Chapter 499: One Change

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and Lin Xiang, who was sitting on the ground, looked at Zheng Songyuan on the stage blankly, how could this be? How so?

Empress Dowager Yanping and Empress Xiao sighed in their hearts at this time, such a result is more acceptable to them than others, and they have already accepted such a result once.

On the contrary, the Wen family and those who supported the Four Highnesses breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, before the prophecy came out, they chose the Four Highnesses and stood up to support the Four Highnesses again at this moment, which were two completely different situations.

Wen Kangye's waist straightened up at this time, took two steps forward, bowed respectfully in the direction of Master Huoyi, and asked loudly.

"Master Huoyi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the chosen son, then, the remaining royal heirs of my Nanzheng are only four highnesses." Wan Kangye's hands were shaking excitedly, and at this moment, his swagger could no longer describe Wen Kangye's mood, as if Nan Zheng had a glance, and half of it was already in the hands of the Wen family.

Master Huo Yi glanced around, his expression was still calm, and his peaceful expression didn't seem to change at all.

"Wen Kangye, this prophecy can only show that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the chosen son, is the Fourth Highness not, then only the Fourth Highness personally stands up, and the deity can announce the world."

Wen Kangye, Concubine Wen and the Wen family held their heads high at this time, and they didn't doubt that the Fourth Highness was the chosen one, and even the people of Zheng Songyuan's faction no longer had any fighting spirit at this time, and they almost recognized the result that the Fourth Highness was the chosen son.

Wen Kangye glanced at Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen immediately asked people to call Zheng Haoyuan, and couldn't wait for Zheng Haoyuan to stand on the stage and convince everyone.

"Queen Mother, what should I do?" Empress Xiao, who came back to her senses, subconsciously grabbed the hand of the Empress Dowager Yanping, and they realized in hindsight that from the death of Emperor Jingzhi to the Wen family's rapid trapping of them in the Chenyuan Palace, there was no time for them to prepare for a retreat.

Empress Dowager Yanping glanced at Empress Xiao, it is true, she can complete all this in less than two hours for Emperor Jingzhi, it seems that Emperor Jingzhi's life and death are in their hands, which shows that even Emperor Jingzhi's death is within their plan.

Empress Xiao's face was pale, and she naturally thought of this. The death of Emperor Jingzhi......

As soon as Zheng Haoyuan appeared in the Chenyuan Palace, everyone's eyes fell on this young man who still looked immature, and the young man's calm and restrained emotions were still in his facial features, even so, at this moment, no one dared to underestimate such a blind teenager.

These days, although the prophecy has not been said publicly, the prophecy has been spread in private, and the people on Lin Xiang's side naturally don't believe it, and the Wen family's side, except for the incident a few years ago, can't come up with any strong evidence at all.

Therefore, there are all kinds of things to say, and some say that this is a rumor from the Wen family, which is not credible at all, and this rumor quickly disappeared after two or three days, and it did not attract anyone's attention at all.

But at this moment, everything is different, believe it or not, as long as Master Huo Yi stands on that platform, his words and deeds can shatter all rumors.

Zheng Haoyuan walked towards the wooden platform step by step, his steps were relaxed, but for the first time, the eyes of the audience made the young man feel the feeling of the attention of ten thousand people, this feeling he didn't like, and he didn't indulge in this kind of admiration of ten thousand people.

He came to the stage in order to sit in that position, and only when he sat in that position could he defeat Zheng Songyuan.

Zheng Haoyuan looked at Zheng Songyuan the next moment, Zheng Songyuan, who was already standing on the edge of the wooden platform at this time, was still calm, which made Zheng Haoyuan a little dissatisfied, at this time, Zheng Songyuan was not the result of the chosen one, so why could he be so calm.

Such a calm stimulated Zheng Haoyuan, Zheng Haoyuan's steps were faster, and he walked directly onto the wooden platform, he wanted Zheng Songyuan to lose convincingly, and the mother concubine had already promised him the conditions, with this condition, he could marry his cousin.

Zheng Haoyuan snorted coldly, walked up to the wooden platform step by step, and stood directly in front of the glass without looking at Zheng Songyuan.

"Fourth Highness, are you ready?" Master Huo Yi asked softly.

Wen Kangye was already looking at the hundred officials in the audience with a spring breeze at this time, there are still many things to come, although Zheng Songyuan has been devoted to the government over the years, he must have secretly cultivated a lot of his own forces, and when Fu Gong comes to power, these must be slowly cleared. And the most important thing at the moment is that Lin Xiang still has to take the opportunity to win over, at this time, he must first stabilize a large number of talents.

Every step that Wen Kangye has taken to this day has been carefully considered, it is to exchange the smallest loss for the greatest benefit, and as long as he convinces Lin Xiang, for him, it is equivalent to convincing most of the people on His Royal Highness the Prince's side.

As long as Zheng Haoyuan is seated in that position, he can start slowly......

The smoke rose, just like Zheng Songyuan standing on the wooden platform before, everyone was not like before, looking intently at the situation on the stage, thinking about everything.

Wen Kangye's gaze skimmed over the people behind Lin Xiang one by one, who could use it and which people couldn't, and he already had a general idea in his heart.

Some of the officials behind Lin Xiang noticed Wen Kangye's gaze, and they were suddenly a little embarrassed, and they didn't know whether to stare at him or respond flatteringly.

"Fourth Highness, please—" Master Huoyi's voice pulled everyone's thoughts back, and everyone's eyes returned to the wooden platform.

The young man calmly stepped forward, after all, Emperor Jingzhi was sick in bed all the year round, and since Zheng Haoyuan, he had no ability to let other concubines conceive heirs. Therefore, after Zheng Haoyuan, there was no prince.

All this, not only the Wen family thought of it, but even Lin Xiang and all the civil and military officials had already thought of it at this time, but they had not really seen the colorful light in the legends and even rumors.

For a long time, everyone did not react from the wall that had not changed in the slightest, and the Wen family, who was sure that it must be Zheng Haoyuan, did not panic, maybe the time had not yet come, or maybe it was ......

Time passed bit by bit, and those disappointed, decadent, nervous, and happy people on the field were all blinded at this time, not knowing how to express their state of mind at the moment.

Because, the high white wall of the Chenyuan Hall has not changed at all.

Whispers slowly began to sound.

Wen Kangye turned his head and looked at the wall in disbelief, impossible, how could it be.

Lin Xiang, who was paralyzed on the ground, stretched out his arm at this time and let his people help him up, he felt that he could still be rescued and lived.
