Your Highness

Chapter 317: Taking Hostages (1)
As the old man spouted what seemed to be for him as an emperor, Zhao Zhengde's eyes faintly flashed a cold light. He is the emperor of the Lingtian Empire, and the old man in front of him is just his subject. Wrong, is the man in front of him doubting his decision?

"Sun Aiqing is saying that I don't see people as clearly as Aiqing?" Thinking of this, Zhao Zhengde looked at the gray-haired old man with waves in his eyes.

The pressure from the gaze cast from above suddenly increased, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the old man's back. He naturally understood that if someone accidentally said something wrong at this moment, then the influence of the prince in the court and the influence of the prince in the court would be severe. The position in the emperor's heart, then his end will definitely be decapitated.

"The old minister dare not!" The old man's body suddenly prostrated on the ground. He is Zhao Xuanjie's mother clan, and the prince he wants to support is naturally Zhao Xuanjie. At this moment, the meaning of Zhao Zhengde's words is obviously biased toward making Xuanyu the future emperor of the Lingtian Empire. up.

After all, if Xuanyu is not intended to be the emperor, then how can Xuanyu supervise the country? After all, such power will only be handed over when the current emperor has determined who the next successor is. Who.

Now that Zhao Zhengde handed over the power of supervising the country to Xuanyu, he was obviously telling everyone that after his death, the future emperor of the Lingtian Empire would be the present Crown Prince Zhao Xuanyu!But judging from the ability shown by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, once Xuan Yu is allowed to supervise the country, there is no hope for the Seventh Prince and all the other princes to expect that position.

"Hmph! That's the best!" Zhao Zhengde snorted coldly. Although the words were in response to the old man, his eyes were directed at Zhao Xuanjie.

Zhao Xuanjie lowered his head slightly when he heard the words, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Although he didn't know what Zhao Xuanjie was thinking at the moment, but at the moment Zhao Xuanjie looked extremely respectful, Zhao Zhengde took a deep look at his son and finally turned around and walked towards Empress Chu's palace.

Under the courtesies of the ministers, Zhao Zhengde gradually walked away until he was out of sight, and then everyone stood up, looking at the back of Zhao Zhengde who had just left, it was so resolute, many people had been standing behind Zhao Xuanjie because of the Cao family. Zhao Xuanjie's family began to hesitate because of what Zhao Zhengde said this time.

After all, if Zhao Zhengde really liked Zhao Xuanyu very much, then if they stood so stubbornly on Zhao Xuanjie's side in the end, they would be in danger of exterminating their clan if something happened.

The gloomy light in Zhao Xuanjie's eyes gathered, that look very much like the gloomy and oppressive black sky on the eve of the rainstorm.

A complex light flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Xuanjie said silently in his heart: Father, this is what you forced my son to do. He is also the father's son, except that Lao Jiu is much better at kung fu than his son. She is inferior, since the father has made up his mind to let the ninth brother become the future emperor of the Lingtian Empire, then even if the Lingtian Empire is destroyed, the son will definitely not allow her to become the future emperor of the Lingtian Empire emperor.

He is about to lose to anyone, but he must not lose to her!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanjie stepped forward and pulled up the old man who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Grandfather and Father have already left, so get up quickly, you should always be careful when you are old and cold!"

While stretching out his hand to help the old man on the ground, Zhao Xuanjie looked at the old man's sullen eyes and nodded in secret. Seeing this, the old man suddenly showed a smile on his calm old face.

In the East Palace, Concubine Chu was watering a crabapple planted by Xuan Yu before leaving the palace, but she saw the female official who had been serving outside the door rushing in excitedly.

Although all the women who could be selected by Concubine Chu to the palace could not be said to be like Yujin, the great court lady next to Concubine Chu, they could all be said to have calm personalities.

Although Concubine Chu didn't say anything when she saw this, the light in her eyes was obviously colder. Seeing Concubine Chu's brows furrowed, Yujin, the palace maid next to Concubine Chu, immediately scolded.

"Don't stop, if you disturb the empress's phoenix body, you will be dragged out and beaten to death as a servant!"

The palace maid immediately lost her joy when she heard the words, and knelt down in front of Concubine Chu with a plop, "Return to Madam, I heard that the emperor has spoken well and intended to let His Royal Highness return to Beijing. You must know that once His Majesty This means that His Highness the Crown Prince intends to let him!"

Following the words of the court lady, the faces of the court ladies and eunuchs in the entire palace suddenly beamed with joy. You must know that if the prince becomes the emperor in the future, then the queen will become the queen mother. If she becomes a servant of the queen mother, the prosperity and wealth in the future will be great. Enjoy it endlessly.

But the moment she heard the news, Empress Chu's face turned pale, Emperor Ling Tian, ​​Yu'er, stop messing around!

Although she decided in her heart that as long as Xuan Yu had to do something, she would do her best to help her, but in Concubine Chu's heart, Xuan Yu was a woman after all, and there had never been a queen in this world.

No matter what, in the heart of Concubine Chu who grew up in this world, women should marry someone and let her husband teach her children. As for the emperor, she still hopes that her daughter can give up such a plan.

Everyone in the palace looked at Empress Chu who had an unattractive face after knowing that Xuanyu might become Emperor Lingtian, and they were suddenly surprised. There is no concubine in the palace who does not want her child to become the future emperor, but why Chu? The queen was not so happy after hearing the news?

"Your Majesty, don't you want His Highness the Crown Prince to become the future emperor?" Seeing Concubine Chu's furrowed face, Yujin, the court lady who hadn't been with Empress Chu all the time, stepped forward and asked doubtfully. asked out.

All the ladies in the court looked at Queen Chu in unison. You must know that in this harem, as a woman, she must either grasp the heart of a king forever, or grasp the supreme power.

However, the heart of a man who is a king is not so easy to grasp at all, and even in the end, those women who want to grasp the heart of a king finally pay not only their own hearts, but also their own lives.

So in this regard, it is better to seize the power in front of you than to seize these. After all, because of amnesia, I believe that the Empress Chu's love for the emperor is already very light, so naturally there is no one who wants to seize it. In the heart of the king's heart, since he has no intention of being a king, then naturally he should put all his thoughts on how to assist his son to ascend to the throne.

After all, this is usually the case for women in the harem.

"Because I don't want my child to stand in that position, and she will be left alone in the end!" Empress Chu sighed, although she would do her best to make her daughter succeed as long as it was something her daughter wanted to do, but her body As a mother, she was still worried about what would happen if Xuan Yu's identity was exposed one day.
