Canglan Empress

Chapter 158

Xuanyin raised her eyes and looked at him silently.

After thinking about the meaning of his words, she soon understood, Xuanyin nodded slowly: "I see."

Some things don't need to be said too thoroughly, they already know it in their hearts.

Emperor Tiande is not too old, he is in his prime, if there is no accident, at least another 20 years will be fine.

Among the adult princes in the royal family who are eligible to inherit the throne, there are only the second prince Xu Wang under the queen's knee, the fourth prince Yuan Wang under the knee of Concubine Shu, and the third prince Heng Wang under the knee of Duan concubine.

Of course, King Heng couldn't compete with King Yuan and King Xu in the power of his relatives, so Emperor Tiande tabooed the Queen and Concubine Shu the most.

"Since ancient times, many emperors have had contradictory mentality." Yaohua smiled lightly, with a lazy smile, "If a son is too cowardly, he will hate iron for being weak and think that it is difficult to become a great weapon. If a son is too strong, he will become his father's favorite Bogey, it's really a dilemma."

Therefore, it is difficult to see the true feelings in the royal family, and even the father and son are often guarded against suspicion.

"Monarch and subject, father and son, monarch and subject come first, father and son follow." Xuanyin said casually, "In front of the throne of power, the weight of family affection is too light, so light that it is not worth mentioning."

Speaking of this, Xuanyin raised her eyes: "Yuan Wang, Xu Wang and Heng Wang, apart from the influence of foreign relatives and party members, what is their ability in governing the country?"

"It doesn't really matter how capable they are." Yao Hua said lightly, "The power of their relatives alone is enough to disqualify them from inheriting the throne."

Xuanyin raised her eyebrows, looked at him quietly for a moment, then raised her lips lazily: "Yaohua, has anyone ever said that you are a little fox who has become a spirit?"

"No one has ever said that." Yaohua shook his head calmly, with a casual tone from the bottom of his heart, "Besides, I only heard that the old fox has become a master."

"Since it is a fox that has become a spirit, of course it can be transformed at any time." Xuanyin said, suddenly thinking of Xue Yan and that little wolf cub, a strange emotion flashed across her heart.

Then she shook her head, shook off the absurd thoughts in her mind, picked up the teacup, and took a sip absently.

I was thinking in my heart, will the little wolf cub come over tonight?

Yaohua glanced at Xuanyin, said nothing, and focused on eating with his head down.

Putting down the teacup, Xuanyin rested her chin carelessly, and when she raised her eyes, there was a bit of insightful wisdom in her eyes.

"Leaving aside power and ability, one thing is certain."

"Which point?" Yao Hua said lightly.

"No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the other princes cannot guarantee that I will grow old safely under the eyes of the new emperor."

After a pause, "Especially you."

Hearing this, Yaohua paused for a while while eating, and then ate as if nothing had happened, with no special expression on her soft and delicate face.

Xuanyin rested her chin and looked at him calmly.

A prince who has lost his mother and has no one to protect him, but has been able to disguise himself as a woman for 12 years and grow up peacefully in the palace alone, who can trust him?

There is no need to delve into any reasons, just the fact that he can live on his own is enough to make everyone have an extra layer of defense against him.

As he gets older in the future, this kind of defense will only become more and more serious, until it turns into killing intent.

After eating almost, Yaohua put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

After a while, Youyou raised his eyes, and he played with taste: "Don't take my affairs too seriously for the time being, but you, how is the progress with the King of War?"
