If my guess is correct, someone in the court will propose that he succeed to the throne tomorrow.

Prince Gong smiled bitterly and said, "How can I be considered as a successor if I am like this?"

Yeah, what kind of successor is he?

His grudges could not be told, and people would only guess what he had done to make the emperor's family suffer so much.

When it comes to the storyteller's mouth, you still don't know how it will be arranged.

People who come after him should not criticize him.

Of course, this is the most important thing.

The important thing is that even though he wanted to be an emperor, he could not accept such an identity.

There was no way for him to accept a mother like the Queen Mother, to stay in the palace with her day and night, or to be controlled by the Xiao family and deal with them all his life.

So, that night Prince Gong wrote a letter and left with his wife and children.

Looking at the capital city gradually receding, Princess Gong did not let down the curtain for a long time.

Prince Gong knew what she was worried about and sighed, "Your brother and sister-in-law may not let us take your mother away. She is old and can't bear the hardship of traveling."

"I know, but it happened so suddenly that I didn't even get to say goodbye to her properly."

Chu Xuanling sneered, "She also understands goodbye."

Princess Gong: “…”

"None of your business, get out."

Chu Xuanling rolled his eyes at them and went out to sit with the driver.

…

In the court, Old Master Xiao believed that the country could not be without a monarch for a day, so he petitioned the Queen Mother to adopt Prince Gong as her legitimate son and make him the emperor.

The Queen Mother pretended to refuse and then agreed.

However, the eunuch who went to Prince Gong's Mansion to invite people with the Empress Dowager's decree was dumbfounded.

The Prince Gong's Mansion was empty, leaving only a letter.

The Queen Mother held the letter, her whole body trembling.

It is clearly written above that he is willing to be the emperor and has always wanted to be so.

The ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. He couldn't get along with her, and he didn't want to get involved with the Xiao family. He had already used up all his strength to get revenge.

There is no way he could succeed to the throne in this way.

He said he couldn't accept such a life, so he left.

Gone? Ah~ What should I do if you leave?

The adopted son was so angry that she abandoned all his sons.

The biological son ran away with his grandson.

What should she do if such a rotten stall is thrown to her?

What to do?

You can always... find some related sons of the royal family to take over the throne.

She worked hard to plan, but it fell into the hands of others. How could she be happy?

She 놊녠뀞……

A group of people were waiting for the Queen Mother's words.

Looking at the Queen Mother's expression, the fellow dared not say a word.

What happened?

Where is Prince Gong?

"Empress Dowager." Old Lady Xiao reminded him, "It's time to invite Prince Gong up."

The Queen Mother looked as pale as death and handed the letter in her hand to Old Lady Xiao.

After seeing this, Old Lady Xiao also hated that she could faint to death.

What the hell?

Run away?

The emperor who was in his hands sat on the throne, but ran away?

What to do?

All the descendants of the Xiao family have run away, so who will be the emperor?

Old Lady Xiao looked at the royal relatives around her.

A bunch of people looked up and waited.

No matter what, it's the Xiao family's turn.

But...if the successor is not of Xiao family blood, how will the glory of the Xiao family continue?

Once others gain power, they will certainly allow the Xiao family to continue to gain power.

This is what he wanted to see.

Old Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath, her face turning livid.

No one expected things to turn out this way.

After a long silence, someone in the court asked, "Where is Prince Gong?"

"Empress Dowager, where is Prince Gong?"

"Xiao 꺶, what did the letter say?"

What is written in the letter can naturally be known to outsiders.

The fact that Prince Gong is the Queen Mother's biological son cannot be known to anyone, otherwise they will know that the death of the Emperor and the princes was a carefully planned calculation.

Old Mrs. Xiao crumpled up the letter and stuffed it into her pocket.

He winked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother felt exhausted, but she still nodded and announced to everyone: "The matter of establishing a king will be discussed later..."

놊When she finished speaking, a voice was heard outside the hall.

"Wait."

Um?

The Queen Mother sat up straight abruptly and looked towards the palace gate.

Chu Xuanche, who was supposed to leave with them, walked in quickly and slowly in front of everyone's gaze.

He rarely appears in public, but no one here knows him.

The Queen Mother felt her heart rise to her throat, and suddenly she came back to life.

"Xiao Che..." She stood up excitedly.

Chu Xuanche walked into the palace, saw the imperial edict on the table, and walked straight over.

"My father is old, but in good health, so he can sit on the throne."

He glanced at the seat above and continued, "Let me sit here."

The whole audience was silent.

After a long time, the voice of Old Master Xiao shouting "Long live the emperor" was heard.

Once one person knelt down, a chain reaction soon started, and everyone knelt down and shouted "Long live the king".

The Queen Mother was moved to tears as she looked at her real grandson.

Everyone was also stunned. It was the first time they had seen such a change of the throne.

However, since the family favored Prince Gong, and Prince Gong became the emperor, it seemed that his eldest son would also be able to stand up.

"Okay, Xiao Che... Your Majesty. No one is more suitable for this position than you. When your grandfather was the emperor, he said that you were the smartest and he was most optimistic about you."

Chu Xuanche had a cold face and did not greet her. He sat directly in that seat and accepted the worship of the family.

…

Time goes back to the time he woke up.

It was the first time in all these years that he saw Chu Xuanling from a special angle.

놊, or rather, the lesion in his brain.

He was like a bystander, seeing what he saw.

He saw the hesitation in his parents' eyes and heard them say that his wife had left.

At night, he secretly climbed onto the roof of his parents' house and eavesdropped on their conversation, only then did he understand why they wanted to leave.

So this is the truth.

This is the truth behind the sudden withdrawal of those who tried to kill him.

His father wanted to escape, so he was willing; his father wanted to be emperor, so he went to be emperor.

Because of Chu Li’s incident, he was reminded.

If one thinks that destiny is in his own hands, then he must have supreme power.

Otherwise, no matter who comes to power, they will inevitably be wary of this family.

He was willing to live cautiously for the rest of his life, and he was willing for his descendants to wander around.

The most important thing is that only by obtaining the supreme power can he have the ability to bring his wife back.

The old witch said to let her go?

놊, she's not that good뀞.

So when he woke up in the carriage, he told them his thoughts directly and decided to return to the capital.

…

One month later.

Chu Xuanche has completely secured the throne, and the previous emperor has long passed away.

The late emperor's first wife refused to be honored as the empress dowager and only asked to guard the imperial mausoleum. The new emperor agreed without hesitation.
