Ye Peizhu carried her to the crib and let her fall asleep. After she had done everything, she came and sat down next to King Kang.
"Your Majesty, what do you think Jiuer is talking about forgetting?
"This time, the Ning Wang incident went quite smoothly. I feel a little uneasy. I don't think there will be any more accidents, right?"
Ye Peizhu whispered her concerns.
Prince Kang thought for a moment and said, "Jiu'er should be the only one who knows what she forgot. Maybe she will remember it when she wakes up tomorrow.
Madam, there are various reasons why this matter went smoothly. Don't worry, there will be no accidents.
And even if an accident really happens, we can know it in advance through Jiuer's voice and avoid it in advance.
With Jiuer here, we can avoid any danger we encounter. She is our mascot!"
"Jiu'er has become a mascot." Ye Peizhu laughed, "But it is precisely because of the existence of Jiu'er as a mascot that we can avoid these calculations again and again.
But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about a question?"
Ye Peizhu suppressed her smile and looked at King Kang seriously.
"Why would the former Prince Gong and the current Prince Ning take the initiative to plot against us?"
King Kang nodded and answered without hesitation, "Because they feel that I am the biggest stumbling block to their obtaining the throne. Only by getting rid of me will it be easier for them to obtain the throne."
"Yes, now it seems that this is indeed their purpose.
But Your Majesty, you have six brothers, and except for Prince An, who has a closer relationship with us, he has no idea about the throne.
Among the remaining five brothers, Prince Gong died and Prince Ning was not far from death.
Apart from these two, you have three brothers, Prince Duan, Prince Jing and Prince Li.
Although the three of them were given fiefdoms by the emperor from the beginning and were far away from the capital, no one knew whether they had ambitions for the throne.
Once they have ambitions, they will inevitably confront us!
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Your Highness, you are the emperor's most favored son and the most likely candidate to become the next emperor.
If I want to have a greater chance of taking the throne, I must get rid of you!
But we have already experienced Prince Gong and Prince Ning. Do we have to continue to passively confront the three princes one by one in the future?
Before, I thought that if someone didn’t offend me, I wouldn’t offend them. If they plotted against us, we would just plot against them back. But now, I don’t think so anymore.”
Ye Peizhu finished speaking slowly and looked at King Kang seriously, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, how about we take the initiative?"
Prince Kang pursed his lips and asked, "What does my lady mean?"
"The conflict between us and the other princes could only be over the throne. If those three princes had no interest in the throne, they wouldn't have come into conflict with us, and we wouldn't have confronted them either.
I want to send someone to investigate them first, and at the same time find out what the three princes think from Jiuer.
If they really have ambitions, then we should strike first, so that we can avoid being calculated by the other party again.
What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Ye Peizhu waited patiently for Prince Kang to think.
These days, she noticed that the prince was gradually changing.
Whether it is in dealing with things or in mentality.
After thinking for a moment, King Kang looked somewhat ambiguous.
"Madam, what if Prince Duan, Prince Jing, and Prince Li all have ambitions? Should we then try to kill or cripple them?
This way they won’t be able to plot against us?
So what then? Who will be the next emperor?"
Prince Kang stared straight into Ye Peizhu's eyes, and for a moment Ye Peizhu felt that Prince Kang had seen through her thoughts.
She opened her mouth and simply said it, "Of course it's you, Prince, do you still remember what Jiuer mentioned in her heart?
In the previous life, we in the Prince Kang’s Mansion were ordered to be executed!
We didn't do anything, but ended up like this!
We said that we would rewrite the fate of our previous life and protect our family in this life!
If we want change, we have to gain power!
Your Highness, you are known to everyone as the Emperor’s favorite son. This alone will make you a target for ambitious people.
Like Prince Gong and Prince Ning, they attacked you first.
If Prince Duan, Prince Jing, and Prince Li were equally ambitious, they would certainly attack you and our entire family just like Prince Gong and Prince Ning did.
In this case, why don’t we take the initiative?
Why don't we have ambitions for the throne as everyone thinks?"
Ye Peizhu lowered her voice, stared closely into King Kang's eyes, and spoke almost word for word to him.
King Kang's heart trembled violently.
He knew what the lady meant, and he also knew that this was the only way left for them to return to Prince Kang's Mansion.
but.
Is the throne really what he wants?
No, or now we can’t say whether he wants to or not, but whether he chooses or dares to.
The throne and the lives of the entire Kangwang family are now linked together.
If he didn't want the throne, it would be equivalent to giving up the lives of his entire family.
Then they will also end up with the same fate as in their previous life, with their entire family being executed...
King Kang stammered, expressing another possibility that might exist or might not exist.
"Madam, what if... Prince Duan, Prince Jing, and Prince Li both have no interest in the throne?"
"That's great! If that's the case, then the final decision lies with the Emperor.
No matter who the emperor chooses to inherit the throne in the end, it has nothing to do with us.
As long as the new emperor doesn't kill us all, we can continue to live our lives."
Having said that, Ye Peizhu paused and looked at King Kang meaningfully.
"But Your Majesty, do you think this is possible? Can Prince Duan, Prince Jing, and Prince Li really all be indifferent to the throne?"
King Kang covered his face with one hand and sighed helplessly.
"It's really unlikely. It's good enough if one of the three of them doesn't have any ambitions.
Madam, you are right. Things have developed to this point and we can no longer do nothing.
Then let's send someone to investigate the situation of the three of them first, and then make plans."
Ye Peizhu nodded, "Okay."
King Kang called the secret guards and gave them orders.
The couple planned to deliberately mention the three princes in front of their daughter tomorrow to see if their daughter would say anything about them.
The next day, Prince Kang went to the palace as usual.
There are still two days before Prince Ning is beheaded.
Ye Peizhu stayed in the mansion. After her little girl woke up and had enough food and drink, she deliberately mentioned to Qiuyun what she wanted to know in front of Song Jiujiu.
"Qiu Yun, do you still remember Prince Duan, Prince Jing, and Prince Li?"
Qiu Yun didn't know why her master suddenly mentioned this, but she still thought about it seriously.
"I have some impression. What's wrong, Princess?"
