in-law, so she replied in a bad tone, and then lifted her skirt and walked away quickly.

The father-in-law in charge was taken aback, looked at Su Jin's back with a little low chest, secretly spitted, and said: "What a two-faced femme fatale woman, pretending to be weak and pitiful in front of His Majesty, and deliberately acting majestic in front of his subordinates." ”

"You really want your tongue! If you are heard, your life will be gone for a moment! The housekeeper on the side hurriedly signaled him to shut up, took the medicine box, and sighed heavily.

Su Jin had such a big secret in her arms, so she naturally wanted to share it with the third prince as soon as possible. It was evening, twilight, and the guards in the palace were the most loose, Su Jin walked in a hurry, and walked straight to the area where the princes lived.

The Queen Mother had a cough today, so she asked Mama Li to go to the Tai Hospital again to give her two kinds of medicine. Mama Li was walking on the road with the medicine box, and when she saw Su Jin going to the prince's palace with fire, she immediately frowned.

In the imperial city, there is a difference between men and women, and there is an insurmountable gap between concubines and princes. This Su Jin neither gave birth to a son and a half daughter, nor did she have any cronies, why did she take advantage of the uncertainty to enter the prince's garden alone?

Mama Li thought about it and didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly and quietly followed behind Su Jin, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Although Su Jin was visiting for the first time, she searched all the way along the palace road, and it was still very easy to find the "Crane Hidden Cloud" villa of the third prince, she smiled, and hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The eunuch guarding the gatehouse immediately opened the door, and when he saw a beautiful palace concubine standing outside, his face was suddenly full of surprise, and he said in fear: "This lord, what are you doing here?" ”

"Go and call the third prince to come out, I have something urgent to talk to him." Su Jin glared at Liao and said sharply.

"This ......" The eunuch was a little embarrassed, blinked his eyes, and said slowly: "Then may I ask who is your surname and what is your position?" You always have to have a reason to report to the three princes, right? ”

"If you talk nonsense, I'll break your dog's legs!" Su Jin was furious, and said angrily: "If you don't move again, I'm going to break in!" ”

Su Jin was actually annoyed at the moment, she was annoyed that she couldn't directly give her name and identity, so as not to leave people with a handle. The third prince has already been married, presumably there is also a big push from the main concubine and the side concubine in his other courtyard, and if she goes in, she will inevitably be tongue-in.

When the eunuch saw this posture, he didn't dare to say more, so he had to walk into the door again and again. After a moment's effort, the third prince, whose face was full of shock, walked out and said in a low voice, "What's the matter with you?" How dare you find this! ”

"Take me to a quiet place, I have something important to do with you!" Su Jin glanced at the third prince, pouted, and said, "If it weren't for the urgent matter of 100,000 people, I wouldn't have come to you in danger of cutting off my head!" ”

The third prince hesitated for a moment, and then took Su Jin to a deserted temple courtyard not far away, which was in disrepair, and even the palace maids who watched the house had died of old age, and no newcomers came here, and according to legend, it was often haunted.

Mama Li followed all the way, and when she saw that the two of them went to the deserted courtyard quietly, she felt that it was particularly inappropriate, so she hurriedly followed and listened carefully to the movement of the words.

As soon as she arrived at the courtyard, Su Jin was about to throw herself into the arms of the third prince, but the third prince was distraught, pushed away her kiss, and said, "Have you made enough trouble?" What is going on? ”

The third prince was angry with the old emperor today, and it was easy to transfer the anger from the secret letter to Su Jin, if it wasn't for Su Jin providing this wrong information, he would not have been looked down upon by the old emperor.

Mama Li was in a cold sweat on her back when she heard it in the dark, this is not an ordinary big crime! This Su Zhu, who is usually quiet and quiet, is a weak woman, but she can do such ugly things!

Seeing that Su Jin was really angry, the third prince softened again, and comforted her softly for a long time before finally stabilizing her mood.

Su Jin snorted, and slowly repeated the words he had just overheard to the third prince, and the third prince's expression instantly became shocked and angry, and he asked incredulously, "Are you real?" Does my father really want to crown King Chen as the crown prince? ”

"It's true, even if you don't believe me, after tomorrow morning, the emperor's list will be posted, won't you be able to see it?" Su Jin frowned, and said deliberately: "What you are most worried about has happened, although the crown prince is dead, a more troublesome person will become the emperor." ”

"How's that okay?" The third prince saw that Su Jin didn't seem to be lying, and immediately panicked, and muttered: "I used to follow the prince to do a lot of things that the party is like and disagree, Xiao Mochen must have held a grudge against me for a long time, this secret letter incident I originally wanted to beat him to the point that he could not be turned over forever, but now he has successfully reversed, and he will not let me go in the future!" ”

"I don't know what to do, I don't know martial arts, otherwise I can help you kill him overnight." Su Jin smiled mockingly, squinted at the third prince and said, "Otherwise, bother your third prince to drive and do it yourself?" ”

Mama Li listened to her heartbeat, and now she still wants to murder King Chen, this is really a big rebellion, unforgivable, and she must tell the Queen Mother as soon as possible!

In a panic, Mama Li's medicine box unintentionally hit the stone wall next to it, making a crisp sound.

"Who's there!" The third prince reacted quickly, immediately caught this subtle sound, and pulled out the sword at his waist and asked loudly.

Mama Li was so frightened that she had no master, and hurriedly ran away in a panic with the medicine box. The third prince chased a few steps forward, and before he could see what she looked like, Mama Li had already run away.

The surroundings were already completely dark, and it would be even more difficult to find out where the eavesdroppers had gone. The third prince was in an irritable mood, slammed the stone wall on the side, and said angrily: "Why have I always been so bad lately!" Someone overheard what I just said, and neither of us can live! ”

Su Jin was also shocked, and came to the side of the third prince with broken steps, and just wanted to comfort him, but inadvertently found that a handkerchief had fallen on the ground, and the purple brocade was very inconspicuous in the surrounding dark environment.

"Don't worry, I'll see what this is." Su Jin frowned, leaned over and picked up the handkerchief, took it to the place where there was light and looked at it, there was a dignified and beautiful purple gold flower embroidered on the handkerchief, and there was a beautiful cursive "Jing" next to it.

"This is ......" Su Jin's face showed a frightened look, and he turned to the third prince and said, "This veil belongs to Mama Li next to the Queen Mother!" ”

"What? Are you sure? As soon as he heard that he had something to do with the Queen Mother, the third prince became even more nervous, and looked at the veil several times, and beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

"I'm sure." Su Jin nodded stiffly and said slowly: "The night I pretended to be a sentry and entered Cining Palace, Mama Li used this handkerchief to help me wipe away the tears on my face. ”

Everything that night seemed to be still vivid, Su Jin stared at the veil, but her voice trembled a little.

Mama Li actually overheard her conversation with the third prince! Then she will inevitably tell the Queen Mother the news immediately! The Queen Mother's eyes have always been unable to rub sand, besides, this is still a crime involving incest and rebellion to death, and the Queen Mother will definitely not give up.

"We're going to die...... The third prince's chest and back were already wet with cold sweat, and his face was full of real fear at this moment, and he muttered: "And he died in disrepute!" ”

Su Jin also felt a chill rise in his heart, once this kind of big crime is discovered, it will destroy the Nine Clans!
