After a long time, Miao Qianqiu seemed to have found his own voice, and he spoke carefully, "Your Majesty, if the crown prince is appointed at this moment, Prince Xiu... will become the target of public criticism."
The emperor glanced at him, not caring about his presumptuous words, and said slowly, "So you let people spread the news that the candidate for the crown prince is the sixth prince."
Miao Qianqiu was shocked, "Sixth Prince?"
"Lao Liu's behavior has been a bit unusual recently. I want to see what he is thinking in his heart." The emperor tapped his fingers on the table and said softly, "My body is getting worse and worse. Before that, I must It’s enough to eliminate some hidden dangers for the future emperor.”
Miao Qianqiu suddenly realized that the emperor was worried. The sixth prince was just like Concubine Wan before. On the surface, he didn't care about anything, but in fact, he was very ambitious and had long been deliberately planning to get this position.
So, is the Emperor’s favorite candidate still Prince Xiu
Then... where is the Seventh Prince
Miao Qianqiu felt that the emperor had a very shocking plan in mind. He did not dare to make any more guesses or ask any more questions, so he only agreed.
"I want this matter to be spread as loudly as possible. You can have people go to every palace to spread the word. The imperial edict has not been drafted yet, but I have the Sixth Prince in my heart."
"Yes, I will take care of it now." Miao Qianqiu bowed and quickly left the imperial study.
After all, he was the emperor's confidant eunuch, and his efficiency in doing things was amazing.
While Yu Qingluo was still in Concubine Shu's palace, someone hurriedly and quietly told Concubine Shu the news.
Concubine Shu's expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly dispatched the people waiting in the palace, grabbed Yu Qingluo's hand, her lips trembled a little, "The emperor wants to appoint the sixth prince as the crown prince."
"...the sixth prince was appointed?" Yu Qingluo was shocked and quickly put the tea cup in her hand on the table, "Is this news true?"
Concubine Shu looked a little flustered, "I said it came from the Imperial Study Room, but I don't know if that's true."
However, Yu Qingluo felt that this matter was a bit strange. Why did the good emperor suddenly fall in love with the sixth prince
Did the emperor already have a case in his mind, or was it a temporary decision
"My dear, don't worry, this matter may not be true or false. Besides, even if the sixth prince really becomes the prince, it will always be better than the third prince becoming the prince."
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, but after hearing these words, she calmed down.
After a while, he nodded and agreed, "You are right. Although the sixth prince's mother and concubine are arrogant, she will not be evil to others. Maybe it is not a bad thing for him to become the prince."
The corner of Yu Qingluo's mouth twitched, and she couldn't bear to pour cold water on her. This temperament is really not that easy to talk about. Didn’t Concubine Wan also have an attitude of being aloof from the world at the beginning? The results of it? After years of secret planning, the emperor was given a chronic poison.
"I always thought that even if the emperor appoints a prince, he will be the seventh prince instead of Prince Xiu. I didn't expect..." Concubine Shu sighed, as if she suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Yu Qingluo, "Isn't it... What did Prince Xiu say in front of the emperor?"
Yu Qingluo was stunned. Concubine Shu suspected that the emperor appointed the sixth prince because of Ye Xiudu's intention
She couldn't help but laugh, "How could the prince say such a thing at this time? The prince has just been deposed, and the emperor is still very sad. The prince hopes that the emperor will be well, so why would he mention his sadness?"
Concubine Shu sighed after hearing this, "That's true."
She nodded, her mind still a little confused and a little confused.
Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Yu Qingluo stood up and said goodbye, "There is nothing serious about your health. She has been recovering well these days. I will just continue to maintain it from now on. It is getting late, so I will go back first."
Concubine Shu said, "Okay, you can also talk to Prince Xiu about the affairs in the palace. I don't know whether the sixth prince's matter is true or false. If there is anything, we can discuss it later."
"Okay." After all, this is a matter related to the future prince. It is normal for Concubine Shu to worry about gains and losses.
Yu Qingluo left another bottle of medicine for her and then left the palace.
Xiu Wang's Mansion was very lively at the moment. Ye Lanping had come to Xiu Wang's Mansion countless times since he was a child, but it seemed like it was only twice.
Not to mention his friends, seeing the legendary Prince Xiu's Mansion for the first time, he felt a feeling of admiration. He felt as embarrassed as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
On the contrary, Ye Lansheng and Yu Baoer, who were already familiar with this place, felt like a fish in water after entering Prince Xiu's Mansion and were very excited.
Especially Ye Lansheng, who had been locked up in Jincheng Garden during this period, as if there was always a pair of eyes staring at him, which made him feel uncomfortable. Now when he arrived at Prince Xiu's Mansion, the young guard leader of Jinchengyuan was once again blocked by Ye Xiu. He was surrounded by people who were close friends with him. His mood was extremely excited for a moment, and there was a faint glimmer of water in his eyes. .
Nannan patted him on the shoulder, then went to his courtyard, took out all the things he bought along the way, and stuffed them into Ye Lansheng's hands.
"Xiao Shengsheng, I bought these for you, keep them carefully. Look, this is Zhaocheng's famous recorder, this is Miancheng's famous brush, and this, this, this... "
Nan Nan spread a bunch of gadgets in front of Ye Lansheng, and Ye Lansheng's eyes were bright.
However, Ye Lanping, who was watching from the side, became a little bit amused, "Nan Nan, don't I have one?"
Nannan felt a little guilty, but seeing that he had done such a big favor for her today, she nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, these are for you. I bought them specially for you. Mainly because I think Brother Ping is older, so he may not like these gadgets, but the more advanced things are not very good-looking, so I can’t choose them well, so I chose a few high-quality products for you, do you like them?"
When Ye Lanping heard this, he was extremely happy, "I like it, I like everything Nannan gives me."
Nannan felt even more guilty, smiled dryly and hurriedly stuffed the things into his arms.
Ye Xiu watched alone and shook his head repeatedly. Ye Lanping was considered a little bully, so why was he so... spineless in front of Nannan
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Ying ran in from outside and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace."
Ye Xiu frowned, news from the palace? Qing'er hasn't come back yet. Could it be that something happened to her
When he thought of this, he felt a little anxious, but before he had time to ask, he saw a familiar figure appearing not far away. Yu Qingluo had already hurried over here.
Ye Xiudu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shen Ying beside him, "What happened in the palace?"
