Princess of the auxiliary country

Princess Ningyang's words made the two people next to her look stunned.

But no matter how Princess Qingyang asked, she would not explain, but Huo Junyao was a little thoughtful.

But some people don't quite understand what the benefits of the queen's doing this are.

Seeing her look confused for a while, Princess Ningyang stood up without saying anything and said, "I'm going to see where those two little things went."

After she left, Princess Qingyang waved her hand in front of Huo Junyao. When Huo Junyao came to her senses, she asked, "Little sister, what did mother mean by what you said just now?"

"Don't we already know what the Queen has done? Why do we still underestimate her so much?"

"What mother means is that there are still some things we haven't seen here. I thought about it just now, but there are some things I can't figure out."

As for the things she thought of, she had no intention of telling Princess Qingyang, after all, it was related to the crown prince.

The issue of crown prince here is not about the person of the prince, but the position of the prince.

When Wen Ruo came over to ask her to teach him, Huo Jingzhi gave her a few words of advice.

Both the emperor and the empress intended to let Wen Ruoshang grow up, and if the prince was unable to do so in the future, they would replace him with Wen Ruoshang.

But what Princess Ningyang said just now made Huo Junyao think of something.

As the eldest princess Ningyang said, although Cao Guogong was extremely disappointed with Zhao Yan'er, his only daughter, he didn't even give him any help in the past few years. He just held his breath.

Now that the person is gone, the breath is gone. Without the breath to block it, the only blood relationship and emotion will return immediately.

There is a high probability that Cao Guogong would place this emotion on the child Zhao Yaner just gave birth to.

After all, this is his daughter's flesh and blood, and she can also be said to be the closest person to Cao Guogong in the world.

He would never see anything happen to this child, and since this child was in the center of the whirlpool, Cao Guogong would definitely protect him.

This means that if he doesn't want anything to happen to the child, he will definitely not see anything happen to the prince. After all, if the prince is gone, the child will definitely not end well.

Since ancient times, the seizure of heirs has been bloody and cruel. Patricide and brother-killing are commonplace.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just say that in the current Yu Dynasty, the former prince died of illness, and the throne fell to Emperor Zhaowu. It can be said that it was a very peaceful rise to the throne, without a bloody battle for the right to inherit the throne.

What is the situation of King Qin now?
Far away from the capital, even in the fiefdom, they are cautious. There is still the Supreme Emperor watching. If not the Supreme Emperor is watching, King Qin's life will probably be even more difficult.

After all, the person sitting in that position will not allow unstable factors to exist. Even if he is confident, he will still consider and guard against it.

Therefore, once the prince fails, the ones most likely to take over are the kings of Qi and Chu who are currently competing most fiercely with the prince.

As for Prince Wen Ruo, except for a few people in the court who saw some signs, others basically didn't take him seriously.

After all, he is still too young, only eleven years old this year.

By the time he comes of age, the King of Qi and the King of Chu will be almost thirty. At that time, they have been running the court for who knows how many years. How can a young man be able to compete?

Therefore, there is a high probability that Cao Guogong will help the prince to fight against the king of Qi and the king of Chu in order to save his little grandson, because once these two people come to power, the child will definitely not fare well given the current grievances between them.

In short, Queen Shen's elimination of Zhao Yan'er was equivalent to helping the prince to win over Cao Guogong. And this is what Huo Junyao doesn't quite understand.

Aren't you already thinking about changing to Wenruo? Why do you still want to help the prince accumulate power?
Isn't this making it more difficult for Prince Wen Ruo?

Although she couldn't figure this out, she still very much agreed with what I said just now about Queen Shen's methods, and they still underestimated it.

Looking at this hand, it can be said that it is so interconnected that no one outside can find any mistakes.

First of all, I would like to express my concern and take care of everything personally.

Beneath the beauty lies a cold calculation.

She had guessed that the queen's method might be to make the fetus too full, thus making it difficult for Zhao Yaner to give birth.

And they also sent out all the imperial doctors to save face. Although there is some gambling in it, it has to be said that once it succeeds, no one can find the slightest mistake.

In this way, not only can she get rid of Zhao Yan'er, whom she dislikes the most, but she can also use her child to bind Cao Guogong to the prince's command.

As for failure, I think the queen has already arranged a back-up plan, and this back-up plan is very likely to be Zhao Yan'er's position.

So what if a mere concubine gave birth to a child? He is not qualified to raise him personally at all, so he will definitely be raised by the Crown Princess.

Even if you are not taken into the lap of the Crown Princess, your status will be improved a lot if you can be raised by your legitimate mother since childhood.

Zhao Yaner wants her child to be well, so she doesn't dare to behave like a monster. She will even be wary in the future. Isn't it painful to see her child being raised by others?

It can even be said that such a thing is more uncomfortable than death.

And similarly, because of this child, Cao Guogong will gradually favor the prince little by little, it's just a matter of speed.

"What does she mean?"

Until the evening, Huo Junyao was a little confused. What on earth was Queen Shen doing?
Since you want to change the prince, why do you need to increase the prince's help?
Isn’t this making yourself unhappy?
She couldn't figure it out even if she thought about it. Over in the East Palace, the prince was very happy, yes, he was happy.

Regarding Zhao Yan'er's death, he was just a little sad when he heard the news. Later, after being reminded by his staff, he found that Zhao Yan'er's death was very good for him.

The child is his best bargaining chip to win over Cao Guogong.

"I really didn't expect that I could get something that I couldn't get after all my hard work."

"Yan'er, you really did a great favor to me."

In the dormitory where Zhao Yan'er once lived, the prince sat at the table, reaching out and gently touching a painting that Zhao Yan'er had painted a few days ago.

"Don't worry, the child will be taken good care of and he will never be wronged."

After speaking in a low voice, he slowly stood up and left the palace. Before leaving the gate, he said to the young chamberlain beside him: "Seal this place up. No one is allowed to come in or out, and the things inside are not allowed to be moved."

The little chamberlain quickly accepted the order, thinking that this was not a good place. It was so remote in the East Palace.

In the past, Concubine Zhao would come here every day when the prince was here. The servants like them had no choice but to come here often. Now that Concubine Zhao is gone, the Prince is afraid that he will not come here often in the future. Who will go to the remote place without any trouble? Where to come from?
