Queen's scheming

Chapter 158

Hearing Gu Yiran's words, Li Tianyou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely return this throne to you."

Li Tianyou pursed his lips, and glanced at Shen Qingyi, whose complexion was slightly yellow, with a hint of pleading: "It's just that Qingyi's health is not good. If she is outside the palace, without a good imperial doctor and comfortable conditions, I'm afraid that her body will be hurt." Don't stop, don't worry, when Qing Yi gives birth to the child safely in the palace, I will definitely take the two of them and leave together. At that time, I will say that I died of a sudden illness, and during Qing Yi's pregnancy, I will pretend to be sick and slowly Let go of power slowly, let you handle all the affairs in your hands, and when Zhen and Qing Yi leave, you will naturally be the best candidate for the throne."

The sincerity of Li Tianyou's words made the queen mother a little moved. This might not be a feasible solution.

Gu Yiran almost let go, but after thinking about the words Yang Guogong Gu Zhiheng said to him, he still said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. This king's words are not out of anger, but after careful consideration." Yes. Originally, I wanted to tell the emperor early in the morning, but I was afraid that you would not allow me, so I put it off again and again. Today, I just said it while the empress is pregnant.

I ask myself, I am not a material for being an emperor. The major affairs of the court these days have already made my brother burn out. I can't even imagine that if the emperor leaves one day, I will face such a huge and complicated matter alone. , how exhausted.

Furthermore, even if the empress had no heirs, or even the entire harem, the succession of ministers to the throne was a fantasy.Those court elders will not recognize the identity of the younger brother. At that time, they would rather find a child from the offshoot of the Li family to ascend the throne than let the younger brother, the empress dowager's adopted son, who was originally surnamed Gu, inherit the throne. throne. "

The following words are what Gu Yiran thinks about every day. He often fantasizes that one day when he ascends the throne as the emperor, Shen Qingyi can turn to his embrace, but the doubtful eyes of those old officials staring at him every day made him sober up a lot. If he wants to become emperor, he must first pass their test. Even if he has the foresight of an emperor and is more suitable to be emperor than Li Tianyou, they will not accept him. They will only think that he is seeking to usurp the throne and occupy the Li family. .

Li Tianyou knew that Gu Yiran was telling the truth, so he just bowed his head and said, "I will find a way to make them accept you!"

Gu Yiran smiled calmly and said lightly: "So the younger brother came up with a compromise method, and the queen empress added the most important bargaining chip to the younger brother's method."

"How do you say that?" Li Tianyou was at a loss for what to do, but when he heard that Gu Yiran had a solution, he immediately asked.

Gu still smiled softly, like a spring breeze in March, and said: "In the future, the son of the empress will inherit the throne. I can be the regent, and I can be the regent. I don't have to face such a difficult situation by myself. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

"Then how is it possible? Is the royal bloodline going to be confused by me? This throne belongs to you, King Cheng, not mine, let alone my child!" Li Tianyou said paranoidly.

Ever since he knew that he was the son of the eldest son, the proud Li Tianyou felt a little inferior. Coupled with the guilt towards Gu Yiran, he became more stubborn.

Gu Yiran felt a little disapproving, who doesn't want the throne, that is the lord of the world, every reigning emperor complained to others, saying that it is difficult to be an emperor, and the heights are too cold, but everyone does the same thing with gusto, thinking The throne of getting what you want is not something everyone can do.Li Tianyou's hypocrisy is really uncomfortable. It's better for him to simply say that he is reluctant to part with the throne. It's true. Maybe Gu Yiran will still admire his frankness.

Gu Yiran continued to smile harmlessly, and said: "Brother Huang is really stubborn. The queen mother didn't say anything about the royal blood here, but you just insist on it. Let's settle this matter like this. Brother I really don't want to sit in that cold seat!"

The queen mother was silent for a long time. In her eyes, Gu Yiran and Li Tianyou were no more important. If she was someone else, she would definitely say that the royal blood should not be stained in the slightest. But when the matter fell on Li Tianyou, the queen mother hesitated .

She raised Li Tianyou from a young age, and she knew exactly how much Li Tianyou worked hard for the throne.Li Tianyou felt that he had occupied Gu Yiran's throne, but it was not the case. Although Gu Yiran had been suffering from illness for 20 years, he was considered carefree in Yang Guogong's mansion, and Li Tianyou had to face the reserve position in the palace since he was a child. Li Tianyou survived the disputes, enthroned as emperor at the age of eight, getting up early and being greedy every day, not daring to slack off, the political situation of the previous dynasty, and the suspicious look of the court elders, Li Tianyou survived one by one. tough days.

The queen mother kept turning the rosewood-wrapped golden thread Buddhist beads in her hand, and finally said: "Since you have said so, your majesty, don't refuse, this throne is only on the surface. Clearly, you have paid more than 01:30 points for this throne these years, you really know how warm you are when you drink water."

"Queen Mother, I'm not after all..." Li Tianyou was in a complicated state of mind. The sudden change of identity brought him not only shock, but also a huge psychological gap.

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Tianyou lovingly, and said in a gentle voice: "Speaking of it, this matter is a grievance between the Ai family and Mrs. Yang Guogong, and now the Ai family is not doing well, but this suffering is for the two of you. Ran'er's thinking like this is right in Aijia's mind, Aijia can see that you are more suitable to be an emperor than Ran'er, and Aijia also believes that you will definitely be a wise king who will last forever, and that is enough."

Gu Yiran frowned slightly, and smiled wryly in his heart, even the queen mother would not help him, it really is the end of the world, it is a foregone conclusion.

"Your Majesty, the empress's pregnancy is really a major event for the whole world to celebrate. The Emperor should have a big banquet for all the ministers!" Gu Yiran looked at Li Tianyou and Shen Qingyi with a smile.

Just now Shen Qingyi and Li Tianyou looked at each other affectionately, the knowing smiles of the two of them were like a sharp knife piercing Gu Yiran's heart, it was him who made them perfect, shouldn't she be the person Shen Qingyi should be most grateful for?Knowing that her position as empress is preserved, and the position of future empress dowager is also preserved, is that why Shen Qingyi will show a relieved smile?Shouldn't she be looking sad now?She used to keep saying that she didn't like the imperial palace, but liked the mountains and rivers outside the palace, but now that she imprisoned her whole life in the imperial palace, she didn't feel sad?

Gu still didn't want to admit that for Li Tianyou's sake, Shen Qingyi would rather be confined in the golden cage of the palace. He kept telling himself that Shen Qingyi was a liar, a complete liar...
