Chapter 789 He is going to seize the throne
"You think Prince Yi is useless?" Altar Master Pang glanced at Lord Geng, "That means he is very successful in pretending."
"Ah?" Lord Geng shuddered. He understood what Altar Master Pang meant. Was he saying that Prince Yi was really keeping a low profile? "But Prince Yi really doesn't have any backers. Even if he is not completely clueless, he has nowhere to put his strength."
Prince Yi's mother was only a concubine until her death, Concubine Zhao. And the best person in the Zhao family now is only Zhao Ming, who has no complicated brains. In this cannibalistic circle, he will die if others make a move.
I'm not a cunning or scheming person.
The reason why Zhao Ming has been able to get by until now is because he does not pose any obstacle to others, does not attract attention, and is a loyal person.
It's okay if you live diligently.
"It is precisely because he has no place to exert his strength, but as a prince, he can still live to this day and still maintain the same sense of insignificance as when he was a child. This shows how smart he is."
After Master Pang accidentally noticed Prince Yi, he began to keep an eye on him.
The more he stared at him, the more he felt that this young Prince Yi was somewhat extraordinary.
He didn't say much to Lord Geng.
The most important point is that Prince Yi's situation was already bad. As such a marginalized prince, he should know that once his brothers start competing for that position, he will be killed first at any time.
This is inevitable when you are in the royal family.
The brotherhood among the princes is not so solid.
However, under such circumstances, he sent no less than five groups of people and tried various methods to win him over, but not once was he successful.
This shows that Prince Yi has a very clear mind, is very persistent in his own way, and knows exactly what he wants.
"Zhao Ming didn't do a good job this time, so don't blame him for now. Give him a chance and have a good talk with him. It would be best if you could get close to Prince Yi and find out what he wants."
"Yes, I understand. I will definitely get this done." Lord Geng nodded.
When the emperor heard that Fu Zhaoning had returned to the Fu family, he was indeed furious.
But he was also a little surprised to hear that Fu Zhaoning was fine.
"Is Prince Jun sick?"
The matter had not been fully investigated when the Queen Mother returned to the palace.
When the emperor heard the palace servant's report, he almost jumped up and his face changed.
"How can she return to the palace? I haven't figured out whether Prince Jun is sick or not. How can she return to the palace at this time? What if, what if——"
What if the Queen Mother also contracted that disease, wouldn't she be harming him if she returned to the palace at this time?
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager seems to be fine. In fact, she looks in good spirits." The eunuch said truthfully.
He looked at the Queen Mother from a distance.
I have to say that the Queen Mother seems to have gained weight. She has only lived in Prince Jun's mansion for less than half a month, and the Queen Mother has gained weight.
This shows that life in Prince Jun’s mansion is pretty good.
"Really? The Empress Dowager's face is not rotten?" the Emperor asked in a trembling voice.
Originally, he had to rush to welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace. After all, he still had to be a filial son and he still had to maintain his reputation as a filial son.
If he doesn't care about anything when the Queen Mother comes back, would that be justified?
But the emperor was afraid at this time.
"No, the Queen Mother is radiant."
"Let Concubine Le go over and take a look. I will feel at ease only after Concubine Le sees me." The emperor said quickly.
When Concubine Le received the imperial edict, she was so angry that she almost broke her nails.
She thought she was really the emperor's favorite, but when she encountered such a thing, the emperor actually asked her to face it first.
Isn't the emperor afraid that she will be infected? If she goes to see the empress dowager, will the emperor still see her?
Concubine Le was also a little scared, so she thought of a way to send a few concubines to ask the empress dowager to take over.
If we let them perform at this time, the Queen Mother might think that they are eager to find her to support them, so they are so eager to show up in front of her.
After receiving the order, the young ladies had no choice but to go see the Queen Mother together.
As soon as the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she was greeted by several concubines. They were all very polite, spoke nicely, and seemed to care about her very much.
But the Queen Mother knew very well that these people were sent here.
They also asked about Prince Jun's situation indirectly, and the Queen Mother calmly revealed a few words to them.
"It turned out that he had caught a cold. How could A Yuan stay in the prison? He fell ill as soon as he entered. Fortunately, there was a miracle doctor by his side. After half a month of nursing, he recovered. I am going back to the palace to persuade the emperor to stop tormenting A Yuan."
The concubines understood the empress dowager's implication and looked at each other.
The Queen Mother's intention is to stop the Emperor from dealing with Prince Jun, right? So, the Queen Mother is going to stand on Prince Jun's side?
They could only tell Concubine Le the truth.
Concubine Le also conveyed the Queen Mother's words to the Emperor.
The emperor was very suspicious. Although everyone said that the empress dowager did not seem to be ill, and the empress dowager and others also said that Xiao Lanyuan did not have that disease, the emperor still did not believe it.
"They must be hiding this for Prince Jun, unless Prince Jun dares to take off his mask in public."
The Queen Mother stood on Xiao Lanyuan's side, which made the Emperor even more afraid. If Xiao Lanyuan's body really recovered, would he start his plan to seize the throne?
In the past, Xiao Lanyuan had a poor health and was predicted to not live past thirty, but Fu Zhaoning cured him!
Now that he is in good health, he can fight for the throne!
And what did the emperor leave for him? He never found out!
If Xiao Lanyuan really wanted to seize the throne, would he assassinate him first?
The more the emperor thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had been having trouble sleeping recently, had many nightmares, and was losing his hair in clumps due to anxiety.
This must be his intuition, his intuition telling him that Xiao Lanyuan was going to seize his kingdom.
He has been on guard against Xiao Lanyuan for so many years, and has been worried for so many years, and now this day is finally coming!
"No, I absolutely cannot let Xiao Lanyuan succeed. He must be sick if he is not sick. Isn't his face rotten? As long as people see his face, they can throw that dirty disease on him."
The emperor was walking around in the imperial study, talking to himself.
"Fu Zhaoning said that he had cured him and removed the poison, but his face couldn't be explained at all. If we just say that he had contracted the disease, everyone would believe it! Anyway, with a face like that, he definitely can't be the emperor."
"Yes, yes, why should I think so much? Just let everyone see his rotten face. Such a face is enough to make him disqualified."
But Xiao Lanyuan's martial arts are so powerful, how can he lift his mask again in public?
Just when the emperor was extremely anxious, something happened in Huangjiang City.
