Chapter 140 How dare you think so?
Her charm has been destroyed by the King of War, and now she can only use poison to control Xiao Haoyan. She originally wanted to replace the core of this idiot, but news came from the other side that the emperor actually wanted to depose the prince.
There was no time left, so she could only let Xiao Haoyan get better first and then get pregnant with his child as soon as possible, and then when he succeeded to the throne in the future... she would kill the father and keep the son.
"Fu'er, thanks to your careful care every day, when I get better, I will definitely ask my father to give you the position of principal wife."
Bu Yanfu looked at the person leaning on the bed and leaned over gently: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Crown Prince is going to be deposed. Don't you want to make some plans?"
Xiao Haoyan's eyes widened. "The Crown Prince is going to be deposed? Where did you hear that? Father has high hopes for the Crown Prince. Even if the Crown Prince makes a big mistake, Father will not easily depose him."
Bu Yanfu chuckled: "What if the prince is not the emperor's biological son, but the bastard child of the queen's affair with another man?"
Xiao Haoyan pushed Bu Yanfu away, held her shoulders and looked into her eyes seriously, trying to see if there was any joking in her words.
"Your Highness, there's no need to look at me like that. It's all spread out there. I heard the Crown Prince secretly kidnapped Su Yiling, the daughter of the Su family, a few days ago, hoping to force a deal. However, a fire broke out and they failed."
"The Su family suppressed this matter for the sake of Su Yiling's reputation, but Old Master Su had his followers constantly report the Crown Prince, revealing all the things he had done over the years, including embezzling disaster relief funds and forming cliques."
"I also heard that a note suddenly appeared on the table in the imperial study yesterday, stating that the Crown Prince had secretly stationed troops."
Xiao Haoyan paused: "Fuer, how do you know all this?"
Bu Yanfu's eyes flashed: "This matter has spread to almost all the ministers in Kyoto. You can find out with just a little inquiry."
Xiao Haoyan looked at her doubtfully: "Did you find out about the note on the table in the imperial study? I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Bu Yanfu felt a little guilty. Wasn't Xiao Haoyan like a fool? How did he suddenly become so smart?
Bu Yanfu didn't know that although Xiao Haoyan's reaction was a beat slower than others, he grew up in the palace after all, so how could he be completely clueless.
Xiao Haoyan's mother was Concubine Shun. How could she not know what her own son looked like? So she told Xiao Haoyan since he was a child that his mother's family could not compete with the Queen's mother's family. Only by not opposing the Prince and not competing for that position could he be a leisurely prince and live the rest of his life in peace.
Xiao Haoyan has been doing this for many years, but he is a prince after all. No matter how stupid he is, it is impossible for him to have no idea about that position.
Bu Yanfu looked at Xiao Haoyan and said softly, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can go to the palace and ask Mother. Mother should know about this."
"If the prince has his eyes on that position, mother's support is necessary. After all, mother is in the palace all year round, so it's much easier for her to do anything than us."
"If the prince takes that position in the future, then mother will be the queen mother. I think the prince should go and ask."
Bu Yanfu felt that there was no mother who didn't want her son to sit on the throne, and Concubine Shun was no exception.
But she was wrong, Concubine Shun... was indeed an exception.
Three days later, Xingqing Palace.
"What did you say?" Shun Fei's voice almost broke the roof. She thought of something and quickly cleared all the palace people out, leaving only the personal nanny.
"Xiao Haoyan, did I lose my brain when I gave birth to you? How dare you think so?"
"Besides, weren't you sick and recuperating in the mansion the whole time? How did you know all this? I don't even know about the things in the Imperial Study, but you know about it! Tell me, who told you!"
Xiao Haoyan stood there, unable to raise his head after being scolded: "It was... Fu'er who told me."
"Mother, I think what Fu'er said makes some sense. If father really decides to depose the crown prince, why can't I fight for that position?"
"If I succeed, you will be the Empress Dowager in the future. Isn't that better than a concubine? Look at the concubines in the palace now. Which one is living well? Some of them don't even take the palace maids seriously."
Concubine Shun was so angry that she raised her hand and smashed a cup, finally making Xiao Haoyan shut up.
"Idiot! Why did I give birth to such an idiot like you!"
Concubine Shun took a deep breath and looked at her foolish son seriously, saying, "Even if your father intends to depose the crown prince, can he do so just like that?"
"The Crown Prince is the Empress' legitimate son, and the Empress is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister. If you want to depose the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister will not agree unless the Emperor can produce evidence to prove that the Crown Prince is not a dragon seed."
"The Emperor is such a proud man that he didn't even say anything when he nearly caught the Empress in bed. How could he announce to the world that the Crown Prince he had carefully nurtured for so many years was not his biological son?"
"Well, even if the Crown Prince is finally successfully deposed, there are still the Third Prince, the Sixth Prince, Prince Zhan, and Prince Su. How can it be your turn?"
"It's not that mother looks down on you, but with your brain, you should just take the title of eldest son and be a leisurely prince. Don't spend all day thinking about things that are out of your reach and lose your life in vain."
"As for Mother, no matter who takes that position in the future, if you are filial, you can take Mother out and we can live a simple life together in your fiefdom. If you don't want to, Mother can stay in this palace. After all, it's not a big deal after all."
"Go back now. I will pretend that I didn't hear anything you said today. Don't worry about what's happening outside. Just stay in your house and recuperate. It's best not to get better until the situation becomes clear. Do you understand?"
Looking at her son being scolded away, Concubine Shun slammed the table in anger.
"I had always thought that vixen Bu Yanfu was not a good person. I tried to stop her no matter how hard I tried, but in the end, I let that idiot bring her into the mansion."
"Mrs. Wen was such a good daughter-in-law. She was more than a good match for Yan in every way. Yet, they ended up getting divorced. I begged the Emperor for so long to get her this marriage."
"I originally thought it would be fine if she just lived peacefully in the mansion, but she actually dared to instigate Yan'er to fight for that position. Is that for his own good? She's basically sending him to his death."
"That bitch, I will never let her go just like that! If I let her continue to stay with Yan'er, sooner or later both I and Yan'er will be killed by her."
"Madam, I regret this. When Yan'er wanted to divorce Wen because of that bitch, I should have punished her!"
While helping Concubine Shun to calm down, the nanny said, "Your Majesty, the prince has always been soft-hearted and can't stand being pushed around. When Wen was the princess, she managed the prince very well, but now..."
"My Lady, we still have to deal with Bu Yanfu as soon as possible."
