good wife

Chapter 696: A Chain Plan (3)
The palace banquet was over, and in the Chongwen Hall, only the emperor was left on the high seat, with a lonely expression, as if there was a trace of sadness!

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You'd better go to bed earlier." Du Hai couldn't bear to see the Emperor like this.

The emperor sighed, "I'm afraid we can't hide the matter about Concubine Li."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Concubine Li has already passed away, and there is no basis for her empty words. Besides, who can say clearly what happened back then?"

The emperor shook his head, "The empress has deep plans, she won't let it go! Today is also the eldest prince of Miaojiang who is blocking her, otherwise, I'm afraid that Princess Lixiang will not know what to say! Empress The partner of cooperation for many years should be this Concubine Hua of King Miao Jiang! Send someone to notify King Miao Jiang."

"Yes!"

"Princess Lixiang is somewhat like Concubine Li! It's a pity for that face! How can such a despicable and filthy person have the right to bear a face similar to Concubine Li? It is simply insulting Concubine Li " The emperor's voice was full of disgust, as if mentioning a word of Princess Lixiang would be a great insult to him!
Du Hai bent down and responded, "Your Majesty, this servant knows what to do. You should go back to sleep first."

The emperor nodded, got up and slowly walked back to the royal study.Along the way, only Du Hai accompanied him with a lantern, followed by guards from afar, which made the emperor's lonely figure dim a bit!
Kunning Palace, 'Ding Dong! 'The crisp sound of porcelain shattering echoed in the hall.

"Your Majesty, calm down, King Ming sent Prince Liu away, and then came back." Mother Liu comforted.

"Hmph! It's all that Eldest Prince! If it wasn't for him to obstruct it intentionally, the palace's great affairs can be accomplished! Immediately send someone to investigate and find out who this Eldest Prince is from? Also, check whether he and the Xian Wang are acquainted , have you had any contact? Hurry up! I don't want to be ruined by him again!"

"Yes! This servant will send someone to investigate." Liu Mama walked to the entrance of the main hall and met King Ming head-on. "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, so be careful." Nanny Liu whispered.

King Ming nodded gratefully, and passed away with Nanny Liu, entering the main hall.

"Mother, it's so late, and I'm still in a hurry to find Erchen, but there is something important?"

"What do you think of today's matter?" The queen dismissed everyone, her face regained her composure, and she sat on the phoenix seat.

"Mother, maybe we are too impatient about today's matter. Please forgive me for saying bluntly, the virtuous king, there is nothing to be afraid of, even if he is the son of Concubine Li, so what? He has no foundation, no reliance, even It was the father who established him as the crown prince, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to ascend to the throne of God smoothly!"

King Ming raised his head to look at the calm queen, and saw that she was not angry, so he boldly continued: "Mother, we should take a long-term view on today's matter! After all, Concubine Li has been dead for many years, and now she is dead. When the light is off, everything is just suspicion. It cannot defend the position of the virtuous king! And if the emperor intends to stop it, I am afraid it will be counterproductive, saying that the queen mother is making a big fuss about the dead, saying that the sons and ministers can't tolerate the fifth emperor."

After listening to the queen, she smiled coldly, and shook her head slightly, and the red gold phoenix head on her head shook, and followed suit!It was so bright that people could hardly keep their eyes open, and the sound of the bumping of the steps was so clear and sweet, it was really pleasant to hear!

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but Yu'er in this palace has grown up! I know the plan!"

"I am today thanks to my mother's many years of teaching!" Ming Wang hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully.

The queen snorted softly, "You only know that the virtuous king has no mother and concubine, and no ancestral family to rely on! My palace asks you, what if the king of Miaojiang helps his nephew virtuous king? What about wooing the British government? What if the emperor is determined to make a virtuous king the crown prince? Have you thought about all this?"

King Ming was so frightened by the series of questions from the queen that he involuntarily took a few steps back! "Mother! No, the emperor will not let the courtiers know about Concubine Li's birth in Miaojiang! King Miaojiang has nothing to do about this!"

"So what? No matter where Concubine Li comes from or what her background is, it can't change the fact that King Xian is the nephew of King Miao Jiang! If King Xian really has Miao Jiang's help, I ask you, What advantage do you have to talk about? With the addition of a British government, what chance do you have of winning?"

King Ming also frowned at this moment, obviously, he had never thought of these problems before!But now that the Queen suddenly said it out, he was so shocked that he had no idea for a moment!
"Hmph! You didn't think of this, did you? Because you have always been complacent and arrogant! You always thought that only King Jin was your opponent! As long as you remove him, that position must be yours! You are really stupid! Ben Gong How could there be such an unworthy thing like you! All these years, the emperor has calculated every step of the way, even though you are on par with King Ming in the previous court, what is the reason? You really think the emperor is deaf and blind!"

The empress' accusations made Prince Ming's face pale with shock!He actually took another step back and fell down on a chair!

Seeing King Ming's useless expression, the queen felt even more contemptuous!If it wasn't because I only had this one son, how could I have lived so hard in this harem?But this King Ming is so unbelievable that he thinks he is extremely smart!What a fool!
"Do you think that you can sit on the crown prince safely only with the protection of your uncle and those flattering guys behind you? I ask you, if the virtuous king is established as the crown prince, what will you do?" How about it?"

Only then did King Ming come to his senses, and said softly: "No! Queen Mother, if Emperor Father truly loves Concubine Li and is sincerely for the good of the Xian Wang, it will not be like this! Even if the Xian Wang has King Miao Jiang So what about the support? It’s thousands of miles away from the capital! Moreover, the ancestors once issued a strict decree that the people of the Miaojiang people are not allowed to leave Miaojiang without the emperor’s personal order! Most of the military power in the capital is in our hands. If the emperor If a virtuous king is really established, I am afraid that he will not live for a few days! Father always looks at things in the long run, and will definitely think of this!"

"You are right. The emperor will indeed think of this! But he thinks differently from you! The virtuous king and the Duke of England! Don't forget what Yang Haipeng does? Also, the emperor's confidants include General Gu Wen, There is Marquis Pingnan, and King Yue! These three people control more than half of Dayuan's army! Do you think they are all free? Do you think the emperor has kept them as lonely ministers for so many years, and for whom? of? You use your brain!"

The queen's voice was extremely sharp, and hearing it in King Ming's ears, it was like hearing a thunderbolt on a sunny day!Amazing soul, breathtaking!
King Ming reached out and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead with his sleeve, the clothes behind him were already drenched from the empress' words just now!The cold sweat all over his body was sticky and had a sour smell.If it was a normal day, King Ming could not bear it long ago and would have bathed and changed his clothes!But today, as if he didn't notice it, he just sat quietly like this.
