Chapter 166; confess
And the sudden promise of the Emperor Taishang also made the people around him open their mouths wide.
Even Emperor Zhaowu was the same.
Although he was dissatisfied and disappointed with the prince's series of performances during this time, he really didn't really think about deposing the prince in his heart.
First, this is his only son-in-law at present, and secondly, it is naturally because this is the child born of the woman he loves the most.
If it had not reached the point of no return, it would have been impossible for him to want to depose the crown prince.
But now that the Emperor Taishang has promised, he also figured out what the Emperor Taishang meant, and looked at Huo Junyao with mixed feelings in his heart.
Besides, the eldest princess of Ningyang and Huo Jingzhi, when they heard this, their hearts jumped, to be honest, they very much hoped to pull the prince down.
This will reduce a lot of crisis for them.
What if the crown prince is deposed, even if he is still a prince in the future?
Since ancient times, there can be a few people who have been deposed by the crown prince who have a good end, so as long as the prince is transposed, then they will not be threatened in the future.
Although they are very hopeful in their hearts, they also know that they can't show it, otherwise they will be in even more trouble.
Not to mention that the emperor will see that they have no two hearts, and he will be suspicious of them in many places in the future, so it is still unknown whether the emperor's promise at this time can really be fulfilled in the end.
"Grandpa, you're laughing, how could I have such a request?"
"However, since you have spoken of this, and the emperor's uncle is also there, then Yaoyao has something to say."
Speaking of this, Huo Junyao felt that she could also talk about it well.
To be honest, since that palace banquet, she has been holding back a lot of words in her heart.
"Well, then you can talk about it."
When the emperor's words fell, the eldest princess of Ningyang on the side immediately stood up and retreated from the red sleeves and other subordinates.
Although she didn't know what her daughter was going to say, she also knew that it must be something related to the prince, and this kind of thing still couldn't be known to the people below.
After Red Sleeves and the others retreated far away, Huo Junyao spoke; "Your elders know my situation."
"I didn't pay much attention to the things that I had been displaced in the past, on the contrary, I was so grateful that my father and mother could find me."
"At the same time, I am also grateful for some of the encounters in the past few years, otherwise I would not have met that strange master."
The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor listened silently, and the eldest princess of Ningyang and Huo Jingzhi's father and son on the side were very touched in their hearts.
The daughter and sister have been living in exile for many years, and they can grow up to such a share, they are both distressed and relieved.
"When I returned to the capital, to be honest, I just wanted to live a stable life."
"But the queen mother remembered the events of the year, and deliberately wanted to match me and the prince, although I didn't say anything about it at the time, in fact, I refused in my heart."
"Actually, the purpose of going to the palace banquet that time was to talk to the prince about it in person, and I didn't have to take the life-saving grace back then."
"In that case, my mother made such a choice, it is right, in the face of the righteousness of the family and the country, my sacrifices are nothing, I have no resentment, and I am not afraid of the slightest desire to rely on this kindness and get any benefits from the royal family."
As she spoke unhurriedly, the eyes of the eldest princess of Ningyang turned red.
In the past few years, when her daughter was exiled, how tormented was her heart? Nobody knows.
Did she ever regret it? To be honest, there are times, and even sometimes, she has resentment, but as Huo Junyao said, in the face of the righteousness of her family and country, even if she regrets it, even if she is resentful for a moment, she has never shown it, and she has no intention of doing anything with it.
The girl is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
The eldest princess of Ningyang thought silently in her heart, and Huo Jingzhi on the side was also uncomfortable at this time.
"As a result, I met the prince, but before I could explain my intentions, the prince spoke ill of me, and I didn't even have a chance to speak, so I was pushed inexplicably."
"As for the rest of the matter, everyone knows that Zhao Yan'er saved me."
With that, she smiled mockingly and continued; "For the twists and turns in this, everyone knows it in their hearts, and I also know it in my heart, so there is no need to say more."
"Actually, what people don't know, in the face of that situation, I'm actually quite happy in my heart."
"Although I was burdened with some bad rumors, at least my goal was achieved, so I didn't plan to worry about anything, so I was fine."
"I was born in the countryside, and carrying a little rumor doesn't make much of a difference to me."
"It's just that I never expected that my concession not only did not let the matter end here, but the other party even came behind a series of persecutions."
When she said the word "kill everything", her tone suddenly became much heavier.
Emperor Zhaowu on the side lowered his head in shame, and Emperor Taishang glanced at Emperor Zhaowu coldly, and neither of them spoke.
"Actually, I really want to ask, what kind of hatred do I have with the crown prince, and I can afford him to go out of his way to trouble me so much?"
"I haven't said much from beginning to end, whether it's the framing of the palace banquet or the series of targets that followed, I have at best fought back a little."
When she said this, the mood of the people present was different.
The Huo family is naturally distressed and angry, yes, she has only come back for a short time, and she has never met the prince a few times, where is there a grudge? Is it worthy of such persecution?
"To be honest, although I don't understand what he did, I didn't pay too much attention to it at first."
"It wasn't until that red sleeves were beaten that I realized that it wasn't just a blind concession that could make the other party let go."
"And the prince can be so unreasonable in the face of a person who goes to contribute to the country and share the emperor's worries, which also makes me feel a deep crisis."
"So at that moment, I did think about getting him out of power."
Speaking of this, she paused, bowed slightly to the Emperor and the Emperor and said; "Please also ask my grandfather and the emperor to forgive me."
However, Emperor Taishang waved his hand, and Emperor Zhaowu on the side also said with guilt on his face; "You can have such an idea, it is reasonable, from this point, the prince is indeed unworthy of sitting in this position."
Huo Junyao's words were very realistic, and there was no addition or cover-up, which made Emperor Zhaowu even more guilty.
Indeed, since the prince can make a move on such a person for no reason, it is indeed very chilling, not to mention that Huo Junyao still has the Ji Guo Mansion behind him, if the prince is really on the throne, with his virtue, the Ji Guo Mansion is afraid that it will really be difficult to escape the doom.
For the sake of his own safety, people have the idea of deposing the prince, what can he say?
