Chapter 295 Two-by-Two Calculation
Tonight is also a sleepless night for Feng Huailue.
Now people outside think that Feng Huailue wanted to take revenge on Nanyue and Dayu, so he deliberately killed Feng Feixu. He was not convicted for this, but he has to endure other people's strange looks every day he lives.
The great protector, Qianben, was still cleaning up the mess left by the bombing of the Black Mountain Underground Palace. Upon hearing about this, he rushed to Beijing overnight to meet Feng Huailue.
Facing the great protector, Feng Huailue was a little afraid to look into her eyes.
"I didn't intend to kill Feng Feixu."
"I should know." When he learned about this, the Great Protector knew that Feng Huailue was being tricked. "But this is not important anymore. What's important is, what should I do next?"
After this incident, Feng Huailue has lost his chance of becoming emperor. What should he do in the future?
"Fifth brother is young, not very smart, and can't even please father. If we support such a person to become emperor in the future, he can only be a puppet emperor. Isn't Xixia still in our hands?"
The fifth prince Feng Shuyu was the son of Concubine Jia, who was never favored by the emperor. Her son would naturally not be favored by the King of Western Xia, Feng Xuanzhen, so the mother and son had an unhappy life in the harem.
Feng Huailue's idea coincided with the Great Protector's. The Black Mountain Underground Palace had trained so many of Feng Huailue, and it would be a pity to abandon them one day. Besides, she couldn't find anyone more suitable than Feng Huailue.
Now in the court, the third prince Feng Zhaolin obviously stood on the side of the King of Xixia, and the fourth prince Feng Haojie always followed Feng Zhaolin's lead. As for the second prince Feng Jikai, he fell off his horse a long time ago, and although he recovered from his injury, he was left with a limp, and was kicked out of the fight for the throne early on.
Right now, the only person who can be controlled is Feng Shuyu, who is not taken seriously.
"I heard that Feng Shuyu is extremely dependent on Jiapin. As long as Jiapin is around, it will be difficult for us to control him."
Feng Huailue had already considered this: "If Concubine Jia dies, Feng Shuyu will be raised under the name of our mother. Wouldn't it be easy to control him then?"
"The Queen has always loved Feng Feixu. No matter what the reason was, you killed her most beloved daughter after all. Can she still help you without regrets?"
"I am also her son. Besides, in her heart, the most important person has never been Feng Feixu, but father." Feng Huailue looked like he had a plan in mind. "What she hates most is Concubine Nian's face. Feng Zhaolin is Concubine Nian's son. How could the queen mother watch him ascend to the throne?"
The Great Protector chose Feng Huailue because he was resourceful and ruthless. Now that he was in a desperate situation, he still did not give up and even plotted against his mother. He was really capable.
After discussing the next plan with Feng Huailue, the Great Protector left at night. The Second Protector stood guard at the door and listened carefully to what the two said. He asked, "Great Protector, if Feng Shuyu were to speak now, would it have any impact on our plan?"
"Of course not." The Great Protector laughed, "Compared with Feng Huailue, Feng Shuyu is obviously easier to control. If the person sitting on the dragon throne is Feng Huailue, I'm afraid we will have to be wary of him for a few days in the future, but if Feng Shuyu is the emperor, he will be checked by us."
After all, at that time, no matter who holds the power, Feng Huailue can only be a subject in name, and the status of the Black Mountain Underground Palace will no longer be something he can shake.
"When we chose Feng Xuanyi, we misjudged his nature. He has attacked us frequently in recent years without any regard for friendship. Don't blame us for being cruel."
The Great Protector felt somewhat regretful that he had chosen Feng Xuanqi. Who would have thought that he had been so humble in front of her, but after ascending the throne, he would change his previous humble attitude and want to break free from the control of the Black Mountain Underground Palace.
"Isn't he the same with the Yi family? He used them and then abandoned them!" The second guardian said angrily, "We can't put all our hopes on those princes and can't cooperate with them. The only way to be practical is to keep them in our hands."
