Star Sea Hunter

Feng Lanxi looked at her calmly and said: "Could that position belong to me? Your point of view is too untenable!"

"Because now you are the highest-ranking imperial concubine in the palace and the person most trusted by His Majesty, apart from you, the other sisters probably have no hope of winning this lady!" Xiao Muhan said, "Although Luo Qingyue gave birth The second princess, but because of her clone status, there must be a lot of opposition from the court; Zhong Yuying will also not be accepted by the court officials because of her brother's treason, let alone other people!"

"It's a pity that you once had the status of a former concubine, which will become an irreparable defect for you. In addition, you have no heirs, so... Even if His Majesty has such thoughts, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to achieve your wish!"

The wise man smiled slightly, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and then said in a calm manner:

"You are right, because of my past, the position of the Lord of the Palace is definitely not my turn! No matter how much His Majesty loves you, even if I am the actual controller of the palace now, I want to To live up to the name is still an impossible luxury, and I myself have never thought of getting that position!"

"Not necessarily!" Xiao Muhan stared at her and examined her body, and suddenly said:

"I have a way to let you really get that position, as long as you promise me one thing!"

"A solution?" The wise man smiled calmly, "Don't rush to talk, let me guess, it should be you who proposed to His Majesty to adopt Yun Qixuan under my knee, so that I have the most important The bargaining chip will also prompt His Majesty to make a real decision to seal the empress! Is that how it is?"

"As for what I want to promise you, it is nothing more than that I will treat Yun Qixuan as my own in the future, and do my best to keep her position as the first heir, and help her successfully inherit the big position in the future! Right? "

Xiao Muhan looked at her in surprise: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. That's right, that's what I think! As long as you can agree to this condition, so that Yun Qixuan will not be implicated by me, and one day in the future, I will commit suicide right now." Nothing!"

"In this way, you can securely occupy the Phoenix Seat as you wish. With your brains, no one in this palace can compete with you! When Yun Qixuan succeeds to the throne in the future, you will be the Empress Dowager of the Empire. You will be honored and honored. This life!"

However, what puzzled her was that the wise man did not show any joy, but looked at her with pity instead:

"Do you think that the queen's seat is really so important to me? Without it, I can't live this life? So much so that I have to bet everything on myself to fight for it?"

"I'm a little confused by what you said!" Xiao Muhan said suspiciously, "Isn't that why you came here today? What an honor it is to be in charge of the Central Palace and the mother of the world! To unify Xinghai, you will be the most honorable woman in the entire Xinghai world at that time, doesn't this make you tempted?"

Feng Lanxi shook her head, and asked gently: "Do you think, for the women in the palace, is His Majesty's favor or the Empress's position more important?"

"This, of course..." Xiao Muhan's eyes flashed, and he said with a wry smile:

"I understand what you mean! Without His Majesty's favor, even with the title of queen, life is very sad, even worse than a favored court lady! However, this problem does not exist for you now, as long as you Yes, this seat will definitely belong to you!"

"If I had to choose between the two, I would rather not have that seat!" Feng Lanxi said indifferently, "To be a man, I have to be content. I have already received enough favor from His Majesty. If I still want to be dissatisfied, I will fight for the Queen's seat." Then I have to fight for the crown prince for your child. For the next few years, I will be busy calculating this and that every day, and even in order to keep all of this, I have to do many things that go against my conscience! "

"I've seen too many days of intrigue and intrigue, and I'm really tired of this kind of life! I don't want to be the second Zhu Zhaoyuan, all this is not what I want!"

"But, your child can be the emperor in the future..." Xiao Muhan still couldn't understand her thoughts.

Feng Lanxi sighed: "Sounds very tempting, but for a woman like you and me, what's the point? The best and best result is just to sit in the queen mother's position until Just die of old age! Is it really worth it to bet all of yourself for this?"

"And..." She stared at Xiao Muhan, lowered her voice and said:

"Do you think that the princes and daughters born in the past few decades really have a chance to aspire to the throne?"

Xiao Muhan was startled, and immediately nodded with a wry smile: "You are still thoughtful, you are worthy of being a wise man, some things are just wishful thinking on my part!"

Feng Lanxi looked down at the bloody phoenix-patterned jade bracelet on Hao's wrist, and said plainly: "Our Majesty is really too young, and he is the founder of the country, and he will be in charge of the divine weapon for a long time! Unless he himself takes the initiative to retire, how can these prematurely born heirs have a chance to take the throne?"

"Being a father is too powerful, and the life of being a child will not be too easy! Look at the history books, those kings who are too wise and mighty, who can successfully ascend the throne as the first prince they appointed?"

"Prince Fusu of Emperor Qin Shihuang, Prince Wei of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Prince Chengqian of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Prince Zhu Biao of Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty... Not to mention ascending to the throne, none of these princes can die well! Even in the interstellar era, such Examples are not uncommon! For example, Prince Orofe of Phirosis the Great, and Prince Ivan of the Gnasrock Empire, were both tabooed by their own fathers because they were too outstanding and did not know how to hide their edge. I found a reason to kill him!"

"That's why you decided not to go into this muddy water, because this is basically a marathon of power struggle. You have to be cautious, walk on thin ice, and operate with trepidation for decades or hundreds of years before you can see results, and There are too many variables in the middle! Even with the cultivation base of a god-level wise man, it is difficult to guarantee that you will have the last laugh! Isn't it?" Xiao Muhan looked at her with undisguised admiration .

Feng Lanxi nodded slightly: "You understand! I am very satisfied with everything I have now. As long as I can capture His Majesty's heart, I will naturally live a leisurely life in the future. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me!"

"If I have a child in the future, I will protect her from growing up, and then ask His Majesty to entrust her away, away from the vortex of power in the imperial capital. As long as I follow the rules, I will naturally be able to keep her life safe!"

"Sister, you have to understand that a woman with three thousand pets will never end well. Monopolizing all the pets is equivalent to monopolizing all karma and all resentment. At that time, everyone in the entire harem will Be my enemy! No matter how powerful I am, can I fight against everyone?"

"So I won't argue about who the queen of the empire is, who the heir apparent is, let His Majesty make up his own mind on these issues!"

"Okay, I understand what you mean! But," Xiao Muhan asked humbly, "I still don't understand why you pleaded for me that day? If it wasn't for you, His Majesty wouldn't be able to change his mind easily. It stands to reason that the women in the harem You should be the one who hates me the most! Why do you still speak for me?"

Feng Lanxi said solemnly: "I did this not for you, but for myself and all the sisters in this palace!"

"This rebellion has had a great impact on His Majesty's disposition! Even his attitude towards us has undergone some subtle changes. If things go on like this, he may become as ruthless and ungrateful as the previous emperor. That would be a disaster for all the sisters in the palace, so I must try to prevent this from happening!"

"I'm pleading for you, I just don't want His Majesty to set the precedent of killing the queen, because once some things are done, the psychological barrier will be much smaller if you do it in the future! And as the founder of the country, His Majesty, any words and deeds of him, It will be recorded by the historian and become an important basis for future generations to make decisions about certain things! So I can do something good for the future sisters by doing this!"

Xiao Muhan was completely convinced: "I have to admit that you are indeed more qualified to sit in that seat than me, even Fang Yuqing may not be as good as you! If that guy Fang Xuling could let you be his queen back then, the Shuofeng Empire's Guo Zuo is not so easy to cut off!"

"There is no need to say this, history cannot be assumed!" Feng Lanxi smiled, picked up the document, put it on the lamp flame, and watched it slowly turn into ashes in the flames.

"Although in the imperial palace, intrigue and jealousy are unavoidable, but I still want to keep these things as few as possible. This is also His Majesty's wish! So no matter what the reason is, this kind of thing should not happen!" She explained, "Besides, I also believe that your intentions for His Majesty will remain the same. It was just a moment of confusion. In addition, your family is indeed too worried, which led to today's situation!"

Xiao Muhan felt her nose a little sore, after all, there is still someone in this palace who can understand her thoughts.Over the past few days, she has thought about dying to show her ambition more than once, but she has not made up her mind just because she misses Yun Qixuan.

"Then what does Your Majesty plan to do with me? Let's talk now!" Her wish was fulfilled, and she really calmed down.

Feng Lanxi said: "Your Majesty still has some resentment towards you, so you will be imprisoned here forever. Of course, your life can be saved, and as far as daily expenses are concerned, it will still be provided by the standard of a noble concubine! As for the others, I can't Guaranteed what!"

"This result is much better than I imagined!" Xiao Muhan sighed, "And it's all because of your persuasion that His Majesty will agree? Well, there is one last thing, Yun Qixuan... ..."

"You don't have to worry about this!" Feng Lanxi laughed, "Although your family is over, with His Majesty's temperament, he will never take another child to vent his anger! So the princess's daily expenses and various treatment are all It won’t change! A few days ago, there was a snobbish chief servant who tampered with the clothes and jewelry supplied to the princess, shoddy them, and deducted them for no reason. His Majesty was very annoyed when he found out, and ordered him to be executed immediately! What else can you do? worried?"

"Cultivate your body here! When I have a chance in the future, I will plead with His Majesty for you!"

……

Gnaxrock Empire.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is back!"

In the meeting hall of the imperial palace, the prime minister, Duke Broganin, said respectfully to the emperor on the throne.

Ulyanov IV looked much haggard, with sunken eye sockets and an unshaven beard. He was immersed in processing the memorial. When he heard the prime minister's voice, he raised his head to look at him, and said expressionlessly:

"It looks like you look good. You must have lived comfortably after the past. Tell me! What kind of harsh conditions did His Majesty the Emperor Yun of the Xinghui Empire offer?"
