VIP chapter content,
Meng Xilan's intuition has always been very accurate. What's more, Li Jieyu had no motive to assassinate the emperor. "There's no reason, there's no motive, Xilan doesn't understand."
If it was really an assassination, then why did Zhou Shixian hurt his left hand, he was not left-handed. Why does a person who is accustomed to using his right hand protect himself with his left hand when his life is in danger? This simply doesn't make sense.
Murong Qiao hesitated slightly, his face dazed: "You said the emperor...... What is the emperor's purpose in doing this? β
Meng Xilan's eyes sank: "Suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts, what is the emperor's mind, now, can Niangniang and I still be able to guess?" β
Nearest the king nearest the gallows. Whoever the emperor's heart is pointing at is the next person to be unlucky.
"Niangniang, don't forget, Li Jieyu killed the child in her womb with her own hands, and that child is also the emperor's child."
Meng Xilan deliberately vaguely mentioned what happened before, a stillborn child, which was enough to make Zhou Shixian resentful.
After digging into it like this, Murong Qiao couldn't help but shudder secretly.
She didn't dare to believe Meng Xilan's guess, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her suspicion was correct.
"...... Inevitably, bigger things will happen, and the matter of seizing the heir must be deployed quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night. β
When Meng Xilan said this, there was a faint hint of anger between her eyebrows.
She can't help but be anxious, her and Zhou Youchen's situation is all subject to Zhou Shixian's joys, sorrows, and sorrows. He is happy now, and they will have a good day. If they are not happy, they may be overwhelmed at any time.
Murong Qiao understood her thoughts too well, and nodded in a deep voice: "This palace knows in my heart, this palace will let the people of my mother's family unite the ministers in the court to build momentum for Lin'er, and strive to let the emperor appoint Lin'er as the new prince as soon as possible." β
As long as the edict canonizing the new prince is announced to the world, then once Zhou Shixian has any "accident", Zhou Youlin can rightfully inherit the throne.
"Okay, I will also send a message to my father and brother at home, so that they can fully support the prince." Meng Xilan said quietly.
Although she promised this on her lips, she was not optimistic about this matter in her heart.
After Zhou Youping was deposed, the emperor's temperament changed a lot, and he would not easily canonize the crown prince, or even Zhou Youlin.
β¦β¦
After Li Jieyu died tragically due to her crimes, the atmosphere in the palace became a little strange and uneasy.
The concubines in the palace are all in danger, lest there be any strong winds and waves that threaten their lives.
Meng Xilan has always been the most idle, but this time she has a lot of things to do.
Murong Qiao really did what he said, and began to use his family's power to build momentum for Zhou Youlin in the previous dynasty.
Zhou Shixian looked at the folds handed over by the ministers, and his expression was gloomy.
They repeatedly mentioned the founding of the country, just to stimulate him, saying that he was old and useless.
Zhou Shixian's heart was full of anger, and he only brought those folds back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Recently, Zhou Youchen often came to ask his father for political affairs, and he worked very hard.
Zhou Shixian was very satisfied with this.
He likes smart children, and Zhou Youchen seems to be far smarter than he imagined.
Today, Zhou Shixian's mood is not smooth, and he doesn't have a good face when he sees Zhou Youchen.
However, Zhou Youchen was originally a child who could read people's faces, and when his father asked him to sit, he would sit steadily, and when he asked him to drink tea, he would drink it slowly and methodically.
Zhou Shixian looked at him, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, and his mood changed from cloudy to sunny. "Chen'er, I have seen that you seem to have put a lot of thought into the affairs of the imperial court. How? Do you want to do something like your fourth brother? β
"Fourth brother...... My father has promoted me, but I don't have the ability of the fourth brother. Zhou Youchen looked at the tea bowl in his hand and said quietly.
Zhou Shixian raised his eyes and glanced at him when he heard this, "Your fourth brother is indeed a character. Look at how many ministers in the court speak for him, and let me make him the crown prince! β
Zhou Youchen saw him throw the fold on the table, so he walked over and picked it up and looked at it.
Sure enough, those ministers praised Zhou Youlin as the most talented and virtuous person in the world.
Zhou Shixian kept paying attention to his expression, and when he saw him smile lightly, he only put the fold back on the table.
"Chen'er, what are you laughing at?"
Zhou Youchen raised his eyebrows: "Back to my father, my son didn't laugh anything, but he suddenly felt ridiculous." β
"Ridiculous?"
If it comes out of someone's mouth, it is very disrespectful. However, Zhou Youchen is different from others, he is different.
In Zhou Shixian's view, he is a child who has no heart, what he wants to say, his temperament is straightforward and transparent, and he can see the bottom at a glance.
"It's ridiculous. My father is the Son of Heaven, and I can't imagine that there are smarter and more powerful people in this world than you. β
Zhou Shixian raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "When did you learn to shoot horses?"
Zhou Youchen smiled lightly: "Father, the son didn't say this to please you. Erchen was telling the truth. You are the Son of Heaven, and no one can be better than you. β
When Zhou Shixian heard this, a touch of surprise flashed in his heart.
These words are simple, but they are more pleasant than those long-winded ministers.
Zhou Shixian closed the fold, looked at him with a serious face, and asked: "I am the Son of Heaven, but I am old, and everyone in the court thinks that I am useless. β
Zhou Youchen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he figured out that he might be testing himself.
"Father, the sons and daughters don't understand the knowledge of dividing into factions. The ministers only felt that their father was not old at all, and those courtiers were in a hurry. As for the fourth brother...... he deliberately pulled a long tone and raised his face, "The fourth brother is a talent, and he is top-notch in everything, but no matter how powerful he is, he is also the son of your father." β
The king and the minister, the father and the son, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and the young and the old are orderly.
When Zhou Shixian heard this, he was really happy.
"Well, it seems that you know better than they do. I really didn't hurt you in vain. β
Zhou Youchen lowered his head when he heard this, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.
One day, he will let him know that not only did he not hurt him in vain, but he also did not raise him in vain.
A few days later, Xu was annoyed by the ministers in the court, and Zhou Shixian was angry in the court, attracting hundreds of civil and military officials, which was quite unexpected.
Meng Xilan took the time to go home and discuss the matter with her father and brother in detail, Meng Zhenglu shook his head and said, "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it." The Murong family was too anxious, which made the emperor displeased. In this way, not only will it not help the prince, but it will also backfire. β
Meng Xilan said: "Concubine Ning was already anxious, and her daughter simply added a handful of firewood to make the fire bigger. β
Meng Zhenglu was surprised when he heard this, and looked at his daughter: "Xilan...... Since you know this, why don't you persuade Concubine Ning to stop in moderation? β
Now that the time is ripe, it's time for her to tell the truth to her family.
"Dad, my daughter is not filial, and she secretly played a big game of chess without consulting you."
When Meng Zhenglu heard this, his brows were about to be twisted into knots.
"Hurry up and explain the matter to your father."
"In the battle for succession, the candidate who supports her daughter is no longer Prince Xian, but the prince of the county."
And the king of the county!
Meng Zhenglu and Meng Xizhao glanced at each other, their expressions complicated and difficult to distinguish.
"Sister, didn't you say before that you treated the king of Hejun favorably, just as a cover for blurring the eyes and ears?" Meng Xizhao opened his mouth to question.
Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly: "Brother, the ninth master was grown up by me." The relationship between me and him is not a matter of words, which can be explained clearly. β
She didn't know how to explain it to her father and brother, because it wasn't clear at all.
"Xilan, it's not child's play to take the heir, how can you say that change will change. Aren't you putting our whole family on the cusp of the storm by doing so? In terms of ability and ability, Prince Xian is the best candidate for the position of prince. And the prince of the county has a perverse temperament, is withdrawn, and can't be martial arts, how can he bear the responsibility of the country? β
The matter of seizing the heir is related to the well-being of the people and the well-being of the people, how can it be child's play? He has been assisting Zhou Youlin conscientiously for several years, and he has already seen his ability and potential. As for Zhou Youchen, he couldn't see that he could become a prince at all.
"Father, daughter also knows that this trick is sinister, but the ninth master and the prince, the daughter can only choose one!" Meng Xilan bit her lip hard, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
"You ......" Meng Zhenglu was so angry with her that he couldn't speak.
"Lan'er, this is a matter of life and death, and you can't be emotional."
"Dad, my daughter is not emotional. My daughter has been in the palace for so long and knows too many things that she shouldn't know, so her daughter chose Jiuye. He is the son of Concubine Xiao, with no roots and no foundation, but he understands the emperor's mind best, and he is also the emperor's most trusted son now. β
"After the crown prince was deposed, the emperor's temperament changed greatly. If you know what he's done in the harem, you'll be as anxious as your daughter. β
Meng Zhenglu took a deep breath and prepared to wait for his daughter to finish speaking. The palace has not been peaceful recently, and he knows it.
"The prince is now sharp, and he wants to be meritorious and powerful. If the emperor really valued his ability, he would not have needed the Murong family to build momentum in the previous dynasty, and he would have issued an order a long time ago. As my father said, the prince is the best candidate for the prince, everyone can see it, can't the emperor see it? β
Meng Xilan took a long breath and said, "The prince is now smooth sailing and smoothing the hearts of the people, and there should be big things to do." But the emperor asked him to repair the palace, which was obviously to suppress him! The ministers jointly played and recommended the prince, but the emperor was furious when he heard it! This shows that he doesn't want to or is ready to make Zhou Youlin the new crown prince. β
Meng Zhenglu's eyes sank slightly when he heard this. Meng Xizhao's face also changed instantly, and he knew very well what his sister meant.
Zhou Youlin is the only prince among the princes, and he is also the most valued by the emperor, he has his own halo and is outstanding and dazzling. But who can see the shadow under this halo?
"Xi Lan, since you have been ready to support the Ninth Master for a long time, why did you only tell us now." Meng Xizhao asked puzzled.
She had been planning alone for so long, why didn't she communicate with her family earlier? Is there something wrong with her?
Meng Xilan sighed in her heart, "I'm sorry, I deliberately concealed my original intention to protect the Ninth Master. If his father and brother take a stand and give up the prince and become the ninth master, his situation in the palace will be very dangerous. Dad, brother, I'm sorry, Xi Lan has no intention of taking advantage of you, Xi Lan is just a last resort, and I can't make a rash statement until it's safe, so as not to affect you! β
Meng Zhenglu pondered for a moment before he sighed: "We have already stepped into this troubled water." What's not involved...... When I sent you into the palace, you didn't want to do anything in your heart, why didn't we burden you. Over the years, you have been thoughtful in the palace and have done a lot for the Meng family. I'm ashamed of my father, but I didn't know that you still thought of this step! β
