He Yanting glanced at his vein-riddled hand hanging by his side, his throat moving slightly. "I am extremely stubborn and violent, and I cannot be taught. My reputation is well known to all. Moreover, I have also ignored the overall situation due to my selfish desires. With all these factors, it is truly unsuitable for me to be the Crown Prince. I hope Your Majesty will carefully consider this."
Fuping lowered his head, and Chao Haisheng's eyes were filled with shock.
Several people waited for the emperor in silence. The emperor didn't speak again. He looked around carefully and left.
Only when his figure disappeared from their sight did they breathe a sigh of relief.
He Yanting slowly stood up from the ground, his body swaying slightly.
Chao Haisheng walked up to him, very puzzled: "You don't want to be the emperor? Why?"
Fuping's eyes trembled slightly.
He Yanting: "Your Majesty just mentioned the Crown Prince, not the Emperor."
He corrected.
"It's all the same," Chao Haisheng knew what the emperor was thinking. Whether it was the crown prince or the emperor, the candidate in his mind was He Yanting, but no one had expected that He Yanting would refuse.
Seeing that Chao Haisheng was about to get to the bottom of this, He Yanting chuckled and said, "Master, why are you in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be more convenient for you if I didn't become the crown prince? You won't have to worry about anything when you take my life one day."
The tide choked.
"Why should I be so anxious? I really hope you and him fall out!"
His voice became louder and louder, as if he was trying to hide something. When he met the eyes of Fu Ping and He Yanting, he felt embarrassed, snorted heavily, and disappeared in an instant.
Fu Ping hurriedly came to He Yanting's side and said, "What are you doing? Didn't we agree on this before? Now we are just one step away from success, why are you..."
Fu Ping had watched him grow up since he was a child, so He Yanting still had some respect for him.
"My ability is indeed insufficient, so there is no need for you to persuade me. I hope you can comfort His Majesty and not... let him get angry and cause harm."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Fu Ping sighed heavily: "You...ah..."
…
In the bedroom of the imperial study, the emperor raised his head when he heard the sound and asked, "Gone?"
"Yes, I'm leaving."
"What did you find out?"
Fu Ping shook his head. "He only said he was incompetent, and refused to say anything else."
Insufficient ability...
The emperor's breathing became a little rapid. Seeing this, Fu Ping quickly said, "Your Majesty, calm down. The general must have been unable to change his mind at the moment, and he was also considering Your Majesty."
"Consider me?" The emperor's voice sounded somewhat mocking.
"That's right," Fu Ping said stubbornly. "Originally, according to the emperor's plan, after conquering the Oirat Mongols, with such military achievements as his own, he would be recognized as a ancestral prince and then be named the crown prince. The court officials wouldn't dare to say anything." Fu Ping said, cautiously observing the emperor's expression. "But now something unexpected has happened. If we still follow the original plan, the court officials and the people of the world will not be able to stop the gossip."
"The general is also filial and considerate of you."
Although he knew in his heart that He Yanting might simply not want to be the crown prince, after hearing what Fu Ping said, the emperor felt a little relieved and his brows were not as furrowed as before.
Just as he relaxed, he suddenly realized a detail.
He Yanting said that he "can't" be the crown prince, not that he "doesn't want" to be the crown prince.
Although the word "can't" may also include "don't want to", the use of this word is really strange.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not think about it any further, thinking that he was overthinking.
…
"Su Jibai?"
Jiang Kang'an and Jiang Zhiyu sat at the table and talked about the many things that happened while she was unconscious. Jiang Kang'an specifically mentioned this person.
Seeing Jiang Zhiyu repeating doubtfully, Jiang Kangan sipped his tea and asked, "Why, you don't know him?"
"How..." Just as he sent out a word, Jiang Zhiyu seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly changed his words: "How could I not know him? He is my best friend!"
Jiang Kangan: “…”
"How come I've never heard you mention it's valuable?"
Jiang Zhiyu blinked: "Drinking and eating friends, not worth mentioning."
In just one sentence, they went from close friends to drinking buddies. Jiang Kangan looked at her calmly.
Jiang Zhiyu felt uneasy when he looked at her, so she changed the subject and said, "Where is he now? He probably doesn't know that I'm awake yet."
"You probably don't know. Then do you know his identity?"
Jiang Zhiyu played dumb and said, "Ah, what?"
[By asking this, does Big Brother already know that he is Su Bai? ]
She really knew!
Jiang Kangan closed his eyes fiercely. "He's Su Bai! The former eldest son of the Su family! The emperor personally ordered the extermination of all nine generations of his clan. He must have some ulterior motive to approach you!"
Jiang Zhiyu: “…Ah.”
[It's hard to say whether he has any intentions. Is it possible that I, your sister, am the one with the intentions?]
Furious Jiang Kangan: "?"
[Now that Zuiyuelong is gone, Qingfengguan is the only one left. You can imagine how profitable this thing is!]
【Now is the right time to invest! 】
Jiang Kangan: “?”
What does it mean to invest?
Want to make money? Isn't she making enough money now?
Besides, even if she has no money, how could they not have any?
It's more than enough to support her.
Before Jiang Kangan could finish his words, Jiang Zhiyu spoke up: "Oh, how can you say that? The relationship between us is purely based on interests. Besides, the emperor executed his entire clan, but he was the only one who survived. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" Jiang Kang'an subconsciously followed her words.
"That means this is destiny! The chosen one!" Jiang Zhiyu said as he nodded affirmatively.
Jiang Kangan: “…”
Seeing Jiang Kang'an's tired face, Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly.
"Alright," Jiang Zhiyu patted him, "The Su family was framed and suffered this devastating disaster. As the Imperial Censor, I must restore order and clear the Su family's name."
"Being framed?" Jiang Kangan didn't know this.
After all, they had no connection with the Su family, and Jiang Kangan had never investigated it in detail.
"Yes," Jiang Zhiyu said with some emotion, "Everything has been basically investigated. We just need some more evidence. Once the evidence is solid, we can report it to the emperor."
This is serious business, Jiang Kangan pursed his thin lips.
Jiang Zhiyu didn't want him to waste any more energy on this matter. After thinking for a while, a name that he had forgotten came to mind: "Where's Bo Jian? We've been talking for so long, why haven't we mentioned him? Could it be that I was unconscious for a few days and this guy never came to see me once?"
Jiang Kangan: “…”
"Bo Jian was sent to Jinzhou by the Emperor to help my uncle."
Jiang Zhiyu said, "So he didn't know I was unconscious? When did this guy leave? Why don't I have any recollection of it?"
Not only her, even Jiang Kangan himself had no impression of it.
