For a while, everyone in the palace speculated about the candidate for the new prince. From Concubine Xian, I learned that there are no more than two candidates for the crown prince now: Wu Wangke and Wei Wangtai.

King Wu was highly discerning, virtuous and wise, and enjoyed high prestige among the courtiers. And Wei Wangya is good at literature, talented, and intelligent, and is deeply loved by his father.

In my heart, I really hope that Wu Wangke can become the crown prince. Although I had been used by him and the King of Wei, at least he had no intention of killing me.

However, things didn't go my way. One afternoon, I was half-lying on the bed and had just received the decoction from Yuhan, and before it was delivered to my mouth, Mingda came. Mingda has to see his father every day, and the progress of the matter of the prince is far clearer than that of the virtuous concubine.

"Mingda, why don't you see Brother Nine these days?" I asked. Since the crown prince was deposed, the king of Jin has not been to Luo Yingxuan for a while.

"Brother Jiu is busy dealing with the matter of Lichu, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come to visit you Jingjing in the near future."

"Huh?" I was overjoyed. If King Jin can become the crown prince, it will be the best.

"Hey!" Mingda sighed, "Speaking from the heart, I don't think Brother Jiu has much hope." You also know that the most promising candidates for the crown prince at the moment are the third and fourth brothers. If I were my father, for the sake of the country, for the well-being of the people, I would only choose between the third brother and the fourth brother. Brother Jiu is too mild, weak, and indecisive, and he is indeed not a superior candidate for the king of a country. ”

"What Mingda said makes sense. I think that if you are as wise as your father, you will definitely make the right choice for the people of the world. ”

"But the fact is that my father is also hesitating for the election of the crown prince." Mingda sighed helplessly, "It's just that in my opinion, the third brother lost in the bloodline." Although he has a noble bloodline, his mother is a remnant of the Sui Dynasty after all, and she is a concubine, so it is inevitable to attract the criticism of the courtiers. Therefore, the fourth brother's chances of winning should be greater at present. ”

"What!" I was shocked and spilled more than half of the medicine in my hand.

Yuhan saw that I had sprinkled the medicine and hurriedly stepped forward to change the bedding for me. And I secretly said in my heart: "If I really let King Wei become the crown prince, then I will die soon!" ”

Mingda looked at it on the side, and asked puzzledly: "Now that my eldest brother has been demoted, although I am sad, I am also relieved for Jingjing." But why is Jingjing frowning now? ”

I looked at Mingda fixedly, and I was really conflicted in my heart. Although I don't want to stir up trouble, it is a matter of life and death, and I can't be silent any longer. I really don't want to die in □□ at such an age.

"Jingjing has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"You and I sisters are of the same heart, what else can't we say?"

I finally made up my mind, and I left Yuhan. When it was just me and Mingda in the room, I got up and got out of bed and knelt down in front of Mingda.

"Jingjing, what are you doing here?" Mingda didn't think I would do this, and he seemed a little at a loss.

"Please Mingda save me!"

"Get up and speak." Mingda hurriedly helped me up, "What are you doing here?" Why? ”

I told Mingda and everything I heard that ****. In the end, I asked Mingda desolately: "If King Wei becomes the crown prince, Mingda thinks, will he let me go?" ”

Mingda was shocked, and was momentarily speechless when I asked. She thought for a moment and said, "This happened too suddenly, let me think about it again." But Jingjing, don't worry, it's about your life and death, I won't sit idly by, and I will definitely try to keep you safe. ”

Mingda finished speaking and hurried away. I looked at her graceful but slightly tired figure and couldn't help but sigh. I can only bet now that Mingda's sisterhood for me will outweigh her brotherhood and sister love for King Wei. But if I lose, I don't resent Mingda. After all, King Wei is her brother-in-law, and if King Wei becomes the crown prince, or even the Son of Heaven in the future, Mingda's identity will be even more noble. It was really hard for her to make such a difficult choice.
