Chapter 2101 Are you qualified to inherit the throne?
Xu Miaoyin's eyes flickered slightly: "Then the reason for your trip is..."
Nan Yan said softly, "It's because the Empress has put so much effort and thought into it, and also wanted to get it for His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."
“…”
"The throne of the crown prince!"
“……!”
Xu Miaoyin's heart trembled.
She could probably sense the purpose of Nan Yan's trip, but she didn't expect her to say it so directly.
These four words were like a heavy blow to Xu Miaoyin's sick body.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Nan Yan with wide eyes: "You——"
Nan Yan said calmly, "Actually, I understand the Queen's painstaking efforts."
“…”
"Your Majesty tragically lost her unborn child. All these years, you have no children, only His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has been blessed with happiness. You hope he can inherit the throne, a wish every mother would have."
“…”
"I am no exception."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her bulging belly and frowned.
Nan Yan continued, "But, after much reflection, I realize that as a concubine, I am truly fortunate to be granted the title of Consort by the Emperor's grace. Over the years, I have also been blessed by the Empress's tolerance and protection, enjoying the grace and favor of the harem."
Hearing her say this, Xu Miaoyin smiled faintly.
This is not because Nan Yan deliberately flattered her. From ancient times to the present, the most taboo thing in the harem is exclusive favor. And since the day she was canonized, Si Nan Yan has almost always been the emperor's exclusive favor, except for some unexpected periods.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see this.
As the queen, Xu Miaoyin never thought of taking action against her.
Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see this.
Otherwise, the harem would have been in turmoil long ago.
Nan Yan said, "Such a great kindness, even if I die a thousand times, I will never be able to repay you."
“…”
"If you still want me to fight with the King of Wei, it is really wrong."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her: "You, do you really think so?"
Nan Yan nodded seriously: "Yes."
Her words made Xu Miaoyin take a deep breath. She looked at Nan Yan again with a complicated look, and a hint of respect was revealed in the complexity.
And Nan Yan continued: "But, this is not the most important thing."
"oh?"
"The most important thing is the rules. If you follow the rules in everything, you won't attract criticism or disaster. And since ancient times, there has been a rule for appointing a crown prince."
“…”
"Establish the virtuous and the elder."
“…”
"In this case, my son shouldn't fight with his elder brother."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her in silence for a long time before she spoke. Perhaps because of her weakness or her excitement, her voice trembled slightly as she said, "I didn't expect that the imperial concubine would be so broad-minded."
“…”
"It is I who am... narrow-minded."
Nan Yan shook her head: "A mother doing things for her child is not narrow-minded in any way."
“…”
"only--"
Xu Miaoyin looked up at her: "Just what?"
"But, Your Majesty the Queen is more than just a mother. You are also the Queen, the mother of the nation and a role model for all the people in the world."
“…”
"A mother can be narrow-minded, but a queen cannot."
Xu Miaoyin's expression changed slightly, and her breathing became heavier.
She panted slightly, supported herself with all her strength, and looked at Nan Yan: "You, what do you want to say?"
Nan Yan also looked at her.
Her gaze was solemn and heavy, and after a long moment, she asked, "Does the Empress think that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is qualified to inherit the throne?"
