Chapter 9: Humanity is cold



When Yu Chaoyang heard this, his eyes lit up and he poked Shangguan Zishu beside him.

The two exchanged glances.

Shangguan Zishu immediately stepped forward and knelt before the prince.

"Prince, I will definitely be the crown prince of the Rong Palace, be filial to you, respect my elder brother and his wife, and take on the responsibilities of the Rong Palace."

The determination is expressed positively.

The prince looked coldly at the bastard who was kneeling in front of him.

The eldest son could not wake up, and he was sad for a long time, but as a man and the head of the palace, he had his responsibilities and could not be immersed in sadness forever. He could not be careless about what he should do.

Since the eldest son is not awake, the position of crown prince will sooner or later fall to the second son.

However, he couldn't help but look at the princess beside him.

I hope to see the princess nod.

But the princess did not say anything yet.

"Why is your Highness looking at her? You are the head of the family. Establishing a prince is a major event in the palace. What does a woman like her know?

The Rong Palace is the glory earned by our ancestors, and it is impossible to destroy it on a living dead who may die any day."

The second old lady shouted angrily, her face distorted.

"Brother, you have to make a decision sooner rather than later on such an important matter. Ziqi is already in such a state, we can only count on Zishu. If you don't want to pass it on to Zishu, you can pass it on to my Zifeng. As long as you are willing, brother."

The second master Shangguan Hongchen chimed in to persuade, but his words were just bullshit.

"Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. He is just a reckless person." Second Madam Miao Luoying quickly explained.

"How can you talk like that? I'm your man, don't you have any dignity? Be careful or I'll beat you up." Shangguan Hongchen glared at his wife beside him angrily.

"Your Majesty, the position of the Crown Prince is indeed very important. Since the Crown Prince can no longer wake up, it is better to make plans early."

The person who spoke was Shangguan Hongxiang, the eldest son of the old prince's second brother.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince is related to the century-old foundation of our Shangguan family. We can't delay it any longer." Shangguan Hongyun also advised.

He is Shangguan Hongxiang's younger brother.

All of them, the brothers, depended on the palace for their living, and they also received money from the public treasury every month to support their families. However, the money received by the next-door neighbors was less, but the public treasury still had to pay for weddings and funerals.

"Princess, what do you think?" The prince saw that everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, but he still wanted to get his wife's opinion.

"The palace belongs to the prince, and my opinion is not important." Qin Yuyan said expressionlessly.

She can't stop it alone.

This is the trend.

Each of them is eyeing the position of the Crown Prince like wolves and tigers. It is not that they want to fight for the position, but they want to establish a relationship with the Crown Prince in advance to gain more benefits for themselves.

The clan's business and land management are all managed by people in the clan. How much benefit they can get depends entirely on the attitude of the prince and the crown prince, so everyone wants to decide the position of the crown prince as soon as possible so that they can make plans.

"Doctor Gu, what are the chances that the prince will wake up?" The prince wanted to confirm again.

"I have done my best. The prince has been unconscious for half a day. The possibility of him waking up is very small.

However, there are always people better than you. Perhaps there are better doctors among the people, but I have not heard of them yet.

I will continue to treat the prince, and I will do my best and leave the rest to fate."

Doctor Gu didn't say anything definite, but it was as good as saying nothing.

Yu Yuanzheng watched everyone arguing about the position of the crown prince, and no one could wait for Shangguan Ziqi to die before making a decision.

People are so cold-hearted.

Shangguan Zishu, who was still kneeling on the ground, was still waiting for his king to make a decision.

Yu Chaoyang looked obviously excited.

She was waiting to become the Crown Prince's consort, so she suppressed her second sister and glanced at her from time to time.

Yu Yuanzheng was too lazy to look at her, but she could feel her gaze sweeping over her.

Yu Chaoyang was extremely excited at this moment.

Because in the previous life, the whole family sat down today to discuss who would be the crown prince, and the princess could not change the outcome at all.

She was the Crown Prince's Consort for only ten days, and then the palace began to prepare for the Second Young Master's marriage with great fanfare.

In this life, she took the initiative and the position of the Crown Prince's Consort was hers, and the position of the Princess would also be hers in the future.

"Your Highness, the imperial physician has done his best. There is no need to wait any longer. The sooner it is decided, the sooner it will be. The Second Young Master is also your son. It is natural for him to receive the honor. Why are you still hesitating?" The Second Madam wanted to get things done today.

The prince glanced at the second old lady.

This is his aunt and also his stepmother. She took care of him when he was a child, but became more and more nosy as he grew older.

Sometimes he doesn't distinguish between superiors and subordinates and dares to yell at the princess.

"Princess Li, what if the prince wakes up in the future?" Yu Yuanzheng gently pulled the princess' sleeve and asked quietly.

But her voice was heard by everyone when no one spoke.

"You have no right to speak here?" The second old lady suddenly got angry at her.

"Madam, I'm just saying just in case. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow."

Yu Yuanzheng would not be afraid to speak just because she scolded him.

"Second sister, stop talking. The adults will make the decision on this matter. How can you, a newly married daughter-in-law, have a say?" Yu Chaoyang also criticized her.

The princess patted Yu Yuanzheng's hand gently and told her not to get involved.

This matter mainly depends on the prince.

"Okay, everyone, please go away. I still need to discuss this matter with the emperor." The prince was in a dilemma.

Since we were discussing this with the Emperor, everyone had to disperse.

When Yu Yuanzheng wanted to leave, the prince asked her to stay.

"Princess, Ziqi's wife, please follow me to my study. I have something to tell you."

Yu Yuanzheng supported the princess and the prince and came to the front yard.

The prince's study is very grand, there are not many books in it, but it is decorated in a very stylish way. In addition to the books, there are also a few weapons on the wall.

"Yuyan, I'm sorry, I'm incompetent. But don't worry, even if Yun Yuanqi loses his position as the crown prince, I won't give up on him. I will continue to seek medical treatment and medicine until the end."

The prince said solemnly, with a sad look on his face.

"I know you are sad, but the palace cannot be without an heir. I hope you can think more positively." The prince said again.

"Your Majesty, I didn't think much about it, I just felt sorry for my son.

They were not even willing to wait for him to die. How cold-hearted.

When Ziqi was lying on the ground, what was their attitude? Was Ziqi not loving them enough? But in return, they were treated so coldly. "

As Qin Yuyan spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

The prince had nothing to say. This is human nature, interests come first.

They will stick to whoever can give them comfort.

"Your Highness, Zheng'er is a little girl. She is much better than Chaoyang. The daughter of the Duke's family is no more than this. It's just that this child has suffered."

"Yes. I know, that's why I want to tell her some things." The prince wiped the tears from the princess.

"Wife Ziqi, you said yesterday that when the prince wakes up, you will ask to leave the palace.

But now it seems that Ziqi can't wake up.

How long he can hold on, we can't be sure.

You will have to rely on yourself in the days ahead.

While the two of us are still alive, we can still take care of you a little, but sooner or later we will be ahead of you, and the rest of the way will depend on you alone.

I won’t say whether there will be room for you in this palace in the future.

I heard that your sister is not very kind to you. Your life will be even more difficult.

So I will give you ten people, you can use them as you like, they will protect you and Ziqi." The prince continued to say to Yu Yuanzheng.

A daughter-in-law who marries into the palace will basically stay in the palace for the rest of her life, unless the palace takes the initiative to divorce her.

And for a widow without a husband, it is possible to foresee what kind of life she will have in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will live my own life. I have one more request, and I hope Your Majesty's Consort will agree to it."

Yu Yuanzheng didn't expect that the prince also recognized her, so she did what she wanted.
