"Your Highness!" Jiang Fang raised his voice, and considering Zhu Yu's identity, he suppressed his disrespectful tone and said patiently, "The Queen has been walking on thin ice in the palace all these years. How can it be easy? I hope Your Highness will understand the Queen's difficulties and don't hurt her feelings."
Zhu Yu sneered, "I have to be considerate of her, but who else can be considerate of me? It is said that there is no father and son in the royal family, but as my in-laws, have the Feng family ever helped me? Feng Zheng is my maternal grandfather, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his control, but he has been hiding far away in Pingliang Prefecture for many years and has never been close to me. In his heart, I am afraid that I am not his grandson at all."
"Even though Feng Zheng is cold-blooded and heartless, he still cares about our mother and has placed you in the palace to protect her safety. I am the most pitiful one, and no one cares about me. So I will seize the world and let them see. When I ascend the throne, everyone in the world will prostrate themselves at my feet, and I won't need their hypocritical affection. Even if they kneel down and lick my feet, I will not be soft-hearted!"
Empress Feng walked quickly with the palace maids. Before she even stepped into the palace, she heard these words first.
"Shut up!" Empress Feng entered the palace, her face stern, and she scolded fiercely, "Are you crazy? How dare you say such treasonous words! Aren't you afraid that your father will hear about it and punish you for treason!"
Zhu Yu looked at Empress Feng, smiled wantonly, and said sarcastically, "Are you crazy? I'm not crazy. As long as I ascend the throne, will I still be afraid of my father? Mother, you don't know yet, my father has been unconscious after taking the elixir in Xianyang! Today is a good time for me to ascend the throne and become emperor. You should quickly ask Jiang Fang to obey my orders and invite those ministers to the court."
Empress Feng glanced at Zhu Yu and advised, "If your father really took the elixir and something went wrong, the cabinet and the civil and military ministers would handle it, and the Imperial Household Department would also report back the news. The legitimate prince would succeed to the throne, so why are you so impatient that you have to take a risky move? Aren't you afraid that one careless move will lead to a complete loss?"
Zhu Yu simply didn't listen to what Queen Feng said, and said coldly: "I can't wait any longer, and I don't want to wait any longer. Ji Wudao has brought 100,000 soldiers to Beijing, and will surround the entire palace today to help me ascend the throne. What Feng Zheng can't do, someone else is willing to do for me. Mother, please don't hold me back, otherwise, from now on, I will never recognize you as my mother again!"
Empress Feng was extremely disappointed with her son. Seeing that she could not persuade him, she said, "I won't stop you from doing whatever you want, but Jiang Fang is your grandfather's man. You can't use him to do things for you. I want to take him away."
Empress Feng turned around and left with Jiang Fang.
"I'm going to use Jiang Fang!" Zhu Yu stopped the two and said anxiously, "Parents who love their children should plan for them in the long run. Even the lowly people in the society know how to love their children and plan for their descendants, but what about me? Although I was made the crown prince early on, my father is the emperor and he has never had me in his eyes. You and the people of the Feng family have never cared about me. Mother, now I just ask you to use someone to help me. Don't you think I am not as good as a guard like him?"
Empress Feng listened to these heart-wrenching words, raised her head and said in disappointment: "What you are going to do is a heinous act. If Jiang Fang lends it to you, it will involve the entire Feng family. Do you want all the hundreds of people in the Feng family to be buried with you? You are now obsessed with power and can't listen to anything. You want the throne, I won't stop you, but the people of the Feng family cannot be buried for your interests!"
