Qi Yao's voice suddenly became dry, with a hint of anticipation and trepidation that he himself was not aware of, "Grandmother, what do you mean by... changing the name to be legitimate?"
A light laugh came from behind the screen.
I only heard the Queen Mother speak slowly again.
He said in a natural tone, "Of course you have the right to sit in that position. Anyone who wants to replace you is usurping the throne and committing treason!"
really!
Qi Yao couldn't help but hold his breath for a moment.
Then my heart felt hot and my eyes were filled with eagerness.
What the Empress Dowager said was exactly what he wished for, wasn't it?
However, he could only think about it before, after all, the person who truly owned the chair now was his father, Emperor Xiaoming.
What the Empress Dowager meant by what she just said...
Could it be...
"Please let me know, Grandmother!"
Qi Yao stood up from his chair, bowed, and bent his waist deeply.
Behind the screen, the empress dowager smiled playfully and winked at Nanny Lian beside her.
Most of the people in the room left.
Nanny Lian came out from behind the screen and handed something to Qi Yao.
It was a token in the shape of a crescent moon.
"Wei Lin."
The Queen Mother's hoarse voice sounded again.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Qi Yao.
The man was wrapped in a nightgown, his body straight, and he looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.
But the question is, where did this person hide before? How come he didn't see where he suddenly ran out from?
"Your Highness." Nanny Lian bowed respectfully. "What you have in your hand is the order to transfer the secret guards around the Queen Mother. Commander Wei is the commander of the secret guards around the Queen Mother. With this order, you can make Commander Wei obey your orders."
"In addition, the Queen Mother also told me to follow the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince during this period of time."
Nanny Lian called him "Your Highness the Crown Prince" over and over again, which made Qi Yao feel very comfortable.
The secret guard transfer order in his hand made him feel even more elated.
After leaving the Cining Palace, he went straight to the Qionghua Palace.
"Mother!"
"Yao'er, why are you here at this time?" Concubine Ling hurriedly ordered the senior palace maid beside her to take away several women in the yard who were wearing revealing clothes and were playing "Zang Meng" with Emperor Xiaoming.
Finally, he pulled Qi Yao into the side hall, dismissed the servants around him, and asked with concern: "But what happened?"
Ever since Emperor Xiaoming lived in the Qionghua Palace, Qi Yao would not easily set foot in the Palace unless it was an urgent matter.
Usually, Concubine Ling would take the initiative to go to the Eastern Palace to see him.
Concubine Ling carefully looked at Qi Yao's expression and was surprised to see that he did not look panicked, but instead showed eagerness and joy.
Qi Xu had gained the submission of the people in the west and was about to fight his way back to the capital.
It has come to this point, there can’t be any good news, right?
"Mother, this is a good thing."
Qi Yao spread out his palm and motioned Concubine Ling to look at the crescent token in his palm, "This is the order to transfer the secret guards around the Queen Mother."
"What?" Concubine Ling was extremely surprised.
I have heard for a long time that the late emperor left a secret guard for the empress dowager before he passed away, but I have never seen them in the palace.
She thought it was just a rumor, but she didn't expect that the secret guard actually existed!
And now, the Queen Mother gave the secret guard to Yaoer.
Concubine Ling's heart was beating like a pounding drum. Although she didn't understand why the Queen Mother did this, she certainly knew what it meant.
She wants to help Yaoer ascend to the throne and let Yaoer become the monarch of Dayong rightfully!
"Yao'er, this matter... should be dealt with sooner rather than later."
Concubine Ling immediately figured out the key.
The second prince also nodded.
Now Qi Xu is entrenched in the western border, eyeing the enemy covetously, and it is unknown when he will lead his troops to the capital. Only by quickly securing this position can he rely on the name of orthodoxy to call on the commanders of various states to dispatch troops to the capital to encircle and suppress Qi Xu.
Even if the states do not respond, there are still many old ministers in the court who abide by the rules. As long as he has the reputation of being orthodox, they will stand on his side.
Even if we take a step back, even if he really is no match for Qi Xu.
He could also use the throne as a condition to ask Qi Xu to grant him a state fiefdom and live a life of wealth and honor for the rest of his life. Of course, that was the worst option, and he didn't believe he would fall to that point.
"Mother is right, this matter needs to be done as soon as possible. In your opinion, when should we start?" Qi Yao's eyes were shining with excitement.
He actually didn't think that this matter required too much planning. After all, his father... was addicted to alcohol and sex all day long, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.
As long as my mother arranges the personnel in the Qionghua Palace, his people can easily kill my father.
"Yao'er, it's not that simple."
Concubine Ling slowly exhaled, "Although your father doesn't have a whole army of secret guards like the empress dowager, the two eunuchs around him are also skilled in martial arts. Many years ago, I saw one of them climb walls and kill assassins with his own hands. It may not be easy to defeat them. In addition, they will check everything your father eats, so it is not easy to poison him."
Emperor Xiaoming lived in the Qionghua Palace, and Concubine Ling had wanted to kill him.
Especially after her son took over as regent on behalf of his father.
As long as Emperor Xiaoming died without anyone noticing, her son would be able to sit on the throne.
Concubine Ling wanted Emperor Xiaoming to die more than anyone else.
"In that case, I will have the secret guards lead the two eunuchs away. As long as they are dealt with, there is no need to worry about other problems. Father is addicted to alcohol and sex, and his body has long been hollowed out. It is normal for him to have some accidents, isn't it?"
After thinking for a moment, Qi Yao had an idea in his mind.
…
midnight.
