Chapter 254 He Is Really Unworthy

All the smart people present, once the imperial concubine said this, everyone basically guessed the meaning behind her words.

His Majesty has been on the throne for many years, but not only is the post vacant, but even the candidate for the crown prince has not been decided for a long time.

When the Second Prince was alive, the courtiers still thought that His Majesty might have hesitated and wanted to choose between the Second Prince and King Su.

But the second prince has passed away for 20 years, and His Majesty hasn't mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince for the whole 20 years, so it's no wonder that the imperial concubine is not in a hurry.

Su Shixia remembered that Mr. Mo had mentioned to her before that the Holy Majesty now has three sons and a daughter.

Needless to say, Princess Le Jia, there is no precedent for a princess in Tangling Kingdom to inherit the Datong.

Although the third prince, King An, is qualified to inherit the throne, he is born of a virtuous concubine.Concubine Xian is not favored, and Concubine Xian's natal family is only a court official, and it can't provide much help to the third prince.

In comparison, the eldest prince King Su took up the word "long", and he was the best candidate for the crown prince in terms of etiquette.

But he also has a fatal flaw - his mother and concubine are imperial concubines.

As we all know, the imperial concubine is the princess of Xiqi Kingdom.But now, after Qin Yi's victory over Xiqi State, the relationship between Xiqi State and Dongling State has been on fire.

With the blood of the enemy country, this alone is basically tantamount to completely ruining the possibility of King Su inheriting the throne of Dongling Kingdom.

Of course, this is just what Su Shixia thinks.

Since the imperial concubine dared to openly raise the issue of the crown prince at the Shengshang's birthday banquet today, in the opinion of the imperial concubine, her son is the most suitable to be the crown prince of the Tangling Kingdom, or the emperor of the Tangling Kingdom.

She had endured and waited for 20 years before, and now, she obviously didn't want to wait any longer.

"Your Majesty, my concubine knows that the second prince is your favorite son. If the second prince is still alive and you appoint him as the crown prince, the concubine will never say no, but the second prince has already Gone."

Sure enough, the imperial concubine didn't even want to go around the corner this time, and went straight to the point.

"The position of the crown prince has not been determined for 20 years, and the officials in the court have complained about it..."

"Is it because the courtiers have a lot of complaints, or is it because you, the noble concubine, have a lot of complaints about the fact that I don't have a crown prince?"

His Majesty obviously looked a little drunk before.

But when he said this, his voice didn't sound half drunk, and when his sharp eyes fell on the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine froze involuntarily.

The entire hall suddenly became audible.

The words that Emperor Dongling followed were heard by everyone like thunder.

"The noble concubine is reminding me that it's time to make your son King Su the crown prince?"

Having been directly exposed in such a public way, the muscles of the imperial concubine's cheeks trembled, and she pulled the corners of her lips with all her strength, as if she wanted to force a smile.

But being watched by the Holy Majesty's cold and sharp eyes as if examining a sinner, she still couldn't laugh after all.

"Look at what you said, Your Majesty, why is it the concubine's son, King Su? Isn't King Su your Majesty's son?"

The imperial concubine was still leaning over to toast the Emperor Dongling, but now she sat up straight and looked straight at the Emperor Dongling.

"Now that the throne is vacant, since there is no queen, and there is no prince born to the queen, King Su is your eldest son, so what's wrong with letting him inherit the crown prince? Why not?"

"The harem is not allowed to meddle in politics. The concubine knows that if the concubine takes the initiative to bring up the matter of setting up a prince today, it will definitely annoy His Majesty, but the concubine just refuses to accept it!"

Maybe it's true that she has been suppressed too hard these years. Once there is an outlet, the imperial concubine's emotions can't be suppressed at the moment, and she unconsciously aggravates her tone and raises her voice.

"King Su is capable of both literature and martial arts. Since he was sensible, he has never slackened in his homework. After entering the court, he has done everything you ordered impeccably. What is your dissatisfaction with King Su? In your opinion, with Su Wang has such qualifications, isn’t he worthy of inheriting the crown prince?!”

"Yes, he is not worthy."

A few simple words, like a slap on the face of the imperial concubine, made her face turn pale in an instant.

None of the people present dared to make a sound at this moment, they all lowered their heads, they didn't dare to look at the faces of the Holy Majesty and the noble concubine, they just wanted to plug their own ears and stay out of it completely.

The Holy Majesty didn't care at all about the reaction of the imperial concubine.

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down, then said indifferently: "Feng Muyao, you should know that everything has a cause and an effect."

"From the time you planned to kill Concubine Shu and Ye'er 20 years ago, you should know that even if I have no other heirs under my knees in this life, I will never give up the throne of Dongling Kingdom if I surrender the throne to the collateral clan. into the hands of your son!"

"Just because he has the blood of the Xiqi Kingdom's royal family, he is not worthy to touch the throne of our Dongling Kingdom in this life!"

"You should also be thankful that you are the princess of the Xiqi Kingdom, and that King Su crawled out of your stomach. Otherwise, I should have killed your mother and child 20 years ago! How could you have left your life to die?" Now!"

The wine glass slammed heavily on the table, making a dull thud, breaking the silence in the room.

After listening to His Majesty's words, the imperial concubine was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed out loud.

"I've waited for 20 years. I thought that 20 years of love between husband and wife would be enough to make you forget about Qin Xinyi and your favorite son, Mo Yeling. I thought that as long as I treat you sincerely, as long as Zhao'er behaves well enough , One day, you will be able to treat our mother and child fairly."

"It seems... After all, I was thinking too much."

The imperial concubine lowered her head, half of her face was hidden in the darkness under the dim candlelight in the hall, making it hard to distinguish the emotions on her face.

She murmured: "Zhao'er is right, I am naive, I shouldn't have any illusions about you from the beginning."

"His Majesty."

The imperial concubine stood up slowly, looked down at the Emperor Dongling who was still sitting on the seat drinking, and didn't even bother to raise his head to look at her, and said in a cold voice.

"You said that you haven't touched our mother and son in the past 20 years because I am the princess of Xiqi Kingdom, and you don't want to completely offend the royal family of Xiqi Kingdom because of me and Zhao'er."

"But now, the Dongling Kingdom and the Xiqi Kingdom have long been in the same situation. Sooner or later, the two countries will have a life-and-death battle. Whether you kill me and King Su, this enmity has already been settled."

"King Su is not in Shangjing today, even if you want to kill him, you can't kill him."

"It's my concubine who wants to ask you one last time today."

The imperial concubine's eyes were fixed on the Emperor Dongling, and the cold eyes in her eyes made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

"As long as you agree to establish King Su as the crown prince, King Su will still be your son, and all the territory conquered by King Su will still be called Dongling Kingdom——Would you like to establish the crown prince, or not?"
