Chapter 359 Ling Changyue's Thoughts

The wind blew against his back. It was midsummer, but Ling Changyue shivered.

His mind was racing, and he kept thinking about how to answer Uncle Huang's words. Just when Ling Feng Huang's face showed an impatient look, Ling Changyue finally spoke: "My nephew did have a deal with her. If she can get pregnant and give birth to a prince, my nephew will let her be the queen."

"What else?"

Ling Feng Huang didn't even blink. His eyes were calm and peaceful. It was clear that he couldn't see any waves, but it seemed that he saw through her all at once.

His Adam's apple moved nervously, and Ling Changyue said: "Also, if I let this child become the crown prince, in the future, Nanqi will wholeheartedly help my Beiling to develop. In the future, the two countries will form an alliance, and after the crown prince takes the throne, there will never be a war!"

An Yunxi was stunned after hearing what Ling Changyue said.

She really couldn't help it, so she moved to Ling Fengxun's side, and then said calmly: "Prince, do you believe such naive words?"

Ling Changyue raised his eyes and stared at An Yunxi, his dark pupils hiding deep emotions.

"Why shouldn't I believe it? This child has the blood of our two royal families. If he can inherit the throne and make peace between our two countries, the people of the world will be grateful for my choice."

At this time, his voice was very sincere, as if he really thought so.

The Empress Dowager was also listening on the side. After hearing the words, she pondered for a moment, but walked over with her people. A clear light flashed in her cloudy eyes.

"You want to use this child as a bargaining chip to let Nanqi help you seize power and sit on the throne, right?"

The words of the Empress Dowager made Ling Changyue's eyes tremble slightly.

"Grandmother, what are you talking about? How could Nanqi do anything for me just because of a child?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Ling Changyue as if she saw the late emperor.

He is so much like his father, both are ambitious and daring.

In order to get enough benefits, he even sold out more benefits of Beiling Kingdom in exchange for advantages.

This child is actually just a tool that Ling Changyue surrendered to Nanqi Kingdom so that the other party can be more willing to support him.

Ling Changyue also knows in his heart that he has no one to rely on in the entire Beiling Kingdom.

So he began to have evil thoughts and wanted to rely on outsiders to help him deal with Ling Fengxun.

The Queen Mother has lived for so many years and is as shrewd as a human. How could she not see his little thoughts? Today, she pointed it out in public, making Ling Changyue, who was originally wearing a mask and showing humility, silent on the spot.

An Yunxi and Ling Fengxun also did not speak, but just looked at him quietly.

Ling Fengxun had known the other party's little thoughts for a long time, and he did not find it surprising to hear the truth today. If he wanted Ling Changyue to be honest, he had to die.

Ling Changyue slowly raised his head and sighed slightly.

His hands and feet had been cold for a long time, and being exposed by his own grandmother made him even more heartbroken than having Ling Fengxun see it.

"Grandmother, my father and I are your blood, why have you always been partial to the emperor's uncle? The emperor's uncle was just adopted by you at the beginning. If it weren't for you, the emperor's uncle would not have lived to this day."

At this point, Ling Changyue also knew that pretending was useless.

Xu Meir started this matter, and if there is no explanation, Ling Fengxun will never let him go again.

He might not survive today.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Hu Lier who was standing not far away, with a little guilt in his eyes.

"Lier, you go back first."

Hu Lier was stunned, and seeing that the scene was a bit solemn, she bowed and saluted: "I'll take my leave."

Ling Changyue didn't want Hu Lier to see him being too savage.

Although he had been savage enough during this period of time.

As an emperor, he was imprisoned in this palace and could not leave even a step. His life was really miserable.

Even if this result was his own choice, Ling Fengxun never gave him another way to go.

He has been forced to move forward all the way since he was a child.

When the Empress Dowager heard Ling Changyue's words, her expression fluctuated. It

's not that she doesn't care about her son and grandson, nor is she partial, but she knows what is right and what is wrong.

Ling Fengyan did not try to influence the Empress Dowager's thoughts at this time. His face was still as calm as before, and he waited quietly for the Empress Dowager to speak.

He also wanted to know the answer to this question.

The Empress Dowager's expression became more serious. She stared into Ling Changyue's eyes and said, "Changyue, do you know how your father ascended the throne?"

Ling Changyue was stunned for a moment, then recalled what he had heard and said, "Because my father defeated the other brothers and was praised by the emperor's grandfather."

"You are wrong."

The Empress Dowager bluntly denied Ling Changyue's words.

Ling Changyue raised his head, very puzzled: "Grandmother, isn't that the case?"

The Grand Empress Dowager shook her head: "Of course not, the reason why your father was able to sit on the throne was because of your uncle Xian. He relied on his own strength to become the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops. At the last moment of the struggle for the throne, he led the army to suppress the rest of your uncles and released your father who had been under house arrest for a long time, saving his life."

Ling Changyue had never heard his father mention this.

"Even so, I have always believed that the emperor is the emperor and the minister is the minister. Uncle Xian did not receive the emperor's order to mobilize troops. Isn't he rebelling?"

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and said, "He is indeed rebelling, but he is rebelling for your father. On the day of Emperor Taizu's death, he left a decree to pass on the throne. Do you know whose name is written on the decree?"

Ling Changyue's eyes widened, and his throat trembled a little.

"Isn't it my father's?"

The Empress Dowager sneered, "No, it's your Uncle Xian!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present, except the Empress Dowager and Ling Fengxian, showed a shocked expression on their faces.

The Queen Dowager's eyes widened even more. She had never thought that there was such a secret.

The Empress Dowager said: "I was there at the time. I saw with my own eyes that after the imperial edict was unfolded, I saw the name written on it. Before his death, Emperor Taizu did not hate Prince Yan at all for forcing the emperor to abdicate. He wanted to pass the throne to him, and was willing to break the old rules of Beiling Kingdom for so many years."

The so-called rules are that people with foreign blood cannot ascend the throne.

But in fact, this rule has been broken since Emperor Taizu.

Before everyone could react, the Empress Dowager threw out a truth that no one had ever thought of,

"The imperial edict of marriage granting was originally reserved by Emperor Taizu for Prince Yan."
